Rogue Wars (closed/started)

It has been seven long years since the first rebellion against the tyrant and murdering king arose, and failed in a single day. When the flames of hope and resistance were doused in a bucket of the blood spilled for freedom.

Who knows what actually started it- the undaunting spirit of the human heart to ever yearn for freedom? The wholesale slaughter of tens of thousands over the years for the sake of the “common good”? Or maybe simply the fear of what a madman sitting at the helm of the empire was capable of doing, no one was sure.

But seven years ago a group of mere children took a stand against the bloodshed, the hunting down in the middle of the night, the families torn apart and loved ones missing and gone. They took a stand, they struck for freedom all alone and unaided by those who should have been there. They fought back, they were willing to give their all for the survival of their kind- the Rogues and Mirrors.

The King knew they were coming, he knew full well what was happening, but he didn’t care. He laid a trap for them, and waited- like a spider in his web for them to fall right in- and fall they did. In one day, no- in a single afternoon these brave children were slaughtered in a bloodbath that would make the most battle hardened warriors weep. The king had no mercy, he spared none. Though none were sparred several did survive the carnage, though most died of their wounds soon after.

Yet, even as the rebellion failed it planted the seeds of resistance in the hearts of Rouges still left. Those who had fled to safer parts, or simply remained in hiding- the sacrifice of those few brave children caused the seeds to quickly sprout in the hearts of all those who heard it- whether they were Rogues or no, for many of the empire did not believe as their king did.

You are one of those who came after the first rebellion. You are the one who will strike a blow for freedom now your powers are grown. Maybe you lost a love one and seek revenge, maybe you are trying to find meaning to who you are, maybe like so many you just have no where else to go.

You have heard of two groups of resistance that have grown to be threats to the king, you make for one of them. Whichever one you choose depends on why you want to join a rebellion- for both move independently of one another and possibly even loath one another for their differing motives.


If you are joining to save lives, to help others escape the terror families with Rogues in them face every day you will head to the Group known as “Shepherds” for that is what they do, shepherd Rogues and their families across the borders to neutral countries where they can live in peace. The Shepherds are headed by a Rogue known simply as “Dead Man Walking”. He is a benevolent spirit who simply is fighting for peace for others, for safety.

If you are joining for revenge, to fight for freedom and are willing to risk the carnage that comes with it-you will head to the group known as “Rampart”. Their goal is not only to stop the king, but to bring down the whole empire with him. Rampart members hold the empire (not just the king) responsible for the slaughter of thousands because those who could have- stood by and did nothing. Their leader is a fierce Rogue known as Phoenix- many a time has she risen from her ashes to fight another day- always for the freedom of her people, and the revenge of those she lost.


So, be quick to join a group- the king is looking for you. Whether you be a true Rogue or simply someone who is sick of the innocent bloodshed your added number will be a great help to those already in the “trenches”.


Rogues and Mirrors:

Spoiler

Rogues are humans with special abilities usually connected to an element or power found in nature. They can manipulate this element to a certain extent and may even be impervious to it (such as being almost fire poof or can stand extreme cold.)

When a rogue is born a section of their soul- usually a contradicting character trait or personality strain, splits and becomes what is known as a Mirror. The Rogues Mirror is a separate being or creature, but still has an extreamly close bond to its rogue. The Rogue and Mirror can communicate via mind speech with one another but Mirrors can speak aloud if they choose to. Mirrors take on two physical manifestations when they are "born". One is of a weapon that best represents the element/power the Rogue is master of. The second is an animal form. This form represents what their Rogues spirit beast would be.

Name: (Full name including last if they have it and any nicknames or titles they have) Reva Airdronac- everyone knows her as Phoenix though.

Age: (no one under sixteen without asking Shadowlight)25

Gender:Female

Race: (Human or Rogue?)Rogue

Element/powers: (please keep it reasonable- nothing over the top or godlike- there have to be weaknesses)Light and Healing Rogue- she can manipulate light to make herself disappear. It can be used as stunning or can blind someone as well as harden into a weapon to be used. The only problem is she has to have light to work with- if she was in, say, a cave- she would be useless with her light magic.

Appearance: (Description and picture please)Curly brown hair and blue eyes- she's always in leather armor and has a helm she wears much of the time to obscure her face.

Spoiler

This is her just regular- no armor, no helmet

Personality: (include character strengths and flaws- make them have depth!) She's a determined woman who is trying to be strong. She tends to try and hide her emotions completely because she was always taught that it made you stronger. She's the kind of leader that's always there, setting up, taking down, and leading the missions. While reckless sometimes, she does think things through and is an honestly smart person.

History: (Every character has one- just make it of reasonable length)Reva had a hard childhood- she was abandoned at two, and taken in by a man at age four. He taught her everything she needed to know about killing and causing other people pain- and turned her into an heartless killer. When she was eighteen she joined in the first resistance where she gained a set of morals, and for the first time in her life came to care about someone other than herself and her Mirror. The softening of her soul yielded up a Mirror that was her true one- leaving her with two to care for only days before the ambush from the Empire. She barely survived the battle and soon realized that she had lost all of her comrades. The knowledge broke her, but also stabilized her in her new found beliefs. She became Phoenix and started a resistance of her own- and now it's all she cares about.

Up for love: (yes/no? Conditions? orientation?) Yeah- best of luck though. She got her heart broken when the first resistance failed.

Other (anything interesting that doesn't fit anywhere else)


Mirrors name: Darsor and Kitty

Appearance: (Both weapon and Animal) Both are white tigers- huge white tigers, but Kitty is a staff in weapon form and Darsor is a set of daggers

Personality: Darsor is a quiet mentor type- he's the thoughtful side of Reva's soul, while Kitty is more the happy side that wants to please everyone.

Other: Kitty is never in weapon form, while Darsor is often in his weapon form.

Are you meaning Rouge, as in French for red or are you trying to spell Rogue?

It's supposed to be spelled like that I'm pretty sure...

Name: Elion Erioch (goes by Ryder)
Age: 18
Gender:male
Race: Rogue
Element/powers: Controling the wind, teleporting - that may be going over - but the weakness for that is that someone can't be touching him to teleport
Appearance: tall, black hair, blue eyes, sorta pale.

Spoiler

{just imagine the black hair and blue eyes, all the other images came up all emo.}

Personality: Ryder is a quiet person who tends to keep to himself. He's willing to work as a member of a team, but prefers to be alone. He doesn't like the smell of blood though, it makes him really nauseuos (i don't think i spelled that correctly).
History: Ryder lived with his family in a small vilage, when they were killed by the tyrant king.He decided that he would not let anyone else die that wasn't meant to. Which is why he's becoming a sheperd and not a rampart.
Up for love: Sure, why not... He's straight.
Other He's good with languages.

Mirrors name:Gale
Appearance: Her weapon form is a bow, and her animal for is a white wolf.

Spoiler

Personality:She hardly ever talks to anyone other than Ryder. She's one that tends to be sarcastic and wise most of the time.
Other:She talks with Ryder via telepathy.

(Still under minor construction)

Name: Rayden Emanuel Thorn ( nicknames are; "Dead man walking", Ray, and his little sister called him Rayray)
Age: 27
Gender: Male, very much male.
Race: Rogue

Element/powers: Rayden is a Fire Rogue, he can: summon fire in all it's forms and color ranges, he can become engulfed in fire and not come to any harm (to a reasonable point- he is almost fireproof.) He can heat his physical body up to incredible temperatures (within reason- he doesn't want to cook his innards,) and he can breath fire- when he wants to really intimidate you. As a fire Rogue he has a certain spectrum of the fire range he prefers to use. In battle he uses blue fire and the almost invisible white fire. in everyday use (yes he does use his abilities for household things) he uses the normal reds, oranges, and yellows- he NEVER dabbles in black fire as it is a fallen form of the fire element. Rayden has reached though the years the ability to fully summon his element and is fully connected to it and to his Mirror.

Appearance: Rayden is tall (6'5") with a lean yet muscular build. He has blondish brown hair that he keeps cropped short and he is usually clean shaven- yet with just the right amount of manly five o'clock shadow. His eyes are dark gray-blue with a striking green shot in them, he also has the kind of the smile that could make you weak in the knees.


Personality: Rayden is the white knight type to be sure, albeit a knight with a few dings in his armor. He has a bit of a hero complex- he needs to make it better.

At the moment Rayden is quietly depressed, due to personal loss and tragedy that is constantly happening around him- and from his past. He has a whopping case of survivors guilt and he is sick of always being the last one standing, while everything and everyone he loves dies or is taken away.

Before this he was the optimistic one who could always see the flip-side to any situation and was the shoulder everyone near him could use to cry on. He was the steady leader type who could keep a cool head in crisis and could react quickly to avoid disaster. He was the one who had a winning smile and infectious laugh...
Now he is merely a shell of his former self.


History: Rayden was born into a farming family that had no rogues in the family tree for many generations before Rayden. Even the danger posed of keeping him at home his parents did just that- they swore not to break their family up. All was well and good until Rayden was twelve, when the Emperor kicked his hunting of Rogues up a notch. Soldiers came to his family's farm and demanded that his parents hand him over to them, they refused and they were slaughtered by the soldiers. Rayden and his younger sister Robin (who rayden called birdy) hid from the soldiers in a nook under the stairs- but heard everything. They escaped and fled through the cold early winter woods trying to find a safe place. Robin was only six at the time and the danger, the hardships were too great for her, and only a few months later she died, in his arms. Rayden was broken beyond belief after this and just didn't care anymore if he lived or died and soon wandered into the clutches of a company of soldiers who took him to one of the “holding” camps. Months passed and his spirit began to mend and the fire started to burn brightly within his heart. So he and a small group broke out of the camp and scattered over which way to escape the hellstorm they saw coming.

Rayden found his way to the first incarnation of the “Shepherds” a motley crew of Rogues who had banded together in order to help others of their kind and their families escape the country. It was here that he realized that revenge wouldn't bring him the peace he so longed for, and it never would.

He started to train in earnest to become strong- strong enough to save others from what he had known. At age fifteen his life was thrown once again into a living hell- Rayden contracted Tuberculosis. He had been leading a group of refugees over the winter torn mountains when they were beset upon by a bounty hunter who was infected. Rayden to save his small “flock fought the hunter and unknowingly caught the terrible wasting illness.



Up for love: Yes and no- He's dying so he doesn't want to fall in love and end up hurting that person with his looming death. That being said- Rayden is a romantic and has always carried his heart in his heads- even after shattering it so many times.

Other Rayden is on his last legs at the moment due to his disease and often has terrible coughing fits and bring up blood.

Mirrors name: Dante (but Rayden often refers to him as the royal pain in the kisser.)
Appearance: in weapon form Dante is a pair of single edged swords- rather plain with handles bound in worn black leather. In animal form he is a phoenix. In that form he can change size depending on how much power he and Rayden are generating together. Usually he is the size of a large parrot, but has been known to reach the size of a small airplane. His colors also change depending on his mood or if he gets bored of his present colors.
Personality: Dante is logical, painfully honest and unashamedly a smart ass. But for all that he has a heart of gold and is devoted to Rayden with an unwavering loyalty- but will give Rayden hell if he thinks he needs it.
Other: Dante is terribly curious- in fact he's the avian version of Curious George and is constantly asking questions.
He also HATES getting wet.

Name: Verah Mire
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Rogue (Shepard)
Element/powers: Darkness manipulation: Verah can become immune to physical damage by channelling darkness through her body however it takes a while to ‘warm up’ and work at 100% capacity. She can also conjure a shadow fire which is essentially a black coloured fire which is freezing cold rather than hot; Verah can manipulate this much like any elemental can manipulate normal fire. The major weakness here is light, obviously; during the day her powers are considerably weakened. Also, she's still not completely in controll, so be expecting mishaps.
Appearance: Verah is approximately 5’9” in height and is very slender in build, she has long and graceful limbs all wrapped in tender and snowy skin. Her hair is a dark mahogany colour, which is almost black, that reaches roughly to her waist usually however her hair is tied back in a loose ponytail. Her face is fairly angelic and very young in complexion, having no visible flaws other than a slight scar under her right eye. The colour of her eyes is rather unusual: A dark violet. She likes to wear quite loose, brown clothing as shown in the picture below.
Personality: Verah is a very quiet girl who dislikes anyone getting too close for fear of rejection and abandonment, but when it comes down to it she’ll be kind and considerate as well as tolerant and honest; traits that help in getting Rouge families to trust her. Growing up as the daughter of a merchant Verah learned to lie quickly and painfully well, however she tries to as honest as possible to those around her. She is known as being a bit paranoid but not ridiculously so, she only ever thinks that you have a hidden agenda.
History: Before the rebellion started, Verah was much like any other little girl who was daughter to travelling merchants: happy and innocent. She had both of her parents, most of her friends and all of her life ahead of her; she was slowly coming to grips with her powers and with having a very talkative mirror. And then the rebellion came. She was only eleven at the time but her parents didn’t think twice about leaving her. Verah’s friends tried to console her that they had left to join the fight. That they did still love her, but deep down Verah knew the truth: they had abandoned her. A fear confirmed by Greer, when he told her that he had overheard them planning their leave, and that it was too dangerous for them to have a Rogue as a daughter. This experience left Verah broken and vulnerable. All through her teens, Verah continued to train and to improve her skill only now she was detached and distant from what went on around her, Greer become the only one she would allow to be close to her.
When Verah heard about another resistance rising, at the age of seventeen, she left her caravan of merchant and joined the Shepherds, for she did not want revenge. She just didn’t want other families and children to feel what she did. She’s never been quite able to love anyone else as much as she loved her father.
Up for love: Yes, she is up for love and is straight, but you’d have to prove yourself to Greer first and then make her believe in ‘love’ again.
Other: She's not completely comfortable speaking to Greer in her head so she'll often talk out loud to him, confusing most people who don't know her well.
Mirrors name: Greer
Appearance: In animal form Greer appears as a dark coloured pygmy owl, and in weapon form he is a pair of two half chakrams which can be combine into one.
Personality: Despite his lack of size, Greer has a considerably large mouth; he hardly ever shuts up. He is very caring of Verah and feels like anyone else is a threat to her, if anything he is over protective of her. Contrasting from Verah, Greer can be quite sarcastic in what he says and doesn’t mind hurting someone’s feelings thus earning himself a telling off from Verah every now and then.
Other: N/A

Name: Alia Atre
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Rogue
Element/powers: Control over fire. Weakness - water, of course. She can't be wet or in the rain to be able to use her power.
Appearance:

Spoiler

Auburn hair, pale blue eyes, pallid skin, usually seen in black clothing with a necklace with a flame charm.

Spoiler

Personality: Stubborn, which occasionally gets her in sticky situation; free willed, can't be stopped when setting her mind to something; Quiet, speaks only when spoken to; Doesn't trust easy; Prefers to be independent, but can tolerate working with others; Controlling of her temper.
History: Lost both her parents in one of the rebellions two years ago and was travelling along with her older brother Rylet until a few months ago, when he disappeared. She blames the empire for the loss of her whole family and, while striving to gain revenge, she hopes to find some clue as to what happened to her brother.
Up for love: Yes, if you can gain her trust. Straight orientation.
Other: Is good with a sword.

Mirrors name: Miat
Appearance: Alia's half gold half silver sword, very basic besides the split of color. His animal form is red tailed hawk.
Personality: Is as quiet as Alia. Rarely speaks out loud. Tries to keep Alia's mind off worrying about her brother.
Other: Very protective. Trusts people even less than Alia.

Profile in construction.

Name: Myrna Cobb

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Element/powers: None.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Myrna has dark hair that falls to just below her shoulders, which is normally tied back in a simple pony-tail. Her eyes are blue, and a little smaller than average, as is her snub nose. Her face is an unusual shape- long and angular. Myrna has freckles over her nose, but they can only be seen under close scrutiny. When she gets tanned, these tend to darken, becoming a more prominent feature.

She’s very tall- around 6’1”. Myrna hates her tallness, as she feels it makes her stand out too much. She’s also rather slender. Myrna doesn’t easily put on weight, but is rather scrawny and not very physically strong. This is why she prefers fighting with ranged weapons, and will avoid combat in close quarters if she can help it.

Personality: Ancola is fairly quiet, normally keeping most of her thoughts to herself, unless somebody says something with which she strongly disagrees with, in which case she will relentlessly argue her case. She can be incredibly convinced that she is right, and has trouble seeing things from anyone else’s point of view. Ancola ends to enjoy arguments- she finds them exciting and stimulating. Unfortunately, this sometimes drives her to actively seek out arguments.

Ancola looks at life in a very detached and logical way, not normally letting her feelings interfere with her judgement.

She is claustrophobic, and prefers to be outside.

History: Myrna was born to parents who were either prejudiced, patriotic or misguided. They raised her to believe that the king was right to persecute rogues. unfortunately, they forgot to tell her how to recognise rogues.

And so Myrna unknowingly befriended rogues, and when she was seventeen, she was approached by a friend of hers, several years younger, who asked Myrna to take part in a rebellion against the king. Myrna vehemently refused, but promised to keep her friend's secret.

Soon afterwards, the king recieved word that somebody was plotting something in Myrna's area, and sent spies to find out what. Under interrogation, Myrna broke her promise.

Her friend died from her wounds a week after the attack. Still refusing to believe that the king was wrong, Myrna entered the army, where she served for five years.

In that time, she slowly realised that her family were wrong, and that what she was doing in the army was wrong. She left, and made for Rampart.

Myrna knows that she is responsible for the slaughter, and sheknows that nothing can change that. But she hopes that by joining Rampart, she can make sure that it never happens again.

Up for love: Yes- bisexual.

Other: She carries a crossbow:

Spoiler

So I typed it all up and hit submit to find that my brother disconnected the internet to install some king of new filter or adapter. So then, after retyping half of this, its finally done again ^^


Name: Charlotte (Char) Caverly
Age: 16
Gender: female
Race: rogue
Element/powers: Ice and snow.The best asset of her element is that she can form any weapon at any time, as long as its not to hot that it'll melt right away. Char is best at archery though. Also, able to communicate with arctic animals like arctic foz, polar bear, snow leopard, ect. Weakness is fire.

Appearance:Pale skinned and slender, Char has dark, shadowed eyes framed with thick lashes. Below them, a straight, thin nose rests above her peach lips usually drawn into an expressionless, straight line. She has thick ebony hair that tumbles down past her shoulders that curls just so much that it can be called wavy instead of curly.

Personality: Char is a careful, yet sometimes reckless girl who tries to (unsuccessfully) to distance herself from others to save herself the risk of getting hurt. At first, she'll come off cold and withdrawn, but with pure and good intentions. In reality, she is somewhat gullible and instinctively believes in the best of people; a trait that makes her vulnerable. She is also strong willed and would risk anything for what she believes in.Undeniably loyal and caring though, once you get past Char's walls, you'll find a sweet, lonely girl desperate for some sense of family and love.

History: Char spent the first 5 years of her life living in an utopia of two loving parents and a role model of an older sister. Then, the rebellion finally spread to her home town and she is one of the few survivors of the _____ (any village name) Massacre. From one day to another, she went from living in a cozy two story house to the old abandoned cottage that rests beside a small creek right next to the most northern forest. Her whole family died in the fire, and though Char has her ice element that could cancel out fire, she would gladly freeze to death then start up her own flame.
Up for love: Sure (straight)

Mirrors name: Verndari (Vern)
Appearance: he's an abnormally big snow leopard with piercing, pale blue eyes. Even with a thick spotted pelt and big paws, he's very graceful, elegant and proud

Personality: Vern is protective of Char (thus the name Verndari which according to Google Translate, means 'protector' in Icelandic;)), observant, wise and usually laid back. Never one to show a soft side (except when he's dead sure Char's the only one around), he's stoic, almost warrior-like. When provoked though, he basically goes on a rampage. Vern is also extremely wary of humans in general and always sticks by Char.

Skills: Incredible speed, power and stamina.

SO freaking excited for this to start! *squeals*

May I join as a rogue please?

Okay my dear Rebellion writers!
There is news going on within the Rogue Wars world! This is a update and news bulletin so to speak.

The SB is now CLOSED. This means no new writers may enter just on the fly. IF however you know someone who would like to join, just have them shoot me a PM. I am more than willing to let them in- If they have a character who I think will add to our SB's plot.

The SB has a start date of February 24- that is ONE week from today, so PLEASE get your profiles up and running. and as to when to start posting please wait for the first TWO posts to be up. The first two posts will be My own and Bee's. We need to have the first posts as our characters are the two group leaders and you all need a solid base to start from. so again PLEASE WAIT until Bee and My first Posts to be up. (we will probably have them up sometime late Thursday night in our own timezones.)

Just some general SB notes-

All your characters will be starting fresh, not knowing anyone. So your characters will need to decide WHAT group they are going to join- Shepherd or Ramparts. (I ask if you would PM me your decision so I can make sure not one side is too heavy.)

if at any point you want to add a new character, simply fill out another profile sheet and PM it to me, along with how you see the new character fitting in. (I will most likely say go for it.)

Along those same lines- IF for some reason you want your character killed off,(get bored of your present character,) or need to leave the SB for whatever reason PLEASE don't just go silent- Kill them in a realistic fashion or if you cannot, allow Bee and I to do so. This is a rebellion so character deaths are to be expected.

Lastly-

No more out of character posts on the SB itself, PLEASE move all comments and questions and anything not actual SB posts to the DT.

I am SO excited for this SB! It will be epic!

Name: Serena Crown

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Race: Rogue

Element/powers: Serena’s power is to create illusions. How realistic they are depends on the situation, but she can keep simpler ones going for longer.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Serena is tall and slim with long black hair that has a tendency to curl. Her cat-like features are similar to her brothers, even though they are fraternal twins. Her looks are sophisticated, although her usual exuberance sometimes ruins the effect.

Personality: Outgoing and flirtatious, Serena never seems to take anything too seriously. She tends to be enthusiastic, but she especially loves playing with her magic. She also likes to talk, and will gladly strike up a conversation about anything. Serena is also adventurous. She desperately wants to prove herself, in the most flamboyant way possible.
Serena doesn’t set nearly enough boundaries. She pushes herself past her limits of a regular basis, and she has a problem staying out of other people’s business. Her tendency to pry combined with her lack of respect for personal space can easily be deemed obnoxious. Occasionally she shows a dangerous lack of respect for other people’s lives.

History:
When Serena was ten the kings men came for her and her bother. Her parents were killed while she helped her brother escape. She’s been taking care of Sebastian ever since, but she wants something more. She wants to fight back.

Up for love: Yes.

Mirrors name: Matins
Appearance: Mat is a small black housecat. Somewhat appropriately, his weapon form is a Cat o' Nine Tails.
Personality: Mat is the shy, retiring side of Serena’s personality. He is also a great deal more patient that she is. He likes to hang back and observe.
Other: He likes to spend time with Sebastian when he can



Name: Sebastian Crown
Age: 24
Gender:Male
Race: Rogue

Element/powers:
Sebastian is empathetic. He can sense people’s moods, and sometimes even thoughts if he actually works at it. He can’t block everything, shutting down his ability renders him completely unable to function, so he’s always conscious of the people around him. He’s been doing this since before he can remember. It’s just part of life for him, although he has trained himself to remain expressionless so it won’t show so much when he is affected by other people’s minds. His mental stability is somewhat dependent on the people around him.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Tall, but skinny. His shoulder-length hair curls a little at the edges. With his aquiline features, he resembles his sister, but this is just a quirk of genetics. He has an aristocratic air about him.

Personality:
Sebastian is a very disciplined and controlled person. He seems to keep to himself, but really hates to be alone. He is always careful to keep his face expressionless, because of his special ability. He strives to be polite at all times, but sometimes he ends up being acerbic.
He can appear cold or distant. He spends too much time in his own little world, as often lets his sister be his mouthpiece. He is a follower, even when it’s a bad idea (again, especially when Serena is involved.)

History:
When Sebastian and his sister were ten, stories about the strange twins reached the wrong ears. Serena got him away in time, but his parents deaths still nearly destroyed him.
For years he has clung to his twin, but he still cannot stand to be around violence and hate. Now he is forced to leave the side of the sister he relies on.

Up for love: Yes

Other Sebastian always knows where his sister is, and what she is doing and thinking. He claims this is not a “Mystical Twin Thing” but simply a combination of Serena being easy to read and his familiarity with her, and that he could do this with anyone. She disagrees. It’s an ongoing argument.

Mirrors name: Nocturn - Nox for short

RaydenThorn/ The Dancing Dragon inn:

In the small farming town of Cathsian there stood an an ancient and ramshackle inn. Its thatch was a rotting gray, and in the shades cast by the three chimneys soft moss grew rampant. The inns walls were old wattle and daub, patched like a quilt with patches of whiter new daub,over top the old.

The inn had quite a bit of character, listing to one side slightly- like a hat cocked to one side and all the windows frosted with a hundred years of grime. The old iron bound door was dented and decaying at the bottom- from many a storm.

Inside reflected the outside- Dark wooden beams, stained darker by the smoke from the great fire in the hearth and the pipes constantly being smoked within.

The master of this house was a old man, white whiskered and bright eyed. His merry smile and hearty laugh was the kind who would put you at ease, and his door was always open. He seemed to contrast sharply with the establishment he kept- he the kind and clean cut landlord, and his inn- a den of the most disreputable souls who passed through the town.... Including myself.

I met Bertram (for that was the old mans name) when I was a boy of only fourteen, he was old even then. He was the first normal human besides my parents who showed me kindness and no fear. His late wife had been a water Rogue and so I guess one could say he was used to our “oddities.” at least that is when I first thought- in truth that old man's kindness went much further. His inn- The Dancing Dragon- was a safe house, a refuge for Rogues fleeing the country- or those like myself trying to shepherd them away.

The Dancing Dragon was as close to a headquarters we Shepherds had- and in faith I don't believe we could have gotten a better even if we tried. And it was too this inn I was headed, I needed a rest just for a day or two.

“Rayden?” the sharp voice of Dante and the even sharper peck he gave my ear brought me back from my mental musings.

“Hmm? What is it?” Dante hopped about on my shoulder, bobbing his head in his odd way of nodding.

“You sound terrible.” His golden eyes narrowed sharply, “Are you feeling alright?”

“I'm fine.” I lied, he knew I was but kept quiet. To be honest my lungs were fairly screaming at me to stop walking or they'd decide to “play” with me later. I cleared my throat loudly and fought back the tickle to cough- if I started there was no way of knowing I'd ever stop- besides, I knew I'd pay for my little adventure later anyway.

We made it to the inn around noontime without mishap, or coughing fit. Dante as usual when in public, shifted into his weapon form. I kept him belted to my back- and under my cloak.

Bending through the low doorway I entered the dim interior.

“Ray my friend!” I head Bertram crow from his place behind the bar, smiling warmly I made my way over and sat down with a half hidden wince and a sigh- Bertram saw both and frowned mightily.


“How are you feeling?” he leaned closer to me, reading my eyes- I could never hid my true thoughts and feelings....

“Well i'm not dead yet- let's count our blessings.” I gave him a weak smile and sipped the cool drink he set before me. With a shake of his head he moved off, but stopped and
turned back to me.

“D.M.W has a visitor- come meet him, you'll let him know right?” I nodded slowly- smiling at his use of my code name, Dead Man Walking- or D.M.W. Even in his house I had to be careful, the price on my head had grown from a small fortune, to one that could possibly put the Emperor in debt.

“I'll let him know, thanks Bertram.” I turned back to my drink and was about to take a sip when Bertram spoke again,

“I told the child to wait over there- nearer the fireplace. The poor thing was half frozen from the chill outside.” Then he moved off.

Slowly I turned my head to face the great hearth, and in the shadows of the corner adjacent I could make out the silhouette of someone. I stared for a moment then nodded, motioning with my hand for them to come nearer.
