To Go Back To This With Some

I love the idea of Calliope and Atreus putting his half-sister back together. Never mind learning more about Old Kratos and what exactly happened in Greece (IE: Kratos being tricked by Ares to kill his wife and child.) leading to a big fallout between father and son.

My ideas for the set up and more.

Opening.

Any story in my mind could start out with the first war against Apophis, Ra and the other first Gods looking out from the Benben before fighting in the waters, allowing the player to post at max level. (Think if you could play as Zeus fighting the Titans.)

It switch to Old Kratos in an isolated oasis with his family. Maybe near Kharga Oasis, or the Bahariya Oasis.

Some of Gods and where their stand in the Civil War.

Geb and Nut: Titan like beings and the parents of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. They have no role in the Civil War itself.

Thoth: A close ally to Isis and the closest thing Horus had to a father after Osiris' death.

Bastet: Horus agasint her sister.

Sekhmet: Set due to her loyalty to Ra.

Ptah: Horus due to the murder of Osiris.

Montu: One of Set's best generals.

Sobek: At the moment a wild card god.

Hathor: Neutral and trying to break a peace.

A lot of gods and goddess are still either still attempts neutrality, or roles takes them beyond the war itself. Like Neith and others. Some like Amun...no one seen him in like forever. Some early allies of Kratos could be Amenhotep, son of Hapu, Ash, Imhotep.

Aten in my mind could be say a rogue god who fell from grace after his power play failed with Akhenaten and his followers as a secondly theart.

You can still tied in some stuff from Norse Era, like a lot of gods talked about Tyr, and how they gave him back his arm after losing it to Garm. Or even mentioned of the 'Hebrews and their one god' and no one likes talking about it. Or Kratos being called 'a Sea Man' as a reference to the Sea People.

Osiris and Set: Even with how he came to power, Osiris was a great king and Pharaoh, who tired to make peace with his brother, but between Isis' manipulations, and Set's bitterness failed. When war did break out, Osiris attempted again to make peace. No one knows what just happened, but Set did cut his brother down accidental. This drove many into Horus and Isis camp.

i was thinking about calliope

Of course not canon thing (i have not enough time for good research and im lazy)

I dont like some sweeet concepts of her, i wanna see her feral and insane cuz there's a lot of shit

That’s not Ohio that’s Iowa good sir.

I feel for Set getting dragged into that little Greek family mess with his own problems. On the upside, Apollo is likely the one who helped Set find his old wife in the first place.

On an more serious note, I can easily see Anput being the Angrboda counterpart, as in Egyptian Mythology, she shared a lot of Anubis functions and was his wife. She could be would be the main one trying actively guiding Atreus. (Compared to Nephthys who wants to do the same, but more focus on keeping her son safe, and Kratos who is not happy with any of this, and wanting to avoid the whole war, which his wife would agree at the start, and focus on his own family.)

God of War in Egypt

I kind of wish that the God of War sequel series had taken place in Egypt instead of Midgard. Aside from just loving Egyptian Mythology and it being severely underrated, I really think it could have worked thematically with God of War.

Let me explain.

So, the most famous myth in Egyptian Mythology, and arguably the most important, is the succession crisis between Horus and Set. Basically, Horus is the son of Osiris, the previous King of the Gods, whom Set, Osiris’ brother, murdered and took the throne for his own.

But, it’s not so cut and dry. See, the original King of the Gods was Ra, the creator deity, who was forced out by Isis, mother of Horus and wife of Osiris, and then forced him to name Osiris his heir. Set was Ra’s greatest general and oathsworn warrior, and by all rights should have been king after Ra stepped down. So Horus’ claim isn’t as ironclad as it appears.

So, why does this work?

Because it’s a legitimate divine WAR. A war where no one is clearly in the right or wrong, and both sides have to stand on the strength of their morals, rather than being ruled by a generic fantasy Evil King you need to rebel against.

So, picture this for the God of War sequel series:

Kratos makes his way to Egypt after the fiasco in Greece, and there he meets Nephthys, the sister of Isis and a Goddess of Night, the Dead, and Air. Nephthys is in hiding as she doesn’t want to get involved in the war between her family. She knows who Kratos is, he’s got a reputation, and hides her identity as a Goddess, tending to his wounds. They end up falling in love and having a child together, whom they name Atreus. But Nephthys gives him a different name in secret.

She names him Anubis.

When Atreus is young, the family is thrown into the Succession War when Nephthys’ identity is revealed. This obviously pisses of Kratos because he’s still in his “hates all the Gods” thing and thinks Nephthys used him. But he still loves her, and despite the tension the three of them try to keep themselves together and try to stay alive in the midst of this divine war.

They don’t really like either side of the war, and both occupy a somewhat villainous position in the beginning. Horus is an arrogant jerk and Set is a brutal warrior. Both are meant to be a parallel to Kratos as well, Set having a similar backstory and warrior mindset and Horus emodying the brutal hateful anger at everything that made Kratos destroy the Olympian pantheon.

Basically, Atreus/Anubis in these games would be Kratos’ opposite. He’s gentle and weak where Kratos is brutal and powerful. Atreus’ unique ability is to communicate with the dead, drawing power from them and laying their spirits to rest. It’s this power that makes him indispensable to the war, as he gains the ability to do the same with dead Gods as well, including Osiris.

Ultimately, it’s revealed that Apophis, the Chaos Serpent, has been manipulating both sides this whole time in an effort to throw the world into chaos. Isis finally relents her mbition, Horus unbend his pride, and Set stops fighting.

They end up putting Ra back on the Throne for the coming conflict with Apophis, and the gods recognize Atreus as Anubis, one of their pantheon. Kratos is forced to learn to trust Gods and realize that Ra is not the tyrant Zeus was. He forgives Nephthys for her deception and accepts his son as a God, and they work together against Apophis.

I dunno. I just think it could work.

Star Wars: Legacy of the Force.

It all started with the Syndulla Twins. Jacen and Jaina Syndulla. The children of Jedi Survivor Kanan Jarrus and general Hera Syndulla, the twins would glow up in the climax of the First Galactic Civil War and the Birth of the New Republic. Both was showed to be gifted with the Force, just like their late father. While both was gifted pilots, Jance would favor the Living Force and animals under the influence of Ezra Bridger, Jaina became the true ace of the family as well as her penchant for technology.

While the return Bridger and Sabine Wren was quick to tied the knot following the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Syndulla Twins was among the first to train under Luke Skywalker and the New Jedi Order. Here, the twin became close to Ben Solo, follow by Anakin Bridger-Wren. It was wonderful time for them and despite all their differences, they was family.

Before it went wrong and ended in tragedy. 

The Galactic Defense Party, or the GDP for short. Starting out as more of a big tent party, made up of everyone from the Centrists, the Populists, and a dozen other minor and petty parties and factions. What united most of them was the motto 'A Strong Republic, A Safe Republic' and 'For the Greater Good'. Lead by Cal Omas, a native son of Alderaan away when the First Death Star struck and served as a pilot with distinction in the war. While one of Leia's biggest supporters, he became more and more uncertain of her, and the Populists ability to lead the New Republic and do what was needed. 

When Organa's political career ended with the revelation of her secret heritage as the daughter of Darth Vader, it would be the moment of the GDP to shine. Against all odds, the Galactic Defense Party won the elections and Omas would sweep into power. He promised a era of centralization and federalization, to ensure that the galactic peace and stability would last for all her peoples.

The news hit no one harder than Ben Solo. Already feeling doubt and feeling alike to a outcast, the truth of his grandfather and the fact his family had hidden this from him ruined the young man. Despite the best efforts of Anakin (Despite the bitter rivalry between the two.) and Syndulla Twins as well as his uncle, Ben would fall deeper into the Dark Side until one fateful night.

Grand Master Skywalker had gone to see his nephew, and to this day, no one knows just what happened. Only that the hut collapsed on itself and Ben Solo came out of it, lightsaber in hand. Convinced that Solo had killed his own uncle in cold blood, Jacen Syndulla leap to defend the temple, and the result duel between the two best friends.

Luke hesitated.

Jacen didn't, and Ben Solo fell to the ground dead. His destiny of Kylo Ren dead before it could start.

What follow would be the slow death of the New Jedi Order, Jacen cast himself out, ashamed of killing Ben and furious at Master Skywalker failure, with many of the Knights following him. Luke would exile himself to unknown space, and Anakin Bridger-Wren would leave and go back to his mother's people, the Mandalorians of Mandalore.

Those who remain struggle to keep the Order alive and the dream of the Jedi with it. Jaina begged her brother to stay, but the darkness had a hold on him and it wasn't letting go.

What follow would be the militarism and fascism of the New Republic. It became increasingly controlling of local governments, demanding member states pay higher and higher taxes to help with infrastructure protects and pool their military resources for the New Republic Defense Force. Free Speech has been limited into nothing, but propaganda, with the Senate held by the GDP in full.

Following a series of terrorist attacks and riots on the reestablish capital of Coruscant, the Republican Guard would be form, a secret police to crack down on any and all dissent far and wide, real, and otherwise. 

The First Order-Republic War would be the moment of truth. Having promised to bring the 'Last legacy of the Empire to heel', Cal Omas would make good on that promise and he would have Jacen Syndulla on his side. Disillusioned and cutting himself off from his family, Jacen and his followers would find new purpose in the New Republic cause. With Admiral Nek Bwua'tu leading the fleet, Syndulla would lead the army into battle against the First Order like a Jedi Warrior of old with his "Jedi Lords."

Despite utter zealot and fanaticism in their defense, the Order stood no chance and all know of Jacen cutting down General Armitage Hux for the whole galaxy to see. What follow was many members of the Order was given pardon and amnesty, it resources, fleets, and territory added to the New Republic despite Omas personal misgivings.

The Resistance was meant to fight the First Order, to safeguard the Republic. But now the Order is finished, and the New Republic is rushing into becoming a second Empire. The Resistance is made up of many faces, from Idealistic New Republic Dissidents who still hope to redeem the State like Leia herself, to many Moderate Imperials, led by Baron Soontir Fel and his son Jagged Fel who still believes in a Imperial vision, to many more with their own goals and missions such old rivals like Borsk Fey'lya.

Keeping such an unruly house is one thing, never mind the many independent movements and other Anti-Republic movements coming out of the woodwork. The Confederation lead by Corellia is this close to calling for total Independence and there would be open war once again.

Among others, Mandalore is dead silent, watching and waiting. Since returning to his mother, Ankain, always a iconoclastic that put him at odds with Jance and other Jedi, now lead what amounts to a Mandalorian Jedi Order. Despite his youth, many look to the young man, seeking to combine the better parts of the Mandalorian Code as well as the teachings of the Jedi. Aged Ahsoka Tano does her best to train them, and to guild Anakin, even as the Galaxy has become a dark place once again and is seen as a 'honorary' Mandalorian by many old and young.

Hera Syndulla heart breaks for both her children, as does the rest of Ghost. The last time she met her son, she and Ezra Bridger begged him to walk away, the latter speaking how he himself had gone down this same road under Maul and it wasn't too late. Jance just told them to leave and not show their 'traitorous faces' to him again. Zed for his part would want noting more to 'knock some sense into his head' for the sake of Kanan. 

Jaina divides her time between the struggling Ossus Jedi, and the Resistance. Since...what happened, the New Jedi has a much more 'open door' policy, anyone may join them, and learn and may leave whatever they wish. Masters often many several student under their wings. Jaina is no master...but many looks to show as the New Republic put more and more pressure on them to join the Jedi Lords.

Meanwhile, all keeps looking for Luke Skywalker, all believing he alone could break the stalemate and turn the tide. Poe Dameron has been giving this mission, to Jakku to meet with Lor San Tekka to gain a map to Skywalker.

All while Krayt, once A'Sharad Hett laughs within his stronghold on Moraband. He himself was surprised at this turn of events, but he is no fool to missed out. Indeed, he found Syndulla lost and alone, and acting as yet another survivor of Order 66, and took him under his wing. In secret, he thanks the boy, killing Skywalker's little grandson. For now, his grip on the New Republic and the boy glows day by day, going as far as to send Talon to watch over him.

The Rule of Two is over. Long Live the Rule of One.

XXX

1: Force Awakens play out more than similar. A far more composed,but brooding melancholy Jacen captures Poe who is later freed by Finn and the pair crashlands back on Jakku and Finn meeting Rey. They still steal the Millennium Falcon, but instead of Han and Chewie, it Hera and Zed, which Zeb jokes how much Solo is going to own them for this.

Hera does take Rey under her wing, reminder her of Ezra, not seeing him since the last time they saw Jacen and spending his time between Lothal and Mandalore. After being ambush by pirates and New Republic proxies, they head to Takodana. Cue Ray visions (Maybe adding stuff like Kanan Sacrifice.) and finding Luke's lightsaber and the New Republic finding them, the Resistance counterattack and Jance taking Rey.

At D'Qar, everyone goes back and forth after learning about Starkiller (Cal Omas wanted more than to tear it apart, but kept being blocked by his allies.) and the New Republic going to use it on them. The deadlock is broken by Fel and Ciena Ree siding with Leia and Hera to attack Starkiller and Hera to rescue Ray with Finn. (Cue the fact he was a janitor and...)

Finn: We use the Force!

Hera wanting to slap Finn silly: That's not how the Force works!

Old Jacen comes out trying to befriend Ray, which almost works, but she rebukes him. At Talon urges, Jacen tries to take the information forcibly from her, only to turn it back at him that he feels he would never makes his father proud. Rattled, Jacen leaves with Talon after him.

Rey frees herself with the team finds her. Cue the attack of Resistance X-Wings and TIE-Fighters on Starkiller. Hera reaches out to her son one last time before being killed, seeing all the Force Sensitive members of Ghost react to her death.

Cue battle between Jance and Finn and then Jacne and Rey. Jance is saved by Talon while everyone else flees the planet.

Rey leaves with the arriving Jaina Syndulla and Ezra Bridger to meet with Luke.

2: The Last Jedi: First meetings with Luke is...less than great. The Second Galactic Civil War breaks out, with many following the Confederation and their call for Independence. Cal Omas is overthrown in a palace coup, and the Resistance flees from D'Qar, and Leia nearly killed. Soontir Fel takes command along with a lot of old Imperials like Ree and Terisa Kerrill in command among others. Poe has his plan with the addition of Anakin Bridger-Wren and cutting a deal with Borsk Fey'lya which Poe feels dirty for it.

On Ahch-To, Luke, Jaina, and Ezra tries to train Rey and try to make peace. Goes not go over well, and both Jaina and in a lesser manner Ezra blows up at Luke over what happened and his ditching everyone to feel sorry for himself.

Poe's team is captured on the New Republic flagship while Rey gives herself to Jance. First meeting with Krayt over a hologram who demands Jance brings her to him. Someone pulls a Holdo Maneuver on the New Republic while Jaina and Rey faces off with Jance and Ezra saves Finn, Rose and Anakin.

The Resistance is pulled out of the fire by Han Solo (He claims it to claim his ship back, but all know why.) the Mandalorian Jedi, Ahsoka Tano, and others.

3: I am of half a mind of doing a part one and two. One to focus on the Second Galactic War and the second to focus on TTL Rise of Skywalker. All out warfare between the New Republic against the Resistance, the latter trying to hold together a united front of so many different factions. Jedi Lords and their 'totally not' One Sith allies against the other Jedi Orders. Etc

I admit I took a lot from Horizon and Call of Duty Extinction and more I'm making up as I go. I finally got Declassified and I could not help myself.

In my mind, child Sombra was taken by Anubis loyalists, and forcibly turned into a cybernetic freak. Unlike Sojourn (Who isn't really there anymore. There nothing left of Vivian Chase, only Anubis.) as the God Program host body, Olivia Colomar still exists, fighting against the Sombra's persona.

Doomfist, he's definitely one of the major leaders, or figures on the Mars Colony of Humans. His Social Darwinism philosophy to reclaim the Earth from the Omnics and the 'fake humans'. He, and Moira would be the biggest Martian Humans Heroes. Compared to maybe Mercy and Lifeweaver who should stay on Mars and focus rebuilding.

I see you had Cassidy as among the Human Survivors on Earth. In my eyes Cassidy would be an Jeremiah Johnson/Man with No Name. A man with few if any words to say, it all in his actions. So alone for so long, but still has a heart in him.

Of course Mauga would still be alive and kicking. He gone full Ocean World.

Illari, could be interesting if the Inti Warriors are still around in the Andes and just wanna be left around/left undiscovered.

All the cloned cast would be very different. But you can still see certain characteristics from Canon as part of the 'Human Nature.' Some would become rebellious like Ashe, and Junker Queen, others trying to figure out what a human being actually means.

Ramattra would be one of the most interesting to explore. Even here I feel he would be a sorta outsider because of being a Ravagers, built by Anubis for war. He has no reason to hate humans, but maybe thinking the project to bring them back to be a bad one. Even so I like to think he defends everyone on top on going after Anubis itself. Peace at any cost. The same for working with Macaria.

Curious to see Echo and Orisa. I guess the're attempts by the Omics to create a new generation.

Large parts of the Earth have been left abounded, reclaimed by nature, litter with the legacy of mankind and the Crisis, Omnics are often clustered around the old Omniums as well as several other locations.

No idea why I did this, but you might enjoy it and offer some insight on it. The Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity. Or Pyrrhic Victory in the Crisis.

https://www.tumblr.com/hellomrhistoryman/737875839474171904/my-thoughts-on-the-subject-the-omnic-crisis?source=share

I now have brain rot. I love this so much!!

Ok first I would like to point out a couple of things. The first being, considering the state of the Overwatch world during the Crisis, other then then brilliant minds being saved, the only other people who would have been saved were probably rich. Another thing is that I think the only people who would be cloned would be those who died at a young age, so a majority of the old guard stay dead, and a suggestion I would make to avoid complicating ages would be have the cloning process match how old the DNA is.

I would also like a specification on what Sombra is doing in this AU, because I assume she's trying to save Sojourn, but it also sounds she's either also being controlled by Anubis or helping him in some way.

However speaking of Sombra there is something I need to specify and that it, if a character has augmentations like she does in canon and they are part of the few surviving humans on earth in this universe, they wouldn't have those augmentations unless they were needed for survival and they were saved by Omics.

Also I would love to see how morals change for characters because of this change. Specifically the Talon characters.

I would also like to point out that Ramattra and maybe Zen would probably be the main ones trying to stop Anubis on the Omnic side of things, maybe even working with Macaria.

Anyway I also made a list on what I think the state of all the characters, so enjoy;

World of Darkness

World of Darkness versions of Dancy and Meredith for an april fools gag

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

Sun Tzu.

Prepare to fight. If we die, we die with honor. 

I read the orignal 1938 story a lot in high school and there was a 2013 movie with  Ben Stiller. 

The Office set up I think works very well for the story premise and I love just how in a loop the Lux/Jinx relationship is kinda stuck in, leading to the pair just to start daydreaming fantastic scenarios about the other.  Even the fact Lux start to cause tech problems just to get near Jinx more. 

Meanwhile, Vi and Cait (Both company security.)  are probably watching from the outside, while having the same daydreams about each other.  

New random story idea: The Secret Life of Jinx and Lux. Based off the story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, it has Jinx and Lux having just a normal, slow day, and so having various daydreams being and doing wild and crazy stuff to get by the day. Think of it as a excuse to do various one-shorts in one story and maybe explore the LoL skin alternate universes. (Say picture Jinx as a cool assassin and Lux as her target's girlfriend who falls for Lux.)

I've never seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but I can kinda get the idea behind it based on how you describe it. Story could basically be about two bored office workers (or some similar job) thinking up ways to pass the time.

Unsure if it would be a shared daydream or just have switching PoV each chapter. Kinda like the idea of switching PoV just for the fact they could both believe they have a one-sided crush and daydreaming around the other.

Like for example, maybe Jinx works IT and Lux is the Secretary for the company. Most people don't pay Jinx (or any of the IT people for that matter) much mind, maybe they're seen as weird, yet every morning when Jinx walks in Lux always greets her which started their initial relationship. Just small talk, evolved into offered food/drink, but never really going past that.

Daydreams start from there with Jinx bored out of her mind in between tickets, thinking of the nice pretty blonde that's always so nice to her for some reason. Maybe it starts with just a fantasized conversation or date, then it grew more 'fun' from there, leaning more into fantasy based on whatever caught Jinx's attention for the day.

On Lux's end it could be she started greeting Jinx just out of habit, but then with the small moments shared she began wanting to know more, but is too shy to actually do that (maybe Jinx seems too cool or something). Her daydreams start from that thought.

Could also have a point where Jinx starts receiving almost daily tickets from Lux about some form of tech problem out front, all created on Lux's end just for the chance of chatting. Like "My monitor isn't working," only she's just 'accidentally' unplugged it. Jinx is unsure if Lux is doing it on purpose for some reason or is actually that technically challenged.

Anything is possible.  His official Overwatch 2 backtstory states Junkrat founds something on the lines of ‘a extremely valuable secret in the bones of the Omnium’. What that could be we have no idea what it might be, or could be even now. 

What is this secret? Could it be the means of speaking to Aurora, or understanding the Iris? Could it be the means of freeing the Omnics from Null Sector? Is  it the answer to  Ramattra’s unsaid question? 

We just don’t know. But I still think whatever Jamison  knows, or even has could be critical element of the story. 

Random theory: This is a old one, but Junkrat's treasure is actually the secret of Omnic life and could be the key in saving them and starting the next generation and future generations onward.

Of course he's much too crazy and insane to even understand what he knows, or what he has, but Jamison could actually be the biggest game changer of the whole setting.

That's the irony in the Junker who hates Omnics could be the one to save them.

That is both very funny to me and also a very interesting way to get the Junkers involved in the main storyline.

Do I think it's possible? No, I think a big thing in the story is the fact that Omnics are a set generation, but that's not the only problem, they are an oppressed minority. Making a new generation isn't going to stop the discrimination and abuse. It's a fix to a problem but not a fix to the problem.

But this did get me thinking.

In an interaction Rammattra has with Echo he mentions that he has a question he constantly asks her and that he wishes she could answer. Maybe what Junkrat has it the answer to that question. Or maybe it's the answer to what happened when Aroura ascended/what the iris is.

Better yet what if what he has is the key to saving the Omnics who have been subjugated? Like it's a technology that can remove the helmet without hurting the omnics?

I don't know but this ask has gotten me thinking-

I will say I am curious on how the story of Chaotic Swap would look like game to game. Like how Sonic Adventure 2 would look like with Blaze and Rouge in Sonic and Shadow places, or even afterward with Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog (Rouge suffering from memory loss), among others.

As for Vanilla, it seem like the obvious choice to make Cream into the Sage to Vanilla's Eggman as you said Eggman himself has become more fatherly.

I am very curious to see Team Blaze, how they came to be, and more of how Blaze as the Sonic would look like on top of Team Dark and the Vanilla.

I really love your Chaos Swap. I think you are creating a a fun setting with some creative fun with the cast. My favorite is Team Dark. Shadow as the serious agent of G.U.N who plays it very close to his chest, Rouge as the Ultimate Life Form who watched far too many Spy movies, Omega as Eggman. Big Shadouge fan, so I love their relationship here. Shadow always being there for Rouge following a nightmare, or a moment of depression, and for her part, Rouge can only flirt her poor bat soul. I like to picture E.G.G playing matchmaker whenever they go to the New Babylon Casino, or one of Shadow's bars.

The rest of them are both wild and fun as well. Vanilla as Doctor Eggman is something I never would have thought of, but I do like Vector as Agent Stone.

This Tails puts even his Sonic Prime self Nines to shame and I guess he is taking Doctor Starline place here. It hard to see Amy like this, but even some of her Canon self is still there and I love this thing between her and Metal!Sonic.

Looking at the other places and mentions, I guess Blaze is the Sonic. Would that mean Silver is her Tails?

I love to see more of this world. Who else do you have plan for the Chaos Swap? Or even more stuff for Team Dark because I feel they're pretty central to this whole thing from what I seen.

Such questions warm my soul, I am glad that people like my ideas. As for Blaze, yes, she will take Sonic's place. I've considered a lot of options, and as for me, Blaze is ideally suited for this role. (Although I even considered Knuckles for Sonic's place) Silver— I have an idea about his role, he will take the place of Amy Rose. Tails' place is taken by Marin. As for Vannila, because of the family motives of both characters, it seemed interesting to me to choose Vanilla. Recently, Eggman has been developing towards a father-daughter relationship. Yes, the dark team will be central to my au. For it was my first command that I did this to this au. As for any spoilers about future work, there will be a Team of Blazes (Blaze as Sonic, Lien—Da as Knuckles and Marin as Tails). New art with the Dark Team and the Vannila Empire.
