Pale-skinned woman with long, black, wavy hair with undertones of violet. Her eyes are lavender and has a pert nose and pink lips. She often wears black leather gloves that limit her mana, a white blouse and black, high waisted pants, both with gold buttons. Some days she wears a crimson half-cloak with a steel pauldron. From the shoulder plate, hangs an upside down cross connected by a gold thread in reference to the martyrdom of Peter the Apostle. At her waist, hangs a long sword, once wielded by her father, Sordello.
In her teens, she had a strong desire to be a man so she would be respected more. A nearly unachievable desire turned to despair and she manifested transformation magic which allowed her to turn into a male version of herself. She called herself “Ains” in this form and used male pronouns. Ains was 6 feet 3 inches and had short curly hair and wide shoulders. Aika’s strength was much more visible in the form of muscles when she was Ains.

She is kind and reserved with those who she respects and is close with, but cold and standoffish with most other people. She will put up masks for the sake of politeness but it’s rarely ever genuine. She lies very easily to get what she wants but she finds it difficult to lie to those she likes. In battle, she is often described as a maniac when faced against many. They say that as a battle drags on, she cannot hide the sadism on her face. Even when faced against an enemy stronger or smarter than her, she is relentless and persistent to the point of recklessness to overpower her opponent.
She is known for out of box thinking and her ability to use her vast knowledge in any given situation. Her greatest asset is her ability to spot potential. Due to this, she is often motherly to those she takes under her wing. This side of her helped her build a successful company/guild that she still runs to this day.
Her love is as deep as her hatred. No matter how many times love has hurt her, she never stopped even if it’s difficult to verbally express it. As of right now in Demons Run, Aika loves her two children Evan and Holly, and her lover, Julius.

Aika was found by her two Fathers, Faven and Sordello in the giant demon skull in Hage, between the legs of her dead mother. She was born slightly premature from a coffin birth. They buried the woman and took her pocket watch as a keepsake for Aika to have. They named her “Aika” which means “time” because of the watch, and as a reminder that the passage of time has both ends and beginnings. They took her home to Alicia, their lover and Aika’s mom to be, and adopted her despite Alicia’s hesitation. She conducted a blood adoption ritual that made Aika their own daughter, changing her appearance from a brunette with pink eyes to dark hair with lavender eyes, her appearance taking after each of her three parents.
They raised her preciously like their own for three years and Alicia gave birth to Aika’s brother, Thorfinn. He had dark hair like her and bright blue eyes. Aika loved her brother to death. While she was barely showing signs of magic, Finn was spewing lightning magic since the day he was born, hence the reason why he was named after the god of thunder. When Finn was three and Aika was six, they were playing in the backyard and Finn accidentally struck Aika’s back with lightning. She died but was resuscitated again by a smaller zap of electricity. She has a scar on her back till this day and the only scar she hasn’t healed despite her ability to do so, as a reminder of her brother.
Throughout Aika’s childhood, everyone were confused as to what her magic was. When she was in a bad mood, plants and little animals around her died, and in a good mood, they flourished. Aika was terrified of her own magic sometimes when it killed fauna so she learned to withdraw her magic so much due an irrational fear to the point where she was slightly sick all the time because of the lack of mana coursing through her.
Instead of using magic, she focused on using her own strength and talents. Her father Sordello was a blacksmith and a swordsman. He taught her everything he knew. Her other father Faven, was an artist: a painter, musician and a writer. Her mother Alicia was the smart one. In Aika’s eyes, she seemed to know about everything. Aika wanted to be all of them and she was. They taught their children all that they needed in life and more.
Around the time when Aika was fifteen and didn’t have a grimoire yet, the whole Tolliver family was traveling through the neutral zone when a pack of bandits attacked them. Her fathers and her brother fought them but they were trapped. Alicia forced Aika to run away while they all withered away to dust by an Ash Magic User.
Aika despaired and manifested her grimoire and something else as she blacked out. When she woke up, everyone were seemingly gone. Aika assumed she somehow killed them. She gathered her family’s ashes and marched to Spade Kingdom. She couldn’t believe how life can be taken so easily, she was still in shock, so she went to the Spade Kingdom War College and proved her worth so she could study Necromancy and bring her family back.
She learned quickly that she couldn’t but she was too far into forbidden magic to stop so she didn’t. She paid her way through college by fighting in underground fighting rings using her freakish strength and studied medicine and forbidden magic. She also dated Morris, a blind boy from the Diamond Kingdom. In her final year of college, she begins to show interest in divinity so as her final project, she conducts a ritual called “Imago Dei.” Directly translated, it means “The Image of God.” In the ritual, Morris and Aika bear the Image of God. They find that God doesn’t appear in one vision, rather it’s a concept, a feeling, a reflection of oneself and everyone all at once.
They of course go insane after everything was said and done but they do recover mentally. Physically, Aika stayed blind for a year. During this time, she found out that Morris was just using her and leaves him. She went to the Heart Kingdom to study Mana Zone under the High Priestess of Undine because of her blindness. She later comes to discover that she has a weak form of clairvoyance as a residue from the ritual she performed.
After Aika recovers her sight, she leaves the Four Suits Continent Aika left the Spade kingdom after she graduated from Spade Nation War College at 21 years old and worked as a necromancer at a funeral home in a country past the Spade Kingdom! She used to help the dead move on peacefully, exorcise any poltergeists, conduct autopsies, keep company for any ghosts at the adjacent cemetery and comfort the living. It’s a job that comes with a lot of responsibilities and she certainly didn’t get paid enough for it.
She then moved on to another country to work as an independent mercenary then worked as a mercenary knight for the royal family of that country. Aika then met and fell in love with the crown princess but their love was forbidden because of the difference in status and obviously, for being homos. But they eloped because it wasn’t forbidden by law and they had a happy few months before the kingdom fell and she couldn’t protect the princess. She died. The princess’s name was Holly.
After the death of the princess, at 24 years old, Aika began to lust for power. She spent 3 years in peace, forgetting what suffering and helplessness was truly like. She couldn’t save her family because she couldn’t figure out what her magic was. And she couldn’t save the love of her life because she was complacent. Even if she was strong, someone will be stronger than her. So she raced for the peak, to be the strongest of the strong. And she also wanted to find someone who had Time Magic just like her.
She found Evan after the fall of the kingdom. Aika wasn’t sure of his species, but he had devil horns and showed signs of being experimented on so she used her own blood to stabilize his condition and took him under her wing as her adopted son. Evan Tolliver wasn’t only a protégé, but also the witness and the biographer of Aika’s life. He saw both her brutality and compassion. Her losses and victories. Life and Death. The Beginning and End of Worlds. He is definitely the person who knows and understands her the most and is content to stay in her shadow.
Because of Aika’s use and overuse of forbidden magic, she has curse where her mere presence causes people’s emotions to turn very negative, almost like insanity. Another curse of hers is that she cannot sleep. She has given up part of her humanity for better control and power of forbidden magic so while she can sleep, she will be stuck in a nightmare world for 8 hours so she simply doesn’t sleep. The only people that can be around her for long periods of time are other dark magic users, 100% non-humans and people who have affinity with her magic.
It’s implied so far in Demons Run but for the next 10 or so years of her life, she fought war after war for whomever that will take her. Revolutions and invasions. Reconnaissance and strategy. Amidst all the wars, she also grew a greater understanding of magic. She wrote a few books on her observations and discoveries.
Because people coveted Aika’s Time Magic, she made a deal with a Faerie named Arthur. In exchange for her first born, Aika’s magic would be erased from the world’s memory. Aika soon gave birth to Holly, a child between herself and Arthur while they were briefly married for contractural purposes, and the deal was sealed. Aika gets to see Holly few times a week but mostly on weekends.
Aika was infamous for her terrifying recklessness. She would continue fighting even after she had been brutalized. She fought with both her arms chopped off. She even fought after being decapitated. The enemy was too shocked at her for moving even after her head flew off so they were killed instantly at her hand. The reason why she is alive after all these fatal incidents is because her stats raise by 500% when she is near death. The perfect buff for a necromantic warrior.
While out there, she made a guild out of all the people who followed her. It was a company that dipped its toes in every industry and when she was settling into business rather than war, Aika slowly started coming back to Clover Kingdom.
There she met the Wizard King and he often commissioned her to help and advise him. Year or two later, they found that the Wizard King’s younger brother was Faven, Aika’s father. There, she had also came to find out that Julius’s magic was Time Magic. They were keeping it under wraps for tactical advantage but the Wizard King revealed it to her. From there, Julius and Aika’s story in Demons Run begins.

POP 2019-2020 Season Preview: Markieff Morris Brings Toughness Off the Bench
POP 2019-2020 Season Preview: Markieff Morris Brings Toughness Off the Bench
Tumblr media
Image: Ned Dishman/NBAE via Getty Images
The Detroit Pistons have been without consistent contributions from the backup big men in recent years. There have been some solid, even exciting, bench bigs, such as Anthony Tolliver and Aron Baynes, who brought hustle, IQ, and leadership behind Tobias Harris and Andre Drummond. Once that duo no longer repped Detroit’s red, white, and blue, the team has…

TWW REWATCH: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc (1x02)
• mandy blaring her rock music while driving recklessly triggers me
• ngl I always hated the line “I drink from the keg of glory! bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.” just being honest
• however I do like donna’s line “it’s going to be an unbearable day.” hey maybe I’ll paint that for my west wing quote I wanted to do. positive vibes only.
• the early theme song always throws me off
• “Sarcasm’s a disturbing thing coming from a woman your age.”
“And what age would that be Toby?”
“...late 20s.”
And then she denies him a cookie and gives one to Sam 😂
• oh my god I forgot about morris tolliver! 😢
• “you should stay here. we got amman, a woman, little kids.” dad joke
• “don’t you have a job approval rating of like 3% or something?”
morris is a savage. I love that he can joke around with Bartlet
• I forgot Bartlet had trouble with the joint chiefs not liking him
• “I’d prefer it if the two of you didn’t get drunk in the middle of the day.”
“No.”
• Daisy was here for one episode and then disappeared to
Tumblr media
• “I remember you.”
“Ah more good news for Toby.” Lol
• Sam why would you tell them your real name that’s so dumb
• “I’ve known this girl my whole life.”
“How do you know Brittany?”
“Who’s Brittany?”
Sam 🤦🏽‍♀️
• I get happy everytime I see the scenes in DC. knowing my favorite show filmed close(ish) to me is so cool.
• also Sam really should’ve left Laurie alone, for both of their sakes.
• I’m so sad everytime morris dies. It’s even worse cause he was a new father 😔
• woah the end credits don’t have the annoying upbeat music? I mean it’s upbeat but it’s not overly loud and obnoxious like the original one they come to have

I will post an Aika x Morris one-shot after I introduce a concept in my fic😎 It’s abt blindness and denial. God, it’s so fucking heartbreaking.
For those of you who are confused, Aika and Morris were classmates/lovers when they were younger and studying forbidden magic.

1.02 Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc
Podcast:
• I never seemed to realize Lloyd Russell (the Senator Mandy goes to work for) was trying to challenge Bartlet
• unpopular opinion: I never thought the “I drink from the keg of glory!” quote was all that great/funny
• Josh was based on Rahm Immanuel, a staffer in the Clinton administration.
• so glad they changed the theme song later on. the original was...not that good lol
• oh yeah Daisy is never seen again. she was one and done. the first one to be mandyville’d.
• “When Leo asked him the names of his wife and new born daughter I thought ‘oh oh dear.’ and then when the President actually asks Morris his wife’s name and kid’s name, I was like ‘oh he’s clearly gonna die.’”
• “Isn’t one of his (Martin’s) arms shorter than the other?”
“I’ll tell you Hirishi I never measured, because that seem like a really personal thing to ask someone.”
Episode:
• oh god Mandy’s erratic driving and yelling CRINGE
• hey CJ mentioned the Wiffenpoofs!
• damn that look Toby gave CJ after making the flippy joke...LOVE.
• I love the scene with Bartlet and Morris Tolliver. So funny and heartwarming and then you feel sad knowing what’s gonna happen.
• I love Bartlet’s sense of humor. Classic dad jokes.
• “I don’t understand did you trip over something?” I love Toby.
• *Josh walks back into Leo’s office*
“She answers to me and she answers to Toby.”
*leaves*
• “I’ve known this girl my whole life.”
“How do you know Brittany?”
“Who’s Brittany?”
I can’t with Sam. He’s such an ass in this scene with this whole ‘saving’ Laurie crap. And then she goes home with him!
• Morris :’(((
