A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, she asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to cry.Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.

She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.

The officer thanked her for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.She asked if they would ask the man one question.She was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

You're never alone...

Information on Garden of Eden, Garden of Evil:

This story is set in a fictional universe. It’s archaic, reminiscent of Rome during the gladiatorial period. The main countries are:

Malanis: In this unpredictable grassland, the earth is virtually yellow, brown, and flat. (Drinkable) water is never found above ground, but underneath in the strange black cave systems. In these caves, many valuable and rare minerals are located, most of which are sought after extensively by numerous cultures. Not many inhabitants lived here to begin with, but after the Infinite Inferno 200 hundred years before there is only a relatively small population there now. The fire started when a bolt of lightning struck the dry savannah, although some blame this on a wicked sorceress, and burnt up everything in its path. Even now, black scorched patterns are seared into the earth and, in the worst areas, the grass still smolders and burns. Because these small fiery areas can turn wild and out of control at a bad wind, the remaining Melanians have vacated underground into the cave systems, only returning to the surface when necessary. The Melanians are ruled by King Julianos, self-appointed monarch after the death of their previous ruler. They trade the minerals that they mine out of the caves to all countries, but they prefer selling/trading to Tredonia due to the fact golden Tares are universally accepted and can buy quite a lot of anything. Common physical features are: red and black hair, grey and silver eyes, slight builds, and numerous skin tones.

Rarknovir: This land is an icy one, mountainous and frigid. Its harsh climate dissuades most from venturing here, and many of its inhabitants dream of leaving. On paper, it’s ruled by Earl Amaryllis Arkir, but the country is plagued by vicious outlaws. The earl struggles to maintain control, but it’s an uphill battle. She and previous Tredonian Emperor Severin Talen were in the state of negotiating a union between the Empire and Rarknovir through the form of marriage of their two heirs, Prince Kano and the Rarknovirian Princess (who you guys get to submit). Like Tredonia, their currency is one of Tares, since their economy is closely tied to that of the Empire’s. Their land offers many resources, including: furs, meats, silver and gold, coal, horses, all variations of building stones, and other things as well. The people here are resilient, no stranger to difficult times. Even those among the gentry have learned to go without and how to survive. In Rarknovir, even the smallest comforts are a luxury. Most of the inhabitants hold dearly an old world view of honor, and do not take grievances lightly. Common physical features include: all natural colors of hair, brown, hazel, and green eyes, sharp, distinct features, all skin tones ranging from pearlescent white to deep, dark brown, and muscular and hardy builds.

Tredonia: The Tredonian Empire spans most of the continent. What it cannot take through duplicitously worded treaties, it takes through military force. The heart of the empire is the cosmopolitan capital of Tredonis, where many different people of many different countries congregate. This is a rich and vast city, but for every beautiful place within there are ten more horrifying in their disparity. The imperial palace lies in the capital, but fortress would be a more accurate word. Most Tredonians have slaves, unfortunate captives from the Isles of Ilyasphir. Tredonia has been capturing Ilyasphirites since the Crimson Wars, which commenced when Tredonia attempted to conquer them and by some miracle lost. The people here prefer to live lavish and eccentric lives, and most born Tredonians consider themselves above others. The climate of Tredonia is mild, not too hot, not too cold. It gets fair amounts of rain, contributing to the constant green environment. It’s got rolling hills, but it’s not considered mountainous. The currency of Tredonia are Tares, pieces of gold, silver, or bronze inlaid with rubies. Golden Tares are worth the most, bronze the least.

There are many different people who live here, but some common physical features that can be seen are: lighter hair colors (generally light brown, varying shades of blond, red, and mixture of the previously mentioned), long slim noses, heart shaped and oval faces, fair skin, and green/grey/blue eyes. That’s only average though, and not a rule.

As you have read, Emperor Severin Amos Talen the Third of Tredonia has died, leaving behind his heir Kano Thutmose Talen to be crowned emperor at the ripe old age of seventeen. The story will mainly take place in Kano and the other listed main characters’ points of view.

Ilyasphir: Known as the Isles of Ilyasphir, this country is a string of tropical islands of hot, humid, and dense forests. Their beaches are beautiful, glistening white sand that sparkles in the sunlight. They harbor strong negative feelings for Tredonians, mostly because the empire captures, pillages, and murders them whenever the opportunity arises. Ilyasphirites are self-sufficient people, and despite the popular belief they are uncivilized jungle savages, they’re some of the most peaceful individuals one can meet. Unless you’re Tredonian or openly hostile, they’ll welcome you amongst their ranks. Each island has their own chieftain, but they never wage war upon one another. They live in elaborate treetop houses, hidden in the thick green foliage, and store their most valuable/sacred objects in the complex cave systems underground. They don’t have a set currency, but rather trade in whatever catches their eye. They’re effective poison masters, hunters, and warriors, even though violence is usually the last thing on their minds. They generally live long lives, having some of the most advanced medicines and natural remedies growing on their islands. They uphold the belief animals are sacred, and live in harmony with the many, many species that call the Isles home. During the Crimson Wars with Tredonia, they won through stealth, advanced healers, poisons, and biological warfare. Despite this, they’re regularly attacked by Tredonia and other slavers, who raid them and kidnap their people. Some common physical features found here are: darker hair (generally black and dark brown, but it’s been known to have the occasional red head or blond), brown/hazel/dark green/dark blue eyes, high cheek bones, taller in height, and tan/olive skin tones. And here is the submission password, for those of you who read the essential information: Dark Dreams.

Now, some character roles I would like filled. In other words, roles your characters can fit:

MAIN CHARACTER ROLES (As of yet):

The Rarknovirian Princess: a girl between the ages of 15 and 18. For information on the culture of Rarknovir, read the above section. Because her country is having a difficult time of it with bandits, cutthroats, and renegades, her mother the earl is marrying her off to the soon-to-be Emperor of Tredonia, Kano Talen the First. Other than this, make this princess anything you want her to be.

The Tredonian Head of Guard: a man between the ages of 18 and 30 who is the head of Kano Talen’s personal security task force—the best trained soldiers on the continent. He is also Kano’s best friend. Once again, you can be as creative with his character as you wish to be.

The Ilyasphirite Slave Girl: Forcibly taken from her home in the Isles of Ilyasphir as a pre-teen, she’s been serving at the Imperial Palace ever since. She’s now between the ages of 16 and 20. She hates Tredonia with every fiber of her being, but hides this all too well. Prince Kano (now soon to be Emperor Kano) has always had a shine for her. Other than this basic character role, you guys have all creative rights. (NOTE: I've received quite a few submissions for her, so you might want to send in a different main character, unless yours is totally amazing)

OTHER CHARACTER ROLES (As of yet):

Foreign dignitaries

Slaves and servants

Royal children of other countries

Potential past and future love interests of Kano’s, since he is kind of a lady’s man.

Assassins and revolutionaries

The palace physician, alchemist, seamstress, watchman, etc.…

Gladiatorial Warriors

MAY 2019

Fallout: Paradise Found

Set in June of 2229, a few short weeks after the Broken Mask incident in Diamond City and 58 years before the Sole Survivor emerges from Vault 111, Audra Brekker (woman in the intro), daughter of mercenary and self-proclaimed explorer Daniel Brekker, finds the supposed location of the legendary Fountain of Youth on a pre-war map of the Gulf Commonwealth. Having grown up on tales of the mythical waters from her father, who ventured out into the ruins of Florida himself to find the fountain fifteen years prior and having presumably failed, she decides to take her small fortune of caps she inherited and set out on an expedition of her own. Her right-hand man Ace, a former slave turned raider turned mercenary, is unenthusiastic at the idea and the promise of near-certain death in the vicious swamplands. Despite his best instincts, he takes it upon himself to do Audra’s bidding and begins to put together a team of the damned and the desperate, the reckless and the risky, and just the plain fuckbuckets of the Commonwealth to join them on their expedition into a land formerly known as paradise. That’s where your characters come in. They can be former associates of Ace’s, either from his raider days, someone who knows Audra, someone who happened to see the flyer left on the bounty board in Diamond City, or whatever else interesting you can think up. Your characters don’t even have to be from the Commonwealth, so long as they have a reason for being there. Remember to keep the timeline in mind. (if you read all this necessary information, put the word fuckbucket somewhere in your submission form, plsandthankyou).

Please fill out the form below and submit it to me via private message, NOT IN THE REVIEW SECTION. For copy and paste purposes, the form will also be on my profile. Answer each question to the best of your ability and as it applies to your character. As for the characters themselves, make them interesting, make them flawed—this is Fallout. Not everyone is going to be a nice dude. Please give them unique personalities and backstories (I do love a good backstory, don’t you?), and try to envision them as real people, or at least well-animated video game characters. And for the love of everything pure and sweet, use proper grammar and full sentences. I spend a lot of time going over forms, and I don’t want a headache from trying to decipher a code that barely resembles English. As you can probably tell, this is not first-come, first-serve. The best, most well-developed characters will be accepted. Also, don’t harass me if yours aren’t accepted; it’s nothing personal so do not take it as such. Make your own SYOC if you’re unhappy with my decisions.
