So, let's propose the small chance the area I live in goes to hell in a handbasket with people at each others' throats for blood. Worse than riots. The situation where **** hits the fan.

Personally, if our society does go "boom" I'm going to be heading to a remote outskirt ASAP. That doesn't mean people won't get in my way, and I won't be able to simply slip past them.

I've rolled it in my head a little bit, and I figured you'd have a solid chance with maybe a crossbow or a bow while wearing a backpack with a built in quiver, perhaps letting you easily carry your sleeping bag, medical essentials, and food. The biggest downside however, would be rate of fire compared to people who'd get nice little boomsticks to blow my *** in half faster than I could dive the **** out of the way. A good reliable handgun might help, but what I'm really interested in is stopping power vs reliability vs ergonomics vs ease of carrying. If a bow or a crossbow could gently rest on my back, that'd be nice, but unlikely.

But the kit I'm trying to build is one for survival in complete chaos, and while an AR15 is super fun, the ammo would run out, and be a ***** to carry, and a bigger gun is a bigger burden. I'm looking for a lightweight defenses that last. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

It's for a character.

I want it to be Black Feather, step by step.

Translation sites aren't helping and just leave me confused. I'm deeply trying to make this a true name instead of something crudely cobbled together by an American who couldn't give a **** to properly research what the hell he was doing.

The character is male, and is native to Japan. Which district I haven't decided yet.

Given: Hotaka( Step by step) (I couldn't find the Chinese character despite multiple websites)

Surname: Kuro+Hane

From Japanese 黒 (kuro) meaning "black"

Feather - 羽 (Hane)

Kurohane Hotaka?

(Black Feather, step by step)

I'm aware of the Surname before Given, so maybe it's my format. But please, I really like the concept of the meaning, but, what's the point of a definition if you don't know the word? Like..define red without saying "red." That's how I feel.

Let's just assume I know jackshit, but what I'm looking for is a solid connection for gaming, downloading, and watching Youtube. I recently moved into an apartment in Memphis, I get paid about $250 or more a week, and I can handle rent and utilities, but I'd love to improve my place.

Okay, I can't take it anymore.

She'd been raped throughout her life and has gone through hellish amounts of torture and pain, she has mental issues from it even, ect...but..she left scars on me. I love her, I love her, I love her, and I love her, but she just left marks on me.

Emotional ones, just from seeing a pair of lesbians together, from seeing outcasts like the both of us were like, stuff like that. It's been months, but I wanted to marry her and ect...I just...I finally got to the point I can sort of see my life without her, but each day I still break down. I still just want to kill myself, I'm writing this instead of thinking about another attempt.

It probably doesn't help that she had told the school I tried to kill myself a couple days after we broke up, it was for a completely different reason, but everyone thinks I did it to force her back together with me, whatever...just...just whatever. The school called my mom, and a few hours she dropped me off at a bus station and just like that everything I ever knew was gone. Friends, family, her, everything was gone.

Look, I'm scarred by just that as well, but does a breakup like mine have to be this painful?

I don't know how to really explain this all, but damn it, I just want to ******* die. I'm sick, I'm tired. My entire life feels like a cheap joke.

I probably am pretty emotional right now...but it's been months. Months. I'm still hurting.

I'm writing a book about a sort of species of men that are twisted by a deity. They're mainly healers, but use blood magic to do so. They have red eyes, move much faster than normal humans, and are stronger too. But they're being hunted by a group known as the Chantry, who think the blood magic using humans are corrupted by demons. The Chantry and the blood mages are two major powers in their world, the Chantry being control, domination, safety, and deceit.The blood mages(I can think of a dang name) are healers. Like a guild, but with no profit. They're nomads who roam between hidden temples, helping the people as they go. Problem is, the Chantry is right. The blood mages have to feed off of humans, not like a vampire or zombie but like feed off the flesh.

It's like a struggle between an overbearing heaven and a hell trying to redeem itself.

1st off, I'm a freshman in high school who was on the wrestling team but had to quit due to injury. I'm still injured but can move around normally, pain notwithstanding. I used to do a lot of parkour and jocks often call 'Assassin' because I still run from class to class. And I'm not joking, I slip through crowds of people even at a full sprint. (I can't climb anymore due to my shoulder) I'm in good shape so to say, not buff, but not skinny. I don't have any fat on me, it's mainly natural muscle and what has stayed with me from wrestling.

2nd, I'm from Portland, Oregon, but live in Acworth, Georgia. I act a lot differently from people that I go to school with. I often think of myself as a freak, but I have a broader vocabulary than everyone I know. I'm well spoken and often can cut deep with verbal logic if the person I'm arguing with is smart enough to know what I'm saying. But I keep to myself and have an 'aggressive' looking face.

3rd, my actual aggression. I keep to myself as I said, but my face and body language give it off. I also tend to crush people's hands when I shake them, others also tell me that I glare a lot. I hate myself for this, but I accidentally hurt my friends physically almost every week. I haven't gotten in a fight yet this year but joined a self defense class provided by my school and about a hundred or so people saw me spare with my best friend on the first day of the class. I think I was to rough with him or something but only the bravest of the jocks or my close friends will spare with me.....I always wonder why, but I enjoy the class anyways.

4th, I'm just a short kid from a messed up family. I've got brown eyes and dark brown hair. I don't see anything scary about that but people tend to stay away from me or look the other way when I walk by. I'm not a jerk to everyone although, I treat my friends like family and enjoy my classes with my favorite teachers. Especially my last period teacher Major White, he teaches our ROTC class. He's cool.

5th, my wardrobe is a mix between what I could consider 'thug' and 'stoner,' but I don't smoke.There's a lot of black, red, and grey in there too.... I also wear a thin, oversized jacket with the hood up almost always. It's a dark, grey with the word SAVAGE on the front, but, haha, since the zipper broke it says SAV on the one side and AGE on the other.

I'm not good looking or anything, I act really random at times, I think I'm bipolar, and people just love to hate me at school.

But why the hell am I getting all these sideways glances and why won't people treat me like another kid at school or something? Am I just a freak or something? Anyways, my 16th birthday is coming up so my friends have been leaving me alone lately cause I've been quiet about it...so...yeah....

I'm planning to have the whole book about sanguine powers, blood manipulation and the like. The cover's a bloodstain and I don't plan for it to be extremely dark, I'm planning out for: Guy discovers his powers, guy is taken into a society who is based from the power, guy learns to control his power.

Oh, and there's gonna be a few vampires and whatnot....so...yeah...

I get along with people and am great with strangers, and I've taken a leadership program.

I'm thinking multiple places for employment and since I'll be sixteen soon, I want a job over the Summer.

1.An Asian resturant that is interested in me.

2.A Pagan store that is very interested in me.(But has slow busines)

3.Walmart or Publix. My family shops there and I'd have an easier time getting to work.

4.A local hospitable, I want to become a doctor or nurse one day.

5.A large towering building in Atlanta, I am courus about being an intern.

Please give advise, monologues would help the best. Thank you.

I'm doing a little skit and hoping my teacher won't notice.

A character in my writing is going to be shot, and I need an onomatopoeia for the sound and for his reaction. It needs to be better than the standard *BOOM* or *CRACK* and *KAPOW*. I want something scary sounding since the gunshot ruins a gentle moment.

Could you maybe go to a website called Figment.com and search Raven's Cairn. Start with Part One and PLEASE continue on. I want to know if my writings are good or bad. Comment with a chapter name so I know that you bothered to pay attention. I thank you for your time.

I can't remember if it was one or more.

I don't want to sound like an idiot, but I want to know a few phrases spoken in Russian, translated to English. I know it sounds odd and pretty annoying, but any phrases can help. They need to be in English, though. I don't want to spend hours cross translating. The more, the better. Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

At home workouts, without equipment. Just using my body and body weight. I'm 15, and in pretty good shape, but want to bulk up to join an MMA gym.

If you had to fight a feral dog, what would you do to survive?

Not like the T.V. actors, just for fun. I like to make sure my dog, Natchez, a German Shepperd, knows how to fight. I don't hurt him though, can't really, but I love playing with him in a rough and tumble way. Anyone else?

Not really, but he can't seem to move as well as I can in the dark. I stop, he stops, I walk, he goes slower than a turtle. I am a night-owl, but can't dogs at least keep up. I took him outside once and I snuck up on him, both situations though had the wind blowing at random directions. He's healthy, but not nocturnaly coronated....what's up?

I've known this girl since the beginning of the school year and we have hung out a bit. She hasn't shown me any affection, but she's super shy. No other boy talks to her and she knows I like her, still nothing. We have had a few.....''moments,'' were the world just stops and we look at each other, smile, and try not to look foolish. Still, I've spent the whole year with her, was even on a field trip together and nothing. She is into guys and magna, turns out she likes guys with long hair, with my hair color. Regeting a recent haircut, I was asked out by a girl, who is still my current girlfreind,(She won't leave me alone and I don't want to leave a girl in tears.)I said yes to the girl to show I could be a good partner. That plan must have failed beyond F.U.B.A.R.. I suck. So if it's a crush then why am I still chasing after a girl who seems not interested in the only guy who likes her. I feel like such a fool. We have two days left of school and I want her to know I care about her, and that I'm not like her last possible boyfriend who was only screwing with her. I love her, but I don't think she realizes that I'm not playing a cruel joke on her.
