In the context of the GRDSC/Infinuim Cosmology, the distinction between Original Canon and Extended Canon is crucial for understanding the scope and interpretation of the universe. Here's how each canon is defined:
Original Canon (GRDSC):
- Original Canon within the GRDSC/Infinuim Cosmology refers to the established lore and events that have occurred within the universe based on confirmed facts and narratives. It represents the definitive and authoritative version of the universe, often referred to as the "now factor" or the "OG" (Original Gangster) in terms of storytelling.
- Original Canon encompasses the core elements of the GRDSC universe, including key events, characters, anomalies, and locations that form the foundation of the storytelling experience. It serves as the primary source of truth within the universe, shaping the direction and evolution of the narrative.
Extended Canon:
- Extended Canon, on the other hand, explores speculative or alternative scenarios that exist alongside the Original Canon. It represents "what if" scenarios, interpretations, or fan-fictions that offer creative reinterpretations of the established lore.
- Extended Canon allows for the exploration of diverse perspectives, narratives, and concepts that may diverge from the Original Canon. It exists as a parallel or complementary dimension within the GRDSC/Infinuim Cosmology, often depicted as phantom bubbles or alternate realities within the OmniSphere.
- While Extended Canon may not be considered official or canonical in the same sense as the Original Canon, it provides valuable opportunities for creativity, experimentation, and world-building within the universe. It allows content creators to explore new ideas, characters, and storylines that expand the richness and depth of the GRDSC/Infinuim Cosmology.
The OmniSphere serves as the realm that encompasses both Original and Extended Canons within the GRDSC/Infinuim Cosmology, facilitating the coexistence and interaction of multiple interpretations and iterations. While Original Canon represents the core narrative and established truths of the universe, Extended Canon offers a space for exploration, speculation, and creativity, enriching the storytelling experience for both creators and audiences.
4. World-Building: Content creators are encouraged to contribute to the world-building efforts of the GRDSC universe, introducing new locations, organizations, and anomalies that contribute to the richness and diversity of the setting.
5. Canon Compliance: Canon compliance is essential to maintain coherence within the GRDSC universe. Content creators should strive to adhere to established canon while also having the flexibility to explore new narratives and ideas within the framework of the GRDSC lore.
Extended Canon Rules (GRDSC):
1. Interpretation: Content creators are encouraged to explore alternative interpretations and perspectives within the GRDSC canon, pushing the boundaries of conventional storytelling and challenging preconceived notions.
2. Expansion: The GRDSC universe is open to expansion and evolution, with new concepts, anomalies, and narratives continually enriching the canon. Content creators are encouraged to push the boundaries of imagination and creativity, introducing fresh ideas that contribute to the ever-growing tapestry of the GRDSC universe.
3. Innovation: Innovation is valued within the GRDSC canon, with content creators encouraged to experiment with new storytelling techniques, formats, and mediums. Non-traditional narratives, experimental prose, and multimedia projects are welcome additions to the GRDSC universe, fostering a culture of innovation and exploration.
4. Inclusivity: The GRDSC canon embraces diversity and inclusivity, welcoming narratives that explore a wide range of perspectives, cultures, and identities. Content creators are encouraged to celebrate diversity and representation within their work, promoting inclusivity and empathy within the GRDSC community.
5. Adaptation: Adaptation and reinterpretation of existing concepts and narratives are encouraged within the GRDSC canon, allowing content creators to put their unique spin on established lore and themes. Remixes, reimaginings, and alternative takes on familiar elements contribute to the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the GRDSC universe.
These rules provide guidelines for content creators within the GRDSC community to uphold and expand the canon while fostering creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity.
