My frist try at HD renders..

As you may know I have a nice photostream from flickr that I have been streaming my 3d renders... but I have started my hand at bringing these renders at a higher resolution particularly High Definition (1920x1080) so you will have to tell me what you think.








Im not sure if the above vr video will work or not
its a quick time vr file basically when you render it
performs a 360* render of the scene in full and not
just what the camera sees.. now this probably does
not sound Extremely useful but basicly it lets you freely
look around the full scene through its actually static its
very cool.

The original video is also 1 meg now your probably going
how is that possible.. well it is because really all it is, is a
single render of the entire world in the scene.. this one is
kinda empty but still kinda of cool.

Edit:
Nope it does not work :( shucks well not like its suppose
to it outputs weirdly.. when I get a chance Ill add it to my
website so you can view it as it was intended...

Goodbye Harold

When I came into work this Friday I was informed that Harold Hamblin was no longer with us.. this quite frankly put me into a level of shock… he had died during a important surgery.

I tried to act like everything was normal but it wasn’t, I went to go pick up the mornings frys ad and during the drive across the ramp I had to stop.. because I could no longer see.

Tears had filled my eyes and I could see was a blurry image, I just sat out in the middle of the ramp letting tears of saddness fall.

I do not know for how long the cart stood still.. it was like time was frozen...

Harold was the Director of Operations at the airlines I work for, I had worked alongside him for almost 3 years.

I remember the days sitting next to him and listening to his stories, he had worked in aviation for over 50 years so he always had a infinite supply of stories, stories to make you laugh, stories to make you cry, and stories to put a smile on your face.

Thank you Harold for everything you have done, and please rest in peace, we will all see you later when our time comes.

Vipers Cross -a substory

These are exerts from the Chronicles of the Vipers Cross.
It deals with characters of the book of heros, but actually
surrounds itself about a single brother known as major.

2078 E.D [Personal Log]

Today I am taking command of my first viper cross vessel, Wildcatter is her name, its a very large large ship and a bute she is. I must admit I wish I could show my brothers this, but I doubt they would care, im still expecting them any day to come through my door and slice my head off, I broke the family mandate but that is not important for I am me and only me and noone else and not a mold down a predetermined destiny.

Through I admit to missing Chris the most, of all my brothers he always treated me well and never teased me.. that was so long ago it seems like a childs memory.

I must admit I quit tracking the time in my native years so im not too sure how much time has taken place since I left I do hope they are okay though.. even if privately I have to wish to never see them again..

2078-1 E.D [Personal Log]

Well ive heard a report of a guardian snooping around the first station of power im not sure what to make of this. Could it be one of my brothers, we are not stationed to return for another few days, I must admit we have not seen any guardians after a whole buch of them got called off to the Guardian Headquarters where ever that is.

From what I heard it was bad, and kinda made me worried that was years ago though and we never saw them come back... usually guardians are posted to protect specific dimensions and regions they are a odd folk and that was the life my grandparents destined us for.. bah.. archaic thinking with bladed weapons trying to protect everyone.. They have always been an idea held by old man.. I can not say that they are not totally useless there specifically loved by the people, not many people act without thought of any specific government and there neutrality protects them.

I saw a video of a Guardian walk into a galactic council meeting grabbed one of the speaking members by the nostrils and drag him outside the building and proceeding to slit his throat and left his body there.

Everyone was shocked but no one did anything.. if we walked in and touched a senator there would be a galactic war, since there not really a part of any specific country and are actually made up of truers from many creeds, genders, nationilites.. there really no planet or specific country to be upset at.

And Hell nobody knows where there headquarters are, and to top that off there amazing fighters, and generally can hold there own against extremely bad odds.. Well I can, as well, but they hold something I do not, most of them have really benefited from the combined use of swords and magic and can litterally turns soldiers into balls of fire...

As you can imagine people leave them alone, there are slow to anger but once you piss one of them off you do not wish to be in the same galactic region as them these events are connected with extremely high body counts and much media censorship...

Well back to work.

2078-2 ED [Personal Log]

Well today we are exploring the central asteroid field and then tomorrow our patrol takes us back to the station of power.. and my fate. Nothing exemplary happened and its been a quiet and boring patrol.. I only wish something would happen.. maybe something that would delay my arrival.

2078-3 ED [Personal Log]

We received 3 pings in the 12th quadrant of the central asteroid field.. upon closing in we detected 3 unlisted battle cruisers, the wildcatter is the first viper cross ship to feature a cloaking device.. allowing us to sneak up on the battle cruisers pinged there com arrays and had a nice talk with the Right Admiral of the unknown fleet.. he opened fire blindly and we splashed all 3 ships...

2078-4 ED [Personal Log]

We headed back without any more incident.. as much as I had wished...

2078-5 ED [Personal Log]

I enter the station weary of where my would be assassin be... Leuitenant Minna came up to me and said my guest was in my quarters.. she looked completly numb almost robotic.. shes had been mentally enslaved.. she no longer reacting based on who own decisions.. she further said, "Now hurry up you would not want to keep him waiting..."

I had never given anyone my birth name before.. and no one knew my relation to the hero family, I guess its time to go meet the madman myself...

I entered my quarters with both both my blasters drawn and began to empty into my guest.. except nothing came out of my blasters.. just the clicking of the trigger.. My guest had a bewildered look on his face.. then he laughed.. well I guess this is it... I thought.

Hello Major.. he said it is your elder brother.. and why do you greet me this way.. this is not the way you greet your elder brother after he has gone to such great lengths to find you. GET IT OVER WITH HERO I yelled.... he walked up to me I had accepted my fate I could not stop him...

He then gave me a brotherly hug and said its good to see you again my dear brother Klinar..

He smiled he then made a motion to sit down.. I was in full awe I had thought he came here to kill me but the hug of a brother represents acceptance.. why I thought....

Why I remember saying... will you not also be punished for not removing my head... he replied that it was unlikely that anyone has such documentation to prove otherwise...

"Nonsense they will send assassins now so it is the fate of one who betrays there family."

"... no they wont.." hero said.

"and why bloody not?"

"Because everyone is dead..."

"What", I asked my brother..

"Everyone is dead"... A great sadness fell onto the room....

Short Story

Captain Manson has accepted the conclusionary truth of the events that lead him to this path...
Using his ship to protect the flagship, his own battle cruiser has been massively damaged and been caught into a planets gravitational field, the name of the planet escapes him as he passes on the order. "ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP" "ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP" "HEAD PLANETSIDE" "HEAD PLANETSIDE".

The Captain takes the healm and steadies the ship, the 2nd in command looks at him, and says nothing.. "thank you.. sir", as he runs off... (Captain Mansons ship has enough escape pods for everyone but 1, and the good captain has decided that he would be the one.. if only someone had fixed the broken escape pod... but the captain never had it on the top of the repair priorities...

Escape pods launched the sensors reporting but one crew member left and that was Captain Manson.. as the battle cruiser starts to flame up as it enters the planets atmosphere the captain wonders what will happen to his family his children.. then thoughts of what he could have done to prevent this...

Then all of a sudden a cloaked figure enters the bridge.. what you thought about dieing alone good captain? Never hero never... laughs Captain Manson..

The cloaked figure is carrying a bottle of champagne and two glasses care for a cup captain... I would not refuse giving the condition of events..

The captain takes a sip of the campagne.. "what kind is this ive never tasted it before", "maz'ike berry or berry of the hunter.. you know this is a special occasion..." "oh what is that?" "Today you get to cheat death... my good captain."

"Ridiculous there are no more escape pods..." "Sure there is, follow me" Captain Manson looks out at the command screen and it appears that everything is frozen the ship no longer falling the fires almost static, and the heat cooling.. what is going on...

Captain Manson follows hero to the escape pod. "Just as I thought you all you need to do is recalibrate the cpu and recuffle the stratus key." "Just.. that would take hours..." "We got plenty of time go grab that spanner wrench..." "There is no.... how the hell did that get here..." "Long story..." "You know for a figure of my imagination your very resourceful." "Well thanks.. I think" they start to work on the escape pod...

2 hours pass by quickly the repairs to the escape pod are complete.

Well lets give it a sys check, Hero activates the computer on the escape pod and runs the sys check application. The computer whirls back...
"All Systems Green", HOLY... "I guess you were right..." , "Well its time for you to go Captain Manson.. go join up with your crew mates this is there landing coordinates, and here are the necessary shield configurations to get you out of the earth orbit."

"Oh and captain enjoy your new lease on life, don't let your kids down now haha..." "What about you" "All be fine I have another way off this flaming boat, Good bye Captain Hope to see you again."

The Captain launches his escape pod and silently says.. Thank you friend...

Nothing happens.. the escape pod goes no where.. the captain became worried on what could have gone wrong and before he could hit the computer the escape pod jetting out.. and then slowly for surely the ship starting to restart falling into the atmosphere.. at the shock and aye of the captain.. captain jumps in the shield configurations and starts plotting his course....

Several moments later...

Captain sets down next to a large party of his crew members.. at the shock of his own men he steps out of his escape pod and with a smirk says "Captain on the deck"

Question for the moment?

Now some say PMCs exist outside the law (note this link is a video cotains supposed
video of mercs driving down the street and opening fire on everyone note as far as youtube goes this video was credited to both blackwater, and Aegis notice both are the same video but credited to differnt merc units.. which brings a great question to the accuracy it maybe video shot by terriorist or another orginzation please keep a open mind and do not jump to conclusions.), some push that they
are a necessity of this world.

Ill present some simple facts, In todays world there are advantages
of having armies that are not connected to the normal army's such
as getting past red tape, to freeing up troops from from the needs
of multiple sensitive jobs, to provide assistance to already thin
lines.

Now some say PMC's have performed duties outside what some
may say legal bounds.. well I will counter with this...

All men and women are cable of performing Evil or Good, since that
is so there will always be wicked man and good man, and you cannot
put them all in one melting point, and go they are bad because guy B
did something bad.

Possibility the creation of controls and procss measures may de elevate
some of this situations but really this is all speculative...

A control is established to prevent something, too many controls can
easily limit the effectiveness of any fighting unit, so they must be careful
how they are established and used.

A process measurement is a method evaluating if the policies and procedures are being
followed such as sending in a officer to randomly observe missions to ensure
that the policies and procedures were followed.

I try to keep a open mind, what we have here is a double edged sword, the
greatest weapon of a pmc is the fluidity of the pmcs to take that away would
make them less effective and there is the problem where is the limit and what
is too much...

I do not think the politicians know and I doubt they care... lets discuss what
does everyone else you think.

World Events

Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis Live Action
Now ive take some time and talked to many people about the Russian Incident and I have to say im surprised by the responses, mostly for there diversity.

Opinion #1: Democrat / Anti War
Reaction: Odd this person believes we dropped the ball, and should have defended Georgia from the Russians, and saw it as a total failure.
He seemed to be pushing for a war with Russia and does not believe Russia will last long.

Opinion #2: Deep Conservative / Pro War #1
Reaction: This person believes we have already done all that we can do, and that we must not elevate the situation. Further does not believe any of the methods listed in the papers for punishing Russia to actually mean anything, including removal from the G8, and that Russia might actually benefit from that. Believes that the Winter Olympics being moved would cost the Russians millions but will probably not happen. Believes boycotting the winter Olympics would only hurt the united states.

Opinion #3: UK Citizen / Anti War
Reaction: There reaction was that the United States should stay out of it, including already has done too much not only in other regions but also Georgia, and that the humanitarian aid being delivered by us troops could cause a unwanted conflict. Does not believe its anyones business what Russia does, and that the interactions of other countries are not the united states or Europe's problem and that he would not support any conflict with Russia should even Europe decide to deploy.

Opinion #4: Deep Conservative / Pro War #2
Reaction: This believes that engaging Russia would be stupid, and pushes for political pressure including revoking for G8 would be devastating to Russia, Sees moving the Winter Olympics to be a very damaging blow to Russia but believes with further political pressure.

Now your wondering why the title at the top being Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis? Well there was a game released a while by Codemasters that played out a what if Russia invaded a small NATO country and how NATO would react. You see the conflict constantly escalating until both the US and Russia are pointing nukes at each other with fingers over the fire button... This is almost a live action version of this, but one big difference, NATO was stronger back then since the games time line was 1985 and a lot has changed since then.

Its still a possibility that was NATO runs out of possible methods to end the violence they will request there Multi National Coalition police force (United States) to rescue Georgia, but it seems the world is carefully trying to tip toe from this to happen. Most likely if NATO actually decides to rescue Georgia United States would be called into this, since many countries military is well much smaller, US, Russia, and China currently have the largest armies.

Face guys the world powers are no longer as strong as they use to be, the great nations simply exists in there former shadows of glory... they attempt to bask in it but the European nations are simply a whisper to there once great power.

They realize this through we also have something to admit in the United States, are armies are not as big as they use to be, our opinions and support of our troops is at a very scary low, with some Americans further glorifying the deaths of American Heros...

There is one factor not really discussed, what roles could PMC's (Private Military Corporations) hold onto these events.. the rest I guess could be conspiracy but I wonder if they had any pull in this conflict maybe not.

Alot of people are pushing that after taking Georgia that the Russians will continue to take Ukraine I guess the only ones who know the truth are the Russian leader(s).

Book of Heros: Chapter 1 Section 1

This is a exert from a book im writing called the book of heros, feel free to comment.
Do not use any of this content without permission, you are not authorized to sell or resale any part or whole of this book, I do authorize you to enjoy and make any comments about the book.

*Please read previous section if you have not already*

1938 EG-Villiage of Gaurdai (Gar'day'ah) in the country of Meda, on the planet Valoux (Va'lox)

(This section was translated from Que’izos or the language of the forest, into New High Temple)

It was another day like any other me and my brothers had been training with our grandparents for over 5 years, training for what im not quite sure… why but for the purposes to serve as guardians.. now my ponder comes from a realization that guardians teach and train there own, so why I am training now escapes me.. my grandfather not truly a logical man nor my grandmother, both of them are actually retired generals from armies unknown to me… I doubt I could pronounce them.

From the lot of us we range from 11-13, me being the oldest at 13, not quite a big deal but aye everyone looks up there older brother right?

I discovered something quite amusing that both my parents did not serve in the guardians which really pissed off gramps, but instead turned a promise that there children will upheld there obligation.. not sure I understand why, the obligation of guardian is not one forced, it’s a privilege.

There is probably more to that then I will ever realize (there was.. later on I found out there was another obligation a secret my family has kept from all others the secret of the original guardians the secret of the true transformation, which they had hoped to train my father for, but he married my mother and decided to become a mage like mother, at the greatest disappointment to my grandparents there could ever be. I share some of that magus blood which leaves me a ½ swordsman blood and ½ mage blood, perhaps even a half breed they call this magi knight, and with the training I would receive I would be excellent at both, helps when you do not die of old age…)

We were being trained in the arts of Di’lex’ious consisting of several masteries not all which was to be mastered, they were split into 3 sword styles one being honor style (sun) another being bloody style (moon) and the last being 7 Sword Swordsman (7 sworded man).

The Honor style was represented by a sun symbol, it generally is very clean cuts and several physical magic techniques generally the victim dies painlessly or very quick.

(There were ways to tweak the physical magic of the Honor style in which to make it more painful or scary to observers but tweeking is considered non pure and has a reduced attack… or so a book I read a long time ago once said…)

The Bloody Style was represented by a moon symbol, it generally is very messy cuts, some even seeming to be bad form, but boy did they rip into things, its generally not used on human beings, for the amount of pain and suffering it could inflict, best used on monsters or at least best advised, usually it maimed a object and allowed it to slowly die, it contained no physical magic moves.

The 7 Sword style was represented by a man holding 2 swords with 5 other swords not drawn, it contained physical magic moves such as infinity blade which is labeled to have 2 arcs of itself… I hope I can master that technique one day.

(I never did quite master it, one of my 8ths brother finally did master it, I fear me being a magi knight put me out of being able to accomplish this move, it requires a full blood swordsman, I think though that mine is actually more powerful due to my magic reinforcing that move so it’s a trade off, the 2nd arc is one that can fully hit multiple people I seem to only be able to do this while in the form of a true legendary hero…

Further more the 1st arc mastery is very impressive with several thousand stroke extension to it, I fear my hands would burn off before I could get near that, during this move the blades are severely heated from the quick movements, that are all blue shadow movements.)

The 7 Sword style burrowed from the Honor and Bloody combining the best of each, but it was found to have a need to be good at both before trying 7 sword style. It contained its own set of moves postures and technique that had to be learned aside from your skills in Honor and Bloody.

(If only it was that simple, it really takes a lot of rethinking on how you do everything, it must be treated like its own style moving swiftly with 7 blades exchange them out, pulling out the needed blade position(s) and memorizing all that, its possibly the hardest style to learn that ive ever seen but if its worth it I dunno it does require a lot of training to pull off, on speed and strength, almost requiring now what is considered forbidden training to pull off in a life time… so it will be, so it shall, so it is…)

There was a set of magic styles, physic (mind), healing (cross), summoning (knight), and elemental (fire+water+wind+earth+lightning+darkness+light)

Physic style was represented by mind symbol, it generally did lots of things, it included the ability to control living and non living things, further iterated to control of mechanical objects, and high technology with your mind, further going even to being able to watch the timeline, it also allowed you to throw your will directly at the elements and do something called elemental domination, that lets you fully control the elements, there is probably other techniques but…

(physiological blows are actually really up there, I did not know it at the time but that actually is pretty cool stuff and of course there are three domination spells which have really helped me along quite a ways.

One I call dance puppet dance which controls only the body of a person and does a scripted task such as dance, the person will dance but they will realize that they cannot control there own body, it also means that, in no way are you controlling there mind directly or indirectly simply taking over control of the body like a puppet pulling its strings.

One I call mind control where you place tasks into the persons mind and they do the tasks but they do it in almost a zombie state and can be easily knocked out of it if someone hits them in the head or a disturbing image hits them.

The last one is called mental domination, its where you place a idea or a major task but not the instructions to complete the task, the subject will complete the task with full mental awareness thus they will complete the task as if they believed they should do that task, the good thing here is they are not a zombies when they do it, so they will defend themselves and go to farther leaps to accomplish the task and they will use there own wits and means to accomplish the task, such as there friends, allies, and heck even there own magical powers should they have them.)

(I noticed I also did not recognize that illusion spells are in this style as well and they include illusions delusions and anything else you can think of that go with illusions, it’s a form of trickery of the mind if that makes any sense)

(There are a lot of skills in the physic style and ill include those in a later part)

The healing style was represented by a cross symbol, it generally contained defense and healing spells, and the ability to enact magical force fields, even magical force walls, similar to a shield but its actually a wall, dunno why that would be useful how would you fight with one of those?

(Looking back that was a very dumb statement, first some of it was ideologically lacking, at that time I had not received any magical training so I was lacking the fundamentals making my basic observations at the time pretty useless…

A force field does not actually have to sit still unless its indirectly placed meaning it had no special object set as a target, from here on I shall note those as unfocused magic, with a target in place the force field will move with the object keeping a specific range from the target, unlike armor it does not bend or get displaced, thus blows against you are protected while you may attack freely.

Without a target this could allow archers to fire or any other ranged units to fire, since you can arrange to only keep things from entering instead of exiting, allowing them to fire unimposed.

Also you can plant a temporary forcefield in front of you like say a 10 second wall to prevent a attack then charge forward, I like to call these flash walls, they usually can be set up to either stay up for x seconds or x attacks, where x is where you set it up in the spell, then you can always assign it as a quick spell later on, but that is a story for later.)

The summoning style is represented by a knight symbol, it contains the ability to summon creatures and personalities of ancient beings, please be aware it does not let you summon the person but the personality of the person, not sure exactly what that means, how can you summon a personality…

(Another dumb statement, the concept of summoning the personality is on the concept that you can not summon up a dead hero, but you can summon the personality of the dead hero, while the hero is not really there, its just a recreation of that person, a empty shell that has the shared personality of that said person, so if you summon for say the knights of the orange cube well you will folks that look like the knights of the orange cube but with the same skills and personalities but without the ability to learn anything new they have only the memories and skills and are nothing more then a representation of those memories and skills. “please note to my knowledge there is not a order of the orange cube I just made that up as a example, if there is I apologize and will amend it with some other ridiculous order name.”)

The elemental style is represented by well, a lot of symbols the ones I figured out so far are fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, darkness, light, and a clock… the clock im not sure what it represents…

It concludes with what guilds believe are the spheres of magic… or so I heard but my grandparents discouraged too much reading up on these… hmm

(Since I am unable to go back and look at the symbols I have to assume that my above statement is correct, later I figured that the clock represented time, some mage guilds also include physic and illusion magic as other spheres of magic, while others do not, apparently the local mage guilds did not consider them part of the original sphere of magic… for reasons I will never know.

Of course there are multiple evolutions of magic that prove other wise, and, books of eras before EG furthermore state pysicic and illusion as spheres of magic… but that would be much later in my life when I discover those book of old, made by the elders of magic…

Most guilds today laugh at those and consider them fairy tales… of course they seem to be repeating the same mistakes yet again both with magic and magico.. but that as well is a story for another time…)

While we are training under the Di’lex’ious (Die'lex'sus) arts of sun and moon at this time and so have done in the last 5 years there are other parts of our training which is actually called Mat’anaba which translates to forbidden training in temple.

It’s a sort of training set up to enhance the strength and speed of a person, im not actually sure but it leaves you with the strength to explode a bolder without the bulk of muscles which I still cannot understand, perhaps one day…

(Im still not sure how that works, I just accept it as it is, the reason it was called the forbidden training is simply that there is a death toll usually involved in its training, I do not recall anyone dieing but I admit we started with more then the 7 of us, the others vanished, I remember my brother who calls himself “major” left on his own accord and later joined the military of another country which lead to the discovery of some massive space station called the First Station of Power that is now held by the Viper’s Cross.)

(Euno or the youngest was actually not partake in the training since he was too young I believe he may have been a babe with this all took place, but im not sure of his actual birthday, he is as I refer to the 8th brothers, alongside major since neither are members of the seven, and not for any reason of worth or value but under there own choosing.

I would grant Euno a chance, im not sure what I would do with major for he forsakened his claim to the family, since while he left on his own acclaim who told no one and actually worked his way off the planet, so in essence he ran away, his head was always in space anyway, the time between his leaving us to his finding of the first station of power are a complete mystery to me and I doubt he wants me to know so I shall allow it remain a puzzlement, but by leaving or running away however you wish to see it, he became marked as a traitor to the family thus forsaking the last name hero, dunno how that works…

Later when I ran into major again instead of killing him such as stated in some honor code of family tradition, I instead gave him a hug.. to his very great surprise… I am me and I am not stuck in the past of some tradition that no longer exists.. huging a brother represents acceptance and brotherhood in my culture, thus I accepted that his blood is shared and the same thus allowing him to again accept the last name of hero.

I could not find any reason to hate him for what he did, he seeked his heart and found something that he wanted to be and he did it, and he didn’t give a damn what anyone else thought about it.

My other brothers accepted my conclusions as well they did not exactly care too much for major but that was just simple sibling rivalry and nothing personal.

Later in my life I trained Euno under a less stressful version of Mat’anaba but when he was older, his purer swordsman / knight blood made him a much better swordsman later in his life, eventually I granted him the title of Master Swordsman, in Di’lex’ious master refers to best, thus giving him the title as best swordsman or greatest swordsman based on whatever your grammer calls out for.)

Make no mistake Mat’anaba was extremely tedious and well really hard, you found self seeking any moment of sleep you could, for a lot of it would take what you had left and keep asking for more, where a danger lied of you messing up and then well im very sure a very painful experience..

Through a lot of the training there were some really weird parts to it including a sorta puzzles with boulders and patterns with a lovely time limit, some it you were given a sorta parchment with how it should look and a field of boulders to move and adjust to that picture within a specific time limit that felt impossible at first, many times I admit you would fail that being unable to meet the guidelines of the puzzle specifically the time limit involved.

Some of the other training exercises including standing / balancing on a log floating on a river with a water fall behind you holding a stick.. Where the trainer would throw boulders at you and you had to break them, and you would use your legs to keep yourself far enough not to fall off the water fall, but there was a minimum distance you could be from the waterfall that changed each day it would seem..

Breaking boulders is tuff by the way, later the exercise forces you to stay at the tip of the waterfall without a stick forcing you to break them with your fists dang grandpa is strong…

(Yes he was.. but im not sure if he was as strong as I am now…)


Book of Heros: Prolouge

This is a exert from a book im writing called the book of heros, feel free to comment.
Do not use any of this content without permission, you are not authorized to sell or resale any part or whole of this book, I do authorize you to enjoy and make any comments about the book.

Prologue

Hello my name is Christopher Hero, and I am one of the seven true legendary heros, which is a group of brothers of the bloodline of the Hero family, each rediscovering the ancient power of true form of the truers.

I am the eldest brother, and probably the strongest of the bunch, we may not always see eye to eye but we are who we are and all have sworn a oath to protect humanity from itself, from those that are alien to that humanity, from fellow humanities, and from any crazy nut job in the universe, from oblivion, extinction or what ever word you may have created for this.

I hope this book to serve as a history, not only of our family and what happened but also to explain things that happened so long ago where many histories of those events do not exist, and for there to be something other then myths, a dedicated truth to what happened seen through my eyes and my thoughts.

I also hope to accomplish a understanding on why I did the things that I did and to ensure that the forgotten heros of history are remembered, also to serve as a history to many cultures, I will include language guides to help in translation efforts in the future.

P.S. EG refers to the Era of the Guardins, which may be a odd term for others since we now live in the AG which actually refers to After Guardians.. while there are Guardians today, this really refers to the fall of the Guardians of the Old Order, and in which was the height of the Guardians, the newer orders are in no way as powerful or influential nor do I think they ever will be.. perhaps not in my timeline.

Different sections may be in different dialects the original was translated out of Que’izos since few truers actually can read or write in it, it’s a simple talk and most who can speak Que’izos can actually also read temple or high temple or new high temple. As being born in a small village everyone spoke Que’izos thus my original journal accounts were in Que’izos…

I will not translate temple or high temple to new high temple, they can still be understood by everyone so there is little reason to risk loosing loss of the meaning behind the words.

High Temple was originally spoken by knights, nobles, etc etc and was similar to temple but had a lot of the derogatory words changed allowing said important people to insult lesser people without any lesser person knowing, even throwing insults with praise could be very well hidden.

New High Temple is a universal language sought by the Soledex Commission for provided a more unified universal language that could be easily spoken with laxed grammar rules to give everyone a break, you can say its spoken in slightly different accents by different races, but it all sounds the same and very easily understood.

New High Temple was founded in the mid AG (After Gaurdians) and was originally met with some controversy, today its accepted as a universal language taught right next to a persons natural language.

The newer orders that rose really did not mind since they require like in the old order that guardians keep many tongues (languages) and at least 5 or 10 dead tongues (languages) you take the tongues based on the region and district in which you are assigned..

Except me since the events of the War of the bloods left a lot of districts requiring care, I wish there had been a universal language back then, live lives on, just now im full of millions of dead languages that no one has ever heard of.

Sounds like something from a bad story…

Movie Reviews

Well folks saw Star Wars Clone Wars Saturday night, well im going to say I greatly disagree with what many mainstream reviewers reported.

In fact I will say im not sure if we watched the same movie.

Clone Wars is in full cgi, no live actors nor is it a cartoon, some characters feature exaggerated characteristics such as the Count Dooku's beard being a little wider and taller, and one of the bad guys snouts being exagerated, other then that everything is true in proportions.

I have to say this is a excellent chapter in the Star Wars Universe featuring huge ground battles, space battles, and some nice jedi duals.

The plot of the story is that Jaba's son has been kidnapped, the Republic wanting access to Jabbas space gates, allowing the republic access to the otter rim planets, the republic places this great task onto the jedis.

Of course yoda has a suprise for anakin, his very own spunky apprentice...

My score: 19/20

Hello World

Welcome to another blog full of mediocrity and general variance of odd words put together and passed on as knowledge.

Now I have greatly thought of starting one of these along time ago, I guess maybe I like typing lol...
but alus something would always stop me, perhaps arrogance, ignorance, or some little man with a axe screaming if you do you will die chris im from the future do not start a blog if you do the world will end...

I keep pinching myself but its never a dream, I warn all who decide to visit here or make it a habit to visit that I do ramble... now that, that is out of the way, we shall consider the format for here.

I am writing a book, that I call the book of heros, the introduction and part of chapter 1 is done, I do this on my free time, but when I get a chance ill upload sections of it here, for your reading pleasure and potential advice.

Oh I guess I should say something about myself, well hmm im a 3dartist, and a very imagitive person I work for a small airline that hopes to one day fly but so much is trying to prevent it from leaving the cold steel hanger of sadness.

Now I offer some picture to defend my 3d skills..
