[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]"Because you are a two story... Thing with four arms. That's pretty interesting if you ask me. Besides, you might have answers."[/i] [b]She says, putting her hands on her mostly exposed hips and continuing to stare up. She was brave for her size.[/b]
-
[i]"Answers? Well, it depends on the questions."[/i]
-
[i]"Well first off, how'd you get aboard? I want off. Second, do you have your memory or how you got here? And third, are you gonna hurt me for existing?"[/i]
-
[i]"No idea, Don't remember, And I would hurt a charming lady. Unless she wants to harm me. Then I won't hold back."[/i]
-
[i]"Uh... Hurt you? Do you know what a mirror is? I may seem small to you, but my brain is still big enough not to poke a sleeping bear."[/i] [b]She huffs, biting her lower lip in thought.[/b] [i]"Welp... Worth a shot."[/i]
-
[i]"Well, I can tell you what I was doing before being brought here. I was researching something called the Hourglass of Eternity."[/i]
-
[i]"Can't say I've heard of it, not in the slightest. Is it supposed to change time and stuff?"[/i]
-
[i]"That much, I have no idea. But I suspect it is behind us being here."[/i]
-
[i]"Anything that brings use closer to leaving..."[/i] [b]She raises her eyebrow.[/b] [i]"So what exactly are you? You aren't looking like a warp daemon..."[/i]
-
[i]"My race is called the Eliksni. We are not from this universe, we come from a different parallel one. Or, at least, that applies to me."[/i]
-
[i]"I'm sure that would make sense if I studied quantum mechanics."[/i]
-
[i]"Perhaps. But what is certain is that we're here, now. And survival is what we need to focus on."[/i]
-
[i]"Pffft. Survival Shmvival. I'm gonna be fine... And I'm not a team player sorta person."[/i]
-
[i]"Me neither. Haven't been in a team for too long. I lost my partner milennia ago... haven't found someone good enough to replace her."[/i]
-
[i]"Eh, I just split up from my partner to go explore... And keep him safe... But, I just need to get distance from him for awhile. Agh! I can't bother you with such shit. Well, where you headed big giant man...?"[/i]
-
[i]"I dunno. Anywhere fate takes me. And what about you? Planned on following me still?"[/i]
-
[i]"I can't keep up... And I'd probably get in your way... Unless you are good at carrying precious cargo."[/i]
-
[i]"Well, four arms come in handy. Are you supposed to be the precious cargo?"[/i] He chuckles.
-
[i]"Yeesh. Thanks for noticing."[/i] [b]She pouts and scrunches her eyes in mock frustration.[/b]
-
He laughs a bit. [i]"Well then, where would I escort this precious cargo?"[/i]
-
[i]"I don't know... This whole place is a uninteresting circle. Anywhere exciting to go, or at least half-fascinating?"[/i]
-
[i]"Well, I don't know much about this place, so you'll have to bear with me. I'm going where my nose guides me."[/i]
-
[i]"You can smell when something is exciting?"[/i] [b]She asks, incredulously.[/b]
-
[i]"Well, I can smell when someone is excited, and I can smell where danger is. And often times, danger proves to be exciting."[/i]
-
[i]"Uhm, woah woah, cowboy. I don't wanna deal with risky stuff. How about you call me when you find something interesting and I go find like... A dress or gun."[/i]
