Nocturnal - You Are My World.

Harmony ran as fast as she could through the forest. Her giant paws left footprints on the forest ground, but she gave it no mind.

Behind her a golden-brown wolf chases behind her, and the enormous wolf was hot on her tail.

The wolves ran through the forest ground, and branches, and jumped over logs.

They stopped at a pond.

Harmony shifted first, she popped her bones and stretched. She waited until her soulmate was finished.

Once Lucas transformed, she turned around to look at him.

His ocean eyes took in her full appearance, and he liked what he saw.

He walked close and looked down at her, Harmony closed her eyes and felt her cheeks warming.

She opened them to see Lucas' face was close to hers. “ Can I kiss you?” he asked.

Harmony nodded.

Lucas grabbed her chin tilted her head and leaned down to capture her lips with his.

Harmony felt all types of emotions.

He grabbed her and lifted her so she could wrap her legs around his waist. This way, the kiss could be more open, deeper, and more passionate.

Lucas and Harmony's lips moved in sync as their feelings were strong and seen through the kiss.

They both pulled away and gazed into each other's eyes.

Wow, this feeling was new and they never felt this before.

Their eyes seemed to say what they wanted to say out loud.

‘ I love you ’

Harmony was the first to pull away, she got down as Lucas smiled and grabbed her hand.

“ Harmony, would you like to be my girlfriend?”.

Heart shone in Harmony's eyes as she beamed at him.

“ Yes, I would love to”.

Lucas excited, crashed lips against hers as she happily kissed back.

They felt at home.

And that's where they were.

Home.

History

Home to ancient empires dating back to the waning centuries of the first millennium BC, Ethiopia has a storied history driven by the rule of great kings and emperors. Bootstrap parallax template. As one of the few African nations to avoid the colonial ambitions of Europe, Ethiopia maintained its sovereignty into the 21st century, only briefly coming under Italian occupation for 8 years during WWII and its prelude.

004. canon list

While most of the characters on Vexus are going to be completely original, we’ve decided to give small outlines on some of the more plot-driven figures in our setting. For example, all nine of the council representatives are open to play, as well as some of the more formative members of the criminal underground in Axis and Aurora. Surnames are non-changeable, and an asterick denotes a poc character, which also cannot be changed. 

– ZELLER, 40+, NOVA’S COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE

Put on the map by their long-standing involvement with Vexus’ sole banking corporation, ZELLER worked their way into the heart of the public through years of public service and consistency. A true servant to the people of Nova, ZELLER has dedicated most of their time on the council to bettering the district by any means necessary. Despite their success elsewhere, ZELLER is not particularly popular with the people of Axis and has been critiqued often for their lack of care when dealing with decisions that might affect the working class.

ZELLER may have one or two advisors that may also be considered canons. 

– MOON, 30-35, AURORA’S COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE, TAKEN

MOON’s position on city council is, in some ways, just another part of their assumption of their father’s duties as head of Moon Media. Having grown up in and around the spotlight, MOON knows how to appeal to a crowd-- charming their way both onto the council and throughout Vexus’ living rooms. Behind their exuberant exterior, their interests lie heavily in protecting their family’s legacy and business, and they can be ruthless towards this end. While this self-protecting streak can put them at odds with other members of the council, their ability to spin any story for their constituents’ favor is a boon for them and their allies alike.

MOON may have one or two advisors that may also be considered canons. 

MOON SR. may also be considered a canon.

HADRIAN GLASS, 34, AXIS’S COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE AND THE LEADER OF THE KINGS GANG, TAKEN

GLASS owns the Crown Casino, which he uses as a front for the King’s weapon-dealing operations. Due to a recent surge in popularity around Axis after becoming a benefactor to improving the the living situations across the district, he has earned the vote of being the district representative. It may, in part, have to do with representing Axis as an underdog story himself. Naturally, his reliability as a council member has been under fire by the rest of the council since he showed up, due to allegations of his involvement with the Kings-- although his political snares and a general lack of evidence has granted him a temporary immunity to prosecution. He’s made plenty of enemies, both within the other gangs and across the council. Quick-witted, calculated, and sardonic, much of how he got where he did was the result of his charisma. There will be a subplot featuring more details on the Reapers, the Kings, the Skinners, and GLASS’ involvement with them.

 the inner-circle of the kings gang may also be considered canons. (0/3) 

ALEX SULLIVAN, 32, HEAD OF THE CITY GUARD, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE, TAKEN

Having served active duty on the city guard for over thirteen years, SULLIVAN became an ideal candidate for the position of military representative the moment her predecessor announced his plans for retirement. As Vexus’ military head, she is in charge of organizing and coordinating city guard attacks on creatures that have targeted the city, both inside and out. Despite the impressive number of assignments she’s directed successfully while in her position, SULLIVAN is very no-nonsense and has very little patience for politics beyond her division, putting a strain on her relationships with some of the other members of the council. However, due to Vexus’ need for protection, SULLIVAN’S position grants her a decent amount of immunity from intense scrutiny. 

the leaders of specific divisions in Vexus’ military (such as weapons development, etc) may also be considered canons.

— SILVA *, 30-40, HEAD OF CIVIL LAW, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE

Overseeing the city's staff of prosecutors in all matters of criminal offences against the city, SILVA holds a position similar to a state's District Attorney.  It is their duty to ensure that all cases are fair, honest, and conducted with the utmost efficiency.  Due to SILVA’S  recent rise to the position, they’ve remained generally unbiased in regards to already-existing conflicts within government and have not yet developed ties many binding ties with the other representatives.

SILVA may have one advisor that may also be considered a canon. 

— CARMICHAEL, 50+, HEAD OF UNION REPRESENTATION, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE

In spite of their frequently-voiced distaste for any and all government matters, CARMICHAEL has served on the city council for nearly a decade. While their apparent lack of enthusiasm can frequently exacerbate tensions among council members, the city depends on them to maintain a civil relationship with the everyday workers whose interests they stalwartly represent. Among those workers, CARMICHAEL remains in high regard, admired for their to-the-point, no-nonsense approach to their position.

CARMICHAEL may have one advisor that may also be considered a canon.

— GUPTA *, 30-35, HEAD OF NATURE REPRESENTATION, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE

Though relatively young among council members, GUPTA has established their place among their colleagues as a discerning voice for the ecological concerns of the city. As the Nature and Science Representative, they work tirelessly towards the conservation of flora, fauna, and fresh air and water for Vexus’ self-sustainability. They are especially called upon by the council to maintain the tree-powered ventilation system that the city depends upon for fresh air, given Vexus’ altogether isolation from the outside world. Their cavalier attitude towards the well-being of the city’s people has been known to vex their peers, but their scientific contributions cannot be denied.

GUPTA may have one advisor that may also be considered a canon.

— MONTGOMERY, 40+, HEAD OF MONTGOMERY POWER, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE 

MONTGOMERY controls not only the power that fuels the entire city, but also guarantee that the city’s electrified barrier is kept fully powered at all times.  While first elected to the council they were genuinely dedicated to the city’s best interests, in recent years, they’ve made deals and alliances with some of the more unsavory organizations of Axis. They’ve taken to leaving sections of the barrier open to allow dealers to enter the forest and return with black market items, but with the entire grid under their watchful eye, there’s nobody outside to take notice or action against their decisions.

MONTGOMERY may have one advisor that may also be considered a canon.

— AVIAN, 30-40, HEAD OF AVIAN CYBERNETICS AND RESEARCH, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE

As one of the most notorious names in Vexus, AVIAN, as a company, represents a large portion of the medical world's advancements within the last several decades. The company's CEO focuses primarily on Cybernetic advancements and synthetic organ implants these days, bringing their company into the homes of both the young and old. Avian Cybernetics has had a long-standing relationship with the city guard and provides any medical enhancements necessary to keep them in working order. In turn for the work they do for the city guards, Avian Cybernetics is given free reign to experiment within the patients of the city's quarantine center -- all at the expense of finding a cure, of course. Who will remember a few dead soldiers in the grand scheme of things?

AVIAN may have one advisor that may also be considered a canon.

— LYNCH, 30-40, LEADER OF THE SKINNERS GANG

LYNCH, a once highly esteemed surgeon in Nova, now runs one of Vexus’ most notorious crime syndicates and street gangs, the Skinners. The exact details of what got them blacklisted from the medical community are largely unknown, but they’ve since put their medical skills and knowledge of the human body to good use. The Skinners run out of the Sprawl and have the largest say over the illegal dealings that go on in Axis’ black market  -- their specialty, however, is in illegal cybernetics dealings. Beyond their knowledge in all things synthetic and prosthetic, LYNCH is known for being charming but calculating, rubbing elbows with the Kings leader, GLASS, for their ties to the council and Crowns Casino cash flow. There will be a subplot featuring more details on the Reapers, the Kings, the Skinners,and LYNCH’S involvement with them.

the inner-circle of the skinners gang may also be considered canons. (0/3) 

— GATZ, 30-40, CO-LEADER OF THE REAPERS GANG

— GATZ, 30-40 (YOUNGER SIBLING), CO-LEADER OF THE REAPERS GANG

The Reapers have always been run on one core principal: loyalty. The crime ring has been in the Gatz family for as long as anyone can remember, making it one of the oldest gangs in Vexus. When Sunny Gatz passed 10 years ago, his two children took over as the heads of the gang. Due to natural childhood dynamics, the eldest of the two took to running the portion of the gang situated in Aurora, and the youngest was settled with overseeing the actual drug-manufacturing in the Concrete Quarter of Axis. Tensions have always run deep between these two, but since the Reapers have begun to isolate themselves from the Skinners and the Kings, the balance of power between these two is more delicate than ever.  There will be a subplot featuring more details on the Reapers, the Kings, the Skinners, and the GATZ’S involvement with them.

the inner-circle of the reapers gang may also be considered canons. (0/5)

Images reveal how Operation Market Garden fell apart 75 years ago

It was summer, 1944, and fresh off the beaches of Normandy the Allies were looking for a way to bring the Second World War in Europe to an end as quickly as possible. 

Enter British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery who devised an audacious plan to open up an invasion route into Germany via the Netherlands by capturing nine key bridges spanning the Rhine.

The operation, code named Market Garden but known colloquially as Monty’s Plan, was launched in September 1944 with the aim of bringing the war to a close by Christmas.

While it was initially successful and led to the liberation of Eindhoven and Nijmegen, it ran into stiff resistance as the Allies tried to cross the bridge in Arnhem, and ultimately ended in defeat.

In total 1,400 troops were killed, another 6,000 were captured, and just 2,400 crossed the Rhine in rubber boats, leading to the mission being dubbed ‘a bridge too far’.

Here, photographs complied by historian Anthony Tucker-Jones, show how the Allies’ plan came undone and the Germans showed, despite their defeat on D-Day, that they were still a force to be reckoned with. 

Tucker-Jones’s new book, The Battle For Arnhem 1944-1945: Rare photographs from the wartime archives, is available on Amazon 

Operation Market Garden was devised by British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and consisted of two parts – Operation Market, which called for the largest invasion by paratroopers ever devised (left) and Operation Garden, a corresponding land invasion by British forces along a stretch of road known as Hell’s Highway (right). The plan was to open up an invasion route into Germany’s Rhur industrial heartland which it was hoped would bring the war to a close by Christmas 1944

Following the deployment of paratroopers at Normandy, where they succeeded in capturing several key objectives despite many of them missing their drop zones, Operation Market called for a much larger deployment. While 13,000 landed at Normandy, 41,000 would be flown into Netherlands for the new operation and would be tasked with capturing nine key bridges before British troops moved up in support

While the operation called for the capture of nine bridges, the key objective was this bridge at Arnhem which would allow the Allies to cross on to the northern bank of the Rhine, giving them a clear invasion route into Germany. While the Allies believed the speed of their assault would catch the Germans unaware as they reeled from defeat at Normandy, in fact the bridge was well defended by heavily armed and organised troops

Unlike Normandy, where airborne troops suffered heavy losses and were scattered as far as 12 miles from their intended drop zones, early resistance to Operation Market was light – 89 per cent of troops landed within 1,000m of their drop zone while 84 per cent of gliders landed within the same boundary. Not all were successful, however, and pictured are men of the 506th Parachute Infantry inspecting the wreckage of two Hadrian gliders

The operation initially met with success and led to the liberation of Eindhoven and Nijmegen. Four out of the nine target bridges were captured, with one destroyed by the Germans as Allied troops advanced. British troops also made it into Arnhem (pictured) and one British battalion, led by Colonel John Frost, even made it across the bridge, but soon found himself cut off and facing a strong German counter-attack 

The main advantage of Montgomery’s plan – that it be carried out quickly so as to prevent the Germans recovering after Normandy – was also its downfall. While the Allies were not expecting a pushover in the Netherlands, they also failed to anticipate how well the Germans defended their positions. Pictured, British paratroopers make their way through destroyed buildings in the Netherlands

While devising his plan Montgomery ignored key intelligence gathered by the Dutch resistance which reported heavily armed German defenders around the bridge that were well reinforced. Allied troops quickly found themselves outgunned and surrounded by the enemy, with little scope for reinforcement. Pictured, American troops fire on Nazi positions using field guns during Market Garden

Facing heavier-than-expected German resistance, the operation began to fall behind schedule, surrendering its one major advantage which was speed. British tanks advancing along Hell’s Highway travelled just seven miles on the first day of combat, compared to the 13 miles expected. Delays to British paratroopers landing further complicated matters, leaving those doing the fighting under-supplied and barely reinforced

German anti-tank guns picked off tanks and armoured cars during the British advance, creating obstacles in the middle of the road that were difficult to manoeuvre around and made the job of destroying the remaining vehicles much easier. German resistance along the single narrow road to Nijmegen and Arnhem delayed the British troops

The British 1st Battalion, under the command of John Frost, was expected to hold the northern end of the Arnhem bridge for two days with 10,000 men as part of the plan. In fact he ended up holding it for four days with just 740 men facing down much stiffer resistance than anticipated until he was finally overrun and captured. Pictured are men of the 9th SS Panzer division picking through the rubble after his defeat

 Street fighting during the operation was fierce, with British and American troops often forced to advance in long, thin columns because of the narrow roads, which allowed German defenders to easily break their lines and pick them off. Pictured left, the crew of an American mine-clearing Sherman tank watch for snipers as a nearby building burns to the ground; right, a British soldier walks down a street in Arnhem

Radio communications were a particular problem during Operation Market Garden, with radio range severely limited or non-existent. It was later found that Allied radios had been set to different frequencies, two of which coincided with German and British public broadcasting stations. Despite this, the Allies completed several important objectives, including the capture of the Nijmegen road bridge (right), but fell short of their ultimate objective

Nine days after the attack began, the British 1st Airborne Division were given their orders to withdraw back across the Rhine, effectively ending the operation in defeat. During the night, and employing every possible ruse to make the Germans believe they were still at their posts, almost 2,400 men crossed the river in dinghies. 300 were left on the northern bank after being cut off by gunfire and surrendered at first light

Members of the 1st Airborne Division are pictured after being captured by the Germans following their surrender on 25 September. While the Allies were able to hold some positions in the Netherlands following the assault, Monty’s Plan had failed and the war would not end until the following year after claiming thousands more lives

This photo (left) was taken at the end of September 1944 and shows the level of damage the street fighting in Nijmegen caused. To clear the Germans from the southern approaches of the road bridge required the destruction of many of the surrounding buildings. The images were collected by Anthony Tucker-Jones in his book (pictured right)

It was hard to tell how long Madison had been in hell, working the 24 shift in a crappy customer service role, a never ending line of customers, the same old faces yelling and demanding things of her.

She’d spent a bit of time, thinking as to why this may have been her own personal hell, realising after sometime that she used to be one of those customers in the real world, so entitled and rude. Now here she was on the receiving end of comments like “can’t you just do your job right”. When of course it’s hell, everything was going to be wrong, and she had no way to fix it. That was the point, well at least part of it, The loss of control.

“Who in Fresh hell are you” SHIT. She’s not supposed to be rude, the ‘manager’ was always watching. Still this dude was new, no one she’d ever seen before, and she remembered all their faces. “Uh yeah.. we can go to that section” a perfect chance to find out more about the strange man and how he got into her hell loop.

Hadrian + Madison

Time moved different in the Underworld. Sorting souls rather took care of things himself. Their lives determined their torment in Tartarus or peace in the Elysian Fields. Hell and heaven whatever belief system they believed in it was really all the same just names mainly. Some people that were annoying his father just had wait in a limbo. Not quite hell and certainly not heaven. 

There were times he grew curious and would slip into these afterlives and see what they were like. Yet today was full of surprises when he actually knew this one. An actress that he had had a bit of a crush on before well his world changed. He had wondered what had happened to her. He changed his clothing with a snap of his fingers as he went to get in line as people were yelling at her. Some were trying to return things others complaining that they were out of whatever it was in their size or what not. Finally it was his turn. “Can you show me where the suits are in this place? Can’t seem to find anything.”
