The Bears: My Childhood Paracosm
About
When I was a kid, I had a fictional story universe that I used to imagine myself in when I played with my toys. The technical term for a world like this is a paracosm. My paracosm has a lot of lore, so much in fact that it can be fairly difficult to try and remember and sort through all of said lore on the fly.
This has inspired me to write many, many, many stories about my paracosm. Some of these stories have been lost or misplaced over the years, while others were published years ago as books that are now no longer available for purchase (blame Amazon). In order to keep the memory of my paracosm alive and to share that memory with you, I have decided to try and make this post a memory dump.
I will try and write down as much as I can about my paracosm in this post. I will set some ground rules though, so that I am not constantly returning to this post and making updates.
Rule #1: I do not plan on ever updating this post after it is published. Any changes, edits, or additions can simply be made into future posts.
Rule #2: I do not plan on spending more than a single day on this post. I have been publishing a post a day, so I have no intention of breaking my streak by spending a week or more on this post.
Rule #3: This post will not be all encompassing. It would be impossible for me to put everything I remember about my paracosm into this single post, so there will certainly be a lot of information left out that can be further elaborated on in future posts.
Rule #4: This post will take liberties with the original story, without necessarily making any huge changes. Any changes made to the original story will be to make sense of some of the odder parts of the story that otherwise would go unexplained.
This blog is normally reserved for AI generated content. This post however won't be AI generated. It might include AI generated art, but the text itself will be coming directly from my memory.
Now without further ado, let's get things started.
Timeline
- Rex (a T-Rex warlock) initiates the war between humans and animals, with the goal of animals enslaving humanity. Both sides quickly realize that they are more or less evenly matched.
- Rex uses magic to create "The Bears", a group of mystically empowered bear soldiers, to help him win the war.
- The Bears turn on Rex and use their power to fight for humans and animals to live together peacefully.
- The land is divided in two. Rex and his shadow ninjas live in Hardville, while humans and animals live together in harmony in Softville.
- One of The Bears (Solar) decides to leave the team and start a new life in a new land (Greenville).
- The remaining members of The Bears are adopted by Dr. Bear, a genius scientist (who also happens to be a bear) who lives in the tallest tower in Softville.
- Dr. Bear's oldest adoptive son, Roo (a kangaroo), is hurt during a battle against Rex and is given cybernetic legs to help him walk again. Roo demonstrates his incredible leadership skills and becomes the leader of the The Bears.
- The Bears befriend a young kid named Damon, who wishes to one day become a hero just like them.
- The elementals that light Softville go rogue, and The Bears are mobilized to stop them from tearing apart the land.
- A climactic battle between The Bears and Rex leads to the elementals breaking free and Softville being burned down. The Bears and Rex being seriously injured, the shadow ninjas going rogue, and many of the people of Softville are temporarily relocated to a new land (Emerald Landing) while the city is rebuilt using more futuristic technology.
- Damon's family stays in Softville to help with the city's reconstruction. Elemental energy left behind after the great battle forms into a dragon spirit. In need of a host, this dragon spirit merges with Damon. Damon decides to use his newfound powers to protect Softville during the reconstruction period, until The Bears return.
- Damon slowly learns how to use his powers, as he fights to protect Softville from warring factions of the now divided shadow ninjas who are fighting for control of the city.
- Rex during this period is recovering from the great battle, using a few loyal shadow ninjas soldiers to take futuristic technology from the reconstruction of Softville to use to build new cybernetic limbs to repair his broken body.
- While The Bears are recovering from their injuries, Dr. Bear creates two androids (Android Red & Android Blue) to protect Emerald Landing.
- Emerald Landing is invaded by Rainbow Slimes (Interdimensional symbiotes), who threaten to assimilate and brainwash the populace of Emerald Landing. The Rainbow Slimes are defeated, but Android Red and Android Blue are both heavily damaged in the process.
- The Bears return to the now rebuilt, futuristic Neo-Softville.
- Cyber Rex (Rex with his new cybernetic appendages) defeats the leaders of the shadow ninja factions, and once again becomes the singular leader of the shadow ninjas.
- Damon joins The Bears and takes on the heroic identity of Blue Bolt.
- Solar returns to Neo-Softville alongside a group of super-mercenaries, to call upon the help of The Bears to stop an alien invasion from taking over the world. Cyber Rex reluctantly forms a temporary alliance with The Bears to help fight off the alien threat.
- The aliens are defeated, but Cyber Rex claims the prize they were after (a long lost magical artifact known as the Hourglass Of Time). Cyber Rex uses the artifact to travel back in time and win the war between animals and humans using his incredible cybernetics. The Bears follow Cyber Rex through the time portal, leading to several misadventures across the timeline that ultimately results in the creation of a closed time loop.
