Daria Multiverse

The Daria Multiverse is an artificial designation created by CINCGREEN that encompasses not only canon Daria episodes but all other Daria fanfiction universes as well, when those alternate realities explored in Daria fanfiction diverge significantly from what is considered canon Daria.

These universes are designated by a numerical combination (and, only rarely, letters) in the format "Daria-XXX," where XXX is a distinctive number. Since there is no way to automatically designate numbers, the method of assigning numbers is inspired by the late Marvel Comics editor Mark Gruenwald. In Marvel Universe cosmology, the "number" of a universe is determined by the number of a comic book where that universe made its first appearance, or is heavily influenced by that book. The number might also relate to an important date or fact about that alternate reality.

Definition of Terms
Per Marvel Comics, some terms must be clarified in order to make sense of the linkage between universes. Much of the text that follows is taken from Marvel's website.

Multiverse: a group of similar or related realities, usually sharing certain characters or entities. The Daria Multiverse is that set of realities based upon the TV series Daria.

Megaverse: a large cluster of realities, usually including multiverses, considered in some way "close" to one another, thus making travel between them somewhat easier than between realities not within the same megaverse. The Daria Multiverse and the Beavis and Butt-head Multiverse are within the same megaverse of MTV-aired animated shows that shared characters. By this definition, the multiverse of the MTV cartoon The Head is also part of this megaverse, as Butt-head appears in it.

Omniverse: Every reality imaginable, including those created, published, trademarked, or copyrighted by other companies or individuals, covering every fandom.

Number of Universes in the Daria Multiverse
We assume that the Daria Multiverse is a simple subset of the Omniverse, as there may be universes that don't have Daria. However, we will assume that all worthwhile universes have Daria, since, well, Daria's so cool.

The number of universes is of a higher order of infinity than the integers &alefsym;0, pronounced &ldquo;Aleph-Naught&rdquo;, provided that each universe has a finite amount of matter in it. By the same mathematical construction that proves that the real numbers have higher cardinality than the integers, if the number of Daria universes were "countable," a new universe could be easily constructed which is not in the list. Therefore, the "number" of Daria universes is at least C, the cardinality of the real numbers.

However, with the existence of organizations like DELPHI, The Agency and the Corps of Ringbearers, the real possibility of cross-universe contamination exists. (See Daria-12 and Daria-13 as universes.) Therefore, it is more likely that the "number" of Daria universes is 2C, or &alefsym;1, &ldquo;Aleph-One.&rdquo;

This is a number as uncountable as the set of all possible subsets of the real numbers. Integers are used to designate individual universes for ease of comprehension.

Designations
Daria-Prime: The universe in which we, the viewers of Daria, exist as we view the original, canon broadcasts of the MTV television show. As Wikipedia defines the term: Earth Prime (or Earth-Prime) is a term sometimes used in works of speculative fiction involving parallel universes or a multiverse, and refers either to the universe containing "our" Earth, or to a parallel world with a bare minimum of divergence points from Earth as we know it.

Daria-0: The universe of Erin Mills' fic "Last Night In Lawndale." The designation 0 is selected as the world ends at the end of this story, with none of the existing Daria cast surviving, meaning that this particular Earth effectively no longer exists.

Daria-2: The universe of Ronin's fic Lawndale Marmalade. Lady Marmalade, the song this songfic was inspired by, was only the second song in Billboard chart history to chart at #1 without being released in a major commercially available single format such as a CD or CD maxi single.

Daria-3: The universe created by Angelinhel as an entry in the PPMB thread IRON CHEF: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. The universe details a world ravaged by a virus known as "The Sickness" which was released during the events of the movie, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The universe gets its designation because there were three bullets left in the gun mentioned in the beginning of the story.

Daria-4: The universe of legendeld's "Esteem Roller." During chapter six Daria is revealed to have been subjected to four months of brainwashing at her previous school before she broke.

Daria-5: The universe of Crusading Saint's "You Only Hurt..." and "The Ones You Love." At the end of "The Ones You Love," Helen tells Jake to meet her upstairs, in their bedroom, in five minutes. NOTE: ''In this universe, both an unidentified organization and the covert U.S. agency known as DELPHI have access to technology that allows them to monitor, track and engage in trans-dimensional travel across other universes. It is possible that other AU-variants of DELPHI may have acquired the technology from them, such as the variants in Daria-387 and -247. (This supposition is supported by events chronicled in the fics "A Little Vacation" and "The Cynic and The Defender.")''

Daria-7: The universe of Dennis' Iron Chef-based serial "Turnabout Confusion." The bet made between Daria and Quinn is "to act and dress like the other for one week," or seven days.

Much as per the story "Illusions," it is strongly hinted that the gateway in this universe is of alien origin. The number "12" stems from the fact that Darius and John have, at the beginning of the fic, already traveled through the gateway to twelve different realities.

Daria-13: The universe that Darius Morgendorffer, John Lane, and Tom Sloane (of the Daria-12 universe) journey to from their own. It is notable in that the three traveled back at least 25-30 years into the past of this reality, and that the three interacted with other-dimensional counterparts of their parents. The number comes from the fact that this is the thirteenth universe to which they have traveled.

Daria-15: The universe of Ostragoth's "Behind Enemy Lines." While aboard The Habitat, Franklin Davers finds out that the Slaver Mantoids start using human females designated for their breeding program to birth children at age fifteen.

The number "101" derives from the episode number of the first story, "Esteemsters."

This reality is unusual in that appritions, poltergeists and other related spiritual occurences are the primary form of supernatural activities experienced on this world.

Due to a extradimensional incident which released zombie elements upon this Earth, the inhabitants sealed themselves off from the rest of the Daria Multiverse, but not before developing the Ring 'altech' and dispatching it to other worlds throughout the D.M. as a manner of defending themselves from other supernatural/otherworldly threats.

Having used that tech to discover other alternate Earths for conquest and realizing that the forces of D-476 could constitute a severe threat, they commenced building technology to rival them. They eventually came into conflict with the Ringmasters, and after being wiped out in a final battle with the a force of Ringbearers this Earth somehow disappeared from interdimensional contact until the events chronicled in Tales of the Ringbearers: Artifact by Legendeld.

Locations of Special Notice in the Daria Multiverse
The Cafe: While not actually a Daria universe, per se, the Cafe appears to be a pocket universe of its own, populated by those stranded away from their own realities, and those unable to travel from reality to reality at will. It is included here as the red-cloaked Daria Morgendorffer calling herself Judith was seen to have begun her career in this place, in Erin Mills' fic of the same name.

The Fourth Floor of Old Stanley's: While Old Stanley's technically exists in the universe of Daria-247, the nature of the building classifies it as an artificially constructed multiversal facility built to contain (and on the site of) a trans-temporal/spatial interdimensional nexus point which occurred naturally (such as points in the Devil's Sea and the Bermuda Triangle), but was located and stabilized as part of the construction of the hotel. The Fourth Floor is the specific stabilization point for the nexus' physical manifestation in this reality, which appears to the unaided eye as a giant lake; because of the nature of space/time around the Nexus, the Fourth Floor acts as a tesseract, allowing near-infinite commercial and residential space. In addition, the Fourth Floor acts as a way station for interdimensional, extraterrestrial and trans-temporal travelers who use gateways for their traveling purposes, and for persons who just wish to travel around the Earth.

The Self-Esteem Classroom: It was established in Legion of Lawndale Heroes that the meeting of Daria and Jane was an event of such magnitude that the place where they first met - the classroom at Lawndale High School - has become a fixed interdimensional nexus from which access can be achieved to and from many universes. Danielle Todds used this nexus to travel to D-247 undetected in order to retrieve the Soul Crystal from the Legion Tower in that reality.

The Pi Rho Omega Sorority House: As shown in the fic Spirit Stick, this three-story structure appears to possess a quality whereas each area (that can be specifically considered to be an enclosed area of its own volition) is actually in a differing temporal (and in some case, even spatial and/or temporal) location than the outside world. The extent of, and reasons behind, this occurrence is currently unknown.

SCR-001: A universe outside of the Daria Multiverse used by The Agency as a sector headquarters and training base. In included in the headquarters complex it The Laboratory which is the base of operations for the hyperspace supervisor, Richard, in the story, Three. It is also the home of Jake and Helen rescued from D-1108 during the events of "Recruitment Day"
