PERSONALITY:

There are many people who disagree that Kwes belongs in House Luna due to his seemingly outgoing nature, and Kwes might be one of those people. Kwes is the sort of mellow fellow that draws to socialization like moth to a flame. It isn’t that he isn’t used to being alone but rather that he is far too used to it. He has a sense of dry humor that is often mistaken for pessimism and his honesty is usually misread as a sense of dry humor.

People that know Kwes beyond the typical small talk he makes with strangers he meets are often the ones that agree that Kwes belongs perfectly in House Luna. While his sense of humor can sometimes have a bit of a bite, Kwes is an excellent teacher due to his patience and understanding for mistakes. He does not get riled up easily if at all, and whether it’s because he has great control over his emotions or his depression smothers any other feelings is hard to tell. He’s not the type of person to kick anyone while they’re down and is often the first person to offer them a hand back up.

While Kwes often makes fun of his own house as a form of self deprecating humor, he respects each house and the virtues they represent. Whether he actually agrees with the values is a completely different topic, but he doesn’t go out of his way to argue his beliefs with others. When his stress levels peak out, Kwes tends to clam up and cut off any and all social contacts until the situation resolves itself, similar to an ostrich sticking its head in the dirt when presented with danger.

MISCELLANEOUS:

- Never seen without a hair tie on his wrist.

-Has family issues but refuses to discuss them.

-Really likes chocolate milk.

The Will of God

Shoot for the stars and all that jazz. But yup, that's the reason I listed his faction as The Librarian haha

I figured their goals aligned, while their methods may not.

I know that it's pretty ambitious but it's just a goal. Goals can change, transform, fail...

Really, I'm leaving his end game pretty open to character development throughout the RP

My thoughts on Cole right now

Oh wow... That's pretty funny lol

I always felt bad for that guy in Avatar, he was just trying to make some honest money selling cabbages (Though, honestly, his business can't be THAT good if he only sells cabbages since they are pretty disgusting in my opinion)

Didn't exactly have him in mind while writing the post but let's pretend that's what the merchant looks like ^^;

why?! the goal is to take down the ultimatum not to kill innocent people! I seriously need to talk to you after this intel mission is done

Well, the way I figure it, my post actually compliments yours since now Asgard is bound to either investigate the mysterious bombing herself or send some forces to look into it, either way weakening the capital's security and drawing attention away from the Librarian

TheWindel said
Ah yes. People who choose neither side and fight for their own causes are what interest me the most...

Yup. He's just on a search for answers though he doesn't know the questions, and the Librarian/Superior though he doesn't know what to do once he finds either of them. He doesn't hold any particular animosity towards the Librarian (yet) out of his sister's fascination with him though. All he knows is that the Unity is one of the reasons his sister died so that the Unity is something he's going to destroy. If someone helps him, they become an ally. If someone gets in his way or knows too much (like the vegetable dude), you can guess what he does.

The Will of God

I figured it really wouldn't make sense for Cole to be traveling with the Librarian since he hasn't met him yet ^^;

Besides, I already kind of wrote that long ass post...

Anyways, I hope my post is alright. I kind of took a creative license when it came to killing random vegetable merchants.

Also, as sort of an IC thing, Cole is only on The Librarian's side at the moment because it's convenient for his purpose. If his purpose was to change, or he was to discover that the Librarian was somehow involved in his sister's death, he'd easily switch boats and join the Ultimatum side.

In the end though he's more of an interchangeable rogue than anything haha

The Will of God

I'm leaving this house! He has answers, you guys don't! You're just happy to sit on your ass all day and be spoon fed the same bullshit for the rest of your life! Don't you re-'

'Sis, can you please calm down? Can we just talk it out like civilized adults?'

'That's what this is? Civilization? No, this is anesthesia. I'm done talking, I'm going to find him and find out the real answers Cole. You can come too...'

'Silvia, you know I can't do that. I can't just run away from the real world while you're going through some sort of early midlife crisis.'

'Oh yes, I forgot Cole. You're all too eager to follow your princess Asgard into merry battle and get a chance to kill some rioters.'

'At least I'm not trying to run away from reality! Get over yourself Silvia! The Ultimatum is all I have, it's all you have, it's all that there has or probably ever will be! I'm sorry it doesn't fit your perfect picture of what life is supposed to be li-'

'Oh, I'm running away? I'M RUNNING AWAY? Who looked after mother when she sick and you were too busy studying for your exams! Who baked you a cake every birthday when you were depressed since your friends couldn't make it to your party? Who dug through the trashcan when you accidentally threw your book away and you were crying in the middle of the lunchroom? Who's really running away Cole? You or me? God, you make me sick. I'm leaving Cole, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.'

"I don't know sis... I don't know."

"Hey Cole, you asleep?" An unfamiliar voice woke up Cole Carton as the sound of wagon wheels simultaneously flooded his ears. Ah, yes, he remembered now. He was on his way to the Capital. He didn't quite remember why but it felt right anyways. He normally didn't remember why he did things until afterwards, or sometimes not at all. Which posed a question to Cole, how did he remember he did things if he forgot?

"Yeah, I'm awake. We nearly there?" Cole looked up at the figure posing the question. A gruff middle aged merchant had been hauling fresh vegetables to the capital until he had seen Cole walking along the road. Cole got in, they both exchanged false stories as to why they were traveling that particular stretch of road, and had been traveling for nearly a day since then.

"Hmph. You were talking in your sleep," the merchant replied dismissively though his eyes darted away from Cole's gaze as if what he heard disturbed him.

"Do you remember anything that I said," Cole inquired as he reached inside of his pocket.

"Nothing particularly interesting.... Uhh.. I think there was this girl named Silver?" It was an obvious lie and the sweat forming on the merchant's brow betrayed him.

"Ah, yes. She was my ex girlfriend. Bad breakup as I'm sure you can understand. Anyways, I better get off right here. I can see my stop coming up ahead. Thanks for the ride though." Cole said as leaned halfway out of the carriage.

"Sure thing bub... sure thing. Just to be curious though, did you put on some cologne while I wasn't looking? It smells like a beach in here."

"Nah, not me. It would be a nice idea to visit the beach though. See you later!" Cole yelled as he leaped off the carriage and slipped into the crowd of people meandering towards the capital. As soon as the carriage began to reach a sizable distance from him, Cole reached for his pocket again.

Click

An explosion ripped through the market square as a vegetable merchant's cart erupted in flames and Cole joined the squalor of people fleeing towards safety in the direction of the capital.

"Now it's time to find out why I decided to head over here."

Case notes.

Yawning, Vernon Kelso examined the manila yellow folder placed on his desk. It was obviously a case meant for the Homicide Squad but some wise ass higher up had thought it best to place this case in Kelso's hands. It wasn't necessarily a major inconvenience, truth be told, Kelso had been rather bored for a while busting street dope peddlers and it would be rather interesting to examine a real case again. So you can only imagine Kelso's disappointment when the case listed it as a suicide. Not even a particularly interesting suicide, one 9mm bullet to the head. Direct, efficient, and ultimately boring.

There were some interesting questions unanswered within the case file Kelso noticed however. Before the kid, listed as 'Adrian Harvey', overdosed himself with lead to the brain, he had been seen talking with a 'Essa Ronnel' who had received something before Adrian's death. It just didn't add up with Kelso. If it was a package of drugs, why did Adrian commit suicide right after giving it to Essa? Security footage hadn't shown it as a two way transaction either, just Adrian handing something to Essa then running to his death.

"Fucking kids..." Kelso muttered as he started up the engine of the squad car he was assigned. As the radio crackled to life, Kelso grabbed the microphone. "This is squad car Romeo 11, on my way to investigate the Harvey case." It only took an instant for the radio to buzz back. "You are confirmed to proceed Detective Kelso, happy hunting."

Straightening his ebony tie, Vernon Kelso admired his reflection in his car's mirror. Cleanly pressed black slack, a white business blazer and black designer shoes. Crisp, masculine, and costed about as much as most investigators make in a year. Taking a moment to adjust his badge to a comfortable place in his pocket, Vernon kept one hand on the grip of his holster and knocked with the other.

"LAPD, I'd like to make a few inquiries"

The Will of God

Eh, I was just saying lol

It twas an offer, nothing more. But getting to choose where we start is cool.
