a series of AUs where it's basically just Balance in different Mods. inspired by different Balancer Productions streams that features Box playing mods, ofc. more specifically whenever he uses the Balance skin.

this series of AUs are also used in a Crossover between them & canon LotB(It's Still You). ah'll put it in another chapter lmao.

CrazyCraft
inspired by CrazyCraft is High. note that ah have little idea of what this mod is like, so feel free to throw info at me or make fun of me lmao

now, before ah start this version of Balance(who is named Lumi here, but ah'll explain it later), let me explain what is heavily changed here.

first of all, Brine & Sasha is safe. they're alive, and they're great teachers :3

second of all, the Celestials are all dead.

basically, Aether & Cinder never left to find their Creator due to them knowing that the Celestials need them and they all have a job to do.

unfortunately, Psychotic was still planted. fortunately, the Celestials figured out something was wrong before he could do any harm, and so, they fought. which ended in all them of fuckin' (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧ dyin'

so uhm.. the Creators had to fend for themselves. so, they attempted to make the Balancers to help, and after that was a bust(gen1 dying & gen2 having to be killed), they went to find someone to teach. to help. and that was ss!Light.
and so, PoaL happens.

in this universe, Light fused with both Unknown Alex & Steve to make sure that they're powerful enough to take down Empty. surprise surprise, Empty dies close to immediately and Balance ended up being yoinked back by the Creators.

to make sure gen3 doesn't end up like gen2, Balance was basically put in another universe to be teached about his abilities, & Creator Energy :3

Bally is livin' like a Queen here frfr

⠀
yippee!!! okay now their new names & designs. their names are all still the same, these are just their nicknames. & the designs are all just concepts at the moment;;

Balance: Lumi, nicknamed Pure (shortened for Luminous & Pure Light)

Notch: C (Creation)

Jeb: Life

Dinnerbone: Sci (Science)

Brine: Abyss

Sasha: Blood

andd some facts!!

- the Creators & Lumi are very playful. they love messin' around with eachother and the world around them. it's all harmless, of course.

- the Celestials are a sore topic, but they would be grateful to be able to tell you what they were like before they went poof. the mood will definitely be down for a bit though, lmao.

- Lumi goes on power trips sometimes. Brine is normally there to calm them down from it though. ah wonder where he got that from.. *cough cough* unknown stev e *c ou gh*

- Lumi is as chaotic as expected.

- Lumi coughs up ichor(basically gold god blood) whenever he gets super stressed. this happens because of him fusing with 2 unknown beings, so the power is kinda.. overflowin'.

- this also causes his powers to be... a little unstable.

- the Creators all may or may not be Horrors beyond Steve Comprehension in constant disguise. yes they're very aware, yes they always make sure they're somewhat comprehensive.

- the Creators had to somewhat take some of the Celestials places. so uh. something something parallels.

- Lumi's wings (& tail[?]) often shows up when using a lot of Creator Energy, to intimate, or simply want to. which will cause a lot of light to emite from him. more then he already has. may or may not be blindingly bright to a sinful's eyes.

- Creation's eye rings only appear when he's.. well, need or want to do something "important" or "persuade" someone. which basically causes immense dread or shame in someone so much that they physically cannot lie. the more sins they've committed, the more extreme they feel.

- Life's whole tree coming out of his head & having things grow on him appear only when he lets it. it helps him tap into the nature of the world more easier, even more then he already does. it also helps him see the general lifespan of basically anything, and affact it.

- Sci's bird mask helps him know basically everything about any being he chooses. you have a secret? not anymore! sure he doesn't need to use it to do so, none of them do, but it's much more fun to have it be physical.

- Sci also has a lot of holograms. they're basically always around him, rarely ever gone. something something he likes reading about things.

- Abyss's rock/stone thingy that grows on half of his face show up whenever he wants it to. whenever faced with someone, it'll turn into a rock-like material that fits that person's personality(diamond, gold, obsidian, etc). when alone, it'll show up as a white crystal that only reflects colors & light, and turn into a blank state whenever we(the viewers) are around.

- Blood's face turns into a shadow with red eyes & a red smile(chara style) whenever she wants it to, or to intimidate. although she doesn't need to, she often uses it whenever she needs to rid of something, and have it & its influence be forgotten forever by the mortal realm.

- CrazyCraft doesn't actually have many people in it, or Steves. so for the most part, without the Creators, Lumi is alone with only Bally as company. so when he meets anyone sentient.. he gets. a little excited.

- Bally gets dressed up a lot :]
often by Blood. Lumi encourages her.

- yes, the Creators are self-aware, for Lumi, somewhat. they haven't told him everything yet due to him not being ready. mentally, at least. he still struggles with controlling his powers, after all.

- and yes, them & Lumi are aware of Us. Lumi is aware of us as Sky People, while the Creators are aware of Us as viewers. people who follow beings around with the most interesting story or world, often being in the middle of it, on the sidelines.
we are untouchable, and they know that.

- Life can, in fact, communicate with nature. but since it's CrazyCraft, it's the most bizarre mix of words in a sentence,, or not words at all.
"I am the Earth itself, I speak for the trees. and for some reason, they're all speaking in Vietnamese." /reference

⠀
RLCraft
inspired by the RLCraft streams.

something something when Herobrine killed Balance, the Creators yoinked him back immediately and it ended up uh.. causing some damages.

basically, Balance's memories got ✧.*destroyed*⁠.⁠✧, and the Creators panicked. heavily. so, they threw him in a random universe so that he'll be safe and basically forced themselves to not meet him face to face. so that something like that doesn't happen again.

soo, memoryless Balance wakes up in RLCraft. things happens.

Bally is still there ofc. expect she is forbiddened to talk about anything before this universe, so she kinda just. has to talk to Balance like the Creators' vaguely exists.

⠀
okay character time. designs are currently concepts, not final;;

Balance: BBox

Notch: the Sun

Jeb: the Earth

Dinnerbone: the Sky

- BBox didn't have all of his memories destroyed, but what's left is heavily distorted. he often remembers things in a heavy blur and often or not forget in the next hour/minute.

- BBox chose his name by looking at what he had at the time, which was 2 boxes. Bally kept her name because he remembered hers quite clearly.

- the Creators kinda.. broke?? when they heavily messed up BBox by accident. like mentioned before, they don't show themselves to him anymore due to the shame & guilt. and that.. kinda messed up their appearance.

- the Creators whole appearance ended up completely distorted. they lost their features and ended up being the vague shape of what they are, letting themselves be the color of their energy due to them being too unstable to make up their colors back.

- BBox doesn't really remember the Creators, like ah've mentioned with his whole memory thing, but he remembers what they were like. somewhat. he doesn't remember their names, but he remembers what they're like.

- he basically sees the Creators as his Gods. he remembers them teaching him things beyond what he views as worldly, even if he doesn't remember it. that has to mean they're above him, right? that he views them as something higher?

- yes he made a temple for them. there's like, an altar for each of them. he makes offerings often & stay there sometimes. his offerings are often food or things like so that he could be able to give.

- the Creators respond to this as the world around him. the sun being around for too long, the clouds moving away when the crops need light, the trees growing faster then normal, all of that.

- he fully believes in the Creators, Bally helps feed into it.

- BBox is half convinced that he's insane. like, he hears Bally speak. and she does, but since nothing ever seems to acknowledge that about her, he's convinced that it's just him.
Bally couldn't convince him otherwise.

- Bally is constantly armoured due to how dangerous the world is, she doesn't complain.

- BBox can respawn. it's... not fun, but he doesn't feel too much about it. it has happen before, even if he doesn't remember it, so this is just. Normal now.

- so whenever he dies, he's. kinda desensitized to it. he sometimes stay in his bed(respawn point) and just lay with Bally for awhile, but that rarely happens now.

- he also doesn't have any powers expect for him constantly emitting light.

- yes he kept the other dog, he named the other one "Luke." Bally bullies it on occasion due to it not being sentient like her. something something she feels heavily offended by its existence.

- he doesn't eat much. he tries, he really does, but often time he ends up giving most of it to Bally unless he got severely hurt. which, happens often. and when he does, he's shoving it into his mouth & trying not to think about it.
yeah he has problems with food here.

CW: suicide, skip if uncomfortable

- since he can respawn, he does kill himself on purpose whenever it's necessary. when he physically cannot leave or is too injured to keep going, death was a possible escape.
Bally hates it, he doesn't blame her.

From The Fog
inspired by From The Fog streams.

Unknown Steve forcefully fused with Light & bad things happen. Balance was born with the only goal to kill Empty and he does, and immediately get yoinked by the Creators before Unknown Alex could even try & talk to Balance.

Balance remembers ✧.*nothing*⁠.⁠✧, not even his name, due to how unwilling the fusion was, and only remembers the remains of what Unknown Steve & Light felt like. this one is basically just Balance & Second mashed into one. so..

yeah the Creators are angry. and so they Banished Him to a Player World and fuCKIN' ABANDONED HIM. THEY ABANDONED HIM, AND ONLY CHECK IN TO INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY. THESE GUYS ARE ASSHOLES HERE. FU C K.

(something something the Brine incident made them colder.)

the Player World is a From The Fog modpack thingy world, the one you'll see in the streams. and yes, TScott & Flower exist here. something something them finding the Balancer & thinking he's apart of the modpack(he is not).

⠀
designs are currently concepts, not final;;

Balance: Sun (given by TScott due to his glow)

Notch: Gold

Jeb: Green

Dinnerbone: Teal

- Sun firmly believes in there being no higher beings other then the Players(TScott, Flower, Split, etc.). and if there were, they're not benevolent.

- yeah he kinda figured out about the Player thing after Split crashed and disappeared right in front of him. he vaguely remembers what Players are so he kinda chalked it up to Player Nonsense. TScott & Flower made fun of the "meta" part of him for a little bit.

- Players joins the FTF world sometimes. Split, Energy, etc. the most active are TScott & Flower due to them figuring out that Hey, this guy ain't a NPC. WTF How Did He Get Here.

- yeah TScott & Flower are the second main ones who stick around. the main is B0X. Yes He Is Canon Here. it's as weird as you think it is. he's also often or not recording!! y'all get to see him too :]

- he's also the main guy who made the Server, though Energy now mostly maintain it. so he knows A Lot about the Creatures. even the ones he didn't add.
(yoo this one was the one that hit the 2020 word count let's gooo)

- yes he got a Lot of Questions about Sun. No He Doesn't Have An Answer To Any Of Them Lmao. and yes, he fully expected Sun to turn on them and destroy the World from the inside out. he didn't though :D is nice.

- this Box is also the same Box as the Entity B0X AU. so uh. yeah— he's a little used to meeting actual entities that could brick his friends' computer lmao.
also that's why his name, B0X, is Like That.

- yeah the Creators are assholes. motherfuckers. they're gonna catch these fuckin' Hands when ah get my hands on them >:/ bitches.

- even before Light got forcibly fused, they were fuckin' Dicks. like yeah they still taught him, wonderfully in fact, & sent him on missions, but that's about it. they do their jobs, then they leave.

- Bally was kept because they wanted to keep Light in check. they've noticed the isolation is gettin' to him so uh, Wolf.

- Bally isn't in this one though. she's stuck up there with those assholes. she hates it. she wants Light back :[

- TScott & Flower often stays because they're worried. since Sun actually experience time very different from them, he actually could go insane in there. so they stick around so that he'll have a fren. they're nice :D

- B0X visits because he basically lives in Minecraft. so he pops in to hang out with Sun a lot. they get along!! is nice.

- Sun doesn't have any powers other then him constantly glowing. he's a flashlight! unknown to him, it's because his powers are being heavily repressed by the Creators so that he'll have a small fighting chance to survive. sucks on them, because of that, he's now GREAT at combat non-power wise!!

- he doesn't know he had powers. sure he felt like he lost something important when he woke up, but he was waay too business trying Not To Die.

- Sun gets dreams of Light & Unknown Steve quite often. it's mostly from their memories, but sometimes he'll get nightmares from Light. rarely any from Unknown, of course.  no he doesn't know why these dreams are Like That, nor does he know who he was in those dreams. he has a theory that they're him, somewhat, because of the colors, but it's just a theory and no solid evidence.

- this means he also has dreams about the Creators & Bally. he hates the dreams with them. not because he hates them, he doesn't even know why he would, but because of what's left behind from them. a longing for something he doesn't know, betrayal that makes him want to claw at the golden vines on his skin, & just. despair in general.

- fusion is considered a intimate thing here btw, like, you're trust this person so much that you'll become one with them. so uh. yeah basically, Light's not fine.

- Sun respawns just like a Player does. he didn't know it at first, but when he died he sure as fuck Found Out. he was.. more surprised then freaked out. thankfully it was around when the Players found him so he had help, Thank Fuck.

- if he ever gets his powers unrepressed, he'll have his wings & tail back. and his powers! the ability to balance Light & Counter Balancer Energy, whatever Second had.

- yeah like mentioned before, Sun is basically just Balance & Second combined. he's a bit cold & always have violence as an option now, but he'll lay his life down for his friends & even despite all the pain, he's still a Balance.
he's still kind, it's just.. not shown much due to there not being many to show that too.

- Sun still gets to use his Leader skills. granted he doesn't often need to due to the Players normally being able to handle themselves quite well, but it's a gud backup!!

⠀
⠀
andd that's about it!!! for now!! feel free to tell me what you think, brainstorm or give ideas, whatever y'all wanna do. ah'll figure out how to design these bitches at a later point.

holy... 2777+ words......
yeah ah should. disappear. also srry for not bein' that active, school :(
