A lonely, dysfunctional creator god begets dysfunctional creations.
A Pawn’s Creation(s) (aka. APCverse/Pawnverse)—is a fantasy setting that revolves around a certain God of Creation and their creations—including gods, worlds, and mortals alike.
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—they seek to treasure all, as if it's their very reason to exist.
This is a passion project of a personal sandbox/headworld/paracosm. The information throughout the pages may be added/removed/changed at anytime, and it will remain perpetually work-in-progress.

Miscellaneous
- APCverse is a paracosm/personal creative sandbox I've been having for a few years, created during a certain pivotal point in my late teenage years.
- Some reoccuring topics in APCverse are flaws and trauma. Hell, even the creator of this universe is a deeply flawed and traumatized person—that their imperfections reflect upon their creations. Still, there is beauty and hope to be found.
- "Is Kias basically a self-insert of sorts?" I see them as a separate being from me, with their own story going on... Not really a sona, not really "me", and I would put them through stuff like all of my OCs too. Though... I guess I can hint that Kias' opinions/attachment towards APCverse is similar to my own, except add the intensity and add the context of them being stuck in an eternal cycle of samsara with fractured memories/identities.
- "If Seasverse involves being eternally reincarnating there, wouldn't the universe be wiped each time Kias dies there?" As long as Kias can be reborn in Seasverse, the APCverse can keep marching on (with the creations having their own will to do stuff despite Kias' physical absence). The APCverse is tied to Kias' existence.
- "Which character do you consider to be your self insert?" My self-insert? Why, it's right where I left it... It's yours if you can find it... But you'll have to search the whole universe!
APCverse's Origins
- 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 2021. 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.
