Alastair Abrams was the adopted son of the famous pioneers of LGBT awareness in SimWorld. A writer-activist like one of his dads, Alastair aims to continue the legacy his fathers left him to preserve. He works with a non-profit organization that funds free psychological services of troubled LGBT youths and legal representations for extreme cases. His contribution is to write research and feature articles that highlight the struggles of the LGBT community in the society to further the cause through information and education of the public through real and authentic cases.

When Alastair was adopted by his gay dads, he was around five years of age. People say that his gay dads turned him gay when they adopted him and that was an immoral influence over an innocent child. From this point forward, the Abrams household have been a controversial family in the conservative town of Newcrest. His fathers did not tolerate this discrimination and spearheaded one of the first notable celebrations of Pride. Both of his parents urged and proposed an ordinance to prohibit discrimination against LGBT individuals. The arguments were long and exhaustive against a mostly conservative line of councilpersons. Alastair was awakened to a pressing and objectifying social issue at a very young age. He saw the fight his fathers had trudged through just to protect them and give them an opportunity to have a safe and legally secure lives. Newcrest was the first town in SimCity to make discrimination against the LGBT community a crime. To this, Alastair sought to it to make it his responsibility to enforce this law and be vigilant against hate crimes. Despite being only a high school student at that time, Alastair has inherited the passion and grit his parents had shown him as he grew up. He embraced his identity as the son of the only gay couple in Newcrest and he wanted to establish that image further to be an icon himself of Pride and the LGBT community.

Despite rumors and backlash against his fathers’ influence that made him gay, Alastair realized his sexuality differently from this narrative. Alastair never had crushes in elementary. He had a few friends, but no one knew who he fancied in class. Alastair also did not take this aspect of development seriously. He focused on his artistic passion and his aspiration to become a writer in the future. He was a serious, steadfast and a no-nonsense kind of boy who performed well in his academic endeavors. His classmates did not pay him much attention as his reputation had sent several students to detention and sanctions for laying him a finger or verbally assaulting him at the slightest. Alastair used justice to protect him and in that alone he laid his faith. Perhaps it was the unsafe environment that kept Alastair out of normal and ideal development because he was vigilant towards the injustices he saw from his fathers’ battle against a massive social issue. He and his fathers were focused on keeping them safe from hate crimes and those who opposed their liberated mindset in the town. It pressured him to look inwards and make his life more visible but at the same time, safe and sound.

At the start of his high school journey, Alastair was terrified to the new set of classmates he would meet. He was afraid to be the only different kid in the entire batch, but at the same time, he felt it was a chance to be a pioneer on his own right. He feigned bravery the first day and entered the classroom with his head held high. No one paid him any attention and he just felt lost in a rowdy crowd of adolescents like him. However at the farthest corner of the classroom where it was seemingly quiet, there was a boy who caught his attention. He was sitting alone, reading his book. It was the first time his heart beat differently out of a newfound fascination over someone. This boy was rather plain and could easily be lost in a group of people but that in itself made him distinguishable in a room filled with extraverted teenagers.

Alastair introduced himself to Jacob and sat beside him to enjoy the backseats where the noise from the front row popular kids cannot reach them. Alastair felt giddy to be seated beside Jacob that day and for the rest of the days to come through the year. Their interactions were all profoundly interesting. They shared the same likes and dislikes and Jacob was even more fun to be with when he would talk about fashion and couture. Alastair found to enjoy a novel nature of happiness when he was with Jacob. He’d be staring at him as Jacob would talk and share his day as if Alastair could completely immerse himself in the space he shared with Jacob in the farthest row. It took him a year to conclude his feelings for him and his sexuality as well. Even though he knew he was gay, and that he had deep romantic feelings for Jacob, Alastair never said a word to his dear friend. It broke his heart when Lance, one of the devious high school bullies, came out to the entire batch and declared Jacob to be his prom date. Alastair’s fears to be rejected by the first person that mattered to him dearly in that way deprived him of the possibility Lance was courageous enough to grab.

High school ended with Jacob still being a dear friend, and Alastair being the steadfast and serious student he always were. Nothing changed and that was the opposite of what his fathers’ endeavors were for. People should be free and have the courage to love who they want to love, but Alastair failed to proliferate that for his own life. He kept quiet and let the fear devour his hopes to pursue the first attraction he ever had for someone else. Alastair tried to move on during college by distancing himself from Jacob through the years. It did work well for him as he was able to graduate college with the highest honors. However when he received invitations for Jacob and Lance’s wedding, his wounds reopened under the thick scars that hid his pain.

With nothing else to distract him from the events, Alastair decided to immerse himself in volunteering activities and his stride to achieve equality with the LGBT community. He focused on his advocacy and launched his own projects to help the organization he worked for. The reverence and recognitions rekindled the fire he witnessed his two gay dads had before. At that time, his fathers motivation was rooted to their love for their adopted son; to be protected and respected by the society as who he is. Alastair’s footsteps came from a different origin. He figured that maybe if he just wasn’t scared at all before, that he also took time to understand what really being gay meant for himself, than just reading about it and watching LGBT issues from the media, then maybe he could have had a fruitful relationship with the first guy he ever liked. He was lost in his own advocacy that the small things got lost in the narrative. His dads knew what they were doing and where their tree grew tall and towering. At the height of that tree, Alastair witnessed the bigger picture and the expanse of the community that needed their own representations. He forgot his own to go own and plant his inspiration for himself when he first realized his sexuality. Alastair may have started late in that acceptance and acknowledgement, but he believed that it was still an effort worth making.

Alastair’s parents died when he was in college so he inherited their house back in Newcrest. It was relatively big and had to have an enormous amount of money to be renovated to his style. It was a good thing that his dads left him a good sum to start his own life fresh and new. After the renovations, Alastair remodeled the house and invited his best friend Miko to move in with him. For the next few years, he continued his efforts to educate people of the LGBT culture and teach empathy and acceptance to parents who need guidance for their children who come out as an LGBT person. Alastair wanted to start fresh like his fathers envisioned him to, and while he wanted to actualize it for himself, seeing Jacob occasionally become a haunting tragedy of a what-if that started in high school. He ponders to confess, but it just bred another kind of fear he thought he had relieved himself from.

He tried dating other guys, but his attempts always left him alone and wanting more of that intimate connection. Years had passed by and people he knew in high school have started their own families in good marriages. Alastair lost the race to secure a deep-seated relationship with a significant other. He went back to online dating and not so long after browsing other users, a spectacled Glimmerbrook resident caught his eye. Despite feeling hopeful about his first date, Alastair saw Thomax Boykin as somehow quieter and more reserved than he wanted his guys. Thomax was shy and tremendously less flamboyant than the men Alastair had gone out with. Nonetheless, there was someone between them that established their boundaries, but at the same time connected their stories together. Dating Thomax was rather slow, but steady. Alastair was scared that all these times would be for naught in the end, but he couldn’t give up for the progress he had had. After some reflection and tons of rumination with his best friend Miko, Alastair placed all his bets on making the most of the present with Thomax and displace that hopefulness he had for Jacob to someone who was actually available for him. If there was one thing that his dads always personified in his life, it was hope for a better future, and if his dads could spend the majority of their lives securing that future for the son they loved the most, then he could have the same love for himself and the same hope for the future his dads have fought for.

Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş

Age: Immortal (Physically Early Adulthood) Aliases: Alucard Fahrenheit Ţepeş, Genya Arikado Date of Birth: 10/31/1456 Place of Birth: Transylvania, Romania Occupation: Vampire Prince, Vampire Hunter Species: Dhampir

(Combined anime and video game canons, defer primarily to the anime)

Appearance Pale and presumed sickly, like all Dhampir, Alucard’s appearance is often regarded as haunting, with similar angular features and a naturally handsome appearance. Though some qualities of his face are less exaggerated, such as a less prominent noise, and slightly softer shapes. Alucard wears his hair long, brushed back, and falling freely in a way that frames his face. His hair color is a similar platinum blonde to his mother’s, with eyes of a similar color.

In typical vampire flair, Alucard often dresses in finery, particularly favoring long cloaks and capes, as well as the color black. His clothing is often intricate in design, and finely crafted, accompanying his regal bearing nicely. This creates a contrast between his garments and alabaster skin. Unlike his father, Alucard prefers to keep cleanly shaven. Notably, Alucard still possesses the fangs and pointed ears typical of a vampire, though they aren’t as large as the likes of his father’s, and in the case of the former are often accused of being more ornamental than practical, though with a thought he is able to extend them, and bring them to a size that matches a full-blooded or turned vampire.

Despite being very thin, Alucard’s actual build is very muscular, reflecting his body’s superhuman strength and agility.

Personality Aloof and cool-headed, many believe Alucard to have a certain detachment from the world in a fashion similar to his father, or how humans assume vampires to be. And while this coldness towards humans is largely the case, this is a result of his mother’s death at the hands of a Christian Order. Due to his nature as a Dhampir, Adrian tries his best to remain detached from even those close to him, as he feels his and his father’s conditions were the cause of Lisa’s death, and this is simply the nature of their existence; to lose those that they love for being creatures of the night, despite their sapience.

Pessimistic and strongly determined, Alucard has made it his personal mission in life to stop his father’s plots, and curb the domination of the world by the creatures of night. Though, he largely is indifferent towards threats that don’t stem from a vampiric leader, or make use of vampires themselves.

Despite his aloof nature, Adrian is known for being very calm and kind, being slow to anger, even in the heat of battle, often showing mercy to humans, despite what they’ve done to hurt his heart in the past. While he’s known to take justice seriously, believing like his father that blood should be spilled in retaliation for his mother’s death, he doesn’t believe that the innocent humans who had nothing to do with it should die for the actions of one bishop and his mob.

Although a man of intelligence, Alucard’s respect is always lent to those who are strong, have bravery, and are firm in their convictions. This allows him to give some measure of respect to even the likes of Trevor Belmont, and his own father, allowing him to treat them with the appropriate caution, regardless of his personal feelings towards them.

Biography Alucard was born as Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş to Vladimir Dracula Ţepeş and his wife Lisa Fahrenheit, in the 1450s, growing up in the Romanian countryside until his teenage years. Growing up initially in Dracula’s castle, Adrian was often exposed to things of a dark and frightening nature, which would prove to steel him against the horrors of the night from an early age, though he would not grow up without the affection of his parents. From his parents he grew up with a wealth of education, being taught many things along the lines of medicine and magic by his father, and a respect and inquisitiveness for the sciences from Lisa. Many believe that Alucard’s percieved “softness” as a vampire is directly the fault of Lisa and how she reared the young dhampir.

During his early adolescence the family would move into a cottage on the outskirts of Targoviste, the city in which he would spend some time apprenticing as a bookbinder, while his mother worked as a doctor. It was during this time as well that Lisa would ask Vladimir to travel abroad, beyond Romania, and learn of humanity, their worth, and the reasons for why they deserved the benefits of his knowledge. However, in 1475, after some years of suspicious murmurings being rallied into a cry for blood by the area’s bishop, a mob would spring upon the cottage in the dead of night, during the time of day in which Adrian was typically working for his master, under the guise of being an albino, and would lynch Lisa. While he did not bear witness to the burning of their home, he did see Lisa’s burning at the stake, and very nearly acted upon his worst impulses in the moments of her death, only stopping himself upon hearing her words, beseeching Vladimir to not take revenge for their ignorance.

As Adrian tried to convince his father to reconsider the intended actions of wiping out humanity, it quickly became evident that the two were inherently incompatible in this ideal. Despite having Lisa’s dying words behind him, they still came to blows. It was during this battle that Adrian would be injured, and he would be forced to retreat, hiding himself in Wallachia, beneath Gresit. It was at this time that the dhampir decided to take an ideology opposite to that of his father’s, protecting humanity from the night, and reversing his name to go by “Alucard” as an indication of this.

Abilities and Skills -Intelligence: Naturally keen, thanks to his father and mother, Alucard is an intellectual. Despite not being as learned as his father, he was able to, with the assistance of Sypha and some research, was able to seal off Dracula’s castle effectively. With access to the Belmont library, and Castelvania itself, he has become learned at a similar level to Dracula. Preferring the life of a scholar, Alucard often favors study over combat, and will seek avenues beyond violence to resolve issues, unless they involve vampires.

-Swordplay: A master of combat, Alucard is particularly skilled with the blade. When fighting against other skilled fighters, who may use traditional or unorthodox styles, or even a rapid mixture as was the case with Trevor Belmont, he is able to hold his own with ease in many cases.

-Bookbinding: Having apprenticed for several years as a bookbinder, Alucard is capable of binding books in a masterful way, so as to ultimately record any of his research, or new information that he comes upon.

Superhuman Powers and Abilities -Dhampir Physiology: As the son of a vampire and a human, Alucard is physically capable in an excess far beyond that of what humans may naturally achieve. --Superhuman Strength: Alucard’s physical strength is such that he can easily send large men flying with a single hand. Additionally, he can effortlessly move boulders, and is strong enough to injure Dracula without the aid of weaponry, though in return he is far weaker than the other vampire, and presumably most vampires who aren’t considered weak themselves. --Superhuman Speed: Much like his strength, Alucard is much faster than any normal human, moving so quickly that human eyes have a difficult time tracking his movement, only managing to perceive dwindling images in the wake of said movement. Many regard his speed as more akin to teleportation than actual speed, and he is faster than many other vampires, though not as much so as his father. --Superhuman Agility: This case is similar to his speed, Alucard is extremely deft and is able to move in complex and graceful ways, seemingly with little effort. This makes him particularly difficult to strike directly, and allows him to close the gap caused by other, stronger, monsters, while also allowing him to more easily overpower humans. He’s able to utilize this to frightening effect when combating a foe, notably by blocking an enemies attack, only to seemingly appear from nowhere behind them for an attack of his own. --Superhuman Endurance: Alucard does not seem to tire easily, and engages in long battles. This is also notably in his battle with Dracula, particularly in his ability to quickly recover from fatigue and injury to return to the heat of combat. It’s presumed that due to his physicality he may simply not fatigue at all, without injury. --Superhuman Durability: Humans are unable to injure Alucard in any significant way without weaponry. This is notable when Trevor Belmont, a particularly strong human, kicked him in the genitals to little effect. Blades, other vampires, and such types of attacks seem able to injure Alucard, though, preventing him from being truly reckless. It is noted, though, that even mortal wounds, for humans, cannot singularly bring down the dhampir, and presumably he must suffer extensive injury, or be decapitated, in order to be killed. --Superhuman Regenerative Factor: When injured, Alucard is able to quickly recover from them as any vampire might. His wounds can recover almost instantaneously if they’re superficial, or are not fatal. In less than a year, Alucard was able to recover from a fatal wound dealt by his father. He cannot seem to recover in the heat of battle, though, as his regeneration seems to derive from concentration, meaning that Alucard can allow himself to be killed, and that if he’s pressed in battle it may be easier to kill him.

-Magic: Taught the discipline of magic by his father, Alucard tends to use the dark magics that he was once taught, though with an opinion that magic is a tool, and cannot be inherently evil if used for good purposes. His powers are considered inferior to his father’s, though, and so he cannot solely rely on it. He has mastered most of the offensive magic that Dracula could use, such as Hellfire, Dark Metamorphosis, Tetra Spirit, and Soul Steal. Through his magic he can also alter his own appearance. Though he uses his magic for good, he cannot use it to heal others, and it seems that the majority of his magic tends to be oriented around combat. --Levitation: Through magical means, Alucard is able to negate the force of gravity, flying as he wills it with precision, and at high speeds. This ability seems to require little focus, as he’s able to do so in the heat of combat with both Trevor, a challenge, and Dracula, a vampire who is ultimately more powerful than himself. --Telekinesis: With a thought, Alucard is able to move objects through the air. He does this with both light things, and to manipulate his sword in combat. One application that he enjoys is fighting multiple foes by keeping the weapon suspended in the air, slicing and parrying without his hands, as he faces other threats. When dueling, he can also use his telekinesis to further shore the force with which his blade moves, though this doesn’t serve as a perfect substitute for his natural strength. --Summoning: Through channeling his magical energy into Relic Cards, he can summon many different creatures as depicted on those cards.

-Shapeshifting: Without the aid of magic, Alucard is able to change himself into several alternative forms, such as a wolf, a bat, or a shroud of mist. These forms are greater in power than their natural abilities would imply, though, and their abilities seem similarly superhuman when compared to that of their counterparts. For example, his wolf form is so fast that it can outrun a fired bullet, his bat form can shoot fireballs, and his shroud of mist is a toxic vapor that can kill targets when overexposed. Notably, he has another form that he uses when petrified, becoming a solid stone gargoyle that is naturally resistant to most forms of attack. This form is draining to him, though, and so he refrains from its use in most circumstances. Another version of his bat form allows him to take the shape of many bats, though they do not retain the ability to magically attack as does the case with a single bat, and like his gargoyle form, he quickly grows fatigued with its use.

-Superhuman Senses: As a dhampir, Alucard’s olfactory sense is very keen in regards to blood. He is able to recognize someone from the Belmont clan simply by being in the presence of their blood. Similarly, he can easily determine and discern the presence and location of blood, with no visual or auditory cue.

Weaknesses and Limitations -Running Water: As-is typical for vampires, dhampirs are unable to cross running water, or submerge themselves in moving water. While this doesn’t prevent him from bathing it can prove to be an annoyance at the least.

-Solar Aversion: While it will not have the same effects on him as a typical vampire, Alucard is averse to sunlight, its presence making him uncomfortable, akin to having a sunburn that hurts at all times.

-Energy Dependence: Like humans and vampires both, Alucard needs to sustain himself. While food is suitable, it doesn’t serve as an efficient replacement for blood, though Alucard notably does not have to drink blood to benefit from its life energy. Instead, he is able to directly consume the lifeforce of others through magical means, and often does so with rats, wolves, and other creatures that are regarded as more susceptible to evil forces, as they provide him with greater nourishment. He has drank blood on one occasion, but has since then sworn it off, as this instance was not consensual.

Equipment and Support Gear -Fahrenheit Wahrheit: (roughly. Truth in Experience) An heirloom blade of the Fahrenheit Family, Adrian inherited this weapon from his mother. It is a longsword of longer than 4 feet in length, with a very thin blade. This sword’s type is an estoc, which was first seen in use during the 14th century, and was still popular in use during the 15th century, in which Alucard fought his war against his father. A traditional estoc is designed to fight against plate and chain-mail, usually with only a stabbing tip, though this one has been designed with a cutting edge as well, at which Alucard is notably skilled in the use of utilizing. Its handle, like other estocs, are made with sufficient grip for two hands, though Alucard most commonly uses it with a single hand. Either as a component of the sword’s original design, or just as likely due to modifications later by himself or his father, when Alucard makes use of the sword it remains durable enough to sustain itself despite the power of his blows, and in fact seems to change lengths, making a strong case for the sword having been either reforged with a more durable material, and then being magically enhanced, or more likely solely the latter. Another argument for the case of magical enhancement is that Alucard is able to literally teleport himself with the use of this sword in short distances, often using it to appear behind a foe.

-Alucard’s Shield: A magically enhanced shield that Alucard also inherited from his mother. This shield’s properties allow him to deflect almost every form of attack in brief moments, by channeling magical energy through it. However, with the assistance of a certain magical rod, Alucard can also create a blast of concentrated light that can vanquish most creatures of the night on contact. This shield is rarely on his person, though, as it slows Alucard’s movements down, negating one of his greatest advantages when fighting stronger opponents.

-Alucard’s Mail Armor: A suit of armor that Alucard owns, though much like his shield he rarely wears it. This armor is known for being highly resistant to attack, and can in fact resist many forms of magical attack as well. The reason he frequently forgoes its use is the same as why he sets aside the Fahrenheit family shield.

-Dragon’s Helmet: A mask and helmet designed by Alucard himself. An enchantment in it allows Alucard to imbue fear into creatures of the night specifically, by causing him to appear as the effigy of a great dragon. This helmet helps little against sapient creatures of the night, though, who can see through the illusion.

-Midnight Mantle: A cloak that he was given to him by his father, Alucard’s cloak is notably able to resist magical attacks, and through channeling energy into it, like much of his magical equipment, he is able to shore its defensive properties even more. Distinctly unique is this cloak’s enhanced resistance to dark magic, and apparent ability to save Alucard’s life by a narrow degree, seemingly granting him uncanny luck for short periods.

Oh, and Hestia and 11 for Harry Potter asks!

11: who's your favorite non-human character?

To be honest, my favorite non-human character is either Dobby or Aragog.

Hestia: describe your ideal house

I actually had a friend ask me this the other day and it's quite long. But the short of it is a 2 story, stone cottage that looks like a witch hovel.

Scene

You turn off the street through a rod iron, ivy covered gate, Down a treelined rough brick drive, the house is hidden from the road by trees and the gate that is half cobblestone half rod iron with ivy spilling over the top in spots. The house is seemingly placed on a pedistul with rock stairs built into the hill from the drive that leads to a rock path through the small lawn that is littered with purple thyme and wildflowers that grow about ankle height.

Surrounding the house is a small cluttered garden of herbs and flowers purposefully creating a wild forest of witchy and homeopathic ingredients that smell divine. There is a well positioned porch that wraps around the opposite side of the house with more potted plants littering around a few chairs and an end table which holds a vintage bed warmer being used as an ashtray. The front door is purple and rounded at the top. With 2 mini windows in it and iron support bars acrost the wooden panelling.

Inside the front door there is a little stone tile entryway with shoes littering the wall to the right behind the door with hooks for coats . To the left there is a small table against the parallel wall with mail and a bowl for keys and an umbrella stand with hats and scarves and leashes for the animals. Passed the entryway the floor changes to older wood flooring, at the end of the wall to the right opens to the dining room with a rough cut, viking style, repurposed wood table with 8 chairs atop an area rug. The table has a hidden leaf to accommodate the 4 chairs stored at various places against the walls of the room. There is a beautiful Victorian style China cabinet filled with a variety of different china patterns on the far wall. There is a buffet table on the adjacent wall (across from the large window that faces the lawn) with a lovely doily runner and dried flowers displayed with tall candlesticks on either side and a crystal candy dish on one side filled with butterscotch and peppermint candies. There is a sliding pocket door beside the buffet table that leads to the kitchen.

The kitchen is a moderate size with vintage tins for each bulk ingredient, drying herbs and flowers hanging all around. There is more ivy growing around the cabinets, which have fogged glass doors, and the bottom cabinets have curtains. There is a garden sink with a window looking out to the wrap around porch and an island in the middle with a grate hanging above it which stores baking pans and hangs pots/pans and various other things. There is a door way to the left of the door you just came through that leads back to the hallway and a walk-in pantry to the right with a hidden root veggie and wine storage beneath a trap door in the floorboard. On the opposite wall of the pocket door you just came through between the oven and the refrigerator, there is a farm door that leads out to the back part of the porch with a secondary screen door.

Going through the door to the left you're back in the entryway/hallway where you can see into the open livingroom passed the bottom of the stairs. Beneath the stairs there is the half bath, a simple toilet and sink set up. The livingroom has a small library in the front of the house surrounding a bay window that doubles as a comfy reading nook crapped in vintage lace curtains. (There is no TV!) There is a wood burning fireplace in the center of the far wall an alter is set up on the mantle with a swing arm that holds my cauldron over the fire fronted by a couple of wingback chairs. To the right further in the house there is a Victorian style couch with a small but long coffee table (with floor pillows stored underneath) facing a TV mounted to the wall surrounded by mounted gaming systems and music system complete with record player. In the corner there is a closet with records, movies, internet router, board games, blankets, and other various things.

Up the wooden stairs the floor the center of the layout is hall with 5 doors. The hallway in the upper floor curls to the left. And there are 2 doors on the left, one ahead, and 2 on the right wall and on at the end of the hall to the left. The closest door is at the top of the stairs to the right. Which leads to an office/library/craft room with shelf's lining the walls except the wall with the window which has a work desk that houses my computer, various printers (3d philament/resin, ink, and graphite), and the scanner. There is a closet to the far right which houses various tools, fabric, etc. In the middle of the room is another work table that looks more like an oversized cutting mat with a few chairs and stools surrounding it. Looks like we've had more than a few paint and marker fights over it. There is a rocking chair in the corner with a small foot stool that has a lovely crochet throw over it for reading when I don't want to go downstairs.

Back in the hall the next door is a full bathroom which has a lovely larger than standard tub in it with a small cabinet over the toilet and a farmhouse washing basin style sink. It is more of a vintage meets farmhouse style guest bathroom. With tile flooring and a small window with a stained glass. There are a few hooks for towels behind the door and on the wall beside the tub for easy access. A few small fluffy rugs to keep people from leaving puddles on the floor. The curtain for the tub is wrap around with some sort of quilted pattern on it. It's not a huge room but is big enough to bathe the baby while your teenager tries to fix their eyeliner in the mirror. Lol

(All of the floors are wood with at least one area rug in it to accent the color or mood of the room)

The next door you come too is a guest bedroom. It is about the size of the office with a queen sized bed pushed almost against the far right corner. There is a small end table with a lamp allowing for a bit of walking room between the bed and the far wall (opposite the door). There is a small chest of drawers across from the bed to the right with a vanity mirror and a vintage washbasin on top complete with pitcher and handtowel. Beside it is a small door to a closet with extra linens and pillows. It's relatively empty other than a few extra things like winter coats and a few hidden Christmas gifts for next year and a forgotten golf bag that dad left last time he was there to visit. Beside the door to the left there is a taller chest of drawers with a few pictures of family get togethers and fun memories on the walls. There are two windows one that overlooks the backyard and one that is on the wall opposite the door. It's simple cute and cozy.

The next door is the kids bedroom. (If I have three the guest bed will be the oldest siblings room before they move out and the younger two will more than likely be twins so they'll share or will segregate boy/girl etc.) The kids room is bigger than the guest room. With a bed coming out of the middle of the wall to the left. To the right there is a large mirror-double-doored wardrobe which houses clothes, shoes, uniforms, hats, winter wear etc. In the Tob there is a shelf for a few extra linens for sleep overs or whathaveyou. There is again 2 windows. There is a blown glass style window above the headboard of the bed which has a drapey sheer curtain that falls behind the bed, and there is a more stained glass window to the wall opposite the door that is behind a sort of work desk littered with books and papers and a laotop. Their school bag hangs by one shoulder strap off the chair. There is a more modern floor lamp beside it with a rubbish bin beneath it overflowing with wadded paper. There is a bookshelf to the right of the desk between the wardrobe and the wall full of novels and a radio/Bluetooth speaker. It also stores games and other things my kid has collected (stolen from me) over the years. On the wall to the left of the door is a huge lovesac covered in laundry next to the laundry basket in the corner. There are a vanity to the right of the bed and a small end table to the left (between the bed and the wall). both are littered with books, jewelry, makeup, niknacks,chargers, and a lamp. I don't want to know what's under the bed, but there is a small chaise at the foot of the bed. There is enough floor space to have a blanket fort or a small sumber party of about 6 kids.

The last room is the master suite. You walk in the door, and there is an attached bathroom to the left. Through a door at the far corner of the room. The queen sized bed is rod iron, with a lovely victorian Italian feel to it. It is against the far wall coming out from the middle with an end table on either side (his and her style). At the foot of the bed there is a chaise with shoes underneath. To the right of the door there is a window that overlooks the front of the house, it looks to have a bit of a window seat for reading. There is a glider chair int he corner beside the window. With a foot stool infront of it. To the left between the glider and the bedside table seems to be a combination of a quilt rack and a Butler station with a hanging suit and a little surface with my husband's daily accessories on it (wallet, belt, cologne, rings, knives, etc). To the left of the entry door is a bit more witchy/girly. There is a small writing desk that looks to double as a vanity with a collection of vintage and antique niknacks with drawers and built-in storage for my jewelry, knives, stamps, stationary, passports, etc. Between the vanity and the bathroom door looks to be a 5 panel changing screen where I have a few outfits hanging on a vintage clothes rack behind it. my silky house coat and a towel seem to have taken residence draping over one of the screen panels. Through the bathroom door there is a larger garden claw-foot tub with a Waterfall showerhead that takes up the majority of the back wall. There is stone tile flooring that also lines the walls about a 3rd of the way from the floor. The sink is to the left of the door and is a bit modern and standard with cabinetry beneath in storing towels (extras included) as well as toiletries and toilet paper. There is a cabinet over the toilet to the right that stores most of my body and hair products including my husband's few various products for hair care and maintenance. There is a small stainglass window that lets in natural light between the tub and the toilet where the towel rack is mounted just below it. And there are a few hooks behind the door as well as right next to the tub(to the left) for towels and robes for dressing.

When you go back downstairs passed the half bath between the stairs an dthe livingroom there is a sort of mudroom/laundry room. That leads to the back porch (is about 8 feed from the kitchen door which is to the right) to the left there is a set of stairs that lead you to the little bit of a backyard that has a trampoline and an in-ground pool. There may be a 2 door garage to the left where the workshop is for building and restoring/fixing things along with a section for gardening stuff. I really hate grads do there will be little pads of clover and creeping thyme as well as little gardens lining the gate and overgrown ivy with a few trees--one has a tree swing. Maybe the kid and my spouse plan on building a treehouse soon. I probably have a little garden labarenth hidden in the corner somewhere to do ritual outside. Or offering or whatever.

Yea... That's my house.

MYERS-BRIGGS: INFJ-T, the Advocate

The Advocate personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers. These individuals are capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.

People with this personality type tend to see helping others as their purpose in life. Advocates can often be found engaging in rescue efforts and doing charity work. However, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.

Advocates indeed share a unique combination of traits. Though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. They are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain.

Advocates will act with creativity, imagination, conviction, and sensitivity not to create an advantage, but to create balance. Egalitarianism and karma are very attractive ideas to Advocate personalities. These types tend to believe that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants.

Nothing lights up Advocates like creating a solution that changes people’s lives.

Advocates find it easy to make connections with others. They have a talent for warm, sensitive language, speaking in human terms, rather than with pure logic and fact.

It makes sense that their friends and colleagues will come to think of them as quiet Extraverted personality types. However, they would all do well to remember that Advocates need time alone to decompress and recharge, and not to become too alarmed when they suddenly withdraw. Advocates take great care of others’ feelings, and they expect the favor to be returned – sometimes that means giving them the space they need for a few days.

Really, though, it is most important for people with the Advocate personality type to remember to take care of themselves. The passion of their convictions is perfectly capable of carrying them past their breaking point. If their zeal gets out of hand, they can find themselves exhausted, unhealthy, and stressed.

This becomes especially apparent when Advocates find themselves up against conflict and criticism. Their sensitivity forces these personalities to do everything they can to evade these seemingly personal attacks. When the circumstances are unavoidable, however, they can fight back in highly irrational, unhelpful ways.

To Advocates, the world is a place full of inequity – but it doesn’t have to be. No other personality type is better suited to create a movement to right a wrong, no matter how big or small. Advocates just need to remember that while they’re busy taking care of the world, they need to take care of themselves, too.

ENNEAGRAM: Type 6 - The Loyalist, Wing 5 - The Investigator

The Loyalist 6. Conflicted between trust and distrust

People of this personality type essentially feel insecure, as though there is nothing quite steady enough to hold onto. At the core of the type Six personality is a kind of fear or anxiety. This anxiety has a very deep source and can manifest in a variety of different styles, making Sixes somewhat difficult to describe and to type. What all Sixes have in common however, is the fear rooted at the center of their personality, which manifests in worrying, and restless imaginings of everything that might go wrong. This tendency makes Sixes gifted at trouble shooting, but also robs the Six of much needed peace of mind and tends to deprive the personality of spontaneity. The essential anxiety at the core of the type Six fixation tends to permeate the personality with a sort of "defensive suspiciousness." Sixes don't trust easily; they are often ambivalent about others, until the person has absolutely proven herself, at which point they are likely to respond with steadfast loyalty. The loyalty of the Six is something of a two edged sword however, as Sixes are sometimes prone to stand by a friend, partner, job or cause even long after it is time to move on.

Sixes are generally looking for something or someone to believe in. This, combined with their general suspiciousness, gives rise to a complicated relationship to authority. The side of the Six which is looking for something to believe in, is often very susceptible to the temptation to turn authority over to an external source, whether it be in the form of an individual or a creed. But the Six's tendency towards distrust and suspicion works against any sort of faith in authority. Thus, two opposite pulls exist side by side in the personality of enneatype Six, and assume different proportions in different individuals, sometimes alternating within the same individual.

The truly confounding element when it comes to typing Sixes is that there are two fundamentally different strategies that Sixes adopt for dealing with fear. Some Sixes are basically phobic. Phobic Sixes are generally compliant, affiliative and cooperative. Other Sixes adopt the opposite strategy of dealing with fear, and become counter-phobic, essentially taking a defiant stand against whatever they find threatening. This is the Six who takes on authority or who adopts a dare devil attitude towards physical danger. Counter-phobic Sixes can be aggressive and, rather than looking for authorities, can adopt a rebellious or anti-authoritarian demeanor. Counter-phobic Sixes are often unaware of the fear that motivates their actions. In fact, Sixes in general, tend to be blind to the extent of their own anxiety. Because it is the constant back drop to all of their emotions, Sixes are frequently unaware of its existence, as they have nothing with which to contrast it.

The Investigator 5. Thinkers who tend to withdraw and observe

People of this personality type essentially fear that they don't have enough inner strength to face life, so they tend to withdraw, to retreat into the safety and security of the mind where they can mentally prepare for their emergence into the world. Fives feel comfortable and at home in the realm of thought. They are generally intelligent, well read and thoughtful and they frequently become experts in the areas that capture their interest. While they are sometimes scientifically oriented, especially with the Six wing, just as many Fives are drawn to the humanities and it is not at all uncommon for Fives to have artistic inclinations.

Fives are often a bit eccentric; they feel little need to alter their beliefs to accommodate majority opinion, and they refuse to compromise their freedom to think just as they please. The problem for Fives is that while they are comfortable in the realm of thought, they are frequently a good deal less comfortable when it comes to dealing with their emotions, the demands of a relationship, or the need to find a place for themselves in the world. Fives tend to be shy, non-intrusive, independent and reluctant to ask for the help that others might well be happy to extend to them.

Fives are sensitive; they don't feel adequately defended against the world. To compensate for their sensitivity, Fives sometimes adopt an attitude of careless indifference or intellectual arrogance, which has the unfortunate consequence of creating distance between themselves and others. Trying to bridge the distance can be difficult for Fives, as they are seldom comfortable with their social skills, but when they do manage it, they are often devoted friends and life long companions.

Fives are usually somewhat restrained when it comes to emotional expression, but they often have stronger feelings than they let on. Few people know what is going on beneath the surface, as Fives have an often exaggerated need for privacy and a deep seated fear of intrusion. Because of their sensitivity and their fears of inadequacy, Fives fear being overwhelmed, either by the demands of others or by the strength of their own emotions. They sometimes deal with this by developing a minimalistic lifestyle in which they make few demands on others in exchange for few demands being made on them. Other Fives make their peace with the messiness of life and engage it more fully, but they almost always retain their fears that life is somehow going to demand more of them than they can deliver.

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Good

A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.

TEMPERAMENT: Melancholic

The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are perfectionists. They are self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.

Finding Balance in Yin – Yang

Everyone these days is looking for ways to achieve and maintain optimum health and lead a fulfilled life. As a way to achieve this, we can look to the ancient Taoist concept of Yin-Yang. According to this ancient Chinese philosophy, Yin-Yang is a concept of dualism, explaining how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary and interconnected. They are interdependent in both the natural world and in the human body and how they interrelate determines if the world around us, including our relationships, and our health are in balance and harmony or not.

Yang is more dynamic and active energy – it helps us to accomplish and achieve goals and be motivated while Yin is a quieter, softer and more inward energy. If you think about it in terms of the natural world then the rising sun would be the Yang part of the day – the energy that gets you out of bed and motivated for the day ahead. As the sun starts to set, we come into the Yin part of the day and we slow down, become less active and prepare our mind and body for rest. Or at least that’s what the ideal would be!

How many of us though go to bed with our phones still on scrolling through social media, answering texts and emails and then find we can’t sleep? By doing this we are keeping ourselves in a Yang mode when we are actually in a Yin part of the day. We’re fighting against the natural energy flow. We don’t allow ourselves the quiet and stillness needed to be able to rest and recuperate and this is what brings us out of balance. We are then tired the next day so use stimulants and sugar to give us energy but we’re actually using and draining our reserves. Yin-Yang is a cycle; a balance and if we ignore it, we can become stressed, burnt out, exhausted which can lead to poor diet choices, health issues and an in-balance in our natural energy.

Yin-Yang and Yoga

It is this in-balance in so many people’s lives that led us to design a Yin Yang yoga teacher training as a way to bring people back to a more balanced state. So how does the idea of Yin-Yang apply to your yoga practice? Each style of yoga has either a more Yang or Yin quality to it – Vinyasa Yoga, for example, would be a Yang practice while meditation and Yin Yoga would be balancing Yin practices. It’s about knowing which type of practice you need in order to balance the Yin-Yang in your body and our 200 hour yoga certification course gives you the tools to be able to manage this in your daily life.

Say you’ve had a really stressful day – you rushed to work, had some issues at work, rushed home stressed and were feeling exhausted at the end of the day. All you want to do is curl up but you “push” yourself to go to a 90-minute Vinyasa class. While you may feel a temporary buzz, you could actually be depleting your natural energy reserves because actually what your body needed was a quiet, still, Yin Yoga practice where the Parasympathetic Nervous System would be stimulated (our rest and digest state). Similarly, if you’ve been chilling all day, maybe not talking much then a Vinyasa class might be more beneficial for you than a Yin Yoga class.

Society tells us that if we’re not doing and being active then we’re not productive so we can end up doing the opposite of what we actually need.

Our yoga teacher certification is focused on always trying to maintain this careful balance between the two energies. If we go too far out of balance – either too Yang or too Yin then this is what can lead to disease.

Understanding the connectivity of Yin and Yang

As we’ve mentioned Yin energy has qualities of contraction, introversion, stillness, femininity and is alkaline.

Yang energy has qualities of expansion, expression, brightness, masculinity and acidity.

If a person is too Yang, overactive, overstimulated with social media, stressed at work, doing excessive exercise, sex and using stimulants like caffeine, energy drinks and drugs then this can lead to excessive heat and inflammation in the body. This heat and acidity will burn the body out. This can then lead to hypo-metabolism with lowered thyroid and adrenal function.

This is why balancing your activity (Yang) with rest (Yin) is essential in creating a balanced and healthy life.

Yin deficiency PHYSICAL health symptoms include:

Dry skin, hair, throat and eyes

Night sweats and difficulty sleeping

Tight and aching muscles

Yin deficiency EMOTIONAL health symptoms include:

Irritable, unsettled and unable to relax

Feelings of frustration and anger

Yang deficiency PHYSICAL health symptoms include:

Lethargy and excessive tiredness

Low sexual libido

Coldness in the body, especially feet and hands

Yang deficiency EMOTIONAL health symptoms include:

Demotivated and a sense of hopelessness

Fearful and unable to cope

If you’re interested in delving further, the Inner Yoga Training 200 hours yoga certification 2020 is designed to incorporate both Vinyasa (Yang) and Yin practices. We also learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine to better understand a way towards optimal health. We are passionate about teaching the importance of the Yin-Yang balance leading to a healthy mind-body balance.

Cody Rhodes vs Davey Richards- #1 Contenders match

Starting off simple, both men circled around the perimeter of the ropes inside the ring before meeting in the center for a collar-and-elbow tie-up. The toe of their boots digging into the mat as each vouched for an advantage in their mild power struggle. After a solid half-a minute, both men pushed each other off to break the tie-up for the time being. Seeing as the tie-up didn’t seem to go anywhere the first time, Richards and Cody circled around one more time, eyes locked onto one another before shooting for a second attempt. This time, Richards got the upper hand. A quick lock-on of a side headlock had Cody trapped in place for the time being. Cranking the head of Rhodes for a few more seconds, Richards took Cody down to the mat while keeping the side headlock locked in. The aim being to keep the hold locked in while limiting what Rhodes could do to break out of it, but Cody already had a escape well scouted. At the moment Richards leaned his body back to wrench in the hold more, Cody raised his legs up to trap Richards’s head between them, locked at the ankles. Releasing his hold on Rhodes’s head, Richards moved his hands up to break the leg hold Cody had on his neck and both men quickly moved to stand.

Each man getting to their feet at the exact same time to the applause and cheap pop of the crowd. A more serious look overtook Richards’s face while Cody’s had a sly smirk upon his. Yet again, another rotation around the ring and another tie-up. But this time Cody took advantage to surprise Richards with a arm drag and an arm lock once the two dropped to the mat. In similar style, Richards tossed his legs up to apply the same leg hold that Rhodes had applied on him moments ago and Cody this time was forced to cease the hold he had on Richards’s arm. Both men yet again getting to their feet at the same time. Seemingly aggravated that he wasn’t getting in any opening pot-shots, Richards stunned Cody with a quick right-hand slap to the face. Trademark, vintage Richards which had Cody stumbling back a step or two.

A hand now resting on his cheek as the sting of the slap left a read mark among the heat it brought to the area itself. Turning his head back to Richards with equally an annoyed look on his face, if not one that wanted to make Richards pay for the slap, Cody rushed forward to close in on an attack. Alerted to the sudden shift in mood, Richards dropped to the mat and rolled outside as an attempt to escape while Cody merely just mimicked the roll-out and gave chase. Nearly running a lap around the ring before Richards rolled back in, Cody rolled in equally around the time that Richards had ran to the opposite side of the ring to hit Cody with a running attack in response. The clothesline attempt was ducked and upon Richards turning back around, Cody got him with a snap armdrag out of nowhere. Richards quickly got back up, Cody rushed forward and gave him another. Yet again Richards got up, and this time the veteran specialist countered Cody with a low dropkick to the knees. The result causing Cody to drop quick to the mat in a near faceplant and instantly have the Irishman clutch at his knee. Seizing the moment, Richards targeted the leg and worked in a series of stops onto the leg itself.

He also managed to get a single-leg crab in early within Cody’s writhing and wiggling around to turn the tables of the match in Richards’s favor. Not yet wanting to receive any limited movement so early in the match, Cody desperately clawed and pushed himself towards the nearest set of ropes to force the ref to breakup the submission. Cody managing to get there and clutching the bottom rope tightly as the ref stepped in and argued with Richards to release the hold until he did. Taking the opportunity to roll out of the ring and seat himself on the apron, Cody reached down to squeeze his leg and massage out the soreness where he felt it. But such an act wasn’t too smart given how Richards had ran across the ring to hit the ropes and come back with a running dropkick to the small of Cody’s back. Easily causing the Irishman to be pushed off the apron and drop to the ringside mat with a loud thump. Putting an arm behind him to arch and wince at the pain where Richards’s boots had connected, Cody was slow to roll towards the barricade and reach a hand up to help lift his body to stand. In the meantime, Richards had pandered to the crowd with his arms outstretched and his ever so notorious cockiness just oozing through his antics.

Both his smirk and and his gestures alike. Around the time that Cody had finally managed to stand and make his way back over to the ring apron, Richards had timed himself to go for yet another dropkick. This time, an attempt at going for a baseball slide to cause Cody to stumble back and collide with the commentator’s table behind him. But with Cody facing Richards this time, he saw it coming and found the ideal timing to counter it. Sidestepping the slide itself until Richards was sat up in front of the ropes and returning fire with a quick forearm to the face. Soon grabbing Richards’s legs to tug on the limbs and force Richards outside, Cody grabbed a handful of hair and guided Richards over to the commentator table. Pulling back for a moment before pushing Richards’s head down within a matter of a second, Cody managed to cause Richards’s head to bounce off of the commentator’s table and force the veteran to stumble away from the table in a temporary stun. Rolling in the ring to avoid anymore ringside offense, Richards got to his feet and walked a bit clutching his head while Cody made haste to roll in himself and walk towards Richards to continue where he started inside the ring.

What he was presented with however was a quick shoulderblock from Richards to drop Cody to the mat. Richards then grabbing a handful of hair before laying in a set of punches to work out his frustrations through his aggressive offense. Stopping after he felt as if he had done enough, Richards lifted Cody to his feet and irish-whipped him into the nearest turnbuckle where Cody’s back crashed against it and he stayed in place, albeit a bit wobbly. Richards pursued in the attack and began laying in some loud chops to Cody’s chest. Lighting up his skin as the sound of skin slapping skin echoed around the arena. After the sixth or seventh chop, Richards once more grabbed Rhodes’s arm and whipped him across the ring to the turnbuckles across the way. This time, more of a hammer-throw to cause Rhodes to impact the turnbuckles and stumble forward grimacing while Richards ran towards the ropes behind Rhodes. Ricocheted back with a one-handed bulldog to drop Rhodes in the center of the ring and set up for his patented double stomp off the second rope. Rhodes rolled onto his back and Richards went for the attempt, but Rhodes rolled out of the way.

As if Richards already had it scouted, Richards landed on his own two feet and took advantage of Cody’s knees being up by hooking his arms around them and turning Cody over to apply an unexpected Crossface! In the center of the ring, Cody had nowhere close to crawl to and he had to fight every last bit of pain to try and find a way out of the Crossface as quick as possible. His fists pounding on the mat and arms outstretching every minute or so to try and grasp for the ropes that are way too far away form him to even fathom it. Digging deep to find the strength to crawl his way towards the more upfront set of ropes that he could see, Cody only managed halfway before Richards identified the attempt and started walking them back closer to the center of the ring again. The walk itself was one that had Richards loosening the grip of the maneuver for a second or two, but one that Cody took advantage of. Cody managing to shimmy his way from a boston crab position to one where he was lain on his back and using his hands to lean forward and scoop at Richards’s feet to sweep him off his feet to where now Cody’s legs pinned down Richards for a quick pin attempt out of nowhere.

One . . T-

Kickout. Moving his legs off of Richards as Cody looked over at the referee in disbelief, Cody planted both palms on the mat to help scoot him back towards the ropes. Managing to scoot himself inch by inch towards the ropes until he turned his body to reach up and grab ahold of the top rope to help him stand. Already up to his feet and looking shocked that Cody managed such a reversal maneuver to counter his finisher, Richards scouted Cody as the Irishman got to his feet. Around the exact moment that Cody found stability in both legs and could stand without a rope assistance, Richards rushed forward to attack. Leaping off of the adjacent set of ropes to Cody’s right to connect with a triangle dropkick to send Cody over the ropes to the outside. Cody’s body crashed down to the mat, but his recovery to get up was a bit quicker now that he was starting to kick into his second-wind per-say. Wanting to mount a solid set of offense as soon as possible, Cody slowly managed to get to his feet and turned towards the ring. His hopes of mounting an offense halted for the time being as Richards displayed his own aerial skills with a plancha to the outside over the top rope.

A set of mounted punches once more pounding in on Cody’s skull once the two men had crashed to the ringside mat and Richards knelt on the ground beside Cody. Not wnting the match to become a repeated outside affair, Richards pulled Cody up to his feet. One hand grabbing ahold of Cody’s trunks and the other grabbing a handful of hair to toss the Irishman back inside the ring. Upon the ring veteran making his way back inside, Cody was starting to slowly make his way to his feet. Already on one knee and taking a moment to catch his breath before Richards came over with what looked to be an attempt at a suplex. Cody bit the bullet and went for a ‘now or never’ moment by tensing his body to make it so that Richards would have trouble lifting him. The second attempt at lifting Cody causing the Irishman to start laying in a set of desperate rights and lefts to Richards’s ribs. At first, just to get Richards to quit the attempt. But after another set of rights and lefts, it was helping to give Cody a head of steam to work with. Turning his body fast to lay in a quick kick to Richards’s gut, Cody thusly ran towards the opposite ropes and returned with a Sling Blade to catch Richards offguard.

Stumbling to his feet and shuffling his way over to the adjacent-opposite side of the ring, Cody readied himself for what was to become the finale to his three-part finish. Richards’s slow rise to his feet being scouted and anticipated by Rhodes who once the ring vet was to his feet, Cody ran forward to connect with a running dropkick. With the move connecting, Richards was launched backwards and his body collided with the turnbuckles as Richards dropped to the mat and rolled around with a hand on his back. Cody looked towards the crowd as if to signal that the end was near as he made his way over to the ropes and stepped outside to the ring apron to ascend the turnbuckles in-wait. Richards rolling onto his back and looking up to see what Cody was signaling for causing him to react quick and quickly rolled the other way to get out of the ring out of the potential danger zone. The crowd booed as they clearly thought that Cody’s comeback was going to be enough, but Richards had this match in the palm of his hand. Even managing to have a smug look on his face as he walked around the outside ring area as if to bask in the fact that he ruined the crowd’s anticipation.

Not giving up on his determination to swing things in his favor, Cody awaited Richards to round the corner of the outside to get into more of an opportune spot. Finding that very opportunity when Richards looked over to a fan who was trying to get a high five and swatted away at the guys hand with Cody now running towards the ropes at full speed. The moment Richards turned around, he was presented with an aerial Cody Rhodes who would cause Richards to be on the receiving end of an over the top rope suicide senton. Popping up to his feet after rolling off of Richards, Cody didn’t allow the man a chance to breathe as the American Nightmare was quick to pick Richards up. Rolling him into the ring close to the turnbuckles so that he could try again for another attempt as Cody knelt-up onto the apron before ascending the turnbuckles once more. Cody turned around and went for his world famous moonsault, but Richards rolled out of the way! Cody landed on his feet, however, and Davey went for the DR Driver II, but Cody rolled out of it, ran to the ropes, sprung off and nailed Davey with a Beautiful Disaster Kick! Davey was stunned, and Cody went for Cross Rhodes, but Davey managed to spin out of it, and backed Cody into the ropes in a collar and elbow tie up. The ref tried to get them out of the ropes, getting between them to try and break them up. Davey took advantage of the ref’s compromised eye line, and swung his legs up, catching Cody with a low blow! Cody held his jewels as Davey pulled him out of the ropes, and planted him with the DR Driver II! Cover!

1…2… 3!

Davey Richards would be meeting Sami Zayn at No Remorse!

Personality Analysis:

MBTI: INFJ. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact. Advocates indeed share a unique combination of traits: though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. They are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – Advocates will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance. Really though, it is most important for Advocates to remember to take care of themselves. This becomes especially apparent when Advocates find themselves up against conflict and criticism – their sensitivity forces them to do everything they can to evade these seemingly personal attacks, but when the circumstances are unavoidable, they can fight back in highly irrational, unhelpful ways.

TEMPERAMENT: Phlegmatic. The Phlegmatic is an introverted, calm, unemotional, easygoing, never-get-upset, person. Phlegmatics are both slow and indirect when responding to others. They are also slow to warm-up but will be accommodating in the process. Phlegmatics are by far the easiest person with which to get along. They live a quiet, routine, life, free of the normal anxieties and stresses of the other temperaments. The Phlegmatic will avoid getting too involved with people and life in general. Phlegmatics seldom exert themselves with others or push their way along in their career, they just let it happen. The Phlegmatic communicates a warm, sincere interest in others preferring to have just a few close friends. They will be very loyal to their friends and find it difficult to break long standing relationships regardless of what the other person does. The Phlegmatic tends to resist change of any kind without reason, other than they just do not want the change to occur. Phlegmatics show little emotion and are prone to be a grudge holder. Phlegmatics tend to avoid conflict and making decisions of any kind. They are practical, concrete and traditional thinkers. Their stoic expression often hides their true feelings. The Phlegmatic may be patient to the point of paralysis. Phlegmatics are persistent and consistent at whatever they undertake.

Thus, two opposite pulls exist side by side in the personality of enneatype Six, and assume different proportions in different individuals, sometimes alternating within the same individual. In fact, Sixes in general, tend to be blind to the extent of their own anxiety. Because it is the constant back drop to all of their emotions, Sixes are frequently unaware of its existence, as they have nothing with which to contrast it.

A Lawful Neutral character typically believes strongly in Lawful concepts such as honor, order, rules and tradition, and often follows a personal code. A Lawful Neutral society would typically enforce strict laws to maintain social order, and place a high value on traditions and historical precedent. Examples of Lawful Neutral characters might include a soldier who always follows orders, a judge or enforcer that adheres mercilessly to the word of the law, and a disciplined monk.Characters of this alignment are neutral with regard to good and evil. This does not mean that Lawful Neutral characters are amoral or immoral, or do not have a moral compass, but simply that their moral considerations come a distant second to what their code, tradition, or law dictates. They typically have a strong ethical code, but it is primarily guided by their system of belief, not by a commitment to good or evil. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. Lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.

Finn Bálor vs Chris Jericho

As part of his earlier announcement that he would take part in the national Star Wars holiday tradition of May forth, Finn had made his entrance special for the occasion. Darth Maul’s theme from The Phantom Menace being Finn’s theme for the night and his warpaint being that of Darth Maul’s look taken straight from the movie and comics. Contacts included. There was no Demon Balor tonight and he wouldn’t be acting all sinister as he would if he were in that persona. It was simply Finn Balor dressed as Darth Maul, with a bit of a seriousness that was more-so just to upkeep the dark side of Maul in his persona for the night. He didn’t want to give away the surprise earlier on in the night when he came to the aid of The Hardy’s, so by all means Finn was completely in character and ready to roll for his match with Chris Jericho. Given the appeal and the importance of this match alike, Finn felt determined to make this match an absolute classic. With how Jericho has set the bar for any and all technical wrestlers and submission specialists, Finn wasn’t going into this match thinking it would be an exhibition match. If anything, this had big money fight written all over it.

Starting off simple, both men circled around the perimeter of the ropes inside the ring before meeting in the center for a collar-and-elbow tie-up. The toe of their boots digging into the mat as each vouched for an advantage in their mild power struggle. After a solid half-a minute, both men pushed each other off to break the tie-up for the time being. Seeing as the tie-up didn’t seem to go anywhere the first time, Jericho and Finn circled around one more time, eyes locked onto one another before shooting for a second attempt. This time, Jericho got the upper hand. A quick lock-on of a side headlock had Finn trapped in place for the time being. Cranking the head of Balor for a few more seconds, Jericho took Finn down to the mat while keeping the side headlock locked in. The aim being to keep the hold locked in while limiting what Balor could do to break out of it, but Finn already had a escape well scouted. At the moment Jericho leaned his body back to wrench in the hold more, Finn raised his legs up to trap Jericho’s head between them, locked at the ankles. Releasing his hold on Balor’s head, Jericho moved his hands up to break the leg hold Finn had on his neck and both men quickly moved to stand.

Each man getting to their feet at the exact same time to the applause and cheap pop of the crowd. A more serious look overtook Jericho’s face while Finn’s had a sly smirk upon his. Where as the Hardy’s set the bar for high risk matches and extreme moments, Jericho was the platinum standard for technical wrestling and a legend in submission specialty. To say that Balor had studied Jericho for a good period of time over the course of his wrestling tenure, was an understatement. Yet again, another rotation around the ring and another tie-up. But this time Finn took advantage to surprise Jericho with a arm drag and an arm lock once the two dropped to the mat. In similar style, Jericho tossed his legs up to apply the same leg hold that Balor had applied on him moments ago and Finn this time was forced to cease the hold he had on Jericho’s arm. Both men yet again getting to their feet at the same time. Seemingly aggravated that he wasn’t getting in any opening pot-shots, Jericho stunned Finn with a quick right-hand slap to the face. Trademark, vintage Jericho which had Finn stumbling back a step or two.

A hand now resting on his cheek as the sting of the slap left a read mark among the heat it brought to the area itself. Turning his head back to Jericho with equally an annoyed look on his face, if not one that wanted to make Jericho pay for the slap, Finn rushed forward to close in on an attack. Alerted to the sudden shift in mood, Jericho dropped to the mat and rolled outside as an attempt to escape while Finn merely just mimicked the roll-out and gave chase. Nearly running a lap around the ring before Jericho rolled back in, Finn rolled in equally around the time that Jericho had ran to the opposite side of the ring to hit Finn with a running attack in response. The clothesline attempt was ducked and upon Jericho turning back around, Finn got him with a snap armdrag out of nowhere. Jericho quickly got back up, Finn rushed forward and gave him another. Yet again Jericho got up, and this time the veteran specialist countered Finn with a low dropkick to the knees. The result causing Finn to drop quick to the mat in a near faceplant and instantly have the Irishman clutch at his knee. Seizing the moment, Jericho targeted the leg and worked in a series of stops onto the leg itself.

He also managed to get a single-leg crab in early within Finn’s writhing and wiggling around to turn the tables of the match in Jericho’s favor. Not yet wanting to receive any limited movement so early in the match, Finn desperately clawed and pushed himself towards the nearest set of ropes to force the ref to breakup the submission. Finn managing to get there and clutching the bottom rope tightly as the ref stepped in and argued with Jericho to release the hold until he did. Taking the opportunity to roll out of the ring and seat himself on the apron, Finn reached down to squeeze his leg and massage out the soreness where he felt it. But such an act wasn’t too smart given how Jericho had ran across the ring to hit the ropes and come back with a running dropkick to the small of Finn’s back. Easily causing the Irishman to be pushed off the apron and drop to the ringside mat with a loud thump. Putting an arm behind him to arch and wince at the pain where Jericho’s boots had connected, Finn was slow to roll towards the barricade and reach a hand up to help lift his body to stand. In the meantime, Jericho had pandered to the crowd with his arms outstretched and his ever so notorious cockiness just oozing through his antics.

Both his smirk and and his gestures alike. Around the time that Finn had finally managed to stand and make his way back over to the ring apron, Jericho had timed himself to go for yet another dropkick. This time, an attempt at going for a baseball slide to cause Finn to stumble back and collide with the commentator’s table behind him. But with Finn facing Jericho this time, he saw it coming and found the ideal timing to counter it. Sidestepping the slide itself until Jericho was sat up in front of the ropes and returning fire with a quick forearm to the face. Soon grabbing Jericho’s legs to tug on the limbs and force Jericho outside, Finn grabbed a handful of hair and guided Jericho over to the commentator table. Pulling back for a moment before pushing Jericho’s head down within a matter of a second, Finn managed to cause Jericho’s head to bounce off of the commentator’s table and force the veteran to stumble away from the table in a temporary stun. Rolling in the ring to avoid anymore ringside offense, Jericho got to his feet and walked a bit clutching his head while Finn made haste to roll in himself and walk towards Jericho to continue where he started inside the ring.

What he was presented with however was a quick shoulderblock from Jericho to drop Finn to the mat. Jericho then grabbing a handful of hair before laying in a set of punches to work out his frustrations through his aggressive offense. Stopping after he felt as if he had done enough, Jericho lifted Finn to his feet and irish-whipped him into the nearest turnbuckle where Finn’s back crashed against it and he stayed in place, albeit a bit wobbly. Jericho pursued in the attack and began laying in some loud chops to Finn’s chest. Lighting up his skin as the sound of skin slapping skin echoed around the arena. After the sixth or seventh chop, Jericho once more grabbed Balor’s arm and whipped him across the ring to the turnbuckles across the way. This time, more of a hammer-throw to cause Balor to impact the turnbuckles and stumble forward grimacing while Jericho ran towards the ropes behind Balor. Ricocheted back with a one-handed bulldog to drop Balor in the center of the ring and set up for his patented, classic Lionsault off the second rope. Balor rolled onto his back and Jericho went for the attempt, but Balor was quick to raise his knees up at the last second.

As if Jericho already had it scouted, Jericho landed on his own two feet and took advantage of Finn’s knees being up by hooking his arms around them and turning Finn over to apply an unexpected Walls of Jericho. In the center of the ring, Finn had nowhere close to crawl to and he had to fight every last bit of pain to try and find a way out of the walls as quick as possible. His fists pounding on the mat and arms outstretching every minute or so to try and grasp for the ropes that are way too far away form him to even fathom it. Digging deep to find the strength to crawl his way towards the more upfront set of ropes that he could see, Finn only managed halfway before Jericho identified the attempt and started walking them back closer tot he center of the ring again. The walk itself was one that had Jericho loosening the grip of the maneuver for a second or two, but one that Finn took advantage of. Finn managing to shimmy his way from a boston crab position to one where he was lain on his back and using his hands to lean forward and scoop at Jericho’s feet to sweep him off his feet to where now Finn’s legs pinned down Jericho for a quick pin attempt out of nowhere.

One . . T-

Kickout. Moving his legs off of Jericho as Finn looked over at the referee in disbelief, Finn planted both palms on the mat to help scoot him back towards the ropes. Managing to scoot himself inch by inch towards the ropes until he turned his body to reach up and grab ahold of the top rope to help him stand. Already up to his feet and looking shocked that Finn managed such a reversal maneuver to counter his finisher, Jericho scouted Finn as the Irishman got to his feet. Around the exact moment that Finn found stability in both legs and could stand without a rope assistance, Jericho rushed forward to attack. Leaping off of the adjacent set of ropes to Finn’s right to connect with a triangle dropkick to send Finn over the ropes to the outside. Finn’s body crashed down to the mat, but his recovery to get up was a bit quicker now that he was starting to kick into his second-wind per-say. Wanting to mount a solid set of offense as soon as possible, Finn slowly managed to get to his feet and turned towards the ring. His hopes of mounting an offense halted for the time being as Jericho displayed his own aerial skills with a plancha to the outside over the top rope.

A set of mounted punches once more pounding in on Finn’s skull once the two men had crashed to the ringside mat and Jericho knelt on the ground beside Finn. Not wnting the match to become a repeated outside affair, Jericho pulled Finn up to his feet. One hand grabbing ahold of Finn’s trunks and the other grabbing a handful of hair to toss the Irishman back inside the ring. Upon the ring veteran making his way back inside, Finn was starting to slowly make his way to his feet. Already on one knee and taking a moment to catch his breath before Jericho came over with what looked to be an attempt at a suplex. Finn bit the bullet and went for a ‘now or never’ moment by tensing his body to make it so that Jericho would have trouble lifting him. The second attempt at lifting Finn causing the Irishman to start laying in a set of desperate rights and lefts to Jericho’s ribs. At first, just to get Jericho to quit the attempt. But after another set of rights and lefts, it was helping to give Finn a head of steam to work with. Turning his body fast to lay in a quick kick to Jericho’s gut, Finn thusly ran towards the opposite ropes and returned with a Sling Blade to catch Jericho offguard.

Stumbling to his feet and shuffling his way over to the adjacent-opposite side of the ring, Finn readied himself for what was to become the finale to his three-part finish. Jericho’s slow rise to his feet being scouted and anticipated by Balor who once the ring vet was to his feet, Finn ran forward to connect with a running dropkick. With the move connecting, Jericho was launched backwards and his body collided with the turnbuckles as Jericho dropped to the mat and rolled around with a hand on his back. Finn looked towards the crowd as if to signal that the end was near as he made his way over to the ropes and stepped outside to the ring apron to ascend the turnbuckles in-wait. Jericho rolling onto his back and looking up to see what Finn was signaling for causing him to react quick and quickly rolled the other way to get out of the ring out of the potential danger zone. The crowd booed as they clearly thought that Finn’s comeback was going to be enough, but Jericho had this match in the palm of his hand. Even managing to have a smug look on his face as he walked around the outside ring area as if to bask in the fact that he ruined the crowd’s anticipation.

Not giving up on his determination to swing things in his favor, Finn awaited Jericho to round the corner of the outside to get into more of an opportune spot. Finding that very opportunity when Jericho looked over to a fan who was trying to get a high five and swatted away at the guys hand with Finn now running towards the ropes at full speed. The moment Jericho turned around, he was presented with an aerial Finn Balor who would cause Jericho to be on the receiving end of an over the top rope suicide senton. Popping up to his feet after rolling off of Jericho, Finn didn’t allow the man a chance to breathe as the Irishman was quick to pick Jericho up. Rolling him into the ring close to the turnbuckles so that he could try again for another attempt as Finn knelt-up onto the apron before ascending the turnbuckles once more. With the sight of Jericho now in the perfect position for him to strike, Finn started to stand on the top rope and taunt to the crowd before the lights would cut out completely. The entire arena going dark before a video package was shown on the titantron of a vacant graveyard.

The sound of crickets chirping and footsteps crunching the grass below would then sound as tombstones with familiar names would be seen in a row one after the other. Each name on the tombstones being that of each victim that had fallen to the Undertaker starting from the first Wrestlemania he was a part of all the way to the most recent. The only exceptions being Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns who the Undertaker clearly didn’t add to the names for obvious reasons. The last tombstone had yet to be placed from the looks of it, but there was a freshly dug grave right in front of where a tombstone would be placed if there was one. In the matter of a single thunderclap and two strikes of lightning impacting the top of the stage area, a tombstone was seen being thrust down in front of the open grave and like the others, this one also had a name. Finn Balor. The date being the exact date of when Wrestlefest would take place and what was once just an open grave, now having a coffin seen inside of it. The sound of something unlocking and the creek of wood would then be heard as the coffin would open and the sight of an exact human clone of Finn Balor would be seen resting in the coffin with his eyes closed.

The clone of sorts which had an eerily human physique and likeness to Finn dressed in Finn Balor’s typical ring gear of trunks and kneepads. Before the scene would cut out to nothing but loud static, the sound of evil laughter that could only be perceived as the deep voice of Undertaker would resonate and chill the bones of everyone in the live audience. Finn included. The look on Finn’s face was one that looked as if he had seen a ghost. Or even better, chill which had run down his spine as if someone had walked over his grave. With him practically frozen in place, Jericho had already been up to his feet around the middle of the video package and was awaiting the prime moment to strike. Now that the lights had come on, Jericho rushed forward to jump off the second rope to the right of the turnbuckle and drop Finn onto the turnbuckle with a quick dropkick. Finn landing crotch-first as his feet was swept underneath him and now his body was lurched forward in agony. Jericho picking up the pieces like the true in-ring general that he was, took full advantage of The Phenom’s mind game and stepped up to the second ropes in front of the turnbuckle only to grab ahold of Finn as he leapt backwards. Managing to hit Finn with a top-rope Codebreaker and a quick pin to seal the deal.

One.. Two.. Three!

“Ladies and gentlemen! The winner of the match, Chris Jericho!”
