bored
I'm bored and my Algebra homework site just froze. Do tomorrow, yipee. I'm supposed to ramble about characters when I'm bored with nothing to say. I'm at the point in Mirror Image where it crosses over with Shattered, a story that follows this one kid that's meantioned and showed a couple times in Mirror Image. This kid, Torrance, has got to be one of my favorite characters. He makes me sad. Not depressed sad, just sad. I really really liked him though. I decided that Famous Last Words was the perfect song for him. I love that song. Anyway, Torrance Asgard Glazier, is a third generation Human Defender. A Human Defender, in the Mirror Image world, is a human that defends other humans from Zodes, who are also human. So it's all human on human fighting contact stuff. It's great, humans are so imperfect, I love it. Okay, well, the third generation of Human Defenders don't fight Zodes because they're all gone. They go around and do humanitary acts, assist police and firemen, and fight against Bloodeds. It's a lot of work. Ah, this is too complicated. I've completely gone off on Torrance and started trying to explain part of this saga.

Human Defenders: Currently there are three generations of Human Defenders. Human Defenders are humans that fight against Zodes, with the exception of the third generation. The first two generations have a very short life expectance, so rules were put into place to ensure they'd continue on. Big rule, you get married and have a kid at 16/17. If you get to that point you're survival rate goes way up if you're the lesser fighter of the two. There's a lot more rules and stuff but I won't go into it right now.
Zodes: Zodes are pure humans that were selected and prefected by Zodiacs. They're an army with over two hundred thousand active soldiers. The Zodes have two lines that are the best of the best, the McFly and the Nook. The McFly line broke off from the Zodes and was killed off except for the last two members, Broderick and Faith, twins. They joined up with the Human Defenders to fight the two surviving Nooks. Nooks are scary so I'm not going into them.
Blooded: Blooded refers to the third, four, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth generations of human and Zodiac mixes. A second generation is a Half-breed and a ninth generation is a Down-bred, also classified as a dangerous human.
Down-bred: Down-breds are classified as dangerous humans. They look exactly like humans except they're hardier. These guys can also become fledged, meaning a full Zodiac, but it's only happened once ever and will only ever happen that one time. Well, technically three but that's the whole Mirror Image story. It's three Down-breds becoming fledged. That's the first two and a quarter parts of the Mirror Image story, which has four parts just because it was so long. This is a saga afterall.
Stained Human: This isn't a technical term. These are humans that are ten to thirteen generations from a Zodiac ancestor. That's as far as you can go right now Once the fourteenth and so on generations come around they'll still be stained humans. These are just average humans. The only thing that you can't do as a stained human is be a Zode. You don't want to be a Zode so this is a bonus.
Shadow: A Shadow is a stained human who's fragmented Zodiac DNA was unstabled in the womb. They're still very human, but they don't look it so much and they need to stay on medication their whole lives or they wreak havoc. They are very rare but the illness in genetic. If a mother has is, most likely one of her children will. Shadows are the downside of being a stained human. They can feel when the Zodiacs are making movements of sorts. It often makes then sick. Zodiacs rarely make movements so the chances are they'll be fine.
Zeme: A Zeme is a servant creature to the Zodes and Zodiacs. They're human, dog, bat, trout. They were a failed experiment that turned into a blessing. They communicate to each other in high pitched squeaks. They understand their masters only and can transfer messages back to you using telepathy. The males get 24" and the females 19". They can live for about eighty years but rarely do. When a Zode dies, it's Zeme is "put down". They only obey the head of the Nook family, the Leader Dragon, and their master, so after the master is gone they're not needed. The males are highly aggressive around blood and need to be chained to the wall until the Zode has control. Because of this, Zodiacs and the head of the Nook family are the only ones allowed to own males. Zemes are also colored like dogs.
Zodiacs: Zodiacs are the orange eyed monsters (lovingly said) of great power. There are twelve species, each able to cross with humans but not with each other. This is because in the begaining Zodiacs were just a prettier version of it's animal counterpart. Most of the species were hunted into extinction by the humans and Dragons. Dragons have the fastest speed and outnumber the other species.
Leader Dragon: The Leader Dragon is the one Dragon that rules over all the Zodiacs undisputedly. They live for one thousand years and keep everything in the world at a balance. When a Leader starts getting close to the end of his life, chaos will slowly start creeping out into the world. After the Leader dies, the time gap between him and the next is one of complete destruction. The gap is two years at the most. A past Leader Dragon is called a Ruler Dragon. If I say Leader Dragon Zodi Mullryan, it means he's currently alive and ruling over the Zodiacs. If I say Ruler Dragon Zesiro (Mullryan), then he's dead.
Mullryan: A dream of many Zodiacs is to wipe a clan of humans off the planet. If they kill an entire bloodline, inclueing families of daughter who'd married into another name, they can take the last name. A Dragon did this many hundreds, probably thousands of years ago. So, the Dragons Mullryan are the most powerful with most of the Leader Dragons coming from that family. No one will ever succeed in doing what they did because people are so interwoven now that there'd be nearly none left.

I didn't tell a lot of the stuff, because I'm angry and I'm tired (for a change). That's just some random info on how some of the stuff works in the Mirror Image world. Everything is copywrite Blue Swallow Productions.
