Character Repository
always a work in progress
OCs:
High Fantasy
Vesiryn Othalon - Melise Jow | GoT/HotD | what makes a monster, a search for purpose, bite the hand, power is for those who take it
Ikora Veronys - Sherouk Farid | world design focused (think Elden ring, meets Dune, meets Star Wars, meets LotR) | Horror | the making of a god (Heavy trigger warnings for blood, gore, body horror, etc etc)
Sci-Fi
Kyrie Santos - Anya Chalotra | Star Wars | former Jedi, what makes a monster, ambivalence
Ailani Dagon - Adria Arjona | Star Wars | Jedi, blind loyalty, not all that is good is kind, sunshine through the clouds
Genevieve Pacheco - Imogen Poots | post apocalyptic/modern, high technological advancement, cryptid/gothic horror
Ezra Beo'rul - Archie Renaux | Dune/SW/GoT/HotD variability | smuggler, climb the ladder to survive, neutrality in action, cog in a wheel
Gothic Horror
Annora Cicarelli - Hande Ercel | blood witch, the mercy in death, finding gentility amidst the violence, no peace in revenge
Valendra Cicarelli - Eiza González | blood witch, desperation for power, blood red revenge, burn it to the ground
Psychological
Freya Caldwell - Jessica Chastain + Bryce Dallas Howard (Katherine McNamara for young Freya) | hired assassin/thief/smuggler, what's behind the mask, searching for purpose, I am only what the world has made of me
Violet Calhoun - Lily Collins | Missing persons mystery, southern gothic themes, glimpses into human interaction, where do we place our guilt?
Sage Williams - Liv Tyler (older alt. Anne Hathaway) | southern journalist, where does the drive take you? making a name for yourself, potential slight paranormal themes
Colette Moreau - Candice King | Historian/scientist/archeologist | Uncovering the truth, what you see is what you believe, skeptic
Canon: (divergence is inevitable)
Felicia Hardy - Minka Kelly + Katheryn Winnick (Younger: Chloe Robertson) | Marvel Comics | Heavily cannon divergent, flirtation as a means of power and control, femininity is power. **steers away from the sexism of the comics
The Red Cat - Rebecca Ferguson | Marvel comics | not much cannon to go by, so she's essentially an OC. Think Natasha Romanoff meets Felicia Hardy
Test Muses...
Santiago - Ben Daniels | Interview with the Vampire | canon divergent
Selina Kyle - Zoë Kravitz | Batman 2022 | likely canon divergent. Shares a lot of similar changes with Felicia Hardy (see above)
Anastasia Auron - Bridget Regan | Siren-human hybrid OC | tba
Kajia Moretti - Zoë Kravitz | OC | biker themes, loyalties divided
Yennefer of Vengerberg - Anya Chalotra | The Witcher | sorceress
Morena - TBA | The Witcher / High Fantasy OC | still a w.i.p
Enzo Bozelli - Logan Lerman | OC | still a w.i.p

(—) ★ spotted!! NICOLÁS 'NIC' MOREAU on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the 26 year old looks like TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET, but i don’t really see it. while the MODEL is known for being ARTICULATE my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be CARELESS i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song WORST CASE KID BY TOMMY LEFROY {he /him cisman}
𝑩𝑰𝑶𝑮𝑹𝑨𝑷𝑯𝒀
growing up on the outskirts of paris, nic was born as the only son in the moreau clan, moguls in the european luxury hotel industry . his father, henrie, was well into his fifties when nic was born and already on his third wife, to which nic was a surprise . his mother , colette , was more interested in her husband's name and the connections it could bring her than she was in raising her own son . thus , on the bitterly cold november morning in which nic was brought into the world , he was placed into the arms of his nanny rather than his mother .
later, he would be told that his parents were ‘ overjoyed ’ at his birth, but that tidbit was always confusing to him. he’d never once seen his parents display much emotion, nevertheless one that would be related to joy. his parents were cool and detached, certainly never ones for any sort of praise or physical affection.
most of his childhood followed the same trend : his parents were always absent , only calling on nic when his presence was mandatory for various events and functions . while they were not a constant force in his life , their expectations were still high for their son . he was provided the best tutors , the best boarding school educations and any resource he could possibly need to make his parents proud .
he was able to live up to his parents' expectations for the most part . . . he made decent grades and was well - liked among his peers . it was clear from the start that his father wanted him to inherit the company , something nic was always indifferent about . it was always odd , being born into a world where his future was already decided for him before his first breath .
he started his modeling career when he was seventeen , after the photographer who shot his family's christmas card recommended him for a ralph lauren shoot happening later that month . despite his mother's previous work in the modeling industry , it was nothing that nic had ever considered doing for a living . however, he ended up going to the shoot and hasn't looked back since . soon enough , he was getting booked for paris fashion week, and he kept booking audition after audition .
it's not like nic is necessarily passionate about modeling, it's mostly just something to pass the time and get his father off his back . he decided to move , or as his parents claim --- ran away to california two years ago . in a way, he did run away , if only from his responsibilities . now that his main source of income isn't from his parents , he has no interest in returning home anytime soon .
he presents as a little spoiled, but that's where nic claims most of his charm originates from. he always sports a coy smile, paired with a cigarette hanging from his lips . he rents a house in manhattan beach , which he is rarely in due to his hectic , travel schedule .
nic is often restless , constantly looking for something to do and for new people to meet . no matter where he is , he parties quite a bit and is often out until the early hours of the morning . in terms of his relationships , he's never been one to seriously commit to anyone out of fear that his family would be enough to scare anyone away. thus , he keeps most at a distance .
𝑾𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑫 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑵𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺
close friends
modeling friends / party friends
roommate ( open for one - two people ! )
exes of any sort
a toxic type relationship where they know they aren't good for each other but they still hang around each other because they just can't stay away
i would love a soft slow burn for my boy ... maybe someone who's currently a friend but they both sense there could be something more there ... it would just take a little time ( and trust ! ) to get there

Resident Evil Revised TV Series Idea.
The show should be told American Horror Story like meaning its gonna be anthology-ish based with stories bouncing back with returning characters.
Season 1’s cast is Jessica Henwick as Jill Valentine, Kellan Lutz or Sebastian Stan as Chris Redfield, Antony Starr as Albert Wesker, David Harbour as Barry Burton, Charlie Hunam as Richard Aiken, Jack Quad as Brad Vickers and Erin Moriarty as Rebecca Chambers.
Season 1 is an adaptation of RE1 taking creative liberties from the remake and original. The one difference is that Brad’s helicopter is hit by crows leading him to nearly crash and fly away, this results in a subplot of Brad returning to HQ and finds dirt on Irons before returning.
Season 2 has a different set of characters and a bigger budget with Hailee Steinfeld as Claire Redfield, Mason Dye as Leon S. Kennedy, Sadie Sink as Sherry Birkin, Elizabeth Olsen or Laurie Holden as Annette Birkin, Karen Fukuhara as Ada Wong, Temura Morrison as HUNK and Jason Issacs or Paul Bethany as William Birkin. Takes influence from the RE2 Remake.
Season 3 is an adaptation of RE3 Nemesis mixed with the remake. Jill is the same, Oscar Isaac plays Carlos Oliveira, Jonathan Adams as Tyrell Patrick, Tom Wlaschiha as Mikhail, and Michael Fassbender as Nicholai Zinoviev.
Season 4 adapts a story from the Umbrella Chronicles which is the fall of Umbrella and also Code Veronica Jamie Campbell as Alfred Ashford and Natalie Dormer as Alexia Ashford. Also Tye Simpkins as Steve Burnside.
Season 5 adapts the story of Leon and Krauser (John Cena or Frank Grillo) with Jenny Ortega as Manuela Hidalgo.
Season 6 is an adaptation of Resident Evil 4 with Mason Dye reprising his role as Leon and Cena or Grillo as Krauser alongside Fukuhara as Ada while newcomers Ashley Graham and Luis Sera are played by Natalia Dyer and Diego Luna with Javier Bardem as Saddler. A couple of unknowns for Mendez and Salazar.
Season 7 adapts Resident Evil Revelations with Jason Momoa as Parker Luciani, Kit Harrington as Raymond Vester and Alexandra Daddario as Jessica Sherawat.
Season 8 is an adaptation of RE5 but it’s more in line with the original draft albeit the mind controlled Jill part is there. Danai Guerera is Sheva Alomar, Daniel Kaluuya as Josh Stone, Jesse Plemons as Richardo Irving and Monica Belucci as Excella Gionne.
Season 9 adapts Resident Evil 6 with most of the cast returning and a better written Jake Muller played by Wyatt Russell and has been reimagined as a BSAA soldier instead of a mercenary who teams up with Sherry Birkin played by Billie Lourde with Liam Hemsworth playing Piers Nivans and Jill tagging along. Also Simmons is changed from instead of being a member of a secret society, he was just trying to cause global bio terror attacks to promote the his own agendas of a better secured world with Carla Radames being a rogue operative and an ally of Ada’s. Temura Morrison returns as HUNK and is Ada’s partner.
Season 10 is Resident Evil Revelations 2 with Emily VanCamp as Alex Wesker with Harbour reprising his role as Barry Burton, Millie Bobby Brown as Moira Burton, and an unknown actress for Natalia. Steinfeld returns as Claire too.
Season 11 adapted Resident Evil 7 fully with Joe Keery or Chris Hemsworth as Ethan Winters (to make the plot sound more sensical, Ethan is a private investigator and a former RPD cop), Emilia Clarke is Mia Winters, Michael Rooker is Jack Baker, Toni Colette as Marguerite Baker, Rooney Mara as Zoe Baker and Aaron Paul as Lucas Baker with Stan returning as Chris.
Season 12 is an RE8 adaptation with Cate Blanchett or Gwendolie Christie as Lady Dimitrescu (CGI), Eva Greene as Donna Beneviento, Nicholas Cage as Karl Heisenberg, Stellan Skarsgard as Salvatore Moreau, and Emily Blunt as Mother Miranda. Hound Wolf squad consists of Jill, Chris, Barry and Rebecca.

François Roland Truffaut was born on February 6, 1932. He was a French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of the French New Wave. In a career lasting over a quarter of a century, he remains an icon of the French film industry, having worked on over 25 films. Truffaut's film The 400 Blows is a defining film of the French New Wave movement, and has four sequels, Antoine et Colette, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, and Love on the Run, between 1958 and 1979.
Truffaut's 1973 film Day for Night earned him critical acclaim and several accolades, including the BAFTA Award for Best Film and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. His other notable films include Shoot the Piano Player (1960), Jules and Jim (1961), The Soft Skin (1964), The Wild Child (1970), Two English Girls (1971), The Last Metro (1980), and The Woman Next Door (1981).
Truffaut also wrote the notable book Hitchcock/Truffaut (1966) which detailed his interviews with film director Alfred Hitchcock during the 1960s. Truffaut expressed his admiration for filmmakers such as Luis Buñuel, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson, Roberto Rossellini, and Alfred Hitchcock.
On Jean Renoir, he said: "I think Renoir is the only filmmaker who's practically infallible, who has never made a mistake on film. And I think if he never made mistakes, it's because he always found solutions based on simplicity—human solutions. He's one film director who never pretended. He never tried to have a style, and if you know his work—which is very comprehensive, since he dealt with all sorts of subjects—when you get stuck, especially as a young filmmaker, you can think of how Renoir would have handled the situation, and you generally find a solution".
Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, his colleague from Cahiers de Cinema, worked together closely during their start as film directors although they had different working methods. Tensions came to the surface after May 68: Godard wanted a more political, specifically Marxist cinema, Truffaut was critical of creating films for primarily political purposes. In 1973, Godard accused Truffaut of making a movie that was a "lie" (Day For Night), and Truffaut replied with a 20-page letter in which he accused Godard of being a radical-chic hypocrite, a man who believed everyone to be "equal" in theory only. "The Ursula Andress of militancy—like Brando—a piece of shit on a pedestal." The two never spoke or saw each other again. But Godard tried to reconcile with Truffaut later on, and after his death wrote the introduction to a collection of his letters and a long tribute in his film Histoire(s) du cinéma.
Truffaut was married to Madeleine Morgenstern from 1957 to 1965, and they had two daughters, Laura (born 1959) and Eva (born 1961). Madeleine was the daughter of Ignace Morgenstern, managing director of one of France's largest film distribution companies, and was largely responsible for securing funding for Truffaut's first films.
Truffaut was an inveterate womanizer and had affairs with many of his leading ladies, including Marie-France Pisier (Antoine and Colette, Love on the Run), Jeanne Moreau (Jules and Jim, The Bride Wore Black), Françoise Dorléac (The Soft Skin), Julie Christie (Fahrenheit 451), Catherine Deneuve (Mississippi Mermaid, The Last Metro), and Jacqueline Bisset (Day for Night). Truffaut also fell for Isabelle Adjani during the filming of The Story of Adele H. but his advances were rebuffed.
In 1968 Truffaut was engaged to actress Claude Jade (Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, Love on the Run); he and Fanny Ardant (The Woman Next Door, Confidentially Yours) lived together from 1981 to 1984 and had a daughter, Joséphine Truffaut (born 28 September 1983).
Truffaut was an atheist, but had great respect for the Catholic Church and requested a mass for his funeral.
In July 1983, Truffaut rented France Gall's and Michel Berger's house outside Honfleur, Normandy (composing for Philippe Labro's film Rive droite, rive gauche) when he had his first stroke and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He was expected to attend his friend Miloš Forman's Amadeus premiere when he died on 21 October 1984, aged 52, at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine in France.
At the time of his death, he had numerous films in preparation. He had intended to make 30 films and then retire to write books for the remainder of his life. He was five films short of that aim. He is buried in Montmartre Cemetery.

Análisis de Los Cuatrocientos Golpes (1959)
Les quatre cents coups (The 400 Blows), mejor conocida como ‘‘Los cuatrocientos golpes’’, es un film de 1959, perteneciente al movimiento Nouvelle Vague. Dirigida por François Truffaut, uno de los mejores cineastas del cine francés. Cuenta la historia de la adolescencia incomprendida de Antoine Doinel y su comportamiento rebelde hacia su familia y, sus profesores, el personaje celebre de Doinel es interpretado por Jean Pierre Leaud.
El film recibió la Palma de Oro como Mejor Director para François Truffaut y una nominación al Óscar al Mejor Guión Original. Con el paso de los años se ha convertido en uno de ‘‘los mejores filmes realizados de todos los tiempos en la posición #39’’, por la revista británica Sight & Sound (BFI, 2014).
Aspectos cinematográficos:
Los 400 Golpes, de la visión de su director François Truffaut fue realizar un filme que representase la idea de ser joven adolescente, y que lo motiva a ser rebelde en una sociedad. Una critica total al sistema francés cuando los jóvenes cometían un crimen en 1959.
Es un film hecho al corazón y ‘‘en dedicatoría a André Bazin, el influyente critico de cine francés quien acogió a un Truffaut sin carácter bajo su brazo en un tiempo, cuando el joven director se encontraba en la línea delgada entre la vida como cineasta y los problemas de su vida personal’’. (Ebert, 1999).
El cine de la Nouvelle Vague se convierte en Literatura, ‘‘la caméra-stylo (la camara - el lapicero) y el guión (el modo en el que va a ser la historia)’’. (Insdorf, 2014).
El uso de la improvisación de parte de los actores añade un realismo a la escena, a comparación de las películas de Hollywood en la década de los 40 y 50. Esta es una característica que se puede observar en las películas de cine independiente europeas a comparación de los otros países. Energía cruda y profunda.
La comedia humana fue uno de los libros que más impulso a tener una definición absoluta en el trabajo de Truffaut y sus innovaciones. (Preminger, 2007).
Análisis de Planos:
Truffaut a menudo se vale del travelling y de los planos generales para enseñarnos las calles de París en las continuas escapadas de Antoine, todo ello, acompañado de la música de Jean Constantin que hacen que estos planos sean algo bastante ameno.
Otro elemento que destaca muy bien el sentimiento del personaje son los primeros planos de Antoine cuando está en la policía y cuando está siendo llevado al correccional, en ellos se puede ver tanto el miedo como la incertidumbre del joven por saber cómo saldrá todo al final.
Al ser rodada en escenarios naturales y no tener un alto presupuesto, no se puede decir que las imágenes de la película sean lo más destacable, pero sin duda alguna, si que nos dan a conocer bien como son los personajes y su entorno.
Contexto sociohistórico:
Este largometraje forma parte del movimiento fílmico francés Nouvelle Vague, el cual buscaba romper con estructura que tenia el cine francés para la década de 1950 y con esto abrir las puertas a la libertad de expresión creativa y técnica en el campo de la producción fílmica.
Otro aspecto que se debe destacar dentro de la vista histórica de este film es que el las temáticas dramáticas de la película están influencias por la vida personal del director de la misma François Truffaut, quien se enfrento a numerosas adversidades durante su vida como el no haber conocido a su padre y la falta de interés por parte de su madre, lo cual se ve reflejado en la elaboración de los personajes de sus films.

Constance-Caroline Lefebvre, sometimes spelled Lefèvre, (born 21 December 1828 in Paris, France; died 1905) was a French opera singer described as a mezzo-soprano and as a soprano. She started her career in 1849 and performed until her retirement in 1866, mostly playing "dugazon" roles. She married her stage partner, famous baritone and composer Jean-Baptiste Faure, in 1859.Lefebvre's early education took place in the Conservatoire de Paris under the guidance of David Banderali for her voice training and Théodore-François Moreau-Sainti for her opéra comique training, both in which she would win first prizes. Lefebvre debuted at the Opéra-Comique on 12 October 1849 as Carlo Broschi in La part du diable by Daniel Auber.[1] Her following roles were often labeled as mezzo-soprano "dugazon" roles, including Le Toréador et Le Postillon de Lonjumeau by Adolphe Adam (Madeleine); Joconde and Jeannot et Colin by Nicolas Isouard (Jeannette); Joseph en Égypte by Étienne Méhul (Benjamin); Le Pré-aux-clercs by Ferdinand Hérold (Isabelle); Le Petit Chaperon rouge by François-Adrien Boieldieu (Rose d'amour); L'Épreuve villageoise (Denise) by André Grétry; Fra Diavolo (Zerline), La Sirène and Haydée by Daniel Auber; and especially Fromental Halévy's operas, Les Mousquetaires de la reine (Berthe de Simiane), La Dame de pique, Le Val d'Andorre, and La Fée aux roses.Throughout the 1850s, Lefebvre's career was marked by the creation of many roles. In 1850, she created Palomita in La Chanteuse voilée by Victor Massé and another role in Les Porcherons by Albert Grisar; in 1852, she created La Croix de Marie by Louis-Aimé Maillard and Madelon by François Bazin, followed by the titular role in Colette by Justin Cadaux in 1853. In 1854, she created Prascovia in L'Étoile du Nord by Giacomo Meyerbeer and then Massé's Miss Fauvette, Grisar's Le Chien du jardinier, and Rosette in Adam's Le Housard de Berchini in 1855. She created three roles in operas by Ambroise Thomas: Le Songe d'une nuit d'été in 1850, Stella in Raymond ou le Secret de la reine in 1851, and Psyché in 1857.

closed starter for colette ( @rresilicnt ).
magic came with practice and any witch knew this. mateo often let himself fall short in the category in favor of feeding on witches and not stealing their power like a siphon would, but using it for fuel. blood, for his type of hybrid, seemed almost more important than practice. he’d been practicing alone on the boardwalk when the cursed object in his hand shattered. he sighed and knelt down to attempt to sift through the pieces. he knew he couldn’t fix it now. however, it was forgotten about when he heard soft footsteps from a few yards away. it was dark and he was in no mood for strange visitors. mateo stood again. “ show yourself or i attack, “ he laid out plainly, unsure whether or not their intention was hiding or if he had simply been engrossed, but he couldn’t smell them with the water so nearby.

Manifeste des 343
Le manifeste des 343, est une pétition française parue le 5 avril 1971 dans le no 334 du magazine Le Nouvel Observateur. C'est, selon le titre paru en une du magazine, « la liste des 343 Françaises qui ont le courage de signer le manifeste “Je me suis fait avorter” », s'exposant ainsi à l'époque à des poursuites pénales pouvant aller jusqu'à l'emprisonnement, car l'avortement en France était illégal à l'époque.
C'est un appel pour la dépénalisation et la légalisation de l'interruption volontaire de grossesse qui ouvre la voie à l'adoption de la loi Veil.
Le texte
Le manifeste, rédigé par Simone de Beauvoir, commence par ces phrases :
« Un million de femmes se font avorter chaque année en France.
Elles le font dans des conditions dangereuses en raison de la clandestinité à laquelle elles sont condamnées, alors que cette opération, pratiquée sous contrôle médical, est des plus simples. On fait le silence sur ces millions de femmes. Je déclare que je suis l'une d'elles. Je déclare avoir avorté.
Suivent les 343 signatures de célébrités, notamment celles de personnalités telles que Catherine Arditi, Françoise Arnoul, Florence Asie, Brigitte Auber, Stéphane Audran, Colette Audry, Tina Aumont, Hélène de Beauvoir, Simone de Beauvoir, Cathy Bernheim, Valérie Boisgel, Olga Bost, Claudine Chonez, Iris Clert, Marie Dedieu, Lise Deharme, Christine Delphy, Catherine Deneuve, Dominique Desanti, Marguerite Duras, Françoise d'Eaubonne, Françoise Fabian, Brigitte Fontaine, Antoinette Fouque, Luce Garcia-Ville, Claude Génia, Françoise de Gruson, Gisèle Halimi, Katia Kaupp, Bernadette Lafont, Danièle Lebrun, Annie Leclerc, Violette Leduc, Marceline Loridan, Judith Magre, Michèle Manceaux, Geneviève Mnich, Ariane Mnouchkine, Claudine Monteil, Jeanne Moreau, Michèle Moretti, Liane Mozère, Nicole Muchnik, Bulle Ogier, Marie Pillet, Marie-France Pisier, Micheline Presle, Marthe Robert, Christiane Rochefort, Yvette Roudy, Françoise Sagan, Delphine Seyrig, Alexandra Stewart, Gaby Sylvia, Nadine Trintignant, Irène Tunc, Agnès Varda, Catherine Varlin, Ursula Vian-Kübler, Marina Vlady, Anne Wiazemsky, Monique Wittig.
Une note en bas de page indique que « parmi les signataires, des militantes du “Mouvement de Libération des Femmes” réclament l'avortement libre et GRATUIT ».
L'idée a été lancée par Jean Moreau, chef du service documentation du Nouvel Observateur lors d'une discussion animée avec la journaliste Nicole Muchnik un soir de juin 1970 dans la salle de rédaction du quotidien, et Simone Iff, alors vice-présidente du planning familial, s'est fortement mobilisée à titre personnel pour obtenir un maximum de signatures de célébrités.
L'article français est un exemple notable de désobéissance civile en France. Aucune des signataires n'est poursuivie. Il a inspiré en 1973 un manifeste de 331 médecins se déclarant pour la liberté de l'avortement.

****************
Manifesto of the 343
The Manifesto of the 343 (French: manifeste des 343), also known as the Manifesto of the 343 Sluts, was a declaration that was signed by 343 women advocating for reproductive rights and admitting to having had an abortion when abortions were illegal in France, thereby exposing themselves to criminal prosecution. The manifesto appeared in the French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur on April 5, 1971. It was also known in an alternate English translation of the word "salopes" as the "Manifesto of the 343 Bitches".
The text
The text of the manifesto was written by Simone de Beauvoir. It began (as translated into English):
One million women in France have abortions every year. Condemned to secrecy, they do so in dangerous conditions, while under medical supervision, this is one of the simplest procedures. Society is silencing these millions of women. I declare that I am one of them. I declare that I have had an abortion. Just as we demand free access to contraception, we demand the freedom to have an abortion for free.
Impact
The week after the manifesto appeared, the front page of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo carried a drawing attacking male politicians with the question "Qui a engrossé les 343 salopes du manifeste sur l'avortement?". ("Who got the 343 sluts from the abortion manifesto pregnant?") This drawing by Cabu gave the manifesto its nickname.
It was the inspiration for a February 3, 1973, manifesto by 331 doctors declaring their support for abortion rights:
We want freedom of abortion. It is entirely the woman's decision. We reject any entity that forces her to defend herself, perpetuates an atmosphere of guilt, and allows underground abortions to persist ....
It contributed above all to the adoption, in December 1974-January 1975, of the "Veil law", named for Health Minister Simone Veil, that repealed the penalty for voluntarily terminating a pregnancy during the first ten weeks (later extended to twelve weeks).

Imagine during the credits of Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City is that you can hear someone elderly humming Go To Tell Aunt Rhodey. Cue the sequel being called Resident Evil: Dulvey with Adam Driver as Ethan Winters, Michael Rooker or Woody Harrelson as Jack Baker, Aaron Paul as Lucas Baker, Toni Colette as Magaruite Baker, and maybe Natalie Dormer as Mia Winters.
Also to make the plot of RE7 a little bit more logical, maybe Ethan’s car breaks down or he hits a molded on the road resulting in him heading into the woods to find some help. Now imagine this also sets up a Resident Evil Village live action movie with Cate Blanchett as Lady Dimitrescu, Oscar Issac as Karl Heisenberg, Emilia Clarke as Donna Beneviento, and Stellan Skarsgard as Salvatore Moreau.
