I believe Gabriel and V1 have that drone…
If the other angels meet it, how do they react? How does that little drone react?
(see this!)
since it no longer has a weapon, the drone is usually very wary of new people and only allows itself to be curious when it's in gabriel or v1's presence. new angels would be particularly frightening for it, despite how interesting it finds them - they look a lot like gabriel, and so it really wants to get to know them since he's been so nice! but each one gives very different vibes that really determine how much the drone chooses to come out from behind gabe or v1.
raphael of course is the easiest - he's curious about the drone too, and he finds its little chirps to actually be quite charming! he's learning to appreciate the machines in some way, knowing it's not their fault that they were created as they are, and he enjoys meeting one now that's entirely peaceful (even if not exactly by choice). in the back of his mind he does think it's a bit sad that gabriel can't have a real pet, and he does wonder about the capacity of the digital mind to be like theirs, but he will admit the drone is cute regardless!
uriel brings a nervous energy to the interaction that causes the drone to be more cautious around him, but he's truly interested in it too - it's just that it can move unpredictably and it doesn't have the capacity to communicate, so they end up frightening each other a few times. uriel is in general much more....wary of machines, believing them to be something impossible to understand given how their mind was not made by god and acts only in accordance to manmade principles (that he certainly believes humans themselves didn't understand), so he's not about to play with it or pet it. but it is a much safer way for him to observe a machine, so he's at peace with it once he starts understanding how it moves.
if michael could get to see the drone (maybe at a point where he and gabriel are trying to sort things out a bit less violently), he doesn't like it (surprise) as he finds machines to be human abominations. this one doesn't particularly garner much ire from him though, considering how simple it is and it's more like a toy in his eyes...but it concerns him somewhere how much gabriel surrounds himself in this artificiality. a machine pet and a machine partner? he's unconvinced that they love at all, and that gabriel has forgotten the true connection of emotion even on this basic of a level. but he's fallen, so it's expected. i do very much like the drone being a sort of litmus test though that shows michael's shifting view of machines as he gets to know v2 - when he's suddenly giving it a little pat and it chirps in response without fear, gabriel KNOWS something's up!!!!!
#gabe: did you just pet my drone#mike: what drone#i think it with uriel is the cutest tho.....#they're both scared of each other but then uriel starts trying to learn all about machines from it#(he wants to learn so bad but this is his only safe zone. one broken drone lol)#(like of course he has the capacity to destroy pretty much any machine in combat but.)#(uriel just hates fighting it is NOT his comfort zone lol)#cake answers#rise and fall au

Sonic Franchise OCs and Character Adaptations
Hello all, today I am taking the plunge and crafting some Original Characters for the Sonic Franchise of Video Games, Comics, TV Series, and Movies! As well as adapting one of the Franchise’s characters a bit, nothing too serious though I don’t think. Everybody Clap Your Hands!!
Brawl the Hedge-Wolf
Alignment: Chaotic Good/Chaotic Neutral
Quote: “For things to change, something is lost. Fact.”
Personality: Brash and blunt, and sort of dense, Brawl has a nasty temper and is slow to understand a situation, yet nonetheless he cares for others and wants to make the world better in his own way. Of course, his idea of better can sometimes leave something to be desired. One of his prominent traits is his genuine fondness and desire to protect kids and make them laugh, and he often grows distressed at the of people finding him frightening in any way.
Synopsis: Created from the Data Dark Gaia acquired from Sonic’s Werehog state, Brawl is the latest variant of Dark Gaia’s Apostles, beings dedicated to preventing the stagnation of the world by destroying that which threatens to leave the world still and unchanging. Despite the cringy edgelord vibes this gives, Brawl is very much dedicated to his mission, constantly traveling to find new irregularities that are threatening to overly stabilize the world, particularly for the worse.
History: Brawl is a Hedge-Wolf, a completed version of Sonic’s unstable Werehog form. The Werehog state that Sonic once held was a result of him being infused with Dark Gaia’s power and being transformed into an artificial Apostle, something that left him unbalanced and dangerous to himself and potentially others. Dark Gaia’s Apostles have always existed, but they usually assume the twisted forms of Dark Gaia’s Minions, and often have limited capacities for true intelligence and ingenuity. To counter this, and to ensure that they are only unleashed under the correct circumstances, Dark Gaia used the data it gained from absorbing Sonic’s Werehog state to construct a new champion.
Powers: As a result of intensive study on Sonic’s Werehog form, and his natural state to boot, Brawl possesses all the abilities of Sonic’s Werehog form, but with something of a twist. Unlike the slow, lumbering pace of Sonic’s Werehog, Brawl is quite fast; he isn’t as fast as Sonic, but he can still outrace the vast majority of vehicles, be they of land, sea, or sky, and can even mimic some of Sonic’s battle techniques, such as the Spin Dash and Homing Shot, albeit with his personal twist.
Brawl’s use of the Spin Dash is far less controlled and movement oriented than Sonic’s being more akin to a Buzz-saw being launched from a cannon than anything else, and once he assumes it, he has difficulty changing directions before he hits something. Brawl’s version of the Homing Shot is more along the lines of a headlong rush towards a target, lacking the ability to follow up into an additional shot like the original could, but counter-balances by allowing Brawl to instantly break into a sprint upon a hit and resume attacking.
Fighting Style: Brawl’s fighting style is far more fast-paced than the lumbering barrage of attacks Sonic adopted during his stint as Werehog, taking advantage of his habit of using his speed by traveling upon all fours to attack by turning his body into a living missile, combining his strength, speed, and momentum to send anything and everything he hits flying. He rarely fights standing, but when he does, Brawl typically uses his elastic limbs to grab his enemies and throw them clear, either to give himself room to charge them, or to use them as ammunition to take out multiple foes at once. While not the quickest thinker, Brawl has a knack for tactics, easily employing and executing ambushes and hit-and-run strikes as he pleases.
Appearance: Brawl largely resembles Sonic’s Werehog state, albeit with a more balanced build, having a leaner torso and less bulbous fists, though they are still pretty big. Brawl is noticeably taller than Sonic, standing a full two-heads above the speedy Hedgehog, and lengthier legs to accommodate his height. Brawl’s most distinguishing trait, however, are the tribalistic markings of his fur, giving him a oddly wild and mystic look to him.
Sticks the Badger
Alignment: Chaotic Good/Neutral Good
Quote: “They say I’m crazy, and I am! Crazy prepared.”
Personality: Paranoid, and something of a loner, Sticks is slow to trust and slower to accept the help of others. Regardless, Sticks genuinely cares about people underneath her suspicious demeanor, and will often lend a hand as needed. Sticks has a fervent belief in the reliability of nature, and often grows annoyed by the reliance on technology of others, and takes extra joy from trashing the tech of Mechanically inclined villains like Eggman. Blunt and to the point, Sticks has little care for social niceties, often resulting in her unintentionally angering people, though she is usually genuinely confused why people would be upset with her for her comments.
Synopsis: Growing up in the wild, Sticks has an unusual affinity for nature and has a prominent distaste for those who push for development, though she is willing to admit, however grudgingly, that people do need places to live and grow. Sticks often stays behind the scenes, only engaging when someone is stupid enough to mess with the forests and jungles she places under her protection, or those who try and exploit nature’s bounty for selfish and stupid reasons. Despite her distaste for tech, Sticks possesses remarkable talent at working with it, being able to successfully repair even some of the most complex and delicate of machines when needed. Don’t tell her I told you that.
History: Sticks first came to the attention of Sonic and his friends when reports of a strange wild-girl destroying machines needed to develop land came in. After several tense confrontations, Sticks revealed that the forest the development was taking place on was protected due to the rare and endangered plants and animals who called it home, and that the developers were moving dangerous chemicals and substances through the area, in other words, dumping toxic waste and chemicals illegally and using urban development to cover it up. After the reveal, Sticks became an on-again off-again ally of the team, joining up on missions whenever it looked like nature was being threatened, or when technology was being abused.
Powers: In terms of more supernatural abilities, Sticks is far from lacking, as she possesses two very deadly skills for combat; natural psychometry and aura manipulation. Her psychometry allows her to read the past or near future of plants, animals, and natural structures near her, and it often acts as her early warning system of threats against the environment. Sticks gained her ability in aura manipulation during an as of yet unknown adventure during her youth, the memory of which is lost to her; her usage of aura allows her to reinforce and augment objects, tools, and weapons using her own life force, though it isn’t something she uses much due to how draining it is.
In terms of more mundane skills, Sticks is something of a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to survival and nature. Sticks has extensive knowledge of the skills and training one needs to live in the wild, and is a confirmed expert in the creation and usage of traps, camouflage, and tracking. A deft hand with thrown weapons in general, Sticks is a Master at using Boomerangs to fight, with her personal Boomerang being carved with mystic wood to grant it a supernaturally sharp edge when thrown and to ensure it always returns to her, no matter how long it takes or how far it has to go. Sticks has an extremely keen eye for detail, and as a result can breakdown and identify the nature of an enemy’s combat techniques rather quickly; she can also use this talent to mimic and copy engineering and mechanical skills, something she employs grudgingly but effectively as needed.
Fighting Style: Sticks is almost assassin-like in her approach, often avoiding direct fights when possible, and using her skills at stealth to strike from her enemies blind-spots and general weak-points. Sticks usually fights by either throwing her boomerang in precision hits, or by rushing in close and using her boomerang as either a knife or club to end a fight quickly. A downside to her preferred fighting style is that Sticks is rather fragile to direct blows, something she usually tries to keep from getting around, but her acrobatic abilities enable her to avoid most blows that would give her immediate trouble, though not all.
Appearance: Largely the same as her Sonic Boom appearance, but trading her skirt for a pair of shorts, and holsters on her back and sides to store her boomerang. She also wears a pair of combat boots to give her better traction in the types of environments she usually favors, plus she thinks they look awesome to boot (Forgive the pun, I’m exhausted right now).
Well, I got this done, let me know what you all think!

New Post has been published on Cloudlight
New Post has been published on https://cloudlight.biz/the-fight-over-obamacare-is-hurting-health/
The fight over Obamacare is hurting health
The trendy effort to update Obamacare has serious effects for hundreds of thousands of Americans who depend on government-backed fitness care. But it has additionally solid uncertainty on hiring in the fitness care enterprise, which has been a using pressure inside the united states monetary recuperation and growth.
Since the begin of the recession, the fitness care industry has created 2.5 million new jobs in hospitals,
Nursing homes, and health practitioner’s workplaces. Aging baby boomers and the developing quantity of senior citizens who need fitness offerings has led to the higher call for health care people. The passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, which required all Americans to buy medical insurance and multiplied federal subsidies, also recommended hiring.
The today’s jobs record, launched Friday
Shows just how plenty the fitness care region maintains to fuel activity boom. The US economy brought 211,000 jobs in April, consistent with the estimates launched Friday by means of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s greater than double the quantity for March, which was surprisingly low. Aside from entertainment and hospitality jobs, some of the largest activity gains got here from hiring inside the health care zone, which brought 20,000 jobs. Nurses, physicians, and home health aides were many of the maximum in-call for positions.
The Secrets of Scientific Street Fighting
Scientific street preventing is all approximate knowledge the human bodies physiological response to a fight and knowledge the effectiveness of diverse avenue combating strategies based totally on statistics.
Scientific road combating might also sound complex but it is now not. It is actually quite simple. The satisfactory element is it’s far virtually less complicated than getting to know a martial artwork. The key is that medical avenue fighting eliminates showing difficult to do moves in want of simple techniques which have a confirmed music report of fulfillment.
So here we go…
How Your Body Reacts To A Street Fight:
The first component many humans notes (and the most important matters with regards to fighting) is that your palms start to shake. This isn’t always a sign which you are scared; it’s far your body’s natural reaction to a life threatening scenario.
What does this suggest for medical road fighting?
It way that first-class motor competencies shut down, things like handwriting or complicated martial arts moves (like joint locks that require several steps). This is seriously vital so pay interest.
Why inside the international might your frame shut down first-class motor abilities whilst your life is being threatened? The component is your body sacrifices first-class motor skills for increased electricity and pace in gross (or large) motor abilities. These are a good deal extra essential things like going for walks, jumping, punching, and kicking.
The key to clinical avenue preventing is knowing this response
And growing a combating gadget that takes complete advantage of your stronger and quicker gross motor capabilities. Don’t even waste some time looking to research complicated moves your frame simply may not let you use in the warmness of the moment.
The lack of excellent motor talent is via some distance the most crucial part of clinical street preventing however here are a few more response which can be pretty cool:
Your pores and skin will pass faded because your body is limiting blood drift to the skin. This reduces blood loss from shallow cuts and scrapes you may probably get hold of.
To shop electricity you mind stops recording as many quick term memories. This is why human beings regularly can not do not forget precisely what passed off after a disaster or fight.
There are a number of other really cool matters your frame does to get you equipped for a combat, however, when it comes to clinical road fighting the number one component to reflect consideration on is specializing in gross motor capabilities.
ObamaCare, An Epic Failure Indeed
President Donald Trump plans to have his administration paintings with Congress to “repeal and replace” ObamaCare. Our President believes that there are a few excellent provisions inside the law – no denial of medical insurance for existing health troubles and the capacity for dad and mom to preserve their kids on their health plans properly into their 20s. Sure, sounds suitable. Of route, the left does not need the proper to touch ObamaCare and previous President Obama is worried that repealing the AHA – Affordable Healthcare Act destroys his management legacy – and maybe he is right?
Recently, right after the 2016 Presidential Election, I heard a highbrow declare that ObamaCare brought 20 million – folks who never had insurance earlier than. ObamaCare did not upload 20 million. It brought 14 million in case you depend on the quantity of those who have been insured who lost their coverage and have been pressured into ObamaCare. But even that quantity is incorrect as it fast became 12 million and is now at 10.Five million (November 28, 2016). We have 325 million or greater in the US now (no longer such as the unlawful aliens which we definitely haven’t any clue as to exactly how many are here).
Think of this Ten Percent is 32.5 million. 10 million is much less than three% of our populace,
All of the whilst everybody else’s health insurance for the duration of that time went up one hundred%. I’d had been k with it, if my health insurance most effective went up by way of that 10% and 32 million uninsureds were then insured, but their guarantees rang hollow – ObamaCare is an EPIC Failure. Even PEW Research (k-avenue law office/Left-Leaning Think Tank) says ObamaCare simplest brought 12 million and hasn’t up to date that discern on the grounds that.
Worse, in lots of states human beings most effective have one desire now for his or her health insurance and in some states no picks. All the while forty% of the ObamaCare signal-u.S.A.Have not paid their charges. The younger wholesome human beings had been priced out of the medical health insurance marketplace, those millennials are had to pay in and offset the charges so older individuals who do often need fitness care offerings can keep their coverage prices less expensive. It didn’t paintings; ObamaCare is a Flop.
Realize that no one is going to die in the streets without healthcare coverage
Despite the fact that they temporarily don’t have it. You see, it is against the law for an emergency room to not treat a human in immediate need. Further the HIPPA rules (Yes, Bush) killed off maximum of the loose-clinics in large towns because of costs to cope with all those new policies – IT needs, charges to improve – I count on HIPPA regs had been partly because of Silicon Valley lobbyists who like Technocrats assume with computers you could run and manipulate everything. Anyway, because of this and unlawful extraterrestrial beings taking walks into medical institution emergency rooms inflicting a few two hundred hospitals to shut, maximum in poorer regions or near the border — We destroyed our fitness care machine, created a monster and allowed socialists to hijack 1/fifth of our financial system.
It wasn’t just ObamaCare, however, ObamaCare became no answer both, it made it so much worse – and yes, healthcare Ins. Lobbyists wrote that bill and that they signed it to see what became of it. “It changed into a 3000-web page turn and Obama’s legacy is crap,” a few say. I bet I agree, how approximately you (in hindsight of course)?
Gut Health and Autoimmune Disease
One of the most important recent clinical revelations is the critical connection between intestine health and wellness. Ongoing scientific studies indicate that the microbiome, the best bacteria in our intestine, facilitates save you (possibly even heal) autoimmune sicknesses. In truth, our bodies are full of extra wholesome micro organism than real human cells!
Being that the intestine is the center of our immune device (making up almost 80 percentage), it is enormously crucial to develop nourishing exercises and practices. Although a healthful microbiome is partially inherited, there are many alternatives you may make to make sure a functioning, protected and flourishing immune machine – study on below to analyze extra!
Link to Autoimmune Diseases.
Characterized through the immune gadget concentrated on ordinary proteins as although they may be harmful invaders, there are over eighty kinds of autoimmune diseases. This excessive alert response results in a chronically infected immune system. Often debilitating, autoimmune diseases along with rheumatoid arthritis or celiac disease have a big impact on normal lifestyles. Increasing numbers of medical experts agree with that microbiome imbalances can play a component in triggering autoimmune troubles.
Poor Dietary Choices.
The maximum foundational element of preserving a healthful gut is organizing excellent dietary habits. An eating regimen with high quantities of subtle carbohydrates, sugar, and alcohol can increase your intestine’s manufacturing of terrible micro organism and weaken its lining. However, there are countless meals you could upload in your food plan to help facilitate better gut fitness. Be positive to are seeking for out plenty of meals packed with probiotics (or right micro organism) which includes yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, miso paste, sourdough, and pickles. In addition, a weight loss program wealthy in prebiotics will assist to feed those true probiotics. Add for your weight loss plan masses of fruits and vegetables full of fiber such as berries, leafy inexperienced veggies, and cruciferous veggies.
