I've been on Deviant Art for quite some time and have amassed quite the collection of Deviant Favorites. And while sorting through and organizing those entries, I made quite a disconcerting discovery, particularly for one who followed the ways of the OCD. If the poster of one of your favorites archives the favorite, you lose access to that entry, but it still counts towards your total favorites. You can't move it. You can't remove it. You can't view it. Let's just face it. You just can't Torquemada anything! With that revelation, I've elected to remove many of my favorites (but keeping the artist in my Follower list), and instead, either bookmarking the favorite in my browser or downloading the favorite and archiving it on my PC. I've tried twice communicating with DA about this, with the second time actually getting a response. And while I AM correct in my assumption that the invisible favorites ARE ones archived, sadly, they have no way of removing those archived favorites

The Bureau - Races (work in progress)
RACES Fae The Fae are creatures who hail from a sister reality to our own known as the Other. They are creatures that represent nature, chance, and decadence. While not creatures of chaos, they are not of law, either, deciding to blaze their own trail through life. High Elf The High Elves, both Light and Dark, embody all that is beautiful and artistic, and like many tortured artists, they are fickle creatures. Those with High Elf ancestry tend to be more beautiful or have greater charisma than those around them, but also tend to be a bit more moody and flighty. High Elves tend to have greater success at convincing others or garnering a following, but might also be more prone to changing their minds. Most often, however, once a pact, promise, or deal is struct, it might as well be written in stone with blood. 1D4 bonus on Social, Media Mogul, and Front Man Rolls Leprechaun Leprechauns are creatures of avarice. Not greedy or stingy, per se, but they are more reluctant to spend
JOBS Rolling on a job attempt entails the DM choosing how difficult the job should be. A good start should be easy, such as picking a target roll of, say 3 to 5 on a D20. The higher up a line of reasoning becomes, the higher the target rolls should be, as fine tuning the information becomes more difficult due to how specialized the desired outcome should be. As the JOB levels up, more bonuses are applied to the end roll, reflecting how experienced the JOB bearer is. (Example : David, the INVENTOR, is wanting to build a Flux Capacitor. The prototype is crude is mainly intended as a proof of concept. The INVENTOR needs to roll a 7 on a D20 and David rolls a 5. However, David has leveled up being an INVENTOR once and can apply a +1 to his roll, making his result a 6.) The more advanced the target result becomes, the harder it should be to obtain the desired roll, but the end result should reflect how difficult the end product should be compared to its starting off

Phillip ran, pushing past pedestrians walking in the opposite direction, pushing past pedestrians moving the same direction. Anyone directly in front of him were fare game. They weren't the ones being pursued, being hunted like a fox ... no ... like a scared rabbit. Phillip ran like Lucifer, himself, were at his heels. Turning off into a dark alley, he pulled out the one thing he knew could save him and clutched the electric torch, the life preserver for his drowning soul. Once he knew he was out of view of any prying eyes, past the garbage bin set out for whatever establishment opened up into the alley, Phillip aimed the torch at the wall and set his thumb on the switch. He then noticed that the sound of the traffic, vehicular and foot, began to dim, along with what meager illumination the dingy florescent lights in the alley cast. He heard the slow steady footsteps, boot heels clicking on the grimy pavement from the street. But it was the whistling that unnerved him enough to
Chapter 1 : Grand Opening
The sun was spreading its warmth and light across the beach and boardwalk. Beach goers, both local and tourists, moved about enjoying the day. Veronica and Vivian made their way through the crowd towards the concession stands to pick up a quick bite before hitting the waters and the sand. Vivian, her pixie style red hair contrasted against her Lettuce green bikini and making her stand out. She ignored the looks put her way as she began ordering her hot dog from the vendor. Veronica, her chocolate skin showing through her sapphire blue bikini soaked in the rays where her sun hat's shade allowed it. She held up a h
