Personality

Leta is a highly intelligent, sarcastic, witty, and cold woman. She’s rather reserved and blunt, making people somewhat intimidated at first glance. She can also be quite playful and somewhat flirty when she wants to be too. Although a bit of a hot head, Leta is a much calmer person than her Ultimis counterpart, Ria. Leta is more of a slow boil to anger instead of it being instantaneous. Leta doesn’t take shit from anyone and will very much tell a person that straight to their face. Despite the somewhat harsh exterior, Leta is a deeply caring and loyal woman. And it shows through her actions. When she loves, she loves with her whole being. Leta will always ensure her friends and loved ones are okay, usually being a voice of reason and a person to go to for advice. Leta is also very perceptive.

Backstory

Leta is the illegitimate/bastard child of her mother (Rose) and father (Wayon). Wayon was a seasoned lawyer and owned a big farm. Rose was a young woman who worked as a sex worker and the fling with Wayon was supposed to be a one-time thing but an affair quickly blossomed between them. Rose was unaware that Wayon was a married man with two kids, finding out the truth when she shared the news of being pregnant with him.

Wayon wasn’t happy with the news, wanting her to get an abortion. But Rose insisted on keeping the child, at that point, she didn’t care about being with him but she knew she wanted to have this child and nothing was going to stop that. At her refusal, Wayon ended things with her and left Rose to raise the baby alone. When Leta was born, Rose wanted to provide her with the best life could. Making work as a seamstress and putting her life as a sex worker behind her. It wasn’t much, the money but Leta grew up humbled and appreciated everything her mother did for her. Rose would attempt to date but her number one priority was Leta and it stayed that way.

Unfortunately, Rose grew rather sick early in Leta’s life. Wanting to help her mother, Leta took it upon herself to learn how to sew, make clothes, and help her mother’s shop. She also took small jobs from the people in their town to put extra money on the table, to pay for the necessities and her mom’s medicine. It was all for naught though as Rose had succumbed to her illness, Leta waking up to find her mother dead next to her. Leta was only 6. Before she died, Rose had told her daughter who her father was. Even leaving a letter that should anything happen to her, Wayon would at least take his daughter in.

When Wayon got the news of Rose’s death and her wish for him to take his daughter in, he refused at first. Not wanting anything to do with his bastard child, it was his wife, Grace, taking sympathy for the 6-year-old, that convinced her husband to take her. And so he did, albeit grudgingly. Leta was both scared and somewhat excited to see who her father was and looked like. Even more excited at the fact she had an older sister and brother. She learned very quickly though that her father didn’t exactly care for her, not like how he cared for his other children. Her older brother “Red” was happy to have a little sister to care for and the two hit it off like two peas in a pod. The eldest child and her sister, Mercy was a different case. Mercy didn’t like Leta for the simple fact that she was the bastard child, a walking reminder of her father’s adultery. Leta and Mercy’s relationship was very strained and although the two would have moments where they got along, Mercy was mainly cold and somewhat emotionally abusive to Leta. Letting her know she was a bastard child and that their father never wanted her. It was very apparent who was the favored daughter and the black sheep daughter. Grace never held any contempt for Leta, it wasn’t the child’s fault her husband slept with another woman. She treated Leta like she was her own. Leta also made friends with a girl named Sofia and a boy named Bruno. Sofia’s mother, Isabella was the town's local doctor.

When Leta was 13, Grace died from an illness, Mercy was married and already out of the house, and “Red” was currently enlisting in the Marines. The whole family was there for the funeral, “Red” had to go back to base and Mercy just wanted to go back to her own home. Leta was left with Wayon who had a downwind spiral after his wife’s death, turning to alcohol to soothe his pain. He very quickly became abusive to Leta, physically and mentally. He would give her the lip and nose scar during a drunken rage of his and Leta would find refuge at Isa’s where she treated the wounds. Leta was far too scared to let anyone know of the abuse, instead learning how to avoid her father’s fits. There was one night, when Leta was 16 and her father attempted to molest her, so drunk that all he saw was Rose instead of Leta, and she fought back from his advances. She scratched his face up pretty badly and that led to another drunken rage where he slashed her left eye and whipped her back so badly, it was a miracle she didn’t die from blood loss. “Red” at the time was returning home for a bit and saw this play out. He beat Wayon to a bloody pulp before taking his baby sister and rushing her to Isa’s. Isa did the best she could, Leta would survive but with the addition of a scar on her left eye and multiple on her back to the ones on her lip and nose. “Red” would leave Leta in the guardianship of Isa as he had to return to base but he made sure to write letters to his sister and taught her how to shoot guns before he left. Leta would learn all things medical under the mentorship of Isa and would hang out with Sofia and Bruno when she had free time.

Two years later at 18, Leta heard news of her father dying of tuberculosis. The only feeling she felt was a sense of relief, not too upset at his death. During his funeral which she attended out of basic respect, she got back in touch with Mercy. Mercy was 28 and pregnant with her first child, the eldest sibling would share her regrets with her sister. Said she was sorry for how she treated Leta growing up, how she should’ve never blamed her for their father’s adultery, and that she should’ve been a better sister. Mercy was willing to start over with Leta and be the sister she should’ve been and Leta was happy to give Mercy that chance.

Unfortunately, a few months later, Mercy would die in childbirth and Leta’s niece, Chloe, was stillborn. Leta took her sister's and niece's deaths pretty hard. She would write to her brother-in-law, whom she met briefly at Grace’s funeral but was unable to hear back from him. It seemed though that life had it out for her when she turned 19 and learned of her brother’s death from a letter sent by her brother-in-law Sterling. Leta fell into a deep depression after the news, being the last of her family, she would self-harm but Sofia and Bruno would manage to stop her from doing anything too drastic. It didn’t help that she also faced even more scorn from her town, first, it was about her lack of legitimacy and now it was how she was death incarnate, bringing death to those around her, earning her the nickname La Muerte. It was at that time that she adopted the cold, reserved, and intimidating persona as a way to protect herself from any more hurt.

Sterling would visit Leta a few months after “Red’s” death to talk, Leta would humor her brother-in-law and Sterling offered her a position as a nurse in the Marines. He also said she can do work as a spy too. Leta was skeptical at first, asking Sterling why he would offer her that. Sterling would say that he knew Leta wasn’t your average woman and saw her potential, adding that “Red” had asked him to take care of Leta. The young Arkon thought about his offer, seeing a chance to prove not only her worth but her father wrong. Wayon always talked about how Leta was a disappointment of a woman, that she would never aspire to anything, that the only good thing she could do is be an obedient little housewife, and that she was simply an unwanted bastard.

She would join Sterling and, while she mainly worked as a nurse, would work some missions as a spy for Sterling when needed. Leta meets Dempsey after returning from a spy mission Sterling gave her, it was a brief interaction, but Dempsey was immediately taken in by Leta’s fierce attitude and her sass. Leta had to admit that she felt something when they first interacted, but she wouldn’t say it out loud. The second moment between them happened when she treated his wounds, the two conversing and smiling. It ended when they shared a kiss. Dempsey, however, knew Leta was scared to make anything official. He told her he’d be there for her whenever she was ready. Leta appreciated it. She was frightened as this was her first love, her first relationship, so she wanted to take things slow.

When she was 20, she lost Sterling as a casualty of war. The two of them were on a mission to retrieve letters that had information on the Germans. Sterling sacrificed himself so that Leta could get back safely. Leta would make it back with the letters, but she came back empty and nearly broken. She would’ve fallen into another pit of depression if it wasn’t for Tank. He comforted her and gifted her a heart-shaped locket. They decided at that moment to cement their relationship and make it official.

Two days after her 21st birthday, Leta and Dempsey were sent to Northern France on a mission to capture a member of group 935 as an H.V.T. 8 months later, they would form a team with Takeo Masaki and Nikolai Belinski. The 4 of them would join Richtofen on a journey to create a better tomorrow.

The New York Times: In Texas, a Black High School Student Is Suspended Over His Hair Length

Soon after starting his junior year last month at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, Texas, Darryl George was separated from his classmates because of the way he wears his hair, his mother and a lawyer said.

Since the term began on Aug. 16, Darryl, a 17-year-old Black student, has received multiple disciplinary notices that have culminated in more than a week of in-school suspension, where he sits on a stool in a cubicle and work is brought to him, according to his mother, Darresha George. Each morning, he is asked by officials at the school, about 30 miles east of Houston, whether he has cut his hair yet, she said.

He has not.

“He is actually getting singled out,” said Ms. George. “They are personally stopping him, ‘Did he cut his hair?’ Asking him at the door.”

Darryl has locs, or long ropelike strands of hair, that he pins on his head in a barrel roll, a protective style that reflects Black culture, Ms. George said. On Aug. 31, about two weeks after school started, school officials told her that his hair length, even though pinned, violated the dress code.

“I was told that every day Darryl comes to school, he would be put in in-school suspension because his hair has not been cut,” she said. “Even if pulled up in buns or neatly pulled back, because when let down it is below his earlobes and eyebrows.”

Supporters of the family, including legislators and activists, have called the suspension alarming, saying that it could test a new state law called the CROWN Act. The law, which Gov. Greg Abbott signed in May, says, in part, that any dress or grooming policy adopted by a school district “may not discriminate against a hair texture or protective hairstyle commonly or historically associated with race.” The law does not specifically mention hair length.

The Barbers Hill Independent School District’s dress code mandates that a male student’s hair “will not extend below the eyebrows, below the earlobes or below the top of a T-shirt collar.”

A district spokesman, David Bloom, said that the dress code and suspension were “not in conflict” with the CROWN Act because the code permits protective hairstyles, if the hair would not go beyond the permitted length when let down.

“The vast majority of hair code violation punishments — I.S.S. or more severe — have been handed down to white students,” Mr. Bloom said, using the acronym for in-school suspension, where, he said, students are kept in a classroom staffed by a teacher, and sit at desks separated by partitions so as not to disturb one another.

The school informed Ms. George of Darryl’s suspension just one day before the law took effect on Sept. 1, she said.

Even though the CROWN Act does not specifically mention hair length, Darryl’s supporters have said the district’s move violates the spirit of the law. Candice Matthews, a civil rights activist and vice chair of the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats, said that braids, locs and twists need to be long to protect the hair.

“It is a hairstyle that is cultural in nature,” she said.

At least 23 other states have adopted similar laws banning discrimination based on race-based hairstyles in the workplace and public schools.

On Sept. 8, the Texas Legislative Black Caucus sent a letter to the district superintendent, Greg Poole, and the school principal, Lance Murphy, urging the district to clear Darryl’s record and warning that the suspension could set a “dangerous precedent.”

“The school is arbitrarily coming up with something else, saying that it’s really not the hair, it’s the length,” said State Representative Ron Reynolds, a Democrat and chair of the caucus.

State Representative Rhetta Andrews Bowers, a Democrat and the primary author of the CROWN Act, said she was inspired by the Crown Coalition, which advocates adoption of the law in other states, and by DeAndre Arnold and Kaden Bradford, cousins who attended high school in the same district as Darryl and were suspended for the length of their dreadlocks in a case that garnered national attention.

“We anticipated that even with the passage of the legislation that there could possibly be incidents,” she said. “We knew that it was largely going to be education and awareness making people understand. We are still on that path.”

Darryl’s case is not the first to test the new law. In August, Katheryn Huerta, the mother of an elementary school student in Mabank, Texas, cited the CROWN Act when she was told that she would have to cut her son’s long hair. Ms. Huerta told WFAA-TV, a local ABC affiliate, that her district later relented, saying she could put her son’s hair in braids and a bun.

A lawyer for Ms. George, Allie Booker, said that Darryl had been given until the end of the week to comply with the school’s dress code or he could be placed in a disciplinary alternative learning program. Ms. Booker said she is considering legal action.

“We are not cutting his hair,” Ms. George said, “because that is part of his culture, that is his roots. It is like cutting off a part of him.”

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy on Friday, less than two months after a jury ordered him and the parent company of his Infowars website to pay nearly $1 billion for spreading lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting.

Jones filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors with the U.S. bankruptcy court in Houston, a court filing showed.

The filing said Jones has between $1 million and $10 million of assets and between $1 billion and $10 billion of liabilities. The extent of Jones' personal wealth is unclear.

A lawyer for Jones did not immediately return a request for comment.

Jones claimed for years that the 2012 killing of 20 students and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was staged with actors as part of a government plot to seize Americans’ guns. He has since acknowledged the shooting occurred.

In October, a Connecticut jury ordered Jones and Free Speech Systems, the parent company of Infowars, to pay nearly $1 billion in damages to numerous families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.

The trial was marked by weeks of anguished testimony from the families, who recounted how Jones’s lies about Sandy Hook compounded their grief.

Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy in July.

In a separate case in Texas, a jury in August decided Jones must pay the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Sandy Hook massacre $45.2 million in punitive damages, on top of $4.1 million in compensatory damages.

Jones's lawyers have said he would appeal both the Connecticut and Texas verdict.

An economist in the Texas case estimated that Jones is personally worth between $135 million and $270 million.

The court filing lists the plaintiffs who won verdicts against Jones as his largest unsecured creditors.

Among them are Robert Parker, father of six-year-old Emilie Parker, who was awarded $120 million by a Connecticut jury, and FBI agent William Aldenberg, who was among the first law enforcement officers on the scene of the 2012 shooting.

In addition to the $1 billion compensatory damages, Jones was ordered to pay $473 million in punitive damages in the Connecticut case.

Connecticut judge Barbara Bellis had temporarily blocked Jones from moving any personal assets out of the country at the request of the plaintiffs, who claimed Jones was trying to hide assets to avoid paying.

The Connecticut and Texas Sandy Hook plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The families have sued Jones in Texas state court seeking to unwind what they say are millions of dollars worth of illegitimate transfers from Jones’s company to shell entities he controls. They allege those transactions were intended to shield Jones’ assets from potential judgments.

— BASICS

Name: Genevieve Huệ Birch, M.D., aka Viva Age & Birthdate: 39, born November 27th, 1984 Gender, Pronouns & Sexuality: cis woman, she/her, lesbian Hometown: born in Sugar Land, TX but considers herself a naturalized New Yorker Affiliation: law enforcement, non-corrupt Job position: forensic pathologist with the NYPD Education: bachelor’s in psych and biology, medical doctorate specializing in forensic pathology Relationship status: widowed, in between hookups Children: One, estranged (see wanted connections) Positive traits: altruistic, witty, open-minded, competent, and principled Negative traits: cynical, self-righteous, fickle, cavalier, and brusque

— BIOGRAPHY

content warning: cancer and death of a loved one

the illegitimate child of a wealthy Houston lawyer, Mark Birch, and a Vietnamese immigrant he was having an affair with. Genevieve was adopted into the Birch family when she was a toddler, after Mark and his wife, Stephanie, had trouble getting pregnant

a few years later, Stephanie and Mark were able to conceive. Genevieve did not welcome having younger siblings–she feared that this meant she was replaceable.

natural intelligence plus a terror of failure caused her to overachieve in school, always on honor roll and in the most prestigious extra curriculars. if she wasn’t perfect she was nothing and Genevieve Birch refused to be nothing. this pattern of success eventually cemented her as her father’s favorite

she discovered she was a lesbian in 9th grade and immediately became “boy crazy” to compensate for this perceived flaw. this obviously did not make her straight but the perceived promiscuity was a source of tension with her family

she fell pregnant as a senior in high school. the father of the baby wanted her to marry him and she wanted to abort. Genevieve took the middle route and gave the baby up for adoption. this is one of her greatest regrets (and also a wanted connection!)

despite her GPA slipping during her pregnancy, Genevieve graduated on time and even made it into Rice for her undergrad. she got to know and accept herself once she was away from the stifling influence of her family, and started going by Viva

Viva met a woman named Heather Kędzierski and fell head over heels–allowed herself to fall head over heels. Heather felt the same way and the two quickly moved in together

the two had grand plans after the graduated–they were going to move to NYC, Heather was going to become a world-renowned sculptor and Viva would be a wealthy doctor.

the first was easy enough–Viva got accepted into NYU med school (but not Cornell or Columbia–Viva was as devastated by the situation as Heather was amused) Heather got a security job at an art gallery and soon started selling her pieces as well

it was a beautiful life. a charmed life. Viva was able to be her full, intense self and Heather was there to soften her edges. Heather could be as raw and vulnerable as she needed to and Viva would protect her

in 2011, a month after Viva started her residency as a cardiologist and a month before New York legalized gay marriage, Heather was diagnosed with cancer. it was fast moving, terminal. Viva dropped her residency and stayed home to nurse Heather full time.

when Heather passed, Viva was broken. she didn’t want to be a doctor anymore, not when there would be patients like Heather, patients who couldn’t be healed, only comforted. against almost everyone’s advice she switched her specialty to forensic pathology. can’t grieve for dying patients when they come to you dead already

Viva’s bullheadedness and cold ambition proved to be an asset when working with the NYPD. corruption may have been an unstoppable force but Viva was an immovable object, and she quickly gained a reputation as one of the most competent and trustworthy members of the forensics department

— WANTED CONNECTIONS / PLOTS

Returning to the Prodigal Mother: Viva’s long lost kid wants go get out of Texas and move to NYC, they end up on her couch Some Gangs Wear Badges: a criminal is murdered by the police and Viva is in charge of investigating the death. she reaches out to the criminal’s friends and confidantes for information/protection Friend-in Law: old friends of Heather–possibly working in the media–who are horrified by the fact that Viva’s working for the cops now You Can’t Corrupt Me: corrupt police or gang members who are trying to turn Viva to their side. she is Too Tired For Their Shit but they are persistent and a strange friendship has formed Can I Influence You?: someone working in politics or media that Viva is desperately trying to get on her side, either by being a whistleblower or helping them campaign against corruption and for decriminalization

also just general friends, drinking buddies, hookups, etc! if you have an idea, i want to hear it

#wb.intro #((did i go overboard on the bio? yes. do i know what to cut? absolutely not!))

Boy, 5, in critical condition after 8-year-old family friend shoots him with gun.

WAY TO GO TEXAS ONE WAY TO THIN THE HERD HUH LET'S HAVE SOME MORE BOYS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WITH GUNS. I HAVE AN IDEA LET'S HAVE THE NRA AND ALL YOU GOOD LOVING TONY PEOPLE PASS THE LAW THAT SAYS ANY BOY UNDER THE AGE OF 12 SHOULD BE ABLE TO OWN AN AK-47 AND USE IT WHEN NECESSARY. YEEHAW

A five-year-old boy remains in a critical condition in hospital after an eight-year-old family friend shot and wounded him.

Houston Police Department were called to a home in Houston Gardens at 12.30pm on Saturday after reports of a shooting.

The boy's dad took the eight-year-old to a hospital and he was later transported by helicopter to another - with his condition said to be critical, according to police.

Commander Jonathan Halliday revealed the older child, who was described as a family friend, had a gash on his head and was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution.

However, details surrounding his injuries have not been released.

Mr Halliday said: "When they arrived, they learned that a five-year-old had been shot one time reportedly by an eight-year-old."

Police confirmed three people are being held in connection with the shooting - but no charges have been brought.

The officer said: "We know that one adult was inside the house, but we're not sure the total number of people."

Mr Halliday said it was not clear how the older boy got his hands on the gun but revealed "they're all family friends".

There was at least one adult at home when the gunshot went off - with the police's department for major assaults investigating the shooting.

The shooting comes just weeks after a young boy allegedly shot dead his mother because she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset.

The 10-year-old suspect, from Milwaukee in the US state of Wisconsin, initially told police that the shooting was an accident.

However he later changed his story and said he intentionally aimed the gun at his mother, 44-year-old Quiana Mann, before pulling the trigger just before 7am on November 21.

The youngster has been charged an adult with first-degree reckless homicide due to Wisconsin law's which states kids as young as 10 must be charged as adults for serious crimes.

The child's lawyers are trying to have the case transferred to a juvenile court.

His lawyer, Angela Cunningham, described the case as "an absolute family tragedy".

The boy, who was described by family members as having mental health issues, is currently being held in juvenile detention.
