Mystical Realms - History and the players (NOTE Contains spoilers!!!)

[Sticks]

I am going to use this thread, when I have time to explain who the main characters are in this saga as they appear, although anyone following the sagas closely will know who they are.

But first

The real origins of the Mystical Realms Saga

Briefly, when I used to post on the Channel 4 Reach forum (now no more), I was the subject of a flame attack in 2001, just after and around Big brother 2. The Mystical Realms sagas was the only way I could post. More details here (http://www.gsne03768.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/saga/default.htm) if you have time


Graeme Andrews
Originally this was an idealised version of me, in the first (2001) and second (2002) series of the Mystical Realms, but when we get to the third Series (Autumn 2007) Graeme Andrews is a former computer public relations advisor and part time advocate. Since his first encounter with entities from the Mystical realms he has operated as a sort of private detective. In fact in the first season, the Sam Spade Meets Big Brother Vignettes that was the impression of what he did.

Graeme Andrews is the only mortal known to have visited the Mystical Realms. Both times he was brought there by force.

As we come across this Graeme, we find he has just finished a case where he has helped an insurance company deal with an attempted insurance fraud. He also has a number of artefacts from the Mystical Realms, namely a dimension jump orb to travel to the Mystical realms and back and also a device to detect such orbs or any attempts to enter our world from the mystical realms.

The Spirit of True Love Deceased
The Spirit of True love used to be the Greek Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. In 2001 she "arranged" for Paul Clarke and Helen Adams to meet and fall in love on Big Brother 2 to try and create a warm feeling in those who watched. She engaged the services of Graeme Andrews to point out, that in fact they were genuine and true to a sceptical world in Cyber Space. Both were subsequently arrested and brought before the legal authorities in the mystical realms on the heinous charge of "interfering with the affairs of Mortals

Graeme Andrews was released as being a mortal, the charge was a nonsense in law, but The Spirit of True Love stood trial with Lachesis one of the Greek fates. Lachesis was let off on a legal technicality, but mid way during the trial, the Spirit of True Love was found dead in her cell. The official cause of death was ruled suicide, but in season three we discovered she had actually been murdered by the person supposed to be her Elven lawyer, Yagel Penswift, who was infact a dark elf, known as a drow, on the orders of the Spirit of True Love's own sister, The Spirit of Lust.

The Spirit of Fidelity Fidelity for short to those who know here true identity and Faith to others
The Spirit of Fidelity is one of a Twin, the other being her long lost twin Spirit of Fancying. Unlike her mother, who was a major spirit of virtue, she is only a minor spirit of virtue. When she was born, sixteen years previous to Series three, on the orders of The Spirit of Lust, name tags were switched, so for most of her life she thought she was her long lost twin sister. This meant she never was able to knowingly use her true powers. She was taken from her mother and secretly brought up mostly by Yagel, allegedly to protect her, but in reality as spite towards her mother, The Spirit of True Love.

Fidelity's true power is to shore up people's faithfulness to a partner or to some other object or entity.

Fidelity's twin sister disappeared shortly after birth, carried away by the fairies to the world of Mortals. Her whereabouts are unknown.

After her rescue by Graeme Andrews from the collapsing cyber world of the World of Warcraft, in which the Spirit of Lust was entrapped, she lives as a sixteen year old girl, (as she thinks she is sixteen, but because they calculated ages differently in the Mystical Relams, by human standards she is actuially 15) Fidelity works in a coffee shop in which Graeme Andrews managed to find her a job, as the manageress knew about the Mystical Realms, since she had seen Graeme return from there back in 2001. Fidelity resides in a hostel, which she hates, but staying with her "saviour" was considered impossible. She is deeply traumatised by her upbringing as she was subjected to physical, but not sexual abuse by Yagel Penswift.

Edit - In part 4 we find that The Spirit of Fidelity had got her age wrong by over stating it by one year, because on the Mystical Realms they worked to the year you were living through, not how many years you had lived as in our world, thus a new born child in their system is 1, as it is living through it's first year. (Analagous to our dating system)

Edit 2 this way of calculating ages also takes place in East Asian countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_age_reckoning)

Edit 3 - Spoiler
After finally meeting with her sister at Shannon Airport they both took the opportunity to give up their Minor Spirit status and became full humans with a human soul. Fidelity was later adopted by her Twin sister's adoptive parentsl

[Sticks]

Crandal McTuckle
Crandal McTuckle is a leprechaun, however instead of living in the Mystical realms he has been living in our world, based in Dublin, since leprechauns are part of Irish mythology and folklore. Crandal for some reason was on a mission to try and reach Graeme and the Spirit of Fidelity, after learning of their impending arrest by some unspecified agency, with the help of Special Branch. He hets very irritated of stupidity, especially a relative who drew the attention of this unknown agency to the area where Graeme and the Spirit of Fidelity were living.

Crandal actually knows more than he is prepared to say and packs a 9mm automatic hand guns, behaviour not normally associated with leprechauns. This may be because he is a member of G2 The Irish Military Intelligence Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G2_%28Republic_of_Ireland%29)


There may or may not be other aspects about Crandal, which may or may not come to light later

Edit - Add in the bit about G2 involvement

Edit 2 - Spoiler
Crandal was killed by the Egyptian god Set

Location - The Facility
A secret government building in North London that has been selected because it is non-descript. It's main function is for holding, interrogating and exterminating entities who are from the Mystical Realms, or any other parallel universe. It has the state of the art scientific equipment. Employees are of the mindset that prisoners are depersonalised entities, who are a possible threat to national security.

Miss Ochre
This is a code name, as employees have to maintain the utmost secrecy. Miss Ochre is a senior lab manager, and as such has access to the cells holding those from the Mystical Realms who have been captured.

Mr Blue
This is a code name, as employees have to maintain the utmost secrecy. Mr Blue is the head of, "The Facility" and takes an active role in interrogating prisoners. His philosophy is to be hard ruthless and tough. His military style haircut lends credence to the rumour that he is ex-military. He is not above using methods bordering on torture, as those from the Mystical Realms are not considered human, do not even have their gender recognised and have no rights. He is very quick to point out how other allied countries use suspect interrogation tactics. Not that he disapproves of them, in fact he believes in the phrase "Inter arma enim silent leges" ("In times of war, the law falls silent.") .

Mr Sepia - More of him possibly next time

New Characters


The Spirit of Fancying (living as a normal human 15 year old girl called Caer O'Docherty)
The Spirit of Fancying was the child of the deseased Spirit of True Love and a human from the Irish Republic, hense The Spirit of Fancying along with her twin Sister were part human. Shortly after her birth, the fairies on leaning of a plot against the twins by the Spirit of Lust set out to remove both twins, but were only able to rescue the Spirit of Fancying as they could only rescue one of them at a time, by by the time they got back it was too late.

The Spirit of Fancying was left at a police station in Dublin as an abandoned child, the best cover the fairies could think of at the time. As she was physically a human baby, she was put up for adoption and adopted by Shaun and Felicity O'Docherty. Her special power is to enable people to see what is good and attractive in other people, but the Spirit of Fancying shunned this power, preferring the name Caer after a celtic princess, and longing for her twin sister and to be fully human. In time her adoptive parents told her she was adopted, making sure to let her know she was special because that had chosen her because they wanted her. She has a human brother, who her parents also adopted. As a result of her upbringing with a human family, The Spirit of Fancying grew up to be a well adjusted and assertive teenager, (assertive in the good sense).

She and her adopted family knew of her heritage because they were told by the leprechauns. This made no difference whatsoever to her relationship to her adoptive parents.

Spoiler
After finally meeting with her sister at Shannon Airport they both took the opportunity to give up their Minor Spirit status and became full humans with a human soul

Shaun and Felicity O'Docherty
The adoptive parents of The Spirit of Fancying. They are fully aware of who her daughter truely is, but they love her all the same. They also adopted a boy when as a baby he was orphaned by a car crash. Like the Spirit of Fancying they longed to find the missing twin sister, so if possible they could adopt her as well.

Shamus McTuckle
Shamus McTuckle is a leprechaun in the Irish diplomatic service and brother of Crandal McTuckle. He also had responsibility for looking after Minor Spirits of Virtue as he arranged for the O'Docherty family to be informed of the status of their adopted daughter, The Spirit of Fancying. He insists on using the proper titles of the Minor Spirits, even though The Spirirt of Fancying prefers to go by her human name of Caer.

Mystical Realms Season 5


For the new fith season story line, we have some new characters coming up, and as I did with the fourth season, to help people follow it, this is the character summary.


Angela Roberts
Angela is the manageress of the coffee shop in the north of England, where for a time The Spirit of Fidelity worked. Angela was raised by her aunt after her parents died and stayed with her aunt to look after her when her aunt became ill with cancer. Her aunt has just died and Angela is kind of at a loose end. Back in 2001, she was present when the cyber warrior as he was then, Graeme Andrews emerged through a dimension gate. They have been close friends ever since. Angela is loving and caring, but beneath that exterior hides the fact she is very resourceful and has a brown belt in karate.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura
Formally the son of the tyrannical Lord Low Troll and for a time went by the name of the Prince Low Troll. Because of troll politics in the mystical realms, he has now adopted his new name to indicate he is now leader of his troll clan.

Edit I am covering this character later in the thread in more detail

Other characters may follow

[Sticks]

Sarah Smith (Token damsel in distress ?)
Sarah Smith is a five year old girl from New Zealand. Her mother died sometime just after her birth, most likely from natural causes. Her father was mysteriously murdered by an unspecified entity from the Mystical Realms, and Sarah herself was abducted from the aircraft in which they were travelling at the time, and sold on as a slave by those claiming to believe she was a hobbit. After being whipped at a state banquet in honour of the new Troll Emperor Graeme Andrews and Queen Angela, she was rescued by the royal pair, healed of her injuries by a troll healing potion and adopted by the royal couple as their own daughter. (See episode one)

The nature of Sarah's abduction is a mystery, as it was also a crime under the laws of the Mystical Realms. She is an innocent victim, and the trolls consider her adoption as going some way to make up for the hurt that has been inflicted upon her by agents unknown

[Sticks]

BTW I did a JK Rowling and from Season Three made one of the reoccuring characters gay .

See if you can spot which one?

[Sticks]

The Clan Chief of the Rachtal Season 5
This is the leader of the Rachtal clan, which during the Mystical Realms Civial war was one of those clans that fought with the orcs on the wrong side, primarily because the orcs had moved against their clan rivals the Manjuara clan and the Lord Low Troll, their leader at the time. The Rachtal and the Manjura are known to not get on, but the clan chief of the Rachtal is an astute politician, seeking to embarrass their rivals and while making frineds with the emperor.

I just spotted that a main character does briefly wonder about this character. I need to learn to read what I write :blush:

[Sticks]

It has been a year since I updated this thread

Would people find it useful if I continued with a sort of glossary / Character profile or would they be considered spoilers, which in effect they could be if some have not caught up?

[Lewis.]

Oh wow.. Sounds exciting. I would like Character bios personally.

[Sticks]

There are so many, so where to start but first this

Style changes
At the end of season five we see the retirement of one main character, and the end of a particular style. It was the end of stories done in the first person.

In order to keep going in season six I had to introduce new characters, and to make the transition one character, the one I will give the character details next made a cameo in season five, it was like a handing over the baton

Also the main switch went from first person to third person, although for season six and the two interim side tales, even though it was third person for the most it was from the perception of one character. In Tales one towards the later episodes the perception alternated between the main protagonist and a relative of theirs. Unavoidable as the protagonist became incapacitated.

Most of the story lines ran for six episodes plus an epilogue (Except for season six and tales one which did not have the epilogue)

Tales two ran for three episodes only



Then there was a long break...


The Relaunch
I came in with Season seven as another relaunch, and brought in as many characters as I could. Plus there was another slight style change. We got parts from other characters view points. Another feature of the relaunch were the back references right to season one and two (Neither aired on TIBB). Characters from both tales were also brought back, effectively bringing the side tales back into the main Parthenon

Also the length of story grew to eight episodes.

Season eight was to tie up loose ends I had left from Seasons one through season six.

Season nine later this year promises to do what the vignettes between season three and season four did, propose a what if...

If you want to see what that was, and if you have not done so already see my season eight

Next posting - before the bios the orgs

[Sticks]

The Organisations



Spoilers for Season four and season six onwards




Inter Dimensional Entity Control

In season four and in the inter season vignettes, we come across this secret organisation, initially the main base was centred in North London in a deliberately nondescript building, called the Facility and in the Kent countryside an off site archive centre with few limited laboratories and three people to staff it, called the Annex

and under the old regime, the Inter Dimensional Entity Control was tasked with capturing any entity that came to Earth from the Mystical Realms, interrogating them and exterminating them, all of course in the interests of national security.

However when they captured the Spirit of Fidelity, a minor spirit of virtue, the old regime made a fatal mistake, when they interrogated her, effectively beating up what to most people could see was a fifteen year old teenager. It was uncovered that she had a human biological father who had been killed in Afghanistan by US friendly fire, days after he had save a number of US personnel.

This led to pressure on the British Authorities to release The Spirit of Fidelity. It later turned out that the former director Mr Blue, was under the control of a major spirit of vice.

Control passed to Mr Sepia who on discovering that some agents of the IDEC had an exterminate mindset passed total control to the Americans.

The Americans had successfully been involved in the eradication of a Colombian drug cartel that was dealing drugs with a troll clan on The Mystical Realms, and had learned, also with the help of the G2 Special unit, to work together with the authorities on the Mystical Realms to obtain their common objectives, reduce the interference in each other's affairs and hide the existence of the Mystical Realms from the rest of the people of Earth.

The Facility was later bombed by a group composing of humans and Mystical Realms entities who were following a very powerful entity known as the Magnus Timor

Due to political pressure, the UK section was never rebuilt and all surviving personnel were shipped to Washington DC.

The official function is to liaise and aid mutual co-operation with the authorities on the Mystical Realms. It has it's own means of reaching the Mystical Realms by artificial means, although these means were once banned by the mutual co-operation pact until they were required to help save their Mystical Realms allies.

Another function is the tracking down of Minor Spirits of Virtue or Vice and helping them to rid themselves of this status and become fully human with human souls, (What all minor spirits aspire to, thus making their job easier) .

The existence of this agency is ultra secret and only known to select people in various other government agencies and to select people in the US Senate


G2 Special Section
G2 is a real organisation. It is the Republic of Ireland's Military Intelligence service.

G2 Special service is where the Leprechauns work from. They are led by a human officer.

Many years previous, the leprechauns came to Ireland and in return for sanctuary in Ireland they offered their services to the Irish government. Like the IDEC this organisation is ultra secret


Special Diplomatic Service
Leprechauns not only serve in military intelligence, but also the diplomatic service to Liaise with the authorities in the Mystical Realms

The Convocation of the Trolls
As the trolls are the dominant species, they run the law and order on the Mystical Realms. There was a civil war which removed a tyrannical leader from one of the clans, and afterwards the last emperor of the trolls proposed an Earth like structure for governance

The trolls run a rotating presidency along the lines of the European parliament, with each clan chief being leader for a season. Not all troll clans are involved as due to the involvement of human drug dealers three troll clans with drew to their ancestral lands, and remain neutral. It is hoped one day they will come back to the fold.

Jenny Green

Spoilers for season six onwards

If you consider the Mystical Realms in two phases, the seasons up to season five, (Apart from the vignettes between season three and four) which were in first person and the rest in third person, the character of Jenny Green forms the bridge.

Jenny Green was first referenced in Season five in episode one and the epilogue. Originally she was an assistant manager at a coffee shop in North East England and the right hand woman of the former manager Angela Andrews nee Roberts.

After Angela's shock resignation after her marriage to Graeme Andrews and their subsequent flight to the Republic of Ireland with the little girl Sarah Smith Jenny was promoted to manager of Angela's old coffee shop.

One Winter's evening she was the victim of what seemed to be a brutal sexual assault, just short of actual rape as she was closing up the coffee shop. After a night in hospital she was then captured by an IDEC retrieval squad working to the old way of doing things and delivered bound and naked, suspected of being a doppelgänger assassin, since that was what her assailant truly was.

After it was established she was human, she then found out about the world of the Mystical Realms and had a brief visit there.

Because she managed to take on at least two doppelgänger assassins and disarm a IDEC technician who had gone rouge, Jenny Green was eventually recruited to serve on the IDEC special operations team. Part of her duties was the assisting of Minor Spirits of Virtue and Vice become fully human

Jenny is accomplished with the short bow after being a junior champion in a regional competition, which on combat missions she has used to deadly effect. Jenny Green has had some experience of unarmed combat and handling some fire arms, from her former fiancée who was a soldier killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb.

Jenny Green did at one point have a sort of unofficial uniform which came about when she encountered a Troll chamberlain still wedded to the old ways of treating females. This is just dark blue skirt shortened to halfway between the waist and her knees, with no other clothing whatsoever (Including panties) and the container for her arrows.

This "uniform" was called the Amazon look, however her CO Colonel Samuel Peters insists she wears something more substantial, which Jenny is normally happy to do so, however there were two times when she deliberately slipped into this "uniform". The first was on the Facility's gun range when she thought her inability to hit a target with a handgun was because she was not wearing the Amazon look. The second in the quarters of Commander Mark Johnston, with whom she began an affair with

Along with Commander Mark Johnston she was considered missing in action, but it recently transpired the pair had been sent to another universe from where they have returned.

The latest on her operational status at the end of the most recent story is

Jenny has now been put on light duties as she is pregnant with Marks baby, revealed by an IDE to be a boy

Next time, The Colonel

Maybe could you make a very, very brief summary of the whole thing so far, in 500 words say, as most of this is huge amounts of text.

Would you ask JK Rowling to do the same of her works :shocked:


The Mystical Realms is a parallel universe that was shaped by our human collective unconsciousness to have every creatures from mythology, folklore and fantasy literatures living in semi ordered communities. They are aware of us, but not many human s are aware of them. Their primary rule is not to interfere in our affairs, a rule mostly honoured in the breach.

Some government agencies are aware of the Mystical Reams existence and keep it secret.

In recent history the Mystical Realms were ran by a tyrannical ruler, suffered a bitter civil war, fuelled by interference from Columbian drug cartels and later a take over by a dangerous cult which used stolen weapons from Earth.

Earth authorities meanwhile went from trying to exterminate all entities from the Mystical Realms to working co-operatively with them, and finally saving them and Earth from the evil cult leader who planned to destroy both worlds by slamming them into one another, at the same time keeping the existence of the Mystical Realms secret from the rest of humanity.

[Sticks]

Colonel Samuel Peters

Samuel Peters is a colonel in the US Marines. He was married and had a daughter, but they were killed in 1998 by a driver who had drunk a whole bottle of Bourbon.

Samuel served with distinction in operation Restore Freedom in Iraq in 2003 along side his friend and comrade Mark Johnston, a commander in the US Marines.

Samuel's introduction to the Mystical Realms came when he was involved in a black ops mission in Columbia when he helped eliminate a drug cartel who had captured a dimension jump orb which allowed them to sell cocaine to the Yataxal troll clan.

As a result of this mission, Samuel was appointed to the Inter Dimensional Entity Control as acting director at the UK base known as the Facility. He also led a special operations team.

He was responsible for the Former Spirit of Kindness becoming fully human

The last mission his special operations team went on together was almost a disaster when going to confront the Magnus Timor. Samuel was the only one who returned safely

Since the destruction of the Facility, he has been operating as the leader of the IDEC special operations unit out of the Washington DC headquarters.

Commander Mark Johnston

Mark Johnston is a commander in the US Marines and he served under Colonel Samuel Peters first in Iraq in 2003 and then on the black ops mission to Colombia to take out a drug cartel that had been dealing drugs with renegade trolls in the Mystical Realms.

Because of his experience Samuel picked him to be his deputy and right hand man at the UK end of the Inter Dimensional Entity Control base known as the Facility, before it was destroyed.

At the time of it's destruction Mark, along with Jenny Green were in Ireland escorting a mother and her daughter, now a former minor spirit of virtue, to go and live with the mother's relatives. As a result on their return to England both Mark and Jenny were arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

When Mark first met Jenny Green, he was impressed by the way she had used a manoeuvre on him to knock him on the floor and ironically this attracted him to Jenny, who is ten years younger than him. This meant he gave up dating several women although he kept his relationship with Jenny on the professional level.

He only started formally dating Jenny after she was nearly executed on the orders of a rouge IDEC aide, and even then after Jenny had made the first move.

Along with Jenny Green he was considered killed in action, but it recently transpired the pair had been sent to another universe from where they have returned.

Rebecca Sands

Rebecca Sands was originally an incidental character in Season six - The Facility Returns (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=78807) then she appeared in the tales, as opposed to the sagas, then she made another appearance in the sagas in Season seven - Orbis Terrarum En Concursus (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=85066)

Rebecca Sands was originally a minor spirit of virtue, The Spirit of Kindness, as her biological father was the major spirit of virtue, The Spirit of Friendship and her mother was a normal human.

Rebecca's biological father disappeared from her life when she was four and she lived with her mother until her mother got into financial difficulties. Rebecca and her mother then had to live with a man just known as Jim who was a pimp, a paedophile ring leader and a creator and distributor child pornography. This Jim, forced Rebecca's mother into prostitution

While her mother was alive, Rebecca was protected from Jim's empire and she was even never told what her mother did for Jim, however at her school in Slough, she never had any friends, because the other children were told by their parents not to associate with Rebecca.

When she had just turned eleven, Rebecca's mother was beaten up by one of Jim's customers and she died of a hospital acquired infection. At the funeral Jim informed Rebecca that she would have to do what Jim demanded, now her mother was no longer there to protect her. It was then that Rebecca in desperation slipped away at the wake and ran away to London.

Rebecca lived rough on the streets of London for a week and a half, only surviving because her low grade empathic powers, without her realising it got people to feed her. Rebecca was tracked down by Commander Mark Johnston and an army officer and taken to The Facility.

At the Facility she was given clean clothes and fed, and then she was confronted by Colonel Samuel Peters with the fact she was a minor spirit of virtue. Rebecca was given the chance to give up her powers that she never knew she had and gain her human soul to become fully human, which she took eagerly.

Rebecca was then sent to America, officially because her maternal uncle. Matthew Sands, lived there with his wife and son, unofficially because former members of the IDEC who did not support the change in policy were considered a threat to all former minor spirits of virtue in the UK.

Rebecca's trip to the US hit a snag when the plane had to divert to New York and she, along with the army officer were arrested on a warrant issued from Miami. (This was because someone had stolen the army officer's identity) Rebecca was extricated from the NYPD thanks to her uncle's law firm while her uncle came down to collect her. It turned out later that a number of NYPD officers had been involved in some competition to clear up as many extradition requests as possible, even when it was obvious that the person being extradited was not the person on the warrant.

Rebecca finally made it back to New Hampshire with her uncle and met the rest of his family. After an incident cause by a bigoted women at the church attended by the Sand's family, Rebecca was formally adopted by both her uncle and her uncle's wife.

Later on, due to the actions of a rouge aid of Mr Vee Rebecca and her then adoptive mother were detained by an IDEC retrieval squad in the US. The leader of the squad in trying to confirm that Rebecca should be exterminated ended up speaking to the new chairman and head of the IDEC, Kathryn Cooper. The extermination order was immediately rescinded and her release was ordered. Unfortunately because Rebecca had been tasered she was supposed to be taken to a medical facility and then released with her mother. However the person tasked with releasing her messed up and she and here adoptive mother were released in separate locations minus their clothing.

Later on Rebecca got to meet the new chairman, who issued a personal apology to her and assured her that she had never done anything wrong.

Rebecca continues to live with her adopted family in Rochester New Hampshire, while her uncle is now a member of the executive oversight committee of the IDEC

This time the character biography of a non human from The Mystical Realms

Chidal
Chidal is an elderly goblin. (Goblins are about three feet tall) Chidal appeared, albeit unnamed in Season Five Emperor of the Trolls (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=77501), then he was in his own Mystical Realms side tale (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=80976) and finally he made an appearance in season seven (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=85066)

Chidal and his wife Fadol elected to go into penal servitude to the trolls when due to crop failure his son Keval became indebted. This manifested itself by Chidal and Fadol serving for several years at the citadel of the troll emperor, Karam Tag Chou in the scullery.

During his time there he came across Sarah Smith who had been abducted by a gnoll from Earth, after it gated onto the wrong aircraft and killed everyone else including the girl's last surviving parent.

Chidal along with his wife realised that the child was not a hobbit but a human and did their best to care for her, until she was rescued by Graeme Andrews and Angela Roberts. For this they were rewarded by granting their freedom, but they elected to continue serving at Karam Tag Chou.

With the change of governance and the loss of importance of Karam Tag Chou, Chidal and his wife were let go and escorted back to their goblin village where to their horror they discovered that their son's family had been slaughtered by renegade trolls on the loyalist side who had attacked the village. This discovery caused Chidal's wife to suffer a heart attack and die.

Chidal then ended up at a local hostelry which the surviving village elders had deemed to be a shelter for survivors of the troll attack. There Chidal made friends with an orphaned female goblin child. After the dwarf landlord's daughter exacted severe corporal punishment on the child, Chidal resolved to take her away back to Karam Tag Chou, only to meet his son Keval.

Chidal ended up returning with the goblin child, who was instantly under goblin law adopted by Keval, to the new farmstead allotted to Keval to help produce food for the goblin village.

When the child's relatives from the goblin city arrived to collect her they judged she was in good hands and allowed her to stay with Chidal and Keval. The aunt, chose to stay with them and so Chidal moved back to the hostelry to take up the job of cook, left vacant by the landlord's daughters decision to leave to return back to the dwarfs.

Chidal served there for a time and was briefly taken to Earth along with his son and he new family, (The goblin child, the aunt who he married and her new baby), to gather intelligence on the Magnus Timor cult that at that time had captured the goblin village.

After the defeat of the Magnus Timor, Chidal returned to working as cook for the hostelry.

Formally the son of the tyrannical Lord Low Troll and for a time went by the name of the Prince Low Troll. Because of troll politics in the mystical realms, he has now adopted his new name to indicate he is now leader of his troll clan.


Ok here is the additional part

The Clan Chief of the Manjura, (Formally the Prince Low Troll), is technically an illegitimate child of the now dead and deposed tyrant, "The Lord Low Troll" as his father, presumably out of vanity, never married his mother. The troll wedding ceremony involves at a state occasion removing ones top and placing it on their betrothed.

Female trolls who are not married are required to go topless, however after the short reign of the last troll emperor, Graeme Andrews this custom was relaxed.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura is of a different temperament from his father and never had the same lust for power, preferring the ways of humans and their democratic ideals. for a troll he is also smaller than most trolls.

Because he was part of his father's squad undoing the work of the major and minor spirits of virtue who had interfered with our world and caused another couple of mortals to fall in love with one another, like the Spirit of True Love had done in 2001, he was not around when the royal court of the Lord Low Troll was slaughtered by a mix of Drow and orcs, and so survived the initial coup de tat.

The Prince Low Troll as he was called then had actually come to undo what he thought was the work of the The Spirit of Fancying although the entity was really The Spirit of Fidelity who was brought up to believe she was her twin sister, and the work he came to break up was actually the product of the Spirit of Lust

He then teamed up with Graeme Andrews and eventually the two became firm friends, and it was the Clan Chief of the Manjura who recommended him to be the last Troll emperor.

Another facet of the personality of the Clan Chief of the Manjura, is that he is gay, and his love interest was Captain Strang, who for time worked on secondment with the new IDEC, until Strang's death when he was gating into the Facility at the precise moment it was blown up by the Magnus Timor cult.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura is now the leader of the clan that guards the dimension jump orbs that allow travel between Earth and the Mystical Realms. He is a crack shot with the cross-bow


This is his current status

He has been arrested by the authorities in Venezuela, and has been shown live on CNN and other news channels and is being charged with being a spy for the United States of America

Incidentally the image used in the stories

Was actually from a D&D site and is of a female troll. I did not spot that until after I had used that image for quite some time :blush:

I love this Sticks! It is really great

[Sticks]

This thread seems to be more popular than the actual stories :rolleyes:

Have you ever tried to get any of your work published Sticks?

I would love to have it published outside of TiBB

The main problem is that the first three seasons used Big Brother as a backdrop, so there could be issues of copyright plus those outside may not know what BB was about and of course it makes it dated.

The vignettes between season three and four were a bit two short. In season four I used Mulder and Sculley from the X-Files as guest characters. In the world of Fan Fiction this is known as "Cross-over" they also do this in TV series as well. I would have to rework those characters.

There is also the issue, is the concept too close to other concepts of apparent parallel worlds, like Narnia and The Never Ending Story.

Plus I also refer to creatures used in other fantasy literature, such as orcs and halflings, would there be an issue from the estate and copyright holder of JRR Tolkien.

These creatures exist in the Mystical Realms because they were formed by our collective human unconsciousness which even gave form to creatures from fantasy literature. Again would those representing JRR Tolkien stick their oar in

What I would really love to see, would be to see these as Hollywood blockbusters but I suspect that is not likely, due to rights issues and the need to do a lot of re-work to make the earlier stories more generic.

:sad:

You could adapt it all though.

Aww, That is a real shame! When is the next little spoiler?

[Sticks]

Well here's a spoiler


http://www.insidesocal.com/prepsports/spoiler.jpg

Next we return to some of the human characters

[Sticks]

I hope to pick this up either Wednesday or Thursday

A few things have come up :sad:

[Sticks]

Mr Vee
This character first appeared in the first of the vignettes (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=75163) I did between season three and season four. He then surfaced in season seven and season eight. The inspiration for this character came from Cigarette Smoking Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette_Smoking_Man) of the X files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files)

Mr Vee's real identity is a mystery as he uses this as a designation rather than his real name, although one villain in one of the saga's referred to him as James, but Mr Vee claimed that name was not real either.

Mr Vee has worked in the darker side of the intelligence business and was involved in such operations even during the Vietnam war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War).

It was there that he met a young woman who was part of the Viet Cong and got her to switch sides. Later for her safety he used his contacts to get her safe passage to England where she settled. Mr Vee kept contact with her and had an affair with her, resulting in the birth of his daughter, Sue-Lim Wang, now a technician with the IDEC.

Mr Vee is a known sceptic with regards trusting and dealing with entities from the Mystical Realms, and it was him who approved the previous director of the IDEC UK, Mr Blue. He is also a member of a small group of sceptics and concerned people suspicious of those from the Mystical Realms.

It is also ironic that he has used his political intrigue to keep a position on the executive board of the IDEC.

Even with his scepticism he is also aware of what can go wrong when people go too far, even on his side, and when his own aide decided in the wake of the bombing of the Facility in London, to falsify orders so the IDEC for a time went back to it's discredited policy of incarcerate - interrogate - exterminate, it was Mr Vee who personally killed him and made sure his other accomplices were rounded up.

The fact that his aide had ordered the execution of his daughter was also a factor in killing of this rogue aide. Even though his daughter is angry at him for seemingly abandoning her and her mother, he still loves his daughter and goes to great lengths behind the scenes to protect her when he can. It is also suspected that it was him that got Sue-Lim her job wih the IDEC. He has even supplied proof that he is her father to ensure that his daughter gets a US passport and US citizenship.

Mr Vee remains an enigma.

He is also rather fond of drinking orange juice from cartons.

[Sticks]

I hope to resume this later this week, but I am involved in other projects.

[Sticks]

Kathryn Cooper

Kathryn First makes her debut in Season Seven and it is not until Season eight that we learn her surname

Kathryn Cooper is the chairman of the executive oversight committee of the relatively new Inter Dimensional Entity Control agency. Since it was formed from people being seconded in from other government agencies, the committee came from mostly those from the parent agencies.

Kathryn became chairman after beating Mr Vee to the post on the untimely death of Mr Gregory Sanderson, her predecessor.

Kathryn is firmly in the camp of those who believe in dealing with governing forces in the Mystical Realms and treating them as allies. When Rebecca Sands was detained it was her who was called, when new in the job to request Finger on Trigger confirmation of Rebecca's termination. A request which she unhesitatingly refused. After the crisis concerning the Magnus Timor had past she insisted on visiting Rebecca in person to apologise.

Over time her job as chairman seems to have evolved, where the committee, have become more like a board of directors, with herself being equivalent to a main director, on the same footing as directors of other more routine agencies, like the NSA and the FBI.

Kathryn has had to learn the art of Washington Politics to keep the IDEC out of the control of the sceptics, and after the defeat of the Magnus Timor, because of a disastrous mission to try and liberate the central city on the Mystical Realms, she was forced keep Mr Vee as her deputy and close down operations in the UK and bring all the remaining technical personnel from England over to Washington

Kathryn answers to a secret Homeland Security based congressional committee on behalf of the IDEC.

She is also, effectively Colonel Samuel Peters commanding officer, even though she is a civilian.

Kathryn has never visited the Mystical Realms, although she has met with beings from there, mostly leprechauns from Ireland's G2 Special section.

[Sticks]

Coming up

Some of the technicians who work at Inter Dimensional Entity Control

(When I have time)

[Sticks]

Pete Smith

All the technicians currently on active service with the IDEC first appeared in Season Seven

Pete Smith is British and used to work for the IDEC UK away from the main former building referred to as The Facility in what amounted to be an archive and off site computer file store in Kent, known as The Annexe. It was here that he, the deceased Jason Turner and Sue Lim Wang, all friends who grew up together and recruited to the IDEC UK together, worked, mostly forgotten by the rest of IDEC UK, and for most part left to their own devices.

Pete is a highly skilled computer engineer and also has abilities both in electronic surveillance and counter surveillance, even creating devices that can reveal the listening devices that professional agencies plant.

Pete is also an authority on the history of both the American and the Soviet space programmes as well as current human space flight.

Pete is unique among the other current technicians in that he has never travelled to the Mystical Realms.

Along with all the other remaining personnel at IDEC UK he was transferred to Washington DC as operations were centred in the US. He was allotted a billet with Sue-Lim his Fiancée although out of deference to Sue-Lim's beliefs they stay in separate bedrooms as they are not yet married.

Current status of his relationship with Sue-Lim

Pete remains resolutely devoted and loyal to Sue-Lim, especially since the revelation about her rape at an immigration detention centre in Florida and her subsequent nervous breakdown which lead to her suicide attempt while in FBI custody after being framed for treason.

The date of their wedding is now in doubt while Sue-Lim is recovering at Bethesda Naval hospital

[Sticks]

Dr Charlene Henshaw

Charlene comes from a military family, but never followed in the family business and studied physics at university. Consequently she is the only one of the technicians to have a formal doctorate, which she got at Cambridge in work connected to string theory. She is a first class theoretical physicist and was working on Membrane theory when all funding for her research was cancelled by the government. It was felt she was getting too close to discovering the existence of the alternative universe of the Mystical Realms

Charlene was given the option of continuing her research on M-Theory under government supervision, but for ideological reasons, Charlene ended up working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN looking for the Higgs Boson. While she was there she discovered from the LHC data the existence of the Mystical Realms anyway, but was unaware that her supervisor was in league with the cult of the Magnus Timor who was using the LHC to awaken the Magnus Timor in exchange for a place on a new world for his son and his family.

When her supervisor's treachery was unmasked and Charlene had witnessed inter dimensional entities, she was recruited to the IDEC, where she became friends with Sue-Lim Wang and Pete Smith.

Charlene and Sue-Lim worked together to create two artificial wormhole generators that would be able to produce larger wormholes to enable heavy combat vehicles and a Prospect space craft to pass through them.

During the attempt to liberate the central city from the Magnus Timor cult, Charlene went with the marines to take part, staying at a base camp out side the city. When that operation was betrayed, Charlene barely got back to Earth with her life, thanks to friendly faeries, (minus all her clothes as wormholes generated by faeries are very tight)

In appearance Charlene is a platinum blonde and tends to insist on going braless all the time and from time to time out of a desire not to show a visible panty line, eschews any underwear. Also when she goes to the beach she always goes topless and in fact never even bothers to pack bikini tops. This fits her profile of being a bit of a rebel.

Before she was recruited, Charlene had taken part in a number of anti Iraq war demonstrations, although since joining the IDEC, she has put all that behind her.

Charlene, like most scientists is a bit of a trekkie

[Sticks]

The final one of our technicians that we have met so far in the Sagas


Sue-Lim Wang
Sue-Lim, like the other technicians first appeared in Season Seven - Orbis Terrarum En Concursus (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=85066)

Sue-Lim's mother was originally with the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war, but was successfully turned by Mr Vee who was an intelligence officer at the time. At the fall of Saigon in 1975 Sue-Lim's mother was spirited out of Vietnam and given assylum in the UK, where on and off Mr Vee had an illicit affair with her, resulting in the birth of of Sue-Lim Wang in the mid to late 1980's.

Growing up, Mr Vee appeared to take no place in Sue-Lim's life and Sue-Lim was convinced that her father had just abandoned her and her mother and went back to America. It was only on her mother's death bed did Sue-Lim find out that her father was some ranking official in Inter Dimensional Entity Control. By then Sue-Lim had been recruited as a librarian come technician at the IDEC-UK off-site storage unit nicknamed, The Annex. Here she worked with her childhood friends the late Jason Turner (Killed during a surprise attack on the troll citadel Karam Tag Chou) and her fiancé Pete Smith. What Sue-Lim did not know at the time, was that it was her father who engineered her recruitment to the IDEC UK

During her time at the IDEC-UK, she was tricked by Mr Davies, Mr Vee's aide into reproducing the banned artificial wormhole generator, originally produced by Timothy Zachery a rouge technician at the IDEC-UK HQ, (Known as the Facility).

As "reward" for this work, Mr Davies ordered her to be executed, or in official parlance, Deep Cleaned by an IDEC Clean up squad along with Jenny Green after he had Colonel Samuel Peters and Commander Mark Johnston arrested.

Her execution order was rescinded at the last minute by Mr Vee himself, who then shot dead Mr Davies who had given the order to kill his daughter. It was later that Sue-Lim learned from the Colonel that the high ranking official in the IDEC-US who was her father was Mr Vee.

This revelation did not quite lead to reconciliation as she became resentful that her father was not letting her do things, like go on the fateful mission that would result in the death of Jason turner. She considered that after abandoning her, he was now interfering in her career.

She did finally manage to get her way to go on the mission in the Russian Prospect craft that was to close any rift that the Magnus Timor might open up around the world of the Mystical realms. This was because, not only was she a brilliant technician in her own right, after piecing together the artificial wormhole generator and working with Dr Charlene Henshaw to augment two to allow heavy equipment and vehicles to pass through to the Mystical Realms, but because she also speaks fluent Russian. Sue-Lim learned this when as a child she accompanied her mother who was a contract cleaner at the Soviet Embassy in London.

Sue-Lim was one of the few from the IDEC-UK to return back to our universe after dealing with the Magnus Timor, and the only member of the team to have done a space walk, when she and the Russian pilot had to abandon the Progress craft to space walk to a the USS Endeavour space shuttle. (A space walk she only barely made alive)

On return to Earth, Sue-Lim found herself trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare and placed in an immigration detention centre in Florida. According to international law, any astronauts rescued in space must be returned to the country they were launched from. Sue-Lim was supposed to be going to Washington DC as the IDEC-UK had been wound up with all remaining personnel transferred to the IDEC-US, but for a time US Immigration insisted she had to return to Russia and apply for a visa to enter the US. It was suspected that the parentage of her mother was a cause of this.

It was only on the intervention of the chairman of the executive committee of the IDEC, Kathryn Cooper that she was released and picked up in person by Kathryn cooper. By that time Sue-Lim was sporting severe facial bruising which she passed off as a result of the emergency space walk, and she had a reluctance to talk about her time at the immigration centre.

Over her time subsequent to this, she suddenly had issues of intimacy with her Fiancé which she worked to overcome. Pete Smith loves her and knows she loves him, so respected whatever Sue-Lim was working through. Periodically her new friend Dr Charlene Henshaw would come across Sue-Lim after she had been crying, but Sue-Lim passed it off as a cold she had picked up.

The truth only came out, after they had found illegal surveillance devices in hers and Pate's billet at Quantico , allegedly planted by another government agency, which caused Sue-Lim to go AWOL. After tracking her down, Dr Charlene Henshaw got from her that whilst at the immigration detention centre, she had been assaulted by a senior guard in revenge for the loss of his brother in the Vietnam war, and on his orders gang raped by two other guards.

Sue-Lim was then arrested on false charges by the FBI, and whilst in their custody attempted suicide by hanging with an enchanted scarf unwittingly delivered to her by Celeste.

Sue-Lim was only saved when Celeste blew away the door to the interrogation room and materialised briefly to scream for help.

Current status

Currently Sue-Lim is recovering at the Bethesda Naval hospital. The date of her wedding to Pete is now in doubt

[Sticks]

Coming next some of the bit part characters that may or may not be part of Season nine ...

(Assuming there is a season nine)

[Sticks]

Matthew Sands

This character first appeared in Rebecca's Journey (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=80109) the first of the side tales and Season Seven (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=85066)

Matthew Sands is a lawyer and is married to Susan Sands with whom he had a son, Frank. Matthew lives with his family in Rochester, New Hampshire. Matthew is the maternal uncle of Rebecca Sands the former Spirit of Kindness. Both he and his wife are aware that Rebecca Sandswas a minor spirit of virtue.

Matthew, his wife and son are committed and faithful Christians.

Matthew suffers a form of night blindness which means he can not drive at night.

When Matthew's younger sister died in England, and her orphaned niece, Rebecca Sands, was found by members of IDEC-UK and taken to their UK base where Rebecca Sands got rid of her low grade powers and gained her human soul. She was then meant to have been flown to New Hampshire to be collected by Matthew.

However after her plane had to divert because of bad weather, his niece got arrested in New York on trumped up charges in an unofficial competition between NYPD precincts over who could clear the most extradition warrants.

Matthew got the law firm he works for, New York head office, to get her out of custody and while a colleague drove him down to New York City arranged for his niece to be fostered by a couple he knew from way back, who had even attended his wedding.

After finally returning to New Hampshire, and after an incident where Rebecca Sands was almost abducted by two child molesters because a bigoted woman would not let her into a church building for a youth club, on account of Rebecca Sands parentage, Matthew and his wife legally adopted Rebecca as their daughter. This had been something he had wanted to do years before as a way of trying to deal with a family row between his sister and his father, but initially thought had no longer been an option as he thought his son might object.

When a rouge aide of Mr Vee had Matthew's wife and, (by now), adopted daughter captured by an IDEC-US retrieval squad. He thought he would never see either again.

They were released separately, twenty four hours later, minus their clothes. Susan Sands in her car and Rebecca Sands dumped in a baseball park, naked tied up, gagged and blindfolded.

Because of the way his wife and daughter had been "released" he was informed by Kathryn Cooper Chair of the executive committee of the IDEC, that the person who had mishandled the release had been asked to resign, and Matthew was invited to be part of the IDEC executive oversight committee. An invite which he accepted.

Matthew now assists, on a part time basis, with legal requirements of the IDEC.

[Sticks]

Walter Quentin

Walter Quentin came in season eight

Walter is a balding man and the director of the National Security Agency, the US agency considered more secretive than the CIA. He is one of the very few in the intelligence community in Washington DC who has been read in on the existence of the Mystical Realms and the IDEC.

It was Walter who recommended Kathryn Cooper for the position of Chairman of the Executive Oversight board of Inter Dimensional Entity Control.

When NSA devices were found at the billet of Sue-Lim Wang and Pete Smith it was he who recognised that they were unauthorised and when the FBI arrested Sue-Lim when she was set up, it was Walter who managed to force the FBI director in charge, who he was at Yale University with and is also a golfing partner, to reluctantly release Sue-Lim into Kathryn's custody.

Walter has connections with other agencies, like the Department of Justice, which from time to time, as with the case of Sue-Lim prove to be useful.

[Lewis.]

Just read through all of this and it is really amazing Sticks. You have a real talent and i hope you go far in the writing world

[Sticks]

Susan Sands
This character first appears in Tales 1 and then Season seven

Susan is the wife of Matthew Sands and like her husband a committed Christian witha thorough knowledge of the Bible. The two of them married quite early, and very soon after their marriage she fell pregnant with her son, Frank. Unfortunately there were complications with the birth of her son, which meant she could never bear any more children, which to her was a great tragedy as she had wanted a daughter as well.

She almost had a chance to gain a daughter, when her husband's niece, Rebecca Sands was born, but due to further family arguments that came to nothing, so Susan threw all her devotion into her son, her husband and her part time job in a real estate office in Rochester, New Hampshire.

When Rebecca's mother died in England, (Rebecca's father had long disappeared), and Matthew Sands brought her to their home, Susan was only too eager to welcome the young orphan, and even told Rebecca that she considered her the daughter she could never have and even empathised with her when on arrival in the Sands home, Rebecca Sands became overwhelmed by delayed grief over the death of her mother.

Susan also revealed to Rebecca that both Susan and Matthew Sands both knew that Rebecca had been a minor spirit of virtue but had given up that to gain her human soul. Susan drew on her Christian belief and a knowledge of the Bible to reassure Rebecca Sands that everything was ok with them about her past.

While her husband went back to work, it was Susan who took responsibility for helping Rebecca integrate into the American school system.

When a bigoted woman at her church caused problem's for Rebecca Sands on account of the girl's parents never being married, which almost lead to the abduction rape and murder of Rebecca, it was Susan Sands who went head to head with the woman on Rebecca's behalf. After this incident it was Susan, rather than her husband who pushed for both her and Matthew Sands to legally adopt Rebecca Sands as their daughter.

Later Both Susan and Rebecca Sands along with a G2 leprechaun were arrested and detained by a clean up squad sent after Rebecca by Mr Vee's over zealous aid Mr Davies. After Rebecca's execution order was countermanded by Kathryn Cooper, Susan, along with Rebecca were sedated and detained in a government facility whilst they were checked out, before Susan was released naked in her Jeep in a Walmart parking lot.

Susan remains committed to her faith, and is devoted to her family, including Rebecca Sands who she considers to be her daughter just as if she had her, herself.

bluuuuuud clart... how does this site work and whts it for?????????? whatttt uppppp homies... god bless YA ALL

[Sticks]

Sophie ???

Sophie first appears in season 8 but her surname was never revealed

Sophie is the personal assistant come secretary to the chairman of the Executive oversight committee of Inter Dimensional Entity Control, Kathryn Cooper. She tends to be a by the book PA, even when Colonel Samuel Peters asked her to get a tracking satellite system online to track an unauthorised artificial wormhole generator, she insisted that according to protocol only her boss could authorise it. This led to some friction between Kathryn Cooper and Sophie, as it caused a lost opportunity.

Sophie has on file all the contact details of the various government agencies.

Sophie as well as being a fairly competent PA has also some expertise in fashion and hair care.

We last Sophie her as she was asked by Kathryn Cooper to get brand new clothes for Celeste. Celeste had magically disintegrated the clothes she had been wearing, prior to reporting to Kathryn Cooper. Sophie had refused to let the naked Celeste into Kathryn's office without at least wearing a pair of boxer shorts Sophie had bought that day for her boyfriend.

Sophie will be back in season nine


The next bio, and last of this run of biographies will be the latest Inter dimensional entity to be recruited to Inter Dimensional Entity Control...

[Sticks]

Sorry for the delay of the next bio - Life has been happening my end :sad:

[Sticks]

For the moment this is the last in this set of biographies. Further ones may come at a later date


Celeste (The Spirit of Second Chances)
Celeste first appears in Season Eight - I originally designed her as a super bad hench-woman, but to my surprise she eventually switched sides. It is amazing how some characters take on a life of their own.

Celeste is the daughter of The Spirit of Death and Lachesis the middle one of the three Greek fates. For most of her life Celeste was actually told that her mother was The Spirit of Destiny, and that her father The Spirit of Death had let her die. This was because the the Lord Low Troll would have had Celeste put to death if it was found that she had two living parents. Because Celeste believed this lie, her relationship with her father was strained, and her father at one time said she was a waster and would never amount to anything.

Because she is the product of the union of two major spirits of necessity Celeste is actually a major spirit of virtue, to be precise The Spirit of Second Chances. In relationship to death, she is for when someone is facing certain death, but fate takes a hand and they survive.

Celeste appears as a teenager, as that is what she is by human standards and has jet black hair. In certain physical area's of Celeste's body she could be described as "well developed". For most of her life her clothes are themed on black and she dressed like a goth, although after she had switched sides she rejected that colour as she wished to be associated with life, and to her black is the colour of death.

Celeste's powers allow her to teleport from place to place, go invisible to mortal beings, use telekinesis and fire force blasts which can blast doors, cut ropes and ignite fires. This force blast can also be used to keep people from moving. Her main ability though is to heal and clean people up. When she exercises this power her eyes glow with a brilliant green light. Celeste also had for a time access to an orb of dimension jumping, that allowed her to travel between Earth and the Mystical Realms, although she tends to prefer Earth to her home world.

Celeste also has the ability to disintegrate any clothing she is wearing, leaving her naked, more of that in a bit.

There is one drawback to Celeste's ability to teleport, in that any clothes she wears when she teleports, will disintegrate if she tries to take them off by normal means

Because of Celeste's estrangement from her father, Celeste was tricked by a wealthy British industrialist to work for him. Under his influence she was lead to believe that in order to protect her boss she had killed the former head of the IDEC and The Spirit of Friendship, (Rebecca Sands biological father).

The industrialist also managed to persuade Celeste to doctor her father's duty book, so that the Spirit of Death went to collect the soul of the industrialist before he was scheduled to die. This allowed the industrialist to use drow magic to imprison The Spirit of death, and Celeste then took over his duties to prove she was not the waste of space her father had told her she was.

Celeste in her eagerness to please the one person who seemed to treat her better than her own father, inadvertently caused the assassination of Colonel Samuel Peters to ultimately fail, although it could be argued that she was without realising it fulfilling her role of giving people who face death a chance of surviving.

As Celeste tried to carry out her father's duty of cutting the celestial threads of those due to die, so their souls could be released quickly, found it hard to do. Ultimately this was not meant to be her path, and in at least two cases on her "rounds" as it were refused point blank to cut the celestial threads, choosing instead to use her powers to save those due to die. One being a four year old Mexican boy. Her attempt to save an elderly woman proved fruitless as her celestial thread was cut remotely by another entity, as it really was time for that elderly women to die.

Celeste was tricked by the industrialist to deliver an enchanted scarf to Sue-Lim Wang while the IDEC technician was in custody in the FBI's Hoover building. The scarf was trapped that any mortal human, not protected from it's magic would lapse into despair and use it to commit suicide. Celeste for unknown reasons to herself had taken a liking to Sue-Lim and desperately tried to intervene directly to save her from hanging, however the enchantments acted like a force field preventing her from intervening, forcing Celeste to use her powers to raise the alarm in the building so that FBI agents were able to come to the rescue.

Celeste only realised the nature of the scarf when she tried to use her invisibility to mortals to eves drop on a meeting between Kathryn Cooper of the IDEC and Shamus McTuckle from the Irish Special diplomatic service. Shamus McTuckle being a leprechaun was able to see Celeste and forced her to appear to Kathryn. When Celeste learned the truth that the one person's assassination she helped thwart by accident, worked for Kathryn she offered to try and get the industrialist to call off any further attempts on his life and then went straight to see the industrialist, where he used the same magic to imprison her.

Celeste was only released thanks to the efforts of the renegade IDEC technician Timothy Zachary, Jenny Greenand Commander Mark Johnston.

Celeste on learning the truth about her parents and that she was a major spirit of virtue ended up switching sides and on return to the offices of the industrialist told him that she would no longer work for him and apologised to Colonel Samuel Peters for being involved in the plot to assassinate him.

Celeste later redeemed herself when one of the industrialists associates, a member of a Northern Ireland loyalist group opposed to the peace process set off a talisman of disintegration in order to destroy the Stormont building. These magical devices on the Mystical Realms are the equivalent of WMD's and are banned, so on impulse Celeste took the talisman, teleported to the Moon, as it was visible in the night sky and was barely able to teleport back. As she has human form, she suffered the effects of sudden exposure to vacuum which almost proved fatal to her.

Celeste tries to come across as full of bravado and tough, but deep down was hurting and had a soft humane streak that even extends to wanting to heal animals as well as humans.

Celeste as stated before is eager to please, probably as a response to most of her life being told she was a waster. When she does mess up, as with the case when she inadvertently thwarted the assassination of Colonel Samuel Peters and after she had realised that by working for the British industrialist she had been working for the wrong side, she disintegrates her clothes believing she has forfeited the right to clothing. This is because when she was younger she lived in a halfling and goblin village where the custom was that anyone who had caused problem had to go naked to show their shame and humiliation until it was deemed that they had earned the right to wear clothes again,

When Celeste tried this the day she was told by her father to report for duty at the IDEC, she was made to wear at least a pair of men's boxer shorts by Kathryn's PA, Sophie before she was allowed into Kathryn's office. On explaining this custom, and offering to work naked as punishment for working for the industrialist a very penitent Celeste was informed that this was not the custom on Earth and Kathryn used her coat to make sure Celeste was covered completely. Celeste was then sent by Kathryn with Sophie to get new clothing, not themed on black, including a bra. Prior to this Celeste went braless as she always found them uncomfortable, but she was assured by Sophie that the PA knew a place where Celeste could be fitted properly.


In Season nine Celeste will be discovering that her trip to the moon and back has other personal consequences and that she may have been the subject of a dark prophecy

Stay tuned :shocked:

For the record next came my Tales from and around the Mystical Realms Volume three

Trailer
8tv0JJe50WU

This featured a character introduced in Season nine, a kobold by the name of Meetal.

Meetal, something of an outcast from amongst other kobolds worked as a personal fixer for the Lord Low Troll, but managed to hide during the civil war. It is believed a lot of his sneak actions during the reign of the Lord Low Troll led to many executions, justly or for political expediency.

When Earth fell to a troika of two trolls and a drow, the Lord Low Troll who had pretended to be dead, since it was really a twin brother murdered during the start of the civil war, sent Meetal to Earth to seek out the enigmatic Mr Vee and pass on a message that the Lord Low Troll was ready to do a deal with Earth to overthrow those who had conquered it.

Like the Lord Low Troll, Meetal is passionate about one thing, keeping the Sacred Law which forbids any entity from the Mystical Realms interfering in the affairs of the world of humans.

Then came season ten

This was the conclusion of the War of the Realms Story arc.

More details of characters later

Also for the moment the series is now "parked" because I need a break from it and because the council is due to rip my flat apart, the final Big Brother is this summer and I am due to go to Lundy Island in October.

[Sticks]

I have now updated my blueyonder website which has the complete Season one and what I did of Season two, including the Season two trailer I once did in Flash 2.0

The relevant section of my website can be found here (http://www.stickings90.supanet.com/mysticalrealms/mythology.htm)

[Sticks]

I have some vague ideas for a further storyline but I can not start on anything until possibly October from the way things are going at this time.

[Twilight]

Lol

[Sticks]

My Blueyonder site is down for the time being and while I am away from my regular broadband and using a dongle to get intermittent internet access I can not get access to try a fix that was suggested.

So I have uploaded the history of my Mystical Realms sagas and tales to my Supanet site here (http://www.stickings90.supanet.com/mysticalrealms/mythology.htm)

[Sticks]

Update

My Blueyonder site is no more as Virgin Media did some migration of websites.

I therefore have a Virgin Media website, and so the entire history of my Mystical Realms stories has been placed here (http://www.stickings90.webspace.virginmedia.com/mythology.htm) :dance:

Meanwhile

This is something I have been working on

TR-BMRieaIc

Although it may be interrupted by other things like looking for a new job:bawling: and the trip to Lundy Island, possibly for the last time. :bawling:

[Sticks]

OK

I completed earlier this week my latest story The Implements of the State (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157620)

I have hidden this bit if you are still wading through it, but if you have....


It is part of the cannon of the Mystical Realms stories as Tales from and around the Mystical Realms - Volume 4. It takes place about three years after Season Ten and the first part of a new story arc - assuming I can get to complete it :whistle:



I also need to update this section in the light of completing my War of the Realms story arc which started in Season nine, carried on in Tales volume three and completed in Season Ten.

Meanwhile I have other projects, like looking for another job :sad:

The Lord Low Troll (Madron)

The Lord Low Troll was orginally just Madron of the Manjura Clan from the region at the head of the River Jura.

Madron was one of two identical twins, the other being Mida, however during their birth there were complications with Midah's birth leading to the death of their mother and Midah's brain damage. The tragedy was made complete because all the healing potion that day had been used up on the elder brother Kedrel.

At the funeral of his father, whose death he had engineered, Madron arranged for Kedrel's assassination by a doppelgänger assassin and then he killed the assassin.

This lead to Madron being elected to leader of his family.

Madron then secretly married Geerol who was of the shamed Ghetto clan, after she revealed that she was pregnant. Madron's first born was a daughter Brameana.

Madron had his eyes on the job of clan leader and when the emperor of the trolls was dying and they all assembled at Karam Tag Chou, the home of the emperors, he struck at the clan leader. Madron conspired with another member of the Manjura clan and a member of the Delethon clan to kill the Clan leader of the Delethon and frame the Clan Leader of the Manjura.

The deception worked and the Clan Leader of the Manjura was executed. Madron secretly supplied a cure to the emperor and was elected the New Clan Chief of the Manjura and his fellow Manjura troll became Troll at arms

However there was a heavy price, as Madron's rise to power was not as firm as he would like, and his new deputy, the Troll at Arms pointed out, that they would never follow his leadership if they knew he had as a wife, a member of the Ghetto Clan.

Madron was advised to have both his wife and daughter secretly murdered, but because of his love for them, sent them away into exile to the Far Islands.

This lead to Madron becoming embittered and at odds with his Troll at Arms and later arranged his murder.

Madron moved to the city on the Central plains where he built his power base and gained the contract for enforcing law and order.

Madron took a consort as according to consort and she gave birth to a son she called Padow, but was later renamed The Prince Low Troll

At the same time the emperor finally died, and when the clans assembled for his funeral near the Central City, Madron once again struck and forced the favoured to succeed him to vote for Madron to become leader of all trolls.

Madron, however eschewed the title of Emperor as that would mean leaving his favoured Central City for the Citadel, in stead he took the title of Lord Low Troll.

As Lord Low Troll, he gained a reputation of a brutal tyrant, which he used to keep the warring races in check and thus keep the peace.

Madron later went on to prosecute The Spirit of True Love, Lachesis and Graeme Andrews, but the Griffin judge threw outh the charges against Graeme Andrews, The Spirit of True Love allegedly committed suicide just before the verdict and Lachesis aquitted on a technicality.

This indirectly led to a civil war, where it was thought that Madron was killed at the beginning, but secretly he had been using his twin brother Midah as a stand in, and it was he who was slain.

Madron then became a hermit living in the Waylong mountains, with only his faithful kobol retainer Meetal knowing the truth.

Madron had a personal collection of magic artefacts, which he later used when he did a deal with representatives from Earth to defeat his his estranged daughter and her drow lover who had captured Earth, in order to seize power.

Clean up Squads



These squads featured as far back as the vignettes between season three and four, although they were not specifically referred to as such.

They are recruited from the cream of special forces, both UK and later the US. They were the sort of enforcement arm of the Inter Dimensional Entity Control organisation. It was their task to remove with extreme force any inter dimensional entity from the Mystical Realms who might be visiting Earth, or any specific human who might have knowledge of the Mystical Realms. This was to ensure that the secret of the Mystical Realms was withheld by the powers that be from everyone else.

Fans of Buffy the Vampire will remember a similar outfit called "The Initiative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Initiative_(Buffyverse))" in that story arc. A similar concept

During their time when there was a presence of the IDEC in the UK, and under the leadership of Mr Blue, a Clean Up Squad was authorised to "Deep clean" individuals, which was a euphemism for killing them, human or entity.

In season seven, an aide to Mr Vee, took control of a squad and ordered the execution of Jenny Green and Sue Lim in order to leave no witnesses to his attempted coup. However as Sue-Lim was Mr Vee's daughter, Mr Vee shot his aide dead and countermanded the execution order in the nick of time, just as the two women were being garotted.

After that event, the Cart Blanche authorisation to carry out Deep Cleans of individuals was rescinded.

With the move of the IDEC to a total US operation, the Clean Up Squads were officially disbanded, however former UK cells still survived, and in Tales Volume four, one was reactivated by individuals unknown and duped into to carrying out their orders, until Brigadier General Samuel Peters was able to countermand the orders given to at least one Clean up Squad cell.

As it looks like there is a remote possibility of a 13th Mystical Realms saga, here is some further background


The Drow

The drow are classed as dark elves, and they were borrowed from the Fantasy Role Play Game, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. They are described as the arch enemies of the elves. This article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29) has more in depth information about the drow.

In the Mystical Realms, like AD&D they are considered the arch nemesis of the elves with slightly more magical ability.

In Season Seven they scored a public relations coup over the elves with the human IDEC organisation by pointing out that unlike the elves none of their number were taken in by the Magnus Timor cult. In fact the drow were very dismissive of the Magnus Timor and offered to work with the humans in his defeat. In fact in that story one of the elves that was working with the humans was the actual traitor, something the drow would make capital of if they could.

Also in season seven one of the drow revealed that while the mostly American backed IDEC worked with the trolls and their allies the elves, the Drow had been working all the while with the Russians.

The Hadreth
An elite order from amongst the Drow, that even some drow were terrified of

According to the Lord Low Troll, "They were a fine order of warriors and intelligence gathers once, But their use of secrecy and some dark magics corrupted them even by drow standards, but the Drow High Council thought they were useful against the elves"

In the War of the Realms Story Arc, (Season Nine, Tales Three, Season Ten), the order under the leadership of Vabalavich manipulated the daughter of the Lord Low Troll to engage on a mission of vengeance which saw the defeat of Earth and overthrowing the rule of the trolls. The main aim of the drow was to exploit the resources of Earth and overthrow the Drow high council and rule the drow themselves.

The Hadreth Drow even brokered a deal with demons who went back even before the humans, so they could ensure that Earth was theirs to exploit.

In season ten, with the rolling back of time thanks to an artefact kept by the Lord Low Troll, their rule vanished and Vabalavich was assassinated by Major Bolak a Drow High Council loyalist before he could carry out his plan in the new time line. The Hadreth coup de tat therefore in the new time line never happened


Little is know what became of the order after the worlds were separated, rumours being that in the new timeline, the Drow High council may have ordered it's disbandment, along the lines of what happened in real life to the Knights Templars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Templars)

And thus things ended in 2012.

I did a season 12 which was to be part of a two season story arc, but life got in the way and season 13 at the moment is unfinished and I have other projects.

Sorry about that, I suspect I should have stopped at season 11 :sad:
