Kaimuh Recycle

Kaimuh Recycle (formerly known as Repurposement and Fusion Dormitory in its earlier drafts) was a story Al had focus on back around early 2015-16. Its plot centers around the worldbuilding of the Thornverse, along with every other story set in it.

As of current, it's on pause/hiatus/break as the creator has not much motivation or focus to write it at the moment, but there are plans to rewrite it in the 2020s.

About
The story centers around the fictional monarchy Kaimuh, as it centers around it's history of dealing with "monsters from the dark," ever since the early days. As it's still going on now, magic and combat are few of the many mandatory subjects being taught in their many schools. The story then follows the characters as they explore their country's history with these monsters and experience fighting one... And also messing with magic so there's that.

Trivia

 * This is the first story to have its setting be primarily focused on a fictional country, this being the Kingdom of Kaimuh. The second is Outcast Capsule World, taking place in the Republic of Apachon.
 * In fact, every other story set in the Thornverse takes place in a fictional country.
 * Of all the characters in this story, Tofu was the only one to have minimal change to their design throughout the years.
 * The titles Kaimuh Recycle and Repurposement was because these were all old characters that have been "repurposed and recycled" for a new plot. It's very initial title, Fusion Dormitory, was because of Quiche being the main focus.
 * Skip was initially named "Skittle," but was changed because of obvious copyright.
 * In the same vein, Malt was originally named "Maltesers," and Crisp was originally named "Rice Krispies," as a reference to Rice Krispies Treats.
 * This was to initially fit in the "food name theme" Tofu and Quiche were going for.
 * ES-53 never got a "food themed nickname" for themself.
 * Micah's surname was once Gunther, but was changed into Breiner because Al felt it was more convenient.
