The World Lines is the name given to the Greater Multiverse by the Antheticans. It is a way of simplifying and explaining the intricacies of the multiverse theory, as well as navigating stellar and chronological coordinates. The World Lines (Detailed in a simplified form above) are endlessly complex; A web of timelines upon timelines upon timelines, each intersecting, regressing, living and dying at every moment. As Anthetica resides outside of time and space, they use the World Tree to traverse the endless World Lines in the name of The Duty.

The Prime Line is the name given to the original timeline. Also known as the Alpha Line, this is the version of history in which all other lines are based off of, and thus, the most important. The Duty's primary task is to ensure that the Prime Line can continue onward unto eternity, as time should. Changes to the Prime Line often echo out unto the Parallel Lines, so long as the changes done to it are before a parallel line's birth.

An Eidos Junction is any point in time in which a choice or event must occur or be made. In simple terms, it is a moment when an outcome is in doubt. Perhaps a coin lands on heads instead of tails. Perhaps a burglar thinks otherwise of robbing a rich man. When these decisions are made within the Prime Line, endless versions of reality in which all other outcomes were made are produced. These are known as Parallel Lines.

Parallel Lines are alternate versions of history caused by branching events. A lost bet could lead to a man turning his life around, and thus, starting a substantial shipping company that changes the world. Perhaps a notable hero falls, and all of reality is torn to shreds. The unpredictability of parallel lines often leads to them branching off of each other, and producing Sub-Parallel Lines. These versions of events can then produce their own Sub-Parallel Lines, and thus, the infinite nature of the multiverse is laid barren.

When a parallel Line cannot exist, be it by absolute destruction or other such circumstance, it is known as a Doomed Line. These Lines are doomed versions of time, in which existence cannot carry on any further. Perhaps all life was wiped out by a virus. Perhaps a Luminescent of Destruction-Class chose this line to obliterate in exchange for future power. Either way, there cannot be parallel lines from a doomed line without outside assistance.

When a line attempts to mend itself by way of time-travel, a world line turns retrograde, sprawling backwards through time. This is often done by a singular force attempting to right a wrong, and force a parallel line into existence. However, if said time travel was destined for this line, it produces a Regressive Line instead, or a line that is caught in a time loop. Regressive lines cannot continue, for their events repeatedly play out without resolution. Should the loop be resolved, a parallel line is produced instead.

Absolutes are beings that are known to reside above the power level of gods. Their power is so immense, that they cannot hold physical presence in a world line without an Avatar. Many absolutes allow for certain individuals to utilize their Graces in greater capacity. Those who bear graces are called Grace-Bearers. Grace bearers who hold graces utilize them at cost to themselves. The more powerful the grace, the greater the cost.

If one is able to master a grace and truly become one with the absolute it stemmed from, the user becomes an Avatar. Avatars hold the unique ability to surrender their body and mind to host the Absolute, allowing for the absolute to assume physical form within the world lines. This action causes the avatar in question to be temporarily vanish, replaced by their Absolute. As such, it is not used often.

The following is a table of known Graces, their Absolute Designation, the Absolutes, and the gracebearers/Avatars who hold it. Gracebearers are marked with (GB) While Avatars are marked with (AV).

On 22:31 of the 12th day of the 10th month of cycle 902,291,104,540,105, The Queen was awoken once more. As this event occurred, Sophia Von-Lumina Auragale of line P-0 was erased from existence. While erasures from existence are not uncommon, her removal from the prime line resulted in a tremendous power vacuum forming.

From this void, a wave echoed across the world lines. One that screamed for rectification. It called to the parallel variants of her. The countless copies, variants, and more, scattered across the world lines. Like moths to a flame, rifts were opened, and they came, one after another. The dimensional barriers stopped most of them, but a few slipped by.

These Parallel Variants are listed in the Parallel Variants Index.

This event has been deemed the Dimensional Intrusion Event, and is said to be a direct consequence of the "Prime" Sophia's untimely "death". Details on the exacts of this mechanism are unknown, but the appearance of Parallel Variants into the Prime Line is sporadic, and unable to be predicted. Attempts to halt this phenomena have been unsuccessful.

Further research is ongoing.

The following index is meant to index the Parallel Variants who have succeeded in breaching Line P-0. Their names, alongside their lines, are mentioned here. Further details are below. This index will be updated as more variants inevitably breach the veil of the Prime Line.

Countess Von Auracula: A Vampire Queen from a world known as the Darkrealm. In this version of history, the Continental Circus succeeded in bringing about the night of devilry, resulting in the "Darkwave" transforming the known universe into all-saints-wake themed monstrosities. Chronic liar. Chaotic in nature. She bears powerful hemomancy.

Von Aurasale: A version of the prime who stems from a fully rejoined world. Their unsundered world was flooded by endless darkness, turning all of existence into the "Endless Void", and thus, all beings into Voidsent. Though she attempted to save her realm using a voidal variant of Luminescence known as "Voidalescence", in the end, the darkness eroded her humanity and much of her memories. After a promise that never came to be from P-0 Sophia, she swore vengeance upon line P-0. Fortunately, she is bound by contract to be "helpful". To be considered extremely dangerous due to being a master of the void.

Siffia Von Brightengale: A sundered variant of the prime, who lost her memories and was raised as a crystarium soldier in the first. Gentle, soft, and timid to a fault, her only notable strength is her tenacity and desire to protect all living things from harm. Enjoys flowers, walks, and sightseeing.

Solia Heavensgale: A variant of the "Godly" versions. This variant was convinced by their patron natural luminescent to obey, and fell into the trap of believing she was a kami sent down from the heavens. Prideful to a fault, she spends her time smiting those who do not please her, but has been spotted lately in the company of a demon hunter, atoning for her sins.

PI-Unit 50 - Codename "Sofi": A parallel variant from a world where a less war-hungry version of the Omicrons took over society, rocketing the average technology exceptionally high. As a result, megacorporations formed, and the world became as a cyberpunk dystopia known as "Heights City". As one of few PI-units, this machine serves as an investigative unit, when she isn't playing VR games to distract herself. She serves under a handler known as "Mister Mav", working to right the wrongs of her corrupt society as best she can.

Hellmaker Von Auragale: A variant from K-7 who was once responsible for the line's complete and total obliteration. Serving as the Absolute of a unique power of Luminescence known as Defiance, this power is said to be capable of defying the very power of the Grace of Fables. After a lengthy, drawn-out fight with Kostromir Anthetik, she is said to be far more willing to give existence a second chance. Going under the name Red, she would eventually find a way to control her unearthly rage towards existence. She now works alongside Veilbreaker Iriq in line Z-410 to assist other Defiance users with coping. She is said to now serve as editor to the being known as Origin. Current information on this entity is unknown.

Sozi: A necromancer in training, she is a variant who stems from a line where a zombie plague took over most of the civilized world. Over time, the zombies grew some semblance of intelligence back, though they lacked their former memories, and rebuilt a civilization around the undead named Rotania. Eventually, the remnants of mankind and the newly risen undead came to terms, and the world kept turning as usual. A ditz by nature, her hunger for "tasty brains" is a near constant, as well as her flirtatious nature. Love bites from her run no tangible risk of zombification, just... Don't let her eat your brains.

Sotiria: An ancient from a line where the Warrior of Light managed to stop Kairos from activating. With full memory of the cause of the final days, the cause was quickly averted, allowing the era of the ancients to continue perpetually. She often spends her days studying lifeforms, hoping to become the next Lahabrea, though many are concerned her adventurous spirit will lead her to becoming the next Azem.

Somiia Heavensgate: A yokai who takes the form of a Kitsune, bearing brilliant white fur, and piercing yellow eyes. Known for her selfish nature and wholehearted desire to cause mischief upon mortal beings, they secretly long to be pampered and treated as a fine pet. One of the least destructive PVs, so long as you do not engage in open hostilities with them. Tail touches and ear-scratches are known to be effective methods of pacification.

Sophus Soulbreeze: A hard-boiled detective from GN-70's Eorzea. A world where technology advanced to a point, then promptly stopped due to a rampant wave of crime. Working as a private detective with his partner Claws, he is known to constantly monologue like a hard-broiled 70s noir detective. Known to smoke cigars and shoot first, ask questions later, he works without falter to try and stop crime by any means necessary.

Duchess Von-Lumina: Adopted into the lap of Ishgardian Luxury, she's a prim and proper noblewoman who may or may not enjoy horn rubs, tail touches, and warm surfaces. After the collapse of Ishgard in her world line, she founded a mercantile enterprise in Ul'dah, earning her the nickname "The Blue Scale of Commerce". Though most of her conversations revolve around the economy, she is eager to find out more about those around her, as she secretly longs for company.
