Ark

The Ark, also sometimes known as the Candleverse or Candle Cove, is a parallel universe similar to the main universe with a non-linear flow of time, and acts as a post-death or afterlife-like realm where individuals who are either victims of HABIT or the Operator, or affiliated with the supernatural, reside after death.

Description
The Ark is described as an otherworldly alternate universe that is almost completely parallel to the normal material plane, with few key differences: it has a non-linear flow of time and exhibits increased disruption on electronics, including cameras and cellphones. It also has a number of different entry points scattered throughout the physical world which allows the living to travel to and from the realm. It also has a notable lack of inhabitants except for a select few, notably the deceased, including Brian Thomas and Jeffrey of EverymanHYBRID, who, unlike the living, are unable to leave the realm through its various entry points.

It was first referred to in Marble Hornets, most notably by the group and YouTube channel totheark, though the true nature of "the Ark" remained unknown then. During Tim Wright's confrontation with Alex Kralie, the Operator constantly teleported them both back and forth between a number of different locations, some speculated to be in the Ark, including one unknown, darkened area where Brian Thomas' body was transported to after his death.

The Ark, also known as the Candleverse, has recurring appearances in EverymanHYBRID, where the cast are occasionally transported into and out of at various points in the series. It also appears in TribeTwelve, when Noah accidentally stumbled upon one of the entry points into the Candleverse. During this unintentional visit, he noticed his phone showcasing a different date than the present, suffered physical ailments from attempting to consume the water in the realm, and encountered Jeff of the EverymanHYBRID crew, who was already deceased at that point in time. He then encountered HABIT, who ejected Noah out of the realm, while implying the entity has a degree of control over Candleverse.

History
By the beginning of 2019, it is strongly implied that Jeff, Vinny and Evan have "respawned" after the latter two died, alongside Dr. James Corenthal, in a separate space that is located within the Ark that Corenthal has "rid of monsters" and shielded from the Operator or HABIT's influence and reach, which Corenthal dubs as "Eden". The four of them were last seen reuniting in "Eden" before leaving the iteration for good.
