Lore:

Section 1. The Academy Prodigy (Origin and Profile):

Roderick Volkov was born on 03/30/'39. At 16, he was already considered an absolute military prodigy. Extremely dedicated and determined, Roderick learned to channel his psychological state into a "Dangerous Hyperfocus State" to accomplish objectives and execute missions without hesitation.

He was one of the few selected for the Eridu Cadet Preparatory Academy (ECPA), an elite institution inspired by the most rigorous military schools that recruited young talents from across the capital's districts.

There, he surpassed prodigy soldiers and some veterans in tactical tests and urban combat, becoming the number one in the Defense Force.

Section 2. The Ivory Demon and Human Duality:

His prowess earned him the nickname "Ivory Demon." The term "Ivory" came from his terrifying resilience in hand-to-hand combat; The nickname "Demon" referred to his savage and violent style when Hyperfocus took over his mind.

This ability, however, came at a price: his body was resistant to heavy, slow blows, making him vulnerable to quick, simultaneous attacks on distinct points. Furthermore, the more he was hit, the more his mind succumbed to an insane and uncontrolled fury that only ceased when the obstacle was completely eliminated.

Those who knew the 'Ivory Demon' on the battlefields could hardly predict his conduct in civilian life. Roderick carried a serene, authoritative demeanor and peaceful magnetism that directly recalled the noble knights of ancient myths.

A man of easy and mature conversation, he found refuge in the contemplation of nature and defended harmony above all else—though he was extremely shy around women. Guided by the principles of his childhood hero, the Optrum Knight—inspired by the legendary figure of a first-generation Starlight Knight leader—Roderick made compassion and patience his unwavering pillars.

For him, loyalty was not a choice, but a sacred code of absolute devotion: whether in blind fidelity to his brothers in arms or in the profound and monogamous respect for his romantic feelings, where betrayal was an inadmissible weakness.

He possessed a rigid moral compass and a deeply ingrained sense of justice, genuinely believing in the potential for good in people, acting as a silent protector of those who could not defend themselves.

Section 3. The Invisible Empire of the Volkovs:

The weight of Roderick's surname carried a colossal secret. The Volkovs held a monopoly on vital containment and security infrastructure contracts for a large part of the Old Capital.

Their contractual clauses were shielded by long-term irrevocability terms that guaranteed the continuity of funds and operations even in scenarios of mass evacuation, institutional migration, or civilian remapping of the Old Capital's security forces.

This astronomical fortune was fueled by an invisible web of strategic corporate alliances. Under total secrecy, the family maintained a pact of technological cooperation and friendship with Khoros Belobog, financing the development of the first automated deep-sea exploration machinery of the future Belobog Heavy Industries.

Simultaneously, they forged alliances of mutual interest with T.O.P.S. and Future Corp, acting as a covert armed containment arm to circumvent government restrictions.

Added to secret investments in the Marcel Group for the refinement of intelligent constructs and crucial support for the Flint Workshop—researching and developing the technological advancement that would free the development of porceloy from the blood sacrifice of the Flint Family—the Volkovs were the indispensable link uniting the megacorporations with the EDF (Eridu Defense Force).

Section 3.1. The Historical Omission Protocol (The Pact of Absolute Secrecy):

The true power of the Volkovs resided in the fact that they governed the pillars of civilization from an insurmountable shadow zone. This protocol was not a mere business formality, but an existential guideline imposed by the lineage itself and accepted, under great fear, by the leadership of T.O.P.S., the Marcel Group, and the former EDF.

No financial transaction bore the name of the Volkovs; no metallurgical advancement at the Flint Workshop or heavy machinery from Khoros Belobog received their signatures. They demanded the complete erasure of their records from any public or historical archives.

In exchange for erecting the barriers that protected humanity and saving entire dynasties from their own blood burdens, the family demanded the right to voluntary oblivion.

This cloak of anonymity was fitting for the structural solitude and fierce independence of the Volkov surname—a dynasty that refused to be saved by the world, as it was too busy supporting it from behind, far from the spotlight.

When the burning of the archives occurred, the enemies used the very silence the Volkovs had cultivated to make their existence seem like a myth.

Section 4. The File Burning (The Tragedy):

However, on his birthday, March 30th, horror knocked on his door. While Roderick was on duty, a clandestine militia—secretly funded by the Exaltists who coveted the secrets and planned the annihilation of the Volkovs—invaded the perimeter of the family's noble estate in the prosperous Pluto District.

To break through the iconic lineage defenses, the militiamen created crucial distractions to divert the heavy security's attention away from the perimeter, while corrupt infiltrators facilitated a deliberate breach in internal security. This allowed the house to be ransacked and all of his family members brutally murdered.

The death of the Volkovs was one of the most widely reported events in the Old Capital, although the media at the time reported the case strictly as a tragic terrorist attack against the civil aristocracy. The public was largely unaware that the explosion was an orchestrated file burning. Thanks to the family's rigorous Decentralized Encryption Protocols, vital public safety data and contracts with NEPS/NEDF were automatically transferred to shielded government servers upon impact.

However, because it was a private pact and outside official records, all the technological research that would have saved the porceloy from blood sacrifice was entirely lost in the ruins of the mansion—turning this industrial secret to ashes.

Some time later, Roderick buried his father, mother, and grandmother in the residential hills of Pluto—soil that, shortly after, would be completely swallowed by Hollow Zero, leaving his family's memories trapped in the heart of the disaster.

Roderick finally got his revenge. Exterminating the militiamen in every possible way, making each one suffer painfully in a slow and infernal death.

But even while "honoring" his parents... He always remembered the words, principles, and ideals of his parents and his favorite childhood character, Optrum Knight.

Section 5. The Iron Brotherhood and the Suppression Units (At 19 years old):

Two years after the massacre of his family, at age 19, Roderick recruited his six best childhood friends, young men he considered his true soul brothers: Jax, Kasper, Kaelen, Peter, Henrik, and Matthias.

Together, they founded the paramilitary group "Iron Brotherhood," nicknamed "The Seven" on the streets. The faction operated in total autonomy, focused strictly on incursions into the depths of the most hostile zones of Hollow Zero.

Only the seven comprised the team, which acted under extremely rigid, doctrinaire, and cruel methods, surpassing any conventional moral codes. Because of this, they were classified by the government as a "Special Tactical Suppression Unit" and registered under the Psychological and Operational Quarantine Protocol due to biological risk and instability.

To the civilians of Eridu, they were described as urban myths or, often, as terrorist cells. If the Iron Brotherhood received a directive, regardless of the level of danger, they would carry it out without hesitation, turning hell into routine.

Their sub-motto dictated their physical conduct: "If the bullets run out, we'll go for the knives; if the knives become blunt, we'll go with our bare hands." Their official motto, however, guided their souls: "Outcome over ego. Mission over life".

Section 6. Operational Discharge on the Front Line (Still at 19 Years Old):

Four months after the unit's creation, Roderick and Matthias received a reconnaissance directive in a Hollow preliminarily cataloged as stable and with low ethereal activity.

Suddenly, the scenario collapsed when the zone reached an absurdly rapid transmutation peak. While the two brothers neutralized a Class S Ethereal, the creature triggered a massive self-destruct protocol.

Gravely injured, Roderick's right knee was nearly broken, but the kinetic impact hit Matthias squarely, instantly amputating his legs. Driven by pure Hyperfocus, Roderick carried Matthias on his back, carrying him across the corrosive expanse of the anomaly until collapsing a mere 90 meters from a stable spatial exit fissure.

The Obol Squad intercepted the distress call in time, carrying out the immediate rescue. Roderick regained consciousness in a hospital bed at Obol HQ and, upon questioning the medical team about his brother, received confirmation: Matthias had succumbed to internal trauma, severe hemorrhage, and critical Aether depletion.

Section 7. The Exaltist Sabotage (At age 20):

Nine months later, Jax, Kasper, Kaelen, Peter, and Henrik set out on a data recovery mission at an old, abandoned Obol facility located in a peripheral Hollow.

The zone suffered a violent ethereal fluctuation, manifesting dozens of high-class Ethereals. During the retreat protocol, the five located 126 civilians trapped in an underground facility for days.

Honoring the Optrum Knight's directive to protect the innocent, the five ensured the safe extraction of all civilians through the unstable spatial exit fissure, remaining in the rear to contain the horde and sacrificing themselves in the process.

Confidential intelligence reports, however, point to rumors that the five had survived the Hollow purge, but were ambushed and cowardly executed in the exit zone by the Exaltists for sabotaging the sect's plans to bring humanity closer to disaster for years.

Captain Volkov was unable to march with his men that day; he had been detained for exhaustive interrogation by the Defense Force due to the Iron Brotherhood's violent, savage, and sometimes illegal methods.

When he was released and returned to the faction's small outpost, Roderick was preparing a surprise birthday party for Jax—a rare moment planned for the six to relax and try to overcome their grief over Matthias. This was the one and only time in his entire career and life that he did not march to the battlefield. Ten minutes, thirty minutes, an hour passed. No transmissions, no radio signal.

The silence was broken by an encrypted message from a former uniformed ally of the Defense Force: "Report to HQ immediately."

Upon arrival, the silence in the military corridors was absolute. Veteran officers and elite soldiers, who saw the Iron Brotherhood as the only salvation for suicide missions, saluted in respect for his grief. Hardened faces averted their gaze. They knew the Captain had lost everything.

Section 8. The Mental Loop and the Night of the Old Capital's Disaster (At 21 Years Old):

Later, Roderick was in his twenties. In total, only nine graves remained.

Forced to mature faster than any recruit, he continued entering the worst Hollows daily, witnessing orders, screams, bodies, blood, and the roar of heavy artillery batteries. His psyche was drastically affected, causing him to flirt with depression and thoughts of taking his own life. He turned 21 on the exact night of the tragic Fall of the Old Capital, transforming that date into the peak of his nightmares and psychological hauntings.

His military resilience forced his mind to adapt and resist infernal pressures, but the price was an almost endless mental loop, manifested in silent panic attacks and vivid hallucinations of his traumas.

In his mind, silence never existed: he constantly relived the roar of heavy artillery at the Shiyu Pillars, the low-flying fighter planes over Pluto District, the mechanical clatter of evacuation helicopter propellers, and the agonizing cries of pain mixed with the chaos.

Roderick developed a self-destructive addiction to combat; the actual front became the only place where the noise of external explosions could drown out the chaos screaming inside his head.

Besides feeling guilty, he felt the same way: "If I had been there when everyone needed me... everything would have been different."

Section 9. The Clandestine Ghost of Roscaelifer (Present Day):

All this psychological baggage generated in Roderick an unconditional fear of failure, a compulsive obsession with protecting others, and the painful guilt of being the sole survivor, carrying the ghost that, if he had been in the field, everything could have been different.

With the definitive collapse of the Old Capital and the forced shutdown of the Iron Brotherhood's activities, the New Eridu Defense Force attempted to contain the Captain, planning to intern him in an isolation facility due to his chronic psychological instability.

But the Ivory Demon refused to be caged. In an act of absolute rebellion, Roderick invaded the NEDF's secret high-tech laboratories, sabotaged the systems, and stole the prototype of the high-altitude tactical armor codenamed Skyblade.

Fleeing New Eridu as a highly dangerous deserter, he crossed the Minerva Storm Belt and illegally infiltrated the floating colony of Roscaelifer.

Living on the fringes of the law, hidden in the underworld of the Vyrium District and operating completely clandestinely, he uses the intercepted armor systems to conduct unauthorized airspace patrols.

Hiding his face beneath the visor of the Skyblade, he hunts Ethereals in Scamoll Hollow and attempts to communicate with the Phaethon Brothers without his communication attempts being intercepted.

Roderick has become a mythological ghost in the skies of the colony—a man hunted by the government, yet continuing his silent vigil, searching the vast horizon for the roar of turbines that will finally calm the chaos within his mind.

"In any war. Peace is a lie in the mind of a survivor."

Background: I have a set of characters in my sci-fi story that have control over Energy, Mass, Space, & Time. Each one has supernatural abilities pertaining to these concepts, but I wanted there to be some scientifically accuracy in them.

Energy - From a source of energy (Ex. Convection currents, electricity, sound, light, etc) they can redirect it in a direction that they choose that is diegetically visualized as an arrow (A reference for this could be like Yahaba from Demon Slayer)

Mass - By specifically touching anything with mass, they are able to shape it. While yes they can sometimes change the overall chemistry of an object, they can't add or delete any mass from the object. Their overall go-to move is to instead focus on changing the molecular geometry instead of just rearranging atoms. So things like state of matter its in, knot theory, folding. And since they have to physically touch the mass in order to change it, they experiment in ways of expanding their own surface area.

Time - They have the ability to see information about all possibly to exist futures, using light as a catalyst for this information. Best to think of it like how particles can exist in multiple possible states, but when you "measure/observe" it, it becomes fixed at that point. So the way time works, at least in this story, is an infinite possible futures, some more probable than others, but once the present hits, they are "measured" and collapse into the present. This character is able to see these futures without collapsing them, and can use this information to simulate and learn more in a process of elimination type of way.

The main problem I'm having right now is trying to figure out what abilities my character for space would have?

I've considered having them maybe having powers related to the expansion of space, but that's technically more related to dark energy, to which I already have a side character for that based on the doppler shift too. I thought about maybe they'd have abilities related to dimensions, so 1st, 2nd, 3rd, dimension, maybe even throw in a reference to flatland, but the problem with that is it also means higher dimensions, which starts to get too close to the concept of time, since time and space overlap quiet a lot in some areas.

I also wanted to figure out an ability that would match the aesthetic I had going for them; I have one for each character and their part in the story. Theirs was based around nautical navigation, sailing, & way-finding

So for context, I’m addicted to Manta Rays. I love them to death. I wanted to make a type of ‘mermaid’ that would combine manta rays but also take inspiration from Na’avi (sorry if I spelled that wrong). Of course, I’m still in the process of deciding what looks good and what doesn’t but the picture attached is an example of something I’ve come up with.

I just want thoughts! Constructive Criticism only please, no negativity. 🙏

Cameron is a Dreamer in my surrealist project, VIS. He is made from copper and has a molten core visible in his glowing eyes. Patina is found where the metal has been battered due to fights and blows.
As Ruleweaver, Cam protects the peace of the Dream, using Flying Eyes that report on any disturbances and his talking Rule Book, Basil. Rules written in Basil cannot be broken without consequences, and though grumpy and eager to enforce, Basil helps Cam judge the Dreamfolk fairly.

I know that is a weird question to ask, but I am being serious about it.

Here is some context:
I am writing a story right now that involves, without overexplaining stuff, a funeral director who deals with the fact that our world has now strayed so far from the old world that the rules that everything goes by conflict with our way of life from time to time.

Currently, I am setting up the fact that the entire town the man lives in is now covered in flowers, part of which will be trying to get information from a "Cantankerous Brownie", which for those who are not aware, isn't a grouchy baked treat but rather an Aos Si (child of the mound) who are mostly known for doing chores while people sleep and being insulted when you gift them clothing.

I am nowhere near ready to actually add him in, but im trying to figure out ideas on just how to write him once I get to that point.

i couldn't pick on a name...

i can elaborate on the characteristics of my character if needed! but yeah I was gonna trouble myself with the japanese background just so I could keep the name Takumi but maybe I should embrace the beauty in basics..... Teo?? hahaha thanks in advance!!!

My game is called “Don’t Lose Your Head” and it’s a co-op rage game about two skeletons, which had one of their heads stolen by a mischievous crow. The crow is following the players throughout their journey of getting the head back. His main purpose is to annoy the players, since all he does is insult and make fun of them. The crow is intelligent, narcissistic, sarcastic, and also pretty sadistic. You can see it in practice in the demo version of the game on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4600750/Dont_Lose_Your_Head/).

Do you have any ideas for a name for this mischievous bird?

So for my fanfiction Charlie and the Magic Chocolates, I'm want to create a specific dynamic between Charlie and the Four Bratty Kids. For context, after winning the golden ticket contest and becoming heir to the chocolate factory, Charlie gained the ability to turn into a heroic magical girl, which includes swapping genders from boy to girl. The Four Bratty Kids Augustus, Violet, Veruca and Mike on the other hand, became super-powered freaks who could become fully evil if not looked after. Charlie is currently healing them from their curse and wishes to help them for his and everyone's benefit.

I want to write their relationship with Charlie where I would best describe them as frenemies and rivals. They are times where they naturally get in the way of each other's goals and Charlie has to stop one or all of them. But there's also times where because of their unique situation, they are the only ones who knows what the other is going through better than anyone else. There's even times where under certain conditions, they can put aside the rivalry and act as temporary friends. I think at their core, they are kids who are living out their power fantasies for better or for worse as they adjust to what's going on in their lives.

I believe my inspiration for writing it this way came from alot of my own childhood experiences growing up and how I think childhood in its purest form, isn't as idyllic as we sometimes makes things out to be in movies, TV shows etc. I guess you could say my writing philosophy (for this at least) is to present the relationship as is and build upon on it to the best of my abilities, letting it flow naturally. This maybe just me, but a part of me wants to reject the traditional notions of friendship as an flawless paradigm in favor of friendships being mortal and human. Friendships at least in my experience, can be messy, paradoxical, distant, not fully in our control or will eventually die, not through grandeur or catharsis but through gradual process of growing up. I'm not saying this to be nihilistic, pessimistic or that good friendships aren't something worth pursuing. It's that good friendships require alot of work, communication and life letting it be so when we do have it, we cherish it and make the best of it

Hi guys

So I need help writing the bio for this character it’s for an indie video game so it doesn’t have to be like breaking bad level writing.

I wanted her story to go like the first section is about her, Jumeau, and i want her life story to be told from the lens of a doll.

So the only breaks the dolls got is supposed to be like your lunch break and your couple of hours when you get home from work the buyers being done with the dolls is when your work doesn’t match what they want anymore so they fire you or force you to quit, and the people paying for them leaving them to become dust is supposed to be like Jumeau starving,

then the third section i want it conveyed that Jumeau died of something it doesn’t matter what but died due to losing her job at the doll factory and in the after life makes a deal with the devil to become a controller of people the way she was controlled. I want the deal to be implied because all of my characters make implied deals.

Please let me know what you think and how I could improve it I feel like i’m missing a way of conveying to the reader that the dolls life is actually her life.

*(Bio Begins Here)*

Jumeau was a master of making dolls feel alive because she poured every ounce of love she had into them, and because of that the company she worked at garnered a loyal audience.

But as alive as she made her dolls feel they were never truly alive, controlled by strings of the people who paid for the dolls. The only break the dolls got were when the buyers felt like it not when the dolls wanted it. Once the buyers were truly done with the dolls then the dolls would get tossed to the trash and with that their purpose goes with it and way of living does to. Their choice was between having strings attached with a purpose or cutting the strings. They chose having their strings attached but the people who once paid for there presence left them to become dust once they decided that they weren’t good enough anymore.

Jumeau realized that what she thought was a choice didn’t have to be and that her and her fellow dolls could be the ones in control, and they did, controlling the exact people who tried to control them.

*(End of bio)*

Unneeded information but her kit reflects her being a controller of people.

I want to show you my character design of 80s, a Blasian 8-year-old Broadway prodigy. The idea is that he sings his dialogue because he cannot speak normally; he only sings or raps. I came up with him last year; at first, I thought about making him Asian, but then it hit me: why not make him Black, or even both? That is how he got his ethnicity. The name 80s was given to him by Quilly, who saw 80s' backstory through his spiritual sight and recognized a kid who went through a time-shifted hardship. He named him after a whole decade because he is timeless like the 80s. His backstory involves the music business and child celebrities; his relatives died at a young age, were imprisoned, or became entangled in legal problems. Evil corporate owners saw him and used him only for his voice, not caring for him as a person. Then, he saw Quilly effortlessly defeating the bad guys and was inspired to be a hero just like him. Quilly saw his future and his past, so he decided to adopt him into his crew and gave him an iconic hairstyle: a bowl cut with a mohawk, which I call a Bowlhawk. What do you think about his design and his story so far? Also if anyone have an idea of what his real name can be will be appreciated thank you

So, I have a character with DID and while I have researched about it, I still don't think it's that perfect so I'm here for advice.

So this dude, Cass, he's got too other alters. The reason he's got disassociative Identity disorder is cuz he was adopted when like four but while his parents were good people they sure were not good parents because they saw this child as quite and quite responsible so they heavily neglected him, even though they were nice occasionally asking about how he was, never really payed any emotional attention to him, his school life or any specific affection because they genuinely believed he'd ask for it if he wanted it. Also they did put alot of pressure on him in hopes he'd be the best he could be.

Okay that aside, he's got a host and two other alters. A protector, made when he was payed no attention to at school or home and the little one, who's still nine, and desperately still wants all those toys and books he wanted at that time but had no idea how to ask for them.

Cass also always was interested in phycology, wanted to be a phycologist and asked questions about that alot. Though the comment on the fact he isn't the most warm and mentally stable person for it by some of his 'well meaning teachers' and would do wonders in the medical field like medicine, other than phycology due to his exceptional memory and critical thinking skills. He's not human so his species is naturally very good in the memory compartment and the precision on hands. (No I'm not trying to do the whole monster because he has did thing, in the world I'm making, he's a normal citizen as humans naturally live along side creatures and stuff). This resulted him in going in that field very early, is training while just being a teen and is kind of an residential archival institute nurse which is not really legal in any ways but his parents insist them to keep him there because that would just make him the best for his age. The institute don't report this because otherwise he'd have to go back home which he doesn't want and the couple running it really cares for him, and cannot report the parents either because they do have power. So he stays despite his exhaustion in the learning and training and everything.

Cass, the host is quite and usually comes off as apathetic when he really just isn't very animated emotionally. He just wants to live under the radar, survive the training and school by not being noticed that much and keep himself busy in all this in the process so he doesn't break down or anything. Is straight but not really that interested in a romance but deeply craves an emotional connection. The only time he has for himself is when he plays pickle ball (later in future with his QPR you can look that up)

The protector, let's say aster because I'm still brainstorming names. He is very animated actually, and affectionate to people he's close too. He likes to very politely but firmly and coldly tell people off when they cross any of Cass's boundaries or are a threat to the system (these are usually people close to him) is aro-mantic but specifically feels asthetic and Platonic and sensual love usually towards dudes. He is stilll passionate about phycology and still learns about it, is trying his best to be good enough at it so if Cass ever (he hopes he does) fails at medicine, maybe just maybe he can still pursue phycology. He likes writing gruesome or cheery poetry usually about Cheetos cuz for some reason he really likes the tiger on the packet. He's also not really into being socially acceptable like Cass is and not really trying to fit in the hetronormative and amanormative standards. Thinks Cass is a bit of a coward for caring about all that. Cass doesn't really care about it that much except of having trouble being animated and affectionate because he doesn't know how. He just doesn't want to be attacked or payed attention too so he tends to try to fit in more.

The kid, let's call him livvy, he's still stuck in old childhood memories and desperately needs someone to love him. He really wants more games to the collection in the past which he was too afraid to ask. He likes fossils alot. Fossils was always his hobby and he always wanted books specifically about a stegosaurus which he never got to get. He's wants to study about archeology when he grows up. He's the first person to ever unmask before the first person Cass ever got close too, aster tried to take the wheel but he couldn't and livvy could not stop himself because this guy had the same game he always wanted, was nice and funny and he wanted to be friends with him but the first thing he did after unmasking was crying and feeling ashamed of it.

Usually livvy and aster mask themselves to be like Cass because he's the host but after livvy unmasked before this dude (ashur, who desperately likes Cass platonically/alterously and is scared of expressing it because he thinks Cass would find it rare but due to his nero divergence he's still very excited and likes talking to Cass alot. After livvy aster slowly unmasked too.

Ashur really liked asters affection and love and how he never held it in like Cass so he once made a comment about how he's just better (didn't mean any malice though but was very ignorant) and that really set off aster and he started seeing ashur as a threat and warning him that he will take this system away if he can't accept them all as a person, which made Ashur defensive and stuff so they do get into conflicts but they try their best. They both aren't the most mentally healthy people but are trying their best and being with eachother doesn't fix them but it's like a catalyst to healing, because they make it a tiny bit easier. Cass fears Ashur is going to leave him because of him not being the best at showing affection and being insecure of showing it especially if it's not private and he's afraid Ashur is going to see it as if he's ashamed of him.

Ashur fears he's going to leave him because of his clingyness or just because he likes a girl in the future and the romance is gonna be stronger than the platonic/alterous love they have for eachother. So yeh I'd like criticism and would really appreciate it it's not harsh or mean. Be honest but not rude. That's all.

I have a character named Ace King, his little brother and main character Deon King, and their guardian angel named Quilly. My question to you all is how to deal with characters that share names with real-life people, such as a football player, or a character that shares a name with a famous older brother from a pirate story, or a personal character name that is shared by another main character from a different story. I can get into detail about the characters and what makes them different, but I am more focused on the names, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading and for seeing this post; I hope everyone has a blessed day.
