Gimme the rundown on your trisona!!

I'm glad you asked! Solaris has a lot of lore to them, which includes their backstory, what they do for a living, and meeting Vash!

Okay so:

Solaris Peverett grew up in a town that was very very closed off and not exactly a welcoming place for those who are "different". They weren't treated well at home, didn't have any friends, AND they realised they were agender in a town that was very conservative (highly unusual, as most of Gunsmoke is pretty accepting of that sort of thing). This all culminates in them running away at the age of 13, which in hindsight was a very stupid idea, as the town was a good week's walk away from the nearest Plant, and Solaris packed like. three days' worth of provisions. Plus, they had no plans on what to do when actually getting to the Plant. To top it all off, they lost all of their food on the second day after nearly getting attacked by a sandworm.

A group of bandits ended up finding them on the fourth day, and after much deliberation on what to do about them (options ranged from killing, to robbing then killing, to holding them for ransom), and after Sola begged them to not take them back to their town, their leader (a very old lady, and mother to 5 of them) opted to just take Solaris in, and treat them like a member of the family to avoid trouble. So for 6 years, Sola travelled with the family, and learned from Granny to crochet and knit. They discovered many old crashed ships, and abandoned towns and villages. They also ended up making a name for themself, and earned a lot of respect from other scavengers and bandits for their skills (slipping into small spaces, being patient enough to cut big pieces free from fallen ships).

When they were 18, Solaris ended up returning to their hometown with the group, only to find the place deserted. Upon further investigation, they found out that the plant was long gone, and that there were several old corpses lying around. While they didn't really care about what happened to the townspeople, Sola was still surprised and uneasy. Swallowing their shock, they assisted in pillaging the town, and they never went back. They couldn't sleep that night.

At 19, Solaris decided that they wanted to settle down and have a more stable living situation, so they found a small house, complete with a small ranch on the outskirts of a small town called Midmay. They arrange frequent trips to scavenging locations, and generally keep to themself, and don't talk much. The villagers don't like or trust Solaris; they don't like newcomers, as most of the people living there have been there for generations (with some families being directly descended from the crew from Project SEEDS), whereas Sola has only just moved in. Sola is often referred to by the townspeople as "Sola the Bandit".

When Sola is not scavenging, or doing chores around the house, they can be found knitting or crocheting out on their front porch. They have an entire savings for yarn and other crafting supplies.

How they met Vash under the cut:

The story of how Vash and Sola met is a really funny one. At 22, Sola was examining the wreckage of a ship one day, when they heard a loud commotion on the other side. They walked in on a group of bandits and bounty hunters that they knew, tying Vash up, and bragging that they were going to be rich (Vash's bounty is 60 billion double dollars, so it's not like they were lying). Vash wasn't doing much to fight back, and was failing miserably in defusing the situation.

Solaris took pity on Vash (and would later say that he looked so pathetic, that they had to step in), and lied to the bandits, saying that they had made a mistake, and that the man that they captured was not actually Vash the Stampede.

Solaris: I can tell you right now that that's not Vash the Stampede

Bandit #1: What do you mean "That's not Vash", he's got the red coat and everything!

Solaris: That's exactly the problem *points at Vash* That coat is mauve, not red.

The Bandits:

Surprisingly it works, and the bandits end up leaving.

Anyways, after that, Sola invites Vash to stay at their house for a while, and warns him that the people living in Midmay aren't very welcoming to strangers. The inn is very overpriced, and Sola is willing to let Vash room with them for free until he gets back on his feet.

They also end up saving the town later on from some bandits, but that's a story for another day.

Hope you enjoyed!!

IRS tax deadline changing with taxes expected to be due mid-May, reports say

The Internal Revenue Service is extending the tax deadline by a month, according to reports Wednesday.

The IRS has not put out a public statement yet but Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC and The Washington Post are reporting the new deadline is expected to be in mid-May.

The delayed filing deadline comes as the IRS is dealing with a massive backlog that has left it unable to fully process roughly 24 million tax filings from individuals and businesses since the 2019 tax year.

The American Institute of CPAs was calling for extending the filing and payment deadline for the 2020 tax year until June 15.

When are federal taxes due in 2021?: IRS under pressure to extend income tax return deadline

COVID-19 stimulus checks: Millions face tax refund delays as first batch of $1,400 relief payments roll out

Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee already requested that IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig extend the tax return filing season beyond April 15.

While the IRS has not confirmed the date yet, the new federal tax-filing deadline appears to be changing from April 15 to May 17, according to a joint statement from House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Bill Pascrell, Jr., D-New Jersey.

“This extension is absolutely necessary to give Americans some needed flexibility in a time of unprecedented crisis,” Neal and Pascrell said in the statement. “Under titanic stress and strain, American taxpayers and tax preparers must have more time to file tax returns. … We are gratified that the IRS has recognized the need and heeded our calls for additional time, and while we are pleased with this 30-day extension, we will continue to monitor developments during this hectic filing season.”

Nearly 7 million tax filers who await their tax refunds face significant delays this tax season as the IRS rushes to send out stimulus checks to millions of struggling Americans who have faced economic hardship in the coronavirus pandemic. The agency is grappling with staffing and outdated IT systems at a time when it’s also implementing sweeping tax code changes from the COVID-19 relief packages.

Story continues

Tax season was delayed from the start as the IRS began to accept and process tax returns on Feb. 12, which was a two-week delay.

The latest $1.9 trillion stimulus package creates a new tax break for tens of millions of workers who received unemployment benefits last year after businesses were forced to close and lay them off during the coronavirus pandemic.

As part of the American Rescue Plan, many taxpayers wouldn’t be required to pay taxes on up to $10,200 in unemployment benefits received last year. The exclusion is up to $10,200 of jobless benefits for each spouse for married couples.

IRS officials said Monday that more guidance will be available soon, for example, about what taxpayers need to do if they’ve already filed a federal income tax return but had jobless benefits in 2020. The IRS said taxpayers should not file amended returns just yet.

This story is developing and will be updated.
