The Birth of Oron

Colossus’ raw power, wolverines’ adamantine claws, Captain America's unbreakable shield, the powers of the Greek gods, and the hierarchy of the archangels. These are but a few to name of the heroes I would watch growing up.

I was always a fanboy for superheroes, especially marvel. I had my time with DC, but I was always more drawn to the stories of the X-men or other superheroes within the realm of the marvel universe. Other means of fantasy such as Lord of The Rings and anime such as one-punch man and Dragonball Z played a part as well, but it was a few that stemmed from my childhood that allowed me to develop Oron the character you read today.

Colossus

To say that fantasy and heroes have had a slight impact on my novel is an understatement. I remember getting up early Saturday mornings, roughly around 8 am, to catch a list of cartoon shows that would appear on Fox. Over a few years, the shows had moved around and switched but I always remember waiting to watch the 90’s nostalgic marvel show x-men. The always progressive stories of wolverine’s trust issues and macho feud with cyclops, gambit’s Casanova chivalrous tendencies towards rogue, and Professor X’s forever dilemma of accepting the very humans who hate him while teaching mutants to be at peace with civilization was what I loved about the show. I couldn’t wait to rush to the carpet in front of my tv and sit for two half-hour episodes. At the time wolverine had been my favorite mutant and marvel character for that matter and still is. But the character that helped shape Oron was colossus. I remember seeing him for the first time, his mutant power of being able to enwrap himself in metal which tremendously increased his raw strength and power reeled me in. His character traits of being a humble Russian farmer with roots of loyalty and fighting for good is also what attached me to him even further. From that point on until this very day, colossus is still one of my top favorite marvel characters and has also helped pave the way for me to creating my character Oron. I knew I wanted Orons characteristics to be someone who came across as hard and cold on the outside because of the lore I had built around him, but I wasn’t exactly sure how I wanted him to look. Eventually between coming across colossus combined with my love for bodybuilding and the aesthetics that bodybuilders bring is ultimately the reason why I created Oron to have more of a menacing appeal to my readers. But as for the color of Orons skin, it’s funny that Oron turned to be blue. I have gotten feedback both negative and even some positive saying Dr. Manhattan has played a role in this decision I made. They are similar in some respects but in all honesty, it had nothing to do with that character. The sole reason is that I like the color blue and decided to go with a lighter or sky blue. Navy blue is my favorite to be exact, but I Liked a light shade of blue that looked on Oron and then decided to keep it. I had gone through several other stages of Oron with different colors and patterns and other anatomical appearances, but I felt none of them looked well enough as the color that he ultimately ended up with.

Sarevok

Another character that played a role in the creation of Oron was the main antagonist of the well-known RPG-pc game from the 1990s Sarevok Anchev from Baldur’s Gate. Still one of my favorite villains ever, Sarevok had the menacing appeal of height, increased strength, and malice that caused him to be feared. But it was his assured intelligence and allured determination that made me enjoy his character. Although I like the version of Sarevok from Baldur’s gate, it is the expansion to Shadows of Amn in Throne of Bhaal that was the version that piqued my interest for Oron. Sarevok at this point comes forward to help his brother, the main protagonist in the entire storyline. The evil aura still emanated from Sarevok but as you play out the game, or read the books, you, in turn, find out that even though this once archrival of yours had been your most bitter enemy was nowhere to help you even with the ominous characteristics he still had. This helped give me an idea to develop Orons past as being one of sorrow and negativity while helping Aurelia and although being a stern teacher, Oron meant the best for Aurelia. There were certain differences between the characters but also some similarities as well in the ways of how they displayed their care for the person they trying to help and the determination and confidence they expressed through their cold hard demeanors with Orons being more serious and Sarevoks attitude animating more of a serious but sinister malevolence.

Marvels Cosmic Hierarchy

Getting older I started to really dive into the cosmic hierarchies of Marvel. The vast powers in the universe always intrigued me as to how powerful they could become and how different beings would clash against one another. Being limited to the capabilities we have as humans always made these stronger beings look much more appealing because I knew it was physically impossible to achieve their prominence of power. Characters like Galactus or the In-Betweener from the marvel cosmic hierarchy would always possess jaw-dropping crazy abilities and crash with other beings of good or evil in the universe. I wanted to adapt powers such as this into my storyline, but I wanted to also make sure the readers knew that no matter how powerful one could seem, everything in my universe can be defeated. We might look at Oron and think that he’s a God of some sort, an undefeatable being with extraordinary abilities. But the truth is Oron could be matched by other relevant powers as well. In Marvels Hierarchy, the order of power is laid out for you to see who is the strongest and weakest of that order, although it's subject to change at times since some beings get stronger and others weaker. But what I enjoy is that even though there is an order of strength of power that doesn’t mean someone of weaker status can’t defeat another being of higher ranking. Because there are so many factors that help accumulate the ranking status of powers you are never fully solidified in that position and can be destroyed. As Marvel fans would know, we saw this when master order and lord chaos put aside their differences and joined together to destroy the living tribunal who was considered the second to the one-above-all who is the strongest entity in the marvel universe. Another example was how the Knull, the divine leader of the symbiotes, such as the one called venom from Spider-Man appeared from the multi-verse and decapitated a celestial, who were known to be some of the strongest beings in the multi-verse at the time. As much as there are hierarchies sometimes there are powers that seem to have been forgotten or hidden away to avoid detection. And even though there is a list of hierarchical power such as the one Oron is a part of you maybe never be truly undefeatable with other powerful beings that roam the universe.

Greek Gods of Old

Another form of lore that helped shaped my character Oron was the tales of the Greek Gods from Mount Olympus. The many stories and fiery battles between themselves and also the titans intrigued me the most out of the many legends they were a part of. Their supremacy and dominance over Earth and its inhabitants were similar to what I wanted to implement in how Oron was perceived. Each Greek god had a role to play in part to help civilization keep structured. They each had an array of followers, some more than others, and had cities dedicated to their names. They were worshipped and in term bestowed their blessings upon the strongest of their followers and warriors. But Out of all the gods I always gravitated towards Poseidon and Hercules the most. Poseidon’s because of the wisdom yet commanding presence the god held and Hercules because of the demi-gods valiant heart and brute strength. So, you can say these didn’t exactly correctly tie with Oron but there are similar traits from these characters and the motions of the Greek Gods that inspired some of the character traits in Oron. Although Oron is a hard-pressed individual he still flows with wisdom from the amount of experience he has gained from his years of life as Poseidon expressed through his many gatherings with other Gods and mainly Zeus. Oron’s strength seems to be unmatched and comes off as an omnipotent figure, similar to Hercules, to the people of Earth. As you read along in the novel you come to see Orons shortcomings and also weaknesses which were important for me to show. But whatever Greek God it was, even though they were far beyond mortals, they could have weaknesses emotionally and physically. You could be strong-willed and mentally equipped but even the Gods can be shaken just like when they had to battle the titans for their freedom.

Christian Biblical Hierarchy and its Powers

Growing up I was brought into a family with moderate practice of the Catholic Christian religion. Every Sunday for several years we would go to church and celebrate the name of God like a lot of other Christian families and live our lives as close to those religious morals. Needless to say, as I got older I drifted farther away from the specific ideological catholic beliefs when it came to how we were created. I still did and currently have a belief that there is some sort of greater being in the universe, but I have concluded that I have no idea what it is. For all I know it could be some greater intelligence that has no shape or form. It could be some superior alien race that decided to use humans as a test subject for their own means of biological experimentation. Or maybe we collided with other forms of substances and we weren’t the direct creation from any being at all, just a number of substances colliding together which then took billions of years to create our bacterial organisms that finally evolved into what we are today. Personally, I don’t believe in the latter of the possibilities, I think there is some sort of greater being or spirit, intelligence, or energy, whatever you want to call it, but have no idea what it is. But as I started to sway away from Catholicism the stories of the archangels and powers within the bible didn’t leave my mind so easily. Reading upon how God created the Earth and then the archangels and other stories such as Able and Kane piqued my interest. This was the foundation for the background lore of Illithesium and also my wanting to add Oron to a hierarchy of characters that belonged to the Christian religion but with my own twist. God's love with the strength of Michael and Lucifer's fallen grace would play a role in Illithesium and Oron but differently from how the bible displays it. Oron and these characters were beings of great power, yes, but they could be destroyed and were not immortal as we learned growing up in religion class. They had physical forms and could be spoken to although through a language far beyond our capabilities. Their legendary powers displayed in the bible also are showcased but in a way that it could be explained and understood in a more somewhat scientific down-to-earth method. Adding Oron to the lore of characters that I grew up reading about and knowing with adding many different featured twists was creatively fun. And the lore thickens as I’m currently writing the second book which you’ll get to see hopefully sooner rather than later.

My Love for Bodybuilding

As I mentioned up above, bodybuilding has been a part of my life since I was 18 and has allowed me to view life in a specific way. If you want results, then you need to go out and earn them by taking necessary calculated actions in order to have success. By doing this over years I build a physique I had once admired and still admire, for myself through hard work and dedication. Involving myself in bodybuilding and reading upon bodybuilders and strength lifters is what really caused me to adopt a specific look to my character Oron. Now not all my characters look as big as Oron as I want physiological diversity in my novels, but the results one can get from weightlifting and the many ways you can build your body are shown through all my characters. But the reason why I chose Oron to not only be tall and broad but heavily muscular was to give an idea of what a superior being far beyond human capabilities can look like at physical peak performance. But an even bigger and more lasting impression I wanted to leave on my readers was that even the mightiest and biggest beings have demons they have nestled inside them. The strongest of us also have skeletons in their closet they’d like to forget that always come back to eventually haunt us. It was to show that it's normal to have to face your fears and to overcome them. It was a combination of respecting the hard work and ethic that goes into building a body as bodybuilders do, whether they be natural or not, and the strength that has to be applied to overcome the adversity of everyday life obstacles, injuries, and more. And to know that a being that may be tall and strong with power none the likes have seen before can still be shattered as nothing in the universe was made to be perfect and will eventually break under certain pressure.

Last Thoughts

Oron became a staple in the Illithesium novel and to find out more you’d of course have to read up on the book to see what happens. I hope you enjoyed the character of Oron as much as I did create him and giving him life while watching him grow throughout the novel.

If you liked what you read here or have any questions, comment below or send me an email and I’d be happy to chat with you!

Saints&Reading: Sat., Sept. 26, 2020

Commemorated on September 13_” Old” Julian Calendar

The Commemoration of the Renewal of the Temple of the Resurrection of Christ at Jerusalem (335)

The Commemoration of the Renewal of the Temple of the Resurrection of Christ at Jerusalem celebrates the solemnity on the occasion of the consecration of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, built by the Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine the Great and his mother Equal-to-the-Apostles the empress Helen. This feastday is still called among the people by its unique title "having reputation from the Resurrection" ("Voskresenie slovuschee") and it means that it reputes to or pertains to the Resurrection, in distinction from the Feast of the Luminous Resurrection of Christ, and refers particularly to the consecration of the Church in honour of the Resurrection of Christ. The history of the construction of this temple is thus. After the voluntary Passion and Death on the Cross of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the holy place of His suffering was long trampled on by pagans. When the Roman emperor Titus in the year 70 conquered Jerusalem, he razed the city and destroyed the Temple of Solomon on Mount Moriah, leaving there not a stone upon a stone, as even the Saviour had foretold about in conversation with the disciples (Mt. 13: 1-2). Later on the zealous pagan emperor Adrian (117-138) built on the place of the Jerusalem destroyed by Titus a new city, which was named after his name – Aelia Adriani (Aelia Capitolina) and made it forbidden to call the city by its former name. The Holy Sepulchre of the Lord he gave orders to cover over with ground and stones and on that spot to set up an idol; and on Golgotha where the Saviour was crucified, in 119 he constructed a pagan-temple dedicated to the goddess Venus. In front of the statues they offered sacrifice to demons and performed pagan rites, accompanied by wanton acts. In Bethlehem, at the place the Saviour was born of the AllPure Virgin, the impious emperor set up an idol of Adonis. He did all this intentionally, so that people would forget completely about Christ the Saviour and that they would no more remember the places where He lived, taught, suffered and arose in glory. When there began the reign of Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine the Great (306‑337), the first of the Roman emperors to recognise the Christian religion, he together with his pious mother the empress Helen decided to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and on the place of the suffering and Resurrection of the Lord to erect a new temple, to purify from the foul pagan cults the places connected with memory of the Saviour, and again to consecrate them. The nobleborn empress Helen journeyed to Jerusalem with a large quantity of gold, and Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine the Great wrote a letter to Patriarch Makarios I (313-335), in which he requested him to assist in every possible way for the task of the renewal of the Christian holy places. Having arrived in Jerusalem, the holy empress Helen destroyed all the idolous pagan temples and had the desecrated places re-consecrated. She was ardent with the desire to find the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and she gave orders to dig up the place, where stood the temple of Venus. There they discovered the covered over Sepulchre of the Lord and the place of the Skull, not far from where they found three crosses and nails. In order to determine, upon which of the three crosses lay the Saviour, Patriarch Makarios gave orders to touch alternately against a dead person, whom they happened to be carrying by towards a place of burial. Just as the Cross of Christ touched the dead person, he immediately came alive. With the greatest of joy the nobleborn empress Helen and Patriarch Makarios raised up high the Life-Creating Cross and displayed it to all the people standing about. The holy empress quickly set about the construction of a large church, which enclosed in its walls the place of the Crucifixion of the Saviour – Golgotha, and the Sepulchre of the Lord, located a not large distance from each other, and as the holy Apostle and Evangelist John wrote about this: "At that place, where He was crucified, was a garden and in the garden a new tomb, in which still no one had been put; there they did place Jesus because of the Jewish Friday, since that the tomb was nearby" (Jn. 19: 41-42). The Church of the Resurrection was 10 years in building, and the holy empress Helen did not survive to the completion of construction. Having returned to Constantinople, she reposed in the year 327. After the time of her arrival in Jerusalem the holy empress built churches in Bethlehem, on the Mount of Olives, at Gethsemane and in many other places, connected with the life of the Saviour and events in the New Testament. The completion of construction of the New Testament temple of the Resurrection of Christ, called "Martyrion", in memory of the sufferings of the Cross of the Saviour, co‑incided with the passage of the First Council of Tyre, and with it the thirty year reign of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine the Great. Wherefore at the assemblage of 13 September 335 the consecration of the temple was particularly solemn. At the consecration of the church participated hierarchy of the Christian Churches from many lands: Bythnia, Thrace, Cilicia, Cappadocia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Arabia, Palestine and Egypt. To the solemnity of the renewal were invited only the fathers that concluded the Tyre Council. On this day was consecrated all the city of Jerusalem. The commemoration of this remarkable event by the fathers of the Church was established as 13 September.

The Holy GreatMartyr Ketvana (1624)

The Holy GreatMartyr Ketvana was descended from the imperial Bagration lineage and was a great-grandchild of the emperor Constantine of Kartalin (1469-1505). Having become the spouse of David, successor to the emperor Alexander II of Khaketin (1577-1605), she herself governed the empire. The deep piety of the empress was manifest in a particular attention to the needs of the Gruzian (Georgian) Church, – in the building of churches, shelters and vagrants homes. After the death of her husband Saint Ketvana settled into solitude. The brother of her husband, Constantine (called Okayan), accepted Mahometanism and on the instructions of the shah Abbas I sent assassins to his dying father, the emperor Alexander II, and his brother George. Having committed the crime, Constantine gave orders to place the bodies of the murdered on camels and take them to the empress Ketvana. Horrified at the wicked deed, the empress bewailed the innocent sufferers and buried them at the Alaverdsk cathedral. The impious one, however, enroached upon her honourable widowhood and demanded her hand, threatening force in case of refusal. The empress Ketvana gathered the people of Kakhetin and marched against Constantine, defeating the impious apostate. He met an inglorious death together with many in the Persian army. Under the wise rule of the empress Ketvana, peace and justice were re-established in Kakhetia. Shah Abbas I returned her son Teimuraz, who although he had lived several years in court in the guise of an hostage, preserved his Orthodox faith in purity. Afterwards the shah Abbas, threatening Gruzia with destruction, coerced the Kakhetin feudal authorities into handing over illustrious hostages. In that number voluntarily was the empress Ketvana. Wanting to avert disaster for the Gruzian nation and Holy Church, she arrived in Ispahan. Shah Abbas urged the nobleborn empress to accept Mahometanism, but he received decisive refusal. Thereupon the empress Ketvana was thrown into prison, where she spent ten years, filled with the sufferings of martyrdom. Neither vileness from Persian courtiers, nor cunning offers by the shah to elevate her to empress of the Persian realm, nor offers to her of great treasure, nor the implorings and entreaties of the courtiers and Persian nobles, – nothing was able to budge her, not even to uttering a single blasphemous word against Christ, nothing was able to move the sufferer for Christ. They tortured her with red-hot tongs hung cross-wise in wood. On the head of the holy martyress they touched a red-hot iron kettle. The dense smoke from her burning hair and head rose upwards, and the blessed martyress gave up her soul to God on 13 September 1624. Three bright pillars, having come down upon the body of Saint Ketvana, signified her spiritual victory. The relics of the holy empress were taken to Rome, to the cathedral of the holy Apostle Peter, by monks of the Augustinian order who had been witnesses to her deed of confessor. Part of the relics (the venerable head and right hand of the martyress) was given by the Augustinian monks to emperor Teimuraz I and placed beneathe the altar-table (prestol') of the Alaverdi cathedral of the holy GreatMartyr George in Kakhetia. The Catholikos-Patriarch Zakharia (1613-1630) enumerated the great-martyress to the rank of the saints and established her memory on 13 September.

Matthew 16:13-18

13When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"14 So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah orone of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

Hebrews 3:1-4

1Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

Rita Hayworth: the goddess of love

Absolute fantasy, consecrated by Gilda, Rita Hayworth was and is still considered one of the most beautiful American women of her time. However, behind a displayed sensuality, hid a great fragility. Portrait.

Margarita Carmen Cansino was born on October 17, 1918 In New York, parents of Spanish, English and Irish origin. From her earliest years, she performed in the family dance troupe, called “Dansing Cansinos”. The actress will later say that "she learned to dance before she even walked." At 12, she is already a seasoned dancer, star of the family show. A recognition that it owes to the determination of the latter, who has only one word in his mouth: work. Rita is indeed deprived of childhood, while her freer brothers go out with their friends.

The girl doesn’t go to school, her whole life is dance-oriented. "To work, to work, is the only word I heard during my childhood," complained Rita. I was never a little girl ... ". Many years later, when married to Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth confessed to having suffered an incestuous affair with her father, the latter's alcoholism helping.

A complicated start to an acting career

In 1933, Warner Bros. Pictures gave him a try, but Rita's overly Mediterranean physique did not suit them. The girl is indeed too brown, too round for the criteria of the time.

It was in Tijuana, at the age of fifteen, that she was spotted by Winfield Sheehan, vice-president of Fox. Seduced by the young dancer, he made her sign a contract after more than conclusive tests, but imposed some changes on her: she had to change her name, and therefore opted for the diminutive Rita, had to lose weight and take lessons in maintenance and of diction. The young woman begins to turn in some productions, but the Fox knows some difficulties and the contract of Rita is broken. Stifling under the family yoke, Rita manages to break free from her parents ’grip thanks to Edward C. Hudson, a businessman. 20 years older, he marries the young woman, then 19 years old and undertakes to transform her.

To meet Hollywood beauty standards, Rita must lose weight, have her molars pulled to refine her face, and undergo painful electrolysis sessions to scorch her hair. The implantation of the young woman's hairline is also offset. In addition, she must take maintenance courses again. She completes her transformation by adopting the name of her mother Hayworth, more distinguished and less typified. The transition to icon has started. She is then presented to the boss of Colombia Pictures and signs a 7-year contract with them, with a salary of up to $ 250 per week.

The start of recognition

The actress takes off with the movie Only the Angels Have Wings. Uncomfortable and sickly shy, she is reassured by her partner, Cary Grant, who assures her that the film will be a success. It is, and Rita quickly appears in other productions. She explodes in Strawberry Blonde, in which she perfectly embodies the perfect seductress. However, the young woman is still very insecure, a thousand miles from the image of sex symbol that she conveys in society.Her image as a femme fatale is further enhanced by her performance in Bloody Arenas, where she is chosen from 30 actresses.

She takes up musical comedy alongside Fred Astaire where she can once again use her dancing skills.

Consecration with "Gilda"

On the love side, she divorced in May 1942 from Judson, who had become violent and possessive. It connects the connections, but ends up succumbing to the charms of Orson Welles, who wanted more than anything to conquer the most beautiful woman in the United States. They finally got married on September 7, 1943. Rita Hayworth had successes, but was increasingly neglected by Welles, who became involved in politics. Together, they will have a daughter, Rebecca, in December 1944. She returns to the studios and shoots "Gilda", which will forever remain the reference film of Rita Hayworth. With the latter, it forever becomes a sexual symbol. The famous scene where the actress mimics a striptease while singing "Put the blame on mame" will forever be remembered. The success was such that the first atomic bomb launched in 1946 on Bikini Atoll was named Gilda and was illustrated with the physique of the actress. Deeply shocked by the event, lost in her personal life (she divorces Oron Welles on December 1, 1948), the actress decides to take refuge in Europe, in order to get away from the star system for a while.

A hectic personal life She meets Prince Ali Khan at a party in Cannes. Rita became princess a year later, on May 27, 1949, after a year of over-mediated affair. She gave birth to her second child, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan on December 28 of the same year. But the life of a princess is not that simple, the constraints being numerous, as are the prince's connections. The couple divorces in 1953.

She returns to the United States, finds success thanks to Salome, whose famous dance scene of the seven veils. Despite everything, the first years after her return to the United States remain difficult for Rita who disputes the custody of her daughter with her ex-husband.

Always so emotionally unstable, she married her fourth husband Dick Haymes on September 24, 1954. The marriage was a total failure, as was the next with James Hill. Inconsistent in love, Rita will confide "the men fall asleep with Gilda and wake up with me".

The decline of an icon The decline began in the 1970s, when, unable to remember her lyrics, in a changing mood and with a penchant for the bottle, Rita was shunned by film studios. Knowing that she had no resources, actor Robert Mitchum offered her the film "Hell of the Tropics". She painfully finishes what will be her last film, she who has Alzheimer's disease, can no longer remember a single line of text. His daughter, Princess Yasmin Khan then obtained his guardianship, subsequently becoming a personality very committed to the fight against the disease. The goddess of love, as she was known, died on May 14, 1987 in New York.

Note

Zorlon, Creed, and Elysian!

Ah, a three for one deal!

I’ll go ahead and start with Elysia since she’s one of my minor and thus more obscure OC’s, one that I intend on using again in the future.

Full Name: Elysia Opal Crane

Gender: Cis Female

Sexuality: Not sure yet, possibly bisexual.

Pronouns: She/Her

Ethnicity/species: Dwarf, Irish American

Birthplace: I wanna say a place rather similar to Drake, though haven’t nailed it down just yet.

Birthdate: October 1st (15 years old)

Guilty Pleasures: Rom-Coms

Phobias: Arachnophobia

What They Would Be Famous For: Coming from a family of steampunks, she is a great inventor in her own right. Wanting to be in the spot light, she would likely try to invent something so awe inspiring that her story would be told for generations.

What They Would Get Arrested For: If she ever got desperate enough for fame(which I wouldn’t doubt would happen), she would steal some pretty hardcore tech or get a hold of some illegal tech.

OC You Ship Them With: Non applicable for now

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: I don’t really have any OC’s that would know her that well, though let’s just say a certain reformed golem gets that idea...

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Science Fiction for sure.

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliches: The stubborn leader/father who won’t listen.

Talent and/or Powers: As mentioned earlier, she is a great inventor, and has invented some pretty “out there” inventions over the years. As such, she’s very savvy on various tools and machines, particularly those most would have trouble with.

Why Someone Might Love Them: Those of like minds would like Elysia for her intellect, which pretty high to say the least, likely enough to get her out of high school early. As such, she’s actually quite poplar among snobby inventors in her own core group. Deep deep down, however, she somewhat has a low opinion on herself, mostly for when it comes to her family’s inventions. To be frank, her parents are very egotistical and usually don’t give her inventions much thought, which is what drives her to seek fame and create such gadgets. This reveals a softer side that she doesn’t show publicly, in truth all she wants is to feel appreciated.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: Wanting to be all high and mighty among her peers, it’s actually quite easy for others to hate her, as she’s very condescending and and cold, often saying the most hurtful things to those she considers beneath her. Above that, she’s very underhanded and will finds creative ways to sabatoge her competition, which so far had been Em, the only dwarf so far who had ever posed any real threat to her status. Talking of which, Elysia’s also very prone to jealousy, especially among other such inventors like Em, who have invented quite a few impressive items as well.

How They Change: This is where we get into slight spoiler territory....

She won’t change a WHOLE lot, but after a series of unfortunate events, she softens up a bit and develops a bit more respect for Em over time, as she opens up to Em why she is what she is.

Why You Love Them: Needless to say, she’s not someone I’d get along with in real life. That said, I enjoy smart bully characters who attack verbally rather than physically, which in many respects is almost worse than physical bullying as they can mentally mess someone up. I also like her eventual slight change of heart. I emphasize slight as people like her don’t truly change, though it’s nice that she heads in the right direction.

_____

Full Name:

Former name: Hectillius Fang

Current name: Creed Slitherwick

Gender: Cis Male

Sexuality: Aromantic Asexual

Pronouns: He/Him

Species: Anthropomorphic Viper

Birthplace: Oron

Birthdate: November 20th (Age 35)

Guilty Pleasures: Newspaper comics

Phobias: No specific phobia, but he is paranoid of anyone finding out his true status as a crimelord.

What They Would Be Famous For: Here we have two sides of the same coin. On the surface, he’s already famous as Drake City’s leading philanthropist/entrepreneur. People idolize him and young kids wish one day to be him. On the other hand, in the eyes of the Undercity he’s the most infamous crimelord. Most criminals idolize him for allowing criminals free range in the Undercity, as well as Drake City depending on areas where authorities are more scarce. Those who are innocent in the Undercity despise and fear him due to his greedy nature, taking from the innocent any chance he can get and will dispose of anyone in his way.

What They Would Get Arrested For: Would you like the short list, or the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong list? Honestly, he’d likely face a death penalty for stealing the petrified King and Queen alone.

OC You Ship Them With: Being an Aro-Ace, he’s not likely to get shipped anytime soon. Ha, admittedly I thought of a funny bit where Serena Snakecharmer develops a light crush on him since he complimented her hair, though that won’t be canon.

OC Most Likley To Muder Them: There is no shortage of people who would love to drive a knife through Creed’s heart. Spoiler Alert: Someone Actually Succeeds

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Mystery, horror, crime dramas

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: When people split up and get picked off during horror movies.

Talent and/or Powers: His mastermind-level intellect alone is the most dangerous trait he has, as he comes up with elaborate yet clever schemes to evade the local authorities, the royal guard, and, especially the Mysticons. Though he’d rather not get into a physical confrontation if he can help it, he’s very well versed in melee combat, as well as marksmanship with canes that have venom projectiles. He can also morph into a seemingly normal viper and evade or sneak up on his opponents, or simply to escape. Being a viper, he also has a deadly venomous bite that would end just about anyone, and will gladly do so if he feels the need rises. Perhaps his most notable talent, however, is his knowledge in criminology and business, thus learning how to use charisma to his advantage and turning every weakness into a strength.

Why Someone Might Love or Hate Them: I decided to combine these two together since, again, it’s two sides of the same coin. People would love him simply for his seemingly humanitarian life style. The naíve citizen would simply idolize him for his efforts to bring a better tomorrow for his fellow citizens.

Of course, this is all just a facade, as those who know Creed very well realize that he’s one of the most dispicable individuals out there. By name and definition, he’s a monster, having very little to no sorrow for any of the immoral deeds he commits, whether it’s stealing from those naìve enough to donate to his “fundraisers”, killing off street rats merely for getting in his way, tricking the poor unfortunate people into his debt, and perhaps his biggest crime to date, kidnapping the petrified King and Queen.

How They Change: In a way, Creed already has changed for the worst. In his youth, he simply wanted to belong into society, but was often singled out due to his father’s criminal status, to say nothing that he was a venomous species. After taking up the criminal lifestyle and becoming a prodigy, his father set him up and he ended up in prison. Since that day, Creed has learned that being as ruthless as possible was the only way to claw his way to the top.

In this day in age, he won’t ever change his ways. He’s become a negative flat character arc, rather than changing much himself, he influences/manipulates change around him for the worst.

Why You Love Them: Creed pretty much is everything I love in a villain; intelligent, sneaky, scheming, and lovably heartless (weird contradiction I know). It’s also worth noting that he didn’t start off as a monster, he was made into one, and that all comes from his upbringing and his environment.

———

Full Name: Zorlon Icestone

Gender: Cis Male

Sexuality: Straight

Species: Wizard? I’m not all too clear if that’s considered a race separate from humans or not.

Ethnicity: Caucasian American

Birthplace: An old mage temple on the outskirts of Gemina.

Birthdate: January 24th (he looks to be in his late 30’s to early 40’s, but is actually about 600 years old.)

Guilty Pleasures: Reading Harry Potter-Esque books

Phobias: Thanatophobia, more specifically he’s afraid of losing those close to him the same way he lost his wife and daughter.

What They Would Be Famous For: Being an Astromancer, thus a protector of the realm, he would easily be recognized as one of the best members in the astromancer academy.

What They Would Get Arrested For: Though he wouldn’t actively try to break the law in any shape or form, he likely would have been arrested for treason to the astromancer council if circumstances had gone differently in “Gems of The Past”

OC You Ship Them With: While I dont have another OC to ship Zorlon with, I have a confession to make. So my closest tumblr friends know I don’t actively ship characters, right? Well, I thought once or twice about shipping him with Queen Truefin, mostly for laughs but I also thought some chemistry could come out of it. I doubt it will be canon in my stories though.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: The only OC I have right now that would have intentions to murder Zorlon is Creed. However, that likely won’t happen, as both will rarely, if ever, meet.

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: History, though being 600 years old he would be very nitpicky about “historical accuracy”. He also likes the occasional adventure book/movie.

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Love Triangles

Talent and/or Powers: He is one of the most powerful astromancers in the realm, surpassing Nova Terron within 2 years. As such, he’s able to tap into extremely powerful magic. He’s also very well versed with melee combat with his magic staff, as years have granted him much battle experience, enabling to take down various foes. His advanced age also made him smart as a whip for anticipating his opponents attacks. Beyond that, he’s a very good teacher and is great at inspiring his students to push forward and keep on trying their hardest. Perhaps his greatest strength is his expansive knowledge and wisdom, which pretty much stands to reason given his advanced age and all that he’s seen in the world as a result.

Why Someone Might Love Them: Despite being a fierce warrior by necessity, Zorlon is a gentle soul who wants nothing more than to help those whom he can give guidance to. As such, he’s more fatherly toward his students and allows them to train at their own pace, his philosophy being that students should be allowed to grow as into their role as magic users.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: There are times when Zorlon can be strict when it comes to training, which can be off putting to some of the more brash and impulsive students assigned to him. Aside from that, most of the astromancers, Nova included, don’t get along well with him due to his ideals and his tendencies go against their wishes which tend to be sketchy at best.

How They Change: Again, in many respects, Zorlon has already changed. In his early youth, he was a rebellious teen adventurer, getting into all sorts of danger. As the years went by, he matured and became a loving husband and doting father. Upon losing his family, he entered a state of depression that seemed endless, to the point where one day he contemplated suicide, but ultimately he thought better of it. Once he met Malvaron and Tazma, he viewed it as a chance to start over, allowing him to grow more self assured yet more no nonsense as a result of his loss.

In this day in age, Zorlon is not likely to change his ways. Like Creed, he is a flat character arc, only in this case he influences positive change rather than changing much himself over the course of the series.

Why You Love Them: To this day, I consider Zorlon to be my best OC, for he’s the one I’ve dedicated the most time to developing than any other I’ve created in the past. Even if I’m tooting my own horn, what’s not to love? He’s kind, fatherly, wise, attentive, and will guide you every step of the way if you feel lost.

Phew, that kept me busy, but it was well worth my time. Thank you so much for the asks!

THE MONGOLS UNDER GENGHIS KHAN WAR AGAINST THE TURCO-MONGOL REALM OF KARA KHITAY, 1216–1218 CE:

The following is an excerpt from my post, “GENGHIS KHAN, THE STALLION WHO MOUNTS THE WORLD”.

The Turkish and Mongolian religion of Tengrism was a combination of ancestor worship, shamanism, animism (the belief that natural objects, natural phenomena, and the universe itself possess souls) and totemism (belief in kinship with or a mystical relationship between a group or an individual and a totem (a natural object or an animate being, as an animal or bird, assumed as the emblem of a clan, family, or group).

For the most part it was polytheistic (“many gods”) as they believed in many spirits and deities but some followers were monotheistic (“single god”) since they held Tengri, or ‘Munkh Khukh Tengri’ (“Eternal Blue Sky”), as their supreme god. Mongolians refer to Mongolia as ‘Munkh Khukh Tengriin Oron’, “Land of Eternal Blue Sky”. Although Tengrism was common place among the Turks and Mongols, they didn’t expect others to follow their religion. Only their supreme god Tengri could truly judge whether a man was righteous enough or not, despite one’s religion.

“We believe that there is only one God, by whom we live and by whom we die, and for whom we have an upright heart. But as God gives us the different fingers of the hand, so he gives to men diverse ways to approach Him.” – Mongke Khan (Fourth Khan, 1251–1259) during a religious debate in court. According to William of Rubruck (May 31, 1254).

“…Your saying ‘May [the Ilkhan] receive silam (baptism)’ is legitimate. We say: 'We the descendants of Genghis Khan, keeping our own proper Mongol identity, whether some receive silam or some don’t, that is only for Mongke Tengri (Eternal Heaven) to know (decide).’ People who have received silam and who, like you, have a truly honest heart and are pure, do not act against the religion and orders of the Eternal Tengri and of Misiqa (Messiah or Christ).

Regarding the other peoples, those who, forgetting the Eternal Tengri and disobeying him, are lying and stealing, are there not many of them? Now, you say that we have not received silam, you are offended and harbor thoughts of discontent. [But] if one prays to Eternal Tengri and carries righteous thoughts, it is as much as if he had received silam.” – From a letter sent from Arghun Khan of the Mongol Ilkhanate (1284–1291 CE) to Pope Nicholas IV (written May 14th, 1290).

Many steppe factions had already taken on other religions like Islam, Nestorianism (Christianity), Buddhism, and Manicheism. Their subjects were free to practice their religion, culture and laws but the Mongolian ‘Great Yasa’ (code of laws) came first. As Genghis Khan sought to unite his nation, he made it clear that people would be judged by their loyalty, diligence and skill rather than their lineage, ethnicity, culture and religion.

^ Osprey – ‘Men-at-Arms’ series, issue 295 – Imperial Chinese Armies (2): 590–1260 AD by CJ Peers and Michael Perry (Illustrator). Plate H: A Liao Council of War. H1: Khitan ordo cavalryman – “The famous Wen Ch’i scroll depicts a party of these ‘barbarians’ in the act of looting a Chinese house. It is thought that the scroll is based on an original of the Sung period, and that the models for figures were Khitan warriors. This man has removed his helmet, showing the soft cap worn underneath. He carries a mace as prescribed in the Liao Shih and illustrated in tomb paintings. Also carried were bows, spears and halberds. Jurchen, and even Mongol heavy cavalry, would have looked very similar. This source shows coats in various shades of brown, and trousers as brown or blue. The Jurchen favored bright colours such as red, yellow and white, and made much use of animal skins and furs. They arranged their hair in a pigtail and, like the later Manchus, imposed this style on their Chinese subjects as a sign of submission. Guards at the Kin (Jinn) court are said to have worn red or blue cuirasses, probably of lacquered leather.” H2: General – “This man is wearing a spectacular suit of gilded armour as depicted in the Wen Ch’i scroll, is obviously as high-ranking officer. On the scroll there are unarmoured figures shown in attendance, carrying pieces of his armour. They may therefore represent the ‘orderlies’ or ‘foragers’ who fought as lightly equipped cavalry in the Liao armies.” H3: Mongolian auxiliary.

Back in 1125 CE the Khitan (Sinicized Mongolians) Liao dynasty of northern China was overthrown and taken over by the Jurchens (Tungusic peoples who established the Jinn dynasty). From then on the Khitans lived primarily in what is now Manchuria (northern China, bordering modern Mongolia) but a portion of the Khitan under Yelu Dashi of the Liao dynasty fled westward over the Tien mountains into Central Asia where they were joined and augmented by neighboring Turkish tribes. The khanate they established became known as Kara Khitay (“Black-Cathay”) and encompassed modern Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, southern Kazakhstan and western China (Xinjiang).

Before warring with the Western Xia, Genghis Khan defeated the Naimans which were under the leadership of a man named Taibuqa who was their Tayang Khan. After Taibuqa Tayang Khan was killed, his son Kuchlug fled to Central Asia in 1208 CE where he met the Gur-Khan (Chief of Khans) of the Kara Khitan Khanate who welcomed him as they often did to Turkish and Mongol refugees. Kuchlug became the Gur-Khan’s adviser and in time married a daughter of his; his goals, however, were set much higher. The Shah of the Khwarezmian Empire (Turco-Persian) was already at war with the Gur-Khan of Kara Khitay so in 1211 CE Kuchlug allied himself with the shah, agreeing to split the khanate between the two of them. Eventually the Gur-Khan of Kara Khitay was captured, Kuchlug usurped the throne and the western portion of his new empire was given to the shah as promised.

^ Kara Khitay khanate c.1200 CE.

Now many steppe factions such as the Naimans, Kerayits, Merkits and the Mongols practiced Tengrism with mixtures of Tibetan Buddhism, Nestorian Christianity (Church of the East) and/or Manicheism (Persian religion dating back to the third century CE, dualistic belief in a war between good and evil. Christian and Gnostic influence). Kuchlug practiced Nestorian Christianity but was converted to Buddhism at the behest of his wife (the former Gur-Khan’s daughter). Kuchlug began to fear, and rightfully so, the shah and his rapidly expanding Islamic realm of Khwarezmia.

If the shah were ever to turn against Kuchlug, would Kuchlug‘s subjects (the majority of which were Muslim) side with the Kara Khitay or with the Islamic shah of Khwarezmia who claimed to be the ’Shadow of God on Earth’, Iskander (Alexander the Great), and the ‘Chosen Prince of Allah’. Kuchlug became Islamophobic and began a forced conversion policy in which his subjects had to either convert (to Buddhism or Nestorian Christianity) or begin donning Khitan garb. Kuchlug also banned public worship and calls to prayer.

“After Kuchlug had conquered Kashghar and Khotan and had abandoned the law of Christianity for the habit of idolatry, he charged the inhabitants of these parts to forsake their pure Hanafite faith for unclean heathendom, and to turn from the rays of the light of Guidance to the wilderness of infidelity and darkness, and from allegiance to a merciful King to subservience to an accursed Devil. And as this door would not give way, he kicked it with his foot; and by force they were compelled to don the garb and headdress of Error: the sound of worship and the iqamat was abolished and prayers and takbirs were hushed.” – Ala-ad-Din Ata-Malik Juvaini (1226–1283 CE), Persian historian and governor of Baghdad.

When Kuchlug left his capital of Balasagun, it rebelled and shut the gates to him. Kuchlug Gur-Khan then besieged it and, once captured, he razed the city. Due to his religious policies the city of Kashgar rebelled in 1213 CE, in response Kuchlug burned their harvest which led to severe starvation within the city. There was also an imam in the city of Khotan which criticized and embarrassed Kuchlug so he had the imam crucified to the door of said imam’s madrasa (Islamic educational institution).

“they crucified him (the imam) upon the door of his school which he had built in Khotan” – Ala-ad-Din Ata-Malik Juvaini (1226–1283 CE), Persian historian and governor of Baghdad.

^ Where Kuchlug’s capital of Balasagun once stood there are now only ruins, most popular are the remains of a 82 ft. tall (originally 148 ft. tall) minaret known as the Burana Tower which stands like an eerie echo of the past.

As a continuous flow of anti-Genghis nomads traveled to the Kara Khitay Khanate, the possibility of the Great Khan turning his gaze at the threat posed by his old foe’s growing power was inevitable. While Genghis was occupied campaigning against the Jinn dynasty of northern China, he had no interest in the Kara Khitay Khanate until Kuchlug made the great mistake of besieging the city of Almaliq, which were vassals of the Mongols. In response to the pleas of the cities of Balasagun, Kashgar, and Almaliq, Genghis decided to focus his attention towards this distant foe.

Genghis Khan sent Jebe, a general renowned for his skill in rapid and deep infiltrative operations, to invade the realm of Kara Khitay, execute Kuchlug, abstain from harming any one not allied with Kuchlug and spread the word that under Mongol rule all subjects would be allowed freedom of worship. Throughout Kara Khitay the settlements which were predominantly populated by Muslims massacred any pro-Kuchlug forces, voluntarily opening their gates to Jebe and sided with the Mongols. Kuchlug was caught, beheaded, had his head placed on a pole and then paraded.

Genghis’ promotion of meritocracy allowed him to easily place trust in his generals since he knew they were skilled and experience enough to act independently. The fact that Genghis could have his forces so spread apart and still function cohesively shows how effective the Mongols were in warfare. From 1217-18 the Mongols were fighting a war on many fronts: Muqali was in China warring with the Jinn, Jebe ventured across Central Asia in pursuit of Kuchlug to the borders of Badakhshan near the Oxus River (modern Amu Darya) while Subotai and Jochi were hunting down the rival Merkits (Mongols) north of the Jaxartes River (modern, Syr Darya).

^ The Aral Sea with the Oxus River (modern Amu Darya) running into it from the south while the Jaxartes (Syr Darya) River runs into it from its east.

Now that the Mongols held dominion over much of northern and northwestern China they were drowning in more goods than they’d ever need. The Mongols were at war with the Jinn and had no interest in going westward, but they were drawn there by fate it seems. This same fate would lead them into the Middle East and the very borders of Europe. Being that they were now the new overlords of the Central Asian khanate of Kara Khitay, the Mongols had access to the silk road’s routes from China to the rich lands of the Middle East. Here in Central Asia they faced a new threat posed by their neighbor, the ambitious and militant Turco-Persian empire of Khwarezmia. Future hostilities between the two would led to the deaths of millions, the destruction of some of the greatest centers of learning, culture and commerce.

Head over to my post, “GENGHIS KHAN, THE STALLION WHO MOUNTS THE WORLD”, to read more about how Genghis Khan was pressured into campaigning out of China toward Central Asia (Kara Khitai Khanate), to Greater Iran (Khwarezmian Empire), to the frontier of Eastern Europe (Medieval Russia and Ukraine) and back to China. I also cover Mongol shamanism and their tolerance of foreign religions, the famed ‘Yam’ pony express, their tactical use of captives and their massive deportation policy.

To read up on the early history of the Mongols, check out my post ‘THE MONGOLS AND THE RISE OF GENGHIS KHAN’. In this post I speak about the Mongolian transition from seemingly insignificant tribal confederacies into an empire that was four times the size of Alexander’s and twice the size of the Roman’s. I cover their military tactics, some of their battle formations, armaments, their rapid adaptation of foreign technologies, and their secretive order of bodyguards known as the Keshik. During Genghis Khan’s early reign the Mongols warred against themselves and their fellow steppe neighbors as well as Northern China’s Western Xia dynasty (Tanguts: Tibeto-Burmese) and eastern Jinn dynasty (Tungusic Jurchens who were Sinicized).

Ultimate Story Scrapbook-Page 65

OK, so I have posted on here something that I have called the 7 Perspectives. Here is what they are: Order-The leader of the Perspectives, makes all the final decisions involved with each situation Questioning-Makes the other perspectives think Obvious-Mentions things that the others need to know Experience-Bases judgment on what was known from past understandings Bravery-Encourages others to make decisions that need to be made regardless of hesitations Compassion-Reminds others the importance of caring about others Rage-The last resort, usually brings forth suggestions based on brute force if all other options are eliminated, also is someone that the others have to learn to control The 7 Perspectives act as a sort of counsel of the mystics. They are a group of mystic beings whose faces are never seen and they exist in a dimension of their own. They monitor the Universe in place of their master: The Great Wizard. They are very much a part of him. They are almost like different parts of his mind working in uni-some to decide how major issues are to be managed, such as the Shaman Emperor, protecting many worlds from the same Darkness that transformed Nikko and much, much more. The only person who had been able to speak to them face to face was the last Descendant of the Great Wizard: Professor Oak because he is the only one who knows how to reach their dimension. It is for their own protection as the Dark Wielders unsurprisingly want them destroyed. The 7 Perspectives have children of their own and each of their children take part in a counsel involving a very popular game that is played by a lot of teenagers on Earth. Their names are: Crellan, Hotekk, Amzem, Oron, Tirasis, Imthor and Chirrul

The Galactic Warriors

Authors Note- This is an RP fanfic between me and @marsooonie and I was somewhat inspired by doing this and also all characters belongs to @marsooonie and James belongs to me.

PROLOGUE.

As a homunculus I’ve been alive for how many years now? Eh, I lost track but I might be around 2,000 years old now or something. For decades, I’ve seen humanity evolve and seen evil rise in many forms, and yet though it always ends the same way: “Evil Guy Rises to Power, takes over for a couple of years, People or the Army find the Bad Guy and kill him or imprison him.” This time someone who takes over the entire galaxy. At first I thought: “Hell! Someone who actually had the balls to take over an entire galaxy with an iron fist.” But, was I wrong… it’s not fun when you should avoid getting caught by this guy.

His name was Ark, some guy who conquers the Thara Galaxy his people, planets, including gangs and even armies feared him. Urban legends say that one time Ark wiped out an entire army trying to invade his planet. He did have a lover… the empress of his planet went missing after a couple of years. Many people across the galaxies or maybe even universes tried looking for her but no sign. She was like a ghost.

Well.. I met that ghost. In this story I’m gonna tell ya how I met the empress. And how me and some friends of mine took on the galaxy without any fear. We were known as The Galactic Warriors.

Location: Zenith Galaxy, Planet Iona

On-Planet Location: Triglars Bar.

Time: 8:55 PM.

Oh yeah, I should definitely explain the Galaxies around us right. Ok, this Galaxy I’m in called the Zenith Galaxy. It’s one of the galaxies that is free from Arks reign… well the only galaxy that is free from Ark’s reign, it’s a safe zone for refugees from Ark’s planet, Traders, Criminals, etc. It’s a melting pot for all people. Including me a bounty hunter. Aaaand Lets get to the first person you’re gonna be meeting well me!!

Inside the bar a certain person was sitting watching the T.V seeing the same thing for someone to find the empress for Ark. Just hearing the voice of Ark just caused the person to just shrug and not even think of the offer.

Another person entered the bar and decided to sit next to the certain person in a calm manner.

“Mr. James Willow…” James’ Commissioner said.

“Ah, Yonaro. I was wondering when you were gonna get here.” James said

“Apologies. Arks men is here you know.” Yonaro replied.

“Damn. So whats the take this time?” James asked.

“It’s a very precious gem, on Planet N’Marzia. The last jewel of Oron that anyone will ever see and its in Arks hands I want you to steal it” Yonaro said.

“So going into enemy territory is a suicide mission by getting a gem that’s the only one as well. Fine by me. How many credits?” James asked.

“1,000,000 Credits” Yonora answered causing James to look at him with a smile.

“Oh, Yeah!!!!” James said leaving the bar and going to his space craft named “Ares” and getting on it flipping on switches starting up the engines as his ship floated off the ground and with one pull of the control the Ares blasted off out of the atmosphere and driving to the Warp Gate.

“Good luck Mr. Willow” Yonora said.

“Jumping into to warp to the Thara Galaxy in 5.” The Ares on-board A.I said as the spacecraft was covered in a protective aura.

“4” The A.I said as the Ares engines changed to its warp engine along with the outer boosters.

“3, 2” The intuitive AI said, with the Ares making a loud whirring sound

“1” The A.I said as the Ares entered the warp gate with a massive burst of speed”

CHRIST NEVER DIES BUT LIVES FOR EVER. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS:

* When you read, you will realize that the churches are enemies of Christ, because they say that Christ is dead and gone, until He comes back. Does God die? Know ye not that God never dies. That passage will confirm to you that Christ never dies, He continues to live for ever. Read that passage again.

* When they are told that He rose and many saw him. They are told that the Leader will not die, they are so crossed that they say since Christ died, he will die. I am asking you is Christ dead? I have told you that He died for only three days during which time He gained dominion over death and the hades, and collected all shaky things and cast them into the bottomless sea. Thereafter He resurrected, and now lives for ever.

* It is said that He died and after three days, He rose again and showed Himself to people for forty days. This means that He died for three days only. Why do the churches say that he had died? Does it mean that when somebody dies and resurrects, he will die again?

* He is now a living soul, living both in the flesh and in the spirit. He is very much in the world. He is now everywhere. He is in your house, He is here with you, you in the office, He is with you at the market, He is with you when in an airplane, He is with in the darkest night. He is talking to you, He is discussing with you, He is in the prison or custody with you. He is carrying out His spiritual work every moment of the day.

*He lives forever. If He were dead, would the world not perish? He is and making intercession for you. If He is God, are you saying that God dies? If He is the likeness of God, the Son of God, why do you say He died. He is a living God who does not die.

* When you go home show the portion to the Pope, the Bishop and the so-called church dignitaries who presume that Christ has died and can only be seen when He comes back, that He is at the right hand of God in Heaven. That passage confirms to you that Christ never dies but lives for ever.

CHRIST NEVER DIES BUT LIVES FOR EVER.

HEBREWS 7:25-26 "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them For such an high priest became us, who is Holy, harmless, undefiled separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens."

Before the civil war in Nigeria a Brotherhood outside this fold, testified that if the Sole Spiritual Head went out to preach, all the churches would close down. This is true. If I should decide to go you now, the police would not be able to control traffic. Many people would come out to catch a glimpse of the Leader, the whole town would shake. But I will not go out to any place to avoid trouble.

If the Father were to move to Oron, there would be a lot of commotion from all sections of the society, the police would go to see Him if only to know Him; others would want to catch a glimpse se of Him. The Brotherhood members in Calabar, Odukpani and Akamkpa would want to move with Him to Oron in case He does not return to Calabar. People from the mainland part of the state would come to Oron to know why the Leader has decided to move to Oron.

JOHN 10:2--5, "But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep; To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out; And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice; And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers."

The churches have devised all means to keep the population of their church, but members are fed up, no person is interested again, their members no longer know their voices. The churches which hitherto were not used to drumming, have now started to use drums, timbrel, trumpet, psaltery and harp, stringed instruments, organs and cymbals to attract their back-sliding members, but these people are no longer interested in sound instrument. They even serve communion at their member's residence still, they are not interested.

People now prefer to attend the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. They also come to your house to try to persuade you not to continue here, and promise you several things, but you are not interested. They also complain bitterly about the highly educated men in Brotherhood, who allow themselves to be deceived by the Leader.

When you read, you will realize that the churches are enemies of Christ, because they say that Christ is dead and gone, until He comes back. Does God die? Know ye not that God never dies. That passage will confirm to you that Christ never dies, He continues to live for ever. Read that passage again.

When you go home show the portion to the Pope, the Bishop and the so-called church dignitaries who presume that Christ has died and can only be seen when He comes back, that He is at the right hand of God in Heaven. That passage confirms to you that Christ never dies but lives for ever.

Does it mean that the churches have never read that passage, or whether they cannot interpret what is in that passage?

It is said that He died and after three days, He rose again and showed Himself to people for forty days. This means that He died for three days only. Why do the churches say that he had died? Does it mean that when somebody dies and resurrects, he will die again?

When they are told that He rose and many saw him. They are told that the Leader will not die, they are so crossed that they say since Christ died, he will die. I am asking you is Christ dead? I have told you that He died for only three days during which time He gained dominion over death and the hades, and collected all shaky things and cast them into the bottomless sea. Thereafter He resurrected, and now lives for ever.

He is now a living soul, living both in the flesh and in the spirit. He is very much in the world. He is now everywhere. He is in your house, He is here with you, you in the office, He is with you at the market, He is with you when in an airplane, He is with in the darkest night. He is talking to you, He is discussing with you, He is in the prison or custody with you. He is carrying out His spiritual work every moment of the day.

He lives forever. If He were dead, would the world not perish? He is and making intercession for you. If He is God, are you saying that God dies? If He is the likeness of God, the Son of God, why do you say He died. He is a living God who does not die.

It is the handiwork of the church denominations or anti-Christ who spread false doctrine, who indoctrinated you, and who brainwashed you that Christ died. The Bible has confirmed that he is living, but the Satans are preaching that He had died.

Some people say now that Jesus Christ has come back again, where did he go to? He has always been with us. If a man is travelling to Port Harcourt, he can decide to travel by air, he will go to Calabar airport, enters a plane which flies thousands of kilometers above sea level. The plane lands at Port-Harcourt and he decides after transacting his business, to travel by road back to Calabar.

Does it mean that since he travels by road he will not get back to Calabar? Does it mean that he is still in the air? Will you continue to look at the sky to see when he will fly back in plane? The man has travelled back to Calabar and is singing and dancing, eating and doing all sorts of things, but you are looking at the sky to see when he will fly back from Port Hartcourt.

Who would voluntarily die on behalf of the people and then would leave the people behind on earth and go to stay in Heaven? What is He there for? Why would He not come to stay and care for the people he redeemed?

JOHN 14: 18 --20, "I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you; Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall live also; At that day ye, shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

Go out to the world and bring in people from all walks of life; Bishops, Pastors, Civil Servants, Civil Commissioners, Company Executives, business tycoons, the sick, the lame, the poor and all sorts of people to hear the word of God, even though they inadvertently believe that we in Brotherhood do not use the same Bible as they use, and that you are being deceived.

Yet we all are using the same Bible. They allege that Brotherhood is witchcraft, it is ghost or mermaid, it is beelzebub.

Where did Christ go to? Who killed him? Up till today, many people in Brotherhood still pray "Till Christ comes back again." They are looking at the sky to see when He will come back. Notice that passage when He says "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come back to you; A little while the world sees me no more but ye see me because I live and you live also; because I am in the Father and you in me and I in you."

He has never left you an inch; He is before and behind you. He is all around you.

Do you believe for 1980 years since Christ left you that He is in the sky? What is He doing there? Under whose care has He left you? Is He not a human being? Is God not a human being? How can He afford to desert you? He has not left you like a sheep without a shepherd. Why should He not take care of you? Why should He not cater for you? Why should he not protect you?

It is this mistaken belief that has lead many a man to find protection in other means as they say heaven helps those who help themselves, and for that reason they become entangled in the work of darkness. What is called Heaven? It is up there. It is a Hebrew language, the other division they call the earth.

You pray our Father who is in heaven, why is He there? Have you not been told in the scriptures that heaven is the throne and earth is the footstool. This earth is where you walk on, dance on and do everything on.

Now you have heard what He has said before ever He was crucified, that He will not leave you comfortless, He will come back onto you. He died for only three days, after that He rose again and has come back to you as He promised and ever since He returned to you, He has not gone anywhere else. He is here with you conversing, eating and doing everything with you. The worldly people do not see Him but the children of God have always seen Him, they have been seeing Him from time immemorial in both the physical and spiritual forms.

Let me confirm again that our Lord Jesus Christ is living with us, to make your assurance doubly sure:

MATTHEW 28:20, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, the even unto the end of the world - Amen."

I shall confirm again that statement:--

HEBREWS 1:7-12 "And of the angels tie saith, who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire; But unto the Son, he saith, thy throne! God is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness, is the scepter of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity, therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows; And, thou Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands; They shall perish; but thou remainest and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."

Have you heard that lesson. I always tell you that I am not Jesus. There are no two Jesuses, there is only one. He does not die, He is here doing the work of love -- interceding for us all. My blessing remain with and forever more Amen.

I had the urge to get my thoughts a bit organized about him and all so this is a try to somehow get any kind of structure down and written.

Soooo I have not ever spend a lot of thought into any kind of background story so all I can provide is some loose shit I improvise right this moment from my gut feeling!

•⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •

Oron had been a little black breasted leaf turtle, kept as a pet from some random New Yorker, until an Oozquito found it's way into the appartment. The result was a very curious and mobile mutant turtle, finding it's way out of the appartment and into the street of the city.

Due to his curious nature, and missing sense of danger, he crawled his way thru the alleys and roads, miraculously without hurting himself or being spotted.

Until one day, while rummaging thru some interesting looking trash, which had been glowing so delightfully, made him fall down into the depth of the hidden city~

There, not far away from the big pile of human junk, had been Mika, looking for some goods to sell, and heard the chirps and thrills of the little turtle.

Not knowing what else to do, now that he actually found the abandoned child, he decided to keep it, not having the heart to just turn around and leave.

Quite fast, the outgoing nature and curiosity of the little guy proved to be very challenging, especially if you try to keep your own profile as low as possible. Not aiding to that situation had been the, for Mika incomprehensible, fascination of Oron for insects.

He's loosing Oron multiple times on a daily basis due to him running after some bug he saw scurrying around a corner. The strong stubbornness of the little turtle prevented any kind of conditioning or reasoning, to just let the disgusting bugs be, so Mika just had to accept that feature of his small companion at one point.

The only incedent actually teaching Oron a lesson had been, when he ran into the dog of a bounty hunter after following a pretty looking butterfly, and almost got used as a chew toy as consequence. Mika fortunately had been there in time, before any big physical damage had been done.

Another obstacle, is the fact that the little guy relentlessly refuses to learn any kind of speaking. The only words he ever uses, are Mikas and his own name, but no other words have left his lips so far. It took Mika a good chunk of time to fully get back into the chirping and churring knowledge, but by now he is able to fully understand every sound Oron makes.

A quite helpful quirk of Oron is that he is naturally able to handle cold temperatures quite well and doesn't need as much warmth as Mika to prevent himself from hibernating, leaving the warmer blankets to the often freezing one while sleeping in the alleys of the hidden city.

Very late, after meeting the 4 Hamato brothers, Mika actually got the information from Donnie that Oron is, biologically speaking, a female turtle. Mika didn't knew how to tell the difference, just taking a 50/50 guess, and Oron himself didn't knew the concept of female and male. It also doesn't really bother Oron either being called she or he, but he got used to the pronouns he/him, which Mika uses for him, so he feels most familiar with those.

•⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •

ALRIGHTY

That's all my thoughts so far.

I def wanna do smth like that again for Mika, but I think that's gonna take a little while ~

I hope ANY of that make sense and WOW you actually are still reading this?!

Here, take a cookie as treat 🍪 ...
