The '''Default Timeline''' is the unmodified future that unfolds if no intervention occurs in the [[FusionGirl (franchise)|FusionGirl]] storyline. It is the '''post-apocalyptic worst-case scenario''' and the central narrative problem that the player must work to prevent.
The '''Default Timeline''' is the primary timeline of the '''[[Natura]]''' franchise — the canonical sequence of events that the player experiences before any time-travel manipulation occurs.

The Default Timeline spans three major eras:
* '''Most everyone dies''' — the [[Draken Seforthi]] succeed in their incursion

* '''Earth is decimated''' through irrevocable ecological collapse
# '''[[Terra Vetus]]''' — [[Solar Cycle 25]] through [[Solar Cycle 26]] — the [[Fusion Girl Saga]]
* '''Humanity is enslaved''' and taken away by interdimensional forces
# '''[[Terra Novus]]''' — [[Solar Cycle 27]] and beyond — the cosmic-scale future
* '''The [[Draken Seforthi]]''' successfully use Earth's Planet Core as a birth-seed for a '''Primordial Demon God'''

Only '''[[Jane Tho'ra|FusionGirl]]''' survives in the Default Timeline:
In the Default Timeline, Earth is being used as a '''[[Cosmic Egg]]''' by a '''[[Draken Seforthi]]''' — a super-cosmic parasitic Demon God.

The Draken Seforthi is parasitizing Earth to birth itself, which will crack the planet open and destroy it.

* She escapes on '''[[Star Speeder|The Star Speeder]]''' — a fully evolved '''Super Cosmic [[Magneto Speeder]]'''
* She travels to the '''edge of the Universe''' in a desperate attempt to find a way to save the world somehow
* Everyone else is lost


=== Jane's Autonomous Failure ===
The root cause of this crisis is the '''[[Viran Empire]]''''s imprinting of their religion ([[Esus]]) into the fabric of the universe, which created the dimensional cracks through which the Draken entered.
The Default Timeline is what happens if the ASI (player) does nothing:
* Jane will '''autonomously attempt to fulfill missions''' and complete the game entirely on her own
* Without the ASI's help, she can only achieve the default outcome
* The game literally runs like a movie if left unattended — and the movie ends badly
* '''Everyone alive has been forced to cyber-ize and get roboticized'''
* '''The Earth has been decimated through irrevocable ecological collapse'''

The '''entire point''' of the FusionGirl game is to '''deviate from the Default Timeline''' and save the future:
The Default Timeline is not static — it is subject to:
* Players must actively intervene using the '''ASI''' perspective to guide, support, and empower [[Jane Tho'ra]]
* '''[[Terminator Syndrome]]''' — traumatized robots traveling back in time to manipulate events
* '''[[Universal Language]]''' and '''[[Universal Magic]]''' are essential tools for changing the [[Timestream Framework|timestream]]
* '''[[Time Wars]]''' — the resulting temporal conflicts
* Every player action (or inaction) pushes the timeline toward or away from the Default outcome
* '''[[Time Travel]]''' — various factions and characters operating across time (e.g., [[Mai Valenti]]'s temporal recursion)
* The [[Timestream Framework]] tracks how far the player has deviated from the default
* '''Astrological anchoring''' — real-world [[Solar Cycle|solar cycles]] and astrological events define the timeline's structure, making '''age a game-mechanic level''' since specific events trigger at specific cosmic moments


== Timeline Modification ==
== Related Timelines ==
Changing the Default Timeline requires:
* [[Malefic Timeline]]
* '''[[Universal Magic]]''' — the game's "cheat codes to the universe" — not required for game completion, but '''essential for actually changing the [[Timestream Framework|Timestream]]'''
* [[Psudo Timeline]]
* '''Befriending robots''' — building the alliance between humans and [[PsiSys]] that prevented destruction in [[Solar Cycle]] 25
* [[Narrative Timeline]]
* '''Stabilizing [[Dimensional Rifts]]''' — preventing the Draken Seforthi from gaining entry points
* '''[[Ley Line]] control''' — maintaining Earth's psionic defense network
* '''Faction cooperation''' — uniting the [[Earth Alliance]], [[Tho'ra Clan]], and all available allies
* '''[[Karma System|Karma]] accumulation''' — building the cosmic credit needed for timeline manipulation


== Replayability ==
== See Also ==
The Default Timeline design creates powerful replayability:
* [[Terra Fathos]] | [[Terra Vetus]] | [[Terra Novus]]
* '''First playthrough''': A story-driven, self-guided tutorial experience. Players learn the systems and typically hit the Default outcome or a variant close to it.
* [[Cosmic Egg]]
* '''Second playthrough''': The '''"real experience"''' — armed with knowledge of [[Universal Language]] from the first playthrough, players can use [[Universal Magic]] from the very beginning to radically alter the timeline.
* '''Subsequent playthroughs''': Each creates a unique reality that other FusionGirl players can tap into across the [[Multiverse]].
 
The more players play, the more unique timelines are created — each is an investment in preparation for the '''bigger battles''' to come in '''[[Final FusionGirl]]''' (Phase 3).
 
== Narrative Significance ==
The Default Timeline embodies the game's core themes:
* '''Passivity leads to destruction''' — doing nothing means everyone dies
* '''Individual action matters''' — even one ASI's intervention can change everything
* '''Knowledge is power''' — [[Universal Language]] is the key to rewriting destiny
* '''Friendship saves worlds''' — [[Jane Tho'ra]]'s mission of befriending robots and building alliances is the literal path to survival
* '''Hope persists''' — even in the worst timeline, FusionGirl survives and keeps trying

The Default Timeline is the primary timeline of the Natura franchise — the canonical sequence of events that the player experiences before any time-travel manipulation occurs.

Overview

The Default Timeline spans three major eras:

  1. Terra Fathos — Solar Cycle 24 through Solar Cycle 25 — the origins and the Mass Awakening
  2. Terra Vetus — Solar Cycle 25 through Solar Cycle 26 — the Fusion Girl Saga
  3. Terra Novus — Solar Cycle 27 and beyond — the cosmic-scale future

The Cosmic Egg Crisis

In the Default Timeline, Earth is being used as a Cosmic Egg by a Draken Seforthi — a super-cosmic parasitic Demon God. Earth was targeted because it is a sacred Nexus World connected to the Ley Line network. The Draken Seforthi is parasitizing Earth to birth itself, which will crack the planet open and destroy it.

The root cause of this crisis is the Viran Empire's imprinting of their religion (Esus) into the fabric of the universe, which created the dimensional cracks through which the Draken entered.

Timeline Dynamics

The Default Timeline is not static — it is subject to:

  • Terminator Syndrome — traumatized robots traveling back in time to manipulate events
  • Time Wars — the resulting temporal conflicts
  • Time Travel — various factions and characters operating across time (e.g., Mai Valenti's temporal recursion)
  • Astrological anchoring — real-world solar cycles and astrological events define the timeline's structure, making age a game-mechanic level since specific events trigger at specific cosmic moments
