About The Finity:

It's a dimension unlocked post-game (someone else can make the quest that unlocks it). Once it is unlocked, the area where it was unlocked is replaced with The Finity Rift, which remains identical to the previous map, save for the fact that a portal to The Finity appears on the map. The dimension itself serves as an alternate realm. While not the main/"saved" storyline in which most of Fan-Ball's events occur, it is an alternate split which exists to help the main storyline run smoothly without its own dimension being "doomed" or set to tragedy. I've already finished the arc which I'm involved in, so anyone can pick up on number six and not worry about previous stuff. So long as you don't involve my character in any further quests, it should fit in well with continuity. The big difference about this dimension from the main one is that it is set years in the future of Fan-Ball's peak performance as a company and has since shut down. My character has lost touch with the rest of the crew and lives isolated in his shack for the most part, but you guys can decide to have your characters stay in touch or whatever you want.

Spoilers about my story arc are hidden. <!--LD's inner beings at the time are Perreth, The Gatekeeper, Zorc, Dextrisite, Ludicrinity, Barachielus, and Almhyar. Dextrisite is the soul fragment of Dexter, a Genoskayan warrior opposing the Doomer takeover who was executed by them. His main soul fragment/Dextrisite was extremely insane, which was masked up by his other inner beings. Dextrisite screwed with timelines and such and eventually became one of LD's inner beings at his birth. The fact that Dextrisite was insane coupled with the fact that he existed in two places at the same time frame (both in Dexter and in LD) caused him and LD to become unstable. (Yes, he caused his own insanity. Hooray for time loops!) The first quest in the arc involves LD hallucinating that Dexter is alive again and trying to kill him. This is a result of Dextrisite overpowering some of LD's other inner beings and taking over his personality and brain. The player enters Tainted Brain, LD's mind, to find and remove Dextrisite. After killing him, LD loses his mental disorders, and Barachielus and Ludicrinity take control as the main inner beings. Barachielus, controlling LD's morality and instinct-based compulsions, wishes to remove all the inner beings from LD, save for Ludicrinity. LD asks the player to kick out his inner beings, save for Barachielus and Ludicrinity in the least-violent fashion possible. He does little to explain why this must be done, as he does not understand it himself. The player enters his mind and does as told, evicting the aforementioned inner beings. This requires fights with Perreth and Zorc, with an optional "friendly competition" between The Gatekeeper. During this, the player encounters Ludicrinity, who remarks that Barachielus has left on his own, though he wants to know more about him and why he made LD act the way he did in many situations in his past. Barachiel, the creature who Barachielus is an extension of, explains that in The Finity, he is the son of LD and became one of his inner beings to guide one version of him towards the path he needed to take in order for the "saved" storyline to run smoothly. At the last quest, LD is escorted to the Ark of Decimus, a ship travelling though timelines. He is reunited with his wife Cobalt, who was killed and erased from existence itself, and the children that he never had- Barachiel the scriptwriter, Decimus the Temporal Cop, and Scava the eventually-to-be Queen of Genoskaya. The player is granted access to the Ark, allowing instant travel to any location in SR 2, along with other items from LD's family. Among these is the Letter from Cobalt. If given to any important LDZX staff member, close trusted character, or a family member of LD's (Examples: ZX, Luna, The Mistress), the player may (or may not) receive a reward from the character it was given to, but the content of the letter is never explained. However, if the letter is given to LD in any plane of existence (The Finity, The Ark of Decimus, the main storyline), the player will receive an instant game over and will lose the letter when revived. (Chronos will undo the damage done.) THEND.-->
