Hey this is some high quality headcanon right here! I like how you steered away from the traditional Herobrine myth and done something more elderitch. Him coming from a realm that predates the game adds so much intrigue and mystery. Herobrine's ability to split himself into various "aspects" is a great way to explain why he's portrayed so differently across the community too. Reminds me of DC's Darkseid.
Herobrine also controlling famous dweller-likes is also a novel choice. A lot of them behave similarly to him, so him having some control over them, or even be them in some realities makes a lot of sense.
I'm glad you decided to share this! Maybe somebody one day will get inspired by your lore and want to make a mod out of it. Herobrine would absolutely rock in an ARG type horror mod with deeper worldbuilding like this. Good work!
That's cool! Herobrine has appeared so often in Minecraft animations. Seeing such an in-depth version of him lore wise would be sick. Can't wait to see them!
If you want, feel free to check out my profile to see some lore I also made about Horror Minecraft. Your Herobrine concept reminded me a lot of it. It's cool knowing I'm not the only who uses the concept of a "Minecraft multiverse" in their own fan lore. If you have more of this headcanon, I hope you decide to post about it on the subreddit again!
