[QUOTE="Synchronicity, post: 1645457, member: 10070"] [b]Paul O'Reiley, aka Bulwark[/b] Paul looks again at the indicated photograph, examining the truck, but he's distracted by the Major's next words. Another frown crosses his face for a moment, and he speaks seriously. [COLOR=royalblue]"I was afraid you might say something like that, Major. I..honestly, I don't know if I can kill anyone. I've always avoided it; I mean, even if they're the enemy, they're still human. I've always felt that using my powers to kill'd lower me to the level of thugs with guns and their ilk, killing people because they can. I...I came far too close to that once already."[/COLOR] A flash of unhappiness moves across Paul's face at his final words, but is swiftly gone. [COLOR=royalblue]Then again, I've never fought anyone with powers before. I might not have a choice...but when it comes down to it, I just don't know if I can willingly take a life; and I'm going to do my best to make sure I don't have to."[/COLOR] It seems obvious that Paul has given this some thought. His chair creaks for a moment, as the heaviness of his mood triggers a slight activation of his powers, but he quickly gets it under control.
