Description for CASPER VIA Battery :

1. Try to use the original charger. Compared with the original charger, the non-original charger has a certain gap between the output current and the voltage. The long-term use of the non-original charger can not only reduce the service life of the mobile phone battery, but also cause the battery of the mobile phone to explode and catch fire.

2. Lithium-ion batteries should be protected from full discharge during use (use a black screen to power down).

3. Do not place the phone in a high temperature environment. When the mobile phone is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will cause the battery temperature to suddenly increase or even explode.

4. Should try to keep the phone away from the water source, in case the battery is short-circuited by moisture.

5. If the battery has abnormal conditions such as drum belly and damaged casing, stop using it immediately and replace it with a new one.UK-online.co.uk is the home of British most comprehensive laptop batteries,dell Laptop Battery,and ac adapters website.

Beautiful Stranger:

Don’t let daydream too much or else you’ll lose yourself.

Now Playing: Beautiful Stranger - Laufey

Today wasn't the best start for a week. You almost missed your bus and are currently squished between two men with a hangover. How do you know this? It totally isn't that they reek of alcohol, well of course it is. You look up, seeing the most gorgeous man you’ve ever met sitting across from you stuck to his chair face in a newspaper titled “A piano falls from 3 story building almost killing a civilian” you could see he had white hair that stuck out of the newspaper covering his face. Cute, you thought to yourself, you don’t notice you’ve been staring for so long that he had looked up at you and your (h/c) hair, you swear you saw him smile and wink at you. You looked away, blushing your heart felt like it was going to burst, but you didn’t want to be rude. Still, you knew he was beautiful under that newspaper covering him. Then the bus came to an abrupt stop, you heard the doors open and you knew it was your stop.

You pick up your bag and get up, walking out of the bus and onto the street. As you walked to your jobs building you daydream, what if you didn’t get off that bus? What if you stood up and dared to ask for his name? What would’ve happened? Your fairy tail moment could’ve occurred right then and there! Your beautiful stranger would have to be another one of your innocent crushes on pretty people you see while going to work once again. You get your phone out as you follow behind the small crowd of people crossing the street, texting your favorite reaper, Casper.

“Saw this really pretty guy while on the bus, he kind of reminded me of you tbh :(“

You send the text, close your phone and continue to follow behind the crowd of people crossing with you, but in a split second your vision suddenly goes dark. What happened? You feel pain, it hurts. It hurts so bad. You feel something wet underneath you, your chest feels heavy, and it’s hard to breathe. Breathing feels like a dagger above your lungs and heart, poking you with each breath. You hear panicked screaming, you open your eyes abit.. It’s blurry but you see the pretty stranger you saw on the bus earlier..? No no, that’s Casper..! You take a labored breath, even if it feels like hell you can’t take holding your breath anyway. You see him walking and hear his panicked voice “Sunshine!” he runs over to you, what happened..? you turn your head to the side, you're bleeding out. there’s a car pulled over in the middle of the road with blood on its tires, is that yours..? You look down, your chest is pressed inwards. What the fuck?! You feel tears falling down your face, your lips opening slightly to let out a barely audible scream. It hurts it hurts it hurts..! You feel yourself slowly losing consciousness, with your last bit of energy you move your hand to intertwine with Casper’s. Then with the last of your breath you say with your voice lower than a whisper and only for the ears of the person who was supposed to kill you, now begging you to stay alive “I love you.”

It’s been a few months since the accident, Casper even helped set up your funeral. But now in his room, hugging Azrael, tears falling down from his eyes to his cheeks and then soaking Azrael's soft plush. Your pet beside him asleep and your closed laptop on his desk beside his computer, you're dead and nothing will bring you back. All because of a woman who decided she wanted to speed ten times over the limit. He was enraged, he still is but he misses you. He never realized he would, but here he is. Crying over your death.

Maybe next time, you can make that innocent crush into something more than just a daydream.

casper's instagram post about rafa's retirement

[corrupted-inkwell]

DP OC PARADE: Day 1/ INTRODUCTION

Name: Dionysia Nova

Half greek half american Female

Nickname: Dia (dubbed by Danny)

Birthday: 24th of April

Age: 15-16yo

Species: Halfa

-Vegan metalhead, kickboxing champ

(Listens mostly to nu metal and power metal, her guilty pleasure is emo bands and refuses to admit it.)

MORE LORE UNDER THE CUT:

-Parentified eldest daughter so she takes the Mom Friend™ role of the friend group very seriously. Always there to lend a hand and support. Proactive and prepared for emergencies with a first aid kit (for Danny and herself), tissues, disinfectant, extra snacks (Sam's fav vegan protein bars), painkillers, water, screen wipes (for Tucker's glasses) etc in her backpack. She's very open with expressing physical affection to her loved ones but she kinda short circuits when others express it towards her.

-Generally very timid and doesn't take much personally, she conserves her limited energy for important manners but she absolutely won't hesitate to punch, kick or bite anything and anyone if provoked. Especially if her loved ones are threatened.

Human Lore: she transferred to Casper High after her mom and dad separated. Her mom took a proposal for her dream job back to her homeland and Dia decided to follow her after getting expelled from her old school, unfortunately leaving her brother behind with her father and abandoning her athletic career. Sam ecstatic to see another alternative girl like herself in the school urges the boys to adopt her in the trio. As 15 year olds, the boys are hesitant at first, thinking that Sam was the only girl capable of hanging out with them. They are quickly proven wrong when Dia turns out to have a lot in common with them so they quickly develop an affinity for her and embrace her in the friendgroup.

After hanging out with the group for a whole semester and accidentally finding out about Danny's secret identity, she takes on the role of ground support for him alongside Sam and Tucker. Using their combined wits, talents and ofc Fenton tech/weapons. She's accumulated plenty of martial prowess due to her experience as a kickboxing champion so her close range weapon is the Fenton Gauntlets and for long range damage she utilises her sharp aim with the Fenton Ecto-Sniper.

Halfa Lore: Months pass and missions are going quite smoothly with everyone's contribution, that is until a particular recon mission in the Ghost Zone. While Jazz and Dia were providing insights to the Specter Speeder via the lab computers, an unforeseen threat chased after the Speeder damaging one of it's thrusters in the process, the Speeder came crushing through the Fenton Portal, damaging it's ectofiltrator panel, lightly injuring Danny, Sam and Tucker on board and almost dragging Jazz in it's collision path into the lab. The damage to the portal caused it to have a small combustion. Unfortunately Dia's back was facing the explosion while trying to help Jazz up and away from it, it caused a huge burn on her back and contaminated her all the way to the nerve with ectoplasm. The team panicked and desperate to save their friend, asked for Vlad's assistance since he seemed to have experience on this type of ecto-injury. With his help the contamination turned Dia into a halfa within a weekend (the Fenton's were away visiting Aunt Alicia). Of course Vlad sees this as the perfect opportunity to once again try and acquire a halfa child of his own after his last failed attempt with Dani. While Dia is recovering and slowly manifesting her ghost powers Vlad tries to manipulate her away from the team, weaponising her insecurity as the new kid who's having difficulties fitting in. After the team catches wiff of his plan they are quick to pull Dia back to their side. Sam designed Dia's suit to help her feel part of the team.

Ghost Powers: a water core manifested due to her ability to adapt in situations. Her powers are violet hued and include the basic ecto-blasts, rays and shields. Her water powers work as a reinforcement to boost Danny's ice powers and if used incorrectly, also as a conduit to Vlad's electrical powers.

Fighting Style: Close range kickboxing with ecto-charged limbs and short shields, for long range she uses beams, shots and waves. She has the ability to change the temperature of the water she casts. She can also create fluid ecto-constructs like weapons. Fighting style similar to Danny's since he's the one training her but she prefers working as his cover and defence while he goes on the offence.

Instead of a ghost wail she develops a banshee scream that shuts down most electronics in the vicinity and stunts enemies and allies alike. The Fentonphones have the ability to minimise the affects on the wearers. She scarcely uses this power since it can also damage her allies.

Her ghost sense manifests as a release of a steamed sigh instead of a frosty exhale like Danny's.

The burn from the explosion healed into a scar that resembles cracked glass and covers most of her back, back of neck and back of upper arms. The scars light up when ecto-energy runs through them.

Ghost Alias: Supernova (might change it later idk still workshopping it) Phantom's support and defence, started out as his sidekick until she evolved with training to be his equal ally.

Relationships: Sam's best galpal. Very close friends with Danny and Tucker. The 4 of them hang out all the time trying to have fun like regular teens but also find themselves constantly tangled in ghostly shenanigans. Dia helps Sam realise that they're both just like other girls and that's okay. Through that Sam, Dia, Dani, Valerie and Jazz start having girl-nights to strengthen their friendship. As an eldest daugher/sister she finds a lot of common ground with Jazz. She tries to not make the same mistake as Danny by developing a crush on Valerie but she loves their sparring sessions as seasoned martial artists a bit too much. Sam, Val and Dia also become gym buddies and constantly push each other to get stronger and more adept in different martial arts.

Dia's mother travels a lot for work so she's mostly alone in the apartment, she can't stand the silence so she first adopts a stray cat she found behind the school dumpsters and named her Liz. After meeting Dani in the Ghost Zone and having a while rescue mission arc with her, she then also proposes to "adopt" Dani so she can have a stable roof while the group tries to figure out what to do with the whole clone situation. She acts like an older sister to her mostly because she empathises with the girl and cares deeply for her but also because she misses her own younger brother back in Greece.

Her unsupervised apartment serves as a good hangout spot for the group's gaming sessions, sleepovers, movie nights and ghostly research.

Character traits: Her gloomy appearance works as a shield of assumption, it makes people hesitant to mess with her, she's actually a sweetheart when you talk to her, but also lowkey feral under the surface. Same interests as the rest of the trio more or less. Passionate and loud about her beliefs, sharp wit and street smart but as child of two renowned academics she doesn't hold up to their expectations, she's not a great student. Compassionate and crafty, has the ability to look at a situation from multiple angles and uses her insight to be a good negotiator and to find the best compromise for everyone involved. Very self-sacrificing. Doesn't open up easily and when she does it all comes spilling out.

She loves doodling away in her sketchbook while listening to music or binging animated series during her free personal time. As a balkan kid she's kinda desensitized to underage drinking and breaking rules, if her patience runs out she will recommend the most chaotic unhinged course of action.

She feels deeply and her main objective is to ensure her loved ones are always safe and happy.

The original draft of her introduction HERE

I decided to name this AU Squared Disaster and it takes place before the canon season 3 of the series. I love this OC like she's my own daughter and I can't wait to put this lil BLORBO through situations™

Can't wait to see everyone else's OCs and their lore I'm so thankful for this event and I hope we all have a good time here!

P.S: a HUUGE THANKS to the @/theillustraitor for the DP renders they literally saved my life while working on this character sheet. Thank you for your contribution to the phandom.

Also sorry for any grammar/meaning errors, english is not my native language and I'm also wee brainfogged these days (lol always but anyway)

[curse-d-owl]

I once saw a Three Hopes video that confirmed that there exists a lines towards Alois as if he's a playable unit. Now whether that was the case or not is only up for speculation since said lines could've been implemented differently from its current usage, like for example a CPU getting a compliment.

That aside this made me wondering what other lines exists for non playable characters and this is all the results I've gathered so you can check it out for yourself.

I will be adding the voice like of the character and the number. So for instance Linhardt's 5th engage line confirms that he faces an approaching Hanneman for example.

So without further ado here are the results.

For the record i only use the engage section of each character since they're only used when said character is a boss and reacts to a specific character. To clarify what i mean Linhardt's engage line indicates he's a boos and the character that approaches him triggers a character specific line, like him having a specific like for Edelgard.

Engage dialouge:

Hanneman - Linhardt 5, Manuela 2

Leopold - Casper 8, Holst 7, Jeritza 8

Gregoire - Bernadetta 7, Yuri 9

Kronya - Monica 6

Cornelia/Cleobulus - Dedue 6, Hapi 5

Agarthans - Dedue 7, Lysthiea 7, Hapi 8, Seteth 6, Sothis 7

Lonato? - Ashe 6

Enemy defeat dialogue:

Agarthans - Shez 4, Edelgard 13, Lysithea 8, Hapi 8, Jeritza 9, Sothis 7

Matthias - Dimitri 9, Rodrigue 8

Nader - Claude 9, Hilda 8, Holst 9

Ludwig - Ferdinand 9

Waldemar - Linhardt 6

Gregoire - Edelgard 11, Hubert 10 Bernadetta 8, Yuri 9 ( You can actually see this lines in game via the record keeper and beating Scarlet blaze. The level that he appears in is from Azure Gleam, chapter 6 and the last quest called Clash in Gillingr. You must defeat Gregoire with before the yellow commander to trigger these lines )

Alois - Bernadetta 5, Catherine 6, Shamir 4, Jeralt 2

Kronya - Monica 6

Lonato - Ashe 8

Miklan - Sylvain 10

Gilbert/Gustave - Annette 8 ( Same deal as Gregoire. Beat both Azure Gleam and Golden Dumpsterfire and said level Gustave appears in is from GW chapter 14, the last quest called The Way to garreg mach )

Cyril - Hilda 8, Flayns 6, Catherine 8, Shamir 7, Rhea 5

Cornelia - Hapi 5

Hanneman - Manuela 3

Leopold - Jeritza 8

Honorable mentions:

Raphael's 6 engage quote has him talk mad shit against Balthus. I never knew he had it in him to talk shit and especially against a seasoned fighter that's older and has a heroes relic.

Holst's 10th engage dialouge is for relic wielders and mentions how it would be amusing to lose to a crestless fighter. His victory quote has him mention that hard work helps you accomplish anything.

Marianne's engage quote has her asking her opponent to surrender solely cause she doesn't want to hurt their steed and her victory quote has her mourning the death of said steed she was forced to kill :(

And a dishonorable mention for Ingrid 4th defeat quote against Dedue for solely referring to him as Dimitri's vassal.

Drifting - Part 1

Geckins and chintians are very good mechanics.

Watching either species work, it would be easy to assume that all either of the one-foot-tall species had to do was glance at an engine and they'd be able to say 'oh, that's how that works'.  That wasn't true of course, but their knack for mechanics and ability to build, repair and design machines was unparalleled amongst the stars.

The one thing both species did better than any of the larger species of the galaxy was mechs. To the humans, the moment they glimpsed a hulking walking machine, all their science fiction dreams came true in one moment. As to why it was the diminutive species that invented machines that made the taller and larger species have to look up, no one wanted to really say out loud. The geckins almost proudly wore the chip on their shoulder about their size thanks to the far larger ssypno struggling to convert the geckin people into a vassal state before seemingly giving up. The chintians on the other hand always had their eye on their neighbours; the canids. Neither species had a good introduction in the Galactic Community and had paid for their membership in blood.

 The design of their machines however, differed depending on who made them.

Chintians piloted their mechs via the use of artificial intelligence, two separated minds working in tandem with one another. Talking, communicating and planning their goals together. The geckins however, used direct connection with the machines themselves. There wasn't an intelligence within the machine like the chintians, but the pilots often reported that the machines had a personality beyond their own.

The short comings of the chintian design was the delay in between seeing and reacting to something, not to mention the separation between mech and pilot. The issues with geckin design was the draining aspect of piloting their mechs on the pilot itself. Geckin pilots were often geckins who appeared sickly, tired or gaunt. As if they were being drained of their very life force.

But, for the time being, these mechs were not heavily used in fighting. At least not officially. The Galactic Community government had no mechs in their standing army, regardless of what reports from separatist forces suggested. The GC merely pointed out soldiers of fortune were a thing and they could utilise whatever hardware they had access to.

It was when Casper had been practically dumped in Geckin territory with his meagre belongings that he shortly afterwards discovered all of this. The fact that they greeted him atop walkers that put them at his height was not lost on him. The fact he reacted with unconcealed amazement and awe meant that Casper, very quickly, became a celebrity on the Geck home world, his reaction and gushing about the walkers broadcast over and over to all corners of the planet.

It was a mere three weeks later, when Casper was in his quite opulent home a top a tower in the main city, surrounded by a good thirty geckins that they discovered yet more things they liked about humans.

"What's this one say?" Asked a yellow geckin, Casper had given up trying to remember all their names and they simply didn't care. Most seemingly just shouted 'oi, you' and the geckin they were talking to looked round. The young man looked round and observed the DVD that the geckin had pulled out of the pile. Casper had merely seen what was happening on the horizon the other month and swept his had across his shelves of DVDs and tossed them all into a bug out bag along with his books and anything else to hand.

To this day he couldn't say why he'd saved the media, he hadn't thought about it. He just did.

"That one is... Ha... Casper the friendly ghost." He replied with a grin, the translators not having his written language yet meant anything written had to be translated for them.

"You have a story written about you?!" A green geckin exclaimed, jumping from the shelves onto Casper's back. One had to get used to geckins clambering all over oneself if they were staying in geckin space. He could feel no less than three geckins in the various pockets of his cargo pants, fully asleep enjoying the heat of his legs through the material.

"No, just a coincidence. He's about a dead human." That immediately lost any interest in the tale.

"What about this one? Looks like a Tax Two?" Asked a red geckin, holding up a different case.

"Oh, Pacific Rim. Giant monsters attack and the only way to beat them back is giant mechs. What's a Tax Two?"

Casper's question was initially ignored as a surge of multiple-coloured scales across many different creatures ran towards the one holding the approved DVD. It was amazing to the man how quickly they had reinvented a device capable of reading the DVD correctly, but again; it was a species of engineers.

As they settled, Casper's lap becoming buried in the geckins and the rest of the oversized furniture, at least to them, was likewise covered.

"Oh and a Tax Two is a heavy loader. Manipulators instead of weapons. Good for tearing vegetation out and clearing areas, although I bet it could knock out an ursidain if you gave it a swing."
