Nah, it's cool. I'll just get him in there. Lol

After retracting his blade Cain listened wordlessly to the man. He was no longer a threat, but Cain's guard was never down. "Noted." Was his response to the notion of being more careful. Next time, he would be sure to sense the threat before an attack was launched.

Amuné was dissatisfied with him though, and that was a problem he would fix. He looked at her face, and then to the man. "I was not aware--" he looked at Amuné again, "I was wrong." He admitted. He was apologizing more to her than the man, but the strange thing was that part of him meant it. He looked back to the man and, against his better judgment, removed his hidden blade and held it out. "I will come back for this upon leaving." @shylarah

Of all people to launch an attack on close proximity of, Cain was not the smartest choice. Although the man clearly had no idea who was around the corner any more than the former-assassin did, it didn't matter. Cain tapped the hidden blade he had drawn lightning fast against the back of the assailant's neck three times. He had moved with incredible speed, doing a three-sixty on his heels and found a position forty-five degrees behind and to the left of the man. His blade was two inches wide and ten inches long and lay flat side against the side of the attacker's neck.

With a calm, collected tone that only added an eerie feel to his words, Cain said to the man, "This blade is sharper than a surgeon's knife. It is placed directly over your bracheoplexis origin. One small movement of my wrist, or one wrong move on your part will kill you. You will put Amuné down and I will retract my blade." His voice, although deep and gritty from a previous injury, was was colder than the obsidian steel that lay against this man's neck.

Had Amuné not expressed familiarity with him, Cain would have ended his life then and there.@shylarah

Destiny is lacking in base story, this is true. Still, there is a lot of lore in the grimoirs and such, that I could use to fuel and original story. In this way, a destiny theme is great for rping in that we could create our own story without having to change a thing about the existing lore. But that's just my opinion, and it's not for everyone. I've been faithful to the game since beta, so I'm kinda biased.

As for post apocalyptic themes, I can make a character for any setting, although I prefer one with plenty of leeway. The walking dead is a little narrow in that aspect, but I am not unwilling. I am at your mercy.

As far as halo goes, I have to agree that the human/covenant war is the best option. Cortana is bae and would never go all skynet on us! Lol. Seriously though if we got a small group of reliable players, we could have an interesting and diverse fire team of Spartans. I'm pretty familiar with all games, but I've only read the fall of reach so it's possible I might need a little help on some details. I'm equall excited for all three ideas.

I'm not very familiar with fire emblem, to be honest. I'm no help there .-.

I have one last pitch though. If we are playing with the idea of crossovers, I can easily find a way to bring my guardian from destiny into the Halo rp. He would just show up due to some space anomaly like a cliche worm hole or something from destiny lore like Vex technology. I can strip him of his light (space magic) also, if necessary. This would make sense due to the fact that the traveler is not present in the halo universe, although I would like to retain some features and abilities. He's a Titan, so he would basically be a spartan in all reality, I've just wanted to rp as him soooo bad lol. It would be interesting (since Bungie developed both games and they are similar enough to do so) if the traveler was a remnant of the forerunners that came waaaaaay after the halo timeline. This would be plausible since it bears a striking resemblance to some forerunner technology, so the more forerunner tech is near, the more my Titan could do with "light". This is just an idea that I feel passionately about, but again, I am at the mercy of the GM. I just think it would make for interesting story and character interaction. Yeah I'm done rambling now. Let me know!

Cain responded to the sentries appropriately, showing papers and such. He understood that he was a daunting figure, so he made no sudden movements, although the ornately disguised hidden blade upon his right forearm was always at the ready to kill if necessary. As he was inspected, he took note of the details of the operation, in case it held pertinent data do later.

Tempering his speed he gained passage to the campus to find a winded Amuné. She was not keen on seeing the woman, but as his mission stated, Cain was to 'observe operations from a student's standpoint'. The guise was for him to choose a student at random, but he was to choose Amuné. "Very well. Complete your objective, while I complete mine. We will rendezvous at your dinner time." He said, as if she were another of his ranks. In a way, he considered her position to be his underling of sorts. "Remember to use your mask if you need me. If anyone asks, you were selected at random whilst in town as a preliminary screening to precede this meeting. Do you understand?" He asked, again locking in on her eyes.

Cain had trained another once before. Another female around Amune's age upon indoctrination. She had been weak and died while in pursuit of a target. Cain had completed the charge for her and burned the body. He had felt nothing then, so why now did he have a small, barely noticeable warmth in his chest when interacting with Amuné. The fact that he recognized she had a name was uncharacteristic of him in the first place. He wondered what emotion he was experiencing. This was a chemical combination and sensation he had not experienced before. Ever since he realized the false nature of his previous employment his body's physiological activity had been increasingly sparatic. He recognized these changes as the chemical processes of emotion, but still had not grasped their meaning, nor how to understand and emulate them.

He wasn't even sure that getting in touch with these reactions was conducive to optimal performance of his expertise.

He actually didn't shift, it's one of many dragon-style spells. In fact his shift is actually just a spell too, the highest level of Draconic Magic. In his lore that is ( ..)/

I see your halo and raise you Destiny! But halo is good too. I've been a fan since childhood when the first one was the only one! I'm also game for just about any post apocalyptic setting. I watched the new show "The Shannarah Chronicles" recently and it re-sparked my interest in the matter. I'm super flexible on topics, so just let me know!

Artanis

Considering his options, the gate was probably the better option. Suspicions were not helpful with reconnaissance. Further still, entering an unknown area fully exposed yielded he same amount of aid. That was why he preferred to catch his targets off-guard. The more social missions of late were throwing his game off. He was not accustom to such operations. The threat level was low here. With a majority of women and children. Collateral damage was imminent if he were to alert the guards and cause altercation. He had no opinion of collateral damage, but his new general orders frowned upon it.

He decided to use the front gate, replacing his glove and turning to move toward the front gate. He might have helped the girl over the wall, but it seemed she knew what she was doing.

"I will find you after my objective is complete." He said over his shoulder before returning to his task.He formed the tatsu handsign and incantated, "Dragon Style, Obsidian Flight."

A pair of shadowy wings formed at his back and he took flight toward the gate. When he landed, he stood as marble before the guards. @shylarah

Artanis

Yes that was purposeful lol. He's shielding himself and I'm also hiding some of his thoughts to be revealed later ( ..);

Artanis

@shylarah another short one, sorry .-.
