I’m thinking calling Vulpes, Pricilla, Maria, and Lloyd’s people the Pando. After the giant organism of Aspen trees.

The tribe lives mostly around the main Lake of Fishlake National Park but they have their origins from the single organism forest in that area.

NOTE

These elements are all found in many different spellings. Old English beorg ‘hill, mound’, for example, turns up as bar-, berg-, -ber, -berry, -borough, and -burgh. Only one form is given above (Thornborough).

Several items have the same form, but differ in meaning because they come from different words in Old English. For example, -ey has developed in different ways from the two words ea ‘river’ and eg ‘island’. It is not always easy deciding which is the relevant meaning in a given place name.

This resource does not distinguish between forms which appear in different parts of a place name. Old English leah ‘forest, glade’, for example, sometimes appears at the beginning of a name (Lee- or Leigh-), sometimes at the end (-leigh, -ley), and sometimes alone (Leigh) (K. Cameron, 1961).

(Questions from @mr-laveau - LaVeau-gue)

What’s your listener’s name and nickname?

Name: Parker Woods Nickname: Freelancer/Deviant/Voyeur/Silly

What’s their backstory?

Their family work as rangers at FishLake National Forest, Utah. Living in Fillmore, for quick entry to the forest. They grew up learning the way of the land and each part of it; they can navigate the area if they got lost. Once their powers manifested their parents were very shocked, they didn’t understand what was going on with their child so they kept away from them. (Note: their powers did appear at the age of 14 - 15 but they were very weak then. Once reaching later teens to early 20s, they started to become more unstable and they fully got out of control at 25 - 26).

Freelancer decided to go out into the forest when their powers were out of control. One night, it became too unbearable that they began to have a panic attack and that is when Caelum first appeared to them.

Caelum told them about D.A.M.N. Uni to which they decided to go there. They told their parents they are leaving. From that point we are at Freelancer Season One.

What are your listener’s most important relationships and who are they connected to?

Caelum - He is like a little brother to them and they’ve grown to have a very strong friendship. Even when Freelancer gets weird looks from others when talking to him in public, they shrug it off and only care about him in those moments.

Gavin - He has also been a very strong relationship for Parker, probably one of the best people they’ve had a romantic relationship with. They care a lot for each other and even when Caelum is around they are like two parents caring for their child.

Damien, Huxley, Lasko + Coworker - It did take them a while for their friendship with these lot to get to the full ‘trust’ level, but once spending more time they have grown to care for them and Lasko also having family unempowered, he has also become a sibling figure for Parker.

Fredrick - their Uncle. He was a big role model when growing up and is the only one they stay in contact with as he is fine with their powers.

What’s your listener’s hobbies/interests?

What kind of lover are they to their partner/what kind of friend are they?

Lover - Passionate but does let boundaries be known now after the incident with Kody. Very much protective as well and will do anything for their partner, whenever they need anything they’ll be there.

Friend - Cares sometimes a bit too much and thinks their problems are lesser than their friends. They are protective but also become care free around their friends, feeling very relaxed around them to the same point as family, once getting to the full trust level.

What is something/are somethings that your listener values?

Trust, family/friends, support, boundaries.

Pick a song that you think represents your listener.

Inertia - AJR

What’s the inspiration behind your listener’s design?

Freelancer is inspired by my love of the woods, some aspects of myself and other info that was dotted through out the series.

Could you give me a vague concept of what your listener’s visual vibe is?

What are some extra tidbits you wanna tell me about your listener?

Their sass is very much like Captain Holt’s (Brooklyn Nine-Nine). Favourite musical is Ride the Cyclone, they find “Space Age Bachelor Man” hilarious but slightly reminds them of Gavin.

I’ve been fleshing out Vulpes’s tribe more and here’s a better version of his people’s tribal markings. Rather than tattoos or piercings his people do brands and scarification.

The tattoos are gendered and depending on how old your are you get a different brand.

For Vulpes he only had the wrist brand but when he was assimilated into the Legion he got the others in defiance. He was punished for it but since you can’t remove brands he instead has to cover them.

The world's largest tree has been rigorously dated for the first time, confirming it is at least 16,000 years old.

Named Pando, the tree is a quaking aspen (Populus tremulodes) with around 41,000 stems connected by a root system that sprawls about 43 hectares in Utah's Fishlake National Forest. It has long been thought to be among the most ancient living things on Earth, but scientists didn't know for certain how old it is.

Al asombroso árbol "Pando"-Una maravilla de la naturaleza

En el corazón del bosque Fishlake National Forest, en el estado de Utah, Estados Unidos, se encuentra una maravilla natural única: el árbol Pando. Este coloso arbóreo no se destaca por su altura imponente ni por su frondosidad, sino por su asombrosa habilidad para replicarse y formar un extenso bosque clonal. Conocido como el "Trembling Giant" (gigante tembloroso), el árbol Pando es, de hecho, un organismo singular que despierta el interés y la admiración de científicos y amantes de la naturaleza por igual.

El árbol Pando pertenece a la especie de álamo temblón (Populus tremuloides), y lo que lo hace verdaderamente extraordinario es su modo de reproducción. A diferencia de otros árboles, el Pando se propaga principalmente a través de brotes subterráneos llamados rizomas. Estos rizomas emergen del tronco principal y se extienden bajo tierra, dando lugar a nuevos árboles genéticamente idénticos al árbol original.

El resultado es un bosque clonal compuesto por miles de álamos temblones que comparten el mismo material genético. Aunque individualmente estos árboles puedan parecer distintos, todos son genéticamente idénticos, lo que convierte al Pando en uno de los organismos más grandes y antiguos del mundo. Se estima que el bosque clonal de Pando tiene más de 80,000 años, lo que lo convierte en uno de los organismos más antiguos del planeta.

A pesar de su longevidad y resistencia, el árbol Pando enfrenta desafíos significativos. La actividad humana, la alteración del hábitat y el cambio climático amenazan la salud y la viabilidad de este bosque clonal. La conciencia y la conservación son fundamentales para preservar esta maravilla natural única.

La importancia del árbol Pando va más allá de su singularidad biológica. Este gigante tembloroso nos enseña sobre la interconexión de los seres vivos y la capacidad de la naturaleza para adaptarse y persistir a lo largo del tiempo. Su historia evolutiva es un testimonio de la resistencia de la vida en la Tierra y nos recuerda la necesidad imperante de proteger y preservar nuestro medio ambiente.

Visitar el bosque Fishlake National Forest y contemplar el árbol Pando es una experiencia única. Observar la vastedad de este bosque clonal y reflexionar sobre su historia evolutiva invita a la admiración y la reflexión sobre la fragilidad de la naturaleza y la responsabilidad que tenemos como guardianes de nuestro planeta.

En resumen, el árbol Pando no es simplemente un grupo de álamos temblones en un bosque remoto; es una lección viva sobre la resistencia, la interconexión de la vida y la importancia de conservar nuestras maravillas naturales. Cuidar del árbol Pando es cuidar de un tesoro biológico que ha resistido el paso del tiempo y que, con la atención adecuada, puede seguir siendo una fuente de inspiración y admiración para las generaciones futuras.

My Forest Casa Amongst the Aspens of Utah by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking up and to the south while taking in views of spring time in this aspen grove in the Fishlake National Forest. My thoughts on composing this image was to have a color contrast with the greens and yellows of the aspen leaves with that of the blue skies and clouds above. I liked the view of looking up as it gave a sense of perspective with height in the trees all around. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Fishlake National Forest, Utah

Meet Pando, not a forest but a single tree. Every trunk of the Quaking Aspen is genetically identical & connected by a single 80,000 year old root system, making it one of the largest and oldest living entities on Earth!
