5	!!The franchise in general:
6	* DivorcedInstallment: ''The Arknverse'' (and, subsequently, the mythos as a whole) counts as one: it was originally proposed as an addition (of sorts) to Franchise/TheFearMythos; [=DeathlyLogic=], [=Type0Negative=] and Kekstein posted their early concepts for the project on the Fear Mythos wiki forums. However, they were unhappy with the feedback they received and the changes the community wanted to make to their ideas.[[note]](Among other things, they wanted to give the Slender Man a more prominent role, turn the Arkn and Dekn into human cults, and suggested making .Reality a walking, breathing mortal being (who could be killed by the Fears.)[[/note]] They ultimately decided to break away from the established web communities, and create their own, independent 'verse.
7	* NoBudget: ''All'' of the vlogs in the Mythos, without exception, star the creators and their friends and are filmed on a handheld camera or smart phone, in the actors' homes and the surrounding areas. The only money spent on production goes towards props, theatrical makeup, and gas to drive to filming locations. (Or sometimes just ''drive'': a number of [[BottleEpisode episodes]] in the vlogs were shot entirely in the protagonist's car while driving. [=DeathlyLogic=] even filmed one episode of ''Solar's Crimson'' while driving to work in the morning -- with the in-episode explanation that Michaelis was doing ''the exact same thing.'')
8	* OrphanedSeries: ''Arkn: Echo'' (a.k.a. Universe O) was a planned prequel blog series, helmed by [=DeathlyLogic=] [=Type0Negative=], and set in the universe before A, which would have explored how the formerly mortal Hethe became the monstrous entities we see in The Arknverse. It debuted May 15, 2018, and posted two entries before it was ultimately abandoned and deleted.
9	* ProductionThrowback: Ellpagg's name was taken from the protagonist of [=RedlightOmega=] (one of the series that inspired ''The Arkn Mythos''): LPAG, a character known only by his screen handle (which stood for "Let's Play A Game").
10	* SpinOff: ''WebOriginal/ArknEternal'' was intended to act as one to the Arknthology, by exploring what would have happened if Azrael Michaelis had used his TimeMaster powers to travel back in history and prevent the Arkn-Dekn war.
11	* StillbornFranchise: ''Eternal'' has gone this route; since [=DeathlyLogic=] introduced the universe in the finale of ''Solar's Crimson'', no content has been produced for it.
12	* TroubledProduction: A number of vlogs and blogs set in the War Chronicles and the Winter Saga were delayed due to disagreements between the creators (namely, disputes regarding various plot points in the Arknthology and how various characters fit into it). Said disputes led to a great deal of infighting, which resulted in a number of creators leaving the Mythos -- and lead to several vlogs and blogs being cancelled and/or deleted. In the end, [=DeathlyLogic=] and [=PesterJest=] decided to abandon any plot arcs tied to the Arknthology, cancel their remaining series, and begin work on the SpinOff franchise (and other content unrelated to the Arknthology).
13	** Oddly, [=TypeONegative=] and [=FeralWasteland=] both reconciled with [=DeathlyLogic=] in early 2017. Their respective Arknthology series ([=acryfromwinter=] and [=MedBoy789=] were resurrected, along with ''The Knight Shift: End Times'', and several new episodes were produced for each series. The trio fell out again several months later, however, and their vlogs -- and the Arknthology -- were once again put out to pasture.
14	** In early 2018, DL and [=T0N=] reconciled yet ''again'', and decided to create a new Arknverse plot involving their main characters, Uriel and Azrael. Less than two weeks later, ''those'' plans were put on the backburner (due to DL having employment and financial issues). [=FeralWasteland=] would return independently late that year, long enough to finish up [=MedBoy789=] (encouraging DL to do the same with ''Solar's Crimson'', and wrapping up the Arknthology once and for all).
15	* UnPerson: [=ControlZero=] (a.k.a. Zac), a personal friend of [=DeathlyLogic=] and one of the original creators of ''Arknverse'' (as well as ''Legacy'' and the planned Arknverse spin-off, ''Arkn Echo: End Times'') was banned from the franchise in 2022 after allegations of emotional and financial abuse (and possible grooming behavior) surfaced. While he had already decanonized most of his content voluntarily (thus avoiding plotholes and the need for retcons), every mention of his name was scrubbed from the wiki.
