I tend to have all these little fellas living in my head for some odd reason. Well, no worries about the followers bit, cos this Zenith is a loner. Not looking for followers, and all previous ones are ... well they may make a re-appearance as zombies, but that's as far as they go. I'll work on the long speech from the UCS in a moment. Skies is on top of a mountain to basically hear. I've attached the char sheet, so things make a little more sense.******Righto then, on to our Fire-Aspected DB. Said DB is a mercernary, once upon a time from Lookshy, currently under the employ of one of the more influential merchant houses in the region. Their youngest son was being secretly sent out of the kingdom for his own safety, because the house was waging a silent war against another, and their father knew he didnt have the stomach for it, and was thus a prime target for the other side. He's dead now, and the DB, who was hired as the house's dead enforcer, sees it as a slap in his face. So while he thinks that our dear Skies is going to die in the forest, nasty place that it is, he played it safe an reported his description to his employer. So now, Skies is a wanted criminal throughout the area. Its not a very precise description, since Skies has done things like lost some weight and shaved his head since that one encounter, but having one eye is rather outstanding.The Air-Aspected DB with him is his sworn brother. They work together. *****Now on to the guy on the mountain.The air was fresh, crisp and clean. There was a gentle breeze about, causing the granules of sand on the ground to swirl gently. It was a cloudless day, though the morning mists shrouded the mountain peaks like a glorious gossamer raiment. The gentle streams of first light gently caressed his face, as the tranquility without helped him find a calm within, to seek the Voice which had reverberated within his very soul. He waited.The morning mists thinned and dissipated. The breezes gave way to a still calm. Warmth from the sun bathed the peak, and beads of sweat formed on his skin. The heat seemed to diffuse through his very essence, reaching into the depths of his being, stoking an unquenchable fire in his soul. And he waited.Slowly, an image began to form in his mind. Like the mists retreating from the mountain peak to reveal its glory, the veils were slowly lifted from his mind, and he saw the figure of a man, unlike any other man. A glorious nimbus of sunlight surrounded him, making his features too bright to be discerned. Held in one hand, balanced upon his shoulder, was a sword that seemingly dwarfed even this mountain. And the sword gleamed like its wielder, like the sun itself. He understood then. The Unconquered Sun. In Him was perfection, and from Him came perfection.The words came easily to his lips. "Master..."A gentle hand was raised to silence him. "In truth, my son, what canst thou do for me?" The question answered before it was asked, and a truly humbling answer it was. "I require neither thine rituals or thine worship. Obey My Voice." Skies inclined his head."This is my commandment unto thee. Learn thine art, and master it. With it thou shalt express might, even Mine own, unto those who wilt reject thee. For him who rejecteth thee, denieth Me. Tend to them that hath been made low by tyranny, care for them that are uncared for. Give to the poor, and extend thine helping hand to him who is in need. By this they shalt know Mine compassion. Heal this land, restore it to its former glory, for it shalt again reflect the light of Mine glory. Now descend this mountain, for thy time here draws nigh to a close. Thy companions await thee upon the lowlands. Go."Then the light dimmed and faded, and his Master gone with it. Skies slowly got to his feet, stretching out the kinks in his limbs. He had been seated for seven days and seven nights, with neither food nor water. After eating and drinking, he set foot down the mountain.*****So thats that for Skies, till the adventures begin. Incidentally, in the char sheet, I've taken an extra 2 pt flaw and spent the 2 pts like regular bonus points. Is that ok with ya?</blockquote>
