CrossoverWorld is a hidden realm where magic, myth, and meta collide. Stitched together by the righteous Founder and threatened by the rebellious Antagonist, it's a patchwork universe of enchanted kingdoms, neon cities, and corrupted code. When Dirk—a duppy with a haunted past—encounters Him, he’s drawn into a battle against Bosses and mini-bosses reshaping reality. Joined by Princess Caramel, Manny the missionary, Mythicman, and a baby kawaiju named Gwana, Dirk must uncover ancient prophecy, wield faith-powered artifacts, and challenge the Final Boss before the Ultramundum itself unravels. In this cosmic clash of truth vs. distortion, every glimmer, glitch, and gift points to one eternal question: whose power do you follow?
Dirk the Duppy
Character Synopsis
Dirk the Duppy’s transformation from cursed outlaw to reluctant hero captures the redemptive core of CrossoverWorld’s deeper narrative. Once a gang-affiliated duppy wandering in guilt and exile, Dirk’s encounter with the Advocate redirected his path toward justice. His unlikely partnership with Caramel and Manny sets him on a mission to dismantle the Final Boss’s regime—one step at a time, one redeemed soul at a time.
Backstory
Originally a human from the Humundum (Earth), Derrick Davis stumbled through a glimmer—a crack in the Unseen-Wall—and crossed into CrossoverWorld, like so many unsuspecting humans we’ve read about in fantasy stories before him. But unlike those tales, Derrick’s journey took a darker turn. He was tricked into moblification and modded into a duppy by the combined efforts of the GlitchWitch Jezel and the Ultraveridicist Dr. Caecilius Cleric, both working under their master, The Final Boss.
Stripped of his humanity and cursed with uncanny powers, he was renamed Dirk the Duppy.
Wandering the grimy streets of Gremburgh, Dirk fell into petty crime until a gang leader noticed his abilities and recruited him into a moblin gang known as the Boogieman Squad. During a robbery at a Slumberview convenience store, Dirk was betrayed by one of his own and left behind to face the Dominion Police alone. On the run, Dirk escaped into the Lumina Forest, where he encountered Him—the living embodiment of the Founder’s will—and everything changed.
Radically transformed by the encounter, Dirk turned himself in, served his time, and reentered society under the quiet mentorship of Maddix the Handyman, a former Avatoon and owner of the very convenience store Dirk once tried to rob.
Now called into a new kind of adventure, Dirk stands at the edge of destiny—his journey from haunted hoodlum to reluctant hero forming the backbone of the entire CrossoverWorld saga.
**The Source Codex foretells that any Final Boss will fall at the hands of a human from the Humundum. To avoid fulfilling this prophecy, the Antagonist’s agents no longer kill such humans. Instead, they moblify them—turning them into corrupted tools against the Founder Himself.

Princess Caramel
Character Synopsis
Princess Caramel Collins's journey from an ordinary teenager to a pivotal figure in CrossoverWorld's fate highlights her resilience and adaptability. Her alliance with Dirk the Duppy signifies a union of worlds and destinies, setting the stage for epic adventures ahead.
Backstory
Caramel Collins seemed like a typical high-achieving high school girl from Florida—until one day, while playing a mobile game called CrossoverWorld, she accidentally triggered a glimmer, breaching the Unseen-Wall and entering the realm of CrossoverWorld. There, she discovered her true identity as the long-lost heir of the Collindore royal family, rulers of the Enchanted Kingdom—a radiant dominion of talking animals, romance, chivalry, and Founder-given wonder.
Generations earlier, her ancestor Prince Pistachio Collindore fled CrossoverWorld through a glimmer to escape the Antagonist’s forces. Upon arrival in the Humundum, he took the name Peter Collins, settled in obscurity as a bookkeeper, and married a kind-hearted waitress named Mary. Their lineage continued quietly, eventually leading to Caramel.

Gwana
Character Synopsis
Gwana is the adorable wildcard in Dirk’s crew—equal parts pet, child, and ticking time bomb. Abandoned in the woods and rescued by compassion, his journey reflects the unpredictable nature of growing power and the redemptive power of kindness. Though small in stature, Gwana’s loyalty and latent strength make him a formidable ally in the battle to dethrone the Final Boss.
Backstory
Gwana is a young Kawaiju—part-cute companion, part-cataclysm-in-waiting. Originally kept as an exotic pet by a wealthy owner in Nexum, he was abandoned in the depths of Lumina Forest when signs of impending metamorphosis began to manifest. His wailing drew the attention of Dirk, Princess Caramel, and Tailynn Streamer during their early travels. Caramel, moved by compassion, fed the creature and formed a near-instant bond.
Startled by Dirk’s initial touch, the little creature croaked “Gwana!”—and the name stuck. While Tailynn protested keeping a mutating Kawaiju, she conceded on the condition that he wear a magically-reinforced collar capable of suppressing transformation—at least temporarily.
Gwana was adopted into the team, forming a sibling-like rivalry with Dirk and a fiercely loyal bond with Caramel. Though he acts like a playful toddler, Gwana’s potential is colossal—literally. When stressed or endangered, he can temporarily override Tailynn’s collar, becoming a monstrous and more dangerous form known as Gwanasaur.

Mythicman
Character Synopsis
Mythicman embodies the golden age of CrossoverWorld’s heroism—a towering champion once lost to time and treachery. His return from shame and exile to stand once more for the Founder rekindles hope for a world sliding into shadow. As a living legend and bearer of the Silver Shofar, his alliance with the new generation of heroes marks a mythic resurgence against the Final Boss’s dominion.
Backstory
August Adams was once a humble Slumberfolk gardener from the sleepy town of Slumberview—a dwarven-like people known more for pipe smoke and pastures than heroism. That changed the day he encountered Him, the Good Shepherd, who entrusted August with a legendary artifact: the Silver Shofar.
When blown, the shofar transforms him into Mythicman, a towering, silver-caped titan of virtue—the Founder’s CrossoverChampion. He answered the call and relocated to Cape Adventura, the vibrant metropolis of Nexum, becoming a beacon of justice, hope, and heroism. During his golden era, Mythicman was a tireless protector: rescuing civilians, mentoring young heroes, and upholding the moral codes of the Source Codex. His legend grew until he was named President of the Paragon Guild, the highest honor among CrossoverChampions.
But as Nexum fell under the political control of the Final Boss, the tide turned. The Final Boss—now Governor—began reshaping the meta-environment, corrupting the Paragon Guild. a once righteous institution, by silencing righteous champions and promoting those loyal to the Antagonist's corrupted cause.
Fearing the mythic might of Mythicman, the Final Boss enlisted GlitchWitch Jezel to seduce August while disguised as a damsel. Her kiss exposed him to a corrupting miasma, infecting his Mythicform with a dementia-like curse. Shamed and deteriorating, broken in body and spirit, August fled back to Slumberview, hoping to vanish into obscurity and punish himself with a self-imposed exile.
But with the arrival of Princess Caramel, Tailynn Streamer, and a reformed duppy Dirk, hope stirred once again. When Dirk and Tailynn came seeking the legendary hero, they were met by an elderly groundskeeper who muttered, “He is not here. The Mythicman died long ago.” Moved by Dirk’s resolve and Caramel’s destiny, August blew the Silver Shofar once more—Mythicman had returned.

Manny the Missionary
Character Synopsis
Manny the Missionary’s quiet strength lies not in combat, but in conviction. Guided by faith, wisdom, and the CrossoverKey, this scholarly manatee provides moral compass and practical support to the rising resistance. His decision to join Dirk’s quest after a divinely timed encounter in Fuanaville reveals his destined role as a steadfast helper and interdominional guide in the coming clash between light and corruption.
Backstory
Manny the Missionary is a beloved, soft-spoken Faunafolk with a heart as wide as the sea and a purpose shaped by the will of Him, the Good Shepherd. Born and raised in the peaceful town of Fuanaville, Manny grew up steeped in the values of care, kindness, and contemplative faith. A gifted guide and seeker of truth, he joined a band of traveling missionaries and journeyed far across CrossoverWorld, offering practical aid and spiritual insight to those in need.
At the center of his story is the CrossoverKey—a mysterious and sacred artifact entrusted to him during his travels. This key grants him the ability to locate and open CrossoverDoors—dimensional passageways connecting distant corners of the world, and possibly beyond. Though burdened with this responsibility, Manny quietly longed for greater clarity about his role in the Founder's grand design.
After a long mission in Barsoon, Manny returned to Fuanaville weary, inwardly restless, and figuratively directionless. One evening, he fell to his knees and prayed to Him, asking for guidance. The very next day, he encountered Dirk the Duppy at a local food stand. Dirk—now a repentant duppy seeking redemption—shared his plan to confront the Final Boss and asked Manny to join him and Princess Caramel on their dangerous mission. Moved by Dirk’s sincerity and inspired by the living hope Caramel represented—not just her faith, but the fulfillment of ancient prophecy—Manny agreed.
Though hesitant at first, Manny discerned that his true calling was not to fight on the frontlines but to support the heroes in ways that no warrior could: by providing guidance, faith, healing, and access to the unseen pathways of the world. A vital and steadfast companion, Manny now walks in obedience to the Advocate, committed to serving the mission not with fists, but with faith.
