Loyalty Is To Be Demonstrated, Not Demanded

Helltrooper Breeze

“I go where the wind takes me. And for now, she keeps me with you.”

Breeze is a CG half elf druid of the land (forest probably). She joined up with the Chain of Acheron when they were contracted in Farrow. She was grateful for their change of heart in attacking her people and joined after learning of their travels from some of the rank and file members. Breeze is guided by her wanderlust more than anything, as well as her need to explore and learn. She feels as though she has much to learn about life, so joining the Chain was a way of learning about how the world works outside of the small community she grew up in.

She actually planned to leave the Chain in Blackbottom, she had already said her goodbyes for the most part before they arrived there, but promised to stay for one more drink before she went on her way. And then Ajax happened and it all went to shit. I imagine she ran to find the Chain as soon as she saw the floating city, and would have helped in the evacuation of Blackbottom in any way she could. She’s also probably joining some other Chain soldiers on the journey to Capital.

I’m an absolute sucker for found family tropes and Breeze is absolutely the type to be ride or die for people who care about her. I imagine that people gave her the nickname Breeze once they saw how little she actually plans and just *does things*, as though going along with wherever the breeze takes her. No one really believes she’ll actually stay with the Chain for that long, but she’s here for now and she’s loyal enough. She’s young and easily excitable, and while she has little life experience, she’s fairly insightful and knows people. Also probably knows more things about berries than how cities work (we love a feral druid in this house okay). She’s a bit of a hoarder too, but of like, leaves, flowers and pinecones. Keeps all she can in a little notebook she has.

Tl:dr she’s an air sign for sure, would have a aesthetic blog if she could, tumblr witch vibes, has eaten leaves to make people think she’s feral so they leave her alone and would 1000% die for the Chain of Acheron because this is her family damn it! She belongs, for once in her life, in this rag tag mercenary company, and she’s not about to let that go anymore. Even if she has to fist fight Ajax, she will do it to protect her family.

Tom (copper), vaguely offended: “Mortal?”

@hubbleablubble we all love you and this is insane Chain OCs on stream I’m still smiling. We made it lads we worldwide now. Hawthorn, Paisley, Hops, Mint and Footpad the lads. @fisyx @xynnos @zarozinia

When we say that Ada Lovelace was arguably the world’s first computer programmer, that “arguably” isn’t thrown in there because of questions of definitions or precedence – she definitely wrote programs for a computer, and she was definitely the first.

Rather, the reason her status as the world’s first computer programmer is arguable is because during her lifetime, computers did not exist.

Yes, really: her code was intended for Charles Babbage’s difference engine, but Babbage was never able to build a working model – the material science of their time simply wasn’t up to the challenge. Lovelace’s work was thus based on a description of how the difference engine would operate.

Like, imagine being so far ahead of your time that you’re able to identify and solve fundamental problems of computer programming based on a description of the purely hypothetical device that would run the code you’re writing.

There's a huge mass embedded in the center of the moon, and astronomers aren't sure what it is

Here is something you may not know about the moon: Earth’s clingy best friend is also the site of one of the largest-known impact craters in our entire solar system. Essentially, something caused a giant hole on the moon billions of years ago, and astronomers have just discovered that there’s something big – really big – buried underneath the surface.

Need to drill that moon hole.

So as far as I can tell (based on a small refresher if I’m to be honest) it’s based on one of the more subtle points of order of operation

First you do the parenthesis as we’ve been taught: 8/2(2+2) -> 8/2*4

However at this point you’re just supposed to go left to right: 8/2*4 -> 4*4 -> 16

This is because there is no inherent order between multiplication and division; they should be done essentially at the same time, left to right

The issue lies in the fact that most of us are taught to foil when we see multiplication paired with parenthesis: 2(2+2) -> 2(4) -> 8

Hence why we would intuitively end up at: 8/8 -> 1

(The spacing of the terms in the problem also make this seem more correct)

Edit: just noticed the Keep Reading in one of the posts above, which is a very good/better than my explanation and afterwards

Here we are in the future

sexual tension is out, platonic tension is in. I need enemies who have fought each other so many times that they've developed a mutual fondness, realized they have a lot in common, and have to stop themselves from slipping into friendly conversation when they're supposed to be kicking each other's asses.

Hello! You've mentioned some religious clashes between moths and wasps. What is the core of the problem?

The wasps worship the Sun and moths worship the Moon. This is a pretty straightforward and elegant way to justify their hatred of each other. The core of the problem is actually purely geopolitical. Their territories are neighbouring and right around the border are major trading routes, fertile lands and access to the sea. Naturally, desire to have control over these lands sparked many conflicts over the centuries. The border there almost never stays in the same position for more than twenty years.

Bonus pic: a Moon priest and a Sun priestess trying to act civil with each other but failing miserably.

Now we all know what happens if you get the Book of Peace. You return it to Syracuse and save Proteus. But if you don’t get the Book, you have a choice to make. Either sail to paradise with the woman of your dreams, or return to Syracuse to die. You’re either a thief or a hero. So here’s my question: If you don’t get the Book, will you go back to die?
