Character Development- About Limbo

Heres a bit about limbo that I forgot to publish last term because I left it on draft... not a good idea.



As I said in my character development plan, my avatar Violet is from Limbo, so here's a bit of information about the place.

About Limbo:


The defintiton of limbo- the internet version

1. often Limbo Roman Catholic Church The abode of unbaptized but innocent or righteous souls, as those of infants or virtuous individuals who lived before the coming of Christ.
2. A region or condition of oblivion or neglect: Management kept her promotion in limbo for months.
3. A state or place of confinement.
4. An intermediate place or state.


Word History: Our use of the word limbo to refer to states of oblivion, confinement, or transition is derived from the theological sense of Limbo as a place where souls remain that cannot enter heaven, for example, unbaptized infants. Limbo in Roman Catholic theology is located on the border of Hell, which explains the name chosen for it. The Latin word limbus, having meanings such as "an ornamental border to a fringe" and "a band or girdle," was chosen by Christian theologians of the Middle Ages to denote this border region. English borrowed the word limbus directly, but the form that caught on in English, limbo, first recorded in a work composed around 1378, is from the ablative form of limbus, the form that would be used in expressions such as in limb, "in Limbo."



This is how Limbo is seen and defined by the world....

But then there is my version of Limbo, where Violet is from.

Limbo:
Limbo is a set of dimensions where almost all creatures live. It is the land of dreams, and great imagination, but it isn't all happy magic, there are different dimensions Limbo that can be accessed, but mainly by ones species. The majority of Limbo is run and created by the 'Angels' as humans call them.

The different worlds
-The Human
-The Elementals
-Ghosts
-Vampires
-Werewolves
-Shape Shifters
-Witches and Warlocks
-Pixies
-Mermaids
-Dragons
-etc.

Humans aren't allowed to travel from one dimension to another due to an event in history that was wiped from the humans memories.
what happened was that the humans found out about the other dimensions and started creating weapons to take over all of the other dimensions, but the plan failed when the angels found out about it as they didn't allow one species to rule over all.
only some kept the memories of the creatures of the other dimensions, and knowledge of them has been passed down throughout generations.

Angels are like limbos council as they are the creators and the oldest, they also know the most about every dimension while others only know about their dimension, the human one and a few others.

There is only one rule that is greatly enforced, and that is; don't inform the humans that their myths and legends are real.

Thats a little about Limbo, sorry it was posted late, but I left it on draft.
