@Dawnblade right now everyone is on their way back to HQ after a mission, so I'd say some time shortly after that might be good?
What do you think, @KatherinWinter?

They're not LONG chapters; but the fact I've managed to right 2 meh and 4 half decent ones in 4 days makes me very happy with myself.

"I mean, you're talking to me now, so there's that." Argus offered pulling into the agency garage, "From my own personal experience, leaving the nest so to speak is generally for the best. You made the right choice, just need to have faith in your decisions and believe it's all going to work out."

Gonna be honest, not convinced a giant white lion is the best thing for a secret agency to have in the field. Sorta defeats the point of "Get the job done without drawing attention to yourself"
Like, personally speaking I love characters who let their giant apex predator pets do the fighting for them, but IMHO this isn't the kind of roleplay where it makes sense.

"Like I said, as long as I'm in my human form I'm pretty water resistant; and there's not a whole lot of water around for you to work with anyways." Argus explained, seemingly indifferent to the potential danger, "And I felt like you deserved an explanation as to why I was being a bit of a dick to you in particular while we were dealing with the demon. Anyways, we're almost back to base now. Before we get there, I figure I should give you some advice on the anger management; don't just bottle things up. Nine times out of ten when I blow up it's because I've been repressing shit instead of venting properly. Find someone you can talk to about what's bothering you instead of letting your anger and frustration build."

"That... could be a bigger problem for me than for the director, actually. Kind of uh... literally made of fire, you know? I'm pretty air tight in this body, but when I'm in my natural Djinn form getting wet can be a problem." Argus explained nervously, glancing over at Amaya "I'll try not to swap over when I'm around you just to be safe. That said, I've got anger issues myself. Used to get myself in quite a bit of trouble when I was your age."

"I know you're a water elemental, but you're different from the naiads of Greece like... the girl I mentioned before, who could also be called water elementals, " he shook his head, turning a corner as they neared HQ, "The important part is that you don't give up. Keep trying, and keep learning about the world for yourself. Just keep going until you can decide for yourself, not just because of the memories you inherited, if you think humans are worth the effort."

Argus is like WAY the fuck more enlightened than I originally planned for him to be and I honestly love him having that duality of warrior and philosopher.

"Man, I thought Djinn were weird but whatever breed of elemental you are takes the cake on that one. We just do this ritual thing combining our flames with the wood of a sacred tree and poof, there's a new baby djinn." Argus joked, "Speaking as something of an expert, you can't let other people's memories shape your view of the world. Memories are filtered through thousands of layers of emotions and experiences, they become distorted from what they were originally; especially when you're looking at someone else's memories and not your own. Let go of what you inherited from your... father element? However that works, and focus on your own experiences." he offered knowingly, "I've seen the lives of more people than I can count laid bare, still got a few of those memories floating around in here from when I was still learning how to perform our magic" he removed one hand from the steering wheel and tapped his forehead with a finger, "But I know those aren't my memories. They're pieces of another person's life, and I don't let them shape who I am. No matter how much of someone else is in your mind, you can never afford to lose yourself in the tide."
The Djinn sighed, shaking his head "Humans are... complicated. They are fascinated by the things they don't understand, and yet fear or hate that which is different." The senior agent gave Amaya a ressuring smile, "But they've gotten better about it over time, they're starting to accept things unlike themselves. We just have to keep fighting their battles for them, keep them safe until they're not afraid anymore."

@KatherinWinter Here we go, much happier with this version.
Appearance: A tall and well built man, standing roughly 6'4" and fairly muscular with short, unstyled blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Wears an ankle-length dark blue trench coat with two visible hip pockets and a number of concealed internal pockets and loops for storage of small items. Underneath his coat, Rost wears a black vest over a white long-sleeved button down shirt with a red tie, black slacks, and heavy work boots.
Name: Rost Smith
Age: 38
Species: Human
Powers:
Scrivening: Rost has spent most of his life studying ancient magical arts, with a particular fascination for runes and symbols. Through extensive practice and study of a grimoire dedicated to the subject, he has developed the ability to craft magical runes and enchantments by writing, drawing or engraving specific symbols into objects and creatures with specialized tools and incantations; allowing him to bind magic into them in specific forms.
These runes are powerful and highly versatile, but even slight damage will disrupt their power and undo their effects as the required symbols for runic enchantments are extremely precise. Though runic casting is low in mana consumption, the time it takes to create usable enchantments makes it prohibitively difficult to utilize in combat without advanced preparation, limiting the improvisational usage of the art.
Multilingualism: Fluency in the reading and writing of a number of ancient languages such as celtic, egyptian, and sanskrit.
Runic knowledge: Extensive photographic knowledge of runes, emblems, sigils, and seals; able to identify the origin of nearly any magical symbol, and given time devise countermeasures.
Equipment:
Taurus Judge revolver chambered in .454 Casull
Assorted .454 casull rounds engraved with focal runes to imbue them with arcane, divine, and infernal energy, allowing them to harm creatures resistant to mundane weaponry.
Set of engraving tools (themselves marked with runes of invulnerability, to protect them from damage)
Portable tattoo kit consisting of a battery powered machine and inks made from materials often used in more traditional witchcraft.
Several pairs of cheap, store-bought reading glasses. the lenses have symbols etched around their edges so that, when worn, the bearer can see things outside of normal human perceptions; such as incorporeal spirits.
Magic suppressing handcuffs (His own custom made pair, not the agency standard issue form)
Strengths:
Physical conditioning: Rost is in exceptional physical health as a result of a careful diet and training regiment.
Intellect: Highly intelligent and well educated in both mundane and magical fields.
Weaknesses:
Baseline human: No inherent special properties, he is not resistant to, nor especially weak towards, any elements; and has no special abilities beyond his training in runic magic.
Bio: Rost comes from a family scholars on both sides; those who have for generations sought to unearth and understand the lost secrets of the world. His mother’s side of the family is dominated by simple scientists who merely look for relics of ancient civilization and learn about where they came from. His father’s side of the family, however, has much older roots. Rost is the last and youngest member of a secret society of the occult, one which was founded in the 18th century to bring together the wisest magicians from every magical tradition so they could share knowledge and, as a group, further the study of magic while protecting its secrets from those who would abuse them.
The group dwindled over time, and when his father died Rost inherited what remained of their combined knowledge in the form of a grimoire of runic spells, with teachings from the Persian Magi, Nordic runemeisters, and Egyptian magicians.
Rost kept the secrets of his father’s legacy safe while studying them to keep their arts alive, simultaneously pursuing archeology in his mother’s footsteps to acquire further knowledge of the cultures from which the practices began.
He was recruited by the fledgling BOSA when his mastery of scrivening was discovered, and he came to work under their banner as a crafter of tools specially designed for their unique line of work. In that time, he has largely remained a member of the support staff and only recently acquired his field agent certification.
