A Pawn's Creations
Within the nothingness they live in, they bring forth all that existed.
A Pawn’s Creation(s)—is a fictional fantasy setting that mainly revolves around the God of Creation and their creations—including gods, worlds, and mortals. In the grander scheme of existence, the God of Creation is a mere pawn playing around with their own creations, letting the stories between their own creations unfold. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy, or anything in-between among their own creations—Creation seeks to treasure them all within their own realm, as if it’s their very reason to continue existing.
To sum this setting up quickly—a lonely, dysfunctional creator god begets dysfunctional creations.
The setting’s name is often abbreviated as APC, or APCverse, and sometimes (affectionately) nicknamed as God Hell.
This is a passion project I develop during idle time, so the setting’s information may be added/removed/changed anytime.

The Setting
The Pantheon Realm is a catch-all location for A Pawn’s Creation, since every gods and worlds reside within it.
Inside the realm, there are several worlds where mortals reside. Not every world is created equal, and there are several worlds that may not qualify for a dedicated page, or yet to be developed sufficiently enough to be included on this website.
About Gods
A term for the beings who reside in the Pantheon Realm, separate from the mortals. They can manipulate things in their domain to an extent, and they're often assigned (mostly by God of Creation) to manage and watch over the worlds.
You can read more about godhood in general here.
About the Worlds
Worlds are where mortals mostly reside within, especially in the major worlds. Each world is a self-contained place within the Pantheon Realm. Apart from being used as a place for mortals, gods may have their other uses for some specific worlds.
They can be roughly sorted into two big categories: Major Worlds and Minor Worlds.
Major Worlds are the bigger self-contained worlds, mainly used as mortals' home. At the time of writing, this includes Sacred Earth, Land of Equinox, Fragile Dreamscape, and Paradise's Ruins.
Minor Worlds (sometimes referred to as mini worlds) are the smaller worlds. They're mainly created and used for specific purposes by the gods, whether to experiment with their own creations, to hang out with fellow gods, and so on. Though, these worlds can also house a few very specific mortals. A list of minor worlds (+ potential major worlds in the future) can be found in Other Worlds page.
About Mortals
Every non-god characters who reside in each world are referred to as mortals, including humans, animals, anything that can be considered a character. Despite the existence of characters who are technically considered immortals, if they aren’t a god, they’re still considered a mortal.
Alternate Worlds/AUs
Expies, alternative worlds/universes/selves, What-ifs, and anything similar—can exist in APCverse, outside of the main, linear storyline.
Though, since most changes/alternative adjustments usually focus on a few characters at once, there wouldn't be much pages detailing entire AUs out there.
For in-universe explanations for these: the gods can mess around with Minor Worlds, creating and viewing alternate outcomes for mortals who caught their attention.
Other Random Facts
- Angels/Demons are used very loosely here. Most of the time, angels are used to refer to "a god's lackey who doesn't have the power to create stuff like the gods", while demons are used for well, those who are demonized in APCverse.
Meta
- This setting was first made for fantasy god dramas, plus my tendency to add melodrama into my characters' stories. It was first created roughly back in 2020, I think? The first characters I've conceptualized are actually Egatha and Irtia, the Psyche Gods, then the God of Creation came next, then everyone else (unless you count me recycling my older characters as older characters in APC).
- During its early development, it was formerly called A Puppet's Theology.
- APC is pretty influenced by fantasy medias I've enjoyed, and psychology/religion/etc. stuff I'm interested in. It's pretty much me picking things that scratch my brain here and there, putting them into this god hell.
