Shangri-La Development Association (SDA) Vacancy 2081 for Field Coordinator Shangri-La Development Association (SDA) is a non-government, not-for-profit organization established by Youths for community development in 2014 A.D. SDA has been making community…

[astral-realities]

would you mind telling us about your architects?

SDA: Of course. My architect, Golden Thread in an Ornate Tapestry is...

SDA: ...was…

SDA: …a person of many talents. Her interest in art and fashion allowed her to become a well-known designer. In addition, they were tasked with my development, and dare I say - she did great.

SDA: She was …. a lovely person to be around. I’m proud to call them my friend.

BROS: (What they won’t tell you is that she became an architect mostly due to their mother’s status…)

BROS: (… who happens to be the main engineer of Vastness of Silence…)

HS: Eleven Claws, Eternal Grace. Though he usually went by just “Grace”.

HS: While there were those who deemed his approach to some matters controversial, he was an important figure in the scientific community.

HS: His team and I worked hard to help him fulfill his visions.

BROS: (Habitually Stargazing has too much respect for his creators to admit Grace was not a very pleasant person to be around…)

TFB: Spring after Storm, Ruby Blossoms Flourish.

TFB: There isn’t much for me to say about them.

TFB: They pioneered a couple of gene alteration algorithms, I suppose. Many of the creatures in my area are the descendants of their experiments.

BROS: (Flowers wasn’t very fond of her creator, though I believe she never spoke of this disdain directly. She continuously worked on her tasks while they were still around.)

BROS: (Oh, my turn!)

BROS: This is Quicksilver Rains from Dark Clouds! We usually called her Rains. Or Clouds, or Silver, or anything in between.

BROS: As you can guess, she’s my architect! Legend has it she built me due to her dissatisfaction with the quality of medical care in the area.

BROS: Rains strived to improve the quality of life of those around her - though she’d never admit she actually cared about them that much! She was a rather reserved person, but if you got to know her and her sense of humor, it was great.

BROS: I do miss her at times.

Meet the cast! (aka my OCs!)

Finally time to introduce my OCs! I'm sure I'll be making more in the future and will keep this updated. You will notice I have a lot more to say about my fantasy OCs - this is because I've been working on their universe for some years now and though I'm very indecisive and there's a lot of changes, a lot of back-and-forth, it is much easier for me to develop these ones I'm familiar with. The Vampire OCs were created like a week ago - they're still very early in development! We will surely be learning about them together :) I hope you enjoy them regardless! Please feel free to ask questions, I love my OCs more than life itself

MY FANTASY WORLD

Eldwin Wishtmane (he/they)

(Neka)

Age: 22-24. An illegal sorcerer free from the governments grasp and a "warlock" - someone who has conspired with demons - Eldwin fled home at a young age and was captured and sold to the Black Syndicate, the most powerful criminal organization in the country. Naturally he has many enemies, from the court of law to the dregs of the underworld; an Unmarked mage is a rare and valuable thing, and a warlock is a sinner who threw away their humanity the moment they made a pact. 

He is 5'4 with a slender build, a little underweight due to high stress and poor eating habits and a youthful face with soft features. He has pale silver eyes and short-to-mid length black hair that develops streaks of white. He has a tattoo-like sigil on the back of his right hand which is the mark of his demon pact with a scar running through it, a brand on the right side of his neck that is a mark of the Syndicates ownership, and a crudely carved scar below his left collarbone. He favours formal clothing in dark colours and hates showing much skin. He wears gloves to hide the sigil. 

He is very stoic and reserved, unwilling to get close to people or show any vulnerability. He develops some very unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Destrian Advyre (any pronouns)

(picrew)

Age: 22-24.  Half wood-elf, half Dragonkin, an ancient race descended from the Goddess of Dragons. Both elves and dragonkin possess keener senses than humans.. Destrian is the deputy leader of the Supernatural Detective Agency, or the SDA, a private mercenary agency that deals with anything from private investigations, fighting monsters and retrieving rare items from dungeons. 

5'6 with a lithe build. Has brown hair with a russet undertone xe wears in a braid that falls almost to his knees, and golden brown eyes. He has gold-coloured horns and smattering of golden spots rather like scales across his arms, shoulders and neck. The gold on her face is facepaint worn for ceremonies. She typically wears sturdy but comfortable clothes in brown and purple tones, but loves dressing up for occasions in elegant clothes in rich colours, namely reds, golds and purples. 

She is a kind and gentle soul, seemingly carefree but harbors growing feelings of guilt and inferiority inside. She always puts everyone else before herself, and buries her own feelings deep in order to not cause trouble for others.

Ancassius Lailicci (he/him)

(picrew)

Age: 24-26. He is part-selkie - his maternal grandmother was selkie and the children and grandchildren were blessed with exceptional swimming and diving ability, can hold their breath for about 30 minutes, and can tolerate cold better than most humans. Despite that his favourite countries to visit are warm ones, and he never spends a winter in Aenora if he can help it - he refuses to be seen without his tan. He doesn't like to spend too long in one place anyway; his heart longs for the sea and he's never happier than when he's on his own ship surrounded by a loyal crew and sailing the ocean making new discoveries and riches. 

He is about 6'3 with a strong, board build with hazel eyes and dyed-red hair that he keeps long, either loose or in a low ponytail. (His natural hair colour is brown). Curiously, he also appears to have slightly webbed fingers. He is rather vain and takes great pride in his appearance. He tends to wear open shirts and grand jackets with equally grand hats and favours gold jewellery - lots of jewellery.

He is boisterous and passionate, and tends to make friends wherever he goes. He claims to be a pirate and while he does sometimes plunder some wealthy merchant ships, most of his time is spent travelling the world looking for treasure and smuggling illicit goods - maybe attack a slaver ship or two. But just because he's not overly violent doesn't mean he isn't to be respected - he went from a deckhand to the feared pirate queen Shao Yijun to a Captain in his own right. He can be just as ruthless as his mentor when necessary. 

Seasaìdh [sheh-see] (She/her)

(neka)

[WIP]

Age: 30 by the time she meets Ancassius. A Selkie. An adventurous young woman, she met a human man on the shore and he stole her skin and made her to marry him. He was kind at first, but then he turned cruel and forced her into slavery. She longs for the sea, but without her skin, she cannot go home, and she has no idea if she'll ever find it.

She is 5'2, with green-grey eyes and long black hair that reaches her thighs. She will not let her past control her, and remains a cheerful and optimistic person. She is very gentle and nurturing, and also very strong-willed, refusing to let herself be taken advantage of again. After being freed by Ancassius' and his crew, she joins up with them, her thirst for adventure and desire to see the world never fading. But she still waits for the day she finds her skin, and can return home.

Alistair Farewell (he/him)

(picrew)

Age: 50s-60s. The patriarch of the Farewell family and Head of the Black Syndicate. He will do whatever it takes to protect his family and his city. He is well-respected by city residents for his fairness and charity, but he is calculating and is not above cruelty if he has reason. He's lonely after the premature death of his wife, spending most of his time out of public eye.

He is about 5'10" with a heavy set build, deep blue eyes and strong features with greying brown hair kept neatly combed back. He's never seen in casual wear, always opting for a full suit or tux everywhere, excluding the privacy of his own room.

Clyde Farewell (he/him)

(picrew)

Age: 35. The heir to the Farewell name and the Underboss of the Black Syndicate. A man used to getting what he wants. He alone made the decision to purchase Eldwin, and considers him his greatest prize. He is very possessive and dislikes when his father takes an interest in Eldwin, but cannot speak against the man who's word is law... and who controls his inheritance. He is a volatile and arrogant man, but knows how to turn on the charm when he needs to. He expects to take over the Black Syndicate someday, though Alistair believes he is unfit for the job.

He enjoys exerting his power over others and will find any excuse to punish Eldwin. It is his abject cruelty that leads Alistair to consider him unsuitable to take over.

He is 6'1 with a very similar appearance to his father, though slimmer with younger, softer features.

Nels Barbary aka The Handler (he/they)

(picrew)

Age: 41. Clyde's right-hand and most trusted confidant. The man in charge of training Eldwin, he is a firm believer in cruel punishment and is harsh in his teachings. He's not someone who tortures for pleasure, however; He only inflicts suffering in the name of training, punishment, or as part of the job. He doesn't delight in it, but he won't lament over it either. He does like the feeling of control that comes with it.

6'3 with a large, muscular build, brown eyes and rather unkempt blond hair. Being the muscle of the Syndicate, he can get away with looking a bit unkempt. He has a large scar on his face, and on his neck like someone once tried to slit his throat.

MODERN VAMPIRES

Liana Coleman (she/her)

(picrew)

Age: 27.  A struggling freelance artist. It's a cold winter night when her car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Faced with either freezing to death in her car or potentially freezing to death on the road trying to find someone who can help, she makes the trek and ends up at an old manor house...

She is 5'7 with a rather average build and black hair that falls to her shoulders in springy coils. She wears casual, comfortable clothing and favours a more neutral palette.

She has a curious nature and a habit of getting involved in business she shouldn't - but she does have everyones best interests at heart. She's friendly if a little awkward and clumsy, and keeps an active social life.

Adelia Morgan (she/her)

(picrew)

Age: 210.  She lives in an old mansion with other vampires, lead by the Elder. When a shivering human woman arrives at her door one stormy night, Adelia has a decision to make. She was turned into a vampire in 1844 at the age of 30. She was an aspiring writer and had a husband and three children. When she was turned she murdered her family in uncontrollable bloodlust and facing persecution, fled to her vampire clan where she lives to this day.

5'9 and slim with dark hair in tight curls around shoulder length. Her brown skin holds a vaguely unhealthy complexion, her eyes are a deep red and she has dainty looking fangs. She typically wears glamorous floor-length gowns in deep colours, usually black or red, and is also fond of jewellery. Except silver. 

A once loving woman, over the years her heart hardened, haunted by the guilt of what she did to her previous family and trapped under the thumb of her master, the Elder who turned her.

Hello, I also grew up in the sda church (all my religious family remains sda), but I want to convert to the Catholic church. I've seen some people say that Saturday is still the Sabbath (and is still honored) and Sunday is the Lords day, and others say Sunday is the new Sabbath. Do you know which one it is?

hi! i'll be honest i don't really think about the sabbath anymore, which is a great development that took most of the last 8 or so years to achieve. i don't currently identify as part of a specific religion or denomination and the sabbath per se is not something i practice. my perception is that the intense preoccupation with the exact day of the sabbath is a uniquely adventist concern and no one else in christianity really worries much about what the "right" day is or how exactly to "keep the sabbath". as far as i remember i've never even heard it discussed in services of other denominations (although my experience is not extensive). that being said i have heard adventists say that there are some other christians who "acknowledge saturday as the true sabbath" while still going to church on sunday, which i think is what you're referring to? however i've never actually heard non adventists talk about it. the sda perspective on the sabbath is incredibly restrictive and personally, learning to see saturday as a regular day on which you can do things with no sense of guilt or obligation or crushing boredom (instead of the worst and most obnoxious day of the week) is one of the better things to happen to me. therefore i don't think there is a right answer to this question and i don't think it matters. god is much bigger than what day you go to church on - it is much more important that you feel supported and at home in your religious community than that you meet on a certain day.

What is Supported Independent Living?

A Supported Independent living arrangement is an alternative to residential care. It enables people with disabilities to live in their own housing, which is typically on a community campus.

It includes a range of support services that help you with daily activities. To find out if SIL is an option for you, talk to your NDIS planner or local area coordinator.

What is SIL?

As the name suggests, SIL supports participants to live independently at home with a team of support workers. The NDIA assesses a participant’s eligibility for SIL by looking at their support needs, goals and current living arrangements.

The SIL funding pays for a carer team to visit the participant at home regularly and help them with everyday tasks, as well as accessing community activities. It does not cover other costs such as specialist disability accommodation (SDA) or home modifications.

Most SIL participants live in shared accommodation. Providers manage this by creating a roster of care that specifies the ratio of support staff to housemates. They then claim for the hours they need to meet this schedule each week. This process can be time consuming and requires care to avoid overclaiming and funding gaps. ShiftCare's NDIS software offers all the tools needed to manage a complex roster of SIL participants, including team and recurring schedules, client spending tracked across different funds, real-time no-show alerts, and a portal for clients' approved loved ones. Try it for free now.

How does SIL work?

SIL is funded through the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). It can be found in the “Supports” section of a participant’s NDIS plan.

NDIA’s Support Coordinators work with participants to find a suitable home and living support option that aligns with their individual needs and goals. This includes determining whether SIL will be delivered in shared accommodation or in their own home, and how it will be managed.

Those who are eligible for SIL funding will have a customisable support schedule that’s built to help them achieve their goals, grow their confidence and improve their quality of life. This support can include assistance with budgeting, managing tenancy agreements, and accessing public transportation.

Managing SIL support can be challenging for providers. It requires accurate service scheduling, correct allocation and coordination of hours claimed and the use of care management software to ensure all claims are submitted at the right time each week. This allows for consistent high-quality SIL provision.

Who is eligible for SIL?

SIL is available to individuals who are NDIS participants and have a permanent disability that affects their ability to care for themselves. It is a specific form of NDIS funding that is allocated for accommodation-related support.

Typically, SIL can include various living arrangements such as shared homes and standalone apartments. It might also involve services that support daily tasks, such as personal care assistance, meal planning and preparation, shopping and household maintenance. It could also help with recreational activities and attending community events. SIL also promotes stronger social connections, which might help alleviate loneliness and build confidence.

Individuals may want to consider visiting potential SIL accommodations in person and even staying for short periods of time before making a decision. They should also consult with their support coordinators or other trusted advisers to ensure they are choosing the best option for them. Once a choice has been made, the SIL provider will work with you and your support coordinator to draft a RoC that is then submitted to the NDIA for approval.

What are the benefits of SIL?

One of the key benefits of SIL is that it can significantly improve your quality of life. It encourages personal growth, skill development and community engagement, all of which can help to boost your confidence, self-esteem and sense of achievement.

Having regular support at home can also make it easier to manage your daily routine and build healthy lifestyle habits. A good SIL provider will listen to you and create a support plan that fits your needs and goals.

Living in a SIL house can also give you the opportunity to meet a vibrant community and participate in social events, outings and group activities. This can lead to new connections and feelings of belonging, helping to combat isolation.

NDIS Accommodation Options

NDIS participants now have more options than ever when it comes to accommodation. From transitional solutions like Short Term Accommodation to longer arrangements such as Supported Independent Living and Specialist Disability Accommodation, the range of choices is vast.

Housing and support services are now separated so that you can have genuine choice and control over what suits you best. This includes specialist housing and home modifications.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

SIL is an accommodation NDIS option that is suitable for people who want to live independently but need some assistance around the house. This typically includes overnight support. If you’re looking to get into SIL, you can work with your NDIS planner to find a provider and arrange an assessment to see if it’s right for you.

A SIL provider will create a roster of care that lists out what a typical week looks like for everyone in the home, including what support is being provided and how much time each person will spend with each worker. They then submit this to the NDIA for approval.

SIL and SDA are funded separately in a participant’s plan, so they can choose to receive either or both if it suits them. This gives participants more choice and control over their housing and support services. They can also use SIL funding for other supports, like home modifications and assistive technology, to help them live independently at home.

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is an ideal option for participants who are looking for a temporary housing solution. MTA is a short housing support service that is funded by the NDIS and provides participants with a safe, comfortable place to stay while they wait for their long-term housing. MTA is typically arranged for up to 90 days, but may be extended if necessary.

This type of accommodation is a great choice for people who need a break from their everyday routines or their carers. It is also a good option for people who are recovering from a serious illness or injury. MTA can be provided in a variety of settings, including residential houses, units, apartments and hotels.

MTA is a great way to recharge your batteries and spend time doing activities you enjoy. It is also a good opportunity to meet new people and develop connections. The best part is that MTA is a safe and supportive environment for your health and wellbeing.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)

SDA is a bricks and mortar component of the NDIS and provides specialised housing solutions for people with extreme functional impairment or high support needs. This can be either a home or an apartment, but it must meet the NDIS SDA standards. The NDIS will take a holistic approach to determine whether SDA is right for you, and what other supports might go alongside it to achieve your goals.

Unlike SIL, SDA funding doesn’t include any of the other disability supports that might help you to manage your daily life. This means that if you need assistance with personal care or preparing meals, then those supports would have to be funded separately with a different type of NDIS funding. Having said that, you can still use your SIL to pay for things like modifications in your home, such as ceiling hoists. These can allow you to live in your home more independently and allow other supports to be delivered better or safer.

Group Homes

Group homes provide a warm, family-like environment for IDD residents with the benefit of personal and professional support. Tailored homemade meals are provided as well as laundry and housekeeping services. On-site professionals can also take care of health appointments for added peace of mind.

With a home-like setting, groups are often smaller and more intimate, providing a close connection with peers. This allows staff to get to know each resident and their individual needs. This can help develop therapeutic relationships and foster a sense of belonging.

During the pandemic, many people with disability living in group homes found it challenging to follow stringent COVID-19 protocols. The lack of privacy in these settings made it difficult to isolate people and was a concern for advocates.

Some advocates also saw a need to address the culture in some group homes, which they described as privatised institutions. They noted that NDIS providers gave disability service providers a week’s notice before inspections, and this was seen as a risk to quality of care.

[astral-realities]

hi hello! would you like to tell us about yourselves?

SDA: Of course. I'm Serene Dreams Abound, the second oldest member of the Astral Realities group. I was... created to assist our senior... Later, the focus shifted to taking care of my citizens.

HS: Habitually Stargazing, astronomical research facility. I had the honor of working with some great scientists back in the day; some even called my city their home. Despite the state of things, I'm still working on my duties.

BROS: Wow, so *formal*, you two...

BROS: Might as well use your model numbers while you're at it~

ECEG835110HS: Sure thing.

BROS: ...

TFB: Hah! Well, I'm Thirteen Flowers Bloom, though you can call me Flowers if you want! I spend most of the time monitoring the state of the wildlife in my surrounding area - I'm very interested in its well-being and development, particularly in seeing how these organisms adjust to the world without us Iterators modifying them to. If you have any creatures to show me, please do!

BROS: And I'm BROS, a medical facility by design, though I definitely have less work to do nowadays, etc, etc. I love meeting new people, so make sure to say hi!

Benefits of Supported Independent Living

If you have a disability and are considering supported independent living, it’s important to know how it works. This is a type of accommodation and support that is funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

SIL is best for those who need frequent assistance with daily tasks, including cooking meals. It’s also good for those who need help managing challenging behaviours and overnight support.

Identifying Your Needs

Identifying your needs is the first step to finding a Supported Independent Living provider that suits you. This includes assessing your goals, personal strengths and abilities. The assessment will also help determine your unique rehabilitation needs.

SIL can be used to pay for home and living supports that you need to live more independently in your own housing, like help with daily tasks, cooking meals or travelling to and from appointments. It can also be used for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) which involves shared living arrangements that are specialised to suit people with higher level support needs.

SIL can also be used for other personal care and community services that you need to stay safe and healthy in your own home, such as help cleaning or getting ready. The fees for these services are regulated by the NDIS.

Creating a Support System

One of the biggest benefits of SIL is that it helps individuals with disabilities build confidence and self-esteem. As they progress towards their goals, they can enjoy a more fulfilling lifestyle and boost their quality of life.

SIL can be a great choice for people who want to live in their own homes but require assistance with daily activities like cooking, cleaning and shopping. This type of support is available under Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

SIL can also be combined with Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) to provide an enhanced living experience. This type of support involves funding for modified housing that caters to specific needs and disabilities, such as wider doorways or grab bars in bathrooms. Typically, these housing arrangements are shared with other people and can be cheaper than staying at home alone.

Developing a Plan

Developing a plan for your future is an essential part of preparing to live independently. It helps to identify your goals and work with a planner or coordinator to find out what options are available to you.

One option is Supported Independent Living (SIL). SIL is provided as part of some

NDIS participants’ disability funding plans. SIL supports people with high levels of support needs to live in their own homes.

SIL programs provide individualized care that meets the specific needs of each person, ensuring that it aligns with their goals and aspirations. This personalised approach helps individuals to gain independence and confidence as they work towards their objectives. Self-advocacy is an important aspect of a successful ndis supported independent living program, and CILs can help with this through training and mentoring services.

Embracing a Positive Mindset

By focusing on personal growth, skill development, and social engagement, Supported Independent Living programs enable participants to unlock their full potential, leading to a more fulfilling lifestyle. These benefits can also improve their overall quality of life, contributing to better mental and physical health.

SIL disability funding typically covers paid supports that assist with daily tasks in shared accommodation. This can include meal preparation, cleaning, washing, and transport assistance. It does not cover living costs such as food, electricity, and rent.

Fostering a positive mindset is a conscious choice that involves intentional daily practices. These strategies include expressing gratitude, setting achievable goals, and cultivating resilience. Practicing these habits can help tilt the scales away from negativity, welcoming an abundance of health and happiness. This can make the transition to a supported independent living Adelaide environment more manageable.

Maintaining Family Traditions

Maintaining family traditions is a great way to build a strong sense of identity and create lasting memories. Family traditions can help to promote happiness and generosity amongst family members, as well as provide a natural antidote to stress and grief.

Traditions can be rooted in religious or cultural beliefs, or they may simply be activities that families have engaged in for generations. They can also involve food, music, gifts, and other events.

When establishing new family traditions, be sure to involve everyone in the planning process. This will help to ensure that the new tradition is fun and exciting for all family members. It’s also important to remember that traditions don’t have to be overly elaborate or expensive. The key is to keep them consistent but flexible.
