"Your army grows by the second!" Ludi smiled as his eyes fell upon the silent falcon perched within its cage. He listened as Stefano detailed his exact hunting method, nodding here and there as he described just how well-trained his pets can be. When the gambling noble finished, Ludivico gave himself a moment of contemplation before weighing in, arquebus still in his hands.

"...Just try not to pull in more then we can handle. Any objections?"

"You've a good system set. We'd do well not to disrupt it the night before we're put to the test. However, what we face are no ordinary beasts of the hunt. They've an intelligence close to man with regards to the battlefield. You'll be the better set of eyes surveying the landscape before me. If you sense a flank or doubling of enemy forces, signal me, as I'll do the same, and we'll reposition ourselves for a proper riposte." The weapons returned back into the hands of their original owners. Stefano wished for a toast to this new partnership, and Ludivico couldn't agree more. He chuckled as the man asked if he carried any liquor.

"I may not be a rum-drinking pirate anymore, but old habits do die hard." Ludivico reached for a bottle in his traveling pack and uncorked it. The smell of spiced caramel filled the air. "To new brothers in arms. May Ristoth keep our wits about us as we step feet first into the blight of our lands." Ludivico gave one jolly swig and passed it to Stefano.

"Gold Pyre, that brand is. One of many gifts I received from a Consiglieri's wife." He laughed as the warm drink lit up his throat and comforted his belly.

Gigantic Proto Zoalord Murakami

"I'll send you to hell even if I have to drag you there myself!"

Masaki Murakami

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Race: Human-Zoalord

Faction: Earth Defender

Personality: Murakami is a smooth customer even in the face of impossible odds. Topics like political and corporate corruption, especially when it disenfranchises less fortunate people, rile him up, but he's a fairly laid back person otherwise. That's a far cry from his more aggressive demeanor back in the day. The rage of being a victimized test subject no longer consumes him; the epic conclusion that left his captor's demise in ruins no doubt attributing to that.

History: Masaki Murakami was a freelance journalist for a maverick news company. He traveled across the world to exploit corrupt politicians and corporations. One of those corporations was called Cronos, a shadowy organization that had an alien council of Zoalords, whose agenda was to ultimately control the world by turning humanity into biologically engineered creatures.

In the midst of his investigative journalism, he was kidnapped by members of Cronos and taken to their headquarters in Arizona. Scientist there conducted a series of experiments on Murakami in an effort to produce something they've never attempted before: A human Zoalord. Through trial and error, they were able to implant a zoacrystal on his forehead without catastrophic results. However, there were traitorous scientist attached to the project planning to sabotage Cronos operations.

They managed to help Murakami escape captivity, taking him into hiding, where he networked old contacts and assumed a cover as an anonymous journalist. The years that followed became a restless endeavor for Murakami as he was fully engaged in a war against Cronos. Aligned with like-minded activist, they managed to successfully destroy the corporation, along with its alien Zoalord rulers.

During his stand off with Cronos and the Zoalords, he underwent another experimentation. The resistance needed more powerful weapons, and though they had them in the form of enhanced bio-booster armors like the Guyver units, it was not enough to take on the powerful Zoalords. Thus, Murakami and a team of scientist found an old alien research ship at the bottom of the ocean. He was able to make contact with the ship's A.I. and access one of its experimental power cores. It fused with the Zoacrystal on his forehead, and in doing so, enabled him to grow into a giant while in his Zoalord form. This upgrade also unlocked a hyper transformation. While dangerous to perform, it gave Murakami a powerful boost that turned the tide in the war against the Zoalords.

With Cronos gone, the members of the resistance went their separate ways. Other anomalies were cropping up all over the world and Murakami felt obliged to use his powers to continue safeguarding earth from harm. He is still an active journalist, and uses that as a way of traveling the globe and assisting those in need.

Powers/Abilities:

• Zoacrystal - The result of experimentation from Cronos headquarters. Murakami has an emerald zoacrystal embedded into his skull. It can appear and reappear on command, usually revealing its jeweled appearance when Murakami is transforming or using telepathy. It is the direct source for all of his powers like super strength and speed, with a special affinity for manipulating gravity energy.
• Telepathy - Like all the Zoalords, Murakami possesses telepathic control over Zoanoids and other lesser creatures. This also enables him to make psychic contact with all sorts of beings while in both human and Zoalord form.
• Zoanoid Buster - A modified .347 Colt magnum revolver that Murakami uses in his regular human form. The rounds that this gun fires carry three times the amount of gunpowder of the average magnum. Because of his Zoalord constitution, he's able to absorb the recoil without injuring himself.
• Gravity Blade - A blade of gravitational energy that produced from his hand when in zoalord form.
• Barrier - Murakami can project a barrier around himself to block attacks. He can also super charge the barrier to repel foes and cause irreparable damage upon contact.
• Flight - Murakami is gifted with the power of flight while in the zoalord form. He can also fly in space for a short amount of time.
• Hyper Transformation: Murakami is able to gain an exponential increase in power, tripling his abilities for a short amount of time. Hyper Transformation puts a great stress on his body, which can prevent him from transforming into his zoalord form for a certain amount of time (days, sometimes weeks).

@Cuddle Pot Sounds like a plan. I should have a post up later today.

Ludivico nodded in approval as Stefano listed the names of his hounds, committing them to memory as he petted each one with equal attention.

"Names of great women and noble mare of royalty. There is strength in such names. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Ludi perked up as Stefano gave details about his rifle. In an age where sword and shield is heralded as weapons of honor, the instant result (often anti-climatic) from a firearm was often frowned upon. Yet those who've tamed its power and explored its inner workings know the brilliance of such craftsmanship and ingenuity. They were the future, Ludi often said when he pitched his sale to businesses and potential buyers, but it had a long way to go before it became the standard weapon of use in Alestoth.

Stefano commented on the rifle's Bastion inspired design, noting its longer barrel and even longer reloading times compared to a standard rifle.

"I'm sure it packs a powerful, if not more accurate shot." Ludivico said.

"Are you a marksman Ludi? How do you plan on us killing 75 orcs in the morning?"

Ludivico patted Agrippina, Livilla, and Incitatus' bellies before he rose back up and sat next to Stefano at the campfire.

"It's not my best skill, but it is a skill nonetheless. I've had my fair share of hunts in the Shadowlands. I'm much better at selling them than firing them, being an arms dealer and all. My preference for dispatching foes isn't as fanciful as the aim of your rifle, I'm afraid." Ludivico almost felt ashamed to say that aloud. He prides himself to be a businessman of taste and professionalism, yet the brutal dual axes he's wielded since his pirating days never left him. They weren't even on his person, as they were rolled up in his traveling bag, hidden from prying eyes. "Prior time spent as a brash swashbuckler left me with a knack for the up-close-and-personal. A hypocritical notion, considering my interest in firearms."

"Though, I do have this when swifter conclusions are needed." Ludi reached under his leather coat and revealed a magelock pistol. "It does not pack the punch of your rifle, but the loading tube mechanism makes for a speedy rate of fire." He offered it to Stefano to hold and inspect. "Mind if I have a look at your arquebus?"

Ludivico decided that he could trust this man and proposed an idea. "Would you agree that our pairing would compensate for the tactical weaknesses we'd otherwise have as individuals? Out of the shoddy sort I've scoured in this band of oddities, you're the first sane man I'd prefer to have at my side for the coming battle. Plus, should you meet your end tomorrow morning, I would be more than willing to carry on your rifle's legacy." The last bit was clearly a joke. The old pirate in Ludivico couldn't help himself.

Ludivico felt a joy of relief at the opportunity to exit his current conversation.

"You are most welcome to join us." Ludivico said, interrupting the soldier, mid-sentence.

The wide-eyed soldier's story was starting to unravel details about sexploits far too explicit for his taste. It spoke volumes on how it made a man like Ludivico uneasy, who, for most of his life spent his time amongst some of the foulest swashbucklers known to man. The soldier glanced up at the newcomer, shrugged his shoulders, and talked the ear off of the other poor sap sitting next to him.

"My name's Ludivico Nyambaya Locche, but Ludi, or Locche, will do." He said, rising from his seated position around the campfire, hand extended to shake his. After they introduced themselves, Ludivico turned his attention toward the three animals tailing Stefano like an entourage.

"What fine companions you have here." He knelt to the grassy floor, extending an open palm full of leftover jerky for them to take. "Good breeds for hunting. That one there a wolf mix?" Ludivico then looked up at the man, eyeing the arquebus he was shouldering. "That's a nice piece you got there. Nothing like the Bremingtons or clumsy Faux rifles I peddle. Customization looks Dwarven."
