Character notes for "A Celebration and a Consolation" Kallistos Family
These are the character notes for " A Celebration and a Consolation" showing the Kallistos family. See more of Keira's relatives.
Not all of these characters have been statted up yet, but here's the very extended family.
Kallistos family: 2 mothers, 6 kids, 2 grandmothers = 10 people
+ sperm donor = 11 people
Other Clancy relatives: 1 grandfather, Keira's 4 siblings, 1 wife, 1 husband, and 4 kids = 11 people
Other Rosenthal relatives: Donne's 3 brothers and 2 sisters, 3 wives, 3 husbands, 13 kids, 5 grandkids = 29 people
Total 51
Keira Kallistos -- Her children call her Mommy. She has fair skin, hazel eyes, and wavy red hair to her waist. She is a lesbian. Her heritage includes American, Britannian, and Irish. She is 35 years old in 2015.
Keira is the daughter of Dorcas (55) and Curt Clancy (57), daughter-in-law of Bernice (67) and Jojo Rosenthal (70), older sister of brothers Kevin (32, still in medical school) and Carlin (29, graduated from law school, works at a firm in Charleston), sisters Kate Rader (26, graduated as accountant, working in Myrtle Beach) and Christina (23, in last year of master's degree for Psychology). Keira is the wife of Donne Kallistos (36), sister-in-law of sister Cora (49, hairdresser), brothers Pace (47, sport club owner), Weston (45, truck driver), Nolan (42, construction worker), and sister Pippa Hammer (39, social preschool teacher); mother of Rose and Violet (13), Adam and Clayton (8), Agate and Ruby (4). They live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Keira wanted to study art in college; her parents wanted her to study business. They argued through the latter half of high school, and eventually -- after Keira's artwork funded her Get a Life trip -- compromised on a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts - Painting with a minor in Entrepreneurship from Webster University in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ironically Keira wound up making money both from selling art and from working at an art store, Beachfront Creativity. She does primarily beach and nature scenes, but also lesbian portraits, most often in watercolors. She is a good mother and a charming lover with a flair for the romantic. However, many of her older relatives are stuffy Christians who resent both her sexual orientation and her Paganism.
Qualities: Good (+2) Artist, Good (+2) Dexterity, Good (+2) Mother, Good (+2) Romantic, Good (+2) Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Poor (-2) Religious Conflict with Relatives
things from Sappho to call your girlfriend
just saw this on Tumblr and wanted to share:
ἀστέρων πάντων ὀ κάλλιστος (of all the stars, the fairest)
can confirm these are actually quotes from Sappho and not bs, albeit taken out of context.
k so i recorded this in case y'all wanna know what these sound like
transliterations: asteron panton o kallistos
The simple version of redhead genetics is that red hair is the most recessive color, which can be covered by black, brown, or blond genes. The more complex version is that sometimes the red gene peeks out, creating red tones in brown or blond hair, making black hair prone to "rusting" in the sun, or appearing in limited locations such as a man with a red beard but blond or brown head hair.
Family-relation nicknames are diverse. Large and/or queer families often need to differentiate these, so Keira goes by Mommy.
Myrtle Beach includes several gay beaches.
Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art with Studio Emphasis - Painting
at Webster University in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
The BFA in art with a studio emphasis degree familiarizes students with the rich tradition of the visual arts, provides them with an understanding of the tools and materials available to the artist as a means of personal expression, shows students that there are fundamental concepts which unify all art yet which allow for infinite variation, and introduces to them alternative ways of looking, seeing, finding and discovering. BFA studio art students explore a wide variety of media, gaining extensive studio experience and learning the techniques and expressive opportunities unique to each. A primary focus of the program is on students finding their own creative and conceptual voice, and discovering ways to visually communicate their thoughts and ideas.
BFA studio art students also more thoroughly investigate such potential in a single area of emphasis, from among those listed below. Students at this level learn within a more professional framework, where the relationship between student and teacher becomes that of apprentice and master. Through this unique teaching relationship, students develop a high level of achievement in an area of expertise, while further developing personal creative abilities. In this manner they establish a sound basis for significant professional accomplishments in art.
Students in the BFA program with a studio emphasis fulfill the same core requirements as for the BA in studio art. In addition, they complete 9 further credit hours in art history and criticism; 9 further credits in additional studio course distribution; 18 further credit hours in studio courses consisting of 15 from their declared area of emphasis and 3 in drawing; and 3 credit hours with the BFA thesis.
Areas of Emphasis
• Ceramics
• Drawing
• Electronic and Time-Based Art
• Painting
• Photography
• Printmaking
• Sculpture
Learning Outcomes
Successful graduates of the art with a studio emphasis program will be able to:
• Express an individual, creative voice through an artistic practice that engages with contemporary global art and design discourse.
• Implement the formal vocabularies of art and design as a foundation for artistic dialogue.
• Practice drawing as a means to develop ideas.
• Draw upon the history of art and design as a wellspring for ideas, solutions and meanings within one's own artistic practice.
• Analyze and discuss art and design through discipline- and emphasis-specific vocabularies and methods.
• Exhibit the potential for practicing art as a means of engagement and discourse.
By focusing in one of the following emphases, graduates of that emphasis program will also be able to:
Painting
• Demonstrate proficiency with painting mediums and materials, and their formal and expressive applications.
• Conceive of paint-handling skills as both material and process in an individual application to content.
• Practice an effective use of painting mediums and techniques in relationship to subject matter as an individual and relevant strategy for further development.
Special Requirements
All studio majors must register for ART 2900 DADAH Critique in the first semester after completing 18 studio credits. For traditional freshmen this will occur in the fall or spring of their sophomore year. For transfer students this will occur in their first semester at Webster, or when they have a combined total of 18 studio credits. The DADAH Critique is a review of student progress by DADAH full and part-time faculty held on one day during the fall and spring semesters. Following the review, students will meet with their advisor to discuss faculty concerns and recommendations as written on the evaluation form by the advisor during the review. In some cases a student may be advised to undergo a second review in the following semester. The department notifies students of portfolio review dates.
Students must apply for BFA candidacy by completing the BFA candidacy form and presenting an acceptable selection of specialized work. This must take place one year prior to graduation. Successful completion of a written application and submission of a selection of work that demonstrates a studio specialization, technical facility and conceptual sophistication are required for acceptance. Students receive either written notification of acceptance or a recommendation to continue pursuing a BA after review of the portfolio and application are reviewed by the faculty of the Department of Art, Design and Art History.
Candidates for the BFA in art with studio emphasis will designate a specific studio area of emphasis from those listed above and earn a minimum of 18 credit hours in that area.

Reciprocal IVF is when one wife's egg is carried by another wife. Parallel IVF is when two wives aim to become pregnant at the same time, typically each using her own eggs with the same sperm donor. The children of such parallel pregnancies are called half-twins; the term cross-twins is sometimes used when they don't share a sperm donor. If the recipient and the sperm donor also create children for the sperm donor to raise, those children may be called full-cousins, even though they are biological siblings of the corresponding offspring.

Reciprocal IVF is when one wife's egg is carried by another wife. Parallel IVF is when two wives aim to become pregnant at the same time, typically each using her own eggs with the same sperm donor. The children of such parallel pregnancies are called half-twins; the term cross-twins is sometimes used when they don't share a sperm donor. If the recipient and the sperm donor also create children for the sperm donor to raise, those children may be called full-cousins, even though they are biological siblings of the corresponding offspring.
The simple version of redhead genetics is that red hair is the most recessive color, which can be covered by black, brown, or blond genes. The more complex version is that sometimes the red gene peeks out, creating red tones in brown or blond hair, making black hair prone to "rusting" in the sun, or appearing in limited locations such as a man with a red beard but blond or brown head hair.
The first day of Spring is on Sunday, March 20, 2011. This day is also know as the Vernal Equinox, because it heralds the beginning of the spring season for Earth’s northern hemisphere.
