Twilight by Stephanie Meyer



Edward & Bella


"About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part may be - that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."


Twilight is a book about an ordinary girl, Bella, who falls in love with a not-so-ordinary boy ... or if you want to be pedantic, vampire.
It's a messy, sweet, slightly violent and bloody love story.
And it's awesome.

With the movie about to come out, I thought it would be the perfect time to share my versions of these amazing characters.
They are packaged as adults because, well, teenager's just didn't sit right with me.

"Tribulation Force" Characters ~ Based on the novel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B.Jenkins

"Rayford Steele, Buck Williams, Bruce Barnes, and Chloe Steele band together to form the Tribulation Force. Their task is clear, and their goal nothing less than to stand and fight the enemies of God during the seven most chaotic years the planet will ever see" - leftbehind.com


The 'Tribulation Force' is the group of new believers who came to salvation after the disappearance of millions of Christians around the globe.

Comprised of Pilot Rayford Steele, his daughter Chloe Steele, journalist Buck Williams, and Pastor Bruce Barnes (which can be found here), this end-times force band together to witness for truth and to battle the enemies of God, first and foremost the suspected Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia who proposes the eradication of all religion and establishing a single world religion with the help of Catholic Archbishop Peter Mathews.

Meanwhile, Rabbi Tsion Ben Judah has concluded his study of the Messiah, announcing his findings publicly, shocking and stunning the world with his conclusion; while facing dangerous retribution from those who oppose his view. His only form of aid in his increasingly precarious situation is Cameron "Buck" Williams and the 'Tribulation Force".

Through the continued study of bible prophecy with an ever growing group of believers including Amanda White, the 'Tribulation Force' learn that the disappearances have ushered in a seven-year period called the Tribulation, initiated by the signing of a treaty with Israel, during which the earth will suffer from the most catastrophic calamities in its history.

Those left behind now face war, famine, plagues, and natural disasters so devastating that only one in four people will survive.

The odds are even worse for these enemies of the Antichrist and his new world order.

"Left Behind" Characters ~ Based on the novel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins



"Driverless cars careen out of control. Terrified people watch their loved ones vanish. Some say it's an alien invasion, but Rayford Steele knows that his wife's warning has come true—Christ has raptured believers and he's been left behind!" - leftbehind.com

The "Left Behind" series, concieved and written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, focuses on the pivotal characters of Rayford Steele, Chloe Steele, Cameron "Buck" Williams and Pastor Bruce Barnes who are stunned when millions of people disappear including children both born and unborn. Every one of them has links to people who have 'disappeared' and slowly the conviction grows within them that it is the "Rapture", when God takes his true believers from the Earth and begins his final attempt at turning mankind toward him.

Realising their disasterous mistake; Rayford, Chloe, Buck and Pastor Bruce Barnes band together and join a community of 'tribulation saints', named so after the seven year period of Tribulation they have been ushered into by the 'Rapture'.

Meanwhile, a slick Romanian politician by the name of Nicolae Jetty Carpathia begins to gain notoriety, first as the Romanian President and then as Secretary General of the United Nations with the help of Chaim Rozenweig and his 'Eden' formula; his climb is followed closely by "Buck" and his boss Steve Plank, who soon gives up his journalistic integrity to work for the politician. At an alarming pace, Nicolae's increasing popularity sees his control grow ... until even world domination isn't unreasonable.

The disappearances, the 'Rapture', of millions of people caused devastation around the world; but the 'tribulation saints' soon learn that the seven years to follow will only bring more judgements upon mankind, from a worldwide earthquake to World War III, ravaging the world until the pinnacle of the seven years is reached; when Jesus Christ returns to earth to build his kingdom.

Love to hear what you think

Benjamin Rochester



Benji, as she prefers to be called, is from New Jersey and is a tattoo artist turned substitute teacher. She is a proud "ANTM:Remixed" (hosted by the fabulous summer_wine) and "Sim Mommy-To-Be Modelling Agency" (hosted by the amazing Sweetdey26) participant, not placing in either, but enjoying every minute of them anyway.


ANTM

Mommy-To-Be

Between contests, Benji met "The Bachelorette: Virgin Islands" contestant, Xephyr Kostos and after a whirlwind romance, they wed and had their first baby - babies, sorry!:D. Not long after being eliminated from "Sim Mommy-To-Be" Benji gave birth to twin girls, Odyssa and Odessa (a nod to Xeph's Greek/Italian side - and his slightly unhinged mother).

Finally enjoying the quiet side of life, no camera's in their faces or poses to be pulled, Xeph retired from his job as a government agent and Benji worked her way up the education career levels.

Until a lil' surprise came along, named Athena! Now they're a happy family enjoying their last days as a complete family before the girls head off to college.

Behind Closed Doors: Caleb, Irina and Katia Rowe

Caleb, 39, and Irina, 34, have been happily married for the past 16 years. Caleb is the owner of a successful restaurant, while Irina is a part-time charity worker and devoted mom to their daughter Katia Rose, 15. While both Caleb and Irina are constantly in demand, they still manage to maintain a healthy family routine and spend plenty of time with Katia, their pride and joy.



Katia is popular at school, is head cheerleader and is running for Student Council; and with doting dad, Caleb, and dedicated mom, Irina, attentive to her every need, it appears that Katia Rose has the perfect life.

This is nothing more than a well constructed façade.

What no-one knows it that Katia is in the throes of anorexia nervosa, a dangerous and deadly eating disorder. While her father spends days and nights at the restaurant and her mother dines with the ladies at the club; Katia battles with a severely distorted body image and refuses to eat. On the rare occasions that her parents are home for dinner, Katia distracts her parents with talk of her friends, grades and cheerleading; her uneaten dinner goes unnoticed.

Katia spends hours criticizing and hating her body; looking in a mirror that reflects a myriad of inadequate parts that only she can see.



As Katia unwillingly wages war on herself, her body begins breaking. Her ribs slowly begin to protrude, as do her hip bones and her collar bones; dark circles form under her eyes and her organs begin straining from the effort that staying alive requires.

Unable to help herself and with no-one willing to notice, Katia could easily become one of the 10% of sufferers that succumb to death because of anorexia.



Luckily, Katia is only a pixelized representation of these sufferers. Please find it in your heart to give her a safe and truly loving home, and use her mother and father as you see fit.

Again, in your game, you are master. Will Katia seek help? Will her parents notice and intervene on her behalf? Or will it be too late?

It’s up to you.

Behind Closed Doors: Carolyn & Jamie Stanton

Carolyn Stanton, 29, and her daughter Jamie , 8, are as close as a mother and daughter can be. Their close relationship is greatly admired by the staff at SimCity Hospital; where Jamie spends long spells of time due to an unidentifiable illness. Her mother is exceptionally attentive to her every need, spending every hour of every day with Jamie. Doctors and Nurses alike, applaud her for her dedication and commitment to her ill daughter.



Carolyn is the perfectly devoted mother and Jamie is fortunate to have her as a mother.

This is nothing more than a well constructed façade.

What no-one knows is that Jamie is one of the invisible victims of a Munchausen By Proxy perpetrator; her mother Carolyn. This means that Carolyn is responsible for the unidentifiable illness that Jamie suffers from; as in an effort to receive admiration from professional peers such as doctors, Carolyn induces sickness in her daughter using various abusive methods.



This results in Jamie being subjected to numerous tests, medical procedures, even surgeries, which are completely unnecessary and only serve to investigate a physical illness that is not present. All the while Jamie stays silent, trusting that her mother knows what is best for her, never considering that it could be her ‘protector’ that is the cause of her pain.

Sadly, perpetrators of Munchausen By Proxy (MBP) such as Carolyn, are rarely identified; resulting in a 9-10% mortality rate amongst the known victims of  MBP perpetrators.



Luckily, Jamie is only a pixelized representation of these victims. Please find it in your heart to give her a safe and truly loving home, and use her mother as you see fit.

Again, in your game, you are master. Will Carolyn seek help? Will she repent and become a true mother to Jamie? Or will Jamie find a loving family prepared to truly care for her?

It’s up to you.

Behind Closed Doors: Mr & Mrs McCallum

Matthew and Andrea McCallum appear to be the perfect couple. Matthew, 27, is a manager at the local supermarket, while Andrea, 23, is a sales assistant in a boutique. They were married three years ago in the company of their closest friends and family. Both are considered to be beneficial members of their community. With their mortgage under control, they plan to start a family soon.



They are perceived as the epitome of domestic bliss in their small community.

This is nothing more than a well constructed façade.

What no one knows is that Andrea is one of the 5.3 million women that experience domestic abuse. Her husband Matthew controls her comings and goings; dictates her habits and is responsible for the bruises that taint her body.





Luckily, Andrea is only a pixelized representation of these women. Find it in your heart to give her a safe home and to use her husband as you see fit.

In your game you are master. Will Matthew repent and be a better man? Will Andrea escape his grasp and live a fulfilled life without him?

It’s up to you.
