Brief Author Bio:

Lykaios (Blue-Orange) has never done Nanowrimo before and is so cool she pronounces it nah-no-wree-mow because it sounds better in her opinion. :)
Lykaios spends far too much time on the computer when she should be writing instead and is soon to gte a laptop that will make her life . . . BLISS . . .
She works as a senior helper in a youth club and wishes she has a paid job because there is a distinct lack of Christmas presents in the back of her wardrobe. She likes Cadbury's chocolate and blue and orange are her favourite colours. The invention of the blue-orange itself was an accident -- ha, you can't sue me!
She owns the most amazing blue and orange hoody and finds little brothers annoying.
She would like to enter Nano next year, but next time she will do it on her laptop away from said annoying brother and idiotic mates.

Synopsis: For the Good of the Hood

‘You get treated like a dumb animal long enough, that's what you become. You may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember.’
Trumpkin – Disney’s ‘The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian’

In the middle of 21st Century England, the country is under huge threats of terrorists, economic collapse and social unrest. With public fears about hooligan youth attacks, a strict law made 29 years previously, has made sure that all youths from the age of thirteen to nineteen are locked up in government Youth Containment schools to be taught the values of adulthood. These schools are more like prisons though, and after so many years, rebellion groups are fighting back.

Alex Hoodley (nicknamed Robin) is a leader of the Old Nottingham 'Goody Hoodies' based in the ruins of the bombed-out city-centre. With other supporters, he rescues teenagers before the police come for them on their thirteenth birthdays and is intent on getting the law changed, by leading the groups of outlawed teenagers to do good things for the English public in secret, whilst being on the run from the police.

But criminal groups are on the rise and Aurelia, a world-wide terrorist group, are plotting a devistating terrorist attack in London and want something that has accidentally been taken into Hoodley's hideout by one of their agents.

Hoodley's brother John works for the govenment and protects the outlaws how he can, but an Aurelia squad turn up asking and threatening, about a virus key and the identitiy of one of the criminals ends up turning everything up-side-down as Alex is caught up in the past and a huge terrorist plot that echoes a forgotten history.

Remember, remember . . .
