Oburron and Jenner paracosm

The Oburron and Jenner paracosm was the characters and lore of BHH used and expanded as a personal paracosm (fantasy world inside someone's head) by Kerry from 2014 to 2016. BHH started between 2012 and 2014 as "the game", primary school imaginative play with Kerry as one of the players, and when he left primary school, he kept its characters and worldbuilding alive and significantly expanded them to create the Oburron and Jenner paracosm. The interpretation of the original lore preserved in the paracosm then formed the basis of the worldbuilding for BHH when it was revived as a shared project in the Acteriendian BHH roleplays. Kerry also heavily adapted large parts of the paracosm to form a semi-canon background lore for the roleplays that he wrote into BHH Wiki without otherwise informing Robert and Cat.

The main characters of the paracosm were Gru Rasu, Ro E'lluna and Ciarraí Evon from "the game", plus the new character Ida Evon. These four collectively comprised the Fourth Army. "Mark Evon" was sometimes an alternative name for Ciarraí and sometimes a distinct character. Other recurring characters included Peria, Abby Sweetwater and Lily Black from "the game"; Keiran, another Lily, Yanvir Malik, and the King of the Slantach, all from specific arcs; and Maya Evon. Most stories were either set in the same era as "the game", in a later era after the Fourth Army was broken up, or were location-specific arcs where Kerry was inspired by the real-life places around him. The worldbuilding of the cycle included a system of at least five parallel worlds, a major conflict between the Evon and Helltunans (The War), a political and not very mysterious Ravensgate, and the idea of the Postgate lands.

Distinctive arcs[edit | edit source]

The paracosm incorporated various story arcs that were not part of its re-interpretation and expansion of BHH proper, each of which included characters specific to those arcs. These were generally not inherited by the Acteriendian BHH roleplays, and so represent a body of characters and lore that is 'distinctve' to the Oburron and Jenner paracosm, rather than simply being an Oburron and Jenner 'version' of something that appears in other versions of BHH. Accordingly, these side stories are known as the paracosm's "distinctive arcs".
