[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.

[i]"So, Templar, what's your name?"[/i]

Edited by CPU Purple-Heart: 6/18/2016 5:16:54 PMHe raises his right hand, signaling for Traliks to wait for a bit. He then lowered his hand after about half the bottle was empty, and pulled the bottle away from his lips, the helmet sinking back down to cover his face. He then takes a very deep breath, and says, "Aethald. Aethald Shrios."
-
[i]"Well then, Aethald, good to meet you!"[/i] He chuckles.
-
"Pleasure to meet you, Traliks!" The man grins behind his helmet, finding the Kell's company rather pleasant - though that was not the only reason as to why he grinned. He also remembered his booze back at the General Quarters.
-
[i]"I suplose you're not the only imperial on board, are you not?"[/i]
-
"No, no, no, no. By far not. I arrived in a drop pod, with a whole squad of Black Templars, but they were wiped out." He pauses for a bit. "But! There is a camp thing nearby. Basically every Imperial on this ship is there."
-
[i]"Great. Suppose I should drop by and say hello."[/i]
-
"It would certainly boost morale, I bet. Though we won a rather large battle pretty recently, so morale isn't really a problem."
-
[i]"Really? Shame I missed it."[/i]
-
"Nah, you would have ended it before I even got there, and that wouldn't have been any fun!" He chuckles, the booze starting to kick in.
-
He had heard mechanical noises behind him, and a hissing sound that seemed like gas being released, and he turned to go to the noise He discovered a fallen captain with a blue banner upon his back, replenishing his ether levels, and not paying attention to you as he did so
-
[i]"Hmph. Another fallen, then."[/i] The former Kell noticed his banners. [i]"What house? The wolves? The exiles?"[/i]
-
He didn't look up, only finished what he was doing before he spoke [i]Graxian was once upon a time a wolf, but things change indeed..."[/i]
-
[i]"Hmph. I remember wolves... not the best at parties."[/i] He chuckles. [i]"Strange seeing someone like you here."[/i]
-
[i]"not as strange as seeing a kell of a dead house, in the most desolate of places...." [/i]
-
[i]"Kell... haven't been called that in a long time."[/i] He chuckles.
-
[i]"It is no small wonder. Your banner is one of which I have not seen in my lifetime..."[/i]

[b]Lea watched from the desolate and cracked roof of some nearby building, one knee up to her chest and another dangling from the side. She was a scantily clad suit of armor like usual, with her legs and midriff exposed. She had split up from Lucien awhile back, moving on her own and exploring from the shadows... But this, this was new. Comparatively, everything was new onboard the Bloodwrath, but she had seen anything like him in awhile. But... She'd keep her distance and follow him... Maybe he had some useful information or a secret place... Or maybe she was risking her safety for no god damn reason... But, for now, she would just watch.[/b]
-
The large being, about twenty feet in height, Swaggered along down the corridor, weapons well in hand. He seemed to be carrying their weight with relative ease. His muscles were very well defined, on each of his four arms and his two legs. He didn't wear much for armour, plates of Space Marine gear covering vital spots. Parts of his chiseled abs were revealed as well.
-
[spoiler]HOLD THE -blam!-ING PHONE! Around twenty feet?! This -blam!-er towers above all! Especially my Aethald, who's only... only... uh... S-Six feet tall.. I -blam!-ed up, I know. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]hue[/spoiler]
-
[b]She smirked... Quite the creature. But curiosity wasn't exactly her fortè, and massive men with multiple limbs and eyes meant either trouble or benefaction... And the latter seemed unlikely. She hops down from the building gracefully, following in the shadows and dark alleys to keep up, but stay concealed.[/b]
-
He walked in circles it seemed, often times looping around the same corners, to end up in the same place. After a few loops, he stops completely. [i]"I thought it was me you were following."[/i] He smirks. [i]"You're good at hiding yourself from view, I'll give you that."[/i] He stood back, arms open, then pointed at his nose. [i]"only problem though. Your smell."[/i] He then pointed at his brain. [i]"your soul."[/i] He pointed to his eye, the one with a scar over it. [i]"Aand I have bionics. But, I will give you points for a very good effort. So, come on out! Let's have a chat. I won't hurt you. Unless it's a fight you're looking for."[/i]
-
[b]She steps forward, looking up with a mischievous smirk. Height and muscle didn't mean much to a defiant heart-thief.[/b] [i]"Well, at least you gave a lost girl some credit..."[/i] [b]She says, clasping her hands to her chest and putting on an innocent pout.[/b]
-
He chuckles. [i]"Nice little trick. Now why were you following me?"[/i] He kept his weapons to himself. But he wasn't afraid to use them.
