THINGS TO KNOW

Her timeline: Rain’s team was the first to go into the Spencer Mansion, shortly after both Birkin and Spence Parks had released the T-virus. RE 0 and RE1 respectively happened afterwards and the mansion was destroyed via Jill and Chris.

Her entire team, including her--was killed off. The only survivors were Matt Addison and Alice.

Annet Birkin took pity on her when they were collecting the DNA samples from the bodies and brought her back. When Annet died, Umbrella decided to use Rain years later to hunt down her old friend under Umbrella’s command, and with the help of Jill Valentine who was also under their command.

After regaining her memories, the Las Plagas was able to be extracted via a cure, but the T-Virus remains.

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE: Just a grumpy former soldier who is trying her hardest to help survivors and is extremely fucking tired of everyone’s bullshit and doesn’t trust anyone but Alice, Carlos & Jill.

TOP - SECRET: She’s still infected with a WEAK version of the T-Virus and if she bites someone they can turn in seconds. It’s not on her list of priorities, if ever. For this reason and for hating people in general, she’s a loner.

A bit like Ellie in the sense that you might have to distract a few people from doing a test or face the consequences. Rain is NOT immune and anymore of the virus could kill her/turn her completely. She has always been the weaker of the two: Alice and Rain. While Rain succumbed to her bites, Alice manipulated them.

Name: Alfonso Warner

Warner comes from the 2002 film, Resident Evil. Alongside it and loads of headcanons, my interpretation is also loosely based on the novelization, Resident Evil: Genesis. When interacting with him, there might be violence, blood, mild gore, and death.

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Blond

Face claim: Marc Logan-Black

Pronouns: He/him

Age: 29 at the time of the Hive Incident

Height: 5'11"/180 cm

Sexual/Romantic orientation: Heterosexual/heteroromantic

Occupation:

Former prison guard.

Paramilitary commando for the Umbrella Corporation.

If he survives in the Anderson flicks, jobless due to the apocalypse. He drifts around with different groups of survivors.

If he survives in the gameverse, he drifts between a bunch of construction and repair jobs.

Personality: Warner is the type of guy whose energy largely depends on those around him. When everyone else is lively and having fun, so is he. When they're sullen, he is as well. He prefers the company of others and doesn't enjoy time alone.

He's generally easygoing and a bit goofy, being most himself when he gets to tease, play, and joke around. He'll change plans at the drop of a hat if someone suggests something that sounds like a good time. Warner tends to be playfully cocky and loves competition.

He'll speak without thinking much if not at all, and has a... creative way of describing things.

Warner worked in Umbrella's security division up until a mission went horribly wrong in an underground research center of theirs. He lost most of his teammates in what would eventually be known as the Hive Incident. And not long after, the Raccoon City Incident occurred.

Some other stuff:

Warner's best friend is his fellow teammate at Umbrella, Vance Drew.

Their unit is known as Sanitation. It's led by Commander James "One" Shade. Other teammates include Rain Ocampo, J.D. Salinas, Chad Kaplan, and Olga Danilova.

Rain usually refers to him as "Alf". Like the puppet. When he was a kid, people called him "Alfie".

Warner's quite farsighted and needs glasses. He prefers contacts, though.

He grew up with two younger sisters and a father in Illinois.

He seriously loves fluffernutter sandwiches. They're a favorite of his.

His visage tag can be found here.

The Complete Crypto Investment Bible: Everything You Need to Know About Bitcoin, Ethereum, and More.

What is Cryptocurrency Investing?

Cryptocurrency investing is the act of buying and selling digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum in order to make a profit. Cryptocurrency investments are similar to investing in stocks and bonds, but with one important difference: cryptocurrency investments are unregulated and much more volatile than traditional investments. This means that investors must be careful when they are making decisions and must understand the risks that come with investing in cryptocurrency.

What are the Best Investing Books out there?

“The Internet of Money” by Andreas M. Antonopoulos

“Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor’s Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond” by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar

Name: Vance Drew

Vance comes from the 2002 film, Resident Evil. Alongside it and loads of headcanons, my interpretation is also loosely based on the novelization, Resident Evil: Genesis. When interacting with him, there might be violence, blood, mild gore, and death.

Eyes: Grey

Hair: Dark brown

Face claim: Torsten Jerabek

Pronouns: He/him

Age: 27 at the time of the Hive Incident

Height: 6'1"/185 cm

Sexual/Romantic orientation: Heterosexual/heteroromantic

Occupation:

Former NYPD police officer.

Paramilitary commando for the Umbrella Corporation.

If he survives in the Anderson flicks, jobless due to the apocalypse, but he primarily spends his time going around and trying to aid survivors.

If he survives in the gameverse, a member of TerraSave.

Personality: Vance is best described as quiet and phlegmatic. His stone-faced demeanor and tendency to contribute very little to conversations have earned him a bit of a reputation as a hardass. However, Vance is hardly that. He simply isn't animated or talkative.

With a lot of focus and drive, Vance isn't afraid of a little hard work. He has a strong sense of duty and takes his work seriously. Outside of the action, he prefers to relax and partake in more low energy activities, yet hardly stops his friends from dragging him out places. He never minds much. He enjoys existing around others.

If you need an ear to listen, he's a good person to turn to.

Vance worked in Umbrella's security division up until a mission went horribly wrong in an underground research center of theirs. He lost most of his teammates in what would eventually be known as the Hive Incident. And not long after, the Raccoon City Incident occurred.

Some other stuff:

Vance loves reading. He often has a book with him and will be going through four or five titles at the same time.

He's allergic to chocolate. He doesn't see it as a huge loss since he isn't fond of most sweet foods, anyway.

Throughout his life, most people have referred to him by his surname rather than his first name, but he doesn't actually have a preference either way.

He grew up as an only child with both parents.

His best friend is his fellow teammate at Umbrella, Alfonso Warner.

Their unit is known as Sanitation. It's led by Commander James "One" Shade. Other teammates include Rain Ocampo, J.D. Salinas, Chad Kaplan, and Olga Danilova.

I like to mess around with a lot of different ideas, but depending on how he survives the Hive Incident, he might be missing a good chunk of the fingers on his right hand. Sans his thumb.

His visage tag can be found here.

12 livros clássicos que descrevem perfeitamente os signos do zodíaco

Para os que acreditam em astrologia, a data de nascimento de cada pessoa interfere em tudo, até as preferências de leitura. A Bula reuniu em uma lista 12 clássicos fundamentais da literatura, sendo uma indicação para cada signo no Zodíaco. As escolhas foram baseadas nas características e conhecimentos populares dos estudos sobre os astros.

Se a personalidade das pessoas muda de acordo com a data de nascimento, as preferências de leitura também são diferentes pelo mesmo motivo. A Bula reuniu em uma lista 12 clássicos fundamentais da literatura, sendo uma indicação para cada signo no Zodíaco. As escolhas foram baseadas nas características e conhecimentos mais populares sobre a astrologia. Para os taurinos, por exemplo, que gostam de estabilidade e conforto, a dica é “Oblómov” (1877), de Ivan Gontcharóv; que conta a história de um senhor de terras que não sai do sofá. Já para os aquarianos, que geralmente são intelectuais e humanitários, o melhor livro seria “Os Miseráveis” (1937), escrito por Victor Hugo.

Áries O Senhor das Moscas (1954), de William Golding

Adaptado duas vezes para o cinema e traduzido para 35 idiomas, o clássico de William Golding já foi visto como uma alegoria, uma parábola, um tratado político e mesmo uma visão do apocalipse. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, um avião cai numa ilha deserta, e seus únicos sobreviventes são um grupo de meninos. Liderados por Ralph, eles procuram se organizar enquanto esperam um possível resgate. Mas, aos poucos, esses garotos aparentemente inocentes transformam a ilha numa visceral disputa pelo poder. Ao narrar a história de jovens perdidos numa ilha, aos poucos se deixando levar pela barbárie, Golding constrói uma reflexão sobre a natureza do mal e a tênue linha entre o poder e a violência desmedida.

Touro Oblómov (1877), de Ivan Gontcharóv

Iliá Ilitch Oblómov é um rico senhor de terras que não sai do sofá e passa os dias admirando o teto e fazendo planos que nunca põe em prática. Embora tenha muitos e graves problemas, principalmente relativos à sua fazenda, ele não age, pois a simples ideia de deixar sua poltrona lhe causa angústia. Apesar de ser jovem, sua vida transcende entre uma refeição e outra, cochilos e algumas visitas ocasionais que trazem notícias do mundo, pelas quais Oblómov não demonstra interesse. Nem a paixão por Olga Sergueievna, que fez de tudo para ajudá-lo, foi capaz de arrancar Oblómov da inércia. Pela figura do protagonista, o autor quis retratar a elite russa às vésperas do fim da servidão.

Gêmeos O Cão dos Baskerville (1902), de Arthur Conan Doyle

Há 500 anos, a mansão dos Baskerville é assombrada por uma lenda: Hugo Baskerville, notório escudeiro que era dono da propriedade em meados do século 17, teria sido morto por um suposto cão diabólico. Desde então, a família é aterrorizada pelo medo. A história é confirmada após a morte do rico Sir Charles, que sofria do coração, mas provavelmente morreu de susto ao ver o cachorro amaldiçoado. O dr. Mortimer, antigo amigo do milionário, decide então contratar o famoso detetive Sherlock Holmes para investigar o caso, temendo que a mesma tragédia aconteça com Henry, o sobrinho e herdeiro de Charles, que agora mora na mansão.

Câncer Águas de Primavera (1872), de Ivan Turguêniev

Em “Águas de Primavera”, o protagonista, um aristocrata de meia-idade solitário e melancólico, recorda certo acontecimento da juventude que marcou definitivamente a sua vida. Após observar velhas cartas e algumas flores secas que restaram de amores dos quais fugiu covardemente, esbarra em uma cruz de granada que o faz relembrar outra história semelhante, mas com consequências mais trágicas para si. Ivan Turguêniev (1818-1883) foi o primeiro escritor russo celebrado na Europa. Proveniente de uma família aristocrática de proprietários de terras, esforçou-se em divulgar a literatura russa, traduzindo para o francês algumas obras de seu país.

Leão O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio (1951), J.D. Salinger

O livro acompanha um fim de semana da vida de Holden Caulfield, um jovem de 17 anos, estudante de um respeitado internato para rapazes, o Colégio Pencey. Ele é expulso da escola depois de tirar notas ruins, e precisa voltar mais cedo para casa no inverno. Durante o caminho de volta, o rapaz busca adiar ao máximo o encontro com os pais, fazendo uma viagem reflexiva sobre sua existência, a partir de sua peculiar visão de mundo. Antes de enfrentar os pais, ele se encontra com algumas pessoas importantes na sua vida e, junto a elas, reflete sobre as hesitações que se passam em sua mente.

Virgem A Leste do Éden (1952), John Steinbeck

“A Leste do Éden” abrange a história dos Estados Unidos desde a Guerra Civil até a Primeira Guerra Mundial. A narrativa acompanha duas famílias no Vale do Salinas, na Califórnia, os Hamilton e os Trask, e como elas se relacionam. Além de uma profunda descrição socio geográfica, o livro aborda a capacidade de escolha entre o bem e o mal como atributo intrínseco aos humanos. O patriarca Samuel Hamilton e sua mulher, Liza, são imigrantes irlandeses e criam seus nove filhos em um pedaço de terra árido e infértil. Adam Trask, vizinho de Hamilton, compra o melhor rancho do vale, onde cuida sozinho dos filhos gêmeos, após ter sido abandonado pela esposa, a cruel Cathy. Ao longo do tempo, as vidas de Hamilton e Adam se entrelaçam.

Libra Orgulho e Preconceito (1813), de Jane Austen

A história mostra como a jovem Elizabeth Bennet lida com os problemas relacionados à moral, educação, cultura e casamento na sociedade aristocrática no início do século 19, na Inglaterra. Ela é a segunda de cinco filhas de um proprietário rural da fictícia cidade de Meryton. Elizabeth se apaixona pelo rico Mr. Darcy, amigo de Mr. Bingley, que acaba de chegar à cidade. Embora Darcy também esteja apaixonado por Lizzy, sua natureza reservada e orgulhosa faz com que os dois se afastem. Enquanto isso, Mr. Bingley está interessado na irmã de Lizzy, Jane, e os dois começam a se relacionar, desagradando as irmãs de Bingley, que consideram Jane socialmente inferior.

Escorpião A Letra Escarlate (1850), de Nathaniel Hawthorne

Na rígida comunidade puritana de Boston, no século 17, a jovem Hester Prynne tem uma relação adúltera que resulta no nascimento de uma filha ilegítima. Desonrada e torturada publicamente, ela é forçada a levar sempre a letra “A”, de “adúltera”, bordada em seu peito. Considerada a primeira autêntica heroína da literatura norte-americana, Hester se vale de sua força interior para criar a filha sozinha e proteger o segredo da identidade de seu amante. Após sete anos carregando a letra escarlate, as pessoas da cidade começam a enxergar as virtudes de Hester, já que ela ajuda a todos que necessitam, sem pedir nada em troca.

Sagitário As Viagens de Gulliver (1726), de Jonathan Swift

Polêmica obra-prima do século 18, “As Viagens de Gulliver” mistura literatura de viagem, aventura e ficção científica. Conta as histórias de Lemuel Gulliver, médico e aprendiz de navegação que, após um naufrágio, é carregado por seres minúsculos para a ilha de Lilliput, onde é mantido como prisioneiro. Após ganhar a confiança dos habitantes da ilha, ele é solto e se torna amigo do rei. Gulliver volta à Inglaterra, mas continua fazendo outras viagens, que o levam a lugares ainda mais curiosos. Fascinado, ele faz anotações para narrar minuciosamente os momentos mais instigantes de suas aventuras.

Capricórnio Cem Anos de Solidão (1967), de Gabriel García Márquez

Uma das obras-primas de Gabriel García Márquez, o livro narra a fantástica e triste história da família Buendía, que vive na pequena e fictícia Macondo, ao longo de um período de cem anos. A trama acompanha as diversas gerações da família, assim como a ascensão e a queda do vilarejo em que vivem. Os Buendía nascem e morrem, vão embora ou permanecem na aldeia até seus últimos dias. O que todos possuem em comum é a luta contra a realidade e a solidão que sentem, mesmo vivendo em meio a muitos. O livro é considerado a obra que consagrou Gabriel García Márquez como um dos maiores autores do século 20.

Aquário Os Miseráveis (1937), de Victor Hugo

A obra se passa durante a Revolução Francesa, no século 19. Conta a história de Jean Valjean, preso por roubar um pão para alimentar sua irmã e seus sobrinhos. Após ser solto, Valjean é marginalizado por todos que encontra, sendo expulso de todas as estalagens. Então, em nome de sua liberdade, ele tenta se redimir pelos erros do passado e parte para os Alpes franceses. Anos depois, Valjean transforma-se num rico empresário, um homem bondoso e respeitado na comunidade, usando o pseudônimo de Madeleine. Enquanto isso, Fantine, uma pobre prostituta, fica doente e vende seus cabelos e dentes para sustentar a filha, Cosette. Ao conhecer Fantine, Jean se compadece e lhe promete que irá cuidar de Cosette.

Peixes O Mestre e Margarida (1967), de Mikhail Bulgákov

O “Mestre e Margarida” é considerado um dos grandes romances do século 20. Situado na Moscou dos anos 1930, o livro narra as peripécias de satã na cidade, acompanhado de um séquito infernal, composto por um gato falante e fanfarrão, um intérprete trapaceiro, uma bela bruxa e um capanga assustador. Seu caminho se cruza com o dos amantes Mestre e Margarida — ele um escritor mal compreendido, autor de um romance sobre Pôncio Pilatos; ela uma das personagens mais fortes da literatura russa, que, qual Orfeu, fará de tudo para reencontrar seu amado desaparecido. História de amor e desejo, sátira do mundo das letras e das vaidades humanas, além de crítica ferina, mas bem-humorada, ao regime soviético.
