i dislike using threads but i suppose i should be a teensy bit more flexible. on the off chance that i do, this is just a place to test stuff. nothing you see here is 100% originally mine because i suck at code and i ask people for help fixing whatever i make. i also alter codes, which means they were never mine to begin with, and i will always ask before doing so.


i need help


to better my spidey senses (with divs, mostly)

flex box

display: flex || can be flex-direction of row or column
great for putting things side by side. or if need be, one after the other in the same column. spec was right, this feature is the bomb. flexes need to be in each div, and need a number value because sizing works on a fraction based system thingamajig.


margin

margin: left | right | bottom | top | auto
best used to fiddle with the spacing around a div, ie, lift it up, push it down, etc; idk if that's the actual use but that's what i use it for. property of 'auto' is used to center align the div box.

    bes || an egyptian dwarf god of war who is also the patron of childbirth, home and humour.

    abilities
    summoning portals ; a master of teleportation thanks to being host to the egyptian god bes. it proved to be a good tactic to surprise the other side during war times back in the days
    war tactics ; though he isn’t capable of doing much physical damage with most weapons, he is a skilled tactician because of the god he is host to.
    additionally ; the god bes can give him divine power at a limited use — all russ has to do is say ‘boo’ and he can literally turn monsters in front of him to dust. of course, this works best when he’s outnumbered by monsters with no way out.

    growing up wasn’t easy for someone like russell. he was the odd one out in his family, born with a condition that made him too obviously different in a time where difference was viewed as a bad thing. russell’s two older brothers were both big, brave warriors, chosen as hosts for the war gods ares and his roman counterpart mars respectively while russell ended up being the joke of the family, being selected by a god of war as well, but an egyptian dwarf god of war.

    he’s only ever had a good relationship with his mother, because even though he is very caring and compassionate, the rest of his family — his mother excluded — are not. russell, though fascinated by wars and fighting, took more to leaning about them instead of practising them. he gained a better insight on battle strategy and outdid both his brothers when he attended bainbridge, despite being bullied his entire time there.

    he was favoured by quite a few teachers, who looked past his genetic condition, and they saw a lot of potential in his intellect, as well as his calm, caring nature, and so as soon as he graduated from the school, he was offered a teaching position to impart his knowledge and help future students. russell was more than happy to do so, and his life slowly started looking up. some people — students and teachers alike — still treated him with disrespect, but with changing times, the number of people looking down on him reduced, and russell’s confidence grew, with him using his intelligence to bite back at anyone that dared try to mess with him because of his condition.

    as a teacher, russell is witty, and excellent at making his classes as exciting as possible, so his students don’t get bored, and he is very approachable outside class as well. to all, russell is now a man who’s intelligence can hardly be rivalled by many others, but at the same time, he is someone students can look up to, for all he has faced, and he always gives the best advice.

    abilities
    sorcery ; a master all kinds of sorcery since she has picked up on many things over the years. she’s got a lot of tricks up her sleeve and won’t condone mischief in her class.
    shapeshifting ; she doesn’t really use this ability, but she does have the ability to change parts of her appearance at will. usually, every school term, circe likes to switch it up and look like someone different.
    additionally ; she has a lot of knowledge in terms of herbs and other necessary ingredients for spells and is able to recognise them all with one look.

    description
    circe has been around for a long time. growing up, she was always fond of magic and sorcery, and always looked up to the greek goddess hecate as a guide. she learned various spells and hexes from books, and from her mother, who was also fond of the practise. circe was only a teenager when her mother passed, and in the most brutal way, by being attacked and used by a group of men who left her to die.

    circe used what knowledge she had of magic to find them and curse them. men were pigs, and deserved to live as such, so they were turned into pigs, and used for slaughter. not a very pleasant tale.

    the goddess hecate observed this, and admired circe's talent, despite being so young. she helped the young woman find her way, and become more adept in the art of magic and sorcery. circe travelled, continuing to use her magic for good and against bad people -- specifically for turning bad men into pigs -- till she eventually settled on an island. when pirates crash landed on her island, she would help, unless she was given reason not to. anyone that showed her, a woman, disrespect, or disrespected her servants in any way, were punished and turned to pigs -- till of course, keeping pigs became quite dirty and troublesome, and she resorted to turning them into guinea pigs, which was an easier solution.

    she spent a lot of time practising and learning new magic on that island, with hecate eventually granting her immortality, so that she may continue to do so for as long as she wished. when the gods had to sacrifice their physical bodies and claim hosts, circe was there, present in the fight against titans, but there was nothing she could do except help when a school was made to help humans learn how to thrive as hosts to the gods. she was sent to impart her knowledge and help the gods once more, something she was more than happy to do. circe was a firm teacher, but not an unkind one. and to make it easier, she changed her name to cece.

    patron deity/race
    centaur || a species with the upper body of a human male and the lower body of a hourse. chiron, unlike other centaurs due to his parentage, has the ability to shift his form between human and centaur.

    abilities
    knowledge ; chiron has immense knowledge over all ancient cultures and practises, due to how long he's been alive. he witnessed the war against the titans, being a son of one himself, and allied with the gods, because of his principled nature. he knows everything there is to know about gods, titans, monsters, prophecies and anything related to these things, though he is very selective of what he reveals to people because while knowledge is power, too much is a bane.
    archery ; all centaurs have a natural skill with a bow and arrow. chiron is no different, even if he opts, most of the time, to solve things without violence. occasionally, if the archery teacher is out or unavailable, he will fill in.
    additionally ; chiron, in his centaur form, is faster than any human, and most monsters.

    description
    chiron was sired by the titan king kronos, and abandoned by his mother at the time of his birth on mount pelion, in thessaly, due to how he looked. chiron was then more or less looked after by the god apollo, who raised him, and granted him immortality, since centaurs do not naturally have immortality. and since chiron was born of a titan, he grew up differently from his centaur cousins who were lustful, indulgent drinkers, and party crazy.

    in exchange for all that apollo did for him, the god sent chiron many greek heroes, so that they may be taught all chiron had learned while growing up. some of his notable students include achilles, hercules, jason, and actaeon. chiron has been alive for the longest, perhaps, aside from the gods, and has gained a lot of wisdom over the years, so naturally, his goal was to help the gods continue to grow, as well as helping the human hosts learn how to control themselves and be true to themselves along the way.

    chiron is a kind man, and only wishes to help and teach. there is never a time where you would find him angry. he's always calm, despite all the war and violence he has witnessed over his many centuries of being alive. eventually, at some point, to pose as human when necessary, chiron made a surname for himself, taking up the name thessaly, which was the region in which he was born.

    he owes the gods a debt, for being granted immortality and the chance to live when his titan father didn't want him, and he believes that he will continue to pay that debt for the rest of his life, something he had long ago decided that he would be more than grateful to do.

    appears to be in her mid twenties -- it is unclear how long it takes for a wind spirit to mature completely, but callie has been growing at a very slow rate, like all other wind spirits. it is why she appears the same now as when she worked for the wind god aeolus.

    gender

    sexuality

    patron deity/race
    venti/aurae || a roman wind spirit that once accompanied the roman wind god, or master of the winds, aeolus.

    abilities
    flight ; as a wind spirit, naturally, callie has the ability to fly. more often than not, you will find her floating the hallways. occasionally, she takes on her true form, which makes the bottom half of her body look like just smoke accumulated in one place, but this is only to help her float along better. amazing power in crowds. she just breezes through.
    aerokinesis ; callie also has control over winds and air, and so she can manipulate/bend the air around her according to her will.
    additionally ; callie is great at reading the weather. she can tell when it will rain or be a sunny day, and in certain instances, if her emotions take a toll, you'll notice a small stormy cloud following her above her head wherever she goes.

    description
    callie is the soft spoken and somewhat eccentric wind spirit that once served the wind god aeolus. she herself is a roman wind spirit that served a roman god, but she prefers to refer to herself as a greek wind spirit because romans, by contrast, are much more violent, disciplined beings, and callie is nothing like that. she was the most recent addition to aeolus' servants, and when the gods were cast off to have human hosts, callie was not sure what to do.

    she spent a while trying to pose as a human to pursue a music career, till the host of aeolus found her eventually and offered her a teaching position at bainbridge, so that she may continue to serve the gods if she wished to do so, while also teaching something that she enjoyed immensely.

    callie was more than happy to accept the offer because it beat having to be an assistant to the extremely busy aeolus. she joined bainbridge, formed her own orchestra, and has been working there ever since, helping in filling the school with music during all sorts of events.

    abilities
    nature manipulation ; as the god of the wilderness, being host to pan comes with divine authority over the wilderness and nature, meaning he can control all elements of nature, including plants, trees, rocks, dirt, etc.
    panic cry ; the cry of pan, that sends monsters rushing away with fear, if not immediately turning them to dust. all diego has to do is open his mouth, and pan gives him the power to emit a sound that radiates pure fear, sending monsters nearby into panic. it can affect humans/hosts as well, though not as much as it affects monsters.
    additionally ; since pan is the god of the wild, diego can use music (preferably, but not limited to, folk music) to get animals of the wild to listen to him and do his bidding. aside from this, he can communicate with animals quite well, and understand them.

    description
    diego was chosen as a host when he was seventeen, like all other hosts. before that, he never thought he would be led into this kind of life. he came from a big family that lived in a small home. all he ever knew was the inside of an auto shop, where he helped his father work with cars, right alongside his brother, and eventually, alongside two of his nephews and his sole niece. the auto shop was passed on to him, because his older brother (roz's father) didn't want it, and chose instead to take a job in business, to keep his whole family afloat. diego never married, because the only woman he ever fell in love with had been married off to someone else.

    he went to bainbridge like all the other hosts, and was selected because despite his reckless and troublesome nature, he had a passion for the environment, and he loved animals and being in the wilderness. he always did what he could to try and protect it, at least whatever was under his jurisdiction, and with pan now being hosted in him, he feels like he can do a lot more to provide for the environment.

    eventually, when he graduated from bainbridge, he wanted to help other students learn more about the mythical creatures he came to interact with and learn about. he realised that they weren't bad or to be feared, and his wish was for everyone else to feel the same. chiron happily offered him a position at bainbridge, so that he may impart this knowledge on students, and diego gave his auto shop up to his eldest nephew.

    it was not long before his niece, rosalin, was also chosen as a host, to the goddess artemis, which made diego glad because he knew she was the perfect candidate, and quite frankly, he doted on her. not wanting to show favouritism, he decided to keep an eye on her from afar, so that in case she was having trouble, only then would he step in. diego is loving his job at bainbridge, and he finally feels like his life is getting on track, even though his somewhat childish mannerisms haven't faded with time.

    description
    eden came from a rather rich household and as an only child. instead of growing up spoiled, however, eden, through school, was exposed to various fights for the environment, and she quickly became active in them -- though it is important to note that eden only ever took part in something if it was peaceful. violence was no way to solve anything and she was deeply against it.

    she rebelled against her father's law business, because they supported corporations that hurt the environment, and she rebelled further by stealing her father's money and using it to help various causes around the world, for both nature and animals.

    eden became a vegan, and strongly believed in sending a message to people so they understand what is happening to the planet that they're living on. this stood out to the goddess iris who believed that she was the perfect candidate for a host. and at the age of seventeen, that was just what eden became. she continued to try and help the planet, now with the added help of a goddess, and since there was no way she was going to inherit the family money for how much she rebelled against her parents, eden happily accepted a job teaching ancient dialects in bainbridge, when chiron offered it to her.

keeping this here for ref ;

A GUIDE TO WHAT THE FLEX A FLEX IS BY @Spectre of the Fade !!

Putting display: flex; in a div's tags turns it into a flex box, specifically a "container" aka a "parent". Every div you put inside that div (which are called "items" or "children") will do their absolute best to squeeze into a neat row. It's how I get the pictures and title text boxes in my sheets to sit like they do. ...well, more accurately, it's how I do like. 85% of the things in my codes. Here's an example:

There are two boxes. Without flex, this is what they do:


But with flex, here's what happens:


The code for that second one is ez, too. It looks like this:
[div=display: flex;][div=height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background: red;][/div][div=height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background: orange;][/div][/div]

Simple, right? Well, it gets a lot more complicated and cool, trust me.

Now, for that example, I set the width and height of my boxes. But the awesome thing about flex and the reason why I use it all the time is how you can set the dimensions with like a fraction based scale. Here's an example, which is gonna have a lot more to it than the last:
Right, so. display: flex; is a parent tag. There are many, and I'll link a thing that has all of them listed (along with some very helpful diagrams) at the bottom. There are also child tags - the most important being flex: x; which I'm gonna demonstrate right now. I'll take those boxes I used in the last example and replace width with that tag:

[div=display: flex;][div=height: 100px;
flex: 1;
background: red;][/div][div=height: 100px;
flex: 1;
background: orange;][/div][/div]

The flex: 1; tells the divs to take up a fraction of the available space. The fraction part is a keyword. The numbers you plug into the flex: x; tell the divs to take up different fractions of space. Since this example had 2 divs with a flex value of 1, the fraction is 2, so each takes up 1/2 of the parent div. Here's some more examples, with different values:
[div=display: flex;][div=height: 100px;
flex: 1;
background: red;][/div][div=height: 100px;
flex: 2;
background: orange;][/div][/div]
The fractions here are 1/3 and 2/3.

[div=display: flex;][div=height: 100px;
flex: 6;
background: red;][/div][div=height: 100px;
flex: 3;
background: orange;][/div][/div]
These fractions are 6/9 and 3/9.

[div=display: flex;][div=height: 100px;
flex: 7;
background: red;][/div][div=height: 100px;
flex: 8;
background: orange;][/div][/div]
These ones got 7/15 and 8/15.

[div=display: flex;][div=height: 100px;
flex: 1.2;
background: red;][/div][div=height: 100px;
flex: 3;
background: orange;][/div][/div]
You can use decimals! The fractions here are 1.2/4.2 and 3/4.2

But, you might ask, is there a vertical equivalent of flex: x; that replaces height instead of width? You bet there is. Add flex-direction: column; to the parent div and you've got it. In this circumstance, you'll need to set the width of the child divs in straight pixels or in percents.
[div=display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 200px;][div=flex: 1.2;
width: 100px;
