![[Pasted image 20250602142757.png]] [^1] The Xeon Rapture Universe is a sprawling supercluster a billion light years wide teeming with disparate elements all crammed in and forced to share a living space. You want to hunt vampires? You can do that. Want to become a wyvern-rider and fight mercenary mechs in a remote asteroid belt? You can do that too. The possibilities are endless, confined only by the rules of the xeon, the spiritual substance that fuels both the magic and the technology of the universe. Harnessing the xeon can grant your characters superpowers, such as super-strength or telepathy, or can enable them to manipulate heat and cold, weight and friction through magical words and gestures. Your characters can become technologists, creating bombs or force fields or guns to wield on your enemies. They can make pacts with gods who grant them great power, or ally with spirits in order to protect their friends and punish their rivals. Each location in the supercluster has its own rules. Valda is a massive, cyberpunk city-planet run by corrupt companies who exploit their workers and punish those who work magic, and Ydilik is a high fantasy planet where the Old Houses of Eyyendal scheme and wyverns run amok. The Kotharak Field is an asteroid field populated by miners, mech-builders, and the corpo colonies of Valda, where every city generates its own atmosphere and every town is a warprun away. Cortez is a backwater planet where superpowered cowboys and ruthless pirates battle for gold and gems, and Jiyyagu is a jungle megaplanet ruled by mile-high monsters whose territorial scuffles can level mountains. Battle the servants of dark gods! Dive into the gray web and fight viruses and steal corpo secrets! Rise up against powerful forces keeping you down! Anything is possible in the Xeon Rapture Universe. --- The XRU is a massive sandbox with the goal of combining seemingly incompatible ideas into the same world. It houses science fiction and fantasy elements; a pantheon of gods; dragons, devils, vampires, and multiple different humanoid species all spread across a massive supercluster; and an expansive metaphysical magic system that is harnessed by the power-users, magicians, and technologists of the universe alike. The Xeon Rapture project is designed to be multimedia, modular, and collaborative: you can pick the elements that you want to use to make a story as long as it all fits within the world. The goal is to make it easy for others to create characters and then make art or adventure as their characters, whether it be on social media or by playing the XRRPG. I've made a tabletop role-playing game set in the world (called the [[XRRPG Overview|XRRPG]]), I stream as an in-universe character ([AviXXR](https://www.twitch.tv/avixxr)), and I make music as a different in-universe character on my youtube channel ([yt channel](https://www.youtube.com/@xeonrapture)). Keep tabs on the channel as I'm planning on releasing some stories set in the universe as well!
