Caster Character Biography
“I grew up alongside many brothers and sisters. Since they weren’t very rich, everyone had to work to make ends meet. He hated seeing his siblings suffer and so decided to learn the art of alchemy to earn a living. After just three years, his intellect and abilities surpassed even those of the world’s most renowned alchemists.
His talent was so great that he soon gathered a large number of admiring apprentices. But in a world without words, none of them could truly keep up with his genius. While he did his best to communicate through simple vocalizations and made-up scripts, these would mysteriously disappear as soon as they manifested.
“How can I transmit my knowledge without words? he was thinking. “There must be a way to break this spell that restricts our speech…” Determined to find an answer, he set off on his journey, his carefree smile masking a confident conviction.
As if guided by a divine hand, the spellcaster finally found himself standing in front of the Great Crystal.
The spellcaster is calm, collected and cool. He runs the Base Camp Workshop and is more than willing to lend you his assistance in creating materials usable for the Forge. Oh yeah, and his combat prowess is very useful and functional. It focuses on ranged attacks and blocking enemies, much like the Archer.

The Dusk Golem insider has assured that in the coming days or weeks we could have news about the different games in the Konami franchise
Konami confirmed the existence of the remake of Silent Hill 2 at the end of last year, in an event in which it showed the future of the franchise, which currently has up to 4 simultaneous developments by different studios. However, beyond some details that Bloober Team has been able to leave briefly, We haven’t had much information about the return of this classic of the survival-horror genre.
However, a new rumor suggests that we will soon have news regarding the franchise. According to information from the well-known insider Dusk Golem, also known as Aesthetic Gamer, a new trailer for Silent Hill 2 Remake and Silent Hill Townfall would arrive soonas well as Silent Hill Ascension, also taking the opportunity to offer some information about it.
The new trailer for Silent Hill 2 Remake would arrive really soon
According to the insider, the remake of Silent Hill 2 currently has fantastic art direction, something that has been really well received by both the user and the gaming community. And, in addition to needing updated graphics, Bloober team will also have to deal with bringing us an artistic section that is capable of emulating what this classic game achieved back in 2001.
Dusk Golem also provided information about the franchise’s other projects. About Silent Hill Townfall assured that, at this time, the game looks really interesting. We must remember that we have not been able to know much about this game, since when it was announced we only saw a trailer that did not give any clue as to what the game will end up being once we are at the controls. And finally, Silent Hill Ascension said that the game has fantastic graphics.
We will have to see how long we have to continue waiting to see a new trailer for Silent Hill 2 Remake and the rest of the franchise’s projects. However, taking into account the imminent celebration of the Summer Game Fest, it is very likely that in just over 1 week we will be able to receive some news about the Konami franchise, which was already the protagonist this week with the announcement of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Sneak Eater.
Bloober Team will use some of the mechanics seen in The Medium
Recent information assured that Silent Hill 2 Remake will not be a 1:1 copy of the original game. Although great respect will be shown for the work of Team Silent, Konami insisted that Bloober Team include some of the mechanics that we saw in The Medium, such as the technology of dual worlds running at the same time. It remains to be seen if this finally happens, or if it will end up being one of the many leaks that end up remaining on paper.
Android smartphones have a function to silence the ringtone when receiving a call or message. But as strange as it may sound, Android’s silent mode is far from easy to activate. Fortunately, the latest versions of Google’s mobile OS have a shortcut to activate vibrate mode or discreet mode in just a few seconds.
Just press a button to activate vibrate mode
Most people when they arrive at work put their phones on mute or vibrate. This action is repeated several times a day. However, the Android Do Not Disturb function (mute the phone) is difficult to access and is sometimes difficult to learn.
It is also not uncommon for some users to cut the volume of multimedia content on their phone thinking of activating silent mode. In short, the volume, sound and vibrator settings lack clarity on Android.
But since the arrival of Android 9, Google offers a shortcut button to put his device in silent or vibrate mode in less time than it takes to say it. But first of all, you will need to determine the version of Android installed on your device.
Open Android settings
Bring the window down
Press the system item
Click on advanced settings
Select the system update option
You will see the version of Android you are using in the window. If it displays the number 9 (or higher) good news for you. You can switch your smartphone to mute or vibrate mode via a combination of buttons.
Activate the quick setting to activate silent mode
Previously, to put your phone in silent mode, you just had to keep your finger pressed on the volume down button. This operation could be done from any Android screen including when the phone was locked.
Now, you have to press the power button then go down the notifications panel and then click on the corresponding icon. You can also press one of the volume buttons once and then click the bell icon to activate silent or vibrate mode.
But since Android 9 and later, it’s easier to mute your phone’s ringtone. To do this, just hold down the volume button and the power button for a few seconds. The phone automatically switches to vibrate mode.
The small rectangle-shaped icon with lines on the sides appears in the Android status bar to inform you that the ringtone is muted. It’s not more complicated than that. Note that it is possible to customize this key combination and use mute mode instead of vibrate mode.
Open your smartphone settings
Click on system then on gestures
Press the block ringtone section
Check the mute box
This feature will save you time on a daily basis. We just regret that this device only works in one direction. Once mute or vibrate mode is activated, you will not be able to use this key combination to reset ring mode.
You will have no choice but to increase the ringer volume manually. Pity. Another important point. This feature is not available on smartphones from Samsung or Sony.
Program the silence of your Android smartphone
How to deactivate the ringer of my phone or put it in vibrate mode at regular intervals? There are applications for this, including Silence.
This Android application allows you to silence your smartphone and modify system parameters more or less regularly. Concretely, you have to add events manually or directly use the Google calendar to activate or deactivate the ringtone, the vibrator, the volume of the alarm clock, WiFi, Bluetooth, airplane mode or even mobile data (data).
How it works ? To start, it is necessary to add an event, manually or not, and to choose the options. If it’s a meeting, turning off the ringer may be a good idea or turning it back on later in the day so you don’t miss important calls or messages.
Some options are not available on all versions of Google’s mobile operating system, such as airplane mode which is not modifiable on the latest Android 4.2 updates (Jelly Bean) and Google calendar support which is currently limited to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher.
In the same genre, there is also the Silent Time application which offers less functionality in an interface that is not as polished as that of Silence.

How to silence your Android
How to silence your Android? This is the question we will try to answer in this tutorial. Whether it is to stay quiet, or not to have the inconvenience of an exam, it often happens that you want to put your device on silent.

A box named ‘Audio profiles’ will then be available.
Click on it and you will see a choice for different audio modes on your Android. Select the silent mode and your Android will be in silent mode. Note that alarms and other emergency messages will always ring on your device, we will detail the priority modes in the following section.
Silence your Android with priority ringtones
Since the Lollipop version of the Android system, ringtones are now managed by priority modes.
Thus, someone who does not wish to have any ringtones at all, such as a speaker in an operating theater requiring silence who does not wish for noise, vibration or light from his screen, will have an interest in selecting ‘No priority’ or equivalent in this menu. Ring priority modes are available in the ‘Settings’ menu, available from the main screen of your Android. Once in this menu, you can go to the ‘Sounds and notifications’ menu, then to ‘Ringtones’. In this menu of your Android you will have the choice between three options.
No ringtone: you will have no vibration, no ringtone or even the screen that lights up.
Even your Android alarm clock and other alarms will be disabled.
With this mode, your Android is completely silent.
‘Priority’ mode: with this mode you deactivate all ringtones, except alarms and other notifications.
This option is very practical for turning your Android into an alarm clock.
‘All’ mode: your Android’s silent mode is then deactivated.
Put silent mode in programmatic mode on your Android
It is also possible to program silent mode on your Android. To do this, go to the ‘Priorities’ tab of your smartphone as in the previous paragraph. In the lower part of this screen you will then have the choice to program a priority at a given time.
This is very practical, for example, to automatically program an alarm mode on your Android before bedtime.

As part of the annual Famitsu New Year’s messages, Motoi Okamoto, main producer of the Silent Hill series, also spoke. Okamoto’s key word for the new year is “delivery” and he confirms that 2024 will be the start of new Silent Hill game releases.
The producer’s ambition for 2024 is to further expand the Silent Hill series with both games and other types of media. Motoi Okamoto mentioned the November 2023 release of the interactive streaming project Silent Hill Ascension as one of these types of non-game media for the franchise.
Konami originally announced production of three Silent Hill games and two non-game titles for October 2022. Silent Hill f is a new main installment in the franchise developed by Neobards Entertainment and written by the author of the sound novel series “When They Cry” Ryukishi07. Bloober Team is developing the “Silent Hill 2” remake for PS5 and PC in collaboration with artist Masahiro Ito and composer Akira Yamaoka.
Konami is also collaborating with publisher Annapurna Interactive and “Observation” developer No Code on the upcoming “Silent Hill: Townfall.” None of these projects have a release date yet. If you believe Okamoto, one or two titles are likely to be released this year.
With the live-action film “Return to Silent Hill”, another multimedia project for the franchise is coming up, for which director Christophe Gans is responsible. Gans previously directed the first live-action Silent Hill film.
