infodump on one of my writing projects :PP

So basically there's this Mother God type character, she lives in the space Between and is orbited by eight universes. One day seven little kid gods appear out of nowhere and Mother is very confused but just kind of rolls with it and raises the kid gods. She gives each of them their own universe to take care of and rule over, so she's left with only one for herself. She tries her best to teach the kids to be loving and thoughtful to the creatures in their universes but that doesn't work out well, it's sort of like when parents give their toddlers live animals expecting them to properly take care of them with no previous experience or knowledge.

Mum God crashes out and decides to punish each of her children buy banishing them to live as some sort of living breathing organism on a planet in their respective universes, and they're not able to come back until they've learned the true meaning of kindness blablabla and also until the Antichrist is born. (i call them the Antichrist or the Beacon basically they have superpowers and are the only ones able to turn the banished kids into gods again) Oh yeah also if one of the kid Gods dies while banished Fate will randomly pick out someone else to become a god, life's unfair like that. The Mum God's plan has a bit of a hole in it though, even though she banished her kids, she isn't able to take the universes back into her own orbit so the people in the worlds kind of freak out cause like??? where'd god go???? they all think they've been abandoned or that their god has died and it kind of devolves into chaos.

Tracy is one of the main characters of this story, they're one of the ex gods who was sent down to a planet to for being too irresponsible. Luckily for them, they end up in the body of an Elf and not a fish or bug (like a couple of their extra unfortunate siblings) and goes out to seek the Meaning Of Life and also the Antichrist/Beacon/whatever.

On the planet Tracy ended up landing on, there's a group of people that live up in the Golden mountains who supposedly have the blood of the Gods running though their veins (spoiler, they don't.) The Golden mountains are the highest mountain chain in this world and they say that is the closest one is able to get to the Gods --which these people call Stars because of a wheel-like constillation of very bright stars who represent the Mother God and each of the Kid Gods.

In this community, there are two Chosen ones, they are supposedly children of the stars put on earth to carry out some big mission and bring salvation to the people. These Chosen ones are twins named Yrjö and Tyyne. The community put a lot of pressure on them to solve their problems and communicate with the Stars.

When the Kid Gods are banished, seven of the stars in the wheel-constillation disappear, which causes a mass panic. Yrjö and Tyyne bullshit a shared vision and a prophecy/ message from the Stars saying that they need to leave the mountain and find the missing gods, insisting that no one else can come and it is the stars will. The leaders let them leave. This was their first mistake.

As soon as they leave, Yrjö and Tyyne go on a whole lot of adventures together cause for once they're free to do whatever without the Elders breathing down their necks so thats nice.

BOOM Tyyne is killed by this big scary monster (a product of the worlds descending into chaos --it gets much worse.) and Yrjö is alone. He freaks the fuck out, has a breakdown and meets Fink.

NOW LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT FINK AND THE TRAVELLING CITIES BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS EVER.

The travelling cities are very much inspired by my favorite book back in year 4, Mortal Engines. Except these cities are powered by magic and not petrol or whatever. Constantly moving, constantly shifting and changing. Change is a very big part of life for the people of the travelling cities (contrary to the people of the golden mountain, who dread change more than anything,) who also happen to be shapeshifters and also genderfluid. #woke

SO THE SHAPESHIFTING WORKS LIKE THIS: if you have a strong connection to the big magic energy core thing that powers everything including the cities, all you need is pieces of a different individual. The people collect feathers, bones, hair, teeth, hides and suchlike, which is one of the reasons they travel so much. As long as you have the creatures DNA on you, you're good to go. So they're always decked out in these awesome outfits with teeth necklaces and feathers and stuff on their clothes. The thing with this is, when you shapeshift you'll basically turn into the individual whose dna you carry. Also, the individual doesn't have to be dead, you can knock a tooth out of some guy without actually killing him and still be able to impersonate him.

So Yrjö and Fink meet, they travel around together and end up falling in love cause who doesn't love romance as a subplot. THEN they get attacked by another big scary monster. To defend them, Fink also turns into a monster, the same monster, in fact, who killed Tyyne. Yrjö freaks out again cause he thinks Fink IS the monster that killed Tyyne (he doesn't know all that much about the shapeshifter thing) and is insanely betrayed by this, fleeing and leaving Fink for dead.

We now move back to Tracy, and also skip back in time around 3-4 years, when they arrived on earth. Tracy ends up in the streets of Brimbearn, the capital city of the Isles of Himmel, stuck in the body of a fourteen year old elf. Since this is a fantasy story, I am obviously obliged to include a nation of floating islands. The Isles of Himmel have a very big Orphan problem, because all the adults keep dying in farming accidents (the islands' main export is a magic healing moss that is also a very strong and sought after drug that grows on the underside of the islands, farmers are strapped into harnesses or lowered on platforms to harvest the moss and the fatality rate of this occupation is worryingly high.) So the government has put a whole lot of funds into building big fancy orphanages, if only to keep the kids off the streets. Tracy gets taken in to one of these orphanages where they meet Orla. It take's a while, but Tracy and Orla become friends and Tracy tells her about their situation with being kicked out and shit and Orla is VERY eager to help...

After a couple years, Orla moves to the emperors palace to work as a maid, and the two of them drift apart. They don't have a big falling out or anything, but slowly they just stop talking to each other. Tracy decides they've been stalling long enough and decides to head out into the world to look for the antichrist and their mothers forgiveness.

Which takes us to the present, Tracy is travelling with a caravan through the woods of a country called Opal, which is very much based off Sweden and Norway, and runs into Yrjö, who's also travelling with the caravan. At first they kind of assume Yrjö is a bit of a nutcase, being constantly nervous and jumpy, looking over his shoulder and talking to himself. Then they realise what it is Yrjö's saying, prayers to the stars. Prayers to TRACY. So they decide to take pity on him and tries to befriend him. Yrjö, however, has MAJOR trust issues after what happened with Fink so it doesn't really work out all that well and he actually ends up being seperated from the caravan and Tracy just sort of assumes he dies and goes on with their life.

Yrjö is stuck and lost in the forest for a couple days before eventually blacking out from dehydration and wakes to 2 days later in a creepy treehouse, he freaks out and tries to escape but is ambushed by a 4 year old half goat half little girl whose name is Gertie, she says that she and her mum found him in the forest and decided to take care of him. Then the mum comes in and her name is Hulda and she is a Huldra (Nordic mythical creature that is part woman part goat / cow / horse / tree / fox depending on the region, the keeper of the forest)

I don't have the energy to write anymore but i have everything planned out in my head and shits getting crazy trust
I WILL come back to this... probably
uhh yea notify me if there are any plotholes or something that i haven't noticed
this is a very rough summary and is basically just for me to get the stuff in my head down into words, i am writing the actual story with more thought.
