I chose to believe that Duke Thomas, with the utmost care, likes to hide liiiittle tiny bat-themed objects around the manor. Like a hidden mickey situation. Tiny bat symbol at the corner of a painting, taxidermy bat mixed in with a shelf of other Knick knacks, a statuette on the fireplace that looks just a little bit like the cowl at certain angles. Because hey, it’s Funny.

It takes Bruce a while to notice and he’s naturally pissed (that it took him so long, but also) that this could blow their entire operation.

Which means, naturally, that Duke will not stop, but will instead have to get more creative.

Cut to a month after Bruce has told Duke in no uncertain terms to “knock it off” where he gets cozy in bed, about to sleep for the first time in three days, when he realizes that Duke has replaced his entire bedframe. It’s an almost exact replica, almost, but carved into the intricate design, small enough to miss, is a bat symbol tucked amongst the leaves and foliage and what have you.

Cut to Bruce ransacking the manor, uncovering little bat symbols all over the damn place. Under rugs, behind paintings, imperceptible unless you are really looking.

Cut once more to Duke, half giggling half screaming, being chased from rooftop to rooftop by a very angry Batman.

I'm sorry if you already posted this, but this is about the details of the first cars movie, what was the car Pixar used for Lightning McQueen's sounds, bc I cannot for the life of me remember

ONE OF MY FAVORITEST TOPICS!!!!!!!!!!

so lightning, being a 2006 model/cars being in production in the early aughts, is based off of a gen4 NASCAR build. specifically a chevy monte-carlo of the early aughts, as seen in some of his early designwork:

[jogen klubein, 2000]

[bob pauley, 2002] [the art of cars]

some stats:

(from some sketchy assed 2000 website i wont link it but i do have it written down)

i used to swear up and down that there was a special feature that showed a few of the guys from skywalker sound recording one of the g4s (maybe a blue and white dodge??) at skywalker ranch in california (or at the airstrip with the other cars). it may have been an old interview or its on a blu-ray special feature somewhere, but i havent been able to find it. i either dreamt it up or its been lost?? no idea.

but what i have been able to find is some of the stock audio used in Cars. Supposedly this is work done by Ben Burtt at skywalker sound [lucasfilm] in the late 70's??: [link]

For NASCAR purposes, as far as i could tell their engines didnt change drastically from the 70s-2000's, so its not wholly inaccurate to use older clips.

a thing in my notes:

[mixonline. photo dead from link rot]

and now some examples of real-life mcqueens (an excuse to show you cool old stock cars) :

and a few various other references:

(note the flywheel sound we also hear in Cars!)

^video ive only skimmed so far but seems very informative.

and a few canon refs while im here:

[image mine, circa 2020. official 1:18 scale BANDAI replica with certificate of authenticity, approved by jay ward]

[time travel mater] (his carbon fiber cowl induction cover is very funny to me)

SO. to answer the question: its a mix of custom sound design and stock audio. its based in reality heavily, but i believe its also tuned for fiction/per character personality. i forget which interview said that it might be the mixonline one mentioned above or this old autoweek one. he's got something along the lines of partly SB2.2 and an R07. this does not mean pixar recorded specifically these motors, but prooobably something close.

and cars 3 pisses me off because they very clearly did not use any audio off of the g4s, which had a more specific screaming sound to them at high RPMs. COTR actually portrays his exhaust note more accurately than cars 3. Cars 2 is decent also, but the first film is chefs kiss.

i have more various unorganized lmq references but this ask is long enough now and probably doesnt make much sense because i am literally so amped about this topic. please note that this research is partly accurate and partly speculative/opinion. rejoice, mcqueens be upon ye.

I've alluded to the concept a number of times, but here's my redesign for OLC Belle the Sleeping Car wildly roleswapped into a Momma/Poppa figure for Electra, as Belle the GG1. You could probably give her a better name, but Belle is passable enough since all locomotives in the US have bells, I mainly kept it to preserve the flow of her song (see below cut for her version!). Based on their status and appearance in their absolute final running days in 1984. They may look glossy and pretty (if a WILD time warp) but they were on their absolute last gasp physically at this point after running for nearly 50 years, due to a lack of suitable replacement. Her dress follows a similar logic to Greaseball's outfit in that it represents the streamlined cowl, which is why she's less mechanical than most.

Personality-wise, she's also oooooold and based on Ella Fitzgerald, even more heavily than OLC Belle since she's fits perfectly with the time/place/personality of the GG1s. Both started in the mid-30s in New York City, and were noted for being "effortless" and almost unparalleled in their field. I tend to imagine her playing more on the "cute, humble, and improvisational" side of Ella, entering the big race just to have one last good run before she retires, and forgetting lyrics and making up something that sounds natural. In my mind she wins because the tracks are rough and winding, which she's far more used to that the other Nationals, with how decrepit parts of her Northeast Corridor were in the 80s and still are now- experience is a quality that counts for a lot!

She toes the line between OC and AU since she's such a twist on the original but stays largely true to her general concept. I'll call her more of an AU and say anyone is free to use this interpretation if they want, I'm not possessive of it at all.

Realistically she'd be dead as a doornail after 1984 (GG1s will just never run in preservation, they were in such bad shape and would need so much work to function on modern systems you may as well build a new replica). But make a cheeky joke about Controls' mom "sticking the old shell on a new body and not telling the kid" and she can come back. I like to think she'd have a flirty, playful rivalry with Momma/Poppa, she'd make Light At The End Of The Tunnel a duet about how steam is great.... for power plants! The Pennsylvania Railroad just stopped getting more steam engines when it electrified lines vs axing them so she wouldn't have any historical antagonism with them.

Here's my rewrite of Belle's Song largely following the original format, but now about the real history of the GG1s

Speed and youth ain't everything

Experience is a quality that counts for a lot

The sad thing 'bout experience is

By the time you've got it

It's usually all you've got...

I'm Belle, Belle, Belle, the GG1

Had my fifty years of fun

My frame is cracked, I’m almost done

Though in my heart, I long to run

I hauled the folks, I hauled the freight

I made good time, no need to wait

Just couple up and ride with me

I’d get you where you want to be

Once I was the hope for the future, wires run from coast to coast

Service every hour, to everywhere, hauling the post!

Now it’s just tragic…

The war then came, it all fell down

Restriction made the new tech drown

Let autos win, pave over it all

Watched the railroads slowly fall

Still I was a real mainliner, they struggled to replace me

Ran commuter trains into the ground

Down by the sea…. At least it was scenic

Oh, Belle, Belle, Belle, the GG-LOST

I’m worn down, yet I’m still boss

I may not be first class, but I'm not yet worst class

I can still take you when the night is dark

I’m withered, but I ain’t lost my spark

Will Melania's 2025 Inauguration Outfits surpass her 2017 Ralph Lauren & Hervé Pierre outfits?

Inauguration Fashion Poll: Melania Trump

I can't imagine Melania Trump topping her 2016 Ralph Lauren Tiffany blue/powder blue suit or her Hervé Pierre "vanilla silk crepe off-the-shoulder gown with slit skirt, ruffled accent trim from neckline to hem and a claret ribbon around the waist."

Poll:

Melania Trump’s Blue Suit Pattern: Over the years I’ve studied everything I could about America’s First Ladies – from their favorite colors to their decorating schemes, and – of course – what they wore.  No matter what political opinions they or their husbands held, I think of them as an integral part of my country’s history, and a representation of what fashion was doing at the time they lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.Naturally this year I was rather curious to see what the incoming First Lady would choose for her inauguration attire, since she was a former model and is given to wearing rather expensive outfits!  While I didn’t like her inaugural ballgown at ALL, I thought her Ralph Lauren powder blue dress and matching bolero were STUNNING.  With the almost 1960s French twist in her hair, and those long, elegant gloves, she looked effortlessly classic and chic.  Honestly, I think Melania’s inaugural outfit was the most beautiful one we have seen in years. So imagine my surprise when Vogue Patterns just released a nearly identical replica of it in their Fall 2017 collection! (Vogue 9266)  Vogue Patterns nailed all the details of this design – from the crossover cowl neck to the raglan sleeves. They also show a picture of the dress without the bolero on, which you would have only noticed on Inauguration Day if you watched the luncheon in the Capitol rotunda.  (Pictures below).Both dresses have diagonal darts at the neckline and 3/4 length sleeves.  The Vogue Patterns version has looser sleeves than Melania’s, but it looks like the First Lady’s version actually took a zipper to get into the sleeves! Both versions appear to be made from a beautiful wool coating material.For my part, I think Melania Trump is a true connoisseur of fashion, and I’m certain she will go down in history as an icon of First Lady’s style.  And now I’m really tempted to buy this pattern and recreate her outfit!  Thanks to Vogue Patterns for recreating this gorgeous suit!

Happy Sewing, Katrina 

First Lady Melania Trump formally presented the gown she wore to the 2017 inaugural balls to the Smithsonian’s First Ladies Collection, Friday, Oct. 20, during a ceremony at the National Museum of American History. The gown will be displayed in the center of the museum’s popular exhibition, “The First Ladies,” beginning today.

Mrs. Trump’s dress is a vanilla silk crepe off-the-shoulder gown with a slit skirt, ruffled accent trim from neckline to hem and a claret ribbon around the waist designed by Herv­é Pierre in collaboration with Mrs. Trump. Pierre is a French American fashion and costume designer.

For decades, the First Ladies Collection has been one of the most popular attractions at the Smithsonian. The original first ladies exhibition of 1914 was the first display at the Smithsonian to prominently feature women. The exhibition itself has changed in size, location, style and narrative several times over the years.

“Today Melania Trump is taking part in a more than century-old tradition,” said John Gray, director of the museum. “The first inaugural gown donated to the Smithsonian was by Helen Taft, and more than 100 years later we are proud to have Melania Trump donate to this extraordinary collection.”

“The First Ladies” exhibition features 26 dresses and more than 160 other objects, ranging from those of Martha Washington to Melania Trump, and includes White House china, personal possessions and other objects from the Smithsonian’s unique collection of first ladies’ materials, established in 1912. Among the dresses displayed in the exhibition are Grace Coolidge’s flapper-style evening gown, Jackie Kennedy’s yellow-silk gown worn to the Kennedy administration’s first state dinner in 1961 and Eleanor Roosevelt’s slate blue crepe gown, which she wore to the 1933 inaugural ball. First ladies are unofficial but critical members of presidential administrations. For more than 200 years, the public has judged their clothes, their parties, their projects and their roles in the White House.

“It is an honor and a privilege to dedicate my inaugural gown to such an iconic exhibit at the National Museum of American History,” said First Lady Melania Trump.

The exhibition examines this in four main sections: “The Fashionable First Lady” explores the public’s interest in the first ladies’ fashions. Only a few first ladies have become fashion icons, inspiring trends and promoting American designers, but all have had their wardrobes scrutinized by the American public, continuing the debate over what is “appropriate” for presidential style.

“The Nation’s Hostess” looks at the role that the First Lady has played for the nation and the presidential administrations. Each reception or dinner is an opportunity for the First Lady to help build America’s international relationships, win political friends and public support for the President, or further his administration’s legislative agenda. Each First Lady puts her own stamp on presidential hospitality.    

“Inauguration and Opportunities” looks at the inauguration of a President as a time of optimism and new beginnings. In addition to attending ceremonies and balls, incoming first ladies often announce the agendas and special projects they intend to pursue. Some projects are ambitious. Some are traditional. Some may be controversial.

“Changing Times, Changing First Ladies” highlights Dolley Madison, Mary Lincoln, Edith Roosevelt and Lady Bird Johnson, who all fashioned their own ways of handling the White House, families, parties and politics. Through different times and circumstances, they crafted significant roles for themselves that they believed would allow them to best serve the President and the country. 

Through incomparable collections, rigorous research and dynamic public outreach, the National Museum of American History explores the infinite richness and complexity of American history. It helps people understand the past in order to make sense of the present and shape a more humane future. The museum is located on Constitution Avenue N.W., between 12th and 14th Streets, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free.

“It has to be one of us, dick.”

“We’ve gone over this, Tim.”

Dick stands in front of Batman’s suit in the batcave and Tim confronts him. One of them has to be Batman, especially now that someone else is out there pretending to be him.

“Living underground, wearing a replica of my father’s suit and fighting crime. You almost sound like Batman. But you’re not. Nowhere close. There can only be one Batman.”

Tim thinks that this fake Batman wants to be caught because of all the clues he’s intentionally leaving behind.

“And maybe [batman] isn’t me either. But Dick is against taking on the mantle. The piubt of cintentuon being tahtvhe bekives no one shoukd take Batmans place. But look at what’s happened to Gotham without the Dark Knight.”

The #4 Batmobile (aka “the Dragster”) was built of fiberglass from molds taken of the #1. It was built in late 1966 on a Ford Galaxie chassis that was lengthened by 11 inches to match the #1 Batmobile. It was utilized for many exhibition & promotional events throughout the U.S. and Canada from 1966-1968

It was also used in 1967 for exhibition runs at local dragstrips throughout the U.S. The dragstrips included Cecil County Dragway, Dover Drag Strip, Motor City Dragway, Lions Drag Strip, Island Dragway, Richmond Dragway, Irwindale Raceway and many others.

The car has a high performance Holman Moody 427 cubic inch V-8 engine and the only replica that shot flames from the turbine exhaust. When professionally driven by “Wild Bill” Shrewsberry, it could run the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds while approaching speeds of 117 mph.

In 1967 at Island Dragway in NJ, “Many youngsters were chosen at random with lucky tickets to ride in either of the two vehicles. This proved very exciting for the selected children, since all were anxious to ride in their hero’s fabulous Batmobile and Batcycle.”

The #4 Batmobile was also briefly seen during “The Contaminated Cowl” Batman episode which aired January 4, 1967.

In 1968, George Barris decided to cover the car in flocking or “Bat-fuzz.” This velvety, fuzzy finish was used on the car as a trendy addition to accent its features. It was accomplished by first spraying the car with epoxy and then spraying it with nylon fibers that were electro-statically applied. Nylon flocking was resistant to dirt, stains and more durable than paint.

1971 AMC Javelin capable track car & turns heads as stunning show car

In The Unfair Advantage, Mark Donohue wrote, “I thought the 1971 Javelins were about the most attractive Trans Am sedans on the street.”  He also said the Penske Javelins were half race car and half show car.  This car was built with that same approach in mind.  It is a seriously capable track car on the track and turns heads as a most stunning show car.  This car is as close a replica as reasonably possible of the car that won the Trans Am Series Championship in 1971.  There are many “tribute” TA Javelins, but none built to this level of replication. The original car was built by Penske Racing and Mark Donohue.  I am selling the car due to failing eyesight and wishing it to pass hands to a new owner that can appreciate and use the car for what it is, a faithful replica of a Trans Am Champion.

The car was built to replicate not only the look but also the mechanicals and structure of the original car using period technology and parts.  It is not street legal in current form.  The car is stunning to look at and the sound of the exhaust is true Trans Am music. Below are some of the specifications and details about the car. Driven as a “Track Day” car, never raced competitively.

range of emotions tag

thank you, @drchenquill, for the tag! i've never done this one before, so i'm excited to see the results!

OKAY THIS TURNED OUT WAY LONGER THAN I'D PLANNED. the rest is under the cut so i don't clutter your feed with my nonsense. i hope you enjoy seeing my people experience emotions! click now, go click!

DUNCAN - JOY

"Hiii-yah!" The large flat-screen TV crashed to the ground, a crack splintering across the screen.  Kia rolled her eyes despite the grin creeping across her face.  "You're having too much fun with this." "You're just jealous of the karate master."  He chopped the bulky speaker with his hand and whined as the speaker didn't break, in spite of the pain shooting across his fingers. "Oh yeah?  And what makes you so special, karate master?" Duncan patted his legs, the somewhat rusted metal gleaming blue against the string of LED lights that surrounded them.  “Ultimate kick, baby.  Even Bruce Lee got nothin’ on these.  Look, look look look.”  He jabbed his prosthetic at the offending speaker - it crunched under the pressure, shattering into little black and silver pieces.  Even the wires were not safe from his force.  “Can you do that?”

HARLEY QUINN - ANGER

[They’re innocent, Harley.]  Harleen stepped up behind her to rest a hand on her shoulder, so gentle she could almost feel it.  [You know that.  Innocent people corrupted by a toxin they didn’t ask for.  You know it’s not malicious.  It’s not a prank against you.  They’re sick, and their sickness is controlling their actions.  Wouldn’t it be better to help them, rather than kill them?] Harley stared at her reflection in the mirror - at Harleen, her every stupid hair in its stupid place.  Her glasses perched so perfectly on her stupid smooth, never-broken nose.  Her stupid neat lab coat perfectly contrasted Harley’s black and red corset.  She was everything that Harley had once worked so hard to achieve.  She was everything that Harley had left behind to stand beside her Puddin’, and now that Puddin’ was gone, she was trying to take over again. And it.  Wasn’t.  Happening. Harley’s fist shot out to smash against the mirror, sending lightning cracks through the silver-plated glass.  Harleen flickered and vanished, leaving Harley alone with dark streaks through her make-up and smeared lipstick.  Conflicted thoughts rumbled through her head, Harleen at war with Harley once again - she was right, the copies hadn’t done anything, they were just innocent people - but they were trying to copy the Joker, shitty replicas of the masterpiece, how dare they - but they didn’t mean to, it was a symptom of the disease, just like hoarding or addiction - but they had no right to remind her of him, they had NO RIGHT - “SHUT UP - SHUT UP - SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP”

ADEN - SADNESS

“You look awful, Aden.” [Aww, look at him.  He needs a nice permanent nap.  We could help with that.  Isn’t that what you do?  Help people?  Get me his address, and I can help him sooo much!  I wanna put a smile on that sad little face!] The man smiled, but it did not, could not, reach his eyes.  “I’m planning to take a nap after this, don’t worry.  Did you make it out of the city, Bruce?” Bruce nodded.  “Left yesterday.  I’m in my penthouse in Metropolis.  Aden–” “It’s bad, Bruce.”  Aden rubbed his eyes with cracked hands, a rash forming on the heel of his palm.  “It’s really bad.  You know those people that got bitten during care and transport?” “Hard to forget.” “They’re all experiencing symptoms.  Every single one of them.”

BATMAN - NERVOUS

He perched across from Gotham General Hospital, watching the emergency lights flickering inside.  It was uncomfortable to see the place so…dead.  For it was dead – despite the sporadic flash within, there was no life in those walls. It wasn’t like him to be nervous.  After more than a decade in the cape and the cowl, he’d long ago learned to bully back the fear and lock it in a cell within his mind.  But sitting here, seeing the corpse of a place normally so filled with life… it unsettled him.  He wanted nothing more than to turn around, drop into the Batmobile, and continue interrogating that paramilitary soldier that had attempted to run down Officer Kevern in the square. [Who knew the great and powerful Wizard of Bat was a coward?  Bawwwk bawk bawk - not a bat but a chicken!  You disguised yourself as the wrong bird, Bats!]

JAZZ - FEAR

Kia turned back in a daze.  The commander was sitting up now, as if the chunk of flesh torn from his clavicle didn’t faze him.  A white film covered his eyes, just like Rashad’s.  Thick white foam dribbled from his blue lips.   He swayed back and forth for a moment before pushing himself to his feet.  His head slumped to the side, his neck no longer able to support its weight.  With a savage snarl, he threw himself at Jazz. This time, the soldiers didn’t hesitate.  Jazz shrieked and dropped to their knees as a hail of bullets peppered the wall behind them.  The commander shook and thrashed as several bullets buried into his flesh.  After a moment, he collapsed, a pool of his own blood spreading slowly from his still body. Jazz didn’t move.  They stayed cowered before the body, the broom brandished in front of them.  Soft whimpers and distant screams filled the night sky. One more groan filtered from the stairwell.  Duncan dragged himself forward, hands slapping at anything that could give purchase.  One soldier stepped forward and ended him with a single shot to the head. Kia didn’t watch her best friend’s execution.  Her eyes were locked on Jazz.  She’d never seen the petty thief so cowed, so terrified.  And they had every right to be.  Her own body buzzed with adrenaline, yet she was a cold marble statue.  Even her jacket wasn’t enough to keep her from shivering.

JASON TODD / THE ARKHAM KNIGHT - ANXIETY

A sharp pain lanced through his chest with every beat of his thundering heart.  Every ragged pant tore through him, yet not one brought the sweet chill of oxygen to his lungs - his throat constricted, invisible hands clamping down.  His hands tightened on the edge of the desk til his knuckles were white and a fingernail cracked, but no pain accompanied the injury.  He recognized what was happening, but from a distance, watching himself from the corner of the room rather than experiencing it in his own body. He was spiraling, and he could do nothing but watch helplessly as he succumbed to the panic that the situation forced upon him. [That’s what I tried so hard to teach you, little birdie!  You’re a failure.  You haven’t even started yet and you’re already a failure.  It’s okay to give up, you know.  No one will even know!  Except for me – and we both know I’ll remind you every single day.  There’s no fun in failure if it doesn’t haunt your nightmares!] A warm hand rested on his arm, a comforting if temporary distraction from the ice that gripped him.  He raised his head to meet a steady gaze.  “They’ll evacuate.”  Anderson’s tone left no room for argument.  “The commissioner has strong morals, doesn’t he?”  Jason nodded.  “A man like that will not let the populace stay in the city.  He’ll move mountains to save as many people as he can.  That’s how you described him.  “I assure you, he’s doing whatever he can to convince the mayor to -” Breaking news – Mayor Dixon has called an emergency press conference regarding the unfortunate tragedy at Pauli’s Diner on Grand Avenue.  Reporting live at the scene is Brad Wilson, chief correspondent.  Do we know anything about what this speech will cover, Brad? Both sets of eyes flicked to the small TV as a well-groomed man beneath a clear umbrella spoke into a microphone.  “Breathe, Jason” Anderson urged, though his eyes remained locked on the news broadcast.  “You’re going to give yourself a heart attack.  Slow breaths, like we practiced.” For a moment, Jason rebelled against the instruction.  He was the Arkham Knight.  Anderson was just a lieutenant – his right hand man, yes, but still beneath him.  Who was he to order around his superior like that?  …but he was right.  Breathing like this would only force his heart to pound faster, keep him trapped in the cycle of panic.  He forced himself to slow down, to inhale for two seconds, hold it in for two seconds, release it for three seconds.  His chest ached with the effort, but after several breaths, he found it came easier and easier.

KIA - DISGUST

"Yo."  Duncan straightened, his eyes locked on the window.  "I think Asher's waking up." Kia shoved the thought back down and forced her attention back to her friend.  He was moving under the doctor's gloved hand, but something was…wrong.  His shoulders jerked hard enough to lift his torso off the bed, over and over.  The doctor barely seemed to notice as he turned to face the IV stand.  The nurse pulled a strap from the side of the bed and leaned across his twitching body to grab its other half. Asher's head shot forward.  The nurse let out an ear piercing scream as his teeth snapped closed on her ear.  Blood sprayed against the flashing machines that filled half the room.  The doctor spun around, the window silencing his shouts.  He grabbed the nurse’s shoulders as Asher fought against his restraints, his gleaming teeth never loosening on her ear, a rabid dog clinging to a prize bone. Duncan shouted in alarm and shot off down the hall toward Shannon.  Kia could not move, her face pressed against but not feeling the cold glass.  Thick red drool dripped from her best friend’s mouth.  She was trapped in a screening for a horror movie, and all she could do was stare. And just like that, it was over.  Asher’s body slumped back onto the bed, dragging a gold hoop from the stubbed remains of the nurse’s ear.  The doctor rushed her out of the room, shoving past Kia with a shout.  Shannon caught the nameless victim as she stumbled, and she helped the doctor usher her away.  Hands grabbed her arms, spun her around.  Duncan spoke, his expression etched with worry, but Kia didn’t know what he said.  Even with her hearing aids still turned on, she couldn’t hear a thing. That wasn’t Asher, not anymore.  But as Duncan guided her down the hallway to the elevator, she couldn’t stop wondering who - or what - the hell her friend had become.

Honorable, brutish, and large, he tends to solve things directly and violently though is more reasonable than SCP 3456.2 C. Tends to spend his time training by himself or even MTFs and has fought other SCPs such as SCP 076, 096, and even the infamous 682. Further examination of his weapon Chaoseater had the Foundation recreate another weapon with similar materials.

Profiled tag: SCP-3456-2-D "War"

Class: Thaumiel (risk of Apollyon level)

SCP description:

Standing at around 8'1 in height and ranked heavy in the weight spectrum, War is a classification of a juggernaut. Bulky and cantankerous, he has demonstrated his ability that proves his physical strength is unmatched and can only be bested by a superior combat thinking mind.

As his sibling. SCP-3456-B "Strife" has mentioned, it took all three of them combined to subdue him when he was in a state of bloodlust and rage.

Adorned in a variety of armour sculpts of harrowing, haunting and grotesque visages of tormented faces, the only part of him that remains uncovered is his face, revealing a light but more natural skin tone but not without the draped scarlet cowl that crowns a hood over his head, obscuring mainly the upper portion of his face in shadow. A searing crescent appears to be tattooed on his forehead, the spiked ends pointed downward and crossing over the bright, blue-white coloured eyes. Beneath his cowl is long, white hair.

War has a very direct approach when it comes to overcoming challenges ahead of himself, often through brute force as his primary charge but despite this, he has proven himself to have a deep-rooted code of honour that keeps his otherwise brutish nature in check. Understanding and able to reason, this is a stark contrast to his fellow SCP-3456-C. He also has a great and key mind for tactics and war-path strategy, earning him access to being the directive head of planning MTFs missions and assignments.

When not restricted to the confines of his containment cell and freely roams the site, he can be found either training by himself or training numerous MTF squads.

For his viscous calling to battle, War is eager to engage a threat head on if it means to protect and preserve, Whether this ideology stems from his code of upholding the balance or to keep his siblings safe. So far, War has come into contact with SCP-076 and 096 and also 682 a handful of times, seemingly determined to eliminate this threat that defies the course of natural order.

As for his weapon, Chaoseater, (SCP-2-D-HC) the weapon is infused to him and somehow pertains a slivered amount of his very lifeforce; perhaps granting him a near immortal state should his physical body die then the blade can somehow act as a form of resurrections point. The blade is as tall as he is alone and not counting the hilt. A wide frame makes up the blade and like his armour, it has a magnitude of sculpted moaning faces.

Though not as semi-sentiant as the Harvester or as magically possessed, the Chaoseater does carry a dark and powerful aura about it. It is bound to War in a way that only enables him to be its wielder and though there have been attempts to replicate the blade during its forging process, there has been no success. Each time there has been a replica of Chaoseater, it quivers and the metal cracks and splinters when in the presence of its parent variant - almost as if it refuses to be copied.

The blade also has a tether to War's ferocity in battle and is able to increase War's tenacity amidst his conflicts. The blade does not require a sheath and by some magical possession, the blade has the ability to stick to War's back with ease, unable to be dislodged unless compelled by its wielder.

For War's second counterpart, he too rides on an equine of his own unique design. Much like each of the Horsemen, War's steed reflects his rider's personality and aspects. The largest of the Horsemen's mounts, Ruin (SCP-2-D-ER) has the appearance of a draft or war horse. A fiery and temperamental creature only able to calm by the hand of his rider.

With a dark ebony coat as hard as rock and smoldering hot as magma, a line of carven runes line the side of his neck, the language or meaning behind such markings is unknown. Unlike Despair, Ruin's coat may be lacking of evident hair, there is a smoothness to his body and his mane and tail are made of coarse, long hair. From within he is like a volcanic surge, a fiery amber glowing from the eyes, nostrils and markings or scarring on his body with his cracked hooves also being engulfed by flame.
