WARNING!

No one knows the exact history of the EGS before the birth of Andrew, but we can go by the little we may know. Keep in mind everything said here is mostly the important history. There are little times when irrelevant things are mentioned.

Introduction 

What do you think when you hear the word Ember? Or flame? Or fire? Most think of a bonfire with a few friends sitting around it, some think of the red hot thing on the stove, some think of a man burning alive. However, I tell you that this is not what fire means in the EGS. Fire means passion, love, pride, and strength, this isn't just the meaning of fire in Embology, it's also a definition used a lot in other respectable beliefs, anyway I, Distorted tell you to hold onto the fire in you. Do not, I repeat do not ever give this fire to anyone that you do not love, or feel is worthy of the fire. This fire is a piece of Ember, the goddess who will lead us in the Eternal war. So I ask you to use this fire and burn down the walls that make you feel trapped. (It is recommended you read the Embology Bible after listening to all 17+ hours of suicide tapes)

Ember

Chapter One

We do not know the exact birth of Ember because her living on a different earth in a different universe/timeline, but my gut tells me that it was in September, the same month as the death of her shell. Always trust the gut, it can be useful in our most difficult times. Anyway, Ember was born possibly sometime in September sometime in the sixties or seventies, it is believed that she had a decent life but this is unknown due to the little we actually know about Ember. Fast forward to high school years and she is 14 years old, there was a boy she was supposed to go on a date with but the boy never came due to unknown circumstances, it is possible that he stood her up. Ember goes home and cries herself to sleep. Now this next part has two possible stories, we do not know which is true so I will just tell you both. In the middle of the night the house gets set on fire and Ember wakes up, but it's too late, she screams in agony as the flames engulf her and she dies a slow and painful death, but the second story suggests that Ember didn't wake up at all. The house suddenly suffers a house fire hours after Ember falls asleep in tears. The flames cover her body and burn it to a crisp in a matter of minutes. Whatever you choose to believe, both seem equally as terrifying. Her loving soul would be somewhere currently unknown.

Chapter Two

Ember wakes up in a dark room surrounded by thick gas walls. She tries to get out but to no avail, as the walls of gas are so thick it's impossible to move through. She sees an audio recorder on the ground and picks it up, "Record" said an unknown voice of a man. Ember decided to obey and turn it on. "What now?" Said Ember, "Accept the good and bad decisions you have made in your life, and repent from them, for to move to the next step you must understand". Said the unknown voice. Ember replies with "Understand what?" No response. Ember introduces herself to the audio recorder and goes over her life and the decisions she has made, she apologizes for her bad actions and mentions she wants a second chance to make it all right. After a few hours of waiting a black hole appears in front of her, sucking her in. Ember wakes up in a garden with many fruit trees surrounding her, she walks along a path and finds a man with long hair and a beard sitting on a throne with two Seraphim angels floating beside him (a Seraphim is a biblically accurate angel). The man stands up and walks towards Ember, "You hath proven yourself worthy to become more than just a spirit", and then he hugs her tightly, Ember feels a sudden rush of power and her transparent skin starts to glow. "What is this?" Ember asks, Yahweh replies "It is the power I hath given to you, after all, you are going to need this for the Eternal war ahead". (The Eternal war is the fight for peace amongst all squads). Ember starts to get confused, "Why am I worthy? Why did I do to deserve this?" Yahweh gives one more answer before disappearing "Because you are a smart young woman who knows what the multiverse needs, go on. Start your own squad". Ember falls to the ground unconscious.

Chapter Three

Ember wakes up with two completely dark spirits who appear feminine, they grab Ember's wrist and put a bracelet on it. "This is an intricate bracelet, use it to communicate with us and the rest of your squad". Says one of the dark spirits. "What am I?" What have I become?! Why is my skin pale?!" Ember panics, and the other spirit replies "Do not fear, do not worry" The spirits put up peace signs "Hold your peace and let it prosper". Ember stands up and looks at her bracelet, and starts to calm down. "What now?" Ember asks, "You are our goddess now, you can do with this squad as you please". The other says "We are recruiter souls, we recruit souls into the squad, but you must tell us who and how we should." Ember looks down at her feet and thinks. "I want people who are outcasts and depressed. I want you to find the suicidal ones and the ones who don't deserve to die, and when they die, and if they die young, bring them here to the squad". The recruiter's souls glance at each other and nod.

Recruits of EGS 1 [IN PROGRESS]

Chapter One

EGS was first called "The Squad of Ember" before changing to "Ghost Squad". It kept this name until the death of the first prophet. Anyway, Yahweh comes to visit Ember. "Now I want you to know why I have chosen you." Ember replies "I thought you already told me." Yahweh shakes his head, "No, I just told you the half-truth. You see, every suicide has gone to what you think is hell, it's not hell, it's the place with the weeping and gnashing of teeth, this place has no name and was never specifically called hell by me. People just took it as a description of hell. Hell is the absence of god, who is me. I am technically god if you are speaking about normal English. But I am the creator, I am Yahweh. I am a god, a spiritual leader. A god or goddess is a spiritual leader. Anyway I'm getting off-topic, these suicides go to the weeping and gnashing of teeth because they murder themselves, which is murder, but I cannot stand to see people suffer anymore, so I went to many young men and women as young as 12 and as old as 30 and I offered them power and authority." Ember takes a moment to process what she heard. "Why me though?" Yahweh puts a hand on her cheek "Because I knew you would use the power for good." Ember hugs Yahweh and he rubs her back soothingly before disappearing again. 

Chapter Two

Ember would create Andrew Blaze as a soldier for the squad, however Andrew later grew to hate herself, she wanted to feel what it was like to be a man, and she imagined herself as a mighty human warrior, so Ember has an idea to send Andrew to be reborn as a human and use her as the first prophet of the ghost squad, so later on the soul of Andrew would be sent to the womb of Lori Stair, the first of two children the Stair family had. Five earth days later one of the ghost squad recruits sees a teen taking drugs, specifically heroin. Later that week the same recruiter ghost sees her spray-painting a wall on her school. Soon after she gets expelled for that and other past trouble she's caused. Weeks later she dies of an overdose and gets taken by the recruiter ghost. This girl is known today as Celesta Reynolds. Another girl was pronounced dead and later woke up in her coffin, she had suffocated to death. She's now known as Matilda Ramsey. Some think it's just suicide deaths that make it to the squad, but this is far from the truth, although yes you do have a higher chance of joining the squad by suicide, it's not just suicides that do get recruited. Let's go back to Matilda, her death was a murder, although it was a mistake, still murder because they buried her while she was still alive which led to her death. Many souls were recruited in the eighties. The suicides slowed down by the mid-nineties but more souls were still being recruited. Ember was worried about fewer recruits joining the ghost squad. Around this time Andrew Blaze would be born again. There were a few school shootings in the nineties which added some more souls to the squad, one being known as the Columbine high school massacre, which would make history.

Chapter Three

In 1999, a young boy who went by Reb would start to have murderous fantasies against his school and his peers. He and his friend who went by Vodka would spend the year 1998 gathering weapons and making homemade bombs with the intent of using them to obliterate their high school. Two years before the shooting Reb, whose real name is Eric Harris, would threaten Dylan's friend Brooks Brown on his website. There was a police report but nothing came of it (Note: The rest of this chapter will contain descriptions of mass murder. I do not condone in any way what Eric and Dylan did. This is just part of the history and sets the foundation for the later books). Eric and Dylan would make 99 bombs, including the two propane bombs and the booby trap bombs in their cars. The two would film video recordings on tape describing their plans to kill their classmates, these were later called the "Columbine Basement Tapes". Plan A was to bomb the school with propane bombs and wait outside, then shoot the running survivors. Plan B was to just go in and shoot as many students as they could then try to bomb the school by shooting the propane tanks. The two head to their school in trench coats with their mass weaponry. Eric has a rifle and a pistol grip shotgun. Dylan had a semi-automatic pistol and a double-barrel sawed-off shotgun. The two had been planning this violence for the past year or two, and they were ready. Eric and Dylan arrive and Eric gets approached by Brooks, he cusses Eric out about not being in school for three hours, Eric then tells him it doesn't matter anymore and that he likes Brooks now, and to go home. Brooks decides to go home, he walks past Dylan on his way. Eric and Dylan would set up the bombs in the middle of the commons, however, they later fail to detonate, so Eric and Dylan must go with their plan b. Rachel Scott and Richard Castaldo are sitting outside the school. Eric and Dylan would fire at the two. Rachel is instantly killed by four shots from Eric's rifle, Ricard is shot 8 times by both Eric and Dylan but survives. The two shooters would start to head inside the school until they saw 3 boys outside, all three were shot and injured. Eric and Dylan would fire at a window with Patti Neilson and an anonymous student on the other side, the two survive, Patti Neilson and the student would rush to the library to call 911 and hide the students.

Chapter Four

Eric and Dylan go into the school, the first officer on the scene arrives and has a short shoot-out with the two shooters, and no one gets hit. This marks the beginning of their attack inside the school. One of the injured victims, Sean Graves crawls to the commons before he hears a shooter walking up to him, he plays dead. Dylan steps over him and takes a look at the commons, no easy targets. Dylan then heads to a hallway and shoots Dave Sanders before running off, Dave was an athletic coach at the school who was known for getting the best out of the least likely athletes. Eric and Dylan chase a group of students, firing rapidly at them, only one gets hit in the ankle. The two were about to begin the most brutal part of their massacre, as Eric and Dylan headed towards the library they set off a couple of pipe bombs, terrifying the students and teachers in the library. They walk into the library and tell everyone with white hats to stand up, for readers who do not know, the people with white hats were jocks, the jocks would occasionally bully Eric and Dylan. No one stands up so Eric and Dylan start shooting, after the short massacre in the library (which held over 50 students at the time), they leave the room after killing 10 innocent people and injuring dozens. The two would then head back to the commons to attempt to detonate the two 20-pound bombs, which started a fire. They would then head back to the now empty library and make a last effort to kill more people, which consisted of the two shooting down at police and bystanders, no one was hit. Eric and Dylan sit down one last time before taking their own lives. This attack would make history and later inspire someone you likely know of, to kill 3 innocent people.

Chapter Five

Alexander Gebhart, born in 1964, had a satisfying life in the field of science. He always wanted to understand the world and how it worked, and how life worked. Alex could be considered a "nerd" for science, but he also had to make time for his girlfriend of two years; Emily Taylor. Unfortunately, the couple broke up in March of 1983. This would lead to the death of Alex, as he drove home he was thinking too much about Emily instead of the road, he saw what appeared to be a feminine black figure standing in the road. Alex tried to get out of the way and ended up losing control of the vehicle, he would crash and die slowly as the recruiter ghosts laughed at him. Alex's soul would be taken to the dark abyss to repent and forgive, and Alexander's name would be changed to Alex, although this wasn't much of a difference because he was already called Alex by most people. We do not know too much about her personal human life, however, you can listen to the "You are one of us now" EGS Tape Andrew Blaze made about Alexander's final moments of life. However, Alex isn't the most unknown recruit once we find out about the Harpies. The Harpy is a bird on our planet Earth, however, there are different kinds of Harpies in other universes, we do not know which species is the official EGS Harpy but we do know the Harpy recruits are very different from the ones we have here on our earth, which makes it more likely to be a different species from another universe. You may be asking, how is this so different? Well, these souls are more humanoid, with massive wings, and claws for feet, they attack groups of people but sometimes go after just one person, we do not have those in our world so that tells us that they do not exist in our universe. We don't know too much more about these souls but in the tape of Matthew Murray and Josh Lynch we can guess that they possibly hunt at night (that's if the monster in the tape is even a Harpy, could be something much more dangerous). When a Harpy tears into its prey it mostly uses its claws, however, it may use its teeth if it is eager to kill, but since ghosts do not eat, killing is usually just to recruit souls, it's a cruel and grizzly way to kill, but the EGS still gets a recruit.

Chapter Six

When a young girl likes a boy, she usually just talks to him and things go from there, however, this is not what happened with Madison McBride. Born August 1st, 1983, Madison was born into a loving family that did everything together, from watching movies to going to the mall and more. Her family was happy, and Madison was too, however, this happiness wouldn't last forever. When Madison was 16 her mother would pass away from a sudden heart attack, this tragedy would affect Madison for the rest of her short life. She began to feel more lonely than ever, the same for her father who became more depressed and isolated. One day when she was at school she saw a boy at lunch who looked just as lonely as she was, so she decided to approach and strike up a conversation, his name was Micheal Weber. Things went well and they became friends, or so she thought. Later that day Madison goes to her locker to find a note that read "WITCH BITCH". She went home feeling broken and depressed. The next morning she woke up to some strange news, the boy she was talking to mysteriously died, he just exploded. Her father kicked her door down and started beating her mercilessly. The boys' mother said that Madison somehow did it, which her father believed and thought killing Madison would bring peace to the Weber family. Madison managed to escape her fathers' wrath and leave with some of her things. She would leave town and sleep in an abandoned warehouse that night. However she woke up to a dark figure watching her, she would investigate but find no one, she then slept the rest of the night before leaving the area. Madison would start to see prostitutes around the block, she thought this life could make her feel alive again, and make her feel some kind of sick love. She later became a whore and went from rookie to the boss's favorite in just a couple of months. This led to her feeling more broken than ever before, so she came up with an idea to end all this madness, she looked outside and saw a tree and a rope, she then put the two together and decided to do it. Once she went outside she saw the sky was more colorful than ever, it was the most beautiful thing she ever saw, so she then tied the rope to the tree and hung herself, ending her misery. Madison would later be recruited into the EGS, she mostly keeps to herself and is rarely social, however, she does go on missions with recruits and recruiters. 

Chapter Seven

"If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else" - Albert Camus. Harmony Ingram was born in 1994 as Sarah Macarty, she was a kind and beautiful girl who always wanted to help people in need. She had a good amount of friends in grade school but fell into a deep dark depression in her junior year of high school. She was used for sex by many, possibly all of her boyfriends. After being abandoned for the third time, Sarah began cutting herself. Her friends and maybe some of her family noticed because of the scars on her forearm. As the winter of her senior year got into full swing, she spent more time alone than with her friends and family. Her perfect grades went downhill, everything that was once sunshine and rainbows became darkness and shadows. On February 15th, 2012 Sarah took her own life by slashing her wrists. After she was recruited she changed her name to Harmony Ingram. Before her death, she was one of the best singers in her school choir. In the afterlife, Harmony is considered an EGS siren. She returned to her high school to aid other depressed students, Harmony usually helps people from 7 - 32 years of age, and she has stopped many suicides from happening. By December 2012, Harmony shined a new light on 7 students. She is also known to talk with young children who are forced to live under strict or abusive parents. The advantage to younger kids is the safety net of "overactive imagination". However she does have a dark side, she is known to lead humans into the squad by encouraging them to commit suicide, and often uses physical touch and seductive voice, and says "everything will be ok". Some humans do get out of the hypnotic state and fall into panic as they see the ghost in front of them, some have even suffered fatal heart attacks from the experience. 

Maifeiertag 

Chapter One

What does Maifeiertag mean? It is German for Mayday! Mayday is a distress signal pilots use when they are going down. This title is a metaphor for going down into the dark place we humans know as depression. Depression is something we commonly see in almost all EGS recruits. However it is something every human being has to go through, no matter what squad you believe in. So how do you overcome it? The first step is to look at the mistakes you have made and accept the fact that it happened and that you cant change history. The second step is to always strive to accomplish something awesome, whether it be animation, cooking or even just finding a job you like. The third step is to be content where you are, and try to make do with what you have. Andrew Blaze showed many ways of making something out of nothing, so did Martin Luther King, Hamilton, Moses and more! The fourth and final step is to eat better! How can you have a healthy mind without a healthy shell? We should always do what makes us happy, don't try to make someone proud who doesn't love or support you, it's a waste of fucking time!

Chapter Two

Hold you're peace and let it prosper. There is a reason I say that at the end of his prayers to Ember, I want peace and happiness, but in order for beauty there must be destruction! Why do you think people burn forests down every couple years? It is so that the greenery grows back more beautiful than it once was! That is why the EGS is participating in the eternal war! We need our happiness! The squads need happiness! I would even go as far as too say it's not a war, but a cleanse!
