Open Canon Questions
A consolidated list of every genuinely open canon question — collected here so nothing gets silently treated as settled, and so no other chapter needs to re-explain them.
- Ship name — a name has been authored (Lunar Wanderer, community nickname Diamond Hand — see Stories), but it is PROPOSED, not owner-confirmed.
- Accident cause — genuinely OPEN/UNRESOLVED. A PROPOSED narrative device (a debris-field shortcut) is authored and used consistently, but no source confirms this is the actual, final cause.
- Landing date — not determined (the landing itself, on Earth, is treated as settled-as-authored; the exact date is not).
- Specific artifact names — a full three-tier list has been authored (Objects & Artifacts) and is PROPOSED, not owner-confirmed.
- Antagonist names — draft threat concepts exist and are named as concept-categories (FUD-creatures, Rug-Pull goblins, Bear-Market beasts — see Characters), but the primary source itself marks these names open, not settled here or anywhere else in this project.
- Faction/entity structure — none established beyond informal contributor-group framing (Characters — Factions / Entities).
- World geography — Lunaris Prime and the Lunar Expanse are authored, PROPOSED location names (see Locations); beyond them and Earth, nothing further is established.
- Ship emblem visual design — no symbol exists yet; needed once the ship’s visual identity is separately resolved.
- Insignia tenure count (added 2026-08-31, mechanism finalized 2026-09-01) — the Lunaris Insignia System’s tenure ring (chest patch border, §4) counts years on her current post-crash posting only (concentric rings, 5-year groups, 15-year ceiling) — the system is canon; her exact current tick count is not fixed.
- Insignia distinction slot (added 2026-08-31) — her shoulder patch has an open slot for a personal commendation/achievement; which specific event it represents is not decided — a genuine hook for future story/game development, not an oversight.
- Voidraider/Dominion clan appearance (added 2026-08-31) — the Lunaris Insignia System (§8) documents these clans for contrast, but whether any Voidraider- or Dominion-marked individual ever appears in canon is undecided; the closed-cast rule means this isn’t needed while Sol Mamy is the only introduced character, but it isn’t ruled out either.
- Protector/Trader branch colors (added 2026-08-31, corrected same day — mislabeled Sol Mamy’s own branch) — the Insignia System (§1-§2) names Protector and Trader as branches alongside Sol Mamy’s own Keeper branch, but their costume-color encoding is undefined — not needed while she’s the only introduced character, undecided if a second character is ever introduced.
- Lunaris numeral system / “Raccoon Protocol” — CLOSED, promoted to canon 2026-09-01. Only remaining open item: achievement badges have no shared visual-grammar/frame rule yet (unlike the hexagon frame fixed for skill badges) — deferred to whenever the first achievement is actually designed, not blocking anything today.
- Paw anatomy corrected 2026-09-01 — the source-brief’s “3 fingers + thumb, never 5” (M07) was superseded by direct owner instruction (human body proportions throughout; standard 5-fingered hands). Surfaced while developing the item above; not itself part of that proposal.
- Domain-skill badge visual rendering (added 2026-08-31) — the Insignia System §9 defines the hexagon-badge structure and meaning for domain-skill marks (2 badges currently: Solana-systems, memecoin-economics) but explicitly states this “needs its own reference art pass before use in generation” — no badge has an actual rendered design yet, and none appears on any reference photo, old or new.
- Full restoration of the rear interface’s power — she currently operates it below full strength (Objects & Artifacts); whether/how it is ever restored to full power is an open future story beat.
- Superpower/Guardian ability — checked 2026-08-30, found absent, and deliberately not added: a candidate concept was drafted and evaluated (see Objects & Artifacts) but judged unnecessary — the existing causal chain doesn’t need it, and her established personality doesn’t call for it. Not a pending question; a closed design decision, not owner-gated.
None of these block using the universe in current production — they matter only when a specific piece of content needs to reference one of them directly, at which point that content should flag the same open status rather than inventing an answer.
Exception: this “doesn’t block production” rule does not apply to visual production of an item listed here as undesigned (domain-skill badge rendering, ship emblem, etc.) — any such item must be explicitly excluded from a visual-production pass before that pass starts, not discovered afterward. See Mascot Book — Visual Identity for what is and isn’t visually fixed today.
