#cap's sheild

[haydenthewitch]

hey so i am SO OBSESSED anytime the marvel writers show how close someone is with cap by showing how well they can wield the shield. marvel writers do this often, (Bucky, nat, sam, ect.) and they EAT IT UP EVERY TIME.

I wonder if the marvel writers have quotas characters have to fill before they are close enough with cap to efficiently wield the shield.

also for work relationships (tony and Thor) they also interact with the shield (bouncing blasts off of it) but they don't throw it around or every holster it on their arm (like BUCKY NAT AND SAM DO.)

it's such a good metaphor for Steve's relationships (and obviously it's a part of him, too.)

((it kinda makes me wonder if he ever did a special training sessions with these people, where they just threw around the giant frisbee. Nat and bucky have their hair up in identical ponytails. Sam is lowkey stressed the entire time. peter is there too, and he's doing charts and physics calculations ("That thing doesn't follow the laws of physics at all!!!") maybe one day tony invites himself because hell, what is half of stark tower hanging out and doing without him? It becomes tradition.))

Alright friends, this is my first fic and it is an Azriel x Reader, this is my first one and maybe there will be a second part but that’s up to you guys.

POV: you find out Azriel’s you mate but you start getting the could shoulder from him after he returns from a mission.

A/N: Like I said part one of probably 2, y’all let me know.

You couldn’t take it anymore, you just needed to get away. You found out that Azriel was your mate about 2 months ago, it didn’t shock you at all because you’ve loved this man your whole life. What you couldn’t stand was how much he had been ignoring you and giving you the cold shoulder.

You were in an official meeting with the inner circle when the bond snapped for you. Rhys had been talking about the uprising in some of the camps and how they would need to go and sort it out, they as in Cassian and Azriel. When Rhys had said one of the uprising camps was the one you grew up in both you and Azriel tensed although you didn’t note his reaction at first because in the tense emotions of thinking of back home, that’s when the bond snapped for you.

You thought maybe Azriel felt it too but you couldn’t be sure. You thought the bond would be this warm feeling in your chest but it just felt cold and distant. You would have to check with Rhys to see if that’s how he felt after he found out Fayre was his mate.

After the meeting Cassian and Azriel left immediately for their respective camps, Azriel going to the one you grew up in where your father and mother still lived. Luckily your mom was friends with Rhys mother from a young age so you were able to keep your wings and not get clipped but that didn’t save you from the full extent of your fathers wrath. That was a reason you were so scared for Azriel to go, he knew the whole history of how your father had treated you, the beatings and public humiliation being the smaller transgressions. Azriel had walked out of Rhys’ office so quickly after they were dismissed that you weren’t able to get a word in, you said your goodbyes and be safe to Cassian and when you went to find Azriel you found Mor instead.

“He already left lovey.” Mor said with a sad smile. You knew that her using that pet name for you wasn’t a good sign and that she could probably tell what was going through your mind. You ran away before she could get a word in otherwise because the tears would fall.

Everyone left you alone for the month Azriel was gone sensing that there was something going on and that if you wanted to talk about you would find them. Fayre tried talking to you but you shut her out immediately.

When Azriel and Cassian got back you were in the dinning room enjoying some breakfast, as they passed by you Azriel didn’t even look at you and Cassian gave you a weak smile. You tried to feel down the bond but there was absolutely nothing, just cold and dark, it made your heart break.

Over the next few weeks you were thinking that giving Azriel space would be the answer and that he’d be coming to join you in either training or in the library for a night cap like he used to do so often before the bond snapped for you. There was nothing, you never ran into him even though you could hear his foot steps throughout the house as if the house wanted you to know where he was. There were also times when you’d see some of his shadows lurking about, some would come right up to you as if you were their master and swirl under your hair and around your neck. Maybe they were here on his behalf and maybe they’d report back to him, you didn’t know and tried not to care.

Once a month hit from his return of your home camp you needed to get out, get away, it was all too much. You found yourself outside of Rhys’s office at the river house once your mind was made up.

“Are you sure you want to go away for that long?” He had asked you.

“I want the same thing that was given to Fayre, time up in the cabin alone and sheilded so that no one knows I’m there. I need a break” Your eyes had a pleading look in them with a tinge of heartbreak too.

“When do you want to leave” Rhys said sighing in disbelief. The house of Wind has been your home for many years, and he didn’t think that any of the jobs he’s given you were so strenuous that you needed to be away from your family.

“I’m ready to go now, I packed my bags before I came to see you. And I want Mor to take me, if you take me there will be too many questions.”

Surprised at you readiness to leave he agreed and got in touch with Mor, she appeared almost instantaneously making you think she was just outside listening in. “Ready to go lovey?” She had asked, you nodded your head too afraid of speaking just in case your voice broke. “Then off we go.”

You arrived at the cabin up in the wilderness within a moment and when you walked in and saw all the artwork, you wanted to cry. Having your family all around you while being so far away brought you some comfort but not much. You looked to where the eyes were and found Azriel’s right away.

“Do you need anything, want me to stay for a bit?” Mor asked breaking you out of your trance.

“No I think I’m good, just need to be away from everything, everyone.” You said trying to add a laugh in at the end but the sound was strained and laced with pain.

“Who’s ass do I have to beat, because I don’t care who it is, I’ll beat them up for you. Just give me a name.” Mor tried to get you to laugh but a look in your eyes showed that it was a love problem and although she didn’t know about the bond you have to Azriel, she does know that you’ve had a crush on him for centuries. “Maybe, he’ll realize what was missing since it’s not in front of him anymore.” She said with a weak smile.

You returned the smile and with sad eyes responded “Yeah, maybe.” And without saying goodbye she left knowing that if you spoke anymore that might be your downfall and it would all come out.

Two weeks you had been up at the cabin in pure silence and peace. You brought some books with you in order to pass the time, not like you’d get bored but you were lonely. Rhys and more stayed true to their word so far and haven’t tried to visit or try and get through your mental shield, you also went as far to build a wall up to the bond, feeling nothing was better than feeling the coldness that it brought with it.

It was when you were picking out your next book that you saw it from the corner of your eye, a shadow, and the second it realized you had noticed it, it vanished. Your heart rate picked up because now you didn’t know what was going to happen but your rapid thoughts caused you to drop your shields and you felt worried beyond any understanding and then Rhys speaking into your mind “I’m so sorry”

another radio script for Billy

The Whizz radio intro tones-

Billy Batson then starts speaking through a slightly crackly radio as Fawcett is a city someone lost to time, given its connection to the Rock of Eternity.

Welcome to WHIZZ Radio: Where we give the latest news, truths, and views of Fawcett City. Brought to you by your host, me, Billy Batson.

Today we’ll begin with our community news! Atlas would like to thank the people of Fawcett for their influx of offerings. We will all find a little more endurance this week. Captain Marvel also expressed thanks for the offerings left at his shrine and will continue to try his best for our city. 

Tonight is the new moon; a good time for spells of renewal, fresh starts, and seeking a way out of the darkness. Keep an eye out for candle sales so you can perform your renewing rituals at a reasonable cost. Beck’s Storehouse is running a sale on all black candles and as always a percentage of their sales goes to the local soup kitchen. Be sure to make a pit stop there before midnight tonight. I know I will!

Onto traffic! Currently, there are still delays on Mainstreet, but the fissures to Hades have been sealed up. Major thanks to Persephone. There are no other traffic delays to report.

Heres the weather! There has been a lot of Milfoil flowers springing up from Cap’s lightning strikes lately. Watch the skies for oncoming war. There will be a thin fog tonight, watch out for strangers lurking in the mists. Only go home with those you are sure are your friends and family. Spirits might pretend to be the people that you know. 

Right into the Capes and Crooks news bulletin. Dr. Sivana is still missing and will likely stay so for a while. Arson Fiend is back on the streets. Double check your fire insurance and keep an eye out for the pryokentic man. He has a tendency to go for businesses not insured by Sheild & Stone Insurance despite being fired from said company after his first arrest. You’d think hed stop showing company loyalty after the checks stopped coming, but nope! That dead hoofer seems set on getting everyone to sign up for Shield & Stone. Wild. 

This radio program is brought to you by Eloise’s Herbs and Verbs. A shop for all your cooking and spell-casting needs. If there's anything you need from Sunday dinner to Wednesday night curses, Eloise has you covered. Don't get your materials from the chain stores, get it from a local. Grown with care and sure to work every time.

*Little jingle*

Welcome back to the program. Time for our daily sister city’s segment. 

Annnnd….  

*sarcasm fills Billy’s voice*

I, Billy, your host, has been told that I need to apologize officially to Black Adam and state clearly that, my, Billy Batson’s, opinions do not reflect the opinion of WHIZZ radio. 

Im sorry for calling Black Adam a kook and someone bearing a grudge unbecoming of a king and calling him a ancient man-child.

There. Happy?

*indidstict producer noise*

Perfect. Onwards and upwards. 

Kahndaq continues to thrive despite the work of the UN and lack of response from the Justice League. Queen Bee has attempted to launch an attack on their northern border. Black Adam was quick to remind the world that while an ex-champion out of the good graces of the Wizard, he is still a champion with his own patrons' support. 

He threw a tank fifty feet and none in Kahndaq died from the attempted raid. The Justice League has expressed some worry over this feat of strength, but this reporter would like to remind people that Superman has been tossing robots for years. To me, it seems like a bunch of floy floy. 

Fawcett still stands with Kahndaq and recognizes the country as sovereign while most of the world sees it as illegitimate. Hold in there.

Adam has not been seen in Fawcett for a week. Which is good. Means he's focusing on what he's supposed to instead of harassing Cap like a stalker. Good for him. Maybe he actually going to anger management. Good for him!!

Guest speaker- interview or!! Opinion peoce- billy raving about anyone. Anyone. Good or bad.

Now its time again for Billy's opinion of the day!  

So!  Id like to take a moment and chatter about our other midwest hero, Flash! He’s been around town a few times and Im sure everyone heard about his big charity race with Supes! 

He’s a lot like Cap in how he helps out around his home town and he’s a great listener.

Just listen to this recent Facebook post by Nancy; ‘Flash recently helped my son find his way home. Joseph got turned around on the opposite side of town, without any phone battery. He was so nervous about trying to find any help, as most of the stores on the street were closed. Flash saw Joseph trying not to cry and helped him on his way home. Was nice enough to tell him what to do if it ever happened again. Real sweetheart, he is officially our family's favorite hero.’ What a story.

He also comes to help when Mercury gets in a racing mood, which is always nice. It helps keep drivers and random runners from randomly getting whisked to the racing stadium. 

Please dont forget to donate to the Flash drive that Central City is hosting tomorrow to help feed their speedsters. All that running makes them real hungry!.

*Mercury intro* 

Ah hello Mercury!! Here, a few viewers sent in a few gifts for you as thanks for yesterdays warning.

*chimes* 

 New mail? Thank you, Mercury! 

*shuffling papers*

Ah! Keep an eye out for a Victorian-looking child with an orange cat and pointed black hair. Klarion is back in town and may wish to cut a chaotic deal with you. Hopefully, he’s listening in. hey, Klarion! I didnt forget about our dinner plans. Please meet me at the Waffle House at 5. Please please dont forget that we planned to hang out because you got distracted with making chaos. Thanks pal! 

With that, our show comes to an end.

Do good, and good will follow.

And keep an eye on the sky for lightning!

This has been Billy Batson, signing off!

After a two years and change of playing, one of my favorite things about Marvel Snap is the ways in which the card mechanics are themed after/used to allude to character relationships;

Fitting the Annihilation-era idea that the GOTG are supposed to be a reactive defensive force, most GOTG cards punish your opponent for playing cards at their location- with the exception of Nebula, who baits your opponent into playing cards in a specific location, and Yondu, who preemptively murks a target of opportunity in your opponent's deck without provocation

Many of the Avengers-associated characters (Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-man, Hawkeye, Black Panther) are individually so-so in their power levels but rapidly snowball if played to the same location

Most Wakanda/Atlantis-associated cards are structured around juicing up a single card deployed as a big finish; of these, Black Panther is the only one who isn't penalized and even benefits from being played to the same location as his allies, while Namor, Attila and Orka need to be alone at their locations to gain power

The X-Men lineup features a host of location lockdown, movement, destruction and immunity-to-destruction effects that can be used in conjunction with each other to emulate the team's signature drilled tactical maneuvers

Venom and Carnage both destroy all cards at their location, but Venom is strictly numerically superior because he absorbs the strength of what he destroys while Carnage only gets a flat 2-point bonus; Carnage being useful as a location-clearing attack dog who's cheaper to deploy than the brand-name symbiote

Wolverine as a character who gets jerked around a lot but also gets progressively stronger as the result of his experiences, warts and all; Sabretooth as a foil who never meaningfully improves but also just won't go away

Hulk and She-Hulk absorbing unused energy to grow more powerful; Red Hulk growing more powerful in kind when an opponent attempts to feed their hulks this way, as a direct counter to doing so

All SHEILD-associated cards act as recruiters, press-ganging eclectic groups of characters who wouldn't be caught dead together unprompted; The Helicarrier does this when discarded, implying to me that you're receiving whichever capes crawled out of the wreckage following its most recent crash

The Captain America sheild in rivals is such an interesting artifact

Okay so I went down a Cap's sheild shaped rabbit hole.

I was looking into the Rivals version of the sheild as I was trying to articulate why I got the impression it was kind of ugly, but then I realized:

It appears this version of the sheild is mixing elements from the golden age and secret wars toyline (plus the energy sheild abilities).

This is such an intersting choice, as Cap's sheild has become very standardized over the last couple of years. And because of that it can creare such an odd first impression.

But, once you read his bio and if you know your marvel history, it makes perfect sense.

As this Cap is just coming off the ice, so he would have just gone through his golden age. Meaning his shield would still look like it did back then. And with no Tony or Coulson in 2099 to serve the role of marvel editorial and revamp the shield it would make sense it is mostly unchanged.

With the exception of the one major visible upgrade being a container(?) around the sheild that looks pretty much spot on to the lenticular shields from the original secret wars toyline.

The "Secret Wars" being the templates for hero/villain team battles (sw1) and multiveral mashups (sw2)

So the sheild is telling you "this guy just got unthawed yesterday, but now he's been plucked out of wherever he was to fighting accross the multiverse"

I may not love the aesthetics, but that's such a fun use of the character's lore to do visual story telling, that I just take off my hat to the designers, freaking amazing.

[alixzanrite]

Alright, so I keep having like this dream, or I think it's a dream, but it seems more like a memory.

In this dream or memory I'm reading a comic or a short story about the Avengers and this is how it sorta went.

Peter was in a car with his aunt and uncle, holding his pet tarantula, Karen. It was his 7th birthday and they were driving back home when they suddenly spot something in the middle of the road and swerved, crashing, killing his aunt and uncle. Peter, afraid and alone, leaves the reck and wonder through a forest filled with thick fog.

Peter continues to walk for a bit until a group of monster hunters find him. The leader walks up a knelt down asking "are you alright? What are you doing out here? It's dangerous." The leader was quickly interrupted by one of the others saying "don't fall for the monsters tricks, he must be an illusion." Firing his crossbow, spooking Peter, causing him to run away.

As peter runs through the forest dodging trees through the thick fog as arrows are fired at him. As the hunters chase him, they start to get picked off silently one by one, leaving only three left. Peter climbs up a tree, and the first man that spooked him followed yelling, "Get back here, you little brat!" The other two at the bottom and look around, realizing their group of over 20 people was down to just three.

Yelling up "boss! Come back down!" The man stops his chase in irritated confusion and yells back as he looks down "what!? Why?! We almost got the little-" he didn't see them. He was the last one. "Shit-" as he spoke he's pushed out of the tree by a ghost looking sheild. "Nice hit Steve." Yelled up what looked to be a zombie with a metal arm.

There was a red-haired vampire wiped blood from her chin as a satyr carrying a bow ask her, "You still hungry nat?" To which the vampire response "no thanks, clint." A green looking werewolf walks up alongside a harpy with feathers of a falcon. The harpy asks "what were those guys even chasing anyways?" They all paused and Steve looks back at the tree where peter was only to see a broken branch and a web

As the monsters were talking peter took the chance to jump down a run again. Shooting a web from his wrists to gain speed. He closes his eyes as he runs and bumps into something or someone. Peter lands on the ground and looks up to see a demon with a weird blue glow at his chest, looking down at him with a raised brow, standing next to what looked to another vampire with a sentient red cap that detaches itself and flies close to peter as if it's curious.

"A child?" The demon asks when the vampire says "he's not human, Tony. He's what those hunters were chasing." The demon thinks for a moment and reaches for Peter, who closes his eyes until he feels himself being picked up. "Guess he's one of us now."

And then it ends, like I wanna know if this is actually something that exists or if I made it up, but is so detailed that it's like a memory. Yall help me out I think im going crazy.

[testingthewatersss]

Are you my Captain? Trigger warnings for PTSD, mentions of war, arguing, etc. Protective Steve is lowkey an asshole. Bucky Barnes x F Reader Chapter 2 1470 words fluff, angst, tension, comfort. 18+ MDNI

You each tell your own friends. That was the deal you made with Bucky when you finally got together. A year later and he's finally figuring out why you'd been so sure that you'd gotten the better part of the deal with Tony.

She wants him to not be hungry, but she doesn’t think her concern is going to be particularly helpful in achieving that goal- so, she just beams, and when they get into the car, asks him to pull through one of her favourite drive-throughs.

He obliges without a fight, and even orders himself a meal without her having to prompt.

They eat in the parking lot. Not rushing to get back to the tower now they’re already on their way.

And then, they arrive. They pull in to the underground garage and decide to head straight up to the suite they share.

They’re hand in hand and walking, and then—

Steve.

Their hands part instantly as they observe how he’s stood, anxiously guarding their door, with Natasha off to his right, clearly trying to make him reconsider his position.

Bucky grumbles something under his breath, and Y/N squeezes his hand, knowing how much he hates any kind of confrontation with the man.

“Hey, Cap—” she greets a little too loudly, “—Nat” she adds, “Isn’t it a little late for a surprise visit?”

Her sudden arrival and pleasant demeanour has clearly taken the duo off guard.

“I didn’t want to miss you gettin’ back” Steve says, “and I figured you might not come up through the front—.”

“You figured right” Bucky inserts, voice significantly less cheery,

“I didn’t know you were with her, Buck, you’re back late—”

“—We got food” he snaps, cutting the blonde, off, “I didn’t think I still had to ask for permission to do things like that.”

The sharpness in his words hits Steve like a slap. His posture changes instantly, and Natasha steps forwards, trying to alleviate the tension.

Y/N even relents, whispering out a “play nice” that only Barnes can hear.

He looks at her for a second and then sighs.

“Tony asked him to come pull me out of the office” Y/N explains calmly, “You know he’s weird about me driving in the dark, and we decided to make a detour to a drive through on our way back. If we’d have known you were waiting to ambush me again we’d have brought you some fries.”

The red haired woman laughs, and tries to hide the “I told you this wouldn’t work” on her face as she looks back on Steve.

It doesn’t work well at all, and Y/N ends up beaming at her in response.

“I just wanted to ask you again—”

“You can ask as much as you like” she says, “My answer isn’t going to change.”

“And you weren’t expecting Barnes—” Nat chimes in, “Now he’s here maybe you can just ask him instead.”

Y/N scoffs as Bucky stares at him, patience waining.

Steve is clearly uncomfortable. He hadn’t anticipated being caught like this;

“I… uh—“

“You wanted to ask me if I’m working for SHEILD—” Bucky says, irritated, “—I’ve told you a hundred times that I’m not.”

“Its not just SHEILD” Steve clarifies, “I know you haven’t signed up officially, Buck, but if they wanted to draft you as an—”

“Just say what you mean, Steve” Y/N commands, “You mean me— You’re asking if I have asked him to do anything off the books.”

“Have you?”

“I’m not answering that” she says indignantly, “I’ve told you it would be classified, frankly I’m a little insulted that you won’t just drop it—”

“That’s not a no” he fires back, “I—”

“It’s none of your business” Bucky says, “I’m a grown man, and all this sneakin’ around, turnin’ up at head-office, cornerin’ Y/N/N and tryin’ to get her to tell you my business needs to stop. You’re actin’ crazy, Steve.”

That takes him off guard. His jaw is slack, until it ticks, locking as he folds his arms over his chest.

“I’m just worried about you, Buck”

“Why?” he counters, “I’m safe, now, or at least that’s what everyone keeps tellin’ me. Should’t I be able to decide to just go away for a couple of days without having to report everything I plan on doin’ before I’ve even left? Shouldn’t I be able to go out to dinner without needin’ to tell you, first? I mean christ, shouldn’t you trust me to make my own decisions without checking them with you first?”

His voice is hurt now, and it takes everything in Y/N for her not to reach out and hold his hand to comfort him.

Natasha is clearly uncomfortable too. This is exactly what she’d been trying to avoid.

The silence following his outburst hangs in the air for a moment, until Steve looks up;

“So you are going out of town?”

Y/N mutters out a curse at the same time as Bucky as Natasha finally snaps,

“That’s what you took from that?!” she demands, “You are so—”

And then Y/N knows they’re going to start arguing. Properly arguing.

“Would you like to come inside?” she asks, loudly enough for the bickering duo can hear the invitation, “It’s a little crowded out here.”

Bucky nods, shouldering his way past a gob-struck Steve, who’s still trying to piece together why he’s so upset.

Natasha will explain it to him. Y/N knows she will, even if it takes all night for her to break down that he’s become so focused on answering his one, inane question that he’s lost sight of why he wants to know in the first place.

“He loves you” is the first thing that Y/N says when the door shuts with a click behind them, “a whole lot”

“He’s a punk” is Bucky’s jovial response, though she thinks his tone is still laced with upset.

When she looks at him properly, she can see the true hurt on his face. It tugs at her heartstrings until one almost snaps in her chest;

“C’mere” she sighs, relenting and opening her arms for a hug, “Maybe we should just tell him— ‘bout the mission, ‘bout us— all of it…”

Bucky shakes his head, before he ducks it against her shoulder.

His hands are clutching her waist, as he draws in a breath.

“It’s the principle, Y/N/N” he tells her, “He doesn’t trust me to make my own choices, he keeps actin’ like I’m a child or somethin’ and I’m not lettin’ him get into the habit of pesterin’ us for information.”

Her eyes roll at his stubbornness.

They’re much more similar than either of them realise, she thinks.

“Well, we could at least tell him there is an us” she barters, “That might be enough for right now?”

“He’s not asking about us” Bucky sighs, and again, she thinks he sounds awfully, sad, “He’s only interested in if I’m fighting or planning on fighting, doll, if he’d asked me anything, anything at all ‘bout us, or how I felt ‘bout anything other than SHEILD, or the tower, or the price of groceries then maybe I’d want to him to know—”

“You do want him to know” she counters, “I know he’s annoyin’ you right now, but he’s your brother, and you—”

“Want him to care about more than just where am I, or where I plan on going.”

“He cares” Y/N promises, stroking his back now, “He’s just worried, baby… I think he’s so paranoid about losing you again that he can’t focus on anything else.”

He doesn’t reply. He just holds her tighter as he sighs into her shoulder, tension starting to ease now that he’s safely away from the conflict.

“We’ll see what mood he’s in when Natasha’s finished with him” she chuckles, “I think she was about done with his attitude before that little performance…"

That makes him smile, small and hidden at the idea of Romanoff saying everything he's been thinking for weeks, now.

It might've been satisfying to watch if the situation wasn’t so sad.

If the idea of raised voices didn’t make him want to cower in some far away corner.

“You’re tired” Y/N notes again, tone firmer now, “Let’s go to bed?”

He hums noncommittally, and makes no attempt to move away from the embrace.

She laughs then, soft and gentle before she presses her lips against his head.

“C’mon, Baby” she presses, “You can have all the fussin’ you want once we’re in bed.”

He wants more ‘fussing’ than she could ever feasibly give him, but that doesn’t stop her trying.

It doesn’t stop her from covering him in extra dry cleaned blankets, and helping him arrange himself neatly against her flank so that she can turn onto her side to watch him.

To watch his expression melt all the way from shy, to adoring, and then, to plain old exhausted as she strokes his temple, tracing gentle circles across the delicate skin as he fights to keep his eyes open.

It's undeniably real (Layla El-Faouly x The Moonknight system x Reader)

Chapter 11: But my dreams they aren't as empty

Last Chapter ~ Next Chapter

Words: 876

I clutch Jake’s hand tight as we walk through the streets of New York. I didn’t want to get separated from him and lost, for the second time since we arrived at the city. I swear I looked away for a moment and Layla and Marc had wandered off. Not this time. We were looking for the coffee bar we were supposed to meet the contact at. James Buchanan Barnes, a rather infamous name. Of all the people this underground contact would get us in touch with this was unexpected to say the least. As we rounded the corner Jake squeezed my hand. He had probably asked me if I was sure about this about fifty times as we had made our way through the city. Now the question was basically embedded in the tiny squeezes. I squeeze back, reassuring him that this is what I want. I need to know what happened to me. I need to know what happened. What was the system and what happened to it and what happened with the academy.  As we reached the coffee bar my eyes are instantly drawn to the man in the corner, Baseball cap pulled down over his eyes and a hoodie, when he looked up I felt an odd feeling of déjà vu, as his Ice blue eyes looked into mine…I knew.

“He knows.” I say to Jake under my breath. “He was there.”

~

“So I take it you’re getting some of your memories back?” Bucky leaned on the table as they talked in the corner. I felt the tense energy radiating from Jake, I keep my eyes on Bucky but reach over to Jake and squeeze his leg gently, I feel his hand over mine and he starts to relax.

“Yes, some of them. But…” I hesitate

“You don’t know how you know me?” Bucky asked with a smile. “I wasn’t really me then. I was an agent of HYDRA I was sent to the Academy to pick out new recruits. You and I worked together one on one multiple times, I was assessing you, and other students to join our program. The headmistress had promised Hydra her best student that was you.” As He explained it started to come back to me. Those eyes behind long strands of brown hair and a mask over his lower face, sparing matches and long nights at the shooting range. I feel the cold wash over me again and shutter slightly, Jake immediately reacted, reaching out to touch my shoulder.

“Hermosa…You’re safe. You’re here with me, Querida.” He says softly. I put my hand over his on my shoulder.

“I’m okay…Its just…Coming back to me.” I look at Bucky and Nod. “I’m starting to remember. You were there a lot. So hopefully you can answer my questions.”

“Hopefully…I’m sorry. I’ve spent years trying to find you. I wanted to make it right.” Bucky looked guilt ridden, his eyes downcast as he says this. I do a slight double take.

“You’ve been looking for me?” I ask, he chuckles slightly and I feel Jake tense up again.

“Yes, Not that way, you can relax.” He laughs slightly as he looks over at Jake. I hear Jake grumble something softly in Spanish.  “You were just a kid, put it a shit situation. You deserve justice.” I had been so focused on finding out what had happened to me, I hadn’t really thought about that. It didn’t feel possible. To get retribution against something that I could barely understand it happening to me, something that barely felt real, I looked over at Jake, and I feel tears in my eyes. He takes my hand in his.

“He’s right, you deserve justice, Querida.” Jake says softly, his dark eyes full of determination. He reaches out to wipe the tears from my eyes before looking at Bucky. “Do you know what happened to the system? Or why the Academy shut down?”

“I know that SHEILD agents were tasked with taking out the system, and they were successful. The Academy shut down soon after. Not many knew of its existence to begin with but without the system to fund the school or to employ the students it didn’t make much sense to continue.” Buck explains with his elbows on the table.

“And the headmistress?” I look back at Bucky “where is she?”

“Last I heard? Still somewhere in Finland.”

“Why Finland?” Jake looked confused.

“That’s where the academy was.” I said softly.  

~

Later on we were on our way back to the hotel we were staying at. I felt like I had some answers but still so many questions.  As we sat in the back of the Cab Jake had his arm around me, pulling me as close as possible. He looked deep in thought. Like his mind was in a far off place. I rested my head on his shoulder, taking in a deep breath. This was too much. Too real.

“No dejaré que nadie te lastime... Nunca más.” He mutters darkly as he pets my head and holds me tight.  

“I know… Lo sé mi amor.” I softly reply. We sit the rest of the car ride in silence. I can only wonder where we’ll go from here.

~

Translations:

No dejaré que nadie te lastime... Nunca más.: I won't let anyone hurt you… Never again.

Lo sé mi amor.: I know My love

[cyber-neptune]

Finished building 00, here he is next to Ilfrith (dont mind the mess in the background).

Building him was a lot similar and different from Ilfrith, obviously due to the fact he’s and MG and she’s HG-

I only lost a small piece on the arm and one or two green caps. It it was a pain in the ass to build some parts, almost broke the hands and decided to remove a small piece so it could fit better, broke a part of the sheild due to not having a part separator (I should buy one tbh-) and had to fix some od the chest pieces with clear tape because for some reason there’s no glue in my house.

A problem I encounter with my copy is that the upper body isn’t standing correctly. It’s probably just a defect but you can see he’s kinda sideways. Also some parts keep popping off (arms and V crest) which was pretty annoying.

Overall even tho somethings went “wrong” it was a fun experience, I’ll definitely need a part separator and glue in the future.

Now enjoy some pics I took of them

The Dexterity Cheatsheet

Was inspired by this video. which asked the question; 'what does Dexterity have as a build niche?'. Hence, decided to come up with a easy reference for all the reasons to play a dex-character.

At its most basic, Dex gives the following...

1. Attack Power for weapons with Dex scaling 2. Cast speed 3. Reduces fall damage 4. Harder to fall-off horseback

Bonuses 3+4 are not relevant in most combat scenarios, and should not be taken into account for buildmaking.

Weapon Infusions

Dexterity has 2 infusions; [Keen] and [Lightning].

Keen - the physical infusion. Raises weapon AR scaling with Dex, also scales damage on certain Weapon Skills.

Lightning - The elemental counterpart to Keen. In PvP, lightning is advantaged over other elemental damage - as it tends to be the lowest defense on player characters.

Lightning is also affected by environment. Wet targets (eg. in rain) have reduced lightning mitigation. Hiting water with lightning causes an 'explosion' that deals an burst of AOE damage.

However, elemental infused weapons cannot be buffed by most sources. Lightning Infusion also splits damage between physical and lightning; hence mitigated by both the enemy's physical and lightning defenses.

Cold - Adds magic damage, int scaling and Frostbite status. Also retains more of a weapon's physical scaling than other caster infusions. Hence, on a innately dex-scaling weapon - Cold will scale well from both Int and Dex; hybrids take note.

Weapon Skills/Arts

Damage for Weapon Skills is very complex.

In general - skills that swing the weapon care about the weapon's attack rating (AR). Skills that shoot projectiles care about stats. (A detailed explanation can be found in this video)

Listed here are Weapon Skills of specific Keen/Lightning affinity. There are many excellent 'general use' Weapon Arts, just not innately dex-focused.

Thunderbolt Lightning affinity, bullet art. The infamous spam tool of arena duels; effectively gives ranged magic without needing to build a caster and while using any weapon. Lightning Slash Enhanced hit. Adds a fixed lightning damage buff to your weapon regardless of whether it lands. 'Elemental Slash' type weapon arts are one of the few ways to buff weapons with elemental infusions. Beast Roar Keen affinity, bullet art. Another infamous ranged spam, this time a physical projectile. As with Thunderbolt, effectively gives access to ranged on any weapon.

Cast Speed

"Shortens the animation when casting spells"

This is a complex stat, do note that...

This is based on specific breakpoints unique to each spell, there is no global %cast speed modifier. In general, 70 Dex is the cap for cast speed. Items that add Cast Speed (eg. Radagon's Icon) add 30 virtual dexterity (vdex), treating your cast speed as if you had +30 Dex.

Hence, if you plan to make a dex-caster hybrid - spell choice and your dex-int/fth split affects how much of an impact cast speed will make.

Consumables

"Consumables with scaling in Dexterity"

Throwing Knives (All) - Exceptional dex scaling on Fan Daggers (A) and Kukri (S). Others like Poisonbone Dart have significant scaling in both Dex + Arc.

Throwing Pots (Lightning) - 2 variants, Lightning Pot and Dragonbolt Pot.

Spark Aromatic - Damaging perfume, unusual in having fire damage while being dex scaling.

Noteworthy Weapons

This is not a list of best weapons, but weapons that are noteworthy within each class for dex characters.

Many weapon classes such as Halberds have broadly good movesets and can be scaled in many ways. Similarly, a weapon can be good purely off its moveset, even if the numbers are not the most optimal.

Dagger - Misericorde, Scorpion's Stinger, Celebrant's Sickle, Bloodstained Dagger, Great Knife Dex friendly weapon class in general. Misericorde is a critical-hit tool with high AR on Lightning, it also has the longest reach in class. Though in practice, this means little Scorpion's has innate rot and a dex bias scaling. Celebrant's has sheild pierce and high AR. Bloodstained and Greatknife are both regular weapons with innate bleed, while also scaling well with dex. However, do note that unless you started as a Bandit, these weapons are hard to acquire.

Straight Sword - Warhawk Talon, Noble's Slender Sword Among regular straight swords, these 2 have a bias toward dex scaling. The difference in reach and AR between regular straight swords is quite minor. Broadswords etc. are all very useable.

Greatsword - Flamberge Of the regular weapons, Flamberge is the only one with a distinct dex bias. Most other Greatswords have a Str bias, though many (eg. Claymore, Knight's Greatsword) are very playable on dex.

Colossal Sword UGS - Zweihander, Greatsword, Godslayer Greatsword For regular weapons, Zweihander has the lowest str req and scales best on Keen. Greatsword has higher str req, but has more AR on Lightning. Godslayer has faster standard attacks and is a rare source of dex-scaling fire damage.

Thrusting Sword - Cleanrot's Knight's Sword, Estoc, Antspur Rapier A dex-biased class overall, in general... Cleanrot's has longest reach and most AR at lower dex levels. Estoc has the most AR at dex softcap 80. Antspur has a 'Scarlet Rot' status while being infusable.

Heavy Thrusting Sword - Dragon King's Cragblade Longest weapon in class, innate lightning damage, has very high dex req. (37). HTS in general is a dex-biased weapon class, any of the regular options are also good.

Curved Sword - Bandit's Curved Swords Only weapon in class with a clear dex bias. Shamshir and Scavenger's are also good options.

Curved Greatsword - Bloodhound's Fang Bloodhound Fang scales very well to dex and is obtainable early. Dismounter is longest in class and infusable, but is drop-only.

Katana - Uchigatana, Nagakiba All weapons in this class (except Meteoric Ore Blade) are dex focused. Nagakiba has the longest reach by a significant margin, Uchigatana has the most AR for both Keen and Lightning. In short; Uchi for damage over reach, Naga for reach over damage. The Hand of Malenia is also noticeable longer than other katanas but still falls short of the Nagakiba. It is also not infusable.

Halberd - Guardian's Swordspear Unusual in having mostly sweep and slash moves. Highest AR in class on Keen, the 'big numbers stick'. Its Lightning infusion is noticeably worse than Keen for some reason, also has high str req. (16) for a dex weapon. Remainder of the Halberds (beside Gargoyle and Nightrider) can all be built toward Dex. Here, Banished Knight's Halberd tends to be the jack-of-all trades in AR and moveset.

Spear - Cross Naginata, Bolt of Gransax Of the regular spears, Naginata has innate bleed and dex scaling bias. Unusual in having a slashing attack-chain by defqult. Being a spear, the min-max setup is to dual wield and ignore the 'core-moveset'. But if you already knew that, you dont need to read this post. Bolt of Gransax; unique weapon with exceptional range (2nd highest) and innate lightning damage. Has very high dex req. (40), scales VERY poorly with str despite having 20 str req.

Greatspear - Lance, Treespear Lance is the only regular weapon in class. Treespear scales very well to dex (physical damage only) and has innate holy damage, it also one of the rare buffable weapons with an innate element. Vyke's War Spear scales well to dex, but is mostly a status weapon for pvp, hence its AR is not generally a consideration.

Reaper - Scythe, Grave Scythe The Scythe has longer reach, dex bias on Keen and features a unique double heavy attack. Grave Scythe has more AR in all cases except 80 dex + Keen. However, it has higher str req. and weight. Worth noting; is that Grave Scythe is rare drop. While the Scythe is a guaranteed drop and can be found early.

Hammer - Monk's Flamemace A str biased class in general. Monk's is the only regular hammer with a dex bias, it is drop only. The default Hammer does not have any dex bias, but has great range and moveset. It is likely a better choice than the Monk's even for dex builds.

Greathammer - None A very str-biased class, no standouts for dex.

Axe - Forked Hatchet Only weapon in class with a dex bias. However, it makes a poor weapon due to low range and damage. A dex weapon by technicality not practicality.

Greataxe - Butchering Knife Only weapon in class with a dex bias, highest AR on Keen. However, Lightning infusion narrows the AR gap for many of the regular Greataxes. Worth noting, as the Butchering Knife has very short heavy attacks.

Colossal Weapons - Duelist Greataxe Class with overwhelming str bias. Both the regular Duelist Greataxe and Rotted variant are the only weapons in class with dex bias. However, they suffer from low AR and have a significant str req. Another "dex weapon by technicality".

Whips - Urumi Exceptional dex scaling, has unique charged heavy attack with great precision and reach. All other whips also have a dex bias (except Giant's Braid). Fists - Katar Only fist with piercing damage and a dex bias. Has slightly longer reach than most.

Claws - Raptor's Talons, Venomous Fang This is a status focused class. Raptor's is another case of a weapon that technically has a dex bias, but this does not make it a good weapon. Venomous Fang is the only infusable weapon with innate poison status, it also has very high base AR.

Twinblades - Godskin Peeler Weapon class predominantely used for statuses. Peeler has a dex-bias relative to other twinblades, it also features a distinct moveset.

STARTING CLASS

Vagabond - A favourite shell for PvP characters. While it may not seem like a dex starter, this class saves a ton on stats for defense. This allows one to start with general defensive base and build dex as you see fit. Most weapons also have some str req. so the base str is also rarely wasted.

Samurai - 2nd highest dex, while having a good spread of hp, endurance and str. Wastes no points for 'caster' stats, good option for full martial dex characters.

Prisoner - Exceptional dex and int, very low base faith. Great starter for that specific hybrid stat combination.

Warrior - Highest dex of all starter classes. That said, its often less efficient in the long run (vs. Vagabond/Samurai) due to having an unusual stat distribution (few use cases for having extra Mind + Int + Arc).

Bandit - High Dex + Arc. Similar to Warrior in being less effecient for pure dex due having odd 'spare stats'.

In short, Vagabond/Samurai will be your go-to for generalist dex characters. The remainders are options provided you have a specific dex hybrid in mind. When in doubt, use the Elden Ring build planner here.

Babysitting two toddlers, one of them just asked me the most controversial question I've ever heard.

"If Luke Skywalker and Captain America got into a fight, would Luke's lightsaber be able to cut through Cap's sheild?"

He's 4

[deaconskookyinsaneblog]

This guy...

He is a mutated version of a tsum tsum captain America. Really what I Invision a tsum would look like anthropomorphic.

History

He was a regular tsum tsum. He roamed around with other avengers tsums in a grassland area. Snatched from their habitats to be experimented on by a bunch of scientists (unrelated to the high evolutionary), him and the rest of his tsum freinds were mutated into ugly creatures. Not did it just mess up their physical appearance, but the tsums went insane, and they were released back into the wild.

Unfortunately, most of the batch of mutated tsums were killed by hunters, but this cap one survived. He eventually met the original Steve, and he brought the mutated tsum to the tower to help it.

at first, the other avengers were a bit weary about it, thinking of it as dangerous. They eventually warmed up to its presence.

Steve eventually started to give the mutated tsum therapy to help its insanity. The mutated tsum eventually was cured from insanity, and became a independent detective.

Now it goes by the name "Steeb".

Steeb is highly aware of his ugly appearance and doesnt like talking about it. He is fond of Steve, and is also freinds with the other avengers.

He eventually becomes a SHEILD agent, making him the first non-human agent at SHEILD.

[solardick]

They just deleted my post. Guess they dont like the truth about politics, symbols and brainwashing. And are anti-bible. Though they kept all my bs insanity and unhealthy blog ramblings of insanity.

Though on another note. That that this blog has gone persoanl

Again. Right as i het my post deleted as im wtyping about the letter X on the sun card and the russian symbols of war. Trying to usuro that place. To keep the motion of being bullied. I leave on that note. Step outside put on my ball cap. Toronto mapleleafs. And what doni see? A boy and girl playing ball. Boy with the bat girl with the glove. And then an emergency alarm goed off. An ambulance or cruiser. One of the two. The X on the suncard. And go shopping for some “healthy foods” and get eyed by a homely girl. Not beautiful. But not ugly. Onyl

A little bit. Shes getting turned on. Cuase im sexy. While shopping woth her boyfriend. Id tap that.

The X is a multifaceted symbol. Meaning no and yes. Usually tommy cause when ever the suncard is involved. Its a bad X. It’s treasure. Or treasure turn bad by bs? X marks the spot. If y’all a criminal.

So according to this experience Waites an asshole.

Think sje was lactose intolerate. She mentioned skemthign along those lines searching fir the item she couldnt find ont he shleves. She likes the fact that i alsompicked up some chocolat almond milk, roght beside.

She said hmm. And she’s right. Thats good stuff.

If Putin was an american he would have been assasinated by now like all americans get.

Something bothers me anout the sun card. And the X. Shouldnt it be the moon card instead?

The rising of the sheild hero? Hey look its my story in anime form. Gonlim slayer was awesome. Too. Is there goblins? No? Thrn i dont care.

Anyway the briliance of the lost post as turn to something dumb. Ugh.

Anyway to continue on.

И = and. В = in, on, at. Я = I, as in myself since the letter I capital on this type setting is obscure. A = and, but. An And with contrast. К = to, toward, by. У = at, by, near the subject. О = about; or as an English equivalent of Oh!” С = with, off, from, since.

? “Ok you want to see what i got.

Yoo nad you miss out on the best post ive ever was working on. Guess you inly get “12th house bs” cause its taurus. Choose better times luv. Instead of proving yourself right.

On accounted over-layering alphabets. Number 23. Outside the bounds of tarot, save for cyclic repetition. Is given letters Х and W. which is curious. Considering these are the letters for cards the moon and the sun. Х is akin to the sun card but here under the russian guise is closer to its english counterpart of letter H. Which classically is placed upon the lovers card. Curious how the sun card plays the image of a boy and a girl playing under the sun. To fallow symbolic layering. The english letter H, the lover(s) in russian is to the letter N. which is used as the strength card. Here classically shows the image of the feminine (moon) overpowering the sun. The lion. But here is given to the number 8. Letter Ж. A mirrored image of the letter K. As justice. And brought near the letter J as the chariot. Justice being blind. Cannot see its own reflection. And here number eight is brought in bounds to the tarot sequences as number 8 is given to justice. Or to waites strength as union or harmony. Which works in a way as justice is shown holding to seperate objects. Which being a number 1. And strenght shows the entanglement of the moon and the sun. But… waites lovers card. Shows the feminine overlayering the sword and the masculine overlayering the scales of balance. The angel in the sky above them serves as the negatikn dash connecting two 1s. Here there is no harmony. But a clash. An obstruction between them. The feminine and the serpent. And its reflection of the white horsemen and the spear killing the hell bound “masculine”. To fall inline with the letter Ф and the letter V. On number 22. Extinguishing the flames.

TemperaNce shows as the letter R and the russian letter Р. She’s pouring one vessel into another. Which is all good. Save that P in english is given to the hanged man. Temperance being a woman.

It would seem the purpose of the russian war supported by the latin alphebet by the americans serves a purpose of its putpetuayion for as long as possible. Considering the high general of the russian forces was given to a young man in his thirties suggests a long ongoing war that may last decades. This forces russian symbolism of its reformed alphabet on the peoples of the americas. Part of the dialogue. I was discussing in the last deleted post. Playing on the tussina war machine using alphabetical symbols foreign to their own alphabet. Letters Z, V, and letters O and X. As for the media sayign. Nations placimg a ban on displaying the letter Z. As a criminal offence. It not being a native letter of their own alphabet.

What if it was?

Co sidering the americas canada included are the nations of the moon and the russian/chinesse connection being the nations of the sun. Rising sun. As russia is still a baby considering its reformation from a dictatorial political state into a democracy that works very similarly to the united states.

Astologically speaking they would be a first quarter nation and the americas a second quarter nation. Producing a square. Of conflict.

Тоже доже, Доже тоже. Also god. God too.

Here in this post we find ingredients to be placed in the makings of another card. Russian is a very dificult language. But shows strong similarities to the latin alphabet used predominantly in the western sphere of life. It holds strong traces of english and french and various other languages that it absorbs into its culture. A conglomerate.

And thoughts of adding a hammer and a scythe into the script isn’t a gain of representing a dictatorial state. As has been pushed upon them in changing their flag. To the now red, white and blue. The same three colours of the american flag. But on the contrary, the hammer and scythe images binds the industrial to the agricultural. As well as duty and responsibility for active production for growth and sustainment. It also brings added associations to the court. And if the tower was to be modeled after a nail. Or an anvil. Shows other sognificant associations to the ise of a hammer. As well as the scythe to the empress card and the domain or Дом meaning the home. Personal responsibilty of relying on oneself, hard work discipline for survival and not solely relying on hand outs. As the tarot encourages. With its aces.

The first cloud portent ive ever recorded. Near 20 years ago. Was the russian image of the hammer amd the scythe, and a syringe, this preceding the actual start of the war with ukraine about rights and the survival of the self agaisnt what was lost to them. Thoigh i am not advocating any disposition of heresy or treason. Just the facts as ive learned them.

When the devil moves against you. God is there to let you know the truth. Its a factual statement to my experience. And if i wear a crucifix, it isn’t pro BS warped in the minds of the commoners. To the belief of ultimate suffering to the bringing out of an internal Jesus. I dont think anywhere in the bible does it say anything about suppressing feminine sexuality. Seems to me all it stated in the old testament. Is to stay true to ones higher self. To the conscience. For the second that line is crossed. A king dies. No leniency what so ever. Hard core militant christians. Sicken me. Those judgemental coksukrs. But im off topic an dbeing opinionated. And i dont hild to opinions. What o say today may differ from i say tomorow. Personaly. I find the hindues truer than the christian to the state of sanity, of good mental health.

As a canadian. I can say that flag. Is a matter of debate. A dead, dying, fallen leaf off a tree surrounded by red. Supposeldy representing the oceans. Of blood. Canada being named after a native village or hut or whatever. Isnt a far fetch from a tortured jesus on a stick and the down fall of the home. One cant say that death is a beautiful thing after ome tortured their entire family. And if that was the case then why has there been such complications when dealing with natibe american peoples? Not that far off in history. Where it becomes a criminal act to purchase from them to save on being taxed. Or as the war on marijuana, as a criminal offense while still being able to order from a magazine sold in most stores.

Ive never seen god’s eyes. But ive seen the devil’s. He lives here on earth, meddling with every level.

So, i hold no loyalty. Or trust in anything. Im a dying red leaf in perpetual fall. Because i know the snows are coming. And there nothing that can be done about it. And so i pray to the warmth of the sun. Whomever, and where ever she may be.

Or some bs like that.

Anyway, theres some truth hidden in there somewhere. Maybe you’ve already glimpsed it while reading. And while being born in hell, life is a waste of time. And im still the same person i was 30 years ago. Nothing in me as changed. Neither do i want it to. Because i know i am right. If i wasnt god wouldnt be there helping me. I did name my guitar jesus. As a teenager. Even though i couldnt never play it. I knew what ive done. And the family did nothing but torture me for decades. Killed my pets. Broke my eggs. Beat me up drug me up. … the list goes on. And after being abused by fags, and lowlives. And femmenists. And straights, they raped my psyche, called me a fag and gave me a desease. And to the nations atheists, to be loathed for believing in god. And even though one of the cloud portents showed me id die an old man. I have no faith in that i will.

I am not. A diviner i dont even dream. It could have meant anything. Or it could have already transpired. It does fit what already happened. Sleeping under the rising of the sun. I dont know. If i need meds for the rest of my life. Its quality is alreasy dirt poor.

Ugh. Again with the bs.

[ask-paradox-and-friends]

Muses I don't have a name for and am fully done.

If you want me to give me an idea or recommend an AU version of a muse here I'll do my best! Also thanks

@shadraxofficial for this idea.

The knight!

This knight is a experienced fighter and hunter with skills in monster killing. Due to his life style he's been scared a lot and isn't the most handsome.

Lives his life wandering dungeons defeating monsters and collecting bounties. But he's been horrifically hurt. So he keeps his helmet on at all times.

His armour which was once a well polished and perfectly cleaned plate armour is now covered in scratches and had to be repaired with monster bones dragons scales and is held together with leather straps made of manticore hide.

His helmet is dented with a huge indent from a club weilding orge. It's hard to take off now.

The face plate used to move up and down but it was burned by a venom Spitting dragon.

He lives by himself in a cabin in the woods on the outskirts of his kingdoms home.

He's been called by nicknames due to him having a 'hard' name to say. (His name is Irish and he lives in France) nicknames are as follows

Sir Hunter

The exterminator

Scavenger (was ment to be an insult)

Failed viking (all he said was 'I. Am. Irish. Welshman!')

Maiden's knight (called that as he was never one to turn down a woman in need. Also unlike other knights he wasn't crass or rude.)

The green one (no matter how damaged his armour is he'd always paint green sun's on his gear.)

He has a lot of altered and changed weapons.

An enchanted large slab of wood (a druid enchanted it after his sheild was eaten by a sea serpent of massive size. Durning the day, it grows healing herbs and mushrooms and is harder than any sheild durning the night it acts likes its made of Jade.

A spear set (his javelin broke in two so he took one half and sharpened the pointer bit. And put a metal cap on the other halves bottom)

He has had several swords, but he's broken so many he'd have someone melt them all down and remake a sword with them. The sword is a bright mixture of different grays and bronzes.

His prized weapon is a large green battle ax given to him by a friend of his. It's a bright emerald in color and described as very heavy.

He's been kicked out of five kingdoms for fighting the other knights for their attitudes and its resulted in him being known as 'The killer of Good knights' surprisingly they're all shing armour knights (wink. Wink.)

He's well liked by the poor and ostracized due to his duty to protect them due to being from a farming family.

He's hated by various knights due to turning down cortly love and not really understanding why various nobles try to use him a mercenary to attack defenseless people burning down villages. (They view that talk as him insulting their and their lords honor.)

He's prone to fits or rage if any use a tradgy against him. Due to him loosing his family to some crusading Templars working for a king.

He loathes a knight in golden armour due to his sinful nature and his traitorous rise to power. (Had an affair with the queen killed the king and half his court and then went to war with any who stood with the dead king.)

One of his only friend for a long time was a person he writes to. Somehow he got himself a suitor more specifically a woman demanding his hand. But due to them not meeting they talk through letters. He does know she's not a noble nor is she a farmer. She is someone he adores.

His other friend is his horse. His name is 'Lunk'

Noone knows if he died or not for a long time due to his last battle being against the golden knight and his court. He slayed 10 knights fought the GK nearly tore his armour open and cut his stomach and shoulder open with a peasant army stumbled backwards with both a broken javelin in his pec and a sword in his gut and falling off the edge of the castle.

His body wasn't found but a parade of fae,elves, and treenets along with sprites taking his body away. They noticed a woman wispher something into his ear and stuff a letter into his hand.

His horse his house and all his gear disappeared along with him.

To this day historians often wonder if he existed.
