What is included in geological survey licence given to Lykos?

Jezero was famous throughout the history as a beautiful place. Even Illyrian queen Teuta had a place for rest in Jezero.

Jezero has a lot of water springs and a lot of lakes and ponds. Pliva river is flowing through Jezero and that is the one of the most clean river in the country.

Lake Djol is the famous resting place where a lot if tourists are coming during the year. There are a lot of water springs in Jezero municipality. Water is clean and healthy.

Many of these natural beauties are included in geological survey licence that is given to Lykos group.

Time had come for Edda’s hair to turn grey as well. She wasn’t too worried about reaching her old age however, having accepted a long time ago that time wasn’t a thing to be stopped. She returned to her studies with her cauldron, but this time something went horribly wrong. All of a sudden a dark, putrid smoke started billowing out from it and she fell to the floor. Roko and Hel, who had been excitedly observing her, also fainted. It seemed to affect all of them except the little boy, Lykos, who got very scared. Thankfully, his father and grandmothers woke up a little while later. This seemed to put Edda off using the cauldron and she decided then that she wouldn’t use it when others were near in the future.

...

It was soon time for Leon to become a child, with all that it meant. For him, much stayed the same. He was still a calm boy with great imagination who loved to play with his sticks and stones, much as his father had done when he was younger. And he loved being a big brother, adoring little Lykos with all his heart.

I had a freaking heart attack when that happened, not gonna lie

NAME. Jerrik Lykos AGE & BIRTH DATE. 37 & November 26th, 1983 GENDER & PRONOUNS. Male & He/Him SPECIES. Shapeshifter ( Direwolf ) OCCUPATION. Personal Trainer & Underground Fighter FACE CLAIM. Sebastian Stan

BIOGRAPHY

( tw: murder, limb loss, mental illness ) The Lykos family had been one that spanned across generations since the birth of one Fenrir, also known as Hakon. They had all been taught about the greatness of the man descended from the god Loki himself. Jerrik had been the firstborn of two siblings. Whereas his brother had ended up being a witch who would prepare the dead of the Häljesta, he had been born a shifter. This meant that he was to protect the dead, protect the graves of those whose lives had been lost. As a child, he knew that was his purpose. Never had he thought anything else of himself. So he trained and trained the best he could all while taking care of his brother. He didn’t need protecting most of the time, but he felt it was his duty as the eldest sibling to protect him as well. That was all he ever saw himself as. A protector.

Luckily, Arvid did have Jerrik to look after him. Wherever one went, the other followed. Jerrik would always remember the day he had feared for his brother’s life. One minute, they were skating on the ice that had frozen over the lake. The next, he had fallen through and was flailing for help. He had known the other wouldn’t be able to use his magic to get out of it. His instincts had kicked in immediately upon seeing his brother’s head submerge beneath the water. Through Hel and high water, he was going to protect his brother with his life. So he had ran as fast as he could toward Arvid to pull him from beneath the water and onto the surface. The look on his brother’s face had caused tears to fall from his eyes and it had been a lesson learned for them both. Death could come to them at any time. What if they didn’t have each other? Jerrik could not and would not ever think of such a thing. They would have each other always until their last dying breaths.

Jerrik did have her own life though. Although he always looked to protect his brother, he knew that it was always his job to protect the dead of her family. He had never been near the remains of Fenrir as a child. However, as he grew older, he could be seen as someone that would never turn his back on his duty. They were lucky to have him, he always thought. They were lucky to have him and Arvid. Devotion ran through their veins. Loyalty was something they would never take for granted. Perhaps it was because they had always been loyal to each other. Who would ever turn their back on family? It seemed pitiful to even think about. It made him think of the dark beings that roamed around in the dark. He was a descendant of Loki, but he was no malicious being. Or so he had thought until life proved otherwise.

Him and his brother’s lives were intertwined. Jerrik was a protector and protect he would do. His brother had been insulted, made to think he was lesser than because of his status as a witch. Arvid had trusted that man and, unbeknownst to him, his brother had not. Jerrik would never forget that sadness that he saw in his brother’s eyes. Or the anger. That anger had reached him tenfold. When he noticed Arvid attack the other boy, he had butted in to stop the assault. No, that would not be something he would let him do.

I’m a protector.

That was what he had told himself as he walked his brother home that day.

I’m a protector.

That was what he told himself as he snuck out in the middle of the night to find the boy who had wronged his brother.

I’m a protector.

That was what he thought as he turned into a dire wolf and ripped that boy’s head clean from his body. It was for his brother so it would be fine. Right?

As he watched one of the former witches of the coven turn to the dark, he thought of what he had done. Out of anger. For the safety of his brother. If anyone dared to hurt him, he would kill them. However, as he looked upon the crying form of one of the son’s of the leader of the Lykos, he felt different. Anger crept through him once again. Selfishly, that boy had become a genasi. What reason did he have to do it? Surely, he wasn’t protecting his siblings like Jerrik had been. No, he had reason to do what he had done. That was what he always told himself. Through all of the anger that was within his body, he always told himself that he had a reason. Surely, Arvid would think so as well. Why hadn’t he told him though? He remembered the anger in his eyes watching that genasi be excommunicated. He could forgive him, but would Arvid ever forget what he had done? He had stopped his brother from doing exactly what he had executed. The little voice in his head told him he had done the right thing. As long as he protected the family, he was doing the right thing.

Maybe it would have been better if Jerrik protected himself though. He had always been about doing so for those around him, but he had never once thought danger would come to him. If he could protect others, surely he wouldn’t need to worry about himself ever. How ever was he wrong with whenever that thought went through his head. He had remembered the numbness that came from his shoulder socket when he had gotten into the altercation with a vampire. It had been a dark night and he had been out drinking. Never did he think that he would get into such a situation where his left arm would get crushed. Adrenaline had saved him from getting any further damage, but all he felt as he walked home was numbness. His eyes had gone black and he had passed out not far from where he lived. Jerrik still couldn’t remember what happened after that, but all he could truly remember was that he woke up with one less limb than he had when he had passed out.

It had taken months to get him to do something about it. Jerrik had been trying to do everything one-handed as he stayed within his home, but it had become too exhausting. He needed to try to move on with his life which was how he had ended up going up to another shifter who had been a welder. Anders had built him a new arm and one of the witches in the coven had spelled it to do whatever he desired with animation. It was an adjustment for Jerrik to get used to, but he had never been one to back down from any challenge. No matter how difficult it may have been.

Of course problem after problem would come to fruition. Just when he thought he was okay, Hakon’s bones were stolen right under their watch. Jerrik would have been the first to blame himself even if he was not the one that had been on watch at that time. To him, it was up to all of them to protect those they had lost. Nevertheless, the loss had been a hit to them all with Anders heading to Corinth Bay where they thought said bones would be. It took a only a few minutes for Arvid and Jerrik to volunteer to go with, but of course they were denied. Why would they ever be the ones sent to deal with something as precious as Hakon’s bones? Luckily, Arvid was more persistent than he. As soon as they all stopped hearing from Anders, the younger of the two brothers had volunteered them again to go with Hela to seek out Anders and the bones they had lost. Thankfully, they were given the right to go. And Jerrik was only left with the thought that he always could have done more. And now all he was doing was protecting Hela. Oh how far he thought the mighty had fallen.

PERSONALITY

+ curious, confident, wise - impatient, hot-headed, wise

Red Rising characters and Elements #1 :

Don't ask, just go with it...

Darrow of Lykos:

Fire: lava and volcanic ash, wildfires, dancing around bonfires, sleeping near the fireplace, lightning storms, walking out of fire, body heat

Earth: red soil warm with blood, red dust on big hands, volcanic eruptions, the upper parts of the mountains where the vegetationbis spares and the air thin, evergreen woods in the winter, wooden masks despicting demonic faces, black sand beaches

Air: free-falling, sitting on the edge of the earth, the fresh, salty air on the beach, the wind blowing gently on the mountainside, the sweet breeze in a flower garden

Water: waterfalls, still waters run deep, being chained to the seafloor, falling asleep with tear on your cheek, jumping off a cliff into water, bloody hands that don't get clean

Sevro au Barca

Fire: lighting a cigarette on a freezing night, revenge by arson, blowing candles on a birthday cake, the fierce walk out of an explosion, playing with a lighter by passing the flame near the palm of your hand

Earth: sharpening metal, throwing rocks skillfully, shaking off the dust, target practise on tree trunks

Air: falling off a cliff, sandstorms, harsh winds in winter, the wind howling with the wolves, gasping for air

Water: slurping rainwater from the cup of your hand, luxuriating in hot water, being drenched after a workout, dacing a tango with the devil in the pouring rain, bloodbaths

Virginia au Augustus:

Fire: blue flamed fires, a single candle burning in the dark, fireworks

Earth: a black stallion running on a beach at sunset, being knocked down and rising up without dusting yourself, 'rolling in the mud', hiding in the hay, a lioness hunting, green and red apples, sand and salt

Air: the fresh air in the morning, the silence during snowfalls, counting the breaths of a ill loved one

Water: rising to the surface of the water, staying awake to see the morning dew, bleeding from all wounds old and new, still lakes deep within evergreen forests, keeping calm and still to stay afloat while everything unravels and burns around you, the fury of the sea, waves crashing on the side of the cliffs, sea foam carressing the shore, soft rain after a wildfire

Val: Ugh, why do we have to do this, Rayden?

Rayden: Well, your majesty, you certainly don't have to do anything that displeases you, but I feel documenting the two of you would benefit posterity.

Kenna: (Takes Val's hand) Please, my love. Let's get through this and then we can (whispers in Val's ear) later, ok?

Val: (Eyes go wide, and she smiles with a wide grin) Ok, I'm in. Ask away, fancy man.

Raydan: With pleasure. For starters, would you both mind giving your account of your first meeting?

Kenna: It was actually quite stressful. Gabriel and I were searching for those who would fight to help reclaim Stormholt, and a mercenary camp was the last place I expected to find the one that I love more than anything or anyone.

Val: You're telling me. Fighting, ale, and gold are nice, but holy hells was that place a sausage fest. Then out of nowhere, this breathtaking beauty shows up and changes everything. As much as I tried to act tough, I spent the first few days knowing her trying to control the shaking in my knees.

Kenna: Aw, Val (they kiss)

Rayden: (Clear his throat) Perhaps that type of affection would be more appropriate later.

Val: You got a problem with me kissing my wife, fancy man? (Cups Kenna's face and kisses her repeatedly). Let me tell you something, asshole. I kiss my wife. A lot. I don't care who sees or who might have a problem so you'd better get used to it. And for the record, I'm going to be doing a lot more than just kissing her tonight.

Kenna: (Blushes) Val! Raydan doesn't need to know that.

Val: (Smirks) He didn't, but the next best thing to having sex with you is bragging about to arrogant pricks who actually thought they had a chance with you.

Rayden: You know I can hear you, right?

Val: Hells yeah, I do.

Rayden: Ugh, you're never going to forgive me for shooting you with an arrow.

Val: That and hitting on my wife.

Rayden: But she wasn't...

Val: Doesn't matter. Make with the questions so we can all get out of here.

Raydan: (Sighs) When did you both know that you were meant to be together? (Looks at Kenna) And are you both certain you've completely thought it through.

Val: Oh, look Mr. Jealous losing his cool.

Kenna: (Shifts uncomfortably) ...anyway, I knew that Val was the one shortly after we reclaimed Stormholt from (gags) Marco Nevrakis. She and I went for a walk in the forests that I'd missed for two years. Dom and I used to play hide and seek there, and it was special to share with Val after so long. We held hands as we walked among the trees, which made my heart soar. And when I spied a lake, I desperately wanted to suggest we bathe together, but I wasn't sure how she felt yet.

Val: That really sucks. It would've been so hot if that was our first time.

Kenna: To be fair, we've been together several times since. And I don't think the beaches of Lykos was a bad place for us to consummate our relationship.

Val: You're not wrong. As for me, it was shortly before the battle of Stormholt. I was pretty sure I would be fine, but you never know, and I realized why I had such a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't stand the thought of one or both of us dying before I had a chance to tell Kenna how I feel. I didn't want to distract her or cause unnecessary drama before a fight, so I swore that I would protect her and myself, and we would both live on to declare our love.

Kenna: (Wraps her arms around Val) That's incredibly sweet, my love.

Raydan: Loathe as I am to ask this, but if you were to imagine your ideal holiday, what would you see?

Val: Oh, we've been to lots of beautiful places. My personal favorite is my homeland of Ebrimel, but as long as I get to be around naked Kenna the whole time, I'd call that a win.

Raydan: (Turns to Kenna) That's not true, is it?

Kenna: (Blushes and smiles at Val) What's wrong with that, Raydan? Val and I are devoted wives and should be allowed to enjoy each other's company in a state of undress if it pleases us (eyes Val up and down) and gazing upon Val in the nude pleases me a great deal.

Raydan: (Groans)

Val: Grow up, Raydan. Don't act like Kenna's the only woman out there.

Raydan: But she's the best of them.

Val: Don't I know it? (Kisses Kenna) But still, plenty of beautiful women in the world, so just turn on that classic Raydan charm and seduce one of them already.

Raydan: I suppose... (pauses) ...so what's the biggest challenge you've faced as a couple.

Val: Very subtle, Raydan.

Kenna: Oh, you two are impossible, and I'd say that's the biggest challenge. Val always thinks people are flirting with me.

Val: (Rolls her eyes) Yes, Kenna, I only think that. No one is interested in literally the most beautiful woman of all time. They'd much rather stay with their partners than make love to a goddess.

Kenna: Well, I... (smiles at Val's kissy faces, noticing Raydan wincing at the sight) I suppose it's the occasional jealousy that can create tension between us. And I'll have you know that many a man and woman have made their desire for Val known.

Val: Well, duh, Kenna. Obviously, it's going to take a fellow goddess to win your heart.

Raydan: I'm positive that asking this question would be ill-advised, but what's your favorite thing about each other?

Val: How much time you got?

Raydan: Perhaps we can exclude comments about physical attributes.

Val: You don't want to hear me gush about how delightful it is to massage Kenna's perfect breasts, how round and flawless her ass is, or how good she tastes in between her legs?

Raydan: (Breaths heavily) Yes, those are the kind of details I'm looking to avoid.

Val: Suit yourself, but that would be a lot more fun. I love that, I don't know what you'd call it, but her strength, maybe. Whatever it is, it's that quality in her that stirs peoples souls and makes them swear loyalty to her, even prepared to die for her.

Raydan: I know what you mean. Kenna?

Kenna: Sorry, Raydan, but I love Val's amorous nature. I may act annoyed at Val's constant touching, but I really swoon when she's affectionate. There's a million other things I could describe, like her heroic courage, compassion for animals, and sense of humor, but I can't resist her when she's in a touchy-feely mood.

Val: Which is pretty much all the time.

Raydan: Yes! I get it. You touch Kenna a lot.

Val: Well, sorry, Raydan, but just remember that this was all your idea.

Kenna: I have to agree with my wife. If you didn't want to know the details of our love, you shouldn't have asked us to participate.

Raydan: (Takes a slow, deep breath) Very well, your majesties. I shall stay calm for the remainder. Last question: where do you both see yourselves in five years?

Val: Still kicking ass by day (wraps her arm around Kenna) and enjoying ass by night.

Kenna: (Laughs) That sounds about right. Our hope is always to improve the lives of our people, but I imagine that Val and I will largely be *ahem* together in every possible capacity.

Raydan: (Stands up abruptly) Ok, we're done here. And if you'll excuse me, I need to take a cold bath.

Rayden: Well, your majesty, you certainly don't have to do anything that displeases you, but I feel documenting the two of you would benefit posterity.

Kenna: (Takes Val's hand) Please, my love. Let's get through this and then we can (whispers in Val's ear) later, ok?

Val: (Eyes go wide, and she smiles with a wide grin) Ok, I'm in. Ask away, fancy man.

Val: Take care of those blue balls! (Walks back to Raydan) And next time, don't stare at a woman for hours on end without her knowledge and permission, and then brag about it. Creepy as hells, fancy man, now go have fun pleasuring yourself while Kenna and I pleasure each other. @everythingchoices @sibella-plays-choices @kinda-iconic @noeschoices @strangelycami @cora-nova @jellymonster @hopefulmoonobject @standoutofthecrowd @mfackenthal @pcktsprgrl @carabeth @crazypeanat @justtheaverageblog1 @bhavf @sleeping-with-her06 @sansaisalesbian @itspixelberrychoicestime @reneeliddell @classylady1234 @yestrueloveisreal @gavryllo @stungbycallows @galaxyside-0 @demonknightrevelations @desiree-0816 @sirbeepsalot @alj4890 @darley1101 @leelee10898 @itsstillnotwhatyouthink @lolablackwrites @writtenbycandy @k--e--i @lizeboredom @h-doodles @rainbowsinthestorm @queerchoicesblog @ofreapersandwolves @romanticatheart-posts @missevabean

'Lo fellow Howler! Welcome! Can you tell us something about your faves? Btw, if u feel like talking about the RR trilogy you can find me at darrowsrising (like Darrow's Rising).💖

Heya! Always happy to talk about these sad, sad children, but it’s so hard to choose definite faves when they’re all so g o o d

So, in no particular order, here’s my top few:

1. Darrow of Lykos

Like I said in my introduction post, I know he’s a bit of a basic pick, but still. First impression while reading RR was that Darrow is a more mature and realistic take on a typical YA protagonist. He wasn’t some spunky kid- he was a man, with responsibilities and a life. It was honestly refreshing to read about a person who had a good head on their shoulders and who didn’t immediately take to the lofty ideals of revolution. Right off the bat, his arrogance and recklessness were on full display, giving him relatable, humanizing flaws that didn’t stem from a tragic backstory and couldn’t be cured with a rousing speech or two. In fact, they aren’t really cured at all- the bravery and showmanship of his actions is often exactly what the SoA need at any given point, and it’s been really awesome to watch him recognize that about himself, harness the more negative and harmful aspects of his personality, and eventually put them to good use. He’s got so much more depth to him than a ‘tough guy with a heart of gold’ type too- Like he’s just out for blood at one point, but them his worldview is tossed around about a hundred times and he doesn’t know what to believe about the world anymore because he’s overwhelmed by the sheer size and complexity of it all. It’s such a real feeling that isn’t usually the focus of fiction like this agh

Oh, and I love that he makes mistakes ALL THE TIME. His plans don’t always work out. He kills some people he really shouldn’t have, spares some people who didn’t deserve it. He learns a lot over the course of the Institute, the Agustus-Bellona war, and the Rising through lessons that don’t feel cheap or unearned. He’s simple yet smart, deeply flawed yet totally badass, and he grows into a man worth respecting. Love ‘im.

2. Sevro Au Barca

Another popular boyo but hey, what can you do? At first I didn’t like good ‘ol Goblin. Vulgar characters aren’t usually very high on my list and I was pretty enthralled with what a cinnamon bun Julian (RIP) was to pay attention to that weirdo upon initial meeting. I was convinced he would fill the minor antagonist role for a while (though that role went to Titus pretty early on).

Then, he saved Darrow and Cassius from the lake and we got a better look at him. Gotta say, once the Howlers got started properly, I really began to get attached to the guy. He wasn’t pretty, but the sheer earnestness and trueness of his character and his loyalty to Darrow was unseen amongst the Golds met within the Institute or in the days after. Unlike Cassius or some of the other members of House Mars, Sevro was never after power, wasn’t full of himself or deluded into believing the superiority or honorableness of his color. He was just him- gross and vulgar and crazy for all the world to see. He didn’t really become one of my favorites until Golden Son though, when Darrow realized that Sevro had figured out who he really was, and had still accepted him wholeheartedly and without judgment. I mean, damn. I cried real tears there. 10/10 best friend anyone could ever ask for.

(And he got more of an independent part in MS so that’s a win)

3. The Jackal

Oooohhhh man, the Jackal. I’ve already said he terrifies me.

The build up to him in the first book was so well done I-

And the scene where he cuts his hand off-

Oh and the small acts of ruthlessness and cruelty littered throughout Golden Son-

I mean I’ve seen a fair share of INTJ villains before but he’s just so brilliantly done like wow. I can’t figure out exactly what to say about him but he’s definitely one of my favorite literary villains of all time.

4. Roque Au Fabii (Forgive me)

Okay hear me out on this one. Of course I was angry with him in the end. He killed thousands of people in the name of pride (personal, cultural, and racial) and betrayed the friends he had fought side by side with for years on largely irrational and emotional grounds. Unlike Tactus, he didn’t show in inch of shame for any of it when the end came.

But I was completely in love with him in the first two books. He would have easily been my #1 pick if I’d been asked this about a week ago. I guess it’s the archetype he falls into as a poet, or the genuine friendship and wise, heartfelt advice he offers to counter Darrow’s driven, tunnel-vision attitude. Heck, he was even really sympathetic through most of Golden Son- from his perspective, it actually did look like Darrow was being a terrible, negligent person who took others for granted and was completely willing to sacrifice his friends in an arbitrary quest for power.

And, like Darrow, I did feel for him as he died even after he had betrayed them all for despicable cause. I know I should, but I just can’t muster up the hate a lot of other people seem to have for him. It’s not just the misunderstood artsy type that’s getting me here either- I just felt like he could’ve been better. He was a good man- among the best of the golds. And yet just like you’d expect of a Gold, he fell prey to the inevitable flaws of those at the top. Pride, entitlement, and a resistance to change all lead to his bittersweet demise. I have more thoughts on him, but I think i’ll sit on it a while longer before I really go off so don’t judge these half baked rambles as a real opinion on the matter lol

5. Eo of Lykos

Underrated af. I think a lot of people write her off as exactly what Darrow described her as in RR. More of a motivation, or some lost dream that was to be worshiped and held on a pedestal for the rest of the series than a standalone character. But she was as much a character as anyone else- she had real flaws and made irresponsible, selfish choices to stay true to what she believed in. She wasn’t an angel, and she didn’t end up coming back from the Vale or whatever to tell Darrow how proud she was or to stay faithful to her for life. Like Sevro, she was just a person living authentically and fearlessly for what felt inside, regardless of consequence. I can appreciate that sort of thing, especially in a female character. It’s also really interesting to have gone back and reread her chapters as Darrow’s view of his late wife develops throughout the series. You start to see past his unreliable narration of Eo’s perfection and recognize the girl behind the song.

Ye. That’s probably too many characters to count as Faves, and I haven’t even talked about Cassius yet, but I just had to say a piece about each because I have zero self control. Thanks for asking, by the way!!

Hello darling!

I just loved reading the latest two chapters of the serie, and I just wanted to tell you how amazing they have been! The slowburn, and how amazing the relationship between the Lykos members and y/N is, developing at such a natural pace, ugh... I love it so much. You writing is wonderful, and I feel addicted to it really. Whenever I open Tumblr I'm hoping to see a new chapter popping up on my feed to be honest :)))

Felix's backstory was heartbreaking, and I teared up a bit because the poor baby doesn't deserve this 😭 I enjoyed seeing how closer he and y/N got, and the fact that everyone is slowly warming up to her!!! Woah. I am stunned.

Also intrigued because I can't seem to figure out of Chan has the same dreams as y/N, or if he already recognized her from his past, or maybe he didn't realized, or perhaps she's reincarnated? Or maybe she's a god and her memories got whipped off or something?! There are so many options to this and I can't seem to see what will happen next, but I am expecting some drama after that cliffhanger!

Also, the lake scene was so cute!!! 😍 The fact that it wasn't overly romanticized as I've seen in many situations, and was just described so realistically, and their reactions were what I think I would've reacted like!!! Yesss, I loved it. Every bit of it!!!

Also, would you be so kind and add me to the tag list please? I wouldn't want to miss anything 😜

Anyways, I hope you have a great end of the weekend!!!!

~ Honey ❤️

hello there!! :DD thank you so much for reading!! i’m so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the last few chapters hehe, that means so much to me to hear. i’m really glad you’re enjoying the pacing of everything as well !! i tried to make it as realistic as possible without drawing it out for too long so i’m relieved to hear that all those aspects are coming across well :) but i’m so honored that you’re so excited for upcoming chapters!! oh my goodness! maybe i’ll have to post early occasionally hehehe…who knows ;))

but omg noooo don’t cry!! 😭😭 felix did get a pretty upsetting backstory here, but i do definitely think he and y/n were able to grow closer because of it. everyone does seem to be warming up to our dearest y/n though!! whether or not that’s good ofc is entirely up to your perspective tho hehe 🤔🤔

and i must say that these are all very good theories…hehehe 🍿🍿 i cannot reveal anything atm but you can definitely expect some drama to come very soon!!

i’m really glad you liked the lake scene too!! that kind of scene is one of my favorite tropes lolll so i really wanted to try to include it, but not make it uncomfortable or weird/creepy like i’ve seen in some other forms of media. so i’m super happy to hear you enjoyed it! :))

and i will absolutely add you to the taglist bestie!!i’m so so glad you’re enjoying everything so far, thank you so much again for reading and for leaving such a sweet ask 💛💛 i hope you have a wonderful end of your weekend as well!! :))

#beck answers 💌#honeygummy #finally finished my midterms today so i’m just now getting to go thru my inbox 😩 apologies for the late reply!#fic: for reasons wretched and divine

Julian Standford

Apodo: -

Edad: 24 años.

Status: Alfa heredero.

Perfume: Intenso y amargo, como café.

Carrera: Economía (quinto año).

Lugar de Origen: Chesterbrook, Pensilvania, U.S.A

Historia Personal

Julian es el hijo mayor de la manada Standford III y por lo tanto es sobre quien se depositan las expectativas de la familia. Los Standford adhieren a la cultura tradicional de un linaje fuerte: un único heredero que adopta otro alfa como omega y continúa así con la tradición.

Criado para la excelencia, Julian comenzó su formación mucho antes de desarrollas las hormonas y para la edad de 13 años comenzó a participar de algunas tareas en la empresa de su padre. Además de los estudios y el trabajo siempre fue muy activo en los clubes y eventos sociales de la zona este y aunque cosechó varios vínculos románticos y platónicos a lo largo de su vida, nunca fueron su prioridad.

El único descanso de sus obligaciones sucedía en los veranos, cuando pasaba tiempo en la casa de campo de sus padres en Lake Lure. Allí dedicaba su tiempo a su caballo, la pesca y admirar el paisaje. La única chica que quizás amó solía trabajar allí, pero era una beta y no tenían mucho futuro, por lo que Julian pronto la olvidó.

Ingresó a la Universidad con un plan claro: fortalecer la manada estratégicamente, con betas dedicados a rubros oportunos, y encontrar una Alfa decente a la cual marcar. Dalia era una primera opción pero le bastó conocer un poco más a la joven para saber que era un caso perdido.

Gustos y Disgustos:

Disfruta pasar tiempo al aire libre, andar a caballo, las sábanas caras y los almohadones mullidos. Le desagradan los alfa con mala etiqueta, la impertinencia, el romanticismo. Odia las reuniones sociales descontracturadas, prefiere la etiqueta y el orden. No mira televisión.

Relaciones:

→Dalia Van Berger. Julian conocía a Dalia de varios eventos en europa, cuando acompañaba a su padre por trabajo. Siempre la encontró agradable y digna de su jerarquía, pero no fue hasta un evento en Italia, cuando él tenía 18 y ella 15, que notó por primera vez lo bonita que era. Intentó cortejarla sutilmente, escuchandola hablar sobre lo que la apasionaba, pero pronto descubrió que su único interés era su manada. Saber que no podía marcarla no afectó el respeto y la apreciación que sentía por ella y desde entonces mantiene un trato cordial con el que intenta fortalecer la relación entre sus manadas.

→Gemma Styles. Julian está secretamente orgulloso de haber adivinado el futuro de Gemma. La conoció en eventos alfa junto a su familia y aunque reconoció su fuerza y sensatez, siempre supo que no estaba del todo hecha para ese rol. Nunca tuvo un trato cercano, pues en los pocos eventos en que la vio ella iba acompañada de su entonces omega, pero le agrada y la considera una buena opción para su futuro.

→Oliver Goldstein. Simon es el hermano menor de uno de los mejores amigos de Julian y los años compartidos en Lykos-River sirvieron para fortalecer el vínculo. Es muy responsable y respetuoso pero más importante aún, muy observador: recuerda a los alfas importantes y hace afortunados comentarios que ayudan a Julian a desenvolverse mejor. Es invaluable para la manada y Julian está agradecido de dejar un referente tan importante el Lykos-River al graduarsea.

→Otros: Harry Styles, Isaiah Goldstein, Elián Furriel, Lila Wolf.

Slashdot: The Mutant All-Female Crayfish, Which Reproduces by Cloning Itself, Is Filling Europe at Alarming Speed

The Mutant All-Female Crayfish, Which Reproduces by Cloning Itself, Is Filling Europe at Alarming Speed Published on February 07, 2018 at 03:45AM The marbled crayfish looks much like any other freshwater crustacean. It has two claws, ten legs, and an attractive blue-brown marbled shell. Yet this six-inch creature, found in streams and lakes around the world, is far more sinister than you might expect. From a report: Its new scientific name gives a few clues: Procambarus virginalis. Every marbled crayfish, known as a marmorkreb in German, is female -- and they reproduce by cloning themselves. Frank Lyko, a biologist at the German Cancer Research Center, first heard about the marbled crayfish from a hobbyist aquarium owner, who picked up some "Texas crayfish" at a pet shop in 1995. They were strikingly large, and they laid enormous batches of eggs -- hundreds, in a single go. Soon, the New York Times reports, the hobbyist was beset with so many crayfish he was giving them away to his friends. And soon after that, marmorkrebs were showing up in pet stores upon Europe. There was something very strange about these crayfish. They were all female, and they all laid hundreds of eggs without mating. These eggs, in turn, hatched into hundreds more females -- with each one growing up fully able to reproduce by herself. In 2003, scientists sequenced their DNA and confirmed what many owners already believed to be the case: Each baby crayfish was a clone of its mother, and they were filling Europe's fishtanks at alarming speed. Just 25 years ago, the marbled crayfish did not exist at all. Now, they can be found in the wild by the millions in Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, the Ukraine, Japan, and Madagascar.
