Let Me Know If There Are Any Coasters You Want To Know The Characters Of! - Tumblr Posts
Surprise! You guys are getting ✨Theme Park OC lore✨ today!
I wanted to make a post explaining the setup of what I like to call the "Parkverse," which is the name of the universe in which my theme park OCs reside! All information that I write about the Parkverse will be found under the tag #Parkverse!
(⚠️Potential trigger warning for the brief mentioning body horror - stay safe, y'all's!⚠️)
In the Parkverse, every single ride in the world is accompanied by what's called a "Ride Spirit." It's the very soul a ride which is created by and powered via the magic that is made from the memories made by parkgoers. Usually, the most powerful of Ride Spirits (or just Spirits for short) are those that are born from roller coasters, otherwise known as Coaster Spirits. It's the Coaster Spirits that I'll be mainly focusing on.
Every Coaster Spirit will choose a "Representative" (sometimes called a "Guardian" or "Host" depending on the park), which is a human that the Spirit decides to share its magic with via a process called "Bonding." Once the person is Bonded to the coaster, they gain access to magic themed to the theme of the roller coaster as well as a psychic bond to the Coaster Spirit itself, able to both communicate directly with the ride and be used as a vessel for the ride to communicate with others (more or less possession lol).
Every Representative also has access to what's called a "Ride-Realized" form, which is the a term used to describe how a Rep's body will transform in order to better accommodate larger levels of magic. Ride-Realized forms are usually only used by Reps during special events or if the park needs defending, as there's usually some body horror involved. Some Reps will elect to adopt certain features of their Realized form in everyday life, or alternatively will only use certain Realized features when needed rather than going fully Ride-Realized when not needed. This is referred to as a "Partially Realized" form, and the term can be used to describe a wide range of different forms & features so long as they're somewhere between a regular human form and a fully Ride-Realized form.
And that's all I got for now! If you want to find my characters, they'll be under the tag #Disaster's OCs, while character introductions will be under the tag #Character Intros! I hope you have a great rest of your day & thank you for reading my ramble! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
