Life Hacks/Backstory

Nature of the Omniverse

The omniverse appears to be a perpetual series of nested simulations.

Host Universe

This area is for information about the universe that is simulating the story's main universe in the game "Life".

• The preferred term for "game mods" is "game hacks" instead.
• The old gods appear to be old school players of the game "Life" insinuating that time passes much slower outside of the simulation.
• When logged off the avatars of the players are either gone or set on AI (act like normal people), depending on the wishes of the player. If set on AI they are "in character" constantly. They will act in a manner consistent with how the player plays them in character; but will not be able to converse about the host universe, or any other knowledge the player has but the character does not.
• They have something similar to Mountain Mist Code Blue (Mountain Dew Code Red) only it's green.

Story Universe

This area is for information about the primary story universe, the setting of the game "Life", including the rules by which the game is run.

• There is currently no magic, or super powers in the universe . . . apparently that was not always so.
• (Uncursed) Magical Artifacts glow a pulsing green for players.
• Cursed Magical Artifacts glow a pulsing red for players.
• (Unflawed) Psionic Artifacts glow a pulsing yellow for players.
• Flawed Psionic Artifacts glow a pulsing orange for players.
• (Unflawed) Superscience Gadgets glow a pulsing blue for players.
• Flawed Superscience Gadgets glow a pulsing violet for players.
• Special items of more than one type cycle through the colors.
