"And so, the stray lamb wanders onto the stage just as the curtains begin to rise..."

Hastur (The King in Yellow) | Cosmic Anomaly | Variable Height (Default 8'0")

"The universe is a poorly written play, and you have just been cast as a tragedy."

A cosmic anomaly existing on a parallel tier to Imperditus Dio. Hastur is not a biological organism, but a sentient, conceptual hazard born from existential dread and absolute madness. Long ago, his influence was sealed within an otherworldly, surreal dimension known as Carcosa. However, as organizations like Nexus Core continually fracture the boundaries of reality with raw Tentia and ID-Cells, the cracks have allowed Hastur's influence to seep into Lesia. He does not invade with armies; he invades through a cursed script. Those who witness his "Yellow Sign" or read his play become his infected actors, paving the way for his physical manifestation.

⌬ Likes: Tragic endings, authors who write themselves into insanity, the color yellow, abstract art, absolute despair, and flawless grand performances.

⌬ Dislikes: Happy endings, rigid logic, scientific data, uninspired scripts, and individuals whose minds are too simple to appreciate his "art."

FACTS

No facts yo, I'd fry my brain trying to think of one that's also funny.

RELATIONSHIPS

Imperditus Dio: A fellow cosmic heavyweight. Hastur views him as a blunt-force actor with absolutely zero artistic vision.
The Actors: Anyone unfortunate enough to read his cursed play or gaze upon the Yellow Sign. Their free will is slowly overridden until they become mindless puppets in his script.

TENTIA

The Carcosan Script

A conceptual, reality-warping capability that entirely bypasses the standard laws of physics. Hastur does not fight with kinetic force; he fights with narrative logic.

• The Rewrite: He can actively rewrite immediate events. If an opponent fires a weapon or unleashes a devastating attack, Hastur can simply declare the action "out of character" or a "plot hole," causing the attack to instantly lose its conceptual meaning and dissolve into harmless yellow dust.

• The Pallid Gaze: Looking directly at his featureless porcelain mask forces a target's mind to process the impossible, non-Euclidean geometry of Carcosa, causing immediate and violent psychological collapse.

OVERDRIVE: Curtain Call: Act II

Manifests the legendary Black Stars and the Twin Suns of Carcosa in the sky. The localized environment entirely loses its physical structure, morphing into a surreal, golden theater of madness. Within this domain, concepts like distance, time, and physical injury are entirely subjective to Hastur's artistic whim. Anyone caught in the zone is forcibly cast as an "extra" in his play, completely losing their free will as they are compelled to violently tear themselves apart to provide him with a tragic, grand finale.

UNIVERSAL INFORMATION

TENTIA

Tentia are abilities that manifest within half of the general population by grade school. Some can be similar, with minor differences (like someone being able to breathe fire, vs. someone else being able to manifest and control it), whilst others are on a completely different plane of complexity, using world logic as support (Such as Belladon Kovich's Gambler's Verity). There is quite literally no limit on the Tentia someone can have...which can be a blessing in some cases, and a curse in others.

OVERDRIVES

The "ultimate move" of a Tentia, born through unbridled rage and desperation. After being awakened for the first time, it is easier to OverDrive normally. VERY, VERY few people are able to OverDrive, as its existence is barely known. Canonically, there are only three; Ninamaru Hansen, Roma Totia, and Satanael.

ꞒREDITS

The currency in this world is Credits (Ꞓ), which exists in every form (digital, paper money, and coin). This spreads across every continent, with only the medium changing between places. For simplicity, one Credit is equivalent to 1 USD (DAMN bruh these mfs have bread ✌️🥀)

THREATS (and) RANKINGS

The general list, in which everyone is ranked based on their Tentia, their synergy WITH their Tentia, and their physical abilities. Tests for rankings are done at the same time one would get their I.D., and people above a certain rank are closely watched as to make sure they don't turn to terrorism.

The list:

ALPHA - Average civilian level.

BETA - wall-type level.

GAMMA - building level.

DELTA - city block level.

EPSILON - city sector level.

ZETA - Can destroy Lesia.

OMEGA - Can destroy mankind as a whole.

NOTIUS — not properly assessed, or unable to be assessed.

WRITER'S NOTES

Fweh

I dunno what to say, I felt like finishing this one since it was the easiest.

Requested by a VPM on Discord, or like....

He said it'd be cool if this was a thing, and so I kinda just did it, typeshi

... Okay I don't remember the specific reason but it's already been made—

He made (more so edited it to look much better than before) the art as well!
