BIOGRAPHY,
GURU SADDLER XV is a bioweapons research chief & messiah figure who resides in the isolated autonomous community of Valdelobos. He is the 15th High Priest & FINAL leader of Los Illuminados, an ancient indigenous pagan cult & in modern day a terrorist organization, of whom its worshippers refer to him as the Prophet Saddler.The cult blindly worships Las Plagas as God, their goal to ultimately cleanse the world of sin, believing the ego & human nature of free-will to be inherently flawed, due in part to being enslaved by the very God they worship & becoming part of themselves. Assimilating the entire Earth, in which EVERYTHING would be connected harmonically under a singular hivemind & collective intelligence, slaves to Las Plagas' will by use of enthralling song & biological frequencies / networks incomprehensible to humans.The Saddler's are occupational as they were elected to "saddle" the burdens of the world & "saddle" their colony by means of domination ^{(hence, they solely have Dominant genes & / or species)}, possessing 'sapient-like' intelligence in comparison to their lesser, Subordinate brethren. The Chosen renamed themselves after various biblical figures or saints in order to imitate the worship of modern-day humans & preach in tongues that they can comprehend. Indigenous progeny to the isolated region are referred to as Valdelobiano / Valdelobense post Middle Ages / 15th Century by human beings, as their native language is untranslated to this day.As they have coexisted with Las Plagas for over 500 years, Los Iluminados has effectively created a subspecies of human mimic. Although they are regarded as mutants, they are mutants from birth, not purposely self-inflicted or as the result of an outbreak. Osmund Saddler & his remaining zealotry are the sole physical survivors of the 21st Century. Enduring not only a mass genocide, but enslavement & banishment by humanity. They are extremely vindictive & distrustful of the human species as a whole because of this, interacting with them sparingly or as a last resort.As genuine kindness is foreign to them, they regard all humans as potential threats or prey. Lord Saddler & the zealots are highly reserved, & they do not trust others lightly. Trust to them is earned through various trials & tribulations, it is never granted freely. Government sanctions & their status as a recognized people being made illegitimate as recent as 2012 contributes to their hatred.

AFFILIATIONS,
ANCIENT CULT / LOS ILUMINADOS
Hidden sect of ritualistic, sacrificial Paganism, believing Las Plagas to be ultimately divine in nature, reflecting the nature of the one true God, & the sole means of enlightenment & deliverance from suffering. ^{(Developer inspiration stems from Buddhism, Gnosticism, Hinduism, Islam, Oriental Christianity & Shintoism.)} They formally denounce all other forms of religion or divine figures outside of their own.BIOLOGY,
NATURE OF IMITATION
Being directly inspired by The Thing, his outward appearance & personality only mimics/imitates humanity as close as possible as a means of predation. His true "being" is hidden inside & expressed at will to assimilate, kill, feed, or reproduce.

MIXED CANON,

STATUS,
ALIVE - The last child of Adam, the culmination of Las Plagas & Homo Sapiens becoming inseparable in flesh, preaches the world of The Holy Body, blessing glorious communion for his zealous congregation. Lost lambs bear witness to The Shepherds wonders. Upon every crucifixion, he is doomed to return to the world in some form, either as infectious water, spores, calcified flesh, or taking upon a new host body. Osmund, upon death, inevitably is reborn, thus fulfilling their philosophy ; 'to die is to live'. He is likewise regarded as cursed on behalf of his birth.DISPOSITION,
PERSONALITY -
Lord Saddler has no personality or free-will of "his own", & is a Speaker for Las Plagas parasites. Essentially, the bioweapon is using Osmund's body & likeness from birth as a mouthpiece to communicate with man. With less than 1% human DNA in his genome to imitate Homo Sapiens outwardly in appearance & behavior - it has degraded to a point it is no longer 'passable' in modern everyday life.Ergo, Lord Saddler / Las Plagas is aptly named "The Devil" for they are dominating, tempting, indulging, as well as believing parasitic enslavement to be a form of liberation & freedom from earthly suffering. As such, they are devilishly charming, but their blessings ultimately lead to the corruption or death of a soul. Betrayers & heretics are brutally punished. Las Plagas expresses their degeneracy / lascivious inclinations unwarranted to outsiders, & is infamously known to be grossly sexual in nature in regards to assimilation.The Speaker's aura is mystical, & his demeanor is cryptic or seductive in regards to spreading "his" gifts. He is an unsettling character with an aspect of death, sickness & disease following in his wake. Humans are considered feeble, inherently sinful, comparable to livestock, & all are equally deserving of parasitic "salvation". Las Plagas is a firm believer that humans, co-hosting with them, is the sole way to true happiness, as well as the next step towards biological evolution.Lord Saddler, & Las Plagas by extension, have self-described autophobia / isolophobia & is not only utterly terrified of loneliness, but human individuality. They believe solitude to be the highest terror due in part to their eusociality. Las Plagas proclaims they embody all departed hosts that have embraced them, experiencing the phantoms & voices of dead martyrs; This places their psyche perpetually frozen in time beginning from the Neolithic age. This contributes to their ideologies of traditionalism & anachronisms. Due to their alternative biochemistry by birth & vast genetic mutations, they are very detached from human empathy & emotion, comparable more so to insects.OFFERINGS.
Live sacrifices ^{( animal / human )}, gold, jewels, gemstones, bones, flowers & fine crops.

RE4 CHRONOLOGY,
Pre-Iron Age. Surviving migrants from Africa & Eurasia ^{(descended from Kijuju)} worshipped Las Plagas freely in Iberia, but majorly disappeared due to unknown circumstances. Their implanted God self-desiccated in order to survive. Artifacts of their existence & ties to Progenitor scarcely remain.
Pre-1554. Adam Saddler, a far descendant of these ancient worshippers, found his faith deep beneath the old castle. Adam immediately reestablishes the worship of Las Plagas under the epithet Los Iluminados, in the period of Hispania. Adam 1st & his 13 apostles resurrect the long-lost parasitic God, & subsequently assimilate themselves. Henceforth, their children are 'cursed' & born as parasitically enslaved bioweapons, establishing a 'seedbed' in Spain for Las Plagas to flourish.
1741. Los Iluminados is banished to the barren island of Sanctuary after a brutal crusade led by Gregorio Salazar Ist. In the midst of The Spanish Inquisition, Hester Saddler VIII dies, including others.
Pre 1827. Hipolito Salazar earns the name "Demon-Sealer" after banishing / destroying a swarm of Los Ganados & Las Plagas which had escaped the underground caverns. Soon after, he dies after obtaining a parasitic infection.
1827. The remaining & future cult members survive upon Sanctuary by inhuman means, such as familial cannibalism. After many generational battles against The Salazar family, Keenan Saddler XI also dies.
1870's Osmund Saddler XV is born into banishment & battles tirelessly against the human opposition from a very young age. As his lineage is solely Subordinate & Dominant species carriers, he is regarded as an "imitation" genetically. This makes him highly adaptable to the parasite in all forms, as well as prone to spontaneous evolution, but not genuinely "human" in emotion or intelligence. As his last human ancestor was 14 generations ago, he has less than 1% human DNA in his genome.
Early 1900's Inevitably as an adult, he is captured as a war prisoner & crucified upon Catherine's Wheel for the crime of blasphemy, resurrecting from a shallow grave only days later. Upon his escape & resurrection, deemed a miracle by other Prophets, he is made the 15th & final Prophet of Los Iluminados.
1977. The Holy Book of Enlightenment is completed, therefore, Lord Saddler XV is the final Prophet. No further messages of God are needed for interpretation, the plan & judgment of humanity is noted in mortal words. Los Iluminados, under The Almighty's authority, decides upon a plan of global "ego death", to usher in a new age of total harmony.
Pre 1984. By an unknown Saddler, a Colmillos under the thrall of Las Plagas attacks, infects & indirectly kills the grandfather of Luis Serra-Navarro. This sends the young boy on his journey into the study of bioweapons, starting with Umbrella.
1984. Ramon Salazar is born, then soon assimilated by Lord Saddler XV to cure him of his deadly heritable condition. Welcomed out of exile & invited by Catalina Salazar, The 7th Countess.
Post 1984. Diego Salazar, The 7th Castellan is assassinated by Osmund Saddler. A coup that was devised with his own son, Ramon Salazar, heir to the throne.
1993. After Las Plagas is released from it's seal set into place by Hipolito, infection quickly spreads throughout Valdelobos once more. The village chief Bitores Mendez is corrupted into a judicial enforcer. Del Lago is awakened from it's several-hundred year long ritual induced hibernation. Child offerings become El Gigante.
Post 1993 / Pre 2002. Luis Serra-Navarro returns to Valdelobos & is recruited by Lord Saddler XV. European Branch Umbrella research & supplies is raided by unknown means.
2002. With the assistance of ex-US military Jack Krauser, Los Iluminados is firmly reestablished & plans to conquer the world. Research into The Amber / Dominant Species & development of The Superior Species + parasitic B.O.W.S. reaches it's culmination.
2004. Kidnapping of Ashley Graham, Daughter of The United States President. Ashley is held in Los Iluminados custody for a week or so before the arrival of Leon. S. Kennedy.VARIOUS ANALYSES.

INTERESTS / HOBBIES,
Recreational smoking, drug usage, manuscript lettering, illumination writing, historical reading, collecting artifacts & gemstones, weapon smithing & training, alchemy & elixir brewing, herbalism, faith healing & disease diagnosis.

BLESSINGS,
UNENDING BREATH. Osmund possesses vast aquatic traits in his DNA, & can breathe / habitate underwater, if he so chooses.
PARASITIC COMMUNION. Las Plagas hosts share the same flesh, blood, bones & thoughts. Host consciousness persists after death similarly to The Mold.
IMPLANTATION. Lord Saddler is capable of directly implanting vessels with eggs of Las Plagas.
TRADITIONAL COMBAT. Is familiar in various types of medieval weaponry, however, Osmund canonically exhibits knowledge in two types of martial art: Judo & Muay Boran. Continuing, he is mastered as a stick monk, utilizing a deadly shakujo pewter staff.
DURABILITY. Body is described as near indestructible & having an exhausting unwillingness to die. A specially built explosive warhead is the only weapon capable of perforating his flesh.
REGENERATION. Lord Saddler is capable of regeneration as long as fragments of the parasite & host remain, length of time depends upon the severity of the injury & may take decades / centuries. Osmund can also revitalize himself off other bodies, replacing damaged cells.
PRAISES. Vocalizations are capable of incapacitating / deafening / killing animals & human beings due to the high frequency.
INCANTATION. One of the most remarkable abilities of Las Plagas, he is capable of entering long periods of hibernation, slowing his aging to a halt while in suspended animation.
HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER. Every host Osmund infects / consumes, part of their genetic material is assimilated into his own biology, subtly evolving him.
MISCELLANEOUS. Blood is moderately corrosive. Body produces spores which are infectious. All cells / fluids / wastes are potentially infectious. Capable of administering venom by bite or needle akin to reptiles / parasitoids.

SIGNS & WONDERS,
BLIGHT BREATH. Used as a long range projectile, capable of melting flesh from bone. The same is regularly fed to Los Ganados or humans to initiate them, as it possesses mutagenic qualities when diluted with a natural base or water.
CELLULAR MUTATIONS. Body is capable of morphing back & forth at will to the extremes. Including, but not limited too; Many eyes, Tentacle grapples / whips / flails, Spidery arms / limbs, Horns, Needle-like tails / appendages, & growing up to 100m ^(300ft) in mass if sacrificing his flesh to inevitably become reborn as a God everlasting / eternal.
BULLET REFLECTION. Gunfire or swallowed non-organic matter is capable of being ejected out from his body ; EX: turning his hands into 'automatic turrets'.
SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH. Is capable of shattering bone & rending bodies with his bare hands. Can forcibly break stone & metal with his mutations.
SUPERHUMAN AGILITY / REFLEXES / SPEED. Can jump very far distances, parry handheld weapons, & slither so quickly it gives the illusion of flight / hovering,
MIND CONTROL. Lord Saddler has mental domination over every parasitic host upon Earth ^{(Including Superior Strains)}, to the point of bodily acts of possession, hallucinations, involuntary mutations & summoning mass swarms.
RESURRECTION. Noted in BIO4 KAITAI, Dominant / Master Las Plagas strains are capable of resurrection. Also found explicitly noted in beta files of RE4 ( 2005 ). This is not an instantaneous process & requires bodily sacrifices as offerings, so he can reconstruct his body.
AUDIBLE MIMICRY. Osmund Saddler can canonically emit noises that sound like bell chimes or whistles, due to a special vocalization organ only Las Plagas possesses. Likewise, he can also make sounds similar to bats, snakes, or lizards.

WEAKNESSES,
SOLITUDE.
Osmund is terrified of physical isolation & will undergo ritual suicide. Mental isolation is incomprehensible & horrifies him.
UV RADIATION MACHINE LASERS.
Temporarily blinds, immobilizes, or destroys on a cellular level, depending upon intensity.
UVB RAY POISONING.
In the presence of sunlight, he cannot use any of his parasitic mutations. If disrobed, he will blister & boil upon his entire body, which hampers his regeneration, weakening him substantially.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION POISONING & ZOMBIE JAMMERS
Electromagnetic radiation nulls his biological senses from perceiving humans / other mutants among infected. Dosages emitted from X-Rays, lingering Radioactive Waste, Demon-Cores's, Etc. is considered a type of poison which will make him ill, or die from prolonged exposure.
METAL / ORGANOCHLORIDE POISONING. He is susceptible to lead & pesticides, & in high concentrations, will cause an array of health symptoms, or falling deathly ill, such as : seizures, paralysis, bleeding, choking, or inhibiting his regeneration / growth.
COLD TEMPERATURES / FREEZING.
He is cold-blooded & susceptible to freezing temperatures, which makes his exoskeleton brittle, or puts him to sleep. However, he cannot be completely frozen, as his body can create anti-freeze as a countermeasure. Osmund is substantially weakened in the cold & avoids cold climates when possible.
SOUND / LIGHT FREQUENCIES.
Being able to perceive frequencies that humans cannot, certain frequencies can be extremely painful & disorienting, the same principle as using a training dog whistle or hypnotizing electromagnetic spectrums. However, this comes at a cost, as some frequencies can make him stronger / more aggressive.
OVERWHELMING HIS REGENERATION LIMIT.
The most commonly used method, but not recommended, as he is one of the most durable & powerful antagonists in the franchise to date.

I follow back once I have read your pages. Following your roleplay blog(s) means I consent interacting with you. I break mutuals by soft-blocking, but my usual reasonings for permanent hard-blocking is HERE IN THE DISCLAIMER unless we had a severe falling out. Accounts that have not posted for 1 year or that are archived are soft-blocked. Writers that continuously blog-hop/deactivate or change their alias will not be followed back. If I continuously approach for interactions & many attempts are ignored, I will presume you do not want to interact & will break mutuals. This account is not follow for follow.

No exceptions whatsoever. In regards to my blog being inaccessible ; Out of civility, I will hard block if you hard block me first, as to respect your boundary. This includes if you remake under the same URL or I see other blogs of yours in passing. The onus is on you to block-evade if you wish to interact after that point. About the Resident Evil RPC ; I'm highly critical of it & have no patience for certain behaviors I've seen throughout the years, such as writers purposefully ignoring Japanese aspects / localizations of canon yet referring to themselves as "canon-compliant". Further information is posted on my DISCLAIMER, as well as my DYNAMICS page.

TENET ⁽⁸⁾ : CONFLICTS WITH ROLEPLAYING MUTUALS // ⁽¹⁾ Do not involve me in issues pertaining to our mutuals in the RE RPC unless they are being malicious on purpose, dangerous, or committing a crime. I may interact with mutuals that you don't like OR block mutuals that you interact with. Your mutuals =/= My mutuals. I am under no obligation to roleplay or interact with anyone, including your friends. ⁽²⁾ I abide by a mutuals user DNI on a case-by-case/personal judgment basis. I do not trust callouts against others unless I have personal experience & it is repeated behavior, or there is unequivocal evidence. ⁽³⁾ I'm too old to argue about fictional characters or content. I do not identify either as Proship or Antiship. My personal stances are clear on my disclaimer. Leave me be if you disagree & it's a major problem for you. ⁽⁴⁾ If you're always stirring the pot or being in the center of drama ^{(which includes fictional characters & content)}, I'm unfollowing or hard-blocking.

However, the standard of no OOC cyber-bullying/bigotry/xenophobia/prejudice applies, & I do not tolerate any exceptions to this rule, unless it was an honest mistake made in ignorance/misinformation. I operate by a three-strike rule when it comes to disputes between writers. I only break mutuals & hard-block before then in extreme circumstances. If you have a legitimate concern or that a hard-block may have been done in error, you may block evade to contact me & ask.TENET ⁽¹¹⁾ : MEDICAL // ⁽¹⁾ I am a chronic mentally disabled & occasionally physically disabled individual.

CONNECTIONS TO RESIDENT EVIL 5.
NDIPAYAN COLLAPSE / ENEMIES OF PROGENITOR. As RE4, RE5 & RE4R are all canonical to the universe, my blog follows the lore established in RE4 that Las Plagas has a collective intelligence & in RE5 that Las Plagas origins & worshippers stem from Kijuju, West Africa. Depicted upon Ndipayan murals, Las Plagas was the downfall of The God-King civilization, with their biological opposition being Progenitor Virus carriers, which attempted to control / enslave the parasites. These stories were evidently retained thousands of years later by ancient cultists, as Los Iluminados incorporated Sunflowers / Sonnentreppe into their own illumination. As such, Osmund is naturally hostile towards carriers of this virus, such as Albert Wesker.
OLD CASTLE, PRE 15th CENTURY. When Los Iluminados was initially founded, a mass civilization was rediscovered ^{(& continued)} underground, as followers of the parasite consider the depths sacred. The 'old castle' is explicitly mentioned in the Japanese Localization of RE4R: '初代  グレゴリオ  征討伯 手勢を率い、古城にはびこる悪魔達を掃滅。勲功を認められ伯爵位を賜る。以後代々、島に封じた悪魔の監視を任とする。' & the remnants lay beneath Salazar Fortress. As there is nothing officially stated in canon, my portrayal establishes that Adam's ancestors were surviving descendants of Ndipayan migrants, which were the first humans to settle north in Iberia, thus fulfilling their status as indigenous. This also supports them adorning & using Adinkra, found in Ghana, West Africa.
WATER OF THE CURSED. Living underground, in mountainous caves, or alongside the ocean, enduring starvation & evading sunlight for hundreds of years, the zealous began to mutate due to their parasitic gene expression & evolutionary adaptability. Becoming sickly pale with partial hair loss, their bodies remained hidden from the hazardous sun by long, dark robes. As of RE4R, Ganados can reproduce amongst each other or with humans, establishing a new subspecies of pure / hybrid mutants. Nothing has been established that they are sterile or disinterested in sex, but they likely suffer from infertility.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS.
XENOPHOBIA & RACISM. Osmund Saddler IS NOT written as xenophobic or racist towards outsiders. This was never intended in the script, & fandom largely takes his "Anti-American" sentiments, which is solely against the government institution & their agents, grossly out of context. They solely express forms of Speciesism & Misanthropy towards humanity as a whole, but it is not absolute. This is fictional & not xenophobia / racism.
FAITH. Lord Saddler has ALWAYS been a legitimate believer of his faith. He is not a false prophet, nor is he a con-man / scammer using religion as a front to fund bioweapon research. Yōsuke Yamagata & Shinji Mikami designed the character with the intent of him being a guru / spiritual teacher since his debut in 2005.
EXTRATERRESTRIAL RELATIONS. Los Iluminados desires universal assimilation & that their conquest does not end with Earth, as described in their very holy book: '我らの祈りは  殖え続け. 地上を隙なく満たすだろう 我らはどこまでも広がり. ついには  星の海をも超えるだろう.' This suggests Las Plagas may have goals to reach the cosmos or to infect beyond our planetary body, once Earth has become wholly harmonic.
REMAKE DEPICTION.
RELATIONS TO INSECTS. My portrayal of Lord Saddler leans more towards the remake iteration, thus, he worships ALL species of insect, & will not use disparaging terms towards them in reference to humans. Osmund considers insects his arthropodal brethren, if not his children, & that they are superior to the human species. He will not take kindly to indiscriminate hatred / slaughter towards insects or similar creatures.
MASS EGO DEATH & ASSIMILATION. Osmund is motivated by vengeance & eusocial instincts to establish an "insect-like" caste system. He does NOT wish to exterminate all life, to selectively eliminate / sterilize the human race (otherwise known as eugenics), or to forcibly impose his cult religion on a global scale. Their goal always has been to destroy the ego & free-will of humanity, ushering the world in a stagnant place of peace, dubbed "Paradise", via mind control. Although their vision of Paradise is horrifically morbid, it is because they lack shame & distinction of right vs. wrong. They canonically do not possess human reasoning!

STRATCOM MISSION 2004 : This verse takes place during the events of Resident Evil 4, in 2004. Scenarios may be slightly changed to adjust for threads, such as additional in-person interactions or alternative endings.STRATCOM MISSION FAILURE 2004 : Similar to the former, this verse is for writers who prefer bad endings for the titular characters of the entry ( Leon, Ashley, Luis, Ada or Albert ) or OC's, taking place in 2004. Bad endings do not necessarily mean permanent infection, if you have an inclination to portray a muses defeat or death.POST KIJUJU INCIDENT 2009: As Lord Saddler is virtually immortal & is capable of regenerating from life threatening wounds ^{( such as Albert Wesker, Lisa Trevor, Nemesis T-Type, G-Birkin & Mother Miranda )}, I depict in this verse that his bodily sacrifice ultimately ended with his eventual rebirth in 2009, when his consciousness & physical form was finally regained. Although Los Iluminados did not fully recover in power until 2012-2013, The Era of Umbrella Corps, Osmund thirsts for revenge, seeking power however he can. As a Dominant host, he allied himself with the surviving populace of Kijuju now afflicted with Type-2 / Type-3 Las Plagas, & these residents are considered under his protection.UMBRELLA CORPS ERA 2012 / POST EDONIAN CIVIL WAR: Experiments are conducted by none other than a clone or doppleganger of Albert Wesker. Survivors in Valdelobos are hunted by Umbrella mercenaries for DNA samples / weapons testing between May & June 2012. By this time, Las Plagas has mutated to become immune to sunlight ^{( among other mutations )}, thus Lord Saddler steadily grew in power since his resurrection. Although there is a quarantine order in Valdelobos, refugees returning home are regularly infected or sacrificed. No longer blinded by the sun, he is capable of traveling globally during any time of day & not hindered by UV radiation.UMBRELLA CORPS ERA 2013 : A clone or doppelganger of Albert Wesker, after his month long attack upon Valdelobos, was tracked to Kijuju, then a rebuilt Raccoon City, & other quarantine locations, until his track went cold in Antarctica. Lord Saddler continuously looks for information pertaining to the "legendary executive" to find his base of operations in Antarctica.

VENDETTA 2014 : As the world was burdened with the Edonian Civil War, Los Iluminados allied itself with terrorists globally to spread the wonders of Las Plagas, in any shape or form, most infamously with Glenn Arias. Lord Saddler in this verse is normally encountered within Valdelobos, but may raid or peacefully call on alternative locations to seek biological / scientific resources. During this same period, Los Iluminados had informants in contact with The Family, which orchestrated a car-bombing resulting in large loss of life, Leon Kennedy nearly a victim himself.SURVIVORS 2014 - POST 2015 : Lord Saddler's direct or indirect involvement is centered upon 4, 5, Umbrella Corps & Vendetta. Any entries occurring outside of the ones listed do not have an applicable verse, but may be available upon request. Any threads that take place within the timeline & location of Damnation, 6, 7 or 8 which heavily alter canon is contained to it's own "universe". Threads that take place beyond the scope of RE's timeline ^{( post RE8 / 2021 )} are also contained to it's own universe. Post 2015 & according to The Death Island concept artbook, Las Plagas is completely removed from the BOW market as they are deemed 'uncontrollable, self-thinking organisms', alongside Nemesis NE-Alpha. Every quarantine zone in the past has become inhospitable & beyond saving.LOS ILUMINADOS RESURGANCE PRIOR 2003 : Any plots that occur before STRATCOM MISSION will need to be discussed 1-on-1 privately. However, the writer is highly seeking slice-of-life interactions with research staff ^{( such as Luis Serra-Navarro )}, congregation members ^{( Bitores Mendez & Ramon Salazar )} or paramilitary ^{( Jack Krauser )}. Applicable OC's are included in this. Los Iluminados assaulting / visiting various locations across the globe is also a desired possibility.OTHER / NOT LISTED. : Any verses that take place within the Resident Evil franchise that do not fit within the former categories, please contact me privately to discuss 1-on-1 what you have in mind!SAFE HAVEN. : Involves my private roleplay server on Discord. Unless you are a current member of this server, you cannot write this modern chronological AU with me.
