Raymond Michael Adaway "If I can't learn to control this rage I'm gonna end up killin' some guy." - To his dad before he left for Parris Island ⚘ Looking Inside ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Though the man can handle being in tense situations and on stage in front of countless fans Ray is a rather shy individual at heart; quiet and reserved. A societal conditioned introvert who prefers to stay at the back of the crowd, or even better to be alone, instead of being in front of a group of people. He is kind to those he is close to and ever a full southern gentleman. He is quick to smile over the simplest acts of kindness and enjoys simple beauty in the world. Ray is a romantic; poetry, meaningful gifts, colorful turns of phrase, and attention to the small details that matter. He speaks softly but from the heart. He strives to be better than he was yesterday and is constantly trying to grow into the man he thinks he should be. There is a rage that lays under the surface. Ray can be possessive and competitive when it comes to the things he wants in life; such as his career and the people he loves. Quick to anger under many circumstances, it is a reason why he tries to keep his distance from others. Self imposed distance from people or situations that can trigger him; though in his line of work avoiding such things can't always be avoided. Ray feels as if he must prove himself and earn his place in people's lives; as if just being there for them and being kind isn't enough. Few places he feels comfortable in or that he fits truly he self secludes himself and finds himself brooding over the past far more than is healthy. He has been known to run away in the past from things, nowadays he over compensates by being too agreeable. ⚘ A Brief History ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Before Entering RP's Growing Up: Ray was born in 1961 in Chattanooga, Tennessee to Beau Adaway and Letty-Mae Riles. His father a farm hand and his mother a waitress, they were not married. His mother died giving birth to Ray and he was raised by his father. The first six years moving from town to town during different farming seasons until his father took a job as the Farm Manager for Beard Family Farms in Leesburg, Georgia. Ray spent much of his time on the farm while he was growing up, becoming friends with the children of the owners, and singing in church. Ray dealt with more than his share of bullying and torment growing up, being not black of white had him caught between two races: neither of which would claim him. High School: Ray spent his high school years still working on the farm part-time during the school year and full-time during the summers. He joined ROTC and started dating Thana Martin. The two remained together for their entire high school career. During his down time he worked with the Church choir and focused on writing music to try to stay out of trouble - many fights breaking out between himself and other local teens. When Ray graduated high school he left for Marine Boot Camp and broke up with Thana: citing he needed to become a better man before getting more serious. Life As A Marine: Ray, like anyone on the East Coast, attended Parris Island for boot camp training. After finishing boot-camp at Parris Island, Ray was a Marine. Stationed to Camp Lejeune as part of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. He served six years in the Marines and was deployed numerous times into combat zones, including Libya, Lebanon, and Grenada. At the time of his discharge he held the rank of Sergeant and was honorably released from the Marines. Though no longer serving as a Marine, Ray still worked with Marines, kept close ties with his fellow Devil Dogs and understands now that once a Marine, always a Marine. Rise To Fame: From the day Ray was discharged from the Marines he was hitting the Honky Tonk and Country Bar scene hard, every small town that would let him play, every Nashville scene he could get his foot in. He was met with both curiosity and full blown anger. His country was different. He was a mixed man, looking more like a thug out of Detroit than a farmer out of Georgia. His music ranged from classic country to rock country to everything in-between. Promoters didn't know how to promote him. The leg work and determination paid off with the small release of his first album. It hit both the Country and Rock airways with force and Ray topped both charts. Touring, promoting, and more kept his star climbing and he became the new hit sensation but not without problems. Constantly under attack both in the media and in person, Ray has to keep his guard up. Time in the Marines has taught him patience. Operation Alternative RP USO Rehearsals, Arlington, Virginia: After receiving a call about being one of the main acts for a USO show, Ray started planning. He had to cut one tour short and add on more shows to another to fit it in but it was worth it. He had always wanted to do a USO Show and now was his chance he felt to give back to the troops. Having served he knew how important morale was over seas, especially during the holiday season. He didn't know at first who he would be performing with but as he spotted a group he had seen plenty of times playing in South Georgia he got his hopes up. Seeing Thana arrive made everything perfect. For the next two months both his band and 'Shine practices, set up lighting and effects, worked with their MC, as well as other support staff to make sure the show could be pulled off. During this time he also got to spend some private time with Thana and have some dates. Fort Clayton USO Show: Two days before Thanksgiving, USO set up crews arrived for the first stages of set up. The rest didn't arrive until Thanksgiving Day - including Ray. The first part of the show went off well. The second half was Rays turn. He performed several of his hits off his first two albums. Got in the crowds and entertained the troops. The last song of the evening was a duet with his high school sweet heart. After the show, he accompanied Thana back to her tent to talk some more and see where she wanted to go with things. After which he left to prepare to leave Fort Clayton as she would be staying and taking command of the Barons once again. He was able to talk to Thana once more before he flew out and she shocked him by what she proposed. He left Fort Clayton a little worried but mostly confidant that things would work out in his favor once she was out of Panama and back in the states. ⚘ Relations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Major Thana Martin "Let the world hear yer voice, then they'll see what I see." - Thana trying to get Ray to sing in choir Ray was seven years old and a year behind in school because of constant moving when his dad enrolled him in school at Lee County Elementary. He was taken into class during recess and he sat down alone. Several kids started picking on him and this little girl with bright blue eyes and curls in her hair - punched them and then split her cookie with him. That was all she wrote. From that moment on Ray and Thana were inseparable. Ray followed Thana around like her shadow. Went to school together, played together, sang in choir together, sat next to each other at church and every meal. Ray spent most of his time with Thana when not at home. When they started high school, Ray started courting Thana. It was a hard road- they were different races, different social classes, in the deep south, during the '70's but they stuck it out. Singing and writing song together. That was until Ray graduated and he broke up with Thana; saying he needed to be a better man for her. Years went by but there wasn't a day that Ray didn't think about Thana. In the middle of serving he wrote songs, many of which were inspired by his high school sweet heart. He did date others but there was never anything serious. His mind always went back to his "Juju". After ten years he felt he had finally not only become the man he thought he needed to be but had a career and income he thought added to his "value" - he reached out to Thana with a single card. Floored she said yes he was happy to start their relationship again. It seemed though she had just met someone new. He didn't want to open things up but he did for her, so she would not have any doubts. Moderate Chantilly Martin "Boy, I will tan yer hid like yer one of mine!" - To Ray anytime he ran into the house with mud on his shoes Miss 'Tilly is the only woman in Rays life that he looks at as a mother. She practically raised the man as his mother passed away when he was born. As her daughter and him were always around each other and his father worked on her families farm, Ray kind of came under Miss 'Tilly's protection and guard during working hours, church hours, and more. Not that she minded. Ray was a good boy, even if he did get in trouble, and as he grew older she knew that no matter what happened Ray would protect her eldest daughter. Not to mention having an extra hand around the house of eight children did help. Miss 'Tilly looks at Ray as one of her own kids and while she is hard on the boy and gives him a rough time, she loves him. (Even if she doesn't think he is right for her daughter.) Minor The Martin's "They are my family, they made me who I am." - Ray's thoughts on the Martins The Martin's are a large family and Ray knows them all. Each of the siblings are like siblings to him having grown up together on the farm, playing in the dirt, fighting, eating, birthdays, and more. Mr. Martin is like a second father to him, Uncle Maddy and Grandpapi Martin are just those to him as well. While Beau is his dad, the Martins are the rest of his family. Nothing will ever change that. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✾ Lady Absinthia's Catacomb Of Characters

Océane Sylvie La'Barbe "Petit a petit, l’oiseau fait son nid.” - Little by little, a bird makes its nest. ⚘ Looking Inside ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Océane walks through life like a caged bird freed but refusing to leave the bars which contained her. When she was younger she had a voice of her own and will that seemed unending but her will has left her. Not entirely but only the vaguest traces remain for survival, as if what will she had had been spent on a single last hurrah, or perhaps buried for now. There is a strange weight on her limbs and an unnatural timidness and an anxious nature to her. Always seeming to be looking over her shoulder as if she is the prey and she senses a predator on her heels she must protect herself from. Not that she could protect herself if she were to come under attack, flight instead of fight is more this little birds nature. While ever seeming as if she is looking out for the worst, Océane is perhaps a tad naive as she looks for the silver lining or best in most all situations. Hopeful. Wanting to please and do well, she works hard and tirelessly, as if seeking approval or acceptance. Perhaps this is her fight. Quick to smile and grateful of kindness, Océane strives to be kind and understanding. Not well versed in enough common womanly duties, she is eager to learn and has an unending dedication and loyalty to those that have shown her kindness and understanding. Oddly enough, there is a deep devotion to even those that have mistreated her if she feels she owes them a debt. ⚘ A Brief History ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Before Entering RP Before The War: Océane was born in 1855 in Atlanta Georgia to Saint and Chantilly (Marseille) La'Barbe. Her father and mother both French Immigrants and naturalized citizens, making Océane the first born of her family in the United States. Both her parents were Clothiers and did well, amassing a comfortable living tending to the Southern Elites with their French Inspired fashions. Her mother and father tutoring her in various subjects. During The War: When the Civil War broke out, her father was 'recruited' and went off to fight. Océane and her mother were in Atlanta during Sherman's march and it was then that Océane was struck and her leg was damaged by a burning runaway carriage. Two months after Sherman's March, she and her mother received word that her father had been killed. Her mother passed of a broken heart some weeks later, leaving Océane an orphan in a war torn South. After The War: Océane was sent to live with her Aunt Camille and new husband on a farm in Kentucky. Life was strict on the farm. Each day Océane rising early to tend to chores on the farm and in the house. Chores started out small as she was still healing: mending clothing, cleaning floors. The chores became more over the years but Océane's leg never fully healed and she carries a small limp because of it. While on the farm she learned about crops, her aunt continuing her tutoring. Adulting: Continuing to live with her Aunt and 'Uncle', working on their farm and helping tend to the house, Océane left after she turned twenty and set out on her own with what little she had. Finding a home in St. Louis Missouri after seeing an ad in the newspaper for Hearst House For Women. There she cultivated her skills and started to learn more in trade for teaching other women in the house how to read and write so they could start to self educate. When presented with a chance to find a husband far out west, Océane agreed and had her picture taken to be placed in an ad. Special Delivery: Wyoming Territory RP Hearst House For Women: Océane continued her work around the house as she waited to see if she would get any replies from the ad. Mostly working in the greenhouse and tending to a new beehive she had managed to purchase. She did, many. Most of which turned her stomach. One stood out to her, a Mr. Cypress Holloway. Though she was taunted about his picture, she wrote back nonetheless and from there a courtship bloomed. Between working in the house and corresponding with Mr. Holloway, Océane remained very busy though not without issue. More than a handful of requests for Océane came through, none of which she responded to other than Mr. Holloway. One from Kentucky she out right burned. Ms. Hearst took care of responding to the others. The attention from would be suitors did not go unnoticed and became a catalyst for problems in the house. Girls lashing out towards Océane. They always had, this escalated to physical violence once Océane accepted Mr. Holloway's proposal of marriage. Océane had to assist the Pinkerton's with information on Mr. Holloway so that a background check could be run. After which Océane continued to deal with problems at the house as best she could while preparing to travel by train from St. Louis to Wyoming. Cleaning and cooking within the home, trading mending and sewing for horsemanship lessons, tending to her beehive, and in the dark hours of the night working on what she hoped would be her wedding dress. Several days before Océane left for Wyoming, things came to a head in the Hearst House. Océane attacked another girl for ripping a dress she was sewing and clawed her face, leaving deep enough wounds to most likely scar. After this the girls in the house avoided Océane until she moved out: some because they didn't want to get in the middle of it, others because they sided with the girl who was clawed. Transcontinental Railroad: Between the days of August 7th and August 14th 1876 Océane was onboard two different trains. The Number 8 between St. Louis and Omaha, and the Number 3 between Omaha and Laramie. A week long journey that was calm for the most part despite the rising tensions and war between the United States and Sioux Nations. During this time Océane mostly stayed in her private sleeping quarters and worked on finishing up sewing a dress. When she was not in the Sleeping Car she was either in the Dining Car or in the Baggage Car. The Baggage Car was where her Beehive was being held and she needed to check periodically to see how they were holding up as transport of such things could be delicate. The Dining Car was for eating and stretching her legs, as well as getting to know the Chef some and learning a few new recipes. Océane watched out the window often during the seven days of travel, seeing how the landscape changed and thinking on how her life was going to change once she reach Laramie and finally met Cypress face to face. Laramie, Wyoming Territory: Océane's time in Laramie was short as far as time spent there went but in terms of things done it was rather eventful. After arriving and disembarking from the train, Océane finally met her fiancé face to face for the first time. He proposed in a sense and gave her an engagement ring. After accepting it, Océane turned her attention to her bees to ensure they were taken care of and safe. They had to be stored in a netted beehive in the hotel suite until Océane left town. Once this was taken care of, Océane needed to change out of her travel wear that she had been in for the last week, freshen up as best she could, and dress for the wedding that was to take place within the hour. Once changed, it was off to the chapel where Océane nearly fainted in the church but managed to stay upright, mostly. The wedding was quick but orderly enough. Océane acquired not only a new husband at the church but flowers. After the wedding, Agent Hamilton left the two and they were off back to their hotel quarters. The rest of the day was spent in enjoyment and preparation for the trek back to what would become their home. Time in the shops and eating, Océane was able to try many things she hadn't remembered doing before: ice cream, new boots, champagne, a hip bath, and most importantly a hat that looked very much like her new husbands. The next day they set out from Laramie to home. Wagon Ride Home: ⚘ Relations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Major Charles Franklin "Spit and polish, quite order" - Everyday at breakfast Charles married Océane's Aunt Camille shortly before the end of the Civil War. When Océane's mother passed away she was sent to live with the two of them until she came of age and could be married. 'Uncle' Charles put Océane to work almost immediately on arrival to his families farm in Tennessee. Being a city child and still recovering from a carriage accident Océane had a hard time adjusting. Charles did not make things easy for the young girl, pushing her constantly in both her chores and her studies, among other things. Cypress Holloway "Would you be my puzzle piece, come out to Wyoming Territory, and cleave to me in matrimony?" - Letter to Océane, June 1876 Océane had never met Mr. Holloway to begin with. Seeing an advertisement for a Picture Bride, Mr. Holloway wrote the Hearst House about the girl known as Anne. He was not the only one but he was the only one that Océane returned a response. Over the next months more letters were written between the two until Cypress proposed marriage. Océane had not been expecting it so soon but she accepted nonetheless and began the complicated and long list of tasks to complete so that she could travel to Wyoming from St. Louis to be with Cypress and wed him. On arrival in Laramie, Océane was introduced to Mr. Holloway where he presented her with a wedding ring set on bended-knee: officially and publicly cementing an engagement. After accepting, ensuring her few possessions were secure, and changing it was time to leave for the church. (Not an hour after arriving in Laramie.) The two headed to the church and were wed without much incident. Océane found that her new husband was gentle and sweet to her. He had a mustache that tickled and a kindness to let her get flowers. After the wedding they spent time together and Cypress lavished on Océane gifts and moments she had never had before. All of which were overwhelming, none of which set her perfectly at ease. Yet, she did get up the courage to ask for a particular hat, one that became a favorite possession of hers rather quickly. The evening was spent enjoying each others company, at least that much she remembered after drinking that evening. The next morning they took care of a few things, enjoyed more of each others time together and set off for home. Their home, something that Océane took some time to get used to the idea. During the first part of the journey back to their home, Océane opened up a little about the time she spent in Kentucky and some of the things she endured. Confused by her husbands reaction, she didn't speak about it anymore and ended up changing subjects. Talking about different things until they stopped for lunch. At lunch she got her husband some honey and enjoyed olives that her husband offered her. On the journey back, she talked about flowers: one in particular she picked at where they had their picnic. Cypress suggested them starting a flower garden back at their home and asked her what she would need. Never having seen the land and not knowing what her husband had on hand she couldn't answer. She was very moved by the offer and looked forward to starting one. Minor Ms. Hearst "I don't think you understand my dear. All of these are asking for you" - Said to Océane about the stack of mail Océane discovered the Hearst House for Women thanks to an ad in a local paper. Ms. Hearst welcomed the little thing in a smile and gave her a warm bed in which to sleep in. The woman has been a guide to her in both the home and how to deal with the outside world as Océane does not have much experience. She has helped Océane grow but knows the girl has a long way to go. She was the one that ask Océane to allow her photo to be used in their national ad for Picture Brides, in hopes it would help many of the girls in the house find a good home to make their own. She has been a protector for Océane for many a scuffle girls in the house would start with Océane and helped the little one prepare for her trip from St. Louis to Wyoming as well as responding to others that have written to Océane in hopes the men would be happy to marry another one of the girls instead after Océane turned her attention to Mr. Holloway alone. Angeline "Aww, little mouse went and fell. Perhaps we should help her up girls." - After pinning Océane to the ground Since the day that Océane stepped into Hearst House, Angeline has had a thorn in her hand about Océane for reasons unknown to anyone other than she seems to enjoy causing pain to weaker girls in the house. It started out as simple jabs and verbal sticks over the months but once Océane was chosen for a national add for Picture Brides by the Hearst House and started getting attention this quickly escalated. Once Océane accepted a proposal from Mr. Holloway it turned physical and came to a head when Océane finally struck back and clawed Angeline's face after Angeline ripped Océane's wedding dress. Agent Hamilton "Not what I was expecting." - On seeing Cypress Holloway's photograph Agent Hamilton has long worked with the Hearst House. Meeting each girl as she becomes a resident so that she can vet the young woman. For the girls that become engaged her duties increase, having to run background checks on the men actively pursuing matrimony and even so far as to escort the ladies to their prospective husband when the time comes. She has worked closely with Océane in both vetting the girl herself and running background checks on Mr. Holloway for Ms. Hearst. Océane is a special interest for Agent Hamilton and she has been the one to set the date in which Océane would travel to Wyoming as she must be the one to escort her so that she can ensure the girls reputation during travels. She stayed by Océane's side during the 7 day journey from St. Louis to Laramie, keeping her reputation in tact and acting as a buffer from undesirables. After which she remained still at Océane's side until after she was wed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Note: Have fun with the party - get to know folks - gonna let this run as long as people are having fun, so let me know when you are good to move on or if there is more you wanted your character to do tonight like back at their place or something.

Gunny gave a little nod, much like his daughter did when she was acknowledging but not really adding more to what needed to be said. It was to her thanks, there really wasn't anything more to add to that. As she asked if he was a Marine he smirked a bit. "Obvious?" he asked. There was a hint of dry sarcasm from the man. He might have said that Thana looked more like her mother but she sure as hell acted like her father. Then came the real question. Teaching. Crossing his arms over his chest he shook his head now. "Not me." There was a short pause as he motioned towards his older brother at the stage. "He will."

"Gunny, a hand!" Morales yelled from the edge of the beach up by the road. It was him and Cook and a couple of others from the Mess Hall with karts of raw seafood to be boiled.

"Watch the kettles," Gunny said to Mizrahi before nodding towards Thalia and heading off to give a hand. Standing up and dusting off his rear, Mizrahi stepped over closer to Thalia.

"Maddoc, Seal Team. He good, taught Thana. His class, has others with certain differences," Mizrahi said quietly while he looked at the fire, giving a small glance towards Thalia's false hand.

Adelaide chuckled and nodded. Reaching under the bar she pulled out a beer. It was obvious a home brew, reusable bottle with cap attached. Opening it, she slid it over to Lisa. "Some moonshine. Sparrow mentioned he was some distiller or something, so gave them something harder. If they got any celebrating to do tonight they might not want to drink that or he ain't gonna be able to salute her," Adelaide snickered before opening another beer and taking a sip for herself. "If you get my drift."

Sheers looked over towards Amelia and his smile faded for a minute. Taking a breath he figured she was trying, and nodded. "Evenin'g girl, settlin' in alright?" he asked. He was trying. The girl had been through a shocker. Maybe the more her hair grew back the better things would be.

There was a bit of feed back from one of the mics on stage before it faded out. Atticus grinned and nodded to the guys on the small stage. He started, holding a fiddle in one hand and a bow in the other, out sounding like he was giving a damn sermon. "Brother and sisters we are here for one reason and one reason alone: To share our love of music. I present to you country music without prejudice, hey!" Then the band kicked in, they were covering a not to known country song from before the outbreak called Rollin'. It was a little country, a little rap, and a lot of what the fuck did they just says. Atticus was on fiddle and backup vocals, Panama on acoustic guitar and main vocals, Bass was bass and bass/rap vocals, Volts was on drums, Maddog was on lead guitar. Even Auntie was there on the Banjo and Spots was at a Casio keyboard. Thing was, those from Newnan might not have known the song but they knew the rapping black man known as Cowboy Troy. James had loved him playing Chicken with a Train.

The song wasn't bad, people from the camp were swaying along, raising a glass or beer, some were moving out onto the dance floor to dance. Bass turned his hat around and took a breath. "Dum-diggity-dum, diggity-diggity-dum dig this. Slicker than the grease from a BBQ Briskit. Got more chunk than a fresh potato salad. You thought you had your answer but your answer was invalid. You're looking at me crazy cause you think I'm loco. The big black cowboy, with the crazy vocal. Todas las personas gritando arriva. Now you heard it, now I know you a believer. Esta cancion es para toda la gente. Es muy importante a usar su mente. So let go of all your preconceived notions. Get up on your feet and put your body in motion. Cause back home we love to dance. We could be two-stepin, or ravin' to trance and when the party is crunk, the girls back it up. We got the systems in the cars and the 20's on the trucks. 6 foot four with a cowboy hat. I dont mess around, yo what's up with that. I'm cowboy troy, a Texas hick and I'm rollin with the brothers
Panama and Padre."

The song continued, the band singing out "Go cowboy go cowboy go." People in the crowd yelling back. "Go cowboy go cowboy go!"
Even ones like Adelaide and Mizrahi were yelling back. Seemed the place worked hard and partied harder. It was only the first song of the night and the place was already jumping. Things people wouldn't dare to do without a wall to keep them safe. It attracted too much attention but the folks seemed relaxed. They had reason to be. Their walls were tall and thick, they had plans in place, and even now there were people patrolling the walls, the waters, and the beach.

The General finally made it down to the beach and had a seat on a bench that was set out near the stage but off to the side. Resting his cane down and smiling to see people enjoying themselves. It had been a long months, so everyone. Inside and outside the walls. New comers and old. They all needed this break. Tomorrow it would be back to the grind stone of survival.

Thana was glad that Ash picked up on what she had been talking about when she mentioned counting down from sixty. It would have been rather awkward trying to slowly clue him into the the fact she had been counting down to him getting laid or not that one night back in Newnan, without other people hearing her that was. Not to mention the fact she, still to this day, swore to god she had heard something run full speed right into the bedroom door that night. Something orange and furry. If cats could she speak she would also swear she heard the cat say 'To Hell With This!' Not that cats could talk right? Granted, ten years ago if you said the dead would rise form the graves and try to eat people like happy meals you would have been locked up faster than a middle aged man who spoke to blue-bucktoothed-flying-unicorns. (And Wayne was walking around swatting at said unicorn right now down the beach some. So maybe it wasn't that much of a stretch.

However, Thana wanted to get back to the hear and now. Nodding slightly towards Adelaide before turning her attention back to Ash. Looking down at the glass she nodded and picked it up. Had it been anyone else that just down the high proof spirits the way Ash just had she would have been worried. Thing was she had drank with this man before, she knew how well he could take his booze. His family were moonshiners after all from what she knew. Holloway and Sons distillery out of Virginia. So the fact the man downed White Lightening like it was water didn't concern her. As long as he didn't end up drinking too much. Lifting her glass she downed the shot. It burned a hair but wasn't bad. Adelaide was also from a family of distillers, so she knew what she was doing. She just did better with browns than whites.

"Nope, not bad at all," she said before leaning in a bit. "I miss the peach stuff," she said under her breath and against his ear. There was a small smile on her lips as she kissed his cheek. Slipping her arm around his waist from where she sat she leaned into him some. This was going better than the last 'outing' they had had together. Wedding Reception/Theft/Night Before The Lights Went Out In Georgia. Yeah... That was a 24 hours of ups and downs. It was literally the Best of Times and the Worst of Times.

Turning her head, Thana looked over to Alexander as he came over and smiled slightly. "Hey Mugsy," she said in a kind voice as she reached over and took the bottle, pouring another round. She nodded slightly. "It's good and I'm actually doin' a'right. Looks like you ain't doing half bad either," she said as she motioned towards his leg. Seemed he was able to get around a lot better on it than what he had been forced to deal with over the winter.

Quirking a brow she looked around. "Shears is over there," she said motioning towards where Amelia and Riley were. Then her head started to turn, looking around more. Motioning with her glass back towards the road and main part of the camp. "There's Goatman, helping Cook with the carts of food," she added before downing the contents of her glass and setting it back down on the bartop.

Thana shook her head a bit. "Not much really. Think Sheers is from New York. Goat, think he had a food truck. Hadn't talked to either of them a lot but they seem okay," she admitted as she sat there on her stool. Turning her head when the music started up, Thana quirked a brow. Had she been drinking something right about half way through the song she would have spit it out. Thankfully she wasn't and just busted out laughing, leaning against the bar at the rap portion of the song. This was not what she was expecting but she couldn't fault them. It was funny and fun, something people needed right then.

Nikki chuckle a bit and looked over towards Hunter. "Tryin' to get ideas on a date to take me on?" she teased him a bit. She wasn't being serious right then, just running with the conversation. He was cute enough though she wasn't sure if he was sweet hidden under an asshole shell, or trying to be sweet and he was just an asshole center. She doubted she would figure that out for a while. She wasn't exactly a people reader when it came to things like this.

There was a nod from the girl. "Yeah but a lot of dogs act that way around Felix. We thought he might be doing something wrong but nope. He takes good care of the animals around here when he isn't out on long term runs. Dogs, well dogs just don't seem to like him. Strangest thing."

As Hunter went to let Izi out of her cage, Nikki leaned back and gave him a minute. It was the first time she had seen him like really smile since she met him. So the guy had a softer side. At least where his dog was concerned. It wasn't much but it was something. Maybe he could start relaxing some now that he had his pooch back. Once he was ready she smirked and popped a bubble. "Yeah, let's get you two out of here," she said as she started walking towards the door.

"Bye Sheryl!" she called out as they were leaving, grabbing a bag of bags and handing it over to Hunter. "Make sure to pick up as she messes up, then just drop it in any of the green cans around the camp," she said as she pointed to one attached to the vet building.

"See ya!" a yell came from the back.

Stepping outside more fully Nikki motioned back north a bit. "She can be walked in this area for a bit tonight, (O10->O8/P10->P8). Then we can get her back to your place and we can hit the party," Nikki said as she walked through the more open area that looked like it was regularly used for animals to run around and such. There were a few green bins around where people duped their doggie bags. Hearing the music start up down the beach some, Nikki grinned, she was ready to get back but she had to make sure Hunter was good to go first.

✾ Lady Absinthia's Catacomb Of Characters

Major Thana Jewell Martin "Yer fuller than a tick that's been suckin' on a hound all day." - Thana to the Gunners during the Game ⚘ Looking Inside ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Thana is a mentally strong woman who is often dry and sarcastic but her loyalty and dedication to those she cares about or has a leadership role over is second-to-none. Despite her cooler personality she is not without feelings and harbors a deep compassion for those with whom she have shared similar experiences. A level headed woman, even under extreme pressure or duress, Thana manages to keep her emotions in check during most circumstances. Logic and facts far out weigh emotions in situations. Emotional detachment, loyalty, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to those around her makes Thana a good leader. Single-minded drive and lack of consideration for her own life makes Thana her own worst enemy; something that has nearly gotten her killed more than once and which she will carry the physical scars for the rest of her life. Thana is a doer and not one to wait for someone to talk/make plans/plot. Thinking outside the box and on the spot, she adapts to the situation. Underneath the work ethics and cool confidence is a woman full of passion and desire. She doesn't do anything halfway, dives in fully to everything she does: whether they be singing, flying, or anything else. She lives by her own set of Rules and believe the world owes no one anything; you are to earn every breath and pay debt for every heartbeat. Thana finds beauty the simplest of things and her southern upbringing makes her speech more than colorful. Thana is not one to hold back. Going after what she wants, when she wants it. She has a sick sense of humor and works it to her advantage to pay back those that have wronged her. A quick wit, Thana can be considered as charming but her sense of humor can be taken as just an odd character quirk by some, disturbingly strange by others. At the end of the day, Thana is a Major Hotlips - a woman, a soldier, a major, all at once. ⚘ A Brief History ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Before Entering RP's Growing Up: Thana was born in 1962 in Leesburg, Georgia to Macsen and Chantilly (Beard) Martin. Her father a U.S. Marine and 1st generation Welsh Immigrant, her mother a country singer that went by the stage name 'Tilly June. The oldest of eight children, Thana was raised on the family farm and spent her days being raised in the backwoods ways: hunting, fishing, riding, digging in the dirt. She sang in church, worked on the farm, and hung out with her best friend: Ray Adaway. Thana helped her mama with her younger siblings when she was old enough since he father was deployed much of the time and her mother for a time was still pursuing her music career at the time. Thana fell in love with flying when her father took her on her first helicopter ride when she was five years old. High School: Thana spent her high school years still working on the farm during the year. She joined ROTC and started dating Ray Adaway. The two remained together for their entire high school career. During the summers, Thana left and toured with the USO. First just helping out but eventually joining one of the touring bands and singing with them: Honeysuckle and 'Shine. When she graduated, she went on another USO tour between high school and college, Ray left for Marine Boot Camp and the two broke up: Ray citing he needed to become a better man before getting more serious. College: These four years were spent at United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. While thanks to her fathers M.O.H. Thana was able to attend for free, it was her grades and ROTC experience that got her in the door. Thana did well in college, focusing on math subjects and majoring in Engineering with a minor in Aeronautical Engineering. She wanted to do everything she could to ensure she could pursue a career in the army as an Aviator. Thana picked up a small past time, ballroom dancing, during the school year: it helped her unwind and developed her hand/eye/foot coordination. During the summers she continued to work with the USO show and spent most of the months over seas. Fort Rucker: After graduating, Thana was directly commissioned in the Army and transferred to Fort Rucker for Aviator Training. There she learned the intricacies of rotary-winged aircraft, basic flight physics, flight systems, emergency procedures, and how to draw and read flight maps. After running simulations, it was found that Thana had a natural aptitude for the UH-60 Black Hawk, built for medical evacuations and search and rescue missions. She logged nearly 150 in-flight before graduation. (She returned to Fort Rucker later in her career to be school in night vision flight, one of the first classes to do so.) Fort Bragg: Assigned to Fort Bragg, under General Lindsay and the XVIII Airborne. This became her home base but Thana spent most of of the remaining of '84 and through part of '87 over seas working in various transport operations that ranged from South East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Thana volunteered for every deployment she could back to back, limiting time home or on leave to the bare minimal. Operation Prime Chance: Shipped overseas with the Sky Dragons, Thana was transferred out of general transport to the Black Barons in '87, and given her first chance at combat. A night mission, where her C.O. became unable to perform his duty, Thana was assigned to fly first chair (being the only spare night vision trained aviator on the flight deck). The mission turned bad and Thana was forced to land and provide personal cover fire for Seal Team 4 to finish extracting an injured team mate. Thana earned the call sign Sparrow that evening and was promoted to C.O. of the Black Barons shortly there after. The Barons remained over seas for the remaining of the war and returned home with 100% recovery rate. Operation Alternative RP Operation Sand Flea: The Barons were deployed to Panama directly after their time in Operation Prime Chance. Basic transport for the first months. It wasn't until their final deployment in Panama that things took a more direct and personal turn. At the end of August '89, the 59th was deployed to Panama and the Barons were in charge of transport of the 59th, as well as working along side them in Panama to set up way stations. Thana worked closely with the 59th for the first few weeks before she was deployed elsewhere for additional training and some morale building. (Leaving the 18th in the hands of her second, Captain Isles.) During a two month stent outside of Panama, Thana completed her Airborne Jump Training before working with the USO to organize their first tour since the European Bombing a year before. Thana returned to Panama on Thanksgiving: performing a USO show, alongside ex-boyfriend, and newly rekindled romance, Ray Adaway. The next three weeks was working closely with volunteers from the 59th to complete their Airborne Training: among them were Sergeant Ibanez and Lieutenant Holloway. Testing for their airborne jump certification took place at Fort Benning. Shortly after returning from Fort Benning, Thana was invited to be a plus one for a United Nations dinner. It seemed simple enough and a way for Thana to get her foot in the door. What was to be a simple dinner turned into a hostage situation outside of PDF headquarters. First Lieutenant Paz was shot and killed. Captain Rainwater was shot as well but was able to get away. Lt. Commander Robertson and Thana were taken hostage. A join covert rescue mission was organized between the 18th, the 59th Airborne, and others. Thana and Commander Robertson was extracted from PDF headquarters some hours after being taken hostage. Thana ended up filing a formal complaint against Captain Stubing, a long thorn in the side of most anyone in Panama but especially for the 59th and the 18th, for his negligence to getting his job done which inadvertently lead to Paz's death, Rainwater being shot, and Robertson and Martin being taken hostage. Thana also put in for Lieutenant Holloway to be promoted so that the 59th, and by association the 18th, would no longer have to be under Stubings supply command and could report directly to Joint Task Force South. Operation Just Cause: D-Day (December 20th) the Barons lead the first strike attack on the Pacora River Bridge to cut off reinforcements. Due to a mess up at HQ and oversight by the 59th, the Barons were ambushed. Dragon 1, piloted by Major Martin, took heavy direct fire and Thana took a bullet to the chest and shrapnel to the left thigh. She managed to stay in the air long enough for her men to evacuate and jump into the river below before crashing into the river herself. Thana cut herself out of a damaged seat and swam out before the helicopter erupted. She was caught in the undertow and swept down stream. (She was assumed KIA). Down river Thana managed to swim to the shore line but due to blood loss passed out. On waking, she gathered what she could and tried to trek the most direct route through the jungle back to base. Injury and blood loss made the trek slow and shortly after the 59th and Seal Team 2 were attacking the private airbase here Noriega's plane was being kept, Thana came across it. The two divisions were pinned down. Thana managed to help lighten the attack enough for the 59th and Seal Team 2 to take control back in the battle. After the battle was wrapping up, Thana succumbed to the blood loss once again. Rushed back to the base and into surgery, Thana was patched up and 'filled up' - requiring nearly half of her blood to be replaced. After reporting what happened from her recovery bed, Thana spent sometime in the hospital before being released. It was then she was informed the Barons were getting shipped stateside once again and would be going on 30 days of leave. There was a day of festivities for Christmas the Barons organized before they shipped home. Operation Grieving: The day before Thana was scheduled to leave Panama with the 18th and return to Fort Bragg, Captain Holloway received a Red Cross Telegram informing him that his grandmother had passed away. Thana helped arrange emergency leave for the Captain and transport with the 18th back to the states. (Fort Bragg being only a 4 hour drive from the Captains family home.) Once back in the states, the still recovering Major helped the Captain secure clothing, found him a place to rest for the evening, and transport so he could be with his family for his grandmothers wake and subsequent funeral the following day. ⚘ Relations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Major Sergeant Ray Adaway "What if?" - Rays note to Thana Thana was only six years old when she met Ray. He came into her first grade class during recess after his dad took a job on her mama's farm. No one wanted to talk to the mixed boy but Thana did. The two became fast friends: walking together, playing together on the farm. Rays dad worked long hours and had no mother, so Ray was practically raised by Thana's mama. The two were inseparable, even singing in church choir together after Thana convinced Ray to try out. Friendship grew to best friends and when they entered High School the two started a courtship. This was not taken well by the local folks. Pretty white girl dating a black boy? In the 70's? In south Georgia? There was plenty of hate to be had but the two saw it through. Each others first love, they went through nearly everything together. When they graduated Ray found he wanted to be a better man for Thana, something Thana is still trying to understand, and they broke up. Ten years passed before Thana heard directly from Ray again. It was just a bouquet of dried flowers and a note with two words on it. 'What if?' Those words spoke volumes to Thana. It took time but she did write back. She said yes and their courtship began a new. It isn't without complications as Thana started being courted by Ash Holloway after Christmas as well. Ray knows about Ash and isn't happy about it but he loves Thana and trusts in Thana's love for him for them to work through this. He had ten years to sow his wild oats and find himself before showing back up, he knows it will take Thana time to grow used to him again. He is counting on their history to win out over this new beau. 18th Aviation Brigade: Black Barons "Kick the tires and light the fires Gents." - Thana to the Barons before loading up Thana was transferred to the Barons due to internal conflict with the C.O. of the 82nd Airborne within the XVIII Sky Dragons. It was the best thing to happen. Thana found other misfits or underdogs like her within the 18th Aviation Brigade. Not everyone was receptive but over the years she stuck it out, was given command a year into her assignment and quickly started building her team. Now there are over 60 Barons, requests by others to transfer in because of the Majors leadership and she had grown very close to her men. She cares for all of them but those in Dragon 1 and a select few others are her closest who she wouldn't transfer for anything. Dragon 1 Captain Sean Isles: 2nd, Gay, Ginger Timothy Balock: Married. Son: Brandon Marshall Owens: Music Producer Wannabe Pilots Antonio Rosales: Raising brother Juan Black Cameron Gunners Kevin Mitchell Edward Franks William Gregory Sergeant Major Aaron Aims "Just had to embarrass my men didn't ya?" - Aims to Thana at Gitmo The two met after Thana was assigned to the Sky Dragons during a Formal Military Affair. Thana went with her uncle as his guest and met Aims, her senior by a dozen years. While there was a large age difference, the two hit it off. Aims was the first man that Thana had taken seriously since her and Ray broke up five years before. Thana found Aims charming and mature, which was a nice difference from most men that tried hitting on her. More than that, he treated her like an equal. It went a long way with Thana and the two did love each other. Aims though loved Thana far more and wanted to have a family with her. Something he professed when he proposed to her. Thana turned him down, not ever wanting children or keeping another from having them. Aims was willing to give up on having kids and has kept proposing since. Thana has declined several times since then. Aims was part of Seal Team 4 and owes his life to Thana. Thana calls it doing her job. She still cares for him but she knows she could never have a life with him. Captain Ashton Holloway "On the ground they are yours. In the air, their asses and yours are mine." - Thana to Ash before leaving Fort Benning Thana met Ash by change at a Honky Tonk outside of Fort Benning at the end of the summer of'89. The two shared a couple of drinks, a dance, a song, and some small talk. While there was physical attraction from the start, something about Ash put Thana on edge and she denied him a good night kiss, any personal details about herself, and even her name. So when he showed up on her air field the next morning as the commanding officer of the 59th, it was awkward. From that moment on, Thana and Ash seemed to run hot and cold. Things were either really on or really off. Thankfully it didn't interfere with them working together, which was something that had to do for nearly six months straight. After getting from Fort Bragg to Fort Clayton, Thana helped Ash get settled into the job and guide him as best she could. (He was a newly promoted 1st Lieutenant at the time and on his first war assignment.) Things were tense thanks to that meeting. Thana not sure what was up with Ash and eventually figuring he was Gay: her reasoning to why he was always on edge round her and kept messing up even the most basic of things when it came to "courting". It wasn't until after Thana replied to an old flame about striking up their courtship again that Ash finally told Thana that he was smitten with her. One mail pick-up too late. Things only seemed to get worse from there and Thana was shipped out from the way point for two months for 'need to know' reasons. When she returned, things got so much worse. She came back with hope, a song, and a cake. All of which seemed to matter not and within a few minutes of speaking to him, Thana stormed out of his tent barely able to contain her tears. Three more weeks passed and Ash tried to speak to her but Thana was so hurt she couldn't manage to let him have a moment. She was in the middle of training a new airborne at the time. By the time she was ready to talk to him, it was December. Saving talking for later, Thana and Ash spent a very intimate evening together. It was perfect. The next day though it all went back to hell between them. Physically they fit together perfectly, anything else seemed beyond them. Ash constantly left Thana feeling worthless, inadequate, and lacking: as if anything she did for him wasn't enough. From Fort Benning back to Panama, to her capture by PDF, finding the 59th on the airfield, Christmas, returning to the States: whatever good that was between them constantly was thrown away: Especially when he wrote her off and told her goodbye in a note left under her door deciding for the both of them it was over. Ash broke her heart before she had a chance to fall in love with her. Moderate Corporal Michael Smith "Smith! Put the Lieutenant down before you hug the stuffin' out him!" - Thana to Smith at the tents Smith, better known as Big Mike is a behemoth of a man who has a simple mind and a good heart. Thana met Michael when she was in college and the two became friends. Thana helped Michael study to do better on his ASVAB and still tutors him when she can. The man isn't stupid, he is just different. Thana is very proud of the way he has progressed and Mike is very protective of "Miss Major" as he calls Thana these days. Careful, he's nearly hugged people to death. General James Lindsay "Sir, what the hell AA doin' here takin' up my field space?" - Thana to Lindsay after landing in Panama Lindsay has been Thana's Commanding Officer since she was assigned to Fort Bragg. While there have been others between her and Lindsay for a time, that was quickly found not to work, at least not yet. Lindsay wasn't sure to think of Thana to start but he gave her a chance and she has proven herself time and time again. Lindsay is a mentor to Thana now and he is one of the few men of such a high rank that Thana truly respects and trusts. He is hard on Thana and assigns her far more than he would a man but he knows that she has to prove herself far more than the average man does in the army. He figures she will either break or soar. So far she has soared, especially with helping with morale. He is afraid that she is going to burn out if she keeps it up or something worse. He is glad to see her working back with the USO. It is good down time for her. Her time in Panama was rather uneventful until her 3rd tour and then it got kicked into high gear when he assigned her to watch over the 59th in case Stubing screwed up. She handled things well and found him a new officer to keep an eye out on.
