Wow that is a really great summery of lore!
Titor himself is actually an original character to an original universe. His universe looks simple on the front but is actually very, very complex.
I will kind of summarize it in a tl;dr version
His universe is kind of an alternate future of the real world. It is not exactly a direct future of our real world, but has a lot of similarities to it.
The world is much more militaristic as it has been at war for a long time. Pretty much everyone contributes directly to the cause in one way or another. Many requirements to enlist in the military had been abolished as they just wanted more bodies for the cause. In fact, they highly encourage sick but able-bodied people to join, to give them a 'noble' death (This is how Titor got enlisted, since he was anemic)
There are aliens. There is not a big known presence of the aliens. There is not a war against the aliens. They are kind of about and in hiding, harvesting the wounded or dead off the battlefield for experimentation.
Technology is advanced, but not terribly advanced. Humankind lost a lot of their scientific progress when the war started, since all resources ended up being devoted to it or military technologies.
The war started over a misfire of a new weapon, an accident, that spanned into a war that lasted many, many years and involved most, if not all of the countries.
Genetic experimentation and cybernetics experiments existed, as a result there are some mutated creatures (Half animal, half human) that would not be in the nice antho version that most series portray them as. They are, for the most part, abominations. A bird-human that has wings on their head and feet and feathers growing in patchy parts of their body, a cat-human who had human ears that are grown over with flesh, and painfully near-deaf cat ears on his head (resulting in brain damage since the holes for the ears on top of the head formed differently than would be on a human). Things like that.Â
Cybernetics experiments were a bit less gruesome, though still inhumane. Human bodies controlled only by AIs, and stuff. However all of these experiments are just emerging, and the experiments usually died off very soon after reaching maturity (Which was usually an accelerated maturity to cause them to age to adulthood after a few months)
Both the experiments are done kind of on the downlow. They are not illegal, nor are they legal. People will protest their ethics, but in the end, progression and 'the cause' are put over the calls of those against it.Â
The universe is also a multiverse universe. There is a common, fixed point across the universes called the Arc. The Arc is a very complex topic, so not really going to write much about it here, just that the universe heavily focuses on multiverse theories and paradoxes and alternate outcomes.Â
I had been wanting to write a book on Titor's canon universe, however I usually lacked motivation to do so (which lead to only a few excerpts being written). Maybe for NaNoWriMo sometime I will try to get a first book done. It would definitely be a series.
