Setting (Ownage)

Crude Timeline:
~25 billion BCE

• The demiurge's universe comes into being
• So does the demiurge with it.

~14 billion BCE

• 'Soul-cancer' takes place
• The demiurge splits off the affected portions of itself, shatters the new soul, and strips itself of most of what was being consumed. Earth's oversoul-to-be cannot be dealt with this way. Perhapsa it was the core consume-y bit, or maybe it was trying to consume the demiurge's consciousness, 'divine spark', or whatever.
• The demiurge seals off Earth's oversoul, preventing it from expanding or producing awakened being naturally.
• The big bangs occur.

Between ~14 billion CE and 2000 CE

• Ananke, Thesis, and Khronos come into being and begin their respective rises to power.
• Universes begin being linked, gateways being opened by extremely potent beings from the respective worlds.
• Thesis becomes unable to support itself. Its physical body dies, but its soul remains undying and anchored to the physical remains.
• Khronos moderates his gain in power, reaching a 'ceiling', of sorts.
• Ananke is disatisfied with the paths pursued by both the others, and goes into hibernation while slowly amassing power.
• Things continue!

Timeline after that:

• Various high-end demons take notice of Earth. Their awareness of it had been limited at best in the past due to the shield around it, but the rising potency of souls or whatever gets their attention.
• Demons 'rapture' away a couple hundred thousand people
