Lieutenant! Can you tell us about Cape Horn and why it was so dangerous?

Of course I would,

So let's get to the location:

Cape Horn is located at 55° 59′ south latitude and 67° 17′ west longitude. The headland is located on the rocky island of Isla Hornos (Horn Island, not to be confused with the Horn Islands in Micronesia, also discovered by Schoutens), which belongs to Chile, and is the southernmost point in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Like the southernmost 2,000 kilometres of South America, it lies in the cold Antarctic circumpolar current. Unlike South Africa, which is twenty degrees further north with the warm Agulhas Current, Tierra del Fuego is never reached by a warm Atlantic current (Brazil Current). Instead, the cold polar current (Falkland Current) reaches as far as the Río de la Plata in the southern summer and as far as southern Brazil in the winter, meaning that Cape Horn is under the influence of a large-scale subpolar current all year round.

The air temperature at Cape Horn is almost identical to the water temperature all year round - day and night - which is 8 °C in January and 5 °C in July. During the day, it rarely gets warmer than 12-13 °C. There are only occasional frosts in winter and it almost never snows, although it rains over 280 days a year.

With few exceptions, the wind blows from the western half of the compass rose all year round; easterly winds are very rare. However, the wind force in the sea area around the Cape tends to be lower than in the neighbouring south-east Pacific and off the Chilean coast near the Strait of Magellan, for example, where there is always one wind force more and twice as much chance of storms. Nevertheless, the wind blows almost constantly in summer (January) with at least five Beaufort, but only once a month with more than seven Beaufort, and once a week to the west. In July, at least seven Beaufort and one storm per week are recorded every third day, while two storms per week can be expected to the west.

The Cape was rounded for the first time by an expedition of Dutch sailors Willem Cornelisz Schouten and Jakob Le Maire on 29 January 1616, sailing on behalf of the Australian Company, which was founded by Jakob Le Maire's father Isaac Le Maire together with other Hoorn businessmen after an internal dispute with the Dutch East India Company (VOC). As Dutch ships at the time were only allowed to use the Strait of Magellan if they belonged to the VOC, Isaac Le Maire was looking for a passage to the Pacific untouched by the rights of the VOC to trade with the East Indies Spice Islands.

The expedition's mission was to explore a new route to the ‘East Indies’.It was considered fulfilled when a passage opened up between Tierra del Fuego (in the language of the Spanish owner) and the hypothetical huge southern continent of Terra Australis.It was named Fretum le Maire (literally Le Maire Strait) in Latin in honour of the initiator and most important financier Isaac Le Maire, and the ‘peninsula’ to the east belonging to Terra Australis was given the name Staatenlandt in honour of the newly constituted Dutch parliament.The rededication in favour of the son Jakob Le Maire took place after his tragic death at the instigation of his father.The island character of Staatenlandt, which is only sixty kilometres long, could not be recognised, as even at sea you can rarely see further than about forty kilometres. Not being able to see the connection of the state island to the huge Terra Australis only proved that one could not see further than twenty nautical miles - and this was already known.

According to the published records of the ‘shipwrecked passenger’ Jacob le Maires (his expedition ship, the Hoorn, burnt up during cleaning work in Patagonia), he and Captain Schouten were of the opinion that Tierra del Fuego was a rugged, rocky but contiguous island, the supposed southern tip of which was named Capo Hoorn in Latin by Schouten, who was responsible for it, in honour of the second great financier, the council of the city of Hoorn.The Le Maire Strait, the short and easy passage between America and Terra Australis at Staateninsel or Staatenlandt, was the important discovery; Cape Horn was already a clear 180 kilometres into the Pacific. Isaac le Maire had the discovery of this passage, supported by a ‘silent’ Schouten, attributed to his son by court order, with the father as heir.However, the associated and desired exploitation rights of the strait were immediately expropriated and granted to the monopoly of the East India Company.The last lawsuits over this were lost in 1648.

With the realisation that even Staatenlandt was not connected to Terra Australis and that Cape Horn was the decisive landmark, neither the Strait of Magellan nor the Le Maire Strait could be permanently managed with customs duties. Due to the factually and historically incorrect, commercially motivated court judgement that Jacob le Maire found his way into the Pacific via the Le Maire Strait, the discovery of Cape Horn is attributed to him just as incorrectly and abbreviated. Usually, however, all discoveries made on such a voyage are attributed to the captain, as he decides which unknown waters his ship sails into, is responsible for them and also has to assess and interpret what he sees. However, Schouten did not insist on a public acknowledgement of his exploratory achievement, presumably due to an ‘agreement’ between him and Isaac le Maire. In addition, the published documentation of the voyage was undoubtedly written by the representative of the shipping company Jacob le Maire, so that the impression of a discovery by the travelling merchant was already being conveyed to contemporaries

But according to the German author Wolf-Ulrich Cropp, the Englishman Francis Drake was the first European to sail around the Cape 40 years earlier, in 1578, on his circumnavigation of the globe, after he had reached the Pacific through the Strait of Magellan and then travelled south-east for a few days in search of the missing escort ships. However, this discovery was declared a state secret by Queen Elizabeth I.

At the time, it was believed that the Pacific could only be reached from the Atlantic via the Spanish-controlled Strait of Magellan further north, and the British did not want other nations to know about the second route.Drake's first discovery was only claimed after 1618 for political and economic reasons and was quickly disproved by examining the records and voyage reports and by interviewing the surviving travellers.The English naming of the sea area Drake Passage was only given in 1769 by James Cook when he surveyed the coast and is presumably only an expression of general reverence for the greatest English naval hero to date.

In fact, Drake no longer had any escort ships in the Pacific that he could miss; he had already lost them in the Atlantic or in the Strait of Magellan.In the event of a separation, a rendezvous point 2500 kilometres to the north had been agreed with the remaining Elisabeth; a search for missing persons in the south was therefore not very promising. Instead, Drake sought shelter between the islands west of the Strait of Magellan in a supposed ‘50-day storm’ and had no interest in drifting further and further south-east, where he would inevitably be wrecked on the expected Terra Australis in the storm.In any case, he took his time to ‘conquer’ the inhospitable islands of the archipelago one by one.Furthermore, the navigational documents show that he never travelled further south than 55° south, which, in view of his otherwise perfect latitude measurements throughout the voyage, rules out the possibility that he came closer than about 300 km to Cape Horn.Under no circumstances was he south of the Cape, travelling through the Drake Strait and the Le Maire Strait or Falkland Strait to the Atlantic entrance of the Strait of Magellan, in order to make a statement about its passability.The ambitious Drake would have seized even the slightest opportunity to make and verify such a glorious discovery, as he was well aware of the economic, personal, political and military benefits.Similar legends were subsequently spread about the Spanish captains Francisco de Hoces (1526) and Gabriel de Castilla (1603). However, the sources and evidence for both are so sparse and uncertain that the best that can be surmised is that they both sailed past the entrances to the Strait of Magellan for different reasons and then wandered south of it for a short time. In the case of de Hoces, the legend led to the same conclusion as with Drake: the sea area south of Tierra del Fuego, the Drake Strait, is called Mar de Hoces in Spanish.

The rounding of the Cape was one of the most feared passages for ships, as evidenced by the founding of the Cape Horn Community. Commanding captains who conquered Cape Horn on a cargo ship without an auxiliary engine became honorary members of this international community.

Until the completion of the Panama Canal in 1914, sailing around the Cape was the slightly more favourable way to reach the west coast of South America from the Atlantic. The Strait of Magellan and the Beagle Channel, which had already been sailed through centuries earlier by ships of the Dutch East India Company and British exploration ships, also offered difficult weather and current conditions for sailing ships.

At Cape Horn, the passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific against the westerly wind drift was particularly dangerous and difficult. It required ships sailing in this direction to constantly cross in high seas, rain, cold, poor visibility and icebergs. The False Cape Horn caused additional navigational difficulties due to the risk of confusion. However, to this day there are still ships that round the cape, albeit with the help of engines and modern navigation. But that does not mean that it is any less dangerous.

Wedding of HRH Prince Oliver of the Scots, Duke of Rothsey & HIH Madame Hortense of Francesim Part 4

Pope Gregorious: Dearly beloved, you have come together here, so that in the presence of the Church’s minister and the community affirm your intention to enter into Marriage. And so, in the presence of the Church, I ask you to state your intentions.

Pope Gregorious: Oliver and Hortense, have you come here to enter into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly? Hortense: I have. Oliver: I have. Pope Gregorious: Are you prepared, as you follow the path of Marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live? Hortense: I am. Oliver: I am. Pope Gregorious: Are you prepared to accept children lovingly from God and to bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church? Hortense: I am. Oliver: I am.

Cardinal MacMillian: Since it is your intention to enter marriage, join your hands and declare your consent before the God and his Church. Your Royal Highness, you will go first.

Oliver: Moi, Oliver David Alexander James, souhaite prendre Hortense Rose, Pour épouse, À partir de ce jour et pour toujours, Pour le meilleur ou pour le pire, Dans la richesse ou la pauvreté, Dans la santé et dans la maladie, De l’aimer et de la chérir, Jusqu’à ce que la mort nous sépare. (I, Oliver David Alexander James, take you, Hortense Rose, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; till death separates us.) Stéphane: A beautiful touch by the Duke to say his vows in French. Travis: Indeed. Especially since it is their shared language, as well as the language of love and one that HRH famously struggles with.

Archbishop McCellan: Your Imperial Highness, I now ask that you say your statement of consent.

Hortense: Tha mise, Ròs Horn- tach, gabh thusa, Oil-bheir Daibhidh Alasdair Sheumais, gu bhi 'm fhear-pòsda dhomh, gu bhi agam, agus gu cumail, o'n là so air aghaidh, air son na's fearr, an ni 's miosa, an saoibhreas, am bochd, an tinnis agus an slàinte, a ghràdhachadh agus a ghràdhachadh gus am bàs an dean sinn dealachadh. (I, Hortense Rose, take thee, Oliver David Alexander James, to be my husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do us part.) Travis: Wonderful pronunciation by Madame Hortense. It is such a touching show to the Scottish that she is willing to learn our very difficult language. Stéphane: It has a very melodic quality to it. A strong showing by HIH

Pope Gregorious: May the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God who joined together our first parents in paradise,

Pope Gregorious: strengthen and bless in Christ the consent you have declared before the Church, so that what God joins together, no one may put asunder.

Oliver: With this ring I thee wed; with my body, I thee worship; and with all my worldly goods I thee endow. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus sancti.

Hortense: With this ring I thee wed; with my body, I thee worship; and with all my worldly goods I thee endow. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus sancti.

Stéphane: With the vows and exchanging of rings, they are married. Travis: Yes. We still have the nuptial blessing, and the signing of the register left. These will be done by Cardinal McGregor. But I think I can safely say, we are now looking at TRH Prince Oliver & Princess Hortense of the Scots, Duke and Duchess of Rothsey.

Travis: And after this brief moment of private prayer, they will be blessed under the coronation canopy, as is tradition for all rulers and heirs to the throne. The Canopy is being supported by HIH Princess Amelie of Francesim, HIH Princess Maria Aisha of Pierreland, HRH Prince Magnus of Argyll & Lord Callen MacDonald. Stéphane: It is moving that the canopy will be supported by those who share a bond with the couple, Princess Amelie and Lord Callen as their main witnesses and clearly the closest to the couple but also Prince Magnus as not just the oldest cousin to the groom but Prince Oliver's oldest friend and Princess Maria Aisha as not only cousin to the groom but goddaughter of the once more Princess Hortense.

Cardinal McGregor: Look now with favor on these your servants, joined together in Marriage, who ask to be strengthened by your blessing. Pour your love into their hearts, that they may remain faithful in the Marriage covenant.

Cardinal McGregor: May the grace of love and peace abide in your daughter Hortense and let her always follow the example of those holy women whose praises are sung in the Scriptures. May her husband entrust his heart to her, acknowledging her as his equal and his joint heir to the life of grace, he may show her due honor and cherish her always.

Cardinal McGregor: May they be blessed with children, and prove themselves virtuous parents, who live to see their children’s children. And when they together reach the fullness of years, come into the life of Heaven. Amen.

Travis: And now as tradition at the end of all royal events, the National Anthem.

All: God save our gracious King, Long live our noble King, God save the King! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the King!

Stéphane: And now, they are going to sign the register, alongside their witnesses, the King & Queen, the Emperor and Madame Mere. Travis: Traditionally, all family over 18 will also sign, but they will do it after the ceremony. This will include Empress Charlotte, the Emperor and Empress of Pierreland and the Queen and King of the Ionian Union. Quite the royal filled register.

La chanson québécoise 1ère partie

Il est impossible de relater l'histoire de la chanson québécoise en quelques lignes. Je vous propose donc aujourd'hui un survole des 100 dernières années de ces chanteurs et chanteuses qui ont forgé, puis transformé et propulsé le Québec. J'ai choisi de vous présenter un artiste par décennie qui aura marqué, à sa manière l'univers musical québécois. Comme il s'agit de vous faire découvrir, vous me pardonnerez de ne pas parler des Leclerc, Charlebois, Reno et Dion, non pas par manque d'importance, mais parce que vous les connaissez déjà.

Les années 20: La Bolduc

Mary Rose Travers, née en Gaspésie en 1894, est une autrice-compositrice-interprète qui s'inspire de ses racines irlandaises (père) et canadienne-française (mère). Elle va connaitre un immense succès à la fin des années 20, pendant la grande dépression, où sa musique et ses paroles drôles et réconfortantes touchent la classe ouvrière. Entre 1929 et 1932, elle enregistre 70 titres, soit un 78 tours par mois. Elle entreprend des tournées au Canada et dans le Nord-Est des Etats Unis. Reine incontestable de la turlute (non... non... pas celle française!! Retournez dans mes publications précédentes pour la bonne définition), elle enchaine les succès qui traversent les époques et qui, sont encore chantés et repris aujourd'hui.

Je vous recommande:

Ça va venir découragez-vous pas (probablement le plus gros hit)

La bastringue (qui est aussi une danse)

J'ai un bouton sur le bout de la langue (une chanson humoristique)

La cuisinière (une de mes préférées)

Dans le temps du jour de l'an (LE classique du temps des fêtes)

Le commerçant des rues

Vous pouvez aussi regarder l’excellent film de François Bouvier: La Bolduc. Il raconte merveilleusement bien l’histoire de cette grande dame, mais aussi montre la réalité des familles, des femmes québécoises des années 20.

Les années 30: Quatuor Alouette

Ce quatuor composé de Jules Jacob (ténor), Roger Filiatrault (baryton), André Trottier (basse) et Émile Lamarre (basse), chantant a cappella et dont le répertoire était exclusivement consacré à la chanson folklorique canadienne-française. Le quatuor connait un gros succès international dans les années 30. Se produisant partout au Canada, mais aussi aux États-Unis et même en France où en 1934 il fut officiellement délégué pour les fêtes marquant le quatrième centenaire de la découverte du Canada. Les chanteurs participent à plusieurs centaines d'émission de radio au Québec dans les années 30-40, pour connaitre un déclin et la dissolution du groupe au milieu des années 60.

Les années 40: Alys Robi

(S’tu juste moi ou on dirait Laure avec un chapeau ?!? 😮)

J'ai commencé à chanter à l'âge de 4 ans, je fais mes débuts professionnels à 12 ans, je suis la première star internationale québécoise. Qui suis-je? Céline Dion? Nope! Il s'agit d'Alys Robi, née Alice Robitaille, qui a eu un succès phénoménal et mondial dans les années 40 à 60. Interprétant des chansons françaises et américaines, elle fait également découvrir aux Canadiens les rythmes latino-américains. Accident, problème de santé, hospitalisation, lobotomie... la vie de cette grande dame est un mélange de gloire et d'enfer, de joie et de désespoir. Je vous recommande fortement de regarder l'incroyable film "Ma vie en cinémascope" (2004) de Denise Filiatrault et je vous mets au défi de rester insensible. C'est impossible.

Je vous recommande:

Zi Padee Doo Dah

Besame Mucho

Les années 50: Willy Lamothe

Le père de la chanson country western au Québec. Passant de chansons originales à traduction de chansons américaines, c'est un répertoire de plus de 500 chansons qu'il aura laissé et dont plusieurs sont encore chantées aujourd'hui par les plus grands. Il suffit de taper "Mille après mille" pour se rendre compte de son héritage à la simple vue des artistes ayant repris le titre: Céline Dion, Isabelle Boulay, Zachary Richard... Mais il n'était pas que chanteur, auteur, compositeur et multi-instrumentaliste, il était aussi animateur à la télévision (Le ranch à Willie) et acteur au cinéma.

Les années 60: Michel Louvain

Les boîtes à chansons se multiplièrent à partir de 1960, en même temps que la « Révolution tranquille », vaste mouvement d'émancipation économique et culturel, gagnait tout le Québec. Parallèlement, plusieurs chanteurs populaires connurent leur plus grands succès. Parmi eux, Michel Louvain. Très aimé de la gente féminine, séducteur et charmeur, il enchaine les hits à la radio, mais aussi à la télévision où il anime plusieurs émissions au cours de sa carrière. Il sera actif sur scène jusqu'à son décès en 2021.

Je vous recommande:

La dame en bleue (Son plus gros succès)

Sylvie

Buenas noches me amor

Un certain sourire

Les années 70: Offenbach

À ne pas confondre avec Jacques Offenbach :D c'est pas du tout le même style!! Il s'agit ici d'un groupe rock et blues très populaire dans les années 70. Son chanteur, Gerry Boulet, est en grande partie responsable du succès du groupe par sa voix unique, rauque et dure. La poésie des textes, la langue très populaire et le son caractéristique de chacune des pièces d'Offenbach en fait un des groupe les plus importants de la culture québécoise.

Je vous recommande:

(Après avoir écouté l’original, je vous propose cette version de Breen Lebœuf avec une p’tite fille de chez nous)

Les années 80: Richard Séguin

Il commence sa carrière avec sa sœur dans les années 70, puis en solo à partir des années 80 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Chateur engagé aux textes percutants, il défend plusieurs causes en plus d'encourager la relève.

Je vous recommande:

Sous les cheminées

Journée d'Amérique

Aux portes du matin

Double vie

J'te cherche partout

Protest song

Les années 90: Jean Leloup

Comme on dit au Québec, c'est une bibitte! Le genre de gars qui se fout des conventions, qui vit dans son monde, embarque qui veut. Hyper populaire dans les années 90-2000, il se fait malheureusement plus rare maintenant. C'est bien dommage parce qu'on aurait grand besoin de sa folie.

Je vous recommande:

Isabelle

I lost my baby

À paradis city

Le monde est à pleurer

La vallée des réputations

Les années 2000: Loco Locass

Groupe de Hip-hop québécois qui connait du succès dès le début avec ses textes engagés politiquement. Ardent défenseur du français, le groupe prêche pour l'indépendance du Québec et inculque aux jeunes la fierté d'être Québécois!

Je vous recommande:

Hymne à Québec

Le but

Secondaire

Occupation double

Bonzaïon

M'accrocher?

Les années 2010: Les Trois Accords

Je triche un peu puisque ce groupe roule sa bosse depuis le début des années 2000, mais leur succès perdure dans le temps et il m'est impossible de passer à côté. Les 3 Accords est un groupe de pop rock humoristique, leurs chansons, toujours déjantées, rejoignent un public jeune qui grandit avec lui. Ils ont quand même fait la première partie des Rollin Stones!!

Je vous recommande:

Les années 2020: Charlotte Cardin

Elle fait d'abord carrière comme mannequin à l'âge de 15 ans. Finaliste de la première saison de La Voix (The voice) au Québec, elle fait ensuite un duo avec Garou, puis compose les chansons qui se retrouvent sur son premier EP. Aujourd'hui elle continue à gravir les échelons du star système et son talent est reconnu dans le monde entier.

I know he isn’t NHL anymore, but he was. Does someone know why Jacob de la rose is so privat?

He found out by accident through his father’s insta that he is father of a 1 1/2 years old son and a 2 weeks old daughter. So strange, because his father posts some pictures and this is okay, but telling people that he is taken and has kids is not?

A lot of players are super private. You'll really only know anything about them because their wag posts something, but if she's very private too, they will just be off doing who knows what lol

American Dragon Jake Long

The boi-

Since there's no name change, I won't really go for dissecting name per name.

Jacob Luke Long (first time I saw his full name, I was all like; "make sense-")

Relationships:

His family:

Nothing change, or rather there's nothing for me to change as they're relatively a normal family with nothing extreme going on (yes, Jonathan knew already). Since I didn't really watch Jake Long, I couldn't make anything significant other than his battle form, clothing, and current occupation. Although I could say that Jake's inferiority complex somehow got settled when it comes to his sister Haley (and Haley stopped being a brat about it after they grew older).

Trixie, Spud:

Like his family, nothing changed in their relationships. I'm still in the middle of learning them. They do a couple of times helped Jake out during missions or commissions, witnessing the more seriousness and more strategic side of Jake as they grew up.

Rose:

I decided to change up some things in their relationship. First off, no, they're officially not together. Jake decided to give up on making Rose to remember him and everything after he made the wish while still keep being together with her family. The Hong Kong Longs still exists, but I altered it in this AU, so when Rose moved to Hong Kong after homecoming, it's the end of it, and Jake decided to move on as well. The pictures and the memories he still retained of him and Rose in the previous reality was kept away in a domain only he can access. And even then, he never went inside that domain even after 13 years. But the battle with the Dark Dragon still occurred, just without Rose's involvement.

Danny:

Jake met Danny before Randy. He had this respect and admiration for the older for his abilities and determination to keep peace between the living plane and the spirit realm. Because of their age gap is relatively close, Jake felt comfortable enough to talk about basically anything. Danny is like an older brother to Jake that he never have. Jake was absolutely incapable of entering the Infinite Realms himself due to the contradicting energies (this applies to June as well. This was because the spiritual energy from the Infinite Realms could not corresponde to magical energies, which is different to humans that had neutral energy), so all Jake could do is to watch Danny at work as ghost king through the special monitor at the base. Due to his longevity as a dragon and Danny's half-alive state, the joke "the shorter live longer than the taller" became a tad bit too literal as Jake is indeed the shortest out of everyone even at the age of 27 and the 4th oldest in the group.

Randy:

Due to being significantly younger than he is (6 years-), Jake who is an older sibling in his family had this protective surge when it comes to Randy for a little while, but it was completely toned down after Randy protected him when he's heavily injured during a mission, and realized how strong Randy really is in actuality, and had grown an immense respect for the younger, and it lead to them being close. Jake doesn't do loud spaces, so it was extremely painful for him to go to the courthouse of the Cour De La Soleil that somehow acted as a theater stage, but he is more than willing to risk his own comfort for the sake of witnessing his friend in action as the Iudex.

June:

Being both American-Chinese in the group, both had an absolute blast with each other as they treat each other like siblings. Jake is mostly thrilled that he had another American-Chinese person to talk to, and both would even talk in Chinese together when they would discuss some things like the drama they watched and reenact it with the most overdramatic flare they could do, or sharing gossips.

Jake's Pearl Keeper title:

What is a Pearl Keeper?

A Pearl Keeper could mean 2 things; first, a nurse at a hospital to take care of newborn babies, or in this sense; newly laid dragon eggs and newly hatched dragon babies. The title of Pearl Keeper Jake had received at Moon Rite Commission.

Second, someone who is guarding an actual Dragon Pearls that contains the power of knowledge and wisdom, which is the title Jake also received at the Shrine of Wisdom.

What are the duties of Pearl Keepers?

Moon Rite Commission: basically a neonatal nurse, but for dragons, and also basically an obstetrician for all species. Once a dragon egg was laid, it is the Pearl Keeper's job to make sure that there's no abnormality on the egg and care of the egg before handing it back to the dragon parent, until it was finally time to hatch. When the egg had hatched, the Pearl Keeper will also make sure there's no abnormality on the newly hatched dragon after hatching, care for the said baby dragon, and finally handing them back to it's parents. Pearl Keepers are also in charge of the dragon baby checkups until they're old enough to no longer need it.

Shrine of Wisdom: sort of like a guardian protecting their nation, but it was dragon pearls instead. Dragon Pearls contained a wide range of knowledge, the bigger the pearl, the bigger the knowledge. The job of the Pearl Keeper is to make sure no unsuspecting party took even a piece of the pearls without permission. However, in Jake's case, not only he'll do the job of guarding the Dragon Pearls, he'll also have to grant someone a Pearl to give them knowledge, of course if it's given a seal of approval. The receivers of the Pearls are usually those who are struggling with life the most, which required knowledge to get back on their feet.

Why Pearl Keepers had 2 meanings for completely different occupations?

In the hospital-sense, a dragon egg is called 'the pearl of dragons', symbolizing the joy of new parents of the birth of a new life. Pearls are a precious symbol for dragons (for obvious reasons), so the term 'Pearl Keeper' stems out completely from this particular symbolism in the world of Magical World medicine. This term also escalates to not only dragons, but almost every species in the whole Magical World.

While in the literature-sense, a Dragon Pearl holds a great amount of power in a form of wisdom and knowledge, which could be used anywhere no matter the intentions. So in order to minimize the amount of people abusing the power of knowledge coming from the Dragon Pearls, a Pearl Keeper is tasked to protect the Pearls from unwanted guests and thiefs. On the same sense, a Pearl Keeper could also be tasked to deliver a Pearl to a poor soul in order to help them get better in life, although this kind of practice could only be done by the Pearl Keepers that had been given the seal of recognition by the Councils of the Magical World, Jake was one in a very few who had received this kind of height in his career.

Personality:

Nothing changed, though his flirty-cringey behavior toned down, he took assignments seriously, and he became more strategic, calculated, and cunning when it comes to secretive missions. He also manage to control his anger issues.

Battle Attire:

Since I saw Chongyun, I thought the exorcism style looked good, so I looked over some Chinese exorcism styles, and good god that had so many details-

And no, his form won't be fully dragon; he'll look humanoid while still retaining some dragon features like dragon claws on his hands, dragon wings, and gold dragon eyes (I know it's a popular headcanon that Jake had gold eyes cuz the lack of eye color on the original show. I would say his eyes are indeed black, but will turn gold in his dragon form or partial dragon form)

And no, I won't bother making it detailed or filled with ornaments cuz I will tear my hair out if I do that.

(Base: TheCherryMonsterLu (DeviantArt));

Weapons:

Talismans

Great sword

Ruan

Abilities:

Dragon abilities and senses

Fire-based powers

Other Info:

Although he was blessed to attain longevity because of his dragon heritage, Jake doesn't seem to think of it as such.

To be an official Pearl Keeper, one has to undergo a 5-10 years of training. Jake started working as a trainee at the age of 15, and had became an official Pearl Keeper at the age of 20, making him one of the faster trainees to graduate in the minimum time limit. In total, he'd been on the field for the last 12 years including the training years.

Truth be told, the reason why Jake chose the path of Pearl Keeper was because is to give himself more reason to not think about the love story he had with Rose in the previous reality as his form of moving on. He decided to focus on working than trying to have a romantic relationship, and that's why Jake hadn't dated anyone ever since and would rather focus on work, friends, and family.

As time goes on, some of his senses became more sensitive; like how his hearing became even more enhanced, his sights are more clear, and his taste buds are also more sensitive in sensing different flavors even if the flavors tastes very similar to the point of beyond differences to regular tongues or even professionally trained tongues. But in turn, Jake suffers a lot because of it, and it's still difficult to get used to even after so many years.

The dark spirits came from the residue of the Dark Dragon's presence even after being locked up, hence they are the Dark Dragon's avatars, but would be in a dormant form due to their primary avatar was locked up. It will only need someone with a great talent in occult magic to be able to summon these spirits and release them into the world.

Jake once complained after a mission when the head Pillar told him that his new assignment from the Shrine along with his usual work is to bring those with knowledge using the power of the Dragon Pearl, saying his "workload had increased".

Jake was an emergency attendant of the Overview department in case none of the primal attendants are available.

The Ruan is Jake's passive weapon, where he won't have to get close to the enemy to attack.

Jake's signature flower is Gem Rite Narcissus.

@amyzmarch – jacob.

se afastar da festa foi uma questão de extrema necessidade àquele ponto. apesar de ser eleita o diamante da temporada ter afagado o seu já grande ego de uma forma agradável, sarah subestimou o quanto aquilo lhe daria dor de cabeça. se soubesse que seria tão sufocada por tantos homens inapropriados, não teria implorado para seu pai para deixá-la comparecer ao evento no castelo de veraneio da rainha. caminhava pelos jardins numa tentativa de espairecer um pouco a mente, mas interceptou os passos quando notou que, acidentalmente, havia se aproximado da conversa de um grupo de alguns cavalheiros que fumavam charutos e bebiam mais a frente. estava pronta para dar meia volta e se afastar antes que alguém a visse, até que ouviu... sarah rose. o próprio nome saindo na voz de um daqueles boçais. aquilo a fez ficar, mas antes tivesse ido embora, porque o que ficou para ouvir fez o sangue da fairchild ferver como poucas vezes na vida havia fervido. foi numa marcha de dar inveja à militares de patentes altas que a herdeira voltou para o local da festa, bufando tanto que chegava a criar nuvemzinhas brancas para fora da boca quando o hálito se encontrava com a noite fresca. uma aposta. haviam a transformado em uma aposta, se ela havia escutado direito. de volta ao local arrumado para sediar o baile, sarah estava de costas para a pista de danças e de frente para a área dos jardins, da onde ela havia saído há pouco. os braços cruzados fortemente contra o peito, enquanto encarava naquela direção com o olhar enfurecido. esperava para ver de quem seriam os rostos que sairiam dali, pois queria marcar cada um deles. gravaria na memória com cuidado e com primor, porque não deixaria aquilo barato para os envolvidos.
