[i][u]The Unsung hero.[/u][/i]
Deep within the ship, a sphere of violet energy bubbles up, releasing within it a warrior.
[i]For thousands of years, he had wandered through this dark, grim Galaxy...[/i]
The shaded figure stood up on it's two large legs.
[i]And those thousands of years, he spent battling whatever the galaxy could throw at him. For every fight, a memento. For every army vanquished, a souvenir. For every enemy slain, redemption. Whatever the grim galaxy could push on him, he pushed back.[/i]
Slowly, he opened his four violet eyes, one of them being marked by a deep, searing scar. They scanned the darkness.
[i]He lived a life, once. Somewhere else, beyond this realm, this universe, this time. He was brought here against his will. But he wouldn't let that defeat him. If something had brought him here to destroy him... they had failed. It had only hardened him. Made him stronger.[/i]
The metal floor thundered as he stood up on his two heavy legs. Although milennia had passed, the man hadn't aged a day. He was stronger than ever, his muscles strong and lean.
[i]Eldar. Tyranid. Orks. Necron. Tau. Imperial. Chaos. He had fought it all. Sometimes alongside them. Sometimes against them. Never had he been thanked for his sacrifices. Some knew of him, of his legend. They had a nickname for him.[/i]
As he walked, he looked at his four arms. Two of them, made from Necron metal after having lost them in a battle. His arsenal varied, containing trophies taken from his enemies. From space marine armour, he had made himself new protection. From the Tau, he had taken ranged weapons. From the Imperial Guard, he had taken heavy weapons. From the sisters of battle, Inferno weaponry. From the Eldar, Mighty witchblades, and their strange eldritch magic. From chaos, psychic powers had been gained. From the Tyranids, the pincer of a Carnifex was shaped into a sword. And that, only to name a few.
[i]His body carried the scars of his long life of battle. But a life that never ended for him.[/i]
On his back, he wore a long, torn purple cloak, with a hood. It was once the banner of something. The only thing he had maintained from his other life.
[i]His nickname was given to him by his ability to wield any weapon for any situation, regardless of the matter. He always had something for everything always an ace up his sleeve.[/i]
They called him the Jack of All Trades. Traliks, the Fallen.
His eyes quickly settled to the darkness.
[i]"Hmm... a ship... ancient."[/i]
His English was without a flaw. Many years of practice will do that. He sniffed the air around him.
[i]"Hmph. Chaos. And by the size... this is definitely the bloodwrath. I don't know what Satirus wants with me, but he will only have dead lackeys to pay for it."[/i]
He grabbed his weapons.
In one hand, the lower left, he carried a Daemonhammer, weapon of the Inquisition. Thanks to his superior strength, he needed but one arm to wield such a weapon. In the lower right hand, his automatic heavy shotgun. How this ork weapon even functionned or held together, Traliks had no idea. But he had come to learn not to question Gork and Mork's mysterious ways. After all, it was thanks to it that he could carry all of his equipment.
In his upper right hand, a mighty Singing spear, an eldar double-headed lance and battleaxe, with its two split heads on each end.
And in his upper left, a Tau Ion Cyclic Raker. Devastating weapon against any foe.
Wandering the depths of the ship, Traliks, standing around the height of a primarch, his hooded cloak trailing behind him, expected anything to come at him.

[spoiler]hue. I invalidated food. Didn't touch the others, dude.[/spoiler] [i]"Other than that, what have you found around here?"[/i]
-
"Weird tech, people, some who need help, others that want to kill me, weird places too, places where physics, and the laws of reality don't apply."
-
[i]"Ah, yes. There's a lot of those around here..."[/i]
-
"You're telling me. What are you doing out here?"
-
[i]"Fighting evil. Taking things and putting them in my back. Passing the time, my friend."[/i]
-
"So the same as me? Well, it's nice to know there's other people out here who can handle themselves and aren't relying on me to get them of here."
-
[i]"well, a lot of people can. They just don't find the amusement in adventure, it seems."[/i]
-
"It isn't all bad, you'd be surprised how many women get trapped out here. Not a bad way to meet women."
-
[i]"Oh, not for me. I already have my woman."[/i] He smiles. [i]"Although many have indeed tried."[/i]
-
"Good for you, means I got a better shot."
-
He chuckles. [i]"Good luck, friend. Hopefully you find yourself a nice damsel in distress."[/i]
-
"It's only a matter of time. Hey man good luck with whatever obstacles are in your future. And if you need help, I got you covered."
-
[i]"Same goes for you. If you ever look for me, just remember to call the Jack of All Trades."[/i]
-
The marine nodded and went back to his search.
-
The Fallen, after a while of walking through dark, spooky hallways, eventually heard shuffling footsteps from a dark, pitch black doorway, the only thing being seen being two red LED lights, at around seven and a half foot off the ground. Something was walking in the darkness.
-
The former Kell sniffed the air. [i]"Hmm... Space Marine. And Black Templar, at that..."[/i] What the templar could see, on his end, were four violet eyes, looking at him. Walking towards him.
-
The two lights seem to shine a little bit brighter, as if the man was getting a bit curious. Curious about this strange creature's weapons, and the strange creature itself. "Mhm... And all that with just a sniff? Impressive... So, what may you be?"
-
The creature stood at about twenty feet in height, staring down the marine. It's skin was white, except for the two grey metallic arms. He wore space marine armour pieces combined with patches of other armour. Although it seemed makeshift, it offered unparalleled protection. Through the spots in his armour, the knight could see the bulging muscles of his arms and legs, and his chiseled abs. [i]"I am Traliks, the Jack of all trades."[/i] It was a legendary name that the Black Templar recognized. Many times, the stories of the Jack of all Trades was told... of him stopping entire Ork Waaaghs!, destroying Tyranid tendrils, chasing chaos back into the eye of terror... his tales were often told amongst imperial guard to raise morale.
-
The Fallen toward above the man with about twelve feet. The poor guy had never felt so tiny. He opened his mouth in a silent "oooooooh", having to strain his neck to even be able to see the Fallen's face. "You're that guy, I see... Mhm, yes, yes, yes..." He fell silent, not really having said a lot. Mainly because he just didn't know what to say to someone like the Fallen in front of him.
-
[i]"At a loss for words?"[/i] Traliks chuckled heartily, patting the man on the shoulder. [i]"Don't have to be so formal, you know."[/i]

Edited by CPU Purple-Heart: 6/18/2016 5:00:47 PMThe man slowly exhales, his mind racing to just find something to say, eventually finding something, "Ooookaaay then, I mean, it's just that, y'know, you're... You. And that's pretty cool. So yeah." The man chuckles silently.
-
[i]"Here. Have this."[/i] He reached into his bottomeless bag, thank Ork magic, and pulled out a bottle of Eldar Wine. He handed it to the marine.
-
The man reached behind his back with his left hand, sliding his Chainsword, which he held in his left hand, into the makeshift sheath on his back. He then took the bottle with a greatful nod. "Thank you."
-
[i]"Hopefully it'll loosen you up into a conversation!"[/i] He chuckles. [i]"Say, what's your name?"[/i]
-
Edited by CPU Purple-Heart: 6/18/2016 5:14:40 PM"Hopefully!" He chuckles with the Kell, his right hand moving to the chin of his helmet, and lifting it up enough to show his soft pink lips, and his stark jawline. He also opens the bottle of booze with his left hand, and moves it to his lips, taking a deep swig.
