This planet is dark and cold most of the time. It is very mountainous. It rains almost all day. Because of the wet, dark conditions, the only plants that grow well are are small mosses and fungi. Animals on this planet include a type of nocturnal hunting cat, and a variety of insects and reptiles. To this day, it remains unexplored.

This planet is dry and hot. Most of this planet is flatlands and mountains. The surface lacks large amounts of water, but in the caves underneath water can be found in average amounts. Most of the world is covered in barren desert, but there is a few specific areas that have been terramorphed to fit the climate and living conditions of some of the things on this planet, hinting intelligent life.
 
−
Some of the plants that grow on the surface get lucky, and can tap the water and eventually grow into trees so large they can actually fit villages in them. Other plants are small and fairly dry, but are still easily enjoyable and edible. Special birds who roost on the mountain ranges, a sand-colored spitting lizard and a kind of rat inhabit this planet. It's well known that there is humanoids living on the planet, but what remains a mystery.

This planet is tropical:wet and hot. Most of this planet is rainforest, but it is possible to find some patches of sand in certain areas. This planet is entirely flat, the only things that come out of the ground are plants. Water collects in pools and lakes that never get empty along the year. A rare species of plant lives here, with thorny spikes so poisonous it can spell instant death to those who stalk the land. Vegitation is plentiful, and includes leaves, fruits, and nuts. Animals include carnivorous snakes, varieties of insects, monkeys, fish and birds, as well as black-red foxes that seem to be experts at cracking nuts and swimming. If any people live here, they have to live in tribes or sects near either the deserts or near the groves that lack trees.

*Try not to add too many universes we haven't gone through yet. Some, like D&D and Death Note, are unvisited. That is my fault for overlooking them. However, some such as Power Rangers are flat-out unnecessary. I apologize for the slow pace. I also try to have Noxigar revisit some of the universes already looked at, simply because that keeps the idea for new universes to the protagonists so the entire plot isn't completely one-sided.

I thought it would be neat if Listless (And in extension, Townindale)had an incredibly ambiguous position on the world map. Just like how Springfield is in the Simpsons, I think it would be fun if we just.. totally shook things up, making the existence of Listless completely impossible in real life.
 +
 
 +
For example, it's ambiguous geographical location makes it so that all the major cities in America are only a few hours away when it comes to driving. Like, a journey from Listless to New York City wouldn't take much time at all, same with all the other major cities, like Seattle, Las Angeles, Miami, and Houston.
 +
 
 +
It's also a short drive away from Hawaii and Alaska, despite the geographical impossibilities of that too. And of course, the entire state borders both Canada and Mexico too.
 +
 
 +
Every single geographical terrain in America exists in this state too, from hot deserts, to foresty areas, to the coldest tundras, hell, on the coast, it has properties of the tropical Hawaiian islands.
