My dad took pride in his writing, but he couldn't draw for shit. That didn't stop him from trying. His journals had a bunch of stick figures drawn in the margins. Silly little things, but they got the job done.— Captain Gregory Lambert

War Never Changes (Except on Taco Tuesdays)
The Urssal Republic and the Pearl Kingdom are at war. Territorial skirmished throughout the islands lining the equator escalated into a full-blown conflict. The war has been raging for five years by the time the seven members of Theta-Bastard-7 were thrown together. Neither side seems to have an advantage. The sheer numbers of the Urssal military ensures they can hold the lands they've taken, but the swift and precise strikes of the Pearl Kingdom's warriors make each advance a costly one. Theta-Basterd-7 eventually discovers a third-party plot that has serious implications for both sides of the war...
Full Metal Jacket Fairy Tale
Despite the war and violence in the world, there is still magic and wonder to be found. Of course, seventy percent of this magic and wonder is as lethal as a machinegun burst. Primordial energies circulate the planet and occasionally manifest as spirits. A small number of adventurous and inquisitive individuals are able to tap into these veins of energy and harness magic for themselves. Fewer still are able to sample the mysterious dark energy that spills from the eastern hemisphere. Because of their Urssal upbringing, the members of Theta-Basterd-7 are ignorant of the magic surrounding them. They are quick to pick up on it once it starts trying to kill them.
