Basics
Dimensions in this series work as alternate universes. Some can be drastically different from one another or almost exactly the same.
Dimension - The 1st dimension, 2nd dimension, 3rd dimension, 4th dimension, and 5th dimension.
Subdimensions - fall under a dimension such as Dimension 2.1 which falls under the 2nd dimension but under the 1st subdimension.
You are able to move up dimensions by building portals or portal devices. It requires an immense amount of energy to power the device that makes these portals.
When someone moves up a dimension their physical form changes to fit the dimension they’re in.
It is unknown if you are able to go down a dimension.
dimensional corruption
Moving up a dimension can cause the subdimension the person is in to corrupt. During corruption the subdimension gets covered in corruption marks that consume what ever touches them.
a subdimension corrupting can spread onto objects inside but objects inside cannot spread onto a subdimension.
frequently switching subdimensions can also cause corruption to person traveling but it can't kill you the first time unless you get stuck in between traveling or if you get corrupted a second time.
someone dying from dimensional corruption will face serve burning pains on their corruption marks as they continue to spread across the body. Once the corruption takes over the person fades away from existence from all dimensions. Since the 4th dimension is time only people who see this person die will remember their existence.
1st Dimension
In the first dimension you are just a dot. You are unable to move at all since there is nowhere to move to begin with. It doesn’t take much energy to leave the first dimension, but you can't really get the energy to get out if you can’t move to get the energy. In order to leave the 1st dimension, someone would have to take you out from a higher dimension. Exists.
2nd Dimension
In the second dimension you are actually able to move. On most subdimensions there is the illusion of depth but on some others there is just a flat plane. There are millions of subdimensions which some details being almost exactly the same or completely different (Almost as an alternate universe). In order to leave the 2nd dimension you need a large amount of energy which is pretty much impossible since you can’t attain that legally in most subdimensions.
3rd Dimension
In the third dimension you are still able to move but you are able to move with real depth instead of the illusion of it. There are not as many subdimensions as the 2nd dimension. Each subdimension looks different but keeps the 3rd dimension in mind. You can make subdimensions for the 2nd dimension. Requires a larger amount of energy to leave as opposed to the 2nd dimension.
4th Dimension
In this dimension it has the same properties as all of the other 3 dimensions but this time adding time. Time is visible in this dimension in a string of events kind of like a timeline coming right off of an object. It is impossible to reach this dimension from any below it. It is unknown if there is any life living in this dimension or even if it is really what it is.
5th Dimension
Nothing is known about this dimension.
