It’s still a work in progress but I think the idea is kinda cool✨
“Cassandra” (mentioned below) is an OC of mine.

With Cassandra’s plea heavy on his mind, Jetstream silently consults Monsoon, who gives him an approving nod. Jetstream sighs before turning to Raiden. “Well, looks like this calls for a truce.” Jetstream extends his hand out for Raiden to shake.
Raiden turns cautiously towards Jetstream. He stares intensely at Jetstream’s hand, conflicting thoughts clearly holding him back.
“Well don’t leave me hanging.” Chuckles Jetstream.
Raiden’s eyes squeeze tight as he pushes down a groan. His eyes shoot back open to meet Jetstream’s. “Don’t make me regret this.” Raiden’s hand firmly grips Jetstream’s at last, putting a smile on the samurai’s face. Monsoon and Raiden exchange a cordial handshake as well.
“Thank you for your cooperation cyborgs. Your combined strength will be critical for this mission.”
Raiden steps ever so slightly towards the screen. “So when do we start?”
“Now.” Cassandra’s response drops like a weighted ball.
Raiden’s eyes scrunch in confusion. “Wait, what?”
“Steel yourselves, cyborgs. A rouge alien is quickly approaching your position.”
With no time to prepare, an alien explodes through the ceiling, scattering shards of glass in its wake. It lunges at Monsoon, pinning him to the floor and clamping down hard on his helmet. Monsoon struggles a bit before kicking it off. The alien sails across the warehouse before disappearing in the sea of crates. Jetstream quickly checks on Monsoon while Raiden sprints after the creature. “I’m fine! Don’t let it get away!” Monsoon demands. Though clearly concerned, Jetstream nods and takes off to join Raiden.
Raiden and Jetstream finally have the creature cornered. The rouge alien lets out an aggressive wail when suddenly, one of Monsoon’s sai impales the creature’s head through the roof of its gaping mouth — pinning its lifeless body to the wall. Monsoon stands atop a stack of crates, sparks flying out the cracks in his helmet. Monsoon drops down from the crates and summons his sai back to him.
“That alien did a number on you.” Raiden comments. “You gonna be okay?”
Jetstream instinctively moves closer to Monsoon, his features racked with concern.
“Yeah..” Sighs Monsoon, slightly unsteady on his feet. “I’ll be.. I’ll be fine…” Monsoon’s strength gives out and he suddenly falls backwards. Jetstream catches Monsoon and sets him down gently on the warehouse floor.
“Monsoon! What’s wrong?! Answer me!” Pleads Jetstream. “Dammit! I don’t know what to do!”
Raiden kneels down by Monsoon, an idea forming. “I think know someone who can help.”
Jetstream slowly meets Raiden’s gaze, his eyes filled with reluctance. He has no choice but to trust Raiden…

Hello! I hope this is an okay place to ask this.
So, I have a character that I named after the friendly ghost, Casper. At the young age I was when I first created him, I didn’t realize that might be a copyright issue down the road.
I’ve tried several name changes and none of them stick. I’m just so attached to that name but I know I likely can’t keep it.
So if anyone can help recommend some alternative names, I’d be so grateful.

A little bit about my character:

Gender: Male

Species: Demon hybrid (father is a demon, mother is a spirit)

Names I’ve tried: Ciran and Halo (current name)

If you like Halo, let me know. I’m just so torn… Casper really grew on me.

Thanks so much✨

I’m at an absolute loss… I’ve asked chatbots and contacted PayPal customer service and my issue still isn’t resolved. My client and I are just in limbo at this point and I hate keeping them waiting.

I’ve just completed my first ever freelance project. My client asked for an invoice or payment link and it seemed like I could do that pretty easy with PayPal. I created my account and sent the invoice. All is well until it’s time for me to claim the payment. This is where I’m running into a wall. I created my account a week ago and my payment is still pending. I linked my bank card and even provided my SSN. I’ve tried using the mobile app, visiting the website on mobile, and finally visiting the website on desktop. I can’t get past this verification thing. I’m hitting “accept payment” and then it says “get verified!” and then it shows a screen showing my card and a button to link a bank or card. My card is already linked. I even removed the card and then added it again. I don’t know what to do. Maybe there’s something my client needs to do on their end? They’re slow to respond though. I’m painfully aware this is a common occurrence for brand new accounts and the money being held can last up to 21 days or something like that? (According to Gemini and Copilot) This has already been a very lengthy process as the communication isn’t great.. Any help, advice, or sharing your own experience would be appreciated.
