#bulletproof web design

[bookfangeek]

Could you please provide a list of each one of the power pills friends/ other important people from their part of the webcomic? i keep getting confused between each character friends….😭

:D

OC INFORMATION REQUESTED

Okay this is gonna be a long one strap in.

Also, have a little key for how important to the plot all the characters are

MAIN CHARACTER/VILLAIN | MAJOR PLAYER | MEDIUM PLAYER | MINOR PLAYER | JUST THERE TO GIVE A CHARACTER A FRIEND

TEAM SOUL SEER

CALEB BUDDE | SOUL SEER

The first member of the Power Pills. He's shy, awkward, and is somehow the unofficial leader of the Power Pills. Mostly everyone looks to him to make the final call on stuff because he's been around the longest.

GUY FOUST

Caleb's roommate and best friend. Went with Caleb during his first superhero mission and got physically shot while there.

KATE DHANANI

A friend of Guy's who eventually became a friend of Caleb's. She's the martial arts trainer for the Power Pills.

AVERY RODRIGUEZ

The first supervillain created by Future Tech. He's 16 years old and was given to Future Tech as an experiment by his parents in exchange for promotions.

TRAVIS BIRMAN

Guy's childhood friend and Merri's boyfriend. He's just the only friend character who doesn't know that his friend is a superhero.

TEAM WAX GUISE

DAN WIRSCH | WAX GUISE

The second member of the Power Pills. He's the literal embodiment of a theater kid. Despite his energetic and carefree attitude, he's one of the smartest members of the team.

JASON KENDI

Jason is Dan's roommate and the go-to costume designer for the Power Pills. He's a MASSIVE nerd and loves doing closet cosplay. He seems to have some kind of connection to Lightbringer.

LUCY CIPHER

The manager (and drum player) of Dan's band. She matches him in energy and personality.

NICO HYLAND

Lucy's fiancee and the keyboardist for Dan's band. He's the type to sit back and listen to Lucy's energetic ramblings for hours.

MAX ARMIJO

Dan's second roommate and lead guitarist for Dan's band. He's a more successful actor than Dan and does his best to help Dan get roles.

TEAM BULLETPROOF

MERRI BODKIN | BULLETPROOF

The third member of the Power Pills. She's a sweet-hearted individual with boundless optimism. She's the heart of the group. However a lot of her personality DOES come from the fact that she's a Catholic and her suppressed frustration tends to come out when she's fighting as Bulletproof in the form of a SUPER brutal fighting style.

AMBER LUPE

One of Merri's best friends. She is just as kind and sweet as Merri, but much less energetic.

PERCY VAN STONE

Merri's foil. She is energetic, she is bold, she loves everything Merri hates.

TEAM QUICKWIT

KRISTY EDA | QUICKWIT

The fourth member of the Power Pills and the resident "basically normal guy but with a bow" of the team. She's an independent artist trying to make it in the art world.

GEMMA VOSS

The sculptor to Kristy's painter. She has almost no shame and has no problems both speaking and acting her mind.

JAKE WESTLAKE

Probably also an artist of some kind but we haven't seen them do any sort of art so I'm not sure. They're relentlessly supportive of their friends.

TEAM STREAMLINE

Hahaaaa oh god sorry, Tate.

TATE PALMER | STREAMLINE

Tate is the fifth member of the Power Pills as well as the most energetic. She's a massive cosplayer and makes her living selling her work online.

TEAM THE WEB

(boy that one doesn't have a ring to it at ALL, does it)

SIBYL DEMIR | THE WEB

Sibyl is the sixth and newest member of the Power Pills. He's the resident scientist, studying biology. He's been through a lot, but once he settles into a network of supporting friends, he reveals that he is a a snarky, strong-willed man.

SEBASTIAN CROWL

A superpowered cult member who saved Sibyl and Caleb's lives when they were captured. He sacrificed himself to help the two of them escape. His status is unknown though he reassured Sibyl that the cult wouldn't kill him.

BENNY O'KEEFE

Benny is Sibyl's biology teacher and is the person who helped Sibyl through the darkest moment of his life.

VINNY RAMONE

Not seen onscreen, but he's Sibyl's ex.

JENNA BEGER

Sibyl's childhood friend who tried to trade away his life in order to join The Cult of Lacrima. Her status is also unknown.

TEAM ███████

MATT NOTTON

The recipient of the Pink Pill who needs to be put on a GODDAMN LEASH. The only pill candidate who decided to use their powers for selfish reasons.

DAMIEN BRIDGES

A man that Matt kidnapped in an attempt to learn how to control his powers. He's... god he's still there.

DALTON RENTFRO

Matt's teammate and a MASSIVE Matt hater.

OTHERS

????? | LIGHTBRINGER

The person who gives out the pills to the candidates. He's stoic but generally friendly.

??????

Only called "Scarecrow Lady" in comic so far, this is the woman who broke into Merri's dressing room in book 3 trying to kidnap her. Caleb erased her memory of their identities but she hinted that she had something "Way better" than her memories.

LONDON KURTZ

A mean girl who peeked in high school. She is obsessed with status.

PHYLLIS WORRALL

One of London's obligatory lackeys. The other of which, Lilith, apparently left London very recently for unknown reasons and has not been seen onscreen.

KRAVEN GREEVES

The owner of the martial arts dojo that the Power Pills train at. He knows what's going on with the superheroes, but he knows it's not his place to say anything.

And I reached the maximum number of images I can put on a post apparently so I have been hard capped here.

Btw if you want to see or ask more about my OCs you should check out @bookfanocs. I don't post much on there but you never know when I'll be inspired.

[cccat-in-a-meat-sack]

Various roleplayer starters I have written because they're long and I like them:

tw// mentions of forced labor, sl@ves, implied h@ngings, and brief mentions of wh1pp1ng + not so brief mentions of d3ath, and m*rder

When Karael Zarall was 12 years old, he learned about family tradition and honor. It meant loving your family, putting them above all else, making them proud. When Karael Zarall was 12 years old he made a single promise, to always uphold his family tradition. When Karael Zarall was 12 years old, he made the first and last promise he ever made.

---

Karael always liked to get up with the sun. There was something about feeling the slightly damp grass and dirt, the feeling of sun heating up his skin as he trained, the feeling of knowing he was on a schedule with something otherworldy. Yet today, when his alarm clock rang and he could feel his albino mercat bumping her head against him, begging to be fed, there was just something. An unease in the air that stirred up trouble in his senses, that made his hair stand on end and his ears to be alright. Used to tradition however, he got up and pulled on a shirt, going to feed his mercat. He got a very special breed, one that could move between land and sea as they pleased, with webbed paws and gills but also all the perks of a normal cat. "There you go Abby." He mumbled, stroking her fur as he set the bowl down. He headed to the bathroom, brushing his hair and his teeth, not realizing what was off until he looked in the mirror. "Shit. It's today." He muttered under his breath, tying his hair back so it wouldn't be in his eyes, trying to ignore all the thoughts in his brain that told him to run, run far away from those monsters, run far away from it all. But, he didn't. Bring honor to your family. His brain whispered. So, he did. He made sure Abby's cat door was unlocked, he dressed in a simple attire of slightly loose black pants, a black t-shirt, added on his holsters for various weapons, and then he headed to the armory. Although he knew those assassins wouldn't have the chance to get to him before they were shot, he knew to be careful. Slipping on a simple piece of armor he designed himself, designed to look like a vest yet was bulletproof, stab and slash proof, and was designed to protect him no matter what. Now, he just needed to wait 6 hours before he would have to meet the criminals. He decided to look over Esor's file again, wanting to be prepared. Nothing really jumped out at him, nothing to be afraid of at least. He did pause for a moment at Esor's photo, studying it. Something about him just nagged at Karael, and he wasn't sure why. Either way, he shook the thought out of his head. That was a killer. An assassin. Someone who didn't deserve the opportunity they were given. But, his opinion was irrelevant. He was given an order, a plan to be followed and he would stick to it. For his king. For his family. For pride, tradition, and honor. But, he didn't want to be stuck with a cold-blooded killer, having to watch his back at every step. He didn't want to be nice to someone who had taken people away from their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. He didn't want to be around someone who blatantly didn't care about anyone but themself. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He could've requested a switch. But, it's not like anyone else would be much better. A bitter taste coiled in his stomach, however, as he looked over Esor's photo again. His eyes disturbed Karael, so dull and lifeless, but also evil. There wasn't an ounce of kindness, empathy. Karael felt bile rising in his throat. How could someone be so inhumane, so cruel? It didn't make sense to him. But staring at that face, looking into Esor's eyes in the photo, he couldn't help but feel as if something was wrong, something was going to change. He took Esor's photo out and ripped it up, tossing it in the trash can. Stupid photo.

---

Noon came all to fast. Karael was dragging his feet towards the courtyard, trying to think of an excuse not to go. Even though his brain was scared his body moved, head held high, body screaming confidence. It was engrained into his soul at this point, show no fear, show no weakness. Make your family proud. Prove you deserve their last name. So Karael kept walking, and as he approached the opened doors into the bright sunlight, it looked all to much like when people were dying in movies, going to the afterlife.

---

As he stood in the courtyard, feet planted firmly, arms behind his back at his lower back, he wanted to run. He didn't want to be so close to such a monster. But, he had a duty to uphold. So as the carriage got closer and closer, and as his anxiety got higher and higher, and took a deep breath, and squared his shoulders. Do it for your family. He reminded himself, and as he watched Esor leave the carriage, his head tilted up slightly. His photo did not do him justice.

(from the same rp):

Devwarion was not a place you wanted to be sent to. It was cold, bleak, rumored to be made from shadows and children’s nightmares. It has often been described as impossible to grasp the full terror and trauma the prison creates, but the look of it already is terrible. Made of obsidian, the jagged towers and smooth walls, along with 2 walls made it terrifying. The walls were so smooth a spider couldn’t stick to them, and no windows made the place all the more creepy. It was nestled in between two mountains, rarely snowing but always having a thin layer of frost. The most notable thing about the prison was the cold. It was freezing, cold that buried deep into your bones and never left. Frostbite was common, then thin blanket they provided never being enough to warm you. If the cold didn’t kill you the work would, working from before the sun was up till after it sank back into its slumber. Long, hard days working in the mines, mining salt and jewels for the country you had tried to tear down, the country who had put you in this hell. Death was a kinder fate than working in that prison.

Most people working in the mines were dead within a month. Maybe the ceiling caved in, maybe you were sent to the gallows, maybe you tried to escape and were shot, or perhaps you were just simply whipped to death. Whatever the reason, a month was average. The fastest time someone had died was 2 hours, they were brought to Devwarion at around 5:00 am, and were killed when a ceiling caved in at 7:00. There was no funeral, no mourning. There never was, prisoners who showed even the slightest bit of sadness or anger were punished, and not in the kinky way. There were thousands of prisoners in the prison, and none of them had ever been noteworthy. Until now. They were on a no-kill list by the king, which was something in itself, but they had all outlived the month-long average. And not just by one or two days, either. 

Esor Coy, codename: Rose. An assassin from Quedrand, an area where assassins were borderline underheard of. Confirmed kill count: 26. Age is unknown, looks about 20. Has been in Devwarion for a little under 2 years.

Alvara Marsden, codename: Beast tamer. An assassin from Draeldchy, confirmed kill count: 37. Age is 23, and has been in Devwarion for about a year and a half.

Envirious SerViano, codename: Black Lotus. Assassin from Quedrand, any possible ties to Esor unknown. Confirmed kill count: 43. Age: 20, has been in Devwarion for almost 8 months.

Callisto, last name unknown. Codename: Anemos. Assassin from Angbotin. Confirmed kill count: 46 . Age: 24, has been in Devwarion for almost 3 years. 

These four weren’t noticeable because they had the biggest kill counts, or the ones that were the most difficult to catch. What made these people deadly were their unpredictability and uniqueness. They were dangerous, perfect.

The king had run into trouble. He needed ruthless killers to work for him, who could work outside the law and save his country. His soldiers were good, amazing, but none of them quite fit the task he needed. It took 3 days and 4 nights for him to come up with the solution. 

Devwarion. 

These four assassins would be the key to the calmness of the kingdom, the survival and perseverance. But before that, he needed leverage. Something that would get these four to listen, to agree. None of them would be swayed by money, gold, perhaps not even freedom. Their hatred burned brighter than a thousand suns, and he couldn’t ignore that fact. So, he came up with something, something inhumane, something incredible, something that would work.

Then, his plan was set in motion.

3 months, was the time it took to lay the groundwork of his plan. Longer hours, harsher conditions, more punishments for the tiniest things. He needed them to long for freedom, to dream of the day they would die just so they could escape the hell they were trapped in. It was inhumane, yes, but did they really deserve to be treated as humans? In his eyes, no. They were tools, that was all. They were his to use, mold as he pleased.

When he looked into their eyes as he told them what would happen, he didn’t care about the emotions he saw. He didn’t care about the skepticism, the relief, the joy, the anxiety. He only cared about one emotion he saw in all four. 

Acceptance.

From there, it was easy, simple. Have guards take them to the castle. Have them train, meet their handlers, and they would be good. They would be alright. The kingdom would thrive, and if he had to do this he would.

—

The castle was a place that you wanted to be sent to. It was beautiful, bright, shining so much that even the sun hid in jealousy. It had four towers, each facing the four cardinal directions, where you could see guards patrolling. The outside of it was beautiful, with stained glass windows and smooth brick walls with plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows. The inside was just as beautiful, with marbled floors in the bathroom, kitchens, and main hallways, and soft oak wood making up the ballroom and bedrooms. The walls were decorated with tapestries and paintings, every so often flowers standing on side tables could be seen. Servants and knights bustled around, there was never stopping. If you worked well you would be rewarded, your family being tossed up in the social circle, bringing honor to them and you. Working among lush gardens, beautiful royalty, held in high honor, it’s no wonder the jobs were hard to come by.

Most people working in the castle never gave up their job. Not until they were on their deathbed, dying in comfort knowing their family would benefit from their death. Servants would work day and night to keep the king happy, keep their job. The soldiers were considered the best. There were five ranks, eagles, falcons, crows, ravens, and doves: the ranks named after the Queen’s favorite birds. Every soldier is extraordinary, most coming from Warbrosle, and kept up their duties with honor and pride. There were 4 soldiers who stood out though. They were favored by both the king and queen, with a couple rumored to even have captured the hearts of the princesses themselves. 

Karael Zarall, rank: Falcon. Exceptional soldier, turning down the rank of Eagle to continue fighting among the ranks. Excelled mostly in hand-to-hand combat and solo missions, but worked well in groups. He was best known for training new recruits, having a no-nonsense training to teach them respect.

Eden Carris, rank: Falcon. He was recently promoted, one of the quickest promotions on record, rising to the rank of Falcon in a mere 3 months. He was always up for a challenge, taking everything in stride as it’s handed to him. He worked mostly with larger-scale missions, often being the key to success. He rarely failed a mission, and even when he did, casualties were less than they would’ve been without him.

Arthur Vaesephine, rank: Falcon. He’s been a handler for 3 years, considered for the rank of Eagle but it was ultimately decided that he would run his own partition of soldiers. He’s more easy going, used more for city patrols and crowd control, but that doesn’t mean you should underestimate him. 

Elton Arvil. Rank: Falcon. Known as the artist of the rank, his skills look more like dancing than sword fighting. Don’t let this fool you though, he’s just as skilled as everyone else. Even more so, perhaps, specializing in carrying out precise strikes that much older and more experienced soldiers would struggle with. 

These four were the king's chosen ones, the ones he would choose to lead the assassins to a place of glory, a place of servitude, a place of good. They would make sure they stayed in line, were able to pass the trails, they would make sure those four were the ones that survived. Strong, skilled, perfect for the task. Who else would he choose?

So, the planning began. As the assassins slaved away and the handlers honed their skills, he began plotting. He sent scouts out to Devuniake, and they reported back to him about their planning and their leaders. He got assassins from all throughout the kingdom, 20 aside from the ones he wanted, assigning 20 other Falcons to watch over him. He matched up handlers to assassins, slaved away at writing 2 thousand word starters to make his friends happy, and he also ate pizza. Finally, everything was ready.

The sun glares down upon the thick cobblestone walls, leaving stark, vivid shadows contrasting with the blinding bright reflections. The spiked shadows of the portcullis loom like the twisted teeth of some fell beast from Redbotnd. A horse nickers in the stables, and the air suddenly acquires a musty, damp smell, the smell of sweat and heat. A grinding, gravelly road runs straight ahead through a market into a towering stone keep. Tantalizing smells waft from the marketplace where colorful stalls selling everything imaginable sit in a confused muddle, a group of baby birds within their nest, the walls of the castle. The noise from the market comes in a sea of sound, starting slowly and building up before crashing down. Enticing scents waft between the stalls, masking the unsavory smell of sweat and spice. Rising above the bustle below like four eagles rising on an updraft, four towers stand stark against the sunlit sky giving a sense of power and control. Four flags fly high, their crimson contrasting with the blue sky. Through the heavy oak doors of the imposing keep there is a large chamber filled with rows of guards with armor and colors so flamboyant they almost distract your attention from the piles upon piles of glittering, golden treasure clustered around. The light from the teardrop shaped windows reflects off the treasure at all angles, filling the room with a warm, golden, glowing, glimmering light. Ceremonial swords and armor poke out of the piles occasionally, protruding at odd angles. Outside was warm, a lovely breeze blowing gently through the air. The handlers were ready and informed on what would happen, the assassins were almost at the castle, and the king’s plan was set in motion. He had informed the handlers to be ready in the courtyard at noon, and was not disappointed. The four of them stood ready, donning traditionally styled clothing, but he was slightly amused to see that they had added their own styles to the traditional clothing. He turned his head towards the gates as they opened, a calm expression on his face. There were roughly 7 guards for every assassin, the four assassins sitting inside a carriage, chained. The entourage stopped, and two guards opened the door to the carriage. The head of the group stepped out first, followed by the four assassins. They stood warily, but were herded into a line standing in front of the handlers. 

Finally, the king spoke. “Welcome to Quedrand.” He spoke, and noticed the various disgusted expressions from the assassins. He ignored them, and gestured at the 4 handlers. “These will be your personal guards during your visit. I suggest you be nice to each other, as you will be stuck together until the trials end.” Although the handler's faces remained neutral, he noticed Karael’s lips pressing together a little tighter. “Allow me to explain your pairings. Karael and Esor, you two will be together. Elton and Envirious, as will you two. Arthur and Alvara and Eden and Callisto are the last two pairs. Now, for the trails. There are twenty other contestants, and you are the last four to arrive. There will be a trial every other day, and you will be fighting against another assassin. The last four will be the ones who win, and will gain freedom after some time. The trials will be in different areas, and your task is to ‘kill’ your opponent. And I don’t mean that literally. You will get to choose your weapon, each will have substance that will glow when it touches an area you could kill someone. For now however, your handlers will show you the arena and your rooms. You may ask them any other questions then. Dismissed.”

Kailani was 5 years old when it found out that xe were connected to water. They were running through the forest from a group of hunters, and stumbled upon a lake. Without thinking, like it was natural instinct, it felt a tug in it's gut, unfamiliar but not unwelcome, and the water rose up behind them, attacking the men. They were dead within seconds, and the water curled around Kailani in a comforting manner, almost replacing the arms of zir late mother. Without a sound the water moved back to the lake, and Kailani was left alone with dead bodies, a confused mind, and a healing heart.

Kailani was 6 years old when ze moved to the coast, walking nearly 200 miles to get there. They stopped at every place with water to regain energy and heal their wounds, no longer scared of their connection. The water was friendly, welcome. They loved living along the coast building sand castles, swimming among sharks and dolphins, moving through the water like it was second nature.

Kailani was 7 years old when the village they lived in found out. They were no longer the sweet child loved by everyone, they were a demon, a monster. I'm 7! They wanted to scream. I don't want to hurt you! But the water let them know it was useless. They spent more time away, sneaking food whenever they could and playing more with the sharks and dolphins, an empty hole in their heart that no amount of playing could fix. The crack grew wider every day, as they were spit on, hit, hurt, just for something they couldn't control. 

Kailani was 8 years old when a tsunami came and tore about zir village, drowning and killing all 300 villagers. All except Kailani. The water avoided them, making a pocket underneath the water so Kailani stayed dry and unharmed. They watched the wreckage and destruction from a front-row street, and something began to grow in their heart, their broken heart. It wormed it's way through, fixing their heart, but not in a good way. They couldn't help but think it was what they deserved, for treating Kailani that way. It was a child. No one should hurt a child. 

Kailani was 9 years old when ze killed someone on purpose. The night was cold and dark, with a man greedily killing a baby animal who was just trying to drink. Perhaps it was the fact the deer was a baby that made Kailani so angry, and perhaps it was the fact the animal was just trying to drink. Either way, the dark, destruction parts of their heart that had sewn it together unleashed, the water grabbing the man almost telekinetically and choking him to death. Kailani stood over the body, yet they couldn't manage to find any sympathy. They felt almost guilty, but that was it. With a quick prayer to the deer they were off, back to go get food.

They were 10 when xe stopped caring about themself. It was hard to naturally, but when you're constantly shamed for your looks, how you talked, your accent, what you could do, it was nearly impossible to not start smashing mirrors, unable to look yourself in the face. Ze turned all their energy towards being helpful, using their connection to salvage ships, gold, get anything to make people happy. Just a single smile was all it needed.

Kailani had lost track of their age when they were tied up by men in white robes and shoved into a carriage. They had been sleeping peacefully, listening to the crickets chirping, feeling the bed underneath them and the blanket over them keeping them warm. A loose t-shirt and sweatpants adorned they body, which was much more modest than what they were most of the time. Kailani wasn't sure how the men found zim, but xe had a feeling it wasn't supposed to be like this. Metal handcuffs, tight enough it couldn't escape but loose enough that they would chaft their wrists. A bag over their head, to thick to see through but not thick enough they couldn't breath. Lifted into a carriage without a word, a soft, comfy carriage. They heard the horses neighing, and when they were able to rid their sleep-adelled mind of cobwebs, there wasn't any water around to protect them. So, they simply waited. Ever since they were 5 they had thought someone was going to come and kidnap them, take zim away for their connection and punish xim for going against the laws of nature. But it always imagined something more violent, more shouting, harsher conditions, more things like that. Instead the ride was smooth, almost lulling it back to sleep, and they had to shake their head so they wouldn't fall asleep. A quick upside down of their head removed the sack, and xe found itself to be in a windowless, royal carriage. The velvet was plush red, there were purple curtains decorating the space, and all in all it confused Kailani. What was going on?

When the carriage finally stopped, Kailani found zimself in front of a majestic building, and he didn't have time to admire it all as he was rushed inside. He was taken to a room, bindings taken off and was simply told to wait. Ze stayed calm about the situation, looking around instead admiring the decorations. The marble was cold under their bare feet, and there were 8 thrones, each with a light over them. White, Green, Black, Red, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Purple. They each had different inscriptions, and Kailani went over to the blue one first, it calling to him just as water did. Xe gently touched it, feeling the smooth marble, but was barely able to hold him up as images flashed across his vision. The creations of life. The calm beaches. Great storms. Throughout all of this, it lasted maybe 10 seconds, but only one phrase was heard. "Water holds memories. Welcome back, my God." 

"Yea, I'm officially going insane." Kailani mumbled.

[the-consortium]

A now familiar voice rang through the halls. Muffled by steel doors, but for the first time, it came clear as day. The voice of that same mysterious woman. The one who spoke of Project Eden through old, static-filled audio logs. She was yelling about something in a barely hushed tone.

"--Don't know where he would have kept it? I don't know how he finds anything in this mess!" the voice shouted, clearly annoyed. It belonged to a rather small figure. Clad in silver, or platinum colored armor. Hard to tell in the low light. Form fitting, elegant in design but never lacking in the defensive department. Clearly meant to allow for mobility, rather than the sheer tanking power of Astartes standard. It had a shockingly blue half cape over one arm, trimmed with gold which did not really fit the whole look, a later addition for sure.

The real shocker came from the one who aggressively shushed her. A Custodes, standing tall with documents in one hand, and a guardian spear in the other. Both now staring like deer in headlights at the open door.

The abandoned part of the old palace is filled with boxes, shelves and old laboratory equipment in various stages of decay. Some is meticulously covered or in stasis boxes, others carelessly left to the ravages of time. Further back, organic remains float in large tanks and it is not apparent whether they are rotting there or indulging in a game of evolution whose rules no one knows.

It was silent. Apart from the occasional scratching in the walls and the screams of the bird mutants outside the tower.

The annoyed outcry has torn this sticky cloth of sepulchral silence.

For a few more seconds the illusion holds. Then it begins. Footsteps from somewhere. A knocking behind the wall. Only briefly. Footsteps again. The scratching gets louder. Long claws on stone. Silent again. Two, three breaths of nothing.

And then, like one of those pictures where faces suddenly peel out of the image of a tree, they are there. In the background. In the darkness next to the door. As if they had always been there and had only taken one step forward. They are people. Or are they not? A little taller. A little more muscular. With the perfect proportions that the Chief Apothecary so cherishes in some of his work. Delicate surgical scars on each face. And absolutely no fear. Just alertness.

There are dozens of them. And they are everywhere. At a proper distance, but with the promise in their eyes that they can close that gap at any time. They wear only a few pieces of armour. Padded jackets, something bulletproof. Nothing more. And they are all armed. Even in such large numbers, they are probably no match for a Custodes. But they don't look like that would stop them from doing anything. They're just there. Waiting. Watching. With a confident look.

And then a shadow in the lit doorway. One. Several. Much larger. Astartes.

Even a single Astartes is no challenge to a Custodes. But it's not just one, of course. And every one of these Renegades has fought the Emperor's companions before. Back in the day. When the galaxy was breaking. Lost brothers to the golden halberds and seen that they are not invincible despite that.

They too are just standing. Waiting. Weapons in their hands. The points of light from the medica harnesses dance across the dark walls. Tension and aggression is now in the air.

Against the light outside the door, the one who now enters the room looks in silhouette like his disrespectful nickname. A tarantula, erect to meet the threat. The spider, annoyed that someone has torn the web.

"Surprisingly, I'm less interested in what you want here than how you found me and how you got past my security systems."

Tired of Paying for Tools? These 40 Open-Source Alternatives Have You Covered?

Let’s be real for a second.

We’ve all been there—mid-project, mid-semester, or mid-burnout—when a paid tool throws up a paywall and asks for $19.99/month just to export your file. It stings, especially when you’re trying to keep your budget lean.

But here’s the good news: the open-source community has your back. 💪 There are dozens of completely free, insanely powerful tools that can do (almost) everything their paid counterparts can—without locking your best features behind a subscription.

Whether you're a freelancer, student, startup founder, or just someone who loves great software, this list is your new toolbox.

🚀 Why Open-Source Is the Underdog That Wins Before we dive in, let’s clarify something: Open-source ≠ low quality. In fact, some of the world’s biggest companies (Google, NASA, Netflix) use open-source tools every day. These aren’t sketchy knockoffs—they’re community-powered, security-tested, and constantly evolving.

Now, let’s talk about the 40 free tools that could save you hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars a year.

🧠 Smart Swaps for Everyday Tools

LibreOffice → Ditch Microsoft Office Docs, Sheets, Presentations—all offline, all free.

Buy Best Plate Carrier Vest, Army Belt and Pistol Holsters Online

When it comes to tactical and military gear, three essential items stand out — the plate carrier vest, army belt, and pistol holsters. These three pieces of equipment are not just for soldiers but are also useful for security personnel, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs reliable gear for demanding situations. In this blog, we will explain each of these items, their uses, and how they work together as part of a complete setup.

Plate Carrier Vest :

A plate carrier vest is a protective vest used to carry ballistic plates. These plates protect the chest and back from bullets and shrapnel. The vest is lightweight, adjustable, and designed to fit comfortably even with heavy armor plates. Most plate carrier vests come with multiple pockets and loops, making it easy to carry additional gear like magazines, tools, and first aid kits.

Plate carrier vests are popular in military and law enforcement operations, but they are also used in training, simulations, and survival activities. Their ability to offer protection and functionality makes them a must-have for anyone who values safety and readiness.

Army Belt :

An army belt is a strong, heavy-duty belt made from materials like nylon or polyester webbing. It is designed to carry gear such as pouches, water bottles, knives, and pistol holsters. Army belts are built to hold weight without sagging or loosening.

The main benefit of an army belt is that it keeps essential tools and weapons within easy reach. When combined with a plate carrier vest, it creates a balanced gear system that spreads the load across your body. This helps reduce fatigue and improves movement during action.

Pistol Holsters :

Pistol holsters are made to securely hold handguns. They come in different styles, such as belt-mounted, thigh-mounted, or shoulder holsters. A good holster keeps your weapon safe, easy to access, and protected from accidental discharge.

How These Three Items Work Together

The plate carrier vest, army belt, and pistol holsters are designed to work as a complete tactical setup. While the vest protects your body and holds gear, the belt distributes weight and holds smaller items. The holster ensures your weapon is always secure and easy to reach.

Together, these three items make a powerful combination for anyone in high-risk or physically demanding environments.

Tips for Choosing the Right Gear

Fit and Comfort: Make sure the vest, belt, and holster fit well and feel comfortable during long use.

Material Quality: Choose high-quality materials that last in tough conditions.

Compatibility: Ensure the belt and holsters work with your vest setup.

Functionality: Look for extra pockets, straps, and adjustments for better use.

FAQ

Q1: Can I use a regular belt instead of an army belt? A1: No, a regular belt cannot hold tactical gear properly. Army belts are made for strength and durability.

Q2: Is a plate carrier vest bulletproof? A2: The vest itself is not bulletproof. It needs ballistic plates inserted to provide protection.

Q3: Where should I place my pistol holster? A3: It depends on your comfort and training. Most people attach it to the army belt or thigh.

Q4: Are these items only for the military? A4: No, they are also used by law enforcement, security, and civilians involved in tactical or outdoor activities.

Q5: Can I wear all three items together? A5: Yes, wearing them together improves protection, access to gear, and overall performance.

Conclusion

Choosing the right plate carrier vest, army belt, and pistol holsters can improve your tactical setup and overall safety. These three items, when used together, provide comfort, protection, and easy access to essential gear. Whether you are in the field, training, or exploring the outdoors, this setup will help you stay ready and protected.

Pink Shadow Media: Empowering Local Entrepreneurs to Conquer the Digital World

In today’s high-voltage marketplace, having a dream and a storefront isn't enough anymore. Success demands a digital heartbeat—a vibrant, visible presence where the real action happens: online. For local entrepreneurs striving to break boundaries and make a mark, the digital world can seem like both a golden opportunity and an overwhelming maze.

Enter the game-changer: Pink Shadow Media. A powerhouse of creativity, strategy, and innovation, Pink Shadow Media is not just helping businesses survive in the digital age—they’re giving them the wings to soar far beyond what they ever imagined.

Let’s dive into how Pink Shadow Media is rewriting the future for local entrepreneurs and why their mission is nothing short of a revolution.

The Digital Divide: Where Dreams Need Direction

Local entrepreneurs are the heartbeat of any community. They fuel the economy, ignite new ideas, and bring a personal touch that giant corporations often lack. But in a world increasingly ruled by clicks, shares, and digital visibility, many small businesses face a massive challenge.

They know they need to go digital. They just don’t know how to start—or who to trust.

This is where Pink Shadow Media steps onto the scene like a trusted guide. With their knack for making the complex simple and the overwhelming exciting, they help entrepreneurs turn digital confusion into digital domination.

From building stunning websites that showcase brands to creating marketing strategies that turn casual browsers into loyal customers, Pink Shadow Media hands entrepreneurs the tools—and the confidence—to thrive in the modern marketplace.

Building a Digital Foundation That Lasts

It’s one thing to "have a website" and quite another to have a digital ecosystem that grows your brand 24/7.

Pink Shadow Media believes in setting entrepreneurs up for lasting success, not just temporary applause. That’s why they go far beyond surface-level designs and empty marketing promises. They build powerful digital foundations that can scale, adapt, and evolve as a business grows.

From mobile-optimized web design to bulletproof SEO strategies, from compelling storytelling to seamless social media management, Pink Shadow Media covers every angle that matters. Their philosophy is simple yet transformative: empower first, then elevate.

Local entrepreneurs who once feared stepping into the digital world now find themselves leading conversations, capturing markets, and owning their niches—thanks to the right strategy and relentless support from Pink Shadow Media.

The Power of Personalized Strategy

In the world of digital marketing, one-size-fits-all is a myth. Every business has a unique story, a special spark, and a distinct audience. Cookie-cutter solutions crush individuality—and Pink Shadow Media knows this better than anyone.

That’s why they create bespoke digital blueprints for each entrepreneur they work with. No recycled templates. No generic campaigns. Every element, from the branding voice to the visual identity, is carefully crafted to reflect the heart and soul of the business.

Pink Shadow Media understands that local entrepreneurs don’t just need exposure—they need meaningful engagement. They help businesses tell their stories in ways that resonate, inspire, and convert. Whether it's a coffee shop looking to dominate Instagram or a boutique fashion brand aiming for e-commerce glory, they tailor every move to fit the entrepreneur’s dreams and the audience’s desires.

Turning Visibility into Victory

It’s not enough to exist online—you have to be unmissable. Visibility without strategy is like shouting into a hurricane.

Pink Shadow Media ensures that every piece of digital real estate their entrepreneurs own works overtime to grab attention, build trust, and drive action. They don’t just boost SEO rankings; they build brand empires. They don’t just grow social followers; they create passionate communities. They don’t just set up ad campaigns; they generate unstoppable momentum.

With Pink Shadow Media’s digital craftsmanship, local entrepreneurs transform from underdogs into power players, winning over customers and leaving lasting impressions in the crowded digital landscape.

Educating Entrepreneurs, Not Just Serving Them

What sets Pink Shadow Media apart isn’t just their brilliant execution—it’s their commitment to education and empowerment.

They believe that knowledge is power. So, alongside building websites and running campaigns, they actively teach entrepreneurs the “why” behind every strategy. Entrepreneurs are not left in the dark; they become active participants in their own digital success.

Workshops, one-on-one coaching, simple explainers—Pink Shadow Media ensures that local business owners aren’t just given a fish; they’re taught how to fish in the vast ocean of the internet.

This educational approach fuels confidence, breeds independence, and most importantly, builds resilience. Because the entrepreneurs who understand their digital ecosystem can adapt, innovate, and conquer—no matter what the future holds.

Real Results, Real Transformations

There’s a tangible, electrifying difference between a business that merely “has an online presence” and one that commands an online empire.

Pink Shadow Media's roster is filled with success stories: Local bakeries doubling their sales in six months. Boutique clothing brands gaining international followers overnight. Homegrown fitness coaches turning into online sensations.

These aren’t flukes or flares. They’re the natural result of a strategy rooted in expertise, creativity, and relentless execution.

Entrepreneurs who once struggled to get found now find themselves leading in Google searches, buzzing on social media, and expanding their customer base beyond geographic limits.

Pink Shadow Media delivers the kind of transformation that doesn’t just lift businesses—it launches legacies.

Community at the Core

Behind every successful business is a thriving community. Pink Shadow Media doesn’t just build brands; they build connections.

They help entrepreneurs create brands that feel human, authentic, and approachable—brands that inspire loyalty and spark word-of-mouth magic. In a world that often feels automated and impersonal, Pink Shadow Media helps businesses bring back the human touch in the most high-tech ways.

Because ultimately, it’s not just about going digital—it’s about using digital tools to create real-world impact.

The Future Belongs to the Fearless

The digital world is no longer optional for entrepreneurs—it’s the playground where the future is built.

But stepping into that playground doesn’t have to be intimidating. With Pink Shadow Media leading the way, it becomes an adventure worth embracing.

For every local entrepreneur sitting on a dream, wondering if they can truly compete with the big brands, the message is loud and clear: You absolutely can.

With the right strategy, the right support, and the right partner, even the smallest businesses can make the biggest noise.

And Pink Shadow Media is ready to hand you the megaphone.

Final Words: Dreams Meet Destiny

When vision meets action, and passion meets expertise, miracles happen. Pink Shadow Media exists to spark those miracles every single day.

They don’t just offer digital solutions—they offer hope, empowerment, and unstoppable momentum. They don’t just work with brands—they build dreams from the ground up. They don’t just promise change—they deliver transformations that echo across industries and communities alike.

If you’re ready to turn your business into a digital powerhouse, if you're ready to embrace a future where your brand doesn't just exist but thrives, it’s time to take that bold first step.

Because with Pink Shadow Media, the future isn't something you wait for. It’s something you create.

Making spider silk

One of the most amazing materials in nature is the light, flexible, yet incredibly strong compound spiders use to catch unsuspecting insects. It’s spider silk. Pound for pound, the threads produced by these little arachnids can hold more weight than the most sophisticated manufactured materials. The silk in a spider web is an extremely strong substance that has a tensile strength of 300,000 pounds per square inch and is both stronger and lighter than compounds based on steel. For a long time people have known about the impressive properties of spider silk, and some have dreamed of being able to create it, perhaps the way that the ancient Chinese learned to produce silk from silkworms. But unlike the gentle silkworm, spiders are aggressive, territorial, and not easily domesticated. Up until now all attempts to synthesize spider silk have failed, but a new venture involving gene-splicing is showing considerable promise. A Canadian company, Nexia Biotechnologies, appears on the verge of manufacturing a substance similar to spider silk through a surprising method, using the milk of goats. Researchers put the spider silk gene into milk animals, since there are close anatomical similarities between the silk-producing glands of spiders and the milk-producing glands of these mammals. The scientists spliced the spider silk gene into cells taken from the mammary glands of goats. The silk genes worked with amazing efficiency in the mammary cells, and Nexia scientists were soon producing high-quality spider silk. Now the challenge will be to mass breed these transgenic goats and extract the pure silk protein from the milk and spin it into fabric. If the new stock of genetically altered goats produce as expected, Nexia will have the beginnings of a spider-silk dairy. The product, called “BioSteel,” may soon be used for a variety of applications, from medical sutures to artificial tendons or ligaments. It could be used to create lighter and stronger bulletproof vests, and even for the coatings of space stations to protect them from micro-meteorites. It’s interesting to consider how many of man’s inventions have been plagiarized from the amazing creatures God has designed. The most amazing fact is that many people think all these wonders of nature have evolved by chance!

KEY BIBLE TEXTS O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. Psalm 104:24

Guardians of Trust: Unveiling the Power of A2P SMS Firewalls in Modern Business

In the dynamic landscape of modern business, securing communication channels is paramount. As enterprises increasingly rely on A2P (Application-to-Person) SMS for customer engagement, transaction alerts, and other critical notifications, the importance of safeguarding these channels becomes evident.  

One of the key tools in this arsenal is an A2P SMS firewall – a robust solution designed to protect against SMS fraud and ensure the integrity of communication. Due to its comprehensive advantages, the global SMS firewall market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2023-2030.

This sophisticated feature is adept at identifying suspicious patterns, keywords, or sender IDs commonly associated with fraudulent activities. By adopting a proactive stance, businesses can block potential threats before they reach end-users, enhancing the overall security posture of A2P SMS communications.
