I really don’t have much to say about this. It’s really a summary of Chloe she doesn’t fear being unloved though. She is happy where she is in her life. I don’t really agree with the challenger for her but the other two are really similar to her!

Opinion on the results:
Very much Ally. These types are truly her for the most part. The only things I don’t agree with are her not having a good temper. Ally knows how to handle herself. She definitely fears physical harm, especially after her ex. She is not scattered or undisciplined she knows when to have fun but needs to do her work. She isn’t status conscious. I agree with everything else though!
Backstory:
↳ Edgar has gone by many names over the years, but he began as Kasakir, a warrior among the Mayan K'iche' people. He and his sister, Yamanik, were thought to be the reincarnation of the Hero Twins, the boys who conquered the Death Lords and were dubbed the rulers of Earth by the sky gods. However, they were born to a pair of lowly farmers and the two never realized there was something different about themselves until an illness spread through their lands--one that killed everyone around them, except them. Their parents died from this plague, but notoriety built around them with claims that they couldn't die. When Kasakir was stabbed through the gut and lived to tell the tale, the others in their village began to believe it to be true. Words spread about the twins who couldn't die and the current king of the K'iche' kingdom did not like the idea of the supposed Hero Twins taking his throne. But before any of that could happen, the Spanish conquistadors invaded Guatemala. Kasakir volunteered to act as a spy and fought along side his K'iche' commanders. When the Spaniards burned the K'iche' leaders alive, Kasakir tried to find a way for him and his sister to escape, but he lost track of her during the attack.
For years after, he continued to fight to try to find her. He followed his people wherever they were pushed and protected the innocents as best he could, all while vowing vengeance on whoever had taken his sister from him. But no matter where he looked, she wasn’t there. He left his people to find her, using any clues that he could find to pinpoint her whereabouts. He searched for sixty years, but could find no trace of her. It was then that he changed his name for the first time and never told another soul his birth name again.
It didn't take long for him to realize that he would not age anymore and after wasting so much time searching, he tried having a normal life. He settled down and went back to his roots as a farmer, but after he was forced to watch his wife and children die, he vowed to never do so again--a vow he would forget about multiple times in the future. Regardless, he chose to travel instead, knowing that the growing Christian missionaries would see him as a demon if he stayed in one place for too long. He moved along central America, learning new languages and skills as he went, always introducing himself with a different name. He became a better swordsman and an even better shot with a rifle as he boarded a ship for the first time. From piracy to legitimate seafarer, he was able to visit countries such as Portugal, Congo, and India. He stayed in one place just long enough to absorb their culture then moved on. He fought when he had to, but he preferred to keep his head down.
In his 500+ years of life, he has lived through many trying times. He manages to maintain his sanity by giving back to the world and finding those who he believes to be genuine and kind. He takes comfort in knowing that even when the world is twisted, there are always people trying to heal it. However, he is not without his weaknesses and his loneliness is definitely a reoccurring problem for him. Whenever the feelings begin to creep up, he usually tries to start a new family, which always backfires in one way or another. Recently, however, he decided to renew his search for his sister, figuring that the newer technology might be able to help him. Upon arriving in New Haven in 2010, Edgar caught the eyes of the Guild by single-handedly stopping a robbery. While initially opposed of going into the limelight, he figured that if his sister was still out there somewhere, maybe she could come to him. And so he remained, an immortal warrior to the group, enjoying the company of his comrades while he still can. After all, he knows they will die eventually, like they all do
Moral Alignment:
↳ Neutral Good
Signature Move:
↳ Hand to hand combat has always been his preferred way of fighting and he is known for bringing in a wide variety of fighting styles from his centuries of studying. Typically though, he will use a spear-thrower (atlatl) to bring his intended victim down then will fight them with his fists until he wins. From there, his finishing move is always with an obsidian knife that he claims to have had since he was a boy.
Extra Info:
↳ His sigil is of a sunrise emerging from a crescent moon which represents the Hero Twins that he and his sisters were believed to be.
↳ He has several journals that he has kept over the years of his adventures and experiences. While he uses them to keep track of his fading thoughts and memories, he still prefers to tell stories in the oral tradition that he was brought up with. While a few are written in English, most of his journals are written in his native K’iche’ language.
↳ Also just a little fun fact. His original name Kasakir means Daybreak in the K’iche’ language.

moon, recall newton’s law of universal gravitation — that the force of gravity between two objects with masses M and m respectively is quantifiable; measured as G*M*m, where G is the gravitational constant governing attraction, over the square of the distance between them, r, or more simply: F = G*M*m / r²
i guess, according to newton, if hearts are objects, absence does not make the heart grow fonder; the pull between two hearts falls away exponentially with each fraction of a lightyear that stretches between them.
did he consider, though, the possibility that gravitational pull might be unidirectional? did he entertain the idea that G may not always be constant, defying its very essence? did he ever wonder that there may be another factor, another beating mass skewing the vector with each reverberation?
oh, but heartbreak carries its own set of universal principles: i was that archetypal princess, the damsel in (hidden) distress. carving thighs with cracked mirrors till crimson ink pooled around my heels. i guess heartbreak defies physics in the same way you remain tethered, spinning around the earth—even in this starry expanse of zero gravity.
moon, what if i no longer fall under newton’s jurisdiction? what if i am the only one being pulled, and there is no push to blame? if time is a function of distance, will i never recover? if you believed you could leave this perpetual orbit of aching (you can, i know it), would you? if i stop chiseling myself away, moon, will the gravity between the whole of who i want to be and the pieces that i am be enough to survive?
maybe i am my own guard keeper, my own high tower, my own voice locked inside a casket of gold, my own hand clutching the map’s diagrammed escape — the princess and the prince, the damsel and the hero, the dragon and its slayer — gravity notwithstanding, key burrowed in swollen gums.
you worry that there is something twisted deep inside of you, the process of congealement. your heart becoming an other, teething, undivined. somehow you missed the memo. transmogrification. water to ice, mineral to rock, heart to a different kind of beast altogether.
were you missing her? (the girl you were) is that why you ate your heart? (to redress the balance) did it taste like victory? (sweet sheened sour)
you are drawn inwards, something alien in the thrum of your chest. an inhuman change. your own labyrinth. there’s a demon somewhere in this sacrarium, there’s a goddess somewhere. the same, clutching a trident and a conch shell, the promise of a war to come.
For this task we were told to take pictures of alphabets around the place we live in, it can be any letter, on the ground, logo, posters, and For this task I went around my closest town and walked around, I also went to the main city entre and walked around there and also used some letters from the BCU building itself and made a collage of them:
Over all this task was my favourite because it allowed to to walk around freely and look at stuff that I would normally just ignore and walk past and it showed how other designer use the terminology and use it in the real world in logos, posters, streets, building, which was a really good experience for me.
