All the titans have their manner of followers, Tymor
has the rabbits and Remagín the lions (just to take two examples), so what
about their mutual father Dust? He does indeed have his own people, his helpers
in his kingdom of Tomake, but they are fallen and not at all as powerful as
they once were. They are the Fans.
They were originally the men in Burnt Umber, sent all
over the imagined realm to see to it that Dust´s stories were followed to the
letter. They fell after a great war about reasons unknown (although it is
called the schism by those of themselves that are till interested in such
things).
After their fall, they were divided into Fanboys and
Fangirls. The Fangirls believe in influencing the world through the love of the
inhabitants, while the Fanboys desire balance over all things, even happiness.
All wars must be equal, all conflicts solved through equal weaponry and
stalemates.
That said, they are not above picking favorites,
forgetting their own mission. The leader of the Fangirls is called Isthar of
war and sex and the leader of the fanboys is called the Red Don, god of canon. They
are all over the world, hidden and unable to reproduce. What if they remembered
their purpose? What if the remembered what they truly are? In that case, the
world would be given in to fate, the fate that Dust has decided with no chance
to escape. Do we want to live in such a world? Hmm, maybe not.
Therefore, maybe we should be grateful that are
imagination is not ruled by Dust the almighty, that we have free will and that
our thoughts can wander as they please. Although not perfects, they are precious
in themselves. Well, that is not a though that we must entertain right
now...
However, these creatures have left many powerful and
reality-altering devices on many worlds throughout the cosmos. The most
powerful of them are, in order, the plot-twister, the plot-holer, the plot
coupon manufacturer, the plot derailer and the plot threader. Some of the
Fanboys are openly hostile and hateful to humans and other sentient beings,
like the witch known as Sue.
What these creatures achieved when they were still
known as The Men In Burnt Umber is unknown, and some of these things may remain
somewhere... not their weapons listed above, but great cities and libraries
housing even bigger secrets!!! Just thing about that, all that ancient secrets…
The fall of the old civilizations and tribes, the
first intelligent one in the world, mind you into Fanboys and Fangirls...what
brought it on? Nothing short of a calamity such as the world had ever
seen, nor will be seen again!
EDIT: Most of these beings are shattered all over the
Worlds, with most of the Fangirls living in the great labyrinth near the
warp-zone to Foxstar. The males are known to inhabit the Airlands of Vetro,
specifically the lower depths of the great library of red magic. Only two are
known to inhabit Earth, and are simply known as Fangirl and Fanboy.
Fanboy works as a double agent for both P.U.N and P.U.N.E, and sees to it
that their conflict can never be won or ended. Fangirl lives her life in
America as a lowly criminal.
