More Gosamyrs!

From top left to bottom right:

Hiro d'Leon Botan Devereaux Rukia Sauveterre Kasuka Bellerose

Again, considering the Yabanverse is no longer purely OC and Zarbon's race/Brenchians now can exist even in Universe 23, the point of the Gosamyrs is a bit reduced. But "turbo-80s kung fu elves" is fun, so I don't care, they're staying!

Generally the gist with their naming is "take Japanese first name and French surname, voila you have a Gosamyrian name."

"But how does that work? Why do France and Japan exist on Planet Sarrat?"

eats chips and lies

Bonus!

Rukia Sauveterre and Mariko Lavigne

do you ever look at a character's name and you're just like -- where in the absolute fuck did I get this from????

[s0larseraph]

im not like. a prophet or a seer or whatever but i do feel like the third person narration of the book im in is comedically meta

A little backstory:

When Sarrat was 15, she met a large group of 15 year olds who were as obsessed with Hetalia just like her. For several years they did a big party on the UN day to celebrate how this show bought them together, and they had food and games and little gifts. The time passed and many grew apart so the party became a gathering and later it just stopped...

BUT, after finding out someone was organizing a new party, we got in contact with each other and even if the organizers weren't part of our original group, the remaining ones of said group and I decided to have a mini gathering. Maybe we won't have games and all like in the past, but we will give each other gifts. And yee, this is what I'm doing for them cuz I was lazy and forgot we were supposed to do gifts. I still have 8 more to do before I send it to the printing place, wish me luck.

Gotta love Korean reaction memes.

Numenera Setting Notes: Points of Interest Part I

Just while I’m reading through the core Numenera books (Numenera: Discovery and Numenera: Destiny), plus the Ninth World Guidebook, I figured I’d keep some notes on bits of the setting that immediately jumped out to me. You know. Bits and bobs that would immediately make me want to set a story in or around them, or little details that just make me happy.

Starting from the core book, Numenera: Discovery, and a little bit from the Ninth World Guidebook, and just going with the Steadfast, the group of kingdoms that are the main ‘civilised’ part of the setting.

Part I: The Steadfast (Numenera: Discovery)

The Amber Monolith, in Navarene, a vast floating crystal obelisk in the sky that the original Amber Pope said contained a teleporter to a ‘numenera edifice floating high above the earth’. A satellite installation? Because an ancient religious edifice central to your setting’s main religion that teleports you up to an orbital facility is not at all ominous.

The City of Bridges, in the Sea Kingdom of Ghan, is an offshore capital city for a merchant naval nation that is possibly built on an ancient mining rig. The city is series of anchored metal platforms linked by bridges, including bridges linking back to the mainland, and several of those anchored platforms having what might be ancient drilling machines at the top. And, just, maritime port city with a sailor king that’s built on an ancient mysterious mining facility, there’s nothing wrong in that sentence at all.

Castle Sarrat, in Draolis, which is a self-sufficient, self-expanding building that was taken over by a noble family with a martial bent and immediately started growing. As in physically. As in the building is growing upwards and just sprouts new corridors, rooms or entire storeys every so often. So a) I am getting Gormenghast vibes, and b) it’s your own personal self-growing megadungeon.

The Fourth Mark, an ancient coastal tower in Draolis, because: “That old eyesore gets its name from a legend my grandpappa told me. Folks from that time says there was, back then, more of ’em— four to be all exact. All of ’em standing watch over the firth there. Called ’em the four marks, like they’s marked some special spot or some such. They also says that some folks a-came from across the sea and entered each of ’em, one at a time, and when they’s done, each of them towers sunk into the sea. But when they got to the last one, somethin’ scared ’em outta there. They left it, and there it stands still today.” Very Formorian, Subnautica, who were the people from the sea, and why did this facility, of the four, abruptly resist entry and go dark? (Interestingly, later on we find out that the Eldan Firth, the bay that the Marks are built around, does have an intelligent octopus civilisation in it, ruled by the Octopoidal Queen, which really makes me want to get my pulp sci-fi on in this high science fantasy setting over here)

Rachar, in Iscobal, is a city built entirely inside a prior-age ruin, because then you have a lot of buildings already pre-built to just take over, but there’s also a significant amount of ruined-prior-age-city weirdness knocking around like talking statues, moving walls, misfiring energy fields, etc. There’s a massive hovering ancient vehicle of some kind permanently parked over the city, which is inoperative but used as a lookout post. Also, for fun points, there’s a plaza called the Gelatinous Pavillion which is covered by a canopy of ever-shifting coloured gel, which is just fun.

Rarmon, in the Pytharon Empire, is a city defended by an orrery. A massive metal orrery of the solar system sits within the city, and it can be raised up above the city and the giant electromagnet within the mini-sun can be used as a defensive weapon slash death ray. By the 3ft tall engineer named Garrot who’s in charge of the orrery. This is all excellent.

The Weeping Wanderer of Milave: “An ancient automaton wanders the roads of Milave, damaged and asking for help. However, the fluids it leaks are debilitating and hallucinogenic to humans”. Sidenote: I do like the sidebar each kingdom gets with the ‘hearsay’ and ‘weird’ of the kingdom, you get lovely little gems like this.

The Transparent Palace, the home of the Ancuan king. I just like glass, and an entire castle made of stronglass pleases me. I also like the detail that Ancuani people ride rasters, which are giant biomechanical bat-creatures, and you can have entire pirate groups swooping down to battle on them. The book is clear to note that the Angulan Knights, the Steadfast’s paladin-esque order of protectors, fly on xi-drakes, giant white dragon/dinosaur/pokemon looking flying reptiles, so if you have a battle between a group of xi-drake mounted Angulans and a group of rastar-mounted Ancuani pirates, it’s … a sight. White knights on dragons vs pirates on cyborg bats. Ancuan as a kingdom just really wants to be the cover of a heavy metal album, and I do love that for them.

Kaparin, a coastal city in Ancuan, the home of the Redfleets, a ‘crew of vagabonds, thieves, scientists and other miscreants’, who sail the seas (in both ships and submarines) in search of natural, as in non-numenera treasure, and maintain a maritime museum. They’re basically a roving criminal gang of marine biologists and oceanographers, which is the wildest and best set of words to put together, and I’m in love.

Sea of Secrets. “It’s said that somewhere to the far south is a city frozen in solid ice, reachable only by a stout ship and a brave and experienced captain.” I am a simple woman and I’m always up for frozen polar cities reachable only by sea (or air). Especially in a science fantasy universe like this.

And then one more Steadfast location from the Ninth World Guidebook:

The Canyon of Blades in Pytharon. It’s a canyon full of 15ft tall razor grass that can and will cut you to ribbons, and is tough as all hell to boot. Which. I do love some plants making life difficult for everyone. But. The thing that tickles me is that there’s a village in the canyon whose people just use stilts to get around it without getting themselves shredded to pieces and/or having to spend endless hours trying to hack their way through it. They use the stilts to hunt kolod, little armoured creatures that live in the grass, and the detail that really tickles me is that the village has an Aeon Priest (techpriest) who is desparate for someone to talk to about anything that isn’t kolod hunting. I mean, ideally science and numenera, like in his job description, but honestly any non-kolod related conversation will do. I love him already. His main job in the village is just repairing the stilts. He’s so tired. I love him. There’s also a mercenary company nearby who got themselves permanently semi-time shifted by a nano a while back, so they’re constantly shifting between the present and 30 years ago, and while in the past they’re trying not to influence things, but also they’re impatiently waiting for the previous aeon priest to invent the stilts, and she hasn’t yet, so now they’re wondering if they’re supposed to be doing a Scotty from Star Trek with his transparent aluminium on it and give her a hint. Which is just fantastic.

I’m liking the coastline, I am noticing this. But if you’re in a wonderous science fantasy world littered with the ruins and vast incomprehensible objects of prior lost civilisations, there’s just something about maritime mysteries. Ancient oil rigs/mining platforms turned cities, strange towers that alone of their sunken brethren resisted their purpose, lost polar cities across the oceans to the south. And you can’t give me an entire fleet of pirate oceanographers and expect me not to jump at them?

I also just really enjoy the tendency of this setting to have entire powers and polities and towns centered entirely around one single weird edifice or effect of ancient science-magic. Every town or village or city you go to has its own unique bit of weirdness, without even getting into all the random bullshit out in the wilderness like telepathic faces in cliffs and ominous monoliths that drink rivers and looming Atlantean towers that refused to sink.

I’m getting my full dose of awesome weirdness out of this setting, and it’s making me very happy.

Urban physics is a core area being applied in every dimensions of the society, from studying climate change to accessing security and aging. Consequently, it is important to study the aspects the that contribute to the importance of urban physics. Computational fluid mechanics (CFD) is a numerical simulation method used as assessment tool in urban physics, besides various reduced-scale laboratory measurements. In which case, the study of CFD implies the review of engineering of physical processes found in industrial areas in the urban zones. The adoption of computational fluid mechanics has seen it exhibit various fruitful transition, from a mere field to an increasingly developed field in practice and design. This literature review, in form of a position paper, provides a theoretical background of the CFD plus supporting views about its mechanism and its usage within our organization. This will involve studying aspects of technical challenges associated with using the tool within the organization. Further, possibilities and limitations are also presented to further the exploration of how CFD applies to urban physics. Intuitively, this will provide a benchmark for measuring the spatial and temporal scales that can be associated with the position of computational fluid mechanics. Finally, it would be important to scale the position of the review by focusing on the technical aspects of using CFD in the organization. For this reason it would be possible to extensively discover the future of CFD in urban physics. Introduction In mostly urban areas, especially in the industries, urban physics is a core field in facilitating various physical processes. Essentially the field deals with the transmission of heat and mass experienced in the outdoor and indoor for the urban environment. Further, it focuses this concept of heat and mass transmission to its interaction with human and materials used in production. Conclusively, an organization is likely to apply this field ensuring a healthy and sustainable outdoor and indoor environment through encompassing all the associated constraints such as security, energetic and health, all which are considered as grand societal challenges. For this particular reasons, urban physics with all its components is adopted widely across engineering disciplines, scaling from mechanical to electrical engineering. One of the major component that makes urban physics formidable is Computational Fluid Dynamics mainly used in numerical simulation within the particular organization. This technique of numerical simulation, for CFD, makes possible the successful operation of other components of urban physics: field measurement and full-scale or reduced-scale wind-tunnel measurements (Tan et al, 2015, 76). CFD, as numerical simulation tools acts as an effective alternative in the organization given that it can avoid limitations associated with the other tools. This challenges include multitphase flow problems and buoyant flow problems, specifically experienced by both field measurement and wind-tunnel measurement. It can provide thorough data on the pertinent flow variables in the whole calculation domain (“whole-flow field data”), under contained conditions and without similarity limitations (Emmanuel & Kruegler, 2010, 112). However, the accuracy of CFD comes into play as an important aspects which must be put in control. Especially, this must include taking into control geometrical implementation associated with the model and understanding of the results in the event of choosing the proper solution strategies. The selection process including making choices between various options; the steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach, the unsteady RANS (URANS) approach, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) or hybrid URANS/LES (Sarrat et al, 2006, 1750). Further, errors arising from numerical and modeling must be taken into consideration through verification and validation to contain them within the system. Further, the validation process might also require the use of high-quality data as compared to other simulation models. The literature review, in form of a position paper, provides a theoretical background of the CFD plus supporting views about its mechanism and its usage within our organization. This will involve studying aspects of technical challenges associated with using the tool within the organization. Further, possibilities and limitations are also presented to further the exploration of how CFD applies to urban physics. Intuitively, this will provide a benchmark for measuring the spatial and temporal scales that can be associated with the position of computational fluid mechanics. Read the full article

History

September 11, 2001 - The worst terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred as four large passenger jets were hijacked then crashed, killing nearly 3,000 persons. Four separate teams of Mideast terrorists, operating from inside the U.S., boarded the morning flights posing as passengers, then forcibly commandeered the aircraft. Two fully-fueled jumbo jets, American Airlines Flight 11 carrying 92 people and United Airlines Flight 175 carrying 65 people, had departed Boston for Los Angeles. Both jets were diverted by the hijackers to New York City where they were piloted into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The impact and subsequent fire caused both 110-story towers to collapse, killing 2,752 persons including hundreds of rescue workers and people employed in the towers. In addition, United Airlines Flight 93, which had departed Newark for San Francisco, and American Airlines Flight 77, which had departed Dulles (Virginia) for Los Angeles, were hijacked. Flight 77 with 64 people on board was diverted to Washington, D.C., then piloted into the Pentagon building, killing everyone on board and 125 military personnel inside the building. Flight 93 with 44 people on board was also diverted toward Washington but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to overpower the terrorists on board.

Birthday - Ferdinand Marcos (1917-1989) was born in Sarrat, Philippines. He ruled the Philippines from 1966, imposing an authoritarian regime until he was ousted in 1986.
