Hey-o, everyone! Management, here. I’m excited to announce a new project: [i]Inde Universum[/i]! (From around the Universe) This series will be a collection of short stories featuring characters either we create, or you do (psst, leave your characters in the comments)! If the community enjoys them enough, they’ll be put in for a cameo in one of our Fanfics! All of them will be met by an unnamed, male hunter. (he's our narrator!) This series is a joint collaboration between Me, Fiji, and Zebra. Every 3 days, a new chapter will be posted. The setup will be: Management Fiji Zebra [Maybe Snarkii!] So, next week, expect a new chapter from Fiji! Now… on with our first character! Chapter Index: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/194154949/0/0 <=================> Did you remember your old life? Well, I sure didn't. I still don't. You wake up in a plane one day, your mind blank as a brick, and your ghost yellin' at you that you're about to die. Well, that may have just been my start, but it sure feels like everyone had that experience. Stuck sliding over a cliff in a plane wreckage. Entire thing, just- [i]shifting sideways[/i]. Cabal banging on all sides. I still have no idea how I got out of there, but there was a flash of white and gold that pulled me out. Come to think of it... I think it was a woman. Looked like a... what do they call em'? Ah, yeah. Astronauts. I'm probably getting that wrong, but who cares? That's a story for a different time. Oh? You want to hear it? Well... I don't know about that one, but I could tell you of some of the other guardians I've met on my travels, could I? ========================= I was fighting in the crucible one day, clash, when a Striker just comes along on the enemy team. She didn't even have a weapon! just going around, jumping into the air, backflipping, and kicking us in the face! Her legs' armour had glowing blue gems that extended into swords when she ran fast enough. I was holed up in a window when I saw her jump off a warlocks head, punched another floofer once, then spun around and put all her force into smashing him into the ground. A sunbreaker swung his hammer in an attempt to take her out, but she backflipped above him and broke his back! I tried taking the shot, but she- I dunno, it was like she stopped time! She completely dodged the bullet by leaping into the air- hovering, even- and spinning there. Three times! When she landed, she was gone! Next thing I know, she's behind me and I'm falling to my death! The next round, she leaped into the room my entire team was cowering in. She crashed in through the window and punched the sunbreaker dead in the mouth. Hey, he had his helmet on, but I heard that crack, okay? She kicked a pipe up from the ground and smacked one of the warlocks. He fell, and then the next one did. I was all that was left. I started backing up, of course. Her shiny, white armour reflected the sunlight beaming through the boarded windows. She stopped, and spoke. "Hey." She said, her metallic voice piercing the air. "You look familiar." I was a really dumb son of a bitch back then. Didn't even wear a helmet in the crucible. I thought it helped me make a more precise shot. Hah! Such a dumbass... Anyways, I was stuck in my scared state. (I know, I needed to work on that) "You look like someone... Mitch, right?" She took off her helmet. Her black, matte casing didn't reflect anything. Her antennae clicked, and extended over the top of her head. I sputtered. "No..." "You're not? Hm, I just guess you remind me of someone from my past." This intrigued me. I wanted to ask her what she meant by past, but... heh... I was still struck dumb. "Ah. Welp, seeya. I'm gonna leave the match before my teammates start hatin' cuz I took all the kills. See you around." She leaped on me grabbed my chin, and the back of my head. "Before you get all confused wonderin' who this is, the name's Rosaline-5." She winked. And, with that, she broke my neck and left. ========================= Heh, heh. She was an odd one. To this day, I haven't seen Rosaline again. I wonder if she's okay, but... that was four-hundred years ago. Her matte black casing really intrigued me, you know? Never seen anything like it. And, y'know, I've got dozens of stories of Guardians with special abilities. Oh, did I tell you of the chubby, Exo titan who saved those children? Um... what about the cocky hunter who killed a legion of devil fallen, single-handedly? Or the warlock who never revealed herself, until that fateful day? Heh, heh. She actually made lots of breakthroughs in glide technique. Got nicknamed 'Floof'. You've never heard of them? I guess that's common. Word is they don't even remember their own names. Huh, well I guess I gotta tell ya, now...
