Name: Lee Miyeon Species: Kitsune Occupation: Radio Talk Show Host / DJ Age: 23 Years Old Played By: Liz Face Claim: Kim Sejeong

"Just because I’m the baby of the family doesn’t mean I’m still crawling around on all fours! I’m walking! Sometimes on paws!"

Some kids complained about their parents being old-fashioned or out of touch. Try literally ancient. Even worse, while plenty of people were the baby of the family, Miyeon was pretty sure it was rare to be considered the infant of the family at age twenty-three. No parent wants to admit when their child is an “oops” baby, but usually, the gap between children is at most a few decades, not a few centuries. Sun-ja could say otherwise all she wanted, but there was no denying that Miyeon was a surprise. 

Planned or not, Sun-ja and Jong-yul were determined to give their daughter the best upbringing that they could, never mind the fact that the kitsune hadn’t tried to assimilate into humanity for decades. They found a cozy house in a small town on the coast of Maine and prepared to give Miyeon as much of a stable, normal life as they could. Sure, raising a child was always a lot of work, but how hard could it really be in the 21st century with all the modern technology available? It had to be easier than the last time, there wasn’t even indoor plumbing when they raised her siblings. 

As overly supportive as her family was, there was never any pressure on her to overachieve or be the best, so long as she was happy and did her best. It made it frustrating to even attempt to rebel or be an angsty teenager, but Miyeon sure tried. Her childhood and adolescence were a strange mixture of being overprotected and coddled while also being handed immense freedom and autonomy. Miyeon would get grounded for a week after not doing her chores, but would then be allowed to go over to her friend’s as soon as she asked the next day. Sun-ja and Jong-yul didn’t really know what grounded meant, they just knew it was a thing you did to punish teenagers. 

The one thing they were firm on, the one thing that she couldn’t even get her brothers to bend the rules on, was how to use her fox powers. What was the point of being a kitsune if she didn’t know how to use her gifts if she couldn’t excel in those? What happened to “doing her best” in that aspect of her life? Her parents never hid what she was from their daughter, but they didn’t exactly embrace it, either. As far as they were concerned, she’d have decades to master her powers and it would all come with time. However, she would never be able to relive her childhood, no matter how many centuries she was on this earth. Why should she rush to grow up? 

Well, maybe she wanted to rush to grow up so her family would stop treating her like a child, like she didn’t understand anything and hadn’t lived at all. Sure, she wasn’t ancient, but she was still a kitsune and she wasn’t a child. Having one tail didn’t mean she was just some stupid human with no clue and no powers and no right to live like a real kitsune. 

When she moved out and went to university, she thought her family would finally take her seriously and treat her like an adult. She was disappointed to learn that nothing had changed. Miyeon thrived on the independence all the same. She studied journalism and communications, eager to learn and share her opinions with people who would listen and take her seriously. She managed to become a DJ and started her own morning show, building an audience of people who would actually listen to her talk their ears off. It was great, she was great, and she knew it. Sure her parents were proud of her, but they were proud of her for everything. She was pretty sure they would cheer her on for breathing. 

And none of her accomplishments had convinced them that it was time to teach her how to master her foxfire or how to live as a true kitsune. She was still only one-tail-old, after all. 

It wasn’t fair, enough was enough. Miyeon was done with being the baby, done with being treated like an infant, coddled and protected and sheltered. She was done being in the dark and she was going to prove that she was worthy of respect. How was she going to do that? Easy. She was going to earn more tails and learn how to master her powers all on her own. Screw waiting a whole freaking hundred years for her second tail. She knew there was some way out there to earn them, her mother told her as much in those bedtime stories she told Miyeon when she was a kid. Only, Miyeon wasn’t sure how a kitsune earned a tail. But it couldn’t be that hard, right? She was smart. She could figure it out.

Character Facts:

Personality: Driven, brash, animated, curious, adventurous, energetic, impulsive, ambitious, bossy

Runs a morning radio show called Good Wicked Morning that broadcasts on one of the local radio stations. It's also streamed online and uploaded as a podcast daily. No shows on weekends unless it's a special event.

Her show is a mix of local news, brief overviews of global events, and entertainment, among other topics. The most popular recurring segment is “Florida man or Wicked’s Rest man?” It also gets uploaded as a podcast after it’s recorded.

On the side, Miyeon is trying to work on a podcast that’s more investigative journalism taking deep dives into the town and its mysteries. 

Growing up, she often referred to her brothers, Dae-sung and Jae-hyun, as her uncles whenever they were in public. It made things a lot easier to explain.

Miyeon doesn’t know how she’s going to earn tails but she knows it has to do with good deeds or good morals – something like that. There’s gotta be someone who knows more in town and she’s going to find them and they will help her.

Her mother keeps her singular, measly hoshi no tama in an ornate box that has space for the eight others still to come. Miyeon hasn’t even convinced her to let her keep it in her own apartment.

On April 26th of 2008, the Utah Transit Authority began operations of the FrontRunner commuter rail running between Salt Lake Central and Ogden serving many communities inbetween. Then on December 10th of 2012, the line was extedned south to Provo serving more communities between there and Salt Lake Central. Today, commuter trains still race along the Wastach front between Provo and Ogden with future plans to extend the line as far North as Brigham City and as far South as Nephi along with even double-tracking the line to allow more frequent service. Here's to 15 years of UTA's FrontRunner and another 15 more!

Bitcoin's Ordinals: The Rising Force in the NFT Market

The NFT market is witnessing a fierce competition between blockchain networks, and Bitcoin's Ordinals have emerged as strong contenders poised to surpass Ethereum. With remarkable growth in sales and buyer market share, Ordinals have caught the attention of crypto enthusiasts. Enabled by the Taproot upgrade, these native NFTs on the Bitcoin network offer unique opportunities for creators and collectors alike. As we explore the rise of Bitcoin's Ordinals, we'll also delve into the competition from other blockchain networks in the ever-evolving NFT market.

Bitcoin's Ordinals: The Rising Stars of the NFT Market

Bitcoin's native non-fungible tokens (NFTs), known as "Ordinals," have emerged as a formidable contender in the NFT market, with indications that they may soon outperform Ethereum. Recent data from Crypto Slam reveals a remarkable surge in sales and active buyers, showcasing a staggering 129.50% growth in USD sales and capturing nearly 10% of the buyer market. Ethereum currently stands at the forefront of the NFT sector, boasting a total sales figure exceeding $24 million. However, the rapid ascent of Bitcoin's Ordinals suggests an impending shift in dynamics.

The Birth of Bitcoin's Ordinals

The concept of Ordinals gained significant traction since their inception in April 2023. These unique digital assets find their essence in being inscribed on a satoshi, which represents the smallest unit of Bitcoin. The introduction of the Taproot upgrade in November 2021 facilitated the creation of Ordinals by enabling data inscription on the Bitcoin network, akin to the creation of NFTs on other blockchain platforms. Since their launch, Ordinals have stirred excitement within the Bitcoin community, consistently setting new records for the number of inscriptions.

Competition in the NFT Market

While Bitcoin's Ordinals and Ethereum's NFTs dominate the NFT landscape, other blockchain networks have also made significant strides in this domain. Let's explore the notable players: - Solana: Holding the third spot, Solana exhibits robust sales growth of 44.61% with total sales reaching $1.2 million. Moreover, it captures an impressive 31.40% of the buyer market share, surpassing even Ethereum. - Polygon: Following closely behind in the fourth position, Polygon experiences a sales increase of 30.75%, amounting to $1.3 million. Its emergence as a prominent NFT platform showcases its potential for further growth and innovation. - BNB Chain: Securing the fifth position, BNB Chain achieves sales totaling $856,027, accompanied by a buyer market share of 7.54%. As a blockchain network that supports various applications, BNB Chain demonstrates its versatility and appeal within the NFT market. - Cardano: Despite occupying the sixth position, Cardano exhibits substantial sales growth of 36.22% and accumulates total sales of $346,115. With its focus on sustainability and scalability, Cardano holds promise as an emerging player in the NFT space.

Conclusion

Bitcoin's Ordinals are poised to disrupt the NFT market, displaying remarkable growth in sales and capturing a significant portion of the buyer market. Enabled by the Taproot upgrade, these unique digital assets have captivated the Bitcoin community with their inscription on satoshis. While Ethereum still leads the pack, the rising prominence of Bitcoin's Ordinals indicates an imminent power shift. Furthermore, other blockchains such as Solana, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Cardano have made notable strides, contributing to the diversification and evolution of the NFT market. As the NFT landscape continues to evolve, it presents exciting opportunities for artists, collectors, and blockchain enthusiasts alike. For more articles visit: Cryptotechnews24 Source: u.today

Name: Frontrunner Species: Kitsune Status: RESERVED for Liz

You’ve always had a competitive spirit. The long-lived nature of your species only gives you more opportunities to outshine those around you. And if there’s anything kitsune like to brag about, it’s their tails. Not content with simply aging into them, you want to collect them faster. Unfortunately, you have yet to find success. Maybe it’s your selfish motivations or maybe there’s a stain on your family or past preventing you from earning them. You want to figure it out, and you might just learn something about yourself along the way.

While waiting to catch a Southbound FrontRunner train at Salt Lake Central, Amtrak train No. 5 the California Zephyr powered by P42DCs 146, 48, and 43 sits patiently at the island platform before resuming its westbound journey towards Emeryville, California. The westbound California Zephyr usually arrives at 11:05 PM according to the schedule, but as it is in broad daylight, this means that it is running late for whatever reason. I have actually rode that train back in July 2019 as a present from my dad for my 16th birthday. It is the only Amtrak train I have ridden on so far, and I hope to ride other Amtrak trains in the future such as the Empire Builder, Coast Starlight, Southwest Chief, and so on. At the time of riding the train, it was lead by two locomotives whereas the train is being headed by three locomotives today, I forgot the running numbers of the two locomotives that pulled the train at the time of riding it, but oh well. Meanwhile on the track closest to me, UTAX MP36PH-3C 7 arrives with a Northbound FrontRunner commuter train where it will drop off/pick up passengers as usual before heading northward to Ogden making several more stops along the way.

Je ne suis définitivement pas quelqu'un qui s'attache à un véhicule mais il faut dire qu'Apa c'est plus que ça : c'est ma #maison; une maison sur roues capable de m'emmener à peu près partout et en toutes circonstances... Je mesure la chance 🤩 d'avoir pu le concevoir comme je le voulais grace à @globecamper@roustitbenjamin@paulmolinerow@myshopsolaire@simarine_net@frontrunnereuro et les autres... (et aussi un peu grace à moi et aux longues heures de travail 🥵)

I'm definitely not someone who gets emotionally attached to a vehicle but I have to admit that Apa is more than that: it's my #home, a home on wheels capable of taking me anywhere and everywhere... I feel lucky 🤩 to have been able to design it as I wanted. Thanks to Globe Camper Benjamin & Paul My Shop Solaire, Simarine Front Runner and the others who helped me (and also a little thanks to me and the long hours of work 🥵)

🔥 No, we didn't talk (as he wanted) about Daniel Druet. My interview with Maurizio Cattelan 💥 👉 https://frontrunnermagazine.com/posts/an-uncomfortable-truth-spoken-out-loud-maurizio-cattelan/ via @frontrunnermag "If I could forget where I come from, I would do it immediately: I have always been fascinated by the idea of not coming from anywhere, of having no origins, in the style of [The] Bourne Identity. I find an unknown past much more interesting than a miserable one. It has certainly influenced my way of life and my work: someone once said that a couple of misfortunes in the family are more than enough to not make you feel the need to have a Master. I think that’s why I instinctively felt attracted to the world of art: from the outside it seemed like a place where no one would tell you to do or not do something, a place where you can experiment and discover things" . #mauriziocattelan #cattelan #Interview #fabiopariante #frontrunnermag #frontrunner #interviste #journalist #giornalismo #arte #art #padua #italianartist #artist #perfomance #installation #paint #sculptures #america #comedian #guggenheim #donaldtrump #trump #catteland #toiletpaper #magazine https://www.instagram.com/p/CgoQYXms3Ug/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
