#Fiero Formula

[automotiveamerican]

I Like the Pontiac Fiero, there I said it!

Now, I’m not sure why but I do like a Fiero, it was a real departure for GM and for me it worked. The 1987 GT you can see above is available (at time of writing) for $10K on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Allentown, Pennsylvania. (Click the link to view the listing) Quite a number have arrived in Europe over the years as you can see here. They have also been used a platform for supercar…

Find Out Your Ceresian Senator Name!

(made with love, the d20 gang put a lot of work into diversifying character names, & as I was doing my etymology post I noticed similarities but no clear formula so I thought I’d write one for funsies)

First Name: The first letter of the street you grew up on (if you didn’t grow up on a street feel free to use a town/city name, or a landmark!).

I included alternates for gender reasons - a/o means the name can end with either a or o depending on your preference, e.g. Emilio vs Emilia. You can probably also throw an -e at the end of some of them if (like me) you wanna be a bit nonbinary about it.

A - Aurelius (Adria, Andrea) B - Bianca (Bacchus, Basilla) C - Cara (Cassius, Camila/o) D - Dominic (Donatella/o, Daniela) E - Emanuel (Emanuela, Emilia/o,  Eduardo) F - Francisco (Fabrizia/o, Fiero) G - Giuseppe (Graciela, Gio) H - Hercules (Hero, Hermes) I - Ignazia/o (Imelda, Isabella) J - Jupiter (Jiovanni, Juno) K - Katarina (Kronos, Celeste) L - Lorenzo (Luca, Loretta) M - Marco (Messina, Manuela) N - Nunzio (Natalia, Nico) O - Oliverio (Ouranos, Roberta/o) P - Patrizia/o (Paula/o, Pallas) Q - Quirinus (Pietro, Ricarda/o) R - Rizzo (Rafaela/Rafael, Renata) S - Silvio (Sabina/e, Serafina/o) T - Titian (Tullia/o, Terra) U - Ulysses (Urania/Uranus, Rosetta) V - Valentina/o (Venus, Vesta, Vesuvio) W - Luigi (Mario, Rosalina) X - Xanto (Romeo, Diana, Apollo) Y - Ylenia (Saturn/Saturnus, Minerva) Z - Zappa (Mars, Melete, Diana)

Last name: The last letter of your favorite food

A - Bucatini B - Capellini C - Bavette D - Matriciani E - Pappardelle F - Scialatelli G - Spaghettini H - Tagliatelle I - Trenetti J - Vermicelli K - Anelli L - Cascatelli M - Castellane N - Cavatappi O - Farfalle P - Garganelli   Q - Passatelli R - Paccheri S - Rigatoni T - Strozzapretti U - Testaroli V - Cannelloni   W - Agnolini X - Cappaletti Y - Fagottini Z - Sacchettoni

Voila! Now just put “Senator” (or another Roman govt position if you want) in front of it. I’m Senator Andrea Trenetti!

I also did some optional funsies for those of us with dice we never get to use:

Roll 1d20 


If it lands on a 1, you are straight up a loaf of bread. use the Bread Table under the cut


If it lands on a 2-10, you are a pasta dish. Use the last name chart for your first name, and use the Pasta Dish Table under the cut for your last

If you roll a nat 20, you are may choose b/w

a popular snack food. Use the Snack Table under the cut
. 

you can also use the first name chart and use the snack table for your last name if you want

a Ceresian folk deity. not a senator anymore, but arguably funnier. Use the Deity Table under the cut

otherwise, use tables above as normal.


In The Ravening War, all of the senators also got “tribune” titles like “Tribune of Triscutia” - if you want one of those, you can either:

Use the last name table but use first letter of your favorite food

Use either the Bread, Pasta Dish, or Snack table under the cut

Bread Table

Roll 1d12 or use your birth month

1. Panettone (you have a little Candian on your mother’s side of the family) 2. Muffuletta 3. Pane rustico 4. Panino 5. Pita 6. Tortano 7. Baguette 8. Ciambella 9. Fugassa 10. Friselle 11. Crescentina 12. Boule

Pasta Dish Table

Roll 1d20 or how many mozzarella sticks do you think you could eat in one sitting? (if you can’t eat mozzarella sticks imagine carrot sticks instead)

1. Arrabiatta 2. Amatriciana 3. Bolognese 4. Capresi   5. Bottarga 6. Indiavolati 7. Siracusani 8. Scarpariello 9. Boscaiola 10. Fagioli 11. Lucchesi 12. di Mare 13. Napoletana 14. Puttanesca 15. Ragu   16. Sorrentina 17. Tartufo 18. Valtellina 19. Zucca 20. Cacio-pepe

Snack Table

Roll 1d6, or rate the last movie you saw from 0-5 stars (or 1-6 if you don’t want to do math)

Tostito(s)

if you like you can also use Fritos or Dorito(s)

Chex (you can add a last name that describes the kind of Chex if you want)

Pepperidge (like Pepperidge farms)

Ritz

Kellogg (you can add a last name that describes the kind of Kellogg’s food item if you want)

General Mills

you can forgo the “Senator” title if you so chose and just be “General Mills”

the ancient Roman govt Ceresia is based on had a lot of interplay between the military and the government so like. Generals still have govt. sway.

you could also just be “Senator Mills”

Deity Table

Roll 1d6 or tbh just pick which one you like they’re all fun

you are now known as Ben the Original, but you have never forgotten your past life as Uncle Ben.

you are Little Miss Sunbeam, a maiden goddess of light and happiness

you are the Triple God, the Holy Trinity, and your aspects are Snap, Crackle, and Pop

you are a Keebler elf, one of a large family of forest spirits hidden deep in the mountains on the border of Candia and Ceresia

you are Umaemon, an otherworldly cat-like being with unknowable powers and dual aspects of both cat and human.

you are the Pillsbury Doughboy.

Dolore

Raccontare un dolore profondo non è uno sfogo e nemmeno una richiesta di conforto o consolazione, è soprattutto una testimonianza. Quando e dove tutti hanno una serie di soluzioni dire che qui e ora per me non c’è nessuna soluzione è una formula di assoluzione e liberazione. Posso stare male, posso gestire il dolore, posso sentirmi solo, posso non avere un cane con cui parlare, posso evitare di cercare ripieghi o compagnie fasulle, posso ribadire tutti i no che ho detto a tutte quelle che mi volevano frequentare, perché no era e no rimane, posso rivendicare il mio diritto a stare male in un mondo che da millenni lascia sgomenti pensatori e filosofi di altissimo calibro, credenti e non credenti. Posso affrontare a testa alta l’orrore del male, posso piangere se ne sono capace, posso essere fiero della mia opposizione al falso benessere e alla falsa gioia. Posso credere che se la mia testimonianza dà sollievo anche a una sola persona ho fatto bene a scriverla.

Ho fatto un sogno bellissimo: l'Inter perdeva 6 a 0 e io ero felice

E lo dico da interista, non so se fosse coppa Italia, amichevole o altro, perdeva 6 a 0 contro il Trapani Calcio e ioero così fiero e orgoglioso, anche perché mi faceva pensare a quella partita di coppa Italia del 2013 che rischiava di finire in pareggio, così con questo 6 a 0 sarebbe stata una sorta di rivincita morale

Chissà se si riaffronteranno mai, dovranno passare ancora anni, a meno che non cambiano la formula della coppa Italia

AC: The Mini Indy 500 - Formula Student MAD MFT01 "Phoenix" @ GPK Indian...

These are the size cars he's talking about and it's fictitious but they look just like Indy cars and they've got the bigger tires and they go very fast and he said you put a motorcycle engine in from a superbike and on the track thier on you probably go 300 miles an hour. Of course they would limit it but really this handle so well and could go so fast and people can see that it's intense and the factory five has a couple like it but they just are not like this these are real but they are CGI but this is the idea and they would be extremely fast and he wants you guys to do it cuz you're saying you're doing all those kids stuff and it's kind of kids stuff but it's not you can make small cars at work real well

Thor Freya

I want to see this I want to make a chassis that small and I want to put 1100 cc or superbike there usually 1100 to 1300 cc and see how fast it goes and how well it handles it looks like a damn trip and I'll tell you what these things looking very fast and they probably are there's a couple reasons to do it we can make small cars you can make them go fast and he says yeah you make the C1 which is a little smaller than the Corvette and they go real fast and they're small and it's like the mini Lamborghini that I had and really that was very fast you can make you go faster with not much trouble because the small ones are easy to make but the engines are possibly a problem and they don't have teeny cars that have big engines and some of them I was like 200 horsepower and if you can get squeezed 230 out of them he says that's actually enough because at that size they're a lot lighter and we're going to try it

Trump

We need to make things that are easy to make fast to make and don't take much work and this is kind of one of them and not this particular car but the idea of the very small compact sedan and many Lamborghinis and mini Ferrari it's a great idea even a mini Corvette but he says Corvettes are a pain in the ass and we agree but the mini Lamborghini was not so bad back in the days nobody was bothering us and it's fast and it looks like the real thing I tell you what they handle like hell like really well and you can outmaneuver anything and it's been saying it for a while and we're just not doing anything

Bja

This is such a great idea I think I'm going to do it instead of the full size ones because it attracts so much attention put a regular motor in and he says even at six cylinder and that's what the 200 horsepower are and it's going to go very fast and we agree

Paul they're saying 300 no they say 380 but usually it's like above that that's extremely fast for anyone and they'll handle it really like well

We're going to print now

Olympus

I've always discussed this and they won't do it in the mini version Lamborghini doesn't really care about cuz they don't go as fast and they actually do but they can make a ton of these small ones they're easy to make and when you ship it Michelle is the shell is the size of the car and the car shell is what your shipping or not shipping the actual car and it's about 9 ft long and you can ship it in an open truck and put them sideways it's kind of a wider load than normal and I think you need special permits but you could put probably 10 on the truck as opposed to like five and people like that and he says maybe 12 that's probably more accurate and it would hang over the back a little and you'd only be 6 in either side it might actually be legal

Thor Freya

We're pretty sure it's legal and I can probably get 14 on there and it's crazy but it's possible

Zig Zag

We need a proposal from someone and Trump is the guy who has the mini Lambo and we know about that and this mini Ferrari and other and it's what la Ferrari was supposed to be and it was it was his idea to change the fiero after he made the fiero on purpose so we're going to try these things

He says you make these all over it's cover and yeah we're probably start

Bja

You need to get this out of the way and start doing something this is so damn boring and upsetting

FIESTA ALBA

presentano il singolo e video BURKINA PHASE..

elettronica e arabeschi di chitarra..

e tra le trame musicali ammalianti, la voce di Thomas Sankara, il leader africano assassinato per aver lottato contro le logiche spietate del neo colonialismo

Guarda il video

Presentazione band

I Fiesta Alba sono 4 lottatori che condividono una passione: lottano una vita intera contro la banalità del male declinata secondo il conformismo musicale, lo strapotere dei signori della discografia, il declino del rock, la dittatura dell’heavy rotation. Abbattono le frontiere tra il nord e il sud del pianeta, tra la musica colta e quella del popolo, tra l'acustico l'elettrico e l'elettronica. Salgono sul ring delle piattaforme digitali rivelando le loro vere maschere, e alzando il pugno gridano "Lucha libre!" Gli incontri sono truccati, gli avversari insostenibili, sanno di essere perdenti in una moltitudine immensa, in un pianeta in cui nessuno vince davvero, con una sola, quieta certezza nel cuore: non può perdere chi non ha nulla da perdere.

Fiesta Alba viene alla luce con un primo lavoro omonimo costituito da 5 brani eterogenei nella forma ma omogenei nella sostanza. Ispirato dal math rock di matrice anglosassone e spogliato di inutili virtuosismi il lavoro subisce le influenze dell’afrobeat minimalista, dell’elettronica ispirata agli anni ‘90, del post-punk chitarristico, del dub e del rap per arrivare a una formula contemporanea e originale. I 5 brani possiedono un respiro internazionale che dall’Europa arriva in Africa attraverso i ghetti di New York. Gli intarsi chitarristici sono supportati dal groove ritmico e digitale, disegnando geometrie colorate e traiettorie geografiche negli emisferi musicali di questo scorcio di millennio.

Riferimenti musicali:

Talking Heads - King Crimson - Fela Kuti - Steve Reich - Battles - Tera Melos

Da questo primo lavoro viene tratto il secondo video della band:

Burkina phase

Un’elettronica minimalista abbraccia arabeschi di chitarre. Steve Reich sonnecchia all’ombra di un baobab, mentre la voce di un fiero leader di un mondo scomparso grida inconfessabili verità ai mostri del nostro millennio.

Il videomaker Guido Ballatori interpreta il brano in una cifra stilistica che richiama da vicino la Videoarte. Attraverso l’utilizzo della grafica digitale si manifestano i concetti di contaminazione e colonizzazione, elementi naturali e artificiali si interfacciano senza alcuna soluzione logica.

Tra l’arcaico e il contemporaneo viene evocato Thomas Sankara, il leader africano assassinato, che diventa icona nella sua trasfigurazione elettronica, mentre denuncia l’occidente e le sue relazioni aggressive.

F9 Review: Boldly Going Where No Fast and Furious Has Gone Before

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The Fast and the Furious movies really are the strangest phenomenon in blockbusters. Once borne out of the humblest of origins—the first film is about stealing DVD players!—the series has mutated time and again into a pseudo-heist franchise, a pseudo-spy franchise, and now with F9 a pseudo-cartoon franchise.

To be clear, I do not mean this as a criticism or compliment. It’s merely an observation that the espionage thrills in Vin Diesel’s latest joy ride resemble less a 007 flick than what a child might imagine a 007 flick to be before they’ve seen one. If you asked the wee version of myself, who was raised on reruns of G.I. Joe and James Bond Jr., what Bond movies were like, I might say they’re where the bad guy has a giant magnet that catches his Mustang in the air after driving off a cliff, and the good guy then swings his car from a rope like it’s Tarzan.

And you know what? All of that is fine. In the hands of director Justin Lin—who returns for the first time since Fast & Furious 6 to the franchise he saved from direct-to-video doom—it’s even better than fine. It’s the exact kind of lunacy you want from a movie with “9” in the title. This really might be the most asinine movie yet in the series in terms of character motivations and set pieces, but it commits to its madness with such earnest conviction that, like a kid watching their Saturday morning stories, fans will be enraptured by the way Diesel mumbles “family”—plus there’s that Spider-Man car.

The airbrushed theme of family is heightened to soap operatic degrees this time, as well, since the big heavy of F9 turns out to be Jakob (John Cena), the little brother you don’t know Dom Toretto had. The story begins with a flashback to 1989, dramatizing the day Dom’s father died. It turns out Papa was a Formula 1 driver, and young Dom and Jakob were his grease monkeys. But maybe Dad shouldn’t have kept it in the family because he soon dies in a fiery crash, and Dom and Jakob will quickly lose each other in the fallout.

Cut to 2021, and Dom is living his best life in retirement with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and his infant son. However, the Family with a capital F soon shows up, revealing their arch-nemesis Cypher (Charlize Theron) has returned. As the woman who murdered the mother of Dom’s child, the paterfamilia is also not ready to invite her to the cookout. Yet things get worse once Dom learns she’s partnered with a high-performance rogue spy named… Jakob Toretto. It’s time for another “one last ride,” and this one will see the family destroy major streets and sidewalks in London, Edinburgh, and Tokyo, plus be rocked by the shocking twist that Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang) is back from the dead. Oh, and did I mention the Pontiac Fiero they’re trying to launch into space?

As the ninth movie in a franchise which has seen Diesel drive convertibles between skyscrapers, the late Paul Walker pilot a car out of a moving plane, and Dwayne Johnson once single-handedly catch and redirect a torpedo, F9 still somehow boldly goes where no Fast and Furious movie has gone before. It even leaves one wondering if those weird Fast and Furious and Jurassic World crossover rumors are true, because there are now few absurdities left for these goofy movies to exploit.

Luckily, unlike the bland The Fate of the Furious (F8) or the deadly dull Hobbs & Shaw spinoff, F9 feels like a revival. For the first time since Walker’s Brian “left,” the series is doing more than spinning its wheels. F9 is just as dumb as you think it is, but Lin is able to resurrect the series’ perverse sense of sincerity.

At nearly two and a half hours, F9 is the longest film in the series, but the thing handles surprisingly smoothly. This is partially because with a franchise this convoluted, Lin can rely liberally on the nostalgia of seeing old faces pop up again—they even shoehorn Gal Gadot’s deceased Gisele via flashback. But it’s also due to Lin, more than any other director who’s worked on these movies, balancing the tonal whiplash between melodrama and cartoon histrionics. Somehow his approach finds the precise formula for devoting equal horsepower to Dom and Jakob’ soapy showdowns and the wackiness that comes with shooting a Pontiac into orbit.

It’s a strange alchemy between the stupid and sweet that goes a long way in stringing the set pieces together. Also, since many of those action scenes unmistakably (and regrettably) occur inside computers, the addition of Cena as Diesel’s new foil is a boon for the series. With Dwayne Johnson unlikely to ever return as Luke Hobbs in the mainline movies, the franchise is in desperate neefor an injection of charisma from anywhere—seriously, it’s eerie to see young Dom played with a pulse by Vinnie Bennett—and Cena is more than capable of providing a pick-me-up. Theron is also still on hand to steal the movie during her handful of scenes, including by throwing the shadiest insult I’ve heard in years.

At the end of the day, F9 probably doesn’t need to exist. It’s ridiculous, silly, and often nonsensical. Yet in an era where all Hollywood franchises are endless, and many of them rely on sitcom levels of self-deprecation to justify their returns, the wide-eyed earnestness that F9 brings back, and the willingness to commit to fervent paeans about “family” and “honor,” makes for an irresistible charm offensive. You want to go to their barbecue, and hell, see them probably time travel back to the Old West or the Cretaceous period in the next film. Bring on “Back to the Furious.”

F9 opens only in theaters on Friday, June 25.

This car is a McLaren 570 GT has top speed of 280 mph. In the top you can see an actual fire and it's not good this would be a four seater it would be a kit car. The rear window we would change and it would not open like this. We would make it open to the whole thing but the top would be less window. You have to see out the back so there's like a view window and there's a special louver and there's no window below the louver and it's to prevent it from getting broken and the window on there is going to be special and we will redesign it of course I have some features and make a little little cooler. But this looks very nice even though the front engine mostly at first we would have the rear engine features and it would look like an awesome car from behind and the front and we will have a fairing it will look similar. But it won't continue to wrap around it and we don't like that look or style. And it won't be an exact copy even though this is our son and daughter is rightful company and we're going to start going after things like that. They're going to spearhead it for real and people want them to.

We are also going to redesign the way that this is built we don't like how they build these we're not going to build the same way at all and we're not copying this car it's this size and the front end is similar to what we need to make it to be and the rear end looks cool and we'll have to show you what we're thinking about is regards to this particular vehicle and we don't think making it rounded in the back because it's smaller is a good idea this is not a baby puppy car it's going to be a special car and we want to start it that way because he feels that these days people will buy it even though it looks like a supercar that's probably true and they can get a Nissan anywhere and yeah that's a pain in the ass and he's right you want to turn your four door compact car into this and we won't be a McLaren but it's kind of close it is their car. And we'd like them to come after us and here's the secret formula to actually get us to work with our people they know about it and they talked about it today and last week and are helping us and of course he believes it until she wasn't thinking of doing this with boys he thought about a little bit but we kept telling them we can do it they were saying we probably should it's a Bible system and they go after each other and these days people are using Force to stop each other so that's what we're going to do I'm going to stop them not each other with Force and this is a great idea this particular car and his son the same the Dodge neon and he meant to light it up too but really this is the greatest idea I've ever seen and he says it's not that great it's just to try and fit the front engine in and to try and have a cool looking car and one that everybody can afford and it's true too there's a bunch of factors they can't have a really large supercar and I can't have like a huge name like Vader where your son does it and Hera is that you take the corner in as a sort of changing a little and they did that with Ferrari and Ferrari still has some of the original people skulking around in the shadows some Max and some Italians even us and father would do it yeah he came up with a design it was for a kit car but it was not the fiero is there a different chassis and it looked like a Ferrari and it sounded like one it was very fast and he called it Last Ferrari and it'll spell the little different and they said that's not good enough so they went after it and we know about it and we know what they do and what they use and how much for us and it is a bit much okay this is going to be hot but he says he wants a chicken in every pot of every person that buys one of these of ours and he has several names that sound like McLaren and that particular name is fictitious it's one of our sons fake names and his name will come out and that that's who he is and she does have fake names too and his name is also wolvesbain and we do accept that it's true. So he wants to do this weird corporation thing he always wants to do it and then like only specialize in one thing maybe we might do it that way there's a few names that she wants to name it so we're going to hear what those are.

"O'Shaughnessy" and it says it's a crane company with an o and she says oh yeah it might be a bit like shaughnessy but okay and she's laughing

"O'Leary" and that's a real name and she says the name you want to use this real and he says no way and it really is that's why she's saying it so we're going to check it out but this would be made out of the plastic carbon fiber it's really easy to make it molds in seconds and comes out he wonders if you can put a color code in the color coat and you'd have to mix the color into the plastic so you take the gel down and need repair the damage and you fill it in with the color-coded plastic mix and sand it lightly until it and it will come out easier so we want to try and do that too but it would also have an integral frame it'll be a drop on and simpler to build then the Vader because the frame would be already attached to the body and the smaller this car is about 12 ft long and 7 ft wide at least we're going to make it wider cuz it looks cooler and you can get a box almost 8 ft wide around it and 13 ft long with all the stuff in it and that makes it cheaper cuz you can stack them inside a container probably three high and four long or three long it is about three long and there's some boxes that go with it and you just drive around with a semi and you drop it off and we know how to do that it's a special semi but it's a normal size you can also drop shipping containers at the dealership and just pick them up when they're empty and you can have dealerships he says will you drop your car off and they put the kit on or they are you you come by and pick up the kid and we we want to do that and so we want partners on this just remember that McLaren is there a company and it was doing very well with Brad and he lost it to Trump and implemented so Brad might want to do this and we have a certain amount ownership and we get materials and stuff there without too much trouble everybody else is having a problem and you have it for your own clan at first that's fine. He's looking forward to defeating you on the muscle bound stage. Not so much fake wrestling we have enough of that he says. And he's smiling cuz he wants to do it. And it says you thought it was her and off and on you guys thinking and I'll tell you what even me and I have a lot of power and important but they really were focusing on it and they're doing that for the future and he laughed so that's not funny and your mama is not your mama just a FYI and I know your mom so she was my sister now he's laughing and saying but really she's your auntie so you're like a lower level guy and Ellie says watch your mouth buddy and it's true. So gross but here we go

Thor Freya

Olympus again

I want this car to succeed in this idea and you probably can't start it now but no we can start ourselves and have other people pick it up and I like the idea of drawing the mattis and it's probably going to be Trump and Brad can wait until the smoke clears cuz we need him to open the shops and he gets it it's going to be awesome he says and really he'll have some and he'll figure out these trumps will go after like maniacs and ruining cuz they're so aggressive we hate them they're so dumb you can see it in that movie fiorina fiorina fury in a whatever the hell you save

Hey, Ry? I hear you ask metaphorically, how come you gave Pyre the same original name as Aila’s sire?

I’m glad you asked, metaphorical questioner! The name was intentional, I only realised later that it was the same name as Aila’s sire, considered changing it, decided I liked it too much, and decided to make the same-name thing intentional. Here is my reasoning!

Elijah (/ɪˈlaɪdʒə/ ih-LY-jə; Hebrew: אֵלִיָּהוּ‎, Eliyahu, meaning "My God is Yahweh/YHWH") or Greek form Elias (/ɪˈlaɪəs/ ih-LY-əs)[a] was, according to the Books of Kings in the Hebrew Bible, a prophet and a miracle worker who lived in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of King Ahab (9th century BC). In 1 Kings 18, Elijah defended the worship of the Hebrew God over that of the Canaanite deity Baal.

Miracles - the 2100 formula, basically. The Baal thing can refer to being high-humanity, I guess, in contrast with the Baali? Alternatively, it’s just a, hey, consider listen to us instead of the Camarilla kinda thing. And a prophet is basically what Julian is making him into! (Does this make Julian God? Concerning. Accurate, given his, um, slight megalomania, but concerning.)

God also performed many miracles through Elijah, including resurrection (raising the dead), bringing fire down from the sky, and entering Heaven alive "by fire".

Raising the dead - vampires! Yes okay we are blatantly ignoring that vampirism is meant to be a divine curse. Fire associations - his name is Pyre, and I have a lot of fire-related imagery for him.

He is also portrayed as leading a school of prophets known as "the sons of the prophets".

Part of Julian's program is basically teaching.

Following his ascension, Elisha, his disciple and most devoted assistant, took over his role as leader of this school. The Book of Malachi prophesies Elijah's return "before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD", making him a harbinger of the Messiah

or Gehenna!

and of the eschaton in various faiths that revere the Hebrew Bible. References to Elijah appear in Ecclesiasticus, the New Testament, the Mishnah and Talmud, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and Baháʼí writings.

Doesn't matter who they are, Kindred, human, other occult. If Julian's plan works, everyone will know who he is.

Hell yeah meaningful names.
