Lore - Multiverse

Introduction
There is a darkness spreading across the multiverse. It reaches out and finds the same constant in every world: Garfield.

It pours the Perfect Darkness through him, manifesting into the grotesque, the unknown. Every willing iteration manifests differently, but all with the same goal: to destroy the other Multiverse Constant: Jon Arbuckle. In some cases, a Garfield will consume enough Darkness to begin traversing the Multiverse in search of another Jon.

But it will always be the same. It has always, and will always, begin with Garfield, Jon Arbuckle, and a Monday. Before each happening will be a flash of darkness, a destroyed world and then everything will return to its normal activity, with the amount of destruction done to the world consistent with how much of the darkness enters the universe.

Classification
All Universes in the Multiverse can be referenced by their unique ID numbers. ID numbers take the form:

J_O_N_-YYMMDD(-X)

Where: For example, the universe from "There's Nothing Left, Jon" would be identified as JAODNE-190523 since:
 * J_ is Jon's status in the Universe. JD for Jon is Dead, JA for Jon is Alive, JE for Jon is Endangered, JH for Jon is the Hero, JI for Jon is Infected, and JX for Jon's Status is Unknown.
 * O_ is Odie's status in the Universe. OD for Odie is Dead, OA for Odie is Alive, OE for Odie is Endangered, OH for Odie is the Hero, OI is for Odie is infected, and OX for Odie's Status is Unknown.
 * N_ is the Nature of Garfield's Ascension.
 * NG is for minimal physical transformation, such as bleeding eyes or black pupils absent of other deformations.
 * NM is for Monstrous transformations, such as those shown in the beginning of the popular "Garfield Gameboy'd" series.
 * NE is for Eldritch transformations, such as in "There's Nothing Left, Jon".
 * NG is for Godlike transformations, such as in "Heaven is Void of Light, Jon". There is some leeway in the interpretation of NG vs NE.
 * NT is for Trans-Universal transformations that travel to or from other Universes.
 * YYMMDD is the date that the original artwork for this universe was posted online.
 * (-X) is an optional additional number in the unlikely event that two Universes would otherwise have the same ID.
 * Jon is Alive (Garfield directly addresses him)
 * Odie is Dead ("They have all ascended")
 * The Nature of Garfield's Ascension is Eldritch (roughly comparable to Cthulu in apparent size and power)
