DeVerse, also known as the Diverse Project and Diversity Project, is an entrepreneurial and online community endeavor created by Mar Qaroll. As it is now, it is little more than a creative collaborative group and figurehead of his life's work. Mar hopes for it to become a company for the alternative communities and minds, offering or affiliating with businesses offering merchandise, art and music, and focuses on healthy living. Mission statementThe mission of DeVerse is to find even more minds to collaborate with and cultivate a mature, open-minded community. This community will strive to offer the most outlandish, diverse services to members of alternative and different communities ranging from the LARPers to the fetish scene and those of the dark culture. We advocate for unyielding, devoted lovers of the enigmatic, occult, dark artistry, literature, strange and unusual, macabre, alternative thinking, queer minds, and all things dark in nature, no matter what your age, religion, or any of those unimportant details. Our mission is to become one of the leading providers and sources of the utmost outlandish products, events, projects, and minds spanning across the world. We aren't afraid to be true to who we are and our interests—no matter how questionable they may be. We will remain peaceful and aware of the darkness, diversity and deviousness in the world, seeing the world from different angles. We dare to deviate from the norm. We dare to differ. |

Development history
During these early years of its creation to 2009, much of the developmental process wasn't at all artistic, with most of the concentration on exactly what the group's focus would be. However, 2009 brought about the 2009 Revamp, creating what is now known as Project DV with the two divisions for art and prose.
Separation: 2010 - 2015
Poject DV was treated differently from when it and DV LLC existed together.
Development for the Project halted almost entirely during the time Mar was in school from 2012 to late 2015 and even into 2016.
Revamp 2k16: 2016 - 2019
In 2016, the Project was given a new logo and a "mature" revamp from the last reformation in 2009. During this time, more concentrated effort to advertise the Project began, using Mar's social media accounts as a platform. However, Mar's personal life greatly interfered and there was little done for the Project despite the best efforts.
2017 was the honorary year of the Project's 10th year anniversary celebrations to make up for the previous year.
In January of 2017, the celebrations the anniversary began with full force. In February, the first Introduction Site was given a thorough revamp and a new look.
Shortly after, the Project went onto an indefinite hiatus.
Return: Late 2019 - Present
In October 2019, Mar decided to abandon his once-lifelong DeVerse project, Project PHE. The decision was made in part to the renewed focus on original work, as PHE was a fanfiction project. Following this, another sincere attempt to work on DeVerse began starting with the erasure of the "project" of DV and a full focus on using its full name, DeVerse.
On September 22nd 2020, several steps that had never happened since DeVerse's inception came to fruition, such as securing a domain name, creating a blog, and a complete revamp of the old wiki.
