LEGENDS OF ETHYR
CHAPTER 1 (cont'd)
"There you are!" Captain Blakely called out through the crowd. He was a stocky for a City Gaurd, but just as well he was held in high esteem by his peers. A strict Captain who was by the book in most cases, but he was known to have a soft side htat came out quite often. People would attribute it to his being a Grandfather at realtively young age of 54. But nonetheless, he was an invaluable asset to Capitol City, loved by the people and respected by the Gaurd.
It was a busy day today, more so than usual for this area of the city. The Rafale municipality was home to the aristocracy and nobility of Salvaria

CHAPTER 1
The Xenetia, home to the largest of trees in both height and width. A land
covered by overgrowth of wild flora spanning for miles and miles. At night the
sky is lost to the canopy of the forest, only a fraction of light from the Moon
and Stars pierce the thick wall of leaves and branches that hang over the
region. Darkness is emphasized, and as the night falls the forest comes alive
with the soft calls of nocturnal creatures.
An ominous atmosphere of silence steals through the lands as predators
rouse to the song of the night, the song of the night hunters.
But the still serenity of na
Altheios, give me strength and wisdom. Simon whispered as he knelt on the altar. He was in full battle uniform, Archbishop Arus Shuddare was being called to Capitol City, and of course Bethany would not allow her aging father to go such a long distance unattended. She would personally care for him.
Simon, they are ready. I'll see you outside. Martin said as he patted Simon's shoulder. Martin Rosenthal, the Captain of the Templar Knights. Many years can be seen on his brow, yet his stature still shows confidence and dignity of a battle hardened champion. Simon made one last prayer in silence before he picked up his hel

Above, the stars were slowly appearing, as the sky got darker by the minute. Below, the treetops swayed in the soft breeze. They were 50 feet in the air above a forest canopy, five of them, three to his left and one to his right. They were in strange armor from head to toe, with what seemed to be jetpacks attached to the backs. Two thrusters were extended from the back of the shoulders by flat arm rods. They were flying in a flying v formation. Each seemed very paranoid, including himself. He could feel a funny tingling sensation crawling up his spine.

Vehicle Design: F-01 Cyclone
F-01 CYCLONE
Type: Multi-role Air Superiority
Base Design: F-15E Strike Eagle, F-22 Raptor
Crew: 2 (Rear: Weapons System Operator)
Speed Class: Mach 2.24 ?
Base of Operations: Primarily Ground, Carrier-capable
Design:
Initially, I was to base the Cyclone from the VF-01 Valkyrie found in the Macross universe, this was because I essentially wanted an F-14 Tomcat-like aircraft.
However after a lot of thought and further research into fighter aircraft, I decided that the Cyclone would be an Air Superiority Aircraft capable of strike missions. I began looking into the current Air Superiority aircraft: F-15 Eagle, F-22 Raptor, F/A-18E/F Sup
THE WORLD OF ETHYR
World History
In the beginning, Ethyr had neither defined nations nor borders. It was filled with scattered tribes and settlements in various parts of its continent. Many of the richer settlements located at the center more arable lands of Ethyr were continuously harassed by raiders and brigands.
Finally a man who had lost everything, aroused the tribes with the ideology that united the tribes may be able to fight back and protect themselves more effectively. This gave birth to the first kingdom, Salvaria. Italiander, the man who united the tribes was crowned the first King of Salvaria and the kingdom prospered.
HORNED OWL
This story takes place in the Manila type setting, not exactly third world, but a whole mess of district zones. Too traffic to have a Batmobile and not enough tall buildings to swing around from. Although this story does not necessarily take place in the Philippines, my goal was to create a Pinoy created superhero that was not blatantly ripped off from iconic superheroes such as Superman and Wonderwoman. Yes, I am sure you know to what I am referring to.
The protagonist, named Gian Carlos (to be decided), is a young man trying to get his feet on the ground as he enters independence for the first time. Like most people in the city
Jien Forge
Salvaria secretly harbors a small army of "ninja" (or more to the likeness of Shinobi). This paramilitary organization has the primary role of maintaining an intelligence network of neighboring nations, but more directly, to monitor the morale and loyalty of Salvarians (much like the Russian/German Secret Police). Other than espionage, this organization also represents the "Black-Ops" of the Salvarian Army: assassination, morale warfare, psychological warfare, etc. Of course Salvarian rebels are familiar with this organization, but the bulk of the majority are not aware that such an "honorable" nation would maintain a very dark pa
CHAPTER 0: ANIMOSITY
Cauldwell, the largest settlement of Xenetia, found near the north-eastern border in the Markwood Region. Rarely, are there any conflicts within the confines of the city, rarely have the residents encountered any peril. But this day would be different, this day would forever be engraved into the memories of the inhabitants. For some, more than others.
"Fire!" cried a man with all his voice could muster, "Fire in the City!" Just a few trees away from the call, a Xenetian Ranger was jolted from his uneasy sleep, "A fire? But that's impossible," he thought to himself as he hastily dressed into his uniform. He rushe

PROS
Aesthetically, Chrome looks good. It has a smooth look and everything is neatly put away so that the window doean't look clogged at all. All the important buttons are on a single line above, and it even omits the Title bar instead positioning the Tabs at the top. I like that becasue I have a sort of OC thing about having a tidy screen.
It needs a little getting used to though, because Chrome tends to move away from conventional control mapping. Although essentially copying the control map form IE7, there are minor details that get in the way
