Bar-o'-Shrimp

*Bar-o'-Shrimp* is a protein-rich snack produced by QTF Inc. and is found in most markets in the "sports, energy, and supplements" aisle.

## Composition

The basic type of Bar-o'-Shrimp is composed of 90% small crustacean parts (not necessarily actual shrimps), as well as various seeds (4%) salt, glutamate and various preservants and supplements (1%).

The orangish colour of the exterior coating is derived from crustacean chitin, which is thought to be important for the health of the digestive system and thought to have antioxidant properties. The "filling" is almost entirely composed of crustacean flesh and viscera (including eyes and other organs); it is enriched with seeds, mostly chia, sunflower and dragonfruit.

It is enriched with vitamins (A,D,E,C,K) and various untested chemicals because controlled trials are expensive.

**Taste**

Many people found that the bar had a very 'seafoody' taste, which is obvious because it is made from crustaceans mostly found in the sea.

## Controversies

* In 1998, 2 unconfirmed reports of Flopstanince-213 contamination in the bars were leaked by a hacker group on the internet. This was labeled by the media as a conspiracy theory, citing that no incidents with Flopastanince-213 had occurred and that the production factory was well away from the nearest center of Flopstanince-213 contamination.
* People are, to this day, extremely upset that no choco version of the bars exists.
The IMTI

The Institution of Magic and Technology Integration, is a large player in the magic scene of Wisteria. Widely considered the first organization to create magical technology (although this is probably untrue). They play an integral part in keeping wisteria together, they created the elemental based electrical system that the entirety of Wisteria uses and were key to rebuilding Upper Wisteria. Their building is state of the art, and they have all you could possibly need, spirits roam the grounds, but they are slightly off. They don’t talk and instead simply wander with a blank look in their eyes.

But never mind that, the IMTI has a questing system for aspiring Magicians, they will give you a quest to do, usually to find an ancient artefact for payment they will give a magician one of their cool inventions!
Belief

Belief and emotion hold power of their own, that can be manipulated by conning magicians. Ways to do so are listed here.

**Cultism**

* Amassing power via the worship of many others,  primarily humans. Often gains access to their strength, magic, or life forces. This practice is very hard to get right.
* Cultism is solely dependent on worshipers, followers, acolytes, what have you. More worshipers equals more power, and more power equals a stronger Cult-God.
* Worshipers usually agree to give up a part of themselves, magically, to support the Cult-God. Continuous support and giving of power is what allows a person to elevate from regular magicians to an immortal, powerful Cult-God.
* If a Cult-God loses his followers, or they stop worshiping, or even falter, the Cult-God’s power will diminish.

**Fear Mongering**

*Fear Mongering is the practice of using fear of others as power for magic. Often losing humanity and becoming a boogeyman in the process.*

* Emotions carry their own, usually very weak, magic, fear is by *far* the strongest emotion when it comes to magic. The other emotions are barely detectable when it comes to magic
* Fear mongering can be a valuable asset to any magician who isn’t worried about the ethical repercussions of their actions, or one that isn’t worried about becoming a boogeyman.
* Ghouls are especially useful when starting off fear mongering, but once a magician has started gaining the power of fear, they won’t need pacts to frighten people. Fear can only be gotten from sentient life  by instilling true fear in someone, the spirits see this and in a similar fashion to karma, your reputation changes to a more fearful one. Even if spirits weren’t around to see the scaring, they will just instinctively know. It is unknown among magicians why this gives one power.
* Just a couple of occasions this won’t do much of anything, but if done enough, then your “fearful” reputation will begin to physically alter your body and make you a somewhat hybrid of human and spirit, a boogeyman. If one is careful they can ride the line between boogeyman and human for all the benefits of being a boogeyman, without forsaking humanity. The only thing that can bring down one’s reputation is time, as time goes on, if one does not continue scaring people, their reputation will go down
Aaron Carson

*"This day, my brothers and sisters, we watched as the avatars of evil flew into our homeland for some secret purpose that we are not privy to. What are they looking for, I wonder? To steal what should rightfully be ours? A gift from God to those who are faithful, guarded y millions of his followers?"*

Aaron Carson's extreme religious beliefs took his mental instability over the edge during the Zulu Alpha. He was the one behind the insurrection on the USS JFK and it's inevitable collision to the coastline.

## Biography

### Zulu Alpha

Weeks after the quarantine procedures were implemented on the JFK, he found Brian Marlin in the lower decks. Last quarantine he went through, he almost lost his mind, and wanting to avoid that situation again he kept his discovery to himself. Days turned into weeks and he was sure to be; at least, court marshaled. So he left Zulu Brian in storeroom 34.

With his obsession with the Zulu down in the lower decks, in combination with his religious background; his perception of reality was slipping. He kept asking the chaplain questions about zombies and the religious theories he was coming up with. Soon paranoia started setting in, and he ended up murdering the ships only qualified chaplain, and eventually volunteered to take up the service.

His energy and charisma brought in more and more followers until it neared a hundred.

### Death

Unaware of the mutation of the virus, Aaron Carson intended to use Zulu Brian "God's Cleaners" to help take down the USS JFK. What he didn't realize, was that Zulu Brian had mutated into a Foxtrot Nightmare. So instead of slowly stumbling into the berthing compartment he had intended. Zulu Brian almost rips off a wrist of one zealot, scratches the other and bites the neck Aaron.

### Zulu-Fied

Zulu Aaron finds Corey Westrow in the potato fields in the hangar deck of the JFK, Aaron attacks him and Corey fights him off until he slips and hits his head unconscious. That's when Zulu Aaron bites his arm and moves on to another victim.

## Personality

Strict religious upbringing made him more introverted.

Bingustani National Mansion

## Description

Located in Sphynxopolis, Bingustan 20 kilometers from the main square. Surrounded by trees in the garden. It has 20 rooms. 8 of them are offices, 1 is the bedroom, 5 are multiple other-need rooms (bathrooms, toilets, living rooms etc.) and the other 9 are unknown rooms. The Mansion now effectively works as a government building for the democratic government.

## 2029 Effects

While 2029 revolution was going on, the protestors broke in by breaking the lock, making the gates unable to be locked. After the establishment of the Republic of Bingustan the Mansion underwent a change in purpose and layout so that politicans could work in it.
Pseudo Spirits

*Spirits which are created by magicians, usually to serve them. More detail can be found in* On the Manufacturing of Pseudo-Spirits*.*

Pseudo-spirits by default serve their creator. On the rare occasion that they are bound by another magician, those with the necessary intelligence (ie. ur-djinn, halos, marks, and simulacra) may be bargained with forcefully. Note that they will find a way to return to their creator’s service if at all possible.

### **Ur-Djinn**

* Constructed from a collection of djinn bound together, much like a lare.
* More extreme in both strengths and weaknesses than regular djinn of the same type.
* Grows less stable as it grows more powerful, with the potential to spontaneously explode back into its component djinn.

### **Halos**

* Constructed from the leftover essence of a spirit of purity, filled with a different type of spirit and power dumped into it.
* Distinct from their progenitor spirits, but with associated abilities.
* Complexity of the creation process increases as the base spirit’s power gets larger (a sprite-based halo is much easier to create than a seraph-based halo).

### **Marks**

* Constructed from the leftover essence of a hellion spirit, but otherwise an identical process to the creation of a halo.
* Generally less cooperative and more aggressive unless you already possess relatively low karma.

### **Hollow Men**

* Constructed from natural materials filled with djinn to animate them.
* Require regular infusions of more djinn to sustain themselves, but possess minor magical abilities contingent on the djinn fuelling them.
* Unnaturally durable thanks to the djinn that are housed within them.
* The destruction of a hollow man releases the held djinn explosively.

### **Gargoyles**

* Similar to hollow men, but require rigid materials and with more freedom of form.
* Capable of flight and other moderate elemental abilities contingent on the djinn fuelling them.
* Require infusions more often than hollow men.
* No more durable than their base materials.

### **Golems**

* Similar to hollow men, but require earthen materials.
* Animated not by djinn but by a magically empowered slip of paper inserted into their heads.
* Act as magical ‘drones’ following the instructions on the paper, with better versatility the closer the written language is to the Adamic Language. Ancient hebrew is the next best thing.

### **Banes**

* Constructed from dead materials such as bone or entrails.
* Must be infused with the element of death, such as by ghosts, djinn of rot, or the last breath of a dying man.
* A follow-up direct infusion of power awakens the bane.
* Extremely durable. Magic resistant.
* Susceptible to elements of life or nature, like recently-dead material or purifying fire.

### **Simulacra**

* Constructed from raw spirit matter taken from spirits combined with a copy of something or someone’s mind.
* Capable of esoteric movement and invulnerable to ‘real’ methods of harm such as gunfire or blades.
* Extremely susceptible to magic.
* Decay slowly over time, requiring regular repair to avoid dissolving and detonating like a normal spirit.
"I Love My Bingus"

"I Love My Bingus" is a quote used by Bingus supporters usually during protests. It was spawned from a statement by Bingus. The full quote is:

**"So, rapper Big Floppa has released some harmful info about me in his album "Flop Fo No Hoe," and I'd like to address the accusations. You see, he insulted me and my followers. Clearly this is an attack on my personal brand, and he clearly does not love his Bingus. Do you love your Bingus? I thought so. Hell, I love my Bingus too, actually."**

Most famously, it was used in the 2028 Flop House Riot as a chant by pro-bingus supporters.
Addison and Chambers

*"It came from nowhere," repeated Addison, obviously on the verge of tears. "It was so fast. I didn't even see it. All I knew was the pain in my arm. Oh God, it's not a bite is it?"*

Addison and Chambers worked for the UK Security Services at the Channel Tunnel in Fowlkestone.

## Biography

### Zulu Alpha

Both youths are security guards and work for Andrew Wesley. Working night shift they are ordered to walk the perimeter of the Channel Tunnel.

## Personality

Always talked about super heroes, aliens, conspiracy theories

## Death

Addison and Chambers were doing their perimeter check when a Foxtrot November came out of no where and scratched both of them and ran off into the distance. Andrew Wesley finds them shortly later and they are both scratched, with no bites. As Wesley brings the youths back towards the office, they end up turning by the time they get to their final destination. Addison and ripped Chambers' neck straight out. They both were put down permanently by Wesley and a shotgun.
Cheemsrabia

Cheemsrabia, a Cavern in the deep inner layers of Flerth, is a place that can only be accessed by going through Cheems Gate. And many people that go through sadly never get out. by the way, Cheems is the god and owner of this place.

## Cheemsrabia

Cheemsrabia, as viewed from the POV of someone that discovered The Cheems Gate

### Rough estimate of how long it's existed

Around the same time that Flerth was around

## History of 'The Gate'

Cheemsrabia was originally found by Harding Glopnar at the age of 10, the gate for it looked very scary, so fortunately he did not go through. Much later in 2001, Lemonad found it again and decided to go through, after around 5 hours of travelling he found the gate once again and went back to the surface, unfortunately he forgot to close it, and now Cheem Lobsters roam the surface and are served at 100 flops as exotic food, rendering they're lively status as 'Endangered'. Only 5 years later Justin would go through the gate, and unlike the previous gate finders, they would pay the ultimate price by having the gate close on him right after going through...

## New life theory

There is a theory that goes around stating that if you stay in the realm for long enough, you yourself will evolve into a Cheem, assuming that you try to survive off of the plants and food that circulate around Cheemsrabia. This theory has not been proven yet, due to no real evidence being shown, it is still a possibility on the other hand.

## Accessing Cheems Gate

It is said that the portal that goes to Cheemsrabia is hidden in an unknown cave, and is theorized that Cheem Lobsters are powerful enough to cross the gate without any restrictions. It is said that you can go in and out of Cheems Gate because the portal that allows you to open and closes every 10 hours, allowing tourists to get some pretty good views of the place.

REALMS

Magical pockets of space that exist alongside the normal realm of humans. Often not too disconnected from the real world, merely imitating a certain pre-existing location and just meeting certain prerequisites for travel to these places, such as traveling for a full 24 hours in one direction, arriving at the realm after the day is up, or performing a ritual. Many unmarked men find themselves inducted into the magical world by finding themselves in realms. These realms are generally rich with spirits and very small, the biggest being around the size of a small forest, only spirits can create these.

LIST OF KNOWN REALMS

***Spirit Well*** -

Fickisms

“Stick a dick in your ear, and fuck what you heard. Over.”

They were in a genuine emergency. And the men needed him panicking like they needed magic marker dicks drawn on their faces.

“Hey! I’m still fuckin’ this monkey. She’s just here to take pictures.”

Ever since Master Gunnery Sergeant Fick came blitzing out of nowhere in ARISEN, Book Four - Maximum Violence, he has emerged as the closest thing to a consensus fan favorite character for the series. He is best known and most beloved for his ribald, profane, merciless, and generally hilarious insults, quips, and bon mots, which are so characteristic that readers have affectionately dubbed them: Fickisms. Now, in response to popular demand, and collected here for the first time, are all the very best tidbits of Fick's wit and wisdom, from all fourteen main series books.

And thrown in as an extra special bonus, you can also enjoy the most priceless lines from both Predator, and Aliyev the Kazakh.

All initial proceeds from the sale of this book will go to benefit the Marine Raider Foundation.

Wit. Wisdom. And Magic Marker Dicks.

Bath Spankings Brother

Bath Spankings Brother, also known as Spankinson Breakinson, is most known for his common Brotherlyhood towards Bath spanking, and his multiple War Crimes against Flopmanity is a Floppa that lives in The United Flops of America. He is 15 years old and as of the "incident" he hasn't aged once.

```
(For count, he has did only a few war crimes,5 or 3 or etc.)

```

## Spankinson Breakinson

### Aliases

gamingbrother25, Brother Spanking, Spanking Brother

### Relatives

* Floppa (Species)
* Bath spanking

## War Crimes

After his younger brother was taken in by The FCP Foundation, he swore to take matters into his own hands and fend off all the FCP Guards that are coming after him, thus this being an endless chase of trying to get him into the FCP Foundation's grubby little hands. The reason he does this is because his brother can Telepathically Communicate with him, telling him that he should NOT go into The Foundation with him, describing it as "Dusty and Rusty af". With his powers he can do all sorts of things, regenerate his own Bathtub Car with a click of a button, crank up his Bathtub Car's speed, going up to 300 MPH, and turning his tub fast enough to knock a car into orbit. He has bombed his own country in the process of these chases, thus bringing The United Flops Defense Force after him.

## Time with his Brother

While he had to time to bond with his Brother, he was described as a really good Brother, and was sort of a leader towards his younger bro. Until that all changed when he turned 15, where his 10 year old brother would be bullied at school, and would use his unknown powers to send the bully into his "Shadow Realm". A little bit afterwards one of The Teachers would call The FCP Foundation to take his brother in. Heartbroken by this Bath Spankings Brother swore to avenge his captured brother, which he is still doing to this day.

Command Sergeant Major Shane Handon is ALPHA teams First Sergeant who leads ALPHA into the most dangerous situations for the sliver of a hope for all of humanity.

## Biography

### Before the Zulu Alpha

Shane Handon and Pope were part of a special mission unit in the middle east, during the terror wars. Mostly support, intel and task force. They were almost out every night on capture-or-kill missions. One night they were sent to a town that Handon was skeptical about having any viable information. One thing led to another, and they ended up in a firefight and they ended up killing everyone in the building. Handon always had an unwavering view on the enemy; no humanity behind the face, just an enemy, and nothing else. Handon went against orders and talked to some of the grieving mothers and family members. This had caused a crack in Handon's view on the conditioning he worked himself into.

### During the Fall

Handon was just coming back from the aborted North Korea mission and was on the phone with Bragg for a status update, with gunshots in the background he was told that the 101st Airborne was being mobilized to secure the borders.

Bingustavo Fring

"*Welcome to my empire, Gates. Here, you can do basically anything you want! But all of that is at a cost. Would you accept?*"
—**Bingustavo Fring to Grotesque Floppa**
**Bingustavo Fring** was a Flopxican drug boss, businessman, and restaurateur who was known for his drug empire distributing Floppa Gas, Flopium, Fofaine, and Flopstanince-213 in New Flopxico, mostly in Floppuquerque, where he also owned a fast food restaurant called Los Floppos Hermanos. As the biggest drug dealer in the state, he was rich and had expanded his territory to Colorado and Arizona, where he recruited many ex-FCP Foundation soldiers to sell drugs for him. He was killed by the Bingus Mafia in 2011, when he was about to depart to Chicago to meet his supposed acquaintance.

## Career

### Restaurant

In 2009, Bingustavo Fring founded the Los Floppos Hermanos chicken fast food restaurant. There, he sold fried chicken products, but since New Flopxico wasn't the best place to build a business, he decided that the restaurant wasn't enough. In 2010, he rented his place as a hideout for criminals like drug dealers, robbers, felons, etc. and he got some money out of that. Still, Bingustavo insisted that he needed more money.

### Drug dealer

As he was introduced to drugs, he started consuming them. Then, he thought that by selling the drugs, he could be rich. With his connection to drug dealers in Flopxico, he received tons of packages which he then distributed to drug dealers across the state. He quickly got rich and became a drug kingpin in New Flopxico, until he started expanding his territory to Colorado and Arizona. He tried to expand to Texas, but the Texan authority almost caught him, so he abandoned the state.

Bingustavo Fring was one of the worlds biggest kingpin selling numerous types and amount of drugs in South West UFA during 2010-2011. He recruited people from every region of the UFA, from Massachusetts to Flopington. In mid-2010, he almost dominated the West Coast, but was stopped by the Bingus Mafia who dominated the East Coast. Bingustavo got to war with drug lords across the country, fighting the Flopaz cartel in California and the Flopoying cartel in the Rocky Mountain region.

## Death

On July 15th he suspected his rival snitched on him to the law, so he goes to meet him to kill him. He planned to travel to Chicago to meet his supposed acquaintance. However, his rival, the Bingus Mafia, set a trap for him with a bomb which killed him in his car. His body was never found.

Bingusson 2-18

*Red Supergiant*

Zoomed in picture of Bingusson 2-18 with neighboring stars

**Bingusson 2-18** (**Bg2-18**) is a red supergiant or possibly a red hypergiant located in the constellation Bingum in the cluster Bingusson, that is 2.5 billion km (1.5 billion mi) in diameter. Bingusson 2-18 is located in the Floppa-Floptaurus arm of the Floppa Way galaxy and is 6,000 floppasecs (20,000 ly) away from Flearth. Bingusson 2-18 has such a big size that its photosphere could possibly swallow Flaturn's orbit.

## Discovery and observation history

The Bingusson cluster was discovered by American astronomer Charles Bingus Bingusson in 1990 from the data in a deep infrared survey. The brightest star in the cluster was given the name Bingusson 2-18, 2 because of its outlying position, and 18 to distinguish the star from other stars. In 2003, Bingusson 2-18's diameter was thought to be 2,000,000,000 km and soon was measured to be 2,500,000,000 km.

## Properties

Bingusson is an unusual star. It is classified as an M6 star with a very high luminosity, which is unusual for red stars. Because it has so much infrared excess, people say that it is possibly a red hypergiant.

He was working on the quarantine station when he got a call saying ECHO was headed in with one injured of unknown origins. While examining the patient, his fellow teammates insisted it was just a bullet ricochet. One even put his hand on his side arm and politely insisted he let the patient in.

He was monitoring the patient from ECHO when he got a call saying a hellfire missile went off in the mess hall of Hereford. He put a nurse in charge to monitor and ran to the emergency. While in the process of working the temporary triage center, he realized no one else was coming to help and he started to get suspicious.
