   Rajan Exposè
Tired, snippy, spacey, but I like Rajan so a question mark emotion for the day. I woke up and went upstairs about half an hour later then I did last Tuesday, but class starts at 11:30 so it's okay. My parents were up and they told my it was my brother's birthday today. We don't really celebrate birthdays but we do acknowledge them, so when he came down I said happy birthday. Wow, you're ten. You know, the whole big sister thing. But then my dad told me that he was eleven. And then my brother started complaining he had a headache so he should stay home. And they thought about it! So I snapped at him and my mom took him to school. Interesting morning. And I still refuse to drive my car because my siser didn't clean the grafitti off. I'm not driving to loser school with that stuff on there. No way.
I've got Anthropology for three hours today. Other then me not liking being locked up in a building, not liking listening to stupid questions, the class being three hours, and me knowing most of this stuff, it won't be so bad. I had two readings due today. Well, two and two chapters. I skipped the chapters and read one and a half readings. One was about a girl gangs but mostly about this one girl gangster. Gangs always interested me, but lately, maybe always a little, I've started to realise how pathetic and idiotic they are. Knowing what I know of mobs, gangs are just a cheap knock-off and they're not pulling it off so well. They do have their laws and that's what I found fasicnating. But even those are weak compared to the massive code structures of the mobs. The other reading was talking about how there was no such thing as race. Well, duh, I knew that since I was like six. Compare humans to dogs, humans are humans and dogs are dogs even though they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. I was such a naive kid when it came to that. I wasn't even aware there were differences until I moved south for a year were the classrooms were segregated.

Now to Rajan since this is supposed to be his exposè. Copywrite The Unsaid Works. Rajan du Drake (king of the dragon) is Cealleah du Drake's oldest grandson. If you remember, Cealleah is that old guy that killed his father, brother, and sister-in-law for power. He's Ratri von Bavol's uncle. Rajan, pronounced rah-yahn by his parents so by us too, was groomed to take over the du Drake family. He was taught to hate the von Bavol family and taught that the du Drake should be the rulers of the country. When the show starts Rajan is twenty four and recently married to his fiance of three years, Despina. Rajan had a slight disadvantage at life. Being born a year after Emre von Bavol, he was practically born with the hatred for the royal family. When he was sixteen, Teseo died. When Ratri took the throne, Cealleah fed him the most horrible lies to intensify his hatred. This was also the year Cealleah secretly started training him with a sword. The du Drake aren't fighters, so Rajan's not all that great with it. He admired his grandfather beyond anyone else and joined him as he broke Ratri down. It only took them a year to get her to step down. The throne was passed to Emre. Rajan helped Cealleah force him off too. It took them three years. With Anastasius too young, Rajan thought he'd be in line for the throne as his grandfather told him. That's when Duscha stepped in. Rajan felt more hate for Duscha then either Ratri or Emre. He believed all Cealleah's lies about how she was ripping apart the country. Rajan, now twenty and a year older the Duscha, joined Cealleah once again to get her off the throne. They were quickly shoved into their place. Over the next year, Cealleah plotted and Rajan led a fairly normal life. He met Despina and soon started courting her. He talked often about marrying her. At twenty one, he started to save up his money so he could propose, but that's when his life as he knew it came crashing down. The fifteen year old aristocrat, Ai von Bavol, was supposedly killed and the fourteen year old heir to the throne was missing. Rajan was woken up late in the night by Cealleah. He told Rajan that he had to go gather the essentuial people for a coup. Rajan spent all the hours of darkness gathering the future lords of the country. They met back up with Cealleah for the coup as the sun was rising only to be found by Dark Valentine, the sister of Valerian del Ignis the head of Zephyr's army and the del Ignis family. The coup was stopped and Rajan was seen as the ringleader thanks to Cealleah. Facing the great possiblity of exacution for treason, he was only saved by the very person he was trying to get rid of. Duscha put Cealleah under house arrest for six months and forbade Rajan contact with him until his deathbed. Furious, he insults her and her rule even though she just spared him. She makes him go walk around Zephyr. He obeys, just thinking the whole thing is stupid, but starts to see that all the worry and strife Cealleah was preaching was a lie. What turned him around enough to confront his father about his grandfather was seeing Despina cry about Ai's death. His father basically attacked him, and Rajan knew that his family had been wrong. He went back to Duscha and begged for forgiveness. She granted him that and banished him from his father's home so that he couldn't be harmed in there again. She also took away his marriage rights until he was twenty four. He supports Duscha, and is friendly towards Ratri, Emre, Indigo, and Alethea now. He's eagerly awaiting for Anastasius's rule, but he's still going to be uneasy with Ai. The du Drake, especially Cealleah, hated Shadi so much that it'll take longer for Rajan and Ai to get along. Rajan eventually will become the head of the du Drake family, and with his rule it'll turn them around. He eventually has three children; Echo (daughter), Brandt (son), and Erica (daughter). Rajan has two older sisters, Ayden and Dayana, a younger brother, Reese, a younger sister, Odelia, and another younger brother, Dakota. Rajan has dark green hair and light yellow eyes.

   need an angrier face
I'm not doing an exposè today because I'm so angry it's not even funny. I've got to stay away from my sister or I'm going to seriously strangle her to death. She took my car, again. She didn't wreak it this time, but it got completely vandlized. Apparently she was hanging out with three friends, who happen to be three black teenagers. And apparently there are some people who don't think that's right. So they spray painted 'slut', 'bitch', and dilldos all over my car and slashed two of my tires. If this was a case of vandlism for racial reasons like my mother thinks, then I'm not going to be so mad at her. She shouldn't of had the car out at all. It was past curfew, but it's not her fault that people are complete idiots. Wow, it's really hard for me not to type a whole bunch of swear words. However, this might not be the case. The kids here are very bored. They can't do drugs anymore because of random drug testing at all of the schools, so they turned to pranks. If this was a case of her friends trying to prank her, then I'm going to beat their heads along with hers. There has been a string of this vandlism though and it's starting to look like this could be racism. If my sister, who is seen as white, wants to have black friends that's no ones business but hers. That car isn't hers, it's mine. I let her drive it to school and use it on the weekends, but if I want it I get it no matter what because it's my car. What an out dated cause to vandlize a car. My sister isn't even really white. We're not really white. If people want to get right down to what white is, then we qualify as 'other'. I was so mad after I saw what those stupid kids did to my car, and what my stupid sister has done to it previously, that I was almost broadsided. The angrier I get the more reckless I become. I'm still pretty mad. I can't even absorb any of the work I'm supposed to be doing for classes. I'll just read the Anthropology stuff and have to do Communications later or that paper will be too angry. People need to get a life, seriously. Taking out your sick prejudice on a seventeen year old girl's sister's car is cowardly. I think it's time for some vigilantism.

Epic news, found the "magic" 8ball. According to that thing Trini marries every girl except four. And Caleb kills Flair accidently and secretly enjoyed it. Very strange 8ball.

   break
I wonder if people get the wrong idea sometimes when they see that Straight Guys Are Hot logo? I hope the Fight Yaoi With Rock under it clears it up better. I can't try to explain it more then that or I offend people without meaning to. I don't like yaoi, that's the simple message. Anyway, I'm going to take a break from the character exposès for today. I couldn't really find a character. I was going to do Ah-nee but that'd either be incredubly long or extremely short. My hand is starting to hurt from typing those big long things everyday anyway. I'm not saying that this will be all that short though.

So, I don't have class tomorrow. Most likely that'll mean I'll do hours upon hours of school work then instead of splitting it up evenly. I can't even remember what my work is. I know I have a lot of it. I've got two or three short stories to read in English and write papers on. Yeah, writing papers the first day. They're only supposed to be a page long but they're about communication and in-dept junk about the stories. Oh no, they might actually be poems instead of stories! Great, poetry is my biggest down fall. I had an 'A' in my last English class until poetry. Failed that whole section so passed with a 'C'. I think I'm supposed to be doing Algebra everyday but I forget where we left off. I don't listen very well in that class. I think I just have to do research and prepare for my oral report on the Onodaga tribe. I hope that's it because I didn't write anything down. Class was at 8:30 so I wasn't all that up. And I hope we just have to read two stories in Anthropology because that's all I remember her saying. Florescent lights, white walls, white board, and neon papers, I felt a bit sick when I left the classroom.

Well, enough about classes and work. The bad work, anyway. I'm going to talk about the good work. I got on my typing computer and copied everything from before Epic onto my laptop. Anastasius and Ai haven't changed too much. The story I was writing before Epic was going to be a lot darker then it was. I was really sad, so I chucked it and wrote the elaborated version of the backstory with Onitane. I hated the dark version and the elaborated version, but I like the unwritten actual backstory. The dark version though started with the near end of the elaborated version. Ai was lying there dying and asked Anastasius to just finish him off. Which in the dark version you never see if he doesn't. Then it goes back a couple weeks to three year old Aleksei asking Anastasius why he didn't have a daddy when everyone else in the village did. The whole thing just felt sad. The elaborated version at least had parts where Ah-nee thought Koji was taking to him instead of Aleksei. It's funny, I kept their ages all the same. Koji was nineteen, Ah-nee was sixteen, Ai was seventeen, and Aleksei was three. I kept putting four in the elaborated version but he's really not four. Almost four. And I found fractured scenes of Anastasius and Emre from when they were five and thirteen. That was from me trying to get a feel for them. Jeez, Ah-nee was such a brat. My favorite scene is him all hoving around Emre while Emre's polishing a sword. He wants to hold this massive broadsword and Emre says he's too little right now but he'll let him hold a kunai. Ah-nee calls it stupid and steps out of the room. He messed up his hair, sits down in the hall, and starts crying. When Ratri comes to see what's wrong he tells her Emre picked him up and threw him out of his room. Emre's trying to stay calm and just says he didn't but Ah-nee keeps crying so Ratri just looks all disapprovingly at Emre. And Ah-nee grins wickedly as they walk down the hall. Oh man, and then you add a young Ai. Ai was just as bad except he was smarter. He's getting Duscha in trouble for things he and Ah-nee did. He's not respectful to Teseo or Ratri. He calls them Teseo and Ratri. And he gets a little snippy when Teseo dies. I guess you can't blame him. Teseo was the third person he lost and he was only ten. You have Emre, Duscha, Indigo, and Alethea all sad and talking about how they don't know how they're going to get through it, and what about Zephyr, and Ah-nee standing there not believing any of them. Ai just says something like you just get through it, he's going to his room and wants to be left alone, and starts to leave. And Indigo says that their mother told them not to leave and he snaps at her. Just says that Ratri's not his mother and leaves. He's the one that gets through to Ah-nee though and gets him through the whole thing. He probably got all of them through it because he, other then Ratri, really knew what they were going through. Oh my gosh, Ai has living grandparents! Wow, I totally forgot about that. That'll be interesting. And I found Anastasius's first responce when he found out Ai was a killer. And his first responce to the first time he kills. When Epic starts his kill count is a flat zero, but you can't be a ninja chasing a demon and not kill anyone. It's impossible. I'm all prepared for that. I really like the responce to finding out what Ai was doing. I don't know why I didn't put that in the elaborate version. Probably because it was too Japanese orianted or something, but he does find out about Ai's evil on Hogosha so it could still work. It's like one of those rare times you see Ah-nee's got more to him.

Alright, now getting away from the Epic stuff. I haven't touched Mirror Image since about Thanksgiving. I started working on Epic stuff and my Epic stuff is on my laptop where Mirror Image is on my typing computer. I just transferred myunfinished chapter to my laptop so I can finish that one up at least. I want to keep MI on my typing computer but I can't type in my room in the winter. No heat. And my story that has no story but just characters, the one with Dice and Mica, I got that info off and put it on here. I finally finished the four area place names. The four bosses are Mimic Avast, Snapdragon Rambler, Mica Masters, and Gyasi Wickersham. Mimic has Sohm Avenue, Snapdragon has The Iron Gate, Mica has La Maison de Folie, and Gyasi has Dusk Tavern. Dice Rebels is mostly the main character in this. He's allowed to go everywhere but he won't go in Dusk Tavern. Innit Llewellyn rarely leaved The Iron Gate and when he does he's on Sohm Avenue. Mica scares him so he refuses to go to La Maison de Folie (the house of madness). And you're an idiot to step into Dusk Tavern. Maggie Saentes (Magpie Foxcroft-Saentes) is allowed everywhere except Dusk Tavern. Dice strongly advises him not to go to La Maison de Folie, so he doesn't go there either.
Sohm Avenue is the town's main street. It's full of hotels and casinos. Mimic is the mayor so this is his territory. The dupty mayor is Procyon Rhapsody. Miss Corner Seamounts (the town) is Limerick Maelstrom. The hidden martyr is Miriah Cinis. Mimic stole her from a traveling priest. He's trying to get her well again but it'll never work. She can't even talk anymore.
The Iron Gate is one half of the town. It has a big iron gate to keep tourists out. Not very creative on Snapdragon's part. His second in command was Dice but Dice went freelance. He still lets the terror trio stay in his half of the town since the other option was La Maison de Folie.
La Maison de Folie is the other half of the town. It has a very vibrant and cirrcus-y feel to it. It's super creepy. You get people dressed up as clowns and mimes in there. A few as large bunnies. Mica is dying and as a result he's doing anything he wants. He has a great fondness for what is beatiful, pretty, cute, or fuzzy. He wants it and he'll get it. Everything is a toy to him. He loathes Dice and wants to eat his liver while he watches. The second in command is Beryl Masters.
Dusk Tavern is this small little tavern on the outskirts of the town. It's full of sad, depressed, weak, and sick people. They take a seat at the counter and never leave. Every night Gyasi the Exacutioner shows up, shoots a person, and leaves. That's why you'd be nuts to set foot in there. If you want to die, you go there. Gyasi's a bit of a loner. You don't need a mob for his job.
I meantioned every character in this "story" except for Branch Moriarty and Nightingale Foxcroft-Saentes. Nightingale is the "badguy". Really, she's a good guy but with everyone else morally corrupt she's the badguy. Branch...he's just sort of there right now. He'll be in big trouble if Dice gets his hands on him. Dice is essentually the "Devil". Charisma leaking out of his pores and a grin that makes you lose all reason. And he'll lead you astray, if it is astray. I'll get back to the character exposès tomorrow. Everything Epic related is copywrite The Unsaid Works. Everything else is copywrite Blue Swallow Productions. Have a nice day.

   Hawkers Exposè
So, I "poisoned" my little brother's food. It won't hurt you or make you sick, but the idea is to make you think it will. Just how we play. My parents dumped it back in with everything else so now all the food is "poisoned". I'm ammune but if something does happen I know how to neutralize it so it's okay.

I was talking with Meg about our mobsters in Epic. I really like our mobsters, so, in another copywrited by The Unsaid Works exposè, I'll talk about three mobsters that we call the Hawkers.

Firstly, we call them the Hawkers because most of them are falconers, which are also called hawkers. Not very creative but if you look at gang names (even though these are mobsters not gangsters) they have very uncreative names. Usually it's a street name from their territory. Mobsters and gangsters are separated by class and grace. They're businessmen with a dark nightlife, even though a lot of the businessmen now are worse in my opinion.

The leader of the Hawkers is Kaspar Metzger. His name translated is 'treasurer butcher'. He's thirty one when the show starts. He's got brown eyes, which is actually fairly unusual in Epic for some reason. He's also got bluish gray and reddish brown hair. His hair will probably be long, or only one of the colors will be long. I haven't decided yet. Kaspar's an Ameriquian but was born and raised in Lockey. His bird is a female harpy eagle named Aquala. I had a picture of the closest thing to what she'll look like a few months ago.
Kaspar's family was fairly wealthy. His father was a regional merchant and his mother was a master weaver. I haven't named them yet. He's also got siblings or a sibling, but I haven't worked on that yet either. The main point is that this guy had a loving wealthy family and a great life, so why become a crimelord? I'll get to it. Kaspar is well educated and can paint. He can't draw though so he uses that blotching method with his paintings. I forget what it's called. I'm not going into arts so I don't really need to remember it. He was sent to Kikimora to be trained in falconry and hunting by the Merridam family when he was a teenager. I don't know the exact year or how long he was there yet. But he did learn how to be a falconer and he took a real interest in it. That's where he met many of guys who would serve him as Hawkers. He left Kikimora all confident and feeling good, only to return home to nothing. Smaller merchants had moved in and taken most of his father's business. The family had spent everything and were broke. Kaspar turned to crime. He contacted his friends from the training facility and they eagerly joined him looking for a life of excitement. With most of his members falconers, Kaspar contacted his friends in the Merridam family and purchased Aquala at a very discounted price. He was twenty seven when he recieved her. Soon after, Kaspar started carving himself a deep path as a crimelord.

Kaspar's second in command is the handsome and motivated, Phyre Beckett, name meaning 'fire little brook'. The handsome part is really more of a joke. He's got this weird super competitive thing going on with the second in command to the rival mob. He's better looking then her so he refers to himself as handsome when she's around to tick her off. Well, look at that, I managed to give you some of his personallity. When the show starts, Phyre's twenty eight. He has light yellowish green eyes and white and brown hair. I'm pretty sure he wears it long. He's also Ameriquian but was born and raised in Milano. It didn't occur to me until yesterday that this would mean he'd have strong feelings about Zephyr, probably bad feelings. That could make things more interesting. Phyre's bird is a blue eagle named Keefe. She's really like this brown color since she's female. He got her when he was twenty four, about the same time Kaspar got Aquala. Phyre's an only child for sure. His parents weren't wealthy, in fact, his father was a pick-pocket for a living. I haven't named his parents yet but I think his father is in jail when the show starts off. Phyre first met Kaspar and the other future Hawkers at the Merridam's for the hunting training. He got there by stealing the invitation off a wealthy man one day. Instead of selling it, he went and checked it out. He was almost thrown out for lack of manners and obvious lack of education, but what he lacked in the classrooms and dining halls he made up for in talent on the hunting range. When Kaspar called everyone to form the Hawkers, Phyre lept at the chance just because he thought it'd be more fun then being a pick-pocket. He only managed to get Keefe through Kaspar's connections.

Runners are the mail system since there is no phones or e-mail in Epic and each mob has it's own runner. The Hawker's runner is a twenty three year old man named Swift Killin, translated out 'fast burying place'. Swift is also Ameriquian but was born and raised in Ny. He's the youngest of all the Hawkers (expect for Borealis) and because of his speed was given the job of runner. Swift has light brown hair, skin, and eyes. We joke saying that he can lay in the dirt and people will pass him. I'm almost certain he wears his hair short. Hair's kind of important to my vanity. He's also a falconer, despite being a runner. His kestrel is also mostly light brown and his name is Galahad. Swift is fairly quiet, and sort of cold. He doesn't talk about his life before joining the Hawkers. He's got two un-named parents and some un-named siblings. I'm not sure where they stood on the econemic ranks, but Swift seems to be fairly educated which would either mean he was sent to a sort of academy, had a privet tutor, or had a parent who was either a tutor or from good background. Well, he's much more educated then Phyre. He was also at the Merridam camp with the two but was there around the time they were leaving. After he graduated, he recieved Galahad. He was eighteen, so he's been a full falconer for a year longer then the boss and second. I'll have to do some work on all of them but mostly this guy.

And Borealis is an actual up front character so he gets his own info. He's Ameriquian too, notice a pattern? He was eighteen when he joined the Hawkers. He wasn't a falconer. I have to work a lot on him so this is all any of us will say about him for now.

Ameriquian just means that we didn't want to deal with trying to find then a country and stuff. We've actually got a lot of Ameriquians who just live in different countries. Oh, and what do you know, the food I "poisoned" isn't killing anyone or even tasting funny. I told then it wouldn't do anything.

   Byely Flag
I posted them separately to keep it simple. I don't want to go to History today. I don't want to go take an Algebra quiz either. I can't wait until like 13:00. No more school for a whole weekend after that.

Now, the flag. Byely had to have a white flag with the island being called Byely (white in Russian). A plain white flag is symbolic for surrender so I had to dress it up. The white background symbolized peace, purity, and innocence. It can also have meanings in snow but I don't think people put white on a flag to show it snows there. Okay, and this is the long one. The eagle signifies noble nature, strength, bravery, alertness, high-spirited, quick-witted, ingenious, judicious, strength of mind, magnanimity, and protection. Yeah, having an eagle on your flag is like ultimate. On top of that long list, the maroon color adds on patient and victorious in battle.



Byely is a country with complex inter workings of the twelve noble families and the royal family. I haven't done work on the country because of that. Byely makes Zephyr look simple and Zephyr is extremely complicated. The difference between the two, besides Byely having and actual royal family where Zephyr still considers their royal family a noble family, is that Zephyr is practically alive because the country sits so heavily on who's in charge for the noble families. They're both shaped kind of like ameba. Copywrite The Unsaid Works.

   Rixari Flag
The below is copywrite The Unsaid Works. I'm getting tired of saying that every post but oh well. Maybe I'll just put the copywrite symbol on my front page so I don't have to keep saying it. I'm up so early and I think this is Axel Rose. Now it's Aerosmith.

Okay, now to explain this horrible thing. The orange background stands for worthy ambition and the comet stands for brilliant fire. Yes, that's a comet. I wasn't sure how to do a comet on a flag without it being a regular shooting star. My guess is Rixarians didn't know either. There's my defense. Oh yeah, and the comet is red and that adds courage, hardiness, valor, revolution, and blood to the meaning of brilliant fire. The revolution and blood part is scary if you know anything about Rixari. The only really important things you need to know about the island for the show is that they worship the sun (Fire God if it's in a human body), Caleb was exiled from the island and deeply hates it, Inay is half-Rixarian and he too has left the island and hates it. He hates it so much that he's convinced he's crazy and that he has to kill Caleb. I'm not really sure if Inay was banished the way Caleb was or if he left after the other Rixarians didn't want him around.



So, there's the flag. Ugly thing but Rixari is slightly more primitive then the other countries.

   Haruki Exposè
I slept for twelve hours. It was awesome. That made up for the whole start of the week. Tomorrow will be tough but I'm tough too. Blah, I've got English soon though. Classes everyday sucks.

Okay, so now I'll get to the Haruki exposè. I'm posting two more flags tomorrow though since I'm not sure who'll get the next exposè. Copywrite The Unsaid Works.
When Epic starts, Haruki is fifty. I'm not sure if we see him in the show. He's Hogoshain and lives on Hogosha. He's connected to many of my characters. He housed Ai and Nayeli fr a couple days. Anastasius was trained by him and lived with him for about three years. He's Koji's adoptive father which makes Zhek sort of his son-in-law and Aleksei is grandson.
Now with that out of the way, Haruki Ketsuenhi is the owner of Hi Dojo. The dojo was once one of the top places to be trained if you wanted to become a samurai for the emporer. In the dojo's history, countless samurai have come out as well as two ninja. The dojo was pretty much Haruki's life.
Haruki was born the fourth of nine children. He was one of the three that survived with the other two being sisters. His family was extremely poor. Unable to make ends meet, his parents sent all the children away. Haruki was sent to a dojo where he quickly exceled as a swordsman. By the time he was fifteen he was one of the top ten swordmen in the south of Hogosha. Near twenty, he lft the dojo and opened his own. He soon was training samurai for the emporer and becomng steadly wealthy. He married Mizuko, a fisherman's daughter from the village, when he was twenty six. The two lived happily in thier wealthy and welcomed their son, Kuri, a year later. Mizuko soon started to become distressed at Haruki's work. Haruki spent most of his time training and when he wasn't doing that he was out fighting yakuza. He didn't spend much time with her or Kuri.
Things strained at home, Haruki took some time off from the dojo at twenty nine. When he was out with the family, he discoved the exsistance of a demon on Hogosha. He took the family back home and set out alone after the demon. He found a demon named Onitane and forced him into hiding. Haruki went home and was seen as a local hero. With new recognition, more people were coming to him for training. He took most on, pushing Mizuko and Kuri into the background even more. When he was thirty two there was a pirate attack on the local port. One of the dying pirates out of guilt brought the survivor, a two year old girl, to the dojo. Haruki took her in beieving the the little girl from apparently different origins would have other family looking for her after they heard of the attack. Mizuko was against it, not wanting to take care of another child that Haruki wouldn't pay much attention to. Haruki convinced her and she reluctently allowed the girl to stay. They called her Koji not knowing how to say her actual name. Over the next year, Haruki started to pay more attention to Kuri and Koji both. He even started to train Koji in self defense, still believing that someone would come for her. At the end of the first year with all four together, Mizuko got fed up with Haruki giving the girl special treatment. She took Kuri and left, moving a few villages away to her family's new home. Haruki was horribly devestated but turned his attention to Koji. He gave it another year before he accepted that Koji wasn't going anywhere. He saw Kuri quite often but never saw Mizuko again. When he was forty one Onitane returned. He fought with the demon but lost his right arm. Koji chased the demon off and after he recovered, he started training her in ninjutsu in case Onitane returned to get revenge on her. After the loss of his arm, Haruki had to switch from training samurai to giving small defense classes to women and children. It was a big blow for him. When he was forty four, he recieved news that Kuri had died in battle. Not even aware that his son had joined the army, this was especially hard for him to deal with. He even closed down the dojo for a few days just because he didn't want to see anyone. Zhek Vosyem came to the dojo a year later and offered Haruki a hefty dowery to marry Koji. Haruki allowed it but Zhek spent all his money and now was stuck on Hogosha. Haruki let the newlyweds stay at the dojo. He continued to train Koji as Zhek went to work as Haruki's groundskeeper to gain back some of the money. A year after the marriage, Koji and Zhek had a son, Aleksei. Haruki made the boy his heir. A month after Aleksei was born, Zhek went into the village to buy the family dinner. He didn't return. Haruki was furious but when he learned of demon worshipers known as Shirokage being very active in the area, he decided to give Zhek's characer the benifit of the doubt. He'd now lost a son and a son-in-law. He decided that he's try to train his adoptive grandson as soon as possible. He started getting Aleksei comfortable with holding a fist properly when he was forty seven. That same year a fourteen year old boy came to the dojo looking for a way to become a ninja. He could tell right away that Anastasius was very wealthy but decided to train him in exchange for him working around the dojo. When he was forty nine, Onitane appeared again. Haruki knew that he was no longer a match for this weak demon, but he knew Koji and Anastasius together could probably get rid of the demon and the Shirokage that followed him. He prepared them but during their preparations, Aleksei was taken by the Shirokage. Anastasius went after them but Koji had given up. Haruki knew that Anastasius would definatelu be killed if she wasn't with him and urged her to follow. A day after she left to get Anastasius, Hogosha was invaded by Zodiacus. The emporer decided to get rid of everyone who wasn't a full Hogoshain to make sure soldiers didn't hide out. With everyone he cared about not Hogoshain, Haruki tired to take action but he was simply just too old. Koji and Anastaius returned to Hi Dojo a few days after they left with Aleksei, Anastasius's missing cousin (Ai), a brothel runaway (Nayeli), and Zhek. Haruki gave them shelter at the dojo, since Ai was very injured, but the Hogoshain soldiers eventually got to their village. Haruki helped them escape onto some boats that had stopped at the docks. Koji asked him to come with them but he refused. Hogosha was his home even through the struggles. He's still hoping that they'll come back to see him. The dojo is very big and very empty.

I don't like how I wrote this out but that's okay. It looks more like and overview then an exposè. Yeah, so, that's Haruki. Good news for him is that Koji can come back because Zhek's a lord. Hogosha's not going to cut itself off from the nobility of other nations. A little about Hogosha, they're always at war. They've been at war with Zodiacus and Ludus for many many many years. They pretty much already took over Ludus. Zodiacus is really tiny compared to Ludus and Hogosha, but they're really tough. So, when they finally got into Hogosha, it really freaked out the emporer. We've got a character from Zodiacus. His name is Kahzun. He's not mine though so I don't know much about him. He's cool though. And Nayeli is half Ludus, so we got that too. And Haruki is going to get a really big surprise. Kuri isn't dead. I'll talk about him later though. It took me four hours to write this. Well, I started it and then had to run off to class.

Yeah, next time the Rixari flag and the Byely flag. That'll give me time to find someone else to do an exposè on. Have a good weekend.

   Zephyr Flag
Okay, the below image is obviously very copywrited by The Unsaid Works. It'll be on a t-shirt this summer along with the words 'Don't Mess With Zephyr' which is a spoof on the slogan for the state of Texas. They got that everywhere down there. I can't wait for my t-shirt!
So, about the flag. The blue symbolizes freedom, vigilance, perseverance, justice, prosperity, peace, and patriotism. That pretty much sums up the country right there. The otter represents one who lives life to the fullest. I made it white so that it also represents peace, purity, and innocence. The vol (set of wings) represents swiftness and protection. I made them black to also represent determination, heritage, and defeating enemies. I made them swallowed tailed frigate bird wings since those are all over Zephyr. That's why they look like cricket legs.



Alright, so, there's my flag. I hope it shows up okay on here. I'll do my next exposè on...someone. I was thinking Muunokhoi del Ignis but I don't have much on him. I could always do the whole family but I think it's more fun to talk about someone who's still alive. I'll do it on Haruki Ketsuenhi. Good night/morning.

   Cealleah Exposè
I'm too tired for just that plain mad face. I hate getting up early. I'm not a morning person. Stupid classes. I can sleep in on Thursdays though. I don't get the car today though and that'll be really annoying. My mom sometimes forgets to pick me up.

Alright, so let's get started with the exposè. First off, his name is Cealleah, pronounced 'see-all-ee-ah'. I had so much trouble trying to pronounce his name at first. And I'm going to set up his exposè a little differently since his character can be seen the clearest when he interacts with others. Before that I'll give a little bit of info on the family. Cealleah is the current head of the du Drake (of the dragon) family. He's in charge of Zephyr's fields and orchards, so the family is very important. The family also known for having bad blood with each other and they're very challenging of the von Bavol.
Cealleah was the fourth of four and second of two sons. The easiest way to describe Cealleah is misplaced ambition. He married young, at eighteen, and had two sons by the time he was twenty. Overal he's got four sons, one daughter, nine granddaughters, and eleven grandsons. As far as I know he's only got one or two great granddaughters currently. Now, getting aside he's a father, grandfather, and head of a powerful noble family, he's evil.
Cealleah and his father: Cealleah had a fairly easy relationship with his father, Hirsi. He looked up to him like a son should. He felt that he'd be favored as his successor, but that's not how precession works. He asked to be the successor since his older wasn't married. He was denied. He poisoned Hirsi and got away with it. Cealleah was only twenty.
Cealleah with his brother: Cealleah always had a resentment for his older brother, Amrit, but often played the part of the younger brother in public. After Hirsi "mysteriously" died, he started a whole out conflict with Amrit over the seat of the house. He had a lot of support since he was already married with two sons, but the family was willed to Amrit so Amrit took over. Their relationship became even more strained after that. Amrit eventually did marry and had a daughter. Terrified that the next child could be a son, ensuring Amrit's rule, Cealleah started spreading rumors that Amrit was severly depressed and then called him out to talk. Amirt accepted, more than happy to put their past behind him, and went to meet Cealleah. Cealleah killed him. It was ruled as an accident but Cealleah's rumors of depression led many of the du Drake to believe suicide. Very few thought murder. Cealleah at last had control of the family.
Cealleah and his sisters: Cealleah had two sisters, Ceri and Catori. He also had a sister-in-law, Papina. Catori was between Amrit and Cealleah, so she saw a lot of the tension had believed he killed their brother. Ceri was the very oldest and thought it was impossible for him to actually kill anyone. Papina believe it so much that she spent most of her free time trying to find evidence. She did, seventeen years after her husband died. She also started to suspect he killed Hirsi. Before she could say anything Cealleah poisoned her. Catori and Ceri fought over this and where Amrit's daughter would go, but the lords ruled in favor of Ceri and Cealleah and he was given custody.
Cealleah and his niece: Cealleah's niece, Ratri, is the same age as his only daughter, Zana. He didn't realise until after he gained custody how suspious it would be if she died. Afraid she might know something, he was with her constantly and forbade her to speak to nobility. When she married Teseo von Bavol (yeah, she's Anastasius's mom) he believed that she did it just to spite the family. This caused most of the du Drake to hate her.
Cealleah and the del Ignis: Cealleah loved to push his power around. No one was allowed to use his first name, with the exception of his wife. He even corrected his sisters when they used his name saying it was now Lord du Drake. He'd let it slide if another noble called him Lord Cealleah, but not often and only during the rule of Muunokhoi del Ignis. The du Drake and the del Ignis never got along, but Cealleah and Muunokhoi were bitter. They were only five years apart with Muunokhoi being the younger and Cealleah was terrified of him. He was the only nobility to disrespect him. During the time they ruled together, Cealleah was very quiet in his business. Once Muunokhoi died he picked up the pace and was back to slandering names and being a general annoyance. Muunokhoi wasn't murdered by Cealleah. Cealleah was too afraid of him. Years later Cealleah would attempt a coup that would ultimately be stopped because of the del Ignis family.
Cealleah as a father: Cealleah is a very strict father. His children had to call him Lord Father to keep him on his power trip. He was hardest on his sons and taught them to detest the von Bavol family. He was often seen with his daughter, Zana, as he was always trying to get Teseo and her together. He wanted her to be his link to the throne. It backfired and he pretty much started focusing on his sons after that.
Cealleah as a grandfather: It's the same story with his grandchildren. They had to call him Lord Grandfather. He was slightly easier on them but taught them to hate the von Bavol family. He used his oldest grandson, Rajan, to attempt the coup so that if they were caught Rajan would be hung instead of him. When the coup backfired, Cealleah was put under house arrest for six months and Rajan got off. He did come to his senses so now he and Cealleah are at odds.
Cealleah and the von Bavol: In his early days he sucked up to the von Bavol family. He allowed Iago von Bavol to call him Lord Cealleah, but this started to change. When Teseo was showing no interest in his daughter, he took to slandering Shadi's name. After Teseo and Ratri started courting, Cealleah gave Iago such a hard time that the very minute his first grandchild was born, he retired the throne to Teseo. Teseo and Cealleah were almost always at odds. Teseo was without a doubt the better man because he was always respectful to his uncle-in-law and always called him Lord du Drake. When Teseo died, Cealleah wasted no time in bothering the devestated family in attempts to get them to snap. He wore out Ratri after a year, and wore out emre after three. He looked likely to be the new over-ruler until Duscha stepped in as the first female over-ruler with full support from the del Ignis.
Cealleah and Shadi: Shadi and Cealleah's relation ship didn't start until Shadi was twelve and Cealleah was thirty three. Before then, Shadi was a common citizen and not worth Cealleah's attention. Iago took the throne but Cealleah spent most of his attention on Teseo, only slightly aware of Shadi's pressence. When Shadi was fourteen, Teseo showed no interest in Zana at a dinner and Cealleah started dragging Shadi's name through the mud as punishment. Shadi saved Teseo's life when he was sixteen, Cealleah's take on this was that they should leave him to the bandits. When he was eighteen, Shadi learned about the accusations around Cealleah and sympathized with him. Those sympathies lasted less then an hour. Cealleah spent quite a bit of his time talking against Shadi, so that when Shadi was put in charge of trades, no one was for it. Shadi wasn't so quiet about his view of Cealleah being power crazy. Just because they're pretty, Shadi used to take walks with Chik in the orchards. This infuriated Cealleah and he started spreading rumors that Shadi was seeing this woman because he had a hatred for Zephyr. Shadi and Cealleah were in a privet war. Cealleah slandered his name as much as humanly possible and Shadi would walk around the du Drake mansion grounds, or in the fields and orchards, barefoot. That was enough to make Cealleah angry. When Shadi came back from his five year absent with a very pregnant wife, Cealleah found him talking about his fears of fatherhood to Teseo. Cealleah challenged him on it, making Shadi lose his temper and pull his sword. Cealleah, embarrassed, spent the next six years of Shadi's life getting much of Zephyr to hate the wanderer. When Shadi died, Cealleah had a big family dinner. He also told Ai that Shadi never cared about him and that he secretly resented him for being born a little freak and taking away all his freedom. In truth, Cealleah hates Shadi so much because he could never control him. Teseo had to always be polite to him, but Shadi didn't. He was supposed to, but never was. Shadi always called him Cealleah.

Yeah, so, Cealleah is the most evil person in Zephyr history. He's our most evil human in Epic. When Epic starts, he's seventy three but still just as nasty and mean as ever. He's still unlinked to all three murders. Cealleah has light yellow eyes and dark blue hair. In the show, if we see him, you won't know any of this stuff. It's funny, in a few years when the show starts I'll have to delete either my archieves or this account. Well, everything on this site is copywrite The Unsaid Works. Have a good day. I'm putting up the Zephyr flag tomorrow.

   Shadi Exposé
I did the laughing smily because I'm tired but also like Shadi. I've got to get up early now. I start school again today. First up in Algebra, and they didn't tell me what room it's in. What a wonderful start.

Alright, so, the majortiy of this will be about Shadi von Bavol. I'm all pleased with myself for getting the thingy over the 'e' in exposé. Shadi has no clippets, but I'm out of those anyway. His name fully translated out means 'singer of the wind'. Family tree time! In Epic my two characters, Ai and Anastasius are cousins. You'll see a lot of them and they'll meantion Teseo von Bavol (founder of the wind) a few times. Teseo is Anastasius's father. Teseo is Shadi's older brother by a year. And Shadi is Ai's father. When Epic starts up, Teseo will have been dead for eight years. Shadi will have been dead for twelve. Kind of sad.

Now that you know which of the main-ish characters Shadi's connected to, I'll continue. He's really the best one for an exposé because it'll explain a good bit of the country.
Shadi was born the second child of the main von Bavol family. The main family is the most direct line from Ogen von Bavol (anchor of the wind, pronounced oo-gen). The oldest male of the main line is the one that rules Zephyr. While the vast majority of Zephyrians are very happy to stay in Zephyr for the rest of their lives, Shadi's restless. He often rents horses and rides out into the surrounding countries without his parents' knowledge, dragging Teseo with him. When he's sixteen, he's kidnapped because he told the bad guys he was his brother in order for Teseo to get away. He was alright afterwards. Shadi was a bit of a flirt and somewhat vain right up until he hit twenty five. He was the best looking of the von Bavol main family and wasn't shy about letting everyone else know it. He had tremendous confidense when it came to speaking, whether his audiance was merchants' daughters or the noble lords. There were times when he should've been in trouble but he could easily talk his way out. Very charismatic. Despite his charisma, he was very disliked by the nobility, especially Cealleah du Drake (pronounced see-all-e-ah).
Many things happen when he was twenty five. Cealleah had successfully slandered his name so that no one in their right mind would trust him. Ignoring that, which he did, Teseo had met Ratri du Drake, Cealleah's estranged niece, and he'd met Chik. When he was twenty seven, Teseo became the head of the country and he was appointed an aristocrat in charge of foreign trades. This was a dream come true for Shadi. He actually had premission from the country leader to leave the country for the good of the country. So, Shadi traveled around the world establishing trades and gaining allies for Zephyr. He married Chik when he was twenty eight but instead of settling down, she picked up and traveled with him. They had originally decided to never have children because of the traveling and danger they were usually in during the traveling. That changed when Shadi was thirty four. They made it back to Zephyr not a moment too soon, literally, as Ai was born two hours after they got into the country. Faced with the choice of retirement or leaving his family in Zephyr for possible years, Shadi picked retirement. It didn't last long. After a year, he went back to work with his family in tow. He had Chik were taken aboard a pirate ship when he was thirty nine. To save Zephyr from a possible war, Shadi blew out the bottom and everyone, inclueding he and Chik, drowned. He's survived only by Ai who he managed to get off the ship before they were attacked.

Alright, so, that's pretty much Shadi. Shadi was sort of the embodiment of freedom. He really did enjoy life and wandering the world. You can see a great deal of him in Ai, except that only you guys and Unsaid know Shadi so we're the only ones that can tell that. Here's a little bit more about him:

Hair color: dark purplish gray (I wish I knew how to put the color up)
Eye color: light turquiose (it's really pretty)
His hair style was long, but not long enough to get it all up in a ponytail. He always wore it in a ponytail and he usually had stubble. In short, he looked a great deal like a pirate. In Zephyr, the nobiliy is not allowed long hair or facial hair, with the exception of the del Ignis family. Most of their men have long hair. They're the Military so no one bothers them about it. Zephyr has seven cargo ships and the over-ruler (king) has a ship for entertainment. Shadi also owned his own ship, The Kokhanny Syn, which he bought after Ai was born. The name translated is 'the beloved son'. The interesting thing about Shadi was that he never actually lied. He lied to save Teseo, and he lied to keep his parents from worrying about him, but he was a very honest person. I only say that's strange because in Epic, if we go to Zephyr, he'll be meantioned but he'll be talked about as if he was a lying thieving criminal. I've got to go but I'll do my next exposé on Cealleah du Drake so that I can get in depth about the more thean rocky relationship he had with Shadi.

The von Bavol main family:
Ogen von Bavol (anchor of the wind, pronounced oo-gen, country founder)
Icabod von Bavol (departed glory of the wind, pronounced ick-a-bod- taken from Ichabod, only had one daughter so passed the family to his younger brother)
Ignatius von Bavol (fiery one of the wind, pronounced igg-nate-c-us, Icabod's younger brother, seen as Zephyr's greatest hero)
Washi von Bavol (eagle of the wind, pronounced wash-e, founder of the infamous Eagle's Law)
Jai von Bavol (victory of the wind, pronounced j-i, re-enforcer of the old laws)
Iago von Bavol (supplant of the wind, pronounced e-ah-go, first trades)
Teseo von Bavol (founder of the wind, pronounced tess-ee-oh, expanded trades)
