Character Descriptions: Farseer Trilogy

FitzChivalry Farseer: He is tall for a Buck man (Chivalry’s height) and his fine curly hair is not as coarse as most of them. Fitz has the jaw, the folds of his eyelids and the curve of his lower lip equal to Shrewd’s and Regal’s. He is only a bit wider and muscled than Regal and neither of them are close to Verity’s body features. Fitz has a dark tan, black hair, noticeable cheeckbones and gets a wiry curled unruly beard in AQ that is then trimmed by Starling and shaved at one point. Fitz cuts his hair for mourning throughout the series and likes to tie it in a warrior’s tail when the hair is long enough. He gets a scar on his left shoulder after fighting the Forged in AA and a scar under his eye and down his right cheek along with a broken nose and a white streak of hair above his brow that reminds him of wolverine’s markings after the events in RA. Fitz gets the Fool’s fingerprints in his left wrist in the events of AQ.

Fitz is 6 years old at the start of AA and 15 by the end of it. In chapter of AA Fitz gets the following clothes: 2 outfits in the ordinary brown most children wear and 1 thin blue cloth that on the breast has a buck’s head done in silver thread with a red stitching that cut diagonally marching right over the design (This symbol for Fitz is later changed by Verity for a buck’s head ready to charge. Men at arms and Burrich wear a leaping buck, Verity and Regal a buck’s head.). Shrewd’s pin: red stone in a nest of silver. Lady Grace gives Fitz a tiny pin in the shape of a fish’s bones in RA.

Fitz wears a brown blouse and green trousers that everyone thinks is an awful combination as his first outfit after he arrives in Buckeep in RA.

In AQ Fitz wears the following clothes to go see Kettricken: White loose-sleeved shirt of soft warm wool, dark leggins and a short dark surcot the color of the leggins. In the Mountains quest he wears a coat that closes on the throat, a shirt and sacklike boots (no mention of pants so make of that what you will).

Shrewd Farseer: Brown eyes, beard and hair freshly groomed, clothing immaculate, folds of silk at his troat, has a scar on his left temple covered by grey hair.

Verity Farseer: A stocky man with a widely muscled built. He has black eyes and a bushy disarray of dark hair and beard. He has heavy brows, a barrel of a chest, shoulders that strained the fabric of his shirts and fists square and work-scarred. When Fitz meets him in AA he is wearing a jerkin closed with an intricate buckle shaped like a buck’s head. Verity dresses as his men dress - in pratical woolens, sturdy weave and subdued colors. Crest with gold and silver thread on his breast. In AQ Verity is old and thin, has a lot of grey in his coarse black hair and beard, ragged garments grey with stone dust, a smear of grey in one cheek, knees scabbed and bloody showing through his trousers, feet wrapped in rags and hands and forearms covered in silver.

Verity’s Dragon: Dragon with black eyes and turquoise scales with silver.

Regal Farseer: Dark hair curlier than Fitz’s and finer features, his jaw, folds of his eyelids and the curve of his lower lip is the same as Shrewd’s. He is only a bit less wide and muscled than Fitz (neither of them close to Verity’s body) and has a different skin tone than Fitz’s. Regal often wears silver on his throat and hands.

When Fitz first sees him in AA he is like Verity around the jaw and eyes, his cheeks are beardless and he has scented and smoothed brown hair. He is dressed in scarlets and primrose with a cloak drooped with twice the width of cloth needed to cover a man. The doublet beneath it is a rich cream, laden with lace and he wears a scarf secured with a leaping stag done in gold, with a green gem for an eye. Regal in RA has black hair and in the horse riding scene he is wearing glossy black boots and gloves and is dressed in scarlet and gold with a riding cloak flung back from one shoulder.

Burrich: Angular and narrow tanned face, brown eyes, black unruly hair and beard, long-fingered hands and bad right leg. Burrich dresses in a fine thin cloth of brown and yellow with a bit of silver chain across his jerkin to go see the king in AA. Women say he has a small scar shaped like a crescent moon high on his hip. Burrich has a stripe of white hair where the Chyurda guard hit him in AA.

Molly Chandler: Short, rich brown eyes (Fitz says they shift to dark amber according to her mood because he never heard of the effects that light has over colors. But nice use of Amber there, Fitz :3) and has dark hair with a bit of red. As a child she had bruises on her face and thin arms in shades of purple, blue and yellow. Her hair used to be in sensible braids behind her ears and she dressed in a jerkin and loose trousers. When Fitz sees her again at15/16 years old her hair falls free past her shoulders and she is dressed in a blouse and a woolen red skirt. She has a read shawl and a red cloak. (2 years older than Fitz)

In RA her hair is in two thick braids and pinned about her head like a crown, her dress is of a simple blue and has a collar of delicate white lace and lace cuffs (work).

Fool: Bird-boned, lean cheeks, high forehead, long straight narrow nose, narrow lips, firm chin, long and thin fingers and bony wrists. In the first 2 books he has very pale blue eyes, white skin with a pale pinkness to it and pale dandellion fluff hair. He has small white separate teeth like a baby in the first book. In AQ at first his skin is the colour of old ivory and his hair is the colour of fresh ground flour. He has a tint of yellow to his eyes and his body is lean, slight and muscled as tumblers are. By the end of AQ his skin is a pale gold, there is a tawny edge to his hair and his eyes are a pale topaz (wth). The Fool has 3 silvered fingertips in his left or right hand (Fitz doesn’t know left from right because it changes), according to the events in AQ.

As the king’s jester he wears a motley of black and whites in Winter and a blue and red silk motley jacket and trousers in the Summer. In RA he wears a new motley of black and white with sleeves embroidered with black vines crawling up his arms like ivy, a black collar and silver bells for Winterfest. The Fool changes his rat sceptre, Ratsy. One time it’s a rat set atop the wand as if prancing and another is only a rat’s head.

In the Moutain Kingdom in AQ when Fitz first sees him he is wearing a soft robe of white wool with a round collar, his hair is smoothed back sleek on his skull and confined to a single plait. To go see Kettricken he wears a woolen dark blue robe with embroidery at the sleeves and hem. In the Moutains quest he wears a fur-rimmed hood coat and a gay (nice one Hobb) woolen hat with a tassel on the end of it that bobs as he walks.

(Fool’s mom had long dark curly hair and green eyes, his fathers were 2 cousins: one broad and swarthy, ruddy-liped with brown eyes and bronze skin and the other narrow with golden skin and blue eyes. He had an older sister with blonde hair.)

Chade Fallstar: Dirty white hair and beard, green eyes, has tiny pox scars of angry pinks and reds like small burns on his face and bony white hands with tendons showing. Red scars in the back of his left hand. The brow, the way his ears are set and the line of his lower lip are the same as Shrewd’s. Chade dresses in a robe the color of undied sheep wool. In AQ his white hair is in a warrior tail and he has a short grey beard. Chade uses a band of leather across his brow and centered on his forehead is a medalion with a silver buck with antlers lowered to charge. To see Kettricken he wears a white shirt and dark leggings with a long woold vest gaily embroidered.

Kettricken: Tall, has blue eyes, a straight nose, a solemn mouth, muscular arms and an immense mass of long yellow hair. Kettricken cuts her hair short in mourning in RA and it doesn’t reach her shoulders. In AQ she is thin and has the bones and planes of her face showing, her hair is too short to be confined well. In the moutains quest she has a short scruffy braid.

When Fitz first sees her she has some of her hair braided and coiled about her head and some flowing loose down her back. She usually has braids on her hair even if the hairstyle changes. Her riding clothes consist of loose trousers in crocus purple adorned with intricate embroideries in rich colours and tucked into her boot-tops. Her boots are almost to her knees. She wears a short jacket of voluminous white fur with a high collar, black gloves and a knitted cap of every bright color. Later in RA when she is wearing simpler clothes Kettricken has a soft grey tunic and leggings and a simple single necklace of green and blue stone beds. Usually she wears a simple style in purple with white. Sometimes she wears light blue.

Patience: Dark, short, slender, hazel eyes, straight mouth and dark curly hair that she tries to restrain but ringlets of it escape at her forehead and neck.

Lacey: Plump, round face with dimples and birdlike bright eyes.

Starling (AQ): Handsome, has dark hair and eyes and is no taller than Fitz’s shoulder. She had the two smaller fingers of her left hand broken during the events of AQ. While traveling she wears blue leggins and a tunic, no earrings and rings. When Fitz meets her again on the tavern she is dressed with a black thick woolen cloak trimmed with yellow embroidery, a belted tunic, laced boots and has small silver rings in her ears. The hair is fastened with a couple of small combs. In the mountains she binds her wet hair into smooth braids coiled to her head and pinned down.

Kettle (AQ): Sharp black eyes, black hair with some white and obviously from Buck. When Fitz first sees her she is swathed all in black, well bundled in a cloak, hood and shawl, with traveling blanket on her knees. She has an headscarf from Chalced and the embroidery on her black cloak is also black.

Celerity: Dark blue eyes, hair dark and sleek cut short, high cheeckbones. (14 years old in RA, 2 years younger than Fitz)

Faith: Celerity’s older sister. She has dark blue eyes and sleek black hair too.

Duke Brawndy: Grey hair and beard.

Galen (AA): Skinny cheeks, pale eyes and has a hawk’s nose. So skinny that bones show through his skin. He is about Burrich’s age, dresses well and wears a chain with 3 gems given by Queen Desire. Clothes in the first Skill lesson: Fur at his collar and neck, amber beading so thick on his vest it would have turned a sword, clothing tailored snugly, high boots fitted to his calves, carries a little quirt and wears a shirt as tight as cat skin.

Serene: Long midnight hair, thin face and has hands like claws. When Fitz first sees her for the first time in RA she is wearing a midnight blue robe richly embroidered, silver on her neck and fingers and hair bound back intricately with burnished wire strung with ivory ornaments.

Justin: Tall, gangly and dressed in a dark blue robe. (2 years older than Fitz)

Will: Dark and slender with half lidded dark eyes. One eye sunken deep in its socked, clowdy in the dephts after RA events. Wears well tailored clothes in dark blue, a single chain of silver, a silver ring and silver earrings in AQ.

Carrod: Sort of a dandy with the ladies, wears ribbons and charms on his clothes and has dark skin.

Rosemary (RA): Dark curly head, dimpled smile.

Verde: Handsome, blonde, very tall and fair. Wears a badge of the Mountwell with a Farrow’s golden oak and a Farseer buck overleaping it in AQ.

August Farseer (AA): 2 years Fitz’s junior, dark as the Farseers are, broad built like Verity.

Tassin (AQ): Blue eyes and no more tha 16 years old.

Cob (AA): Short and dark. (10 years old when Fitz meets him in AA)

Nighteyes: A grey wolf. Green eyes when a cub and dark eyes as an adult, dark muzzle, buff at the base of his ears and throat, coat peppered with stiff black guard-hairs, especially on his shoulders and the flat of his rump, and huge feet.

Hilda (AQ): Brown bear with little eyes deep set above her muzzle.

Sleet (AQ): Small hawk.

Jeppas (AQ): wide flat feet spread in the snow as much as the wolf’s did.

Girl on a Dragon (AQ): Emerald green dragon with a woman on top (Salt) with frozen tears in her cheeks and dressed in a sleevless jerkin, leggings and sandals. (Salt reminds the Fool of his older sister).

Realder’s Dragon (AQ): Knobs of bone at the apex of its wings (similar to those on a gander), barbed tail.

#rote #Realm of the Elderlings #farseer trilogy #character descriptions #this took so long but is finally done #I probably missed some things like descriptions of the dragons and descriptions of clothes #I will do a better job on the next books hopefully #for now I hope this helps and I want to see more fanart of every character please

Since I’m an easily confused bitch, I decided to keep track of the cats mentioned in Live A Hero by BeyondTheClouds777 on AO3 using a modified version of this base on dA. This was before chapter 12 clarified Rainbow was fully white, lmao, but since it has I’m still putting this one out. Every single cat here follows real cat genetics, and since BNHA takes place at least 150 years in the future, I figured some of the genes that are much rarer today might be more prevalent even in street cats! Red arrows are from kitten to adult color on the left; the ones on the right show what’s under the fully-white-masking gene. Green checks are the cat’s Izuku is keeping.

If you want the genetics involved as well as real life inspo, check under the cut!

Cats shown from left to right, top to bottom!

[Translation] Myojo 2018-11 Autumn Fashion (original scan: yoshiko-mama@LJ)

Understanding Their Fashion Situation | Autumn Styling BATTLE!!

Sakuma Ryuto’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 45% Black, 45% White, 10% Other. “I don’t have a lot brightly colored items. The most colorful one I have is a blue green top, but it’s dark toned.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Inoue Mizuki. “When it’s the two of us, we end up checking out a lot of places. We go to the stores Mizuki-kun wants to go.” [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Watanabe Shota. “I’ve only received something from Shota-kun. I still remember it, it’s a t-shirt with an image of sunglasses hanging off of it.” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] Matching colors. “Rather than have matching items, I think having matching colors is better. If hat’s the case, matching from head to toe is OK too!”

Hashimoto Ryo’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 60% Black, 30% White, 10% Other. “I have one pale pink top.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Matsuo Tatsuru, Kanno Taiki. “These two invite me to come along. If it were just me, I have no desire to go shopping.” [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Shimekake Ryuya. “I have a lot of them, but Shime-chan recently gave me a black tote bag. I told him I wanted it, and he gave me it to me right there♪ I’m using it today, too!” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] Parka. “But, there aren’t any that aren’t just a plain black or white, huh.”

Inoue Mizuki’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 60% Black, 30% White, 10% Other. “The ‘Other’ is grey (lol). The brightest thing I own is one (1) yellow piece.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Iwasaki Taisho. “We both work fast.

I’m so grateful, I have received a lot from many others.” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] Wristwatches. “I think it’s too much to go out and be in an Obvious Couples Outfit so I’d rather go with the casual accessory (lol).”

Takahashi Yuto’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 30% Black, 50% White, 10% Other. “100% Patterned (lol). I don’t own a single solid item. When I wear something plain or solid, it’s borrowed from my little brother.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Suetake Yukihiro. “I’ve been going shopping on my own recently, but I do go with Suetake a lot. The shop I’ve been frequenting lately is the shop Suetake took me to before. [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Yasui Kentaro, Jesse. “It wasn’t recent, but Ken-chan has gifted me things, but I remember the bracelet the most.

Jesse-kun gave me a t-shirt when we did the Shonentachi stage show together.” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] With accessories. “How about a ring?

(Iwahashi) Genki-kun, Shimekake (Ryuya)-kun, Jesse-kun… I can’t list them all, there are so many generous senpai!” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] T-shirt. “But, only when wearing an outwear piece. Looks best if the matching t-shirt just peeks out.”

M I Z U K I > In a photoshoot for MYOJO last year, there were these glen plaid underpants, and I saw them again at another location afterwards. I thought they were fated so I decided to buy them from the stylist (lol). Last year, I was really into wearing shorts and vests for a school uniform-ish look. This autumn, I want to try challenge myself with coordinating with monotone tops. > I’m the type of person who immediately decides to buy something the moment I see it—with the price being the only thing potentially holding me back. The other day, I was strolling through Takeshita Street in Harajuku with Sakuma and Hashimocchan. I bought a Coach jacket from a store we passed by. It’s black, and I like the design with the word “STREET” written in white all over the sleeve. It was cheap so the decision was easy! Now if I can find aa white chesterfield coat I’ve been looking for since last year, then it’ll be perfect.

S O Y A > It’s part of my routine to pick out the outfit I’ll wear that day the moment I wake up. But, since I’m indecisive af, I’d have second thoughts while I”m eating breakfast and change my outfit completely. I’d leave the house, change my mind again, and turn back around. Because of all the changes, my parents ask tell me to decide the moment I wake up, but they don’t get it. Picking out my outfits is fun, even the indecisive part♪ > Last autumn, I bought a knit sweater that looked similar to a happi. Since it wasn’t an item available in Japan, I ordered it based on the model’s pictures they had online, but when it came, it was way too big on me (lol). It looked so good online… When I got it last year, autumn was over, and it was too thin of an item to wear in the winter. I had to wear a knitted turtleneck underneath. I’ll wear it at the start of autumn this year—the lead role this time!

R Y U T O > I love wearing t-shirts with funny illustrations like the one I’m wearing today. Even in my personal wardrobe, I have many similar shirts. My favorite is an illustration of a tonkatsu set meal. It’s so cute, the tonkatsu was drawn with a face. It was love at first sight the moment I saw it! Unfortunately, I currently don’t have the courage to wear that t-shirt when I’m out. But, after today, I might be able to do it if I pair it with a long coat like this (lol). > I have a problem with styling myself the same way! Or rather, it’s frustrating that I can only style myself one way… black skinny jeans with a t-shirt… is my go-to. I also came here today like that. I have four pairs of black skinny jeans. Not to mention, they’re all the same brand and style. I’ve also gotten interested in ripped jeans… but when I start thinking the level of ripped looks good, I have no clue (lol).

Y U T O > For a show project, I saw Sakurai (Sho)-kun wear this super flashy outfit and i wanted to try and replicate that outfit! For me, I think it’s a pretty good replication. I’m wearing it, but that necklace is super heavy! And of course the fanny pack. It’s looks shiny, but it’s actually a clear material and you can see inside it. It looks to be in style, but I have no idea what to put in it. And most importantly, the hat. First time I wore a taller one, I kept hitting everything (lol). The white top I’m wearing underneath is close to my personal style … is what I would like to say, but I I have no confidence in wearing solids. I like patterns so I would buy the leopard print shirt (lol). > Lately, I’ve been understanding fashion less and less. I feel like I should be able to wear whatever. To be honest, I want to wear the sweats I wear during lessons out in the streets~ Is that bad!?

R Y O > I’m awful at the layered look. On cold days, I can’t stand just the layers; only warm days, I can’t take it off right away… so that’s why, I only wear a jacket. It’s not something I would pick out myself, but I like this look so I wanted to try it. My wardrobe is all black and white so this navy is a fresh look♪ > Most of my shopping has been done online as of late. It’s not that I don’t have time to go shopping, it’s just simply easier. But, I had a big fail when I bought these harem pants that looked really cool on the Internet… They were just different from what I had in mind. In the end, I haven’t worn them once… But, I really like the sweats I bought recently! It’s a set with a top and bottom in light blue that stands out from everyone else♪ I wear them lots during stage show lessons.

Considering how difficult bristles can be to manage, whether your own tough-to-tame duster or your horses’ braid-resistant locks, its anatomy is absolutely absolutely simple. Bristles grows from follicles in the skin, and anniversary fiber has a centermost (the medulla), a average band (the cortex), and an alien band (the cuticle). Horses accept three altered kinds of hair: abiding bristles of the forelock, mane, tail, eyelashes, and “feathers” (what’s apparent in Clydes and some of our added abstract horse friends); acting bristles accoutrement best of the anatomy that the horse sheds intermittently/seasonally; and concrete bristles on the cage and in the ears.Other than to absorb owners’ time brushing, trimming, shaving, and pulling, horses’ bristles absolutely serves a cardinal of important functions, including:Horses’ bodies aftermath bristles in audible stages. Bristles actively growing—when new hairs formed in the follicles displace “old” or “club” hairs—is in its anagen phase. Hair’s comatose actualization is termed telogen, and bristles in alteration from anagen to telogen is in the catagen phase. For some horses, aberrant bristles coats are in their genes. Assertive breeds are characterized by the length, color, and arrangement of their hair.

Cathy McGowan, BVSc, MACVSc, PhD, DEIM, Dip. ECEIM, FHEA, MRCVS, arch of Equine Internal Medicine in the University of Liverpool’s Department of Veterinary Analytic Sciences, in the United Kingdom, has advised bristles coats in abyss and says one of the best accepted causes for abortion to afford or inappropriate address is equine Cushing’s disease, additionally accepted as pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID).In a contempo abstraction of 325 Queensland, Australia, horses over the age of 15, she and her colleagues bent that about one-fifth of the animals had PPID diagnoses. “Of horses diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, hirsutism, authentic as delayed address and/or a continued bristles coat, was one of the best constant signs of the disease,” relays McGowan.

To bigger authorize absolutely why horses with equine Cushing’s ache accept coat-related issues, Petersen and colleagues calm bark and bristles corpuscle samples from eight horses with Cushing’s ache and four age-matched nondiseased controls. They analyzed those samples beneath a microscope and bent that Cushing’s horses’ follicles were about abandoned in the anagen actualization admitting accustomed horses’ follicles were primarily in the telogen phase. In addition, they begin that afterwards alleviative afflicted horses with pergolide for six months, address bigger and the cardinal of bristles follicles in the anagen and telogen phases was agnate to that of the ascendancy horses.The chain of bristles follicles in the anagen actualization appears to explain why Cushing’s horses about consistently accept continued and coiled bristles coats; however, the abstraction authors concluded, “Further assay is bare to annotate the mechanism(s) basal development of hypertrichosis in PPID-affected horses.”

I feel like an excellently way to get this started is to begin what will eventually be an embarassingly long admission of countless Thrifting Regret Stories. Regrets more often than not were simply me putting money before the value of the garment, and if the thing does fit, well shit, there's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is them fitting...cuz this happens...more often than you know...and simply put, some things you just do not let go. This item above I can honestly blame purely on my career length of thrifting and the fucking insane rollercoaster it had been thus far. One day I may organize the photos etc...but essentially my first month of thrifting, happened to coincendentally be quite possibly, the most epic fucking run I have ever seen anybody compile over the span of 6 months, I mean even 8 months I've only witness from 2 people.....the last 2.5 years of sharing, and endless years of stories. So in short, every spot I hit, I was literally coming up with legit grail pieces, nothing that was truly worht something on a personal level...naw sorry, my frst Savile Row Bespoke Suit came then,,,but anyways, the problem was, that I hadn't ever done this before, Never even been in thrifts before. So I sorta just concluded that due to the where I live and the amount of money here, these must be the way shit goes, fucking Kiton and Brioni raining from the skies daily...crazy.... So just as a rookie who wins a ring doesn't truly appreciate that thing until he never wins another, I too, didn't fully appreciate aa damn thing I was pulling. I mean I had never handled all this Kiton before in my life, and 2 weeks i had an entire clothing rack full of that shit and Brioni (and one other brand saved for a future post). However I always knew Oxxford Clothes. Essentially America's only true storied quality suiting company. Mostly purchased by documented clients at trunk shows as MTM type garments, however they do offer a bespoke service as well, although I see Oxxford said to be bespoke so fucking much and it literally 99,99999% of the time, NO IT IS NOT. Homies name is in the pocket because he ordered the garment, it is made to measure, it has a listed size, stop lying dick. However I thrifted this Oxxford Coat, and right off the bat, my goddamn dead grandmother could tell you, this shit doesn't just pop up at ever corner thrift and mom and pop. 100% Cashmere coat, the lapels 100% Fox Fur (Couldn't have been anything else so positive), and yes I was floored when I came across it, and found it awesome when I tried it on and it fit like it was made for me. Obviously without question I purchased the thing. It get's a little tricky with keeping certain items like this however for one specific reason, it may be extremely rare, you may be well aware, and it also may be in pristine condition and fit you perfectly to boot. But honestly, I mean, Its a fucking full lenght cashmere w/Fox Fur Lapels coat....This would be a novelty item to keep, or if you are a collector like myself currently, obviously placed in the collection. But I looked like a wanna be fucking Frank Lucas, I would never present myself in public wearing that for anything either social or perhaps more formal even, It is baller as fuck and I knew that without question, but it wasn't me,,,,,,but Instead of keeping this in my trophy closet, I proceeded with... THE FIRST REGRET OF MY THRIFTING CAREER. I flipped it. I made a lot of fucking money. Totally meaninless. Cuz that coat is gone forever, and never will I ever see one again. Countless Oxxford Cashmere Coats. none with Fur. Jompso Thrift lesson #1: For fucks sake, knowing something is worht a lot of money doesnt mean shit, please, know what you have truly, then and only then, are you in a position to decide what to do. HOMEWORK, ALWAYS BE LEARNING, NEVER STOP, EVER...THIS ONE EXAMPLE I GOT A SMALL EXCUSE, I WAS A ROOKIE AND NAIVE, THE OTHER SHIT? I GOT NOTHIN...

[AA] My Action Adventure Story- Oh What A Friend I Would Be

THE SOUNDS OF WILDERNESS and BIRDS CHIRPING. SHWEIT! A man whistles.

EXT. WILDERNESS - DAY

RACK FOCUS-- A gloved hand presents a sugar cube as DAISY, a beautiful horse, approaches to accept the offering. She eats the cube without hesitation. She is a majestic steed with HUGE brown eyes that glisten in the morning sun.

TRAPPER reaches out and pulls Daisy’s face close to his own. Trapper is a brown-leather tanned, dark eyed, bearded cowboy. At 30, he looks experienced and weathered for his age.

There is a calmness about him as he places his forehead to hers. They share a moment.

The outdoor light glistens off of Daisy’s coat as Trapper walks down her side towards her rear. He pets her as he passes, his right arm never leaving her side. He admires her.

Daisy looks back at Trapper. She loves this moment.

Trapper feels her body. He feels her legs. He feels her hair. He pats her twice, softly, on her backside. Pan to:

Nearby, a RED FOX sniffs and walks up to a clearly dead rabbit carcass. Red Fox leans in to take a bite of the carcass when-

ZZZZZZIP! The Red Fox is suspended into the air by his right foot.

Trapper hears Red Fox freaking out, he smirks and unsheathes his knife. He walks up to find Red Fox, hanging upside down, it’s leg caught in a snare trap. Red Fox stares into the eyes of Trapper. Trapper holds his body still and slowly stabs into his heart. Red Fox goes limp.

He reaches out and releases the animal from the small makeshift trap. He lifts it up and inspects it’s size. It’s small. He looks disappointed. He places his hand on its head to inspect it. It’s in tact. He looks satisfied. He picks up the skinned rabbit carcass laying directly underneath where the fox was captured. Bait.

Trapper skins Red Fox over a tree stump. He looks very experienced with a blade. He’s done this before. He wipes the blade clean before placing it back into his waistband.

Trapper slings the fox pelt over Daisy and ties it down below her saddle. He admires her all over again as he walks towards her head and kisses her on the cheek.

He gives her another sugar cube and hops on her saddle as they ride off.

EXT. WILDERNESS

Trapper rides Daisy through the woods as they come up to--

A rapid river.

They follow the river downstream. Trapper looks across the river, his eyes widen as he spots--

A HUGE, PEARL WHITE WOLF. Staring directly at him.

SLOW MOTION-- Trapper and Daisy continue to trot downstream as Trapper and the White Wolf remain locked in a staring contest.

Trapper whistles as Daisy comes to a halt. The White Wolf and Trapper remain in eye contact for a BEAT. The White wolf runs off into the thick woods behind him.

Trapper hops down off of Daisy. He unties the saddlebag from Daisy and throws it over his back. He reaches for his rifle that is slung across Daisys back. He hesitates and eventually takes his hand off of it, instead grabbing the skinned fox carcass.

He points to the ground in front of him and whistles for Daisy to stay put. She acknowledges him and he presents her with a sugar cube. Daisy eats the cube and stays put as he heads towards the river.

EXT. WILDERNESS - THE RAPID RIVER

Trapper stares into the raging current before jumping in. He struggles as the waves crash into his face and push him downstream. Daisy looks on in angst as he reaches the other side.

He looks back to Daisy, assuringly. She calms just as they hear a WOLF HOWL in the distance. Trapper looks back towards the tree line in terror. He looks back towards Daisy who is hopping around. She’s clearly disturbed.

SHWEIT! Trapper whistles and waves for Daisy to calm down. She slows to a halt as he hops up and runs for cover behind a massive tree.

EXT. WILDERNESS - A LARGE FASCINATING TREE

Trapper is covered next to a large tree, knife in hand, scouting the area. His head is on a swivel.

He inspects the tree. It’s large with thick branches. Climbable.

Trapper remains under cover listening intently. BEAT

He hears nothing. He turns around to the climbable area of the tree and opens up the saddlebag.

Trapper grabs and unwinds a role of thick wire. He breaks some sticks off of a tree as he is no longer concerned about noise, instead focused on completing the trap as quickly as possible.

He saws off pieces of the sticks with his knife and hammers them into the ground. He throws the wire over a tree branch, tying it to the anchored sticks, creating a snare trap.

His head is on a swivel. He ties one end of the wire to a heavy log. The other end he forms into a loop and camouflages under the foliage.

He drops the fox carcass onto the bait area of the trap, loads the excess tools in the saddlebag, and throws it into the bush nearby. He sheathes his knife and climbs the tree.

From the canopy, he looks across the river to Daisy, who is looking on intently. SHWEIT! He whistles. Daisy stops in understand and lies down, covered by the bush.

EXT. WILDERNESS - A FASCINATING TREE - NIGHT

Trapper is waiting patiently in the tree, just above the fox carcass. He waits. And waits. Beat

CUT TO:

From across the river Daisy stands up. She nays loudly. Trapper hears her and looks over. She nays again and rears back on her hind legs.

Trapper looks down at the trap just as --

SWOOSH! A white flash darts across the screen. The bait is gone. The trap still in tact. Trapper looks upset and confused.

Trapper hops down and inspects the trap. It’s unmoved, untouched. He looks toward the tree line in wonder.

He grabs the saddlebag from the bush and begins walking back to the river. A few steps forward and he hears Daisy nay loudly. He looks across the river and sees her--

Daisy nays again and rears back on her hind legs. Trapper freezes. --

WHAM! A WHITE FLASH DARTS ACROSS THE SCREEN as a White Wolf LEAPS ONTO TRAPPER, tackling him to the ground. A life or death struggle ensues. White Wolf bites and claws at Trapper as he attempts to block White Wolf’s attacks.

Daisy is completely losing her mind on the other side of the river. She takes a step in as if to test the water. The current is stronger than before. She steps back out and helplessly watches the ensuing battle from across the river.

White Wolf continues to attack Trapper. He reaches for his knife as the attacking White Wolf BITES into his wrist. Blood sprays as he screams in sheer agony. He finds the strength to rear his leg back and KICK White Wolf directly in his chest.

He unsheathes his knife just as White Wolf begins tearing into his right leg, just below the knee. He lets out another painful scream as he fumbles with his knife. Daisy is still pacing the other side of the river, helpless.

White Wolf begins to PULL Trapper back like a dog playing tug of war with a child. Trapper is being drug like a rag doll. He drops his knife. White Wolf is mangling his leg as --

POP! The leg breaks. Trapper lets out a harrowing scream. SLOW MOTION-- Trapper looks back as Daisy is beside herself, helpless, across the river. He looks at White Wolf gnawing at his leg. White Wolf stops his attack and makes eye contact with Trapper. White Wolf pulls one last time as --

ZWING! The snare trap grabs White Wolf and lifts him up in the air 3 feet! There’s a second of relief as Trapper pulls himself backward toward the river to safety just as--

POP! The trap breaks and White Wolf falls to the ground. He is fuming with anger. Trapper looks terrified. White Wolf sprints towards Trapper and with bloody teeth showing jumps towards his face --

BOOM!

Daisy comes out of nowhere and KICKS White Wolf brutally across the body sending White Wolf flying!

White Wolf is hurt but manages to stand up and snarl, staring directly at Daisy. Daisy rears back showing all of her might and size. She is up on her hind legs ready to attack.

White Wolf growls, shows his teeth, and hesitates before turning and running back into the woods.

Daisy approaches Trapper and sees his injuries. He has cuts and scratches everywhere. His clothes torn to shreds. Just below his right knee the bone is exposed and bleeding profusely.

He is fixated on the wound. It is a strangely entrancing sight.

EXT. WILDERNESS - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT

Daisy takes a drink from the river water as Trapper struggles up to a hobble beside her. He is hurt badly.

Daisy kneels down and helps Trapper up as he struggles to mount the saddle. She stands back up as he gets situated. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bloody sugar cube for Daisy as they trot off.

End of Act 1

EXT. TOWN - WEEKS LATER - DAY

We hear the sound of WIND CHIMES and see the entrance of an old, dirty, wooden town from the early 1800s. The wind picks up DUST and carries it down the old dirt road as a TUMBLEWEED follows in it’s direction.

Theres an old SALOON across from a GENERAL STORE before the town opens up to reveal the MARKETPLACE, a huge square where the towns people have their own storefront shops and tents set up.

EXT. MARKETPLACE - DAY

We hear the trades of the towns folk grow louder, many of which turn into arguments. There is a full on fight in the background as Trapper, leg casted, rides Daisy through the heavily populated marketplace. There are rabbits and other small pelts strewn to the backside of Daisy. He wears a SHEEP- HEAD hood.

SHWEIT! Trapper signals for Daisy to stop at an empty booth with a sign that reads “CLEAN KILL SKINS AND FUR”. She stops and kneels on her front legs.

Trapper fumbles his way off onto one leg, manages to stand up, and balances himself on a pair of crutches. Daisy rises to her feet as Trapper rewards her with a sugar cube.

INT. CLEAN KILL SKINS AND FUR - DAY

He sets his small skins across a wooden table in the booth. There are 8 skins in total, all of which are in perfect condition. Small. Rabbits mostly. One red fox.

Trapper sits on a log stool underneath a tent overhang overlooking the square. He sits back and waits. And waits. Beat. No customers.

Trapper looks around and see’s the other shops using cheap gimmicks and showmanship to sell their skins. They are all damaged. Bullet holes riddle each skin. He looks disgusted.

He sees another booth with a sign that say’s “QUALITY FURS”. The old weathered man working the booth looks exhausted as he stumbles around his tent. He sips whiskey and looks across the town square as if in a trance. It’s as if Trapper is seeing his bleak future. There’s a commotion a few feet away, Trapper looks over to see --

PERCY, of similar age to Trapper, however, not as withered or worn, shows off his brand new WOLF SKIN. The towns people are in awe as they gasp and admire him.

Trapper looks at Percy confused and shocked. How could Percy have gotten a clean kill on such a large wolf? He investigates the skin from a distances as he SPOTS IT- The wolf has a bullet hole right on the top of its skull. He looks disgusted just as--

Aliya, the most beautiful woman in the square, walks up next to Percy and smiles at the on-lookers. She is wearing a large red fox skin. It’s PERFECT. She looks over and makes eye contact with --

Trapper and Aliya lock eyes. SLOW MOTION-- They share a moment.

Aliya looks up and notices Trappers SHEEPSKIN HOODY. She looks away and kisses Percy on the cheek. Trapper looks devastated as he watches the two lovers hold each other. Aliya looks back at Trapper one last time.

Trapper adjusts his gaze to Percy as he continues to inspect the wolf skin from a distance. He notices the damage to the wolfs right leg. He looks determined as he sits back.

Daisy walks over to Trapper and nudges him with her nose. He pets her reassuringly.

EXT. TRAPPER’S LAND - NIGHT

Daisy gallops playfully in a small fenced area in front of a small wooden cabin on a hill. Trapper looks around at his house and his land. It’s small. He wears a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

INT. HORSE PEN. NIGHT.

Inside the house is a horse pen. Trapper fills two metal buckets with chaff and water.

He turns around to see Daisy, frozen in the doorway. Half inside, half outside. Trapper chuckles, sighs. He whistles, snaps and points at the pen.

Daisy exhales, points his head down. Trapper walks up to Daisy, pets his forehead. Daisy lays his head on Trapper’s shoulder. He doesn’t want to move. Trapper takes a step back, looks Daisy in the eyes.

From his pouch, he pulls out a sugar cube. Daisy sniffs at it. Trapper walks back into the pen and invites Daisy over. Daisy follows, walks into pen and up to sugar cube. Trapper lets him eat it, he smiles, and kisses Daisy on forehead.

He closes the pen, locks the gate.

INT. TRAPPER’S CABIN

Trapper’s sits in a wooden chair in the middle of the cabin. Various traps, weapons, and skins decorate the dark surroundings. A few candles dimly light cabin. He leans forward, knees on his elbows, staring at the opposite side of the cabin.

On the opposite wall there is a small snare trap set up with a small piece of cheese in the bait area. Trapper waits.

Finally, we see a rat emerge from a mouse hole. Trapper looks determined. He sniffs around before noticing the small cheese. In a flash the rat sprints to the cheese and snatches it before the snare can go off. He runs back to his hole in the wall and disappears. Trapper looks on inquisitively.

CUT TO:

Trapper picks up the small snare trap and in its place rolls a comically large wheel of cheese. He returns back to the chair and waits. Beat.

The rat reemerges from its hole, sniffing, looking around. It notices the wheel of cheese. It walks over and sniffs the cheese. It looks around and lays down as it begins to eat it. Trapper sits back and smirks. He points his finger toward the rat, mimicking a handgun, and mouths the word “boom”.

CUT TO:

Trapper is building something. He welds a few spots. Drives a few nails home. He pulls back a mechanism on the lever and it SNAPS in place. He looks satisfied as he inspects it. It looks like a BEAR TRAP. He pushes in the center of it with a broom handle--

SNAP! We hear a CLANK OF METAL as the broom snaps in half. Trapper looks on in delight.

End of Act II

EXT. WILDERNESS - NIGHT - WEEKS LATER

Daisy carries Trapper through the wilderness. The only light is from the lantern he carries. Trapper’s beard is now longer and his leg is no longer wrapped, fully healed. He wears a look of determination.

They continue through the wilderness when they come up to--

EXT. WILDERNESS - THE RAPID RIVER - ON LAND

The raging river from before. Trapper looks at the rapid water. Daisy is uneasy. He looks across the river. It’s the same tree from before. It’s the same area he was attacked previously. He is taken aback, yet determined. He hops down off of Daisy.

Trapper unties the saddlebag from Daisy’s back and places it on his own. He places his hand on his rifle that is on Daisys back. BEAT. He picks it up. He steps back, straps the rifle to his back, and looks Daisy in her eyes.

FLASHBACK-- A White Wolf snarls, looking ferocious and ready to attack.

Back to Trapper as he motions for Daisy to cross the river with him. She looks at the water and hesitates. He pulls out a sugar cube and gives it to Daisy. He pulls her face closer to his and rests his forehead on hers.

EXT. THE RAPID RIVER - IN THE WATER

Trapper struggles across the river, same as before, as Daisy seems to make the swim look easy. She trots up as she reaches land, turns around, and waits for Trapper. Struggling, he reaches the other side.

He stands up, looks at Daisy and smiles. He grabs her face and kisses her. He hugs her big body. He admires her.

EXT. A FASCINATING TREE - NIGHT

The lantern hangs near the tree as Trapper is hard at work putting together his trap. His head is on a swivel and he checks his surroundings.

Daisy paces back and forth as if standing watch.

Trapper works vigorously. He looks down at the trap in admiration. He bends down and struggles opening it. He feels the teeth of the trap. They look very sharp. The trap is ready.

Trapper stands up and looks over at Daisy. He is in total admiration of her. He pulls a single sugar cube from his pocket and holds it out towards her.

SHWEIT! He whistles for her to come over. She looks at him with love as she walks towards him. Just before she can reach the sugar cube--

SNAP! We hear a CLANK OF METAL. SLOW MOTION-- Daisy stops dead in her tracks and looks Trapper in his eyes. They share a moment.

Daisy looks down to reveal her leg is in the BEAR TRAP. It is broken and bleeding. She looks up to see Trapper holding the rifle to her head--

KABOOM!

The GUN SHOT rings out through the wilderness as it fades off into the night. Daisy drops to the ground immediately. Trapper tosses the rifle into the bushes nearby as he unsheathes his knife and climbs into the tree above.

Beat.

White Wolf appears at Daisy’s carcass. It looks around as if inspecting the area for danger. It lays down as it begins to feast on Daisy.

Trapper looks down in delight as he drops down, knife in hand.

INT. TRAPPER’S CABIN

JAZZ begins to swell as a beautiful sunrise sweeps the land as we see Aliya, dressed still in her perfect Red Fox skin, standing on the cabin patio, drinking a cup of tea.

Trapper approaches and gives her a hug from behind. He is wearing a perfect White Wolf skin. The head is in tact. There is no damage to the skin.

She looks up at him in admiration. He appreciates her. He caresses her body. Her strong legs. Her hair. He admires her. He places his forehead to hers before kissing her on the cheek. He pats her on the behind twice. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a sugar cube, and drops it into her tea.

She looks at him with big beautiful brown eyes as the camera pans away revealing the towns people looking on in admiration.

Percy looks at the damage on his own wolf skin in disappointment. We see the horse pen with a new baby horse in it as we fade away.

EXT. WILDERNESS - NIGHT

A pack of Wolves ferociously feast on the carcass of Daisy. The camera pans away from the broken leg in the bear trap and settles on a sugar cube that is on the ground. We hear a crunch as blood spatters the cube.

Fade to black as we hear a child sing the words “Oh what a friend I would be!”

The End.

-Zako Ryan/ Diego Torrado

The Gentleman's Guide To British Slang (A to Zed)

American and the British speak the same language, or do we? The British have a unique use of particular English words that Americans find difficulty in understanding. If you're not careful, it's possible a good natured Brit might try to take the piss with you. Blimey! You don't want to be the brunt of a joke, do you? While English is my first and only language, I always say I'm bilingual as I'm familiar with both American English and British English. I had to learn, otherwise I'd be lost when out with friends. There is no need for you to be confused. Study the following comprehensive list of British slang before your next trip to London. I've highlighted the most commonly used words or phrases in red. Now there is no need for you to scratch your head about the meaning of something or find yourself in a precarious situation because you don't know the language.
