OH YEAH, IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER. And yes, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein are fully canon to my story canon. Moving onto Ellen, where the flip did the inspiration come from? Well, back in 2019 I heard about an obscure deity named Ellen of the Ways. I figured I'd base something off the concept. The other half of my Ellen's inspiration is drawn from Celtic Mythology.
So no, this Ellen is NOT Ellen of the Ways, but she is intended to be my equivalent of her. Want to know what the most annoying part of this whole process was? The Lore... do you ever feel like you are walking on a tightrope? Anyways, that was a lot of typing and a lot to read, but I feel it's worth it in the end. Besides... it's going to take me forever to write my stories and I feel I need to establish the lore when it comes up.
I'm not going to say too much further since I said a lot in the lore section. Oh yeah, I used a stock image as reference to draw this picture.
Why does this take so long? I started typing this out at around 9 pm... Hopefully this all makes sense. Side note: I really should do some more reading into Norse and Celtic mythology. Tell me what you think, as per usual.

So I feel I should comment on the new lore. No, the stuff about WWII is not a retcon. I was just being vague the first time around. In case you're wondering, yes, we will be seeing more of Lucifuge, Heinrik, and The League in due time. So yeah, Ellen does have more history than what I am describing. She gets around and has been in many scuffles, battles, and wars. WWII did finally tuckered her out though, hence why she moved to America after WWII. Why the TOG 2 of all tanks? You can thank RussianBadger for that one. AN ABSTRACT CARNIVAL OF PAIN.
Some things I want to clarify on the TOG 3 real quickly are:

Some things I want to clarify on the TOG 3 real quickly are:
- Yes, Ellen still has the TOG 3 to this day
- The TOG 3 can go up to 30 MPH and is twice as strong as the TOG 2
- The official story for the disappearance of the TOG 2 is that the Germans destroyed it in a bombing raid.
- This whole escapade with Ellen and the TOG 3 made Antares Briggs idolize Ellen and would inspire him to join the Liger Brigade when he got old enough. If you don't know who Antares or the Liger Brigade are, don't worry, it's an element of my canon that I will expand upon.
