@Dark Light Crafting wouldn't be a bad one; it'll definitely be useful throughout the story.


Argh... but what talent would I give up?
Or what one could I easily gain through other means? (Like as a skill)
I was also closely considering an engineer/crafting one.

Damien sat on a ledge atop the highest roof of the mall, his legs dangling carelessly over what would surely be a life ending fall.
Although now, in this moment, nothing could be for sure. He stared out into the broken horizon, bent, sunken, surreal, beneath a frozen sun never moving.
Long gone were the ideas of this merely being a prank, or that he had slept through some dramatic evacuation. He had given up trying to contact anyone. It was not a disease or an attack. He had come to the conclusion, no, realisation, he was dead.

He looked over the edge down at the concrete car park far below. One sports car sat askew in now what seemed a concrete graveyard that should instead be bustling with life and activity. He sat still and silent, pondering for a time as endless as the suns movement. He didn’t know when or for how long but his eyes had been watery as he held back tears. One or two escaped and cascaded down his cheeks. They clung to his chin before loosing grip with his skin and plummeting down far below vanishing into the wild winds.

There was an unexplainable pull tugging on his chest, it called to him. ‘This way’ it whispered seductively from right there out in front of him, in that small void beyond thin air, and yet somehow at the same time it was so strangely very far away. He leant forward as if trying to listen to it. Trying to feel it. Teetering on the edge of his ledge he closed his eyes, listening harder, trying to answer it.
Ok.
he whispered.

I’m coming.

Damien put out the cigaret in his left hand and flicked it out into the wind, he dropped the binoculars from his right hand and they fell heavily back against his chest, hanging from the strap around his neck. They were weighty and worth a fortune, not that paid a cent for them, or any of his current gear.
As he rocked back and flicked his legs over to solid ground his equipment chinked and clattered. On a brand new holstered belt dangled the malls security master keys along within an extendable baton and a taser gun. All nice donations from the security office. Despite his best efforts he still couldn’t get hold of a real gun but the crossbow on his side found in the army surplus was good enough. That along with a few knives tucked away and a campers backpack stocked with supplies meant he was ready to go and face what ever was out there.

A short moment later and he was loading up that lonely sports car. There was something he had seen from atop the roof, something worth checking out, a someone.
Azzen makes whatever motions a layman might consider required of him to redy some healing magic, but in truth he was just standing back to see how this would all play out while keeping his distance from the danger.
@RC3
I’m keen to start ASAP ;)
Can’t wait to start eating and absorbing other creatures

Changing my personality. More brash and adventurous.

Oh and Damien @Dark Light can run across Venus if he likes


Oops, missed this.
So what happens when I try to rewind the cctv video Surveillance to a previous day?
Damien leans back, lifting the nose of his board and grinds the tail across the concrete slowing himself as he arrives at the empty mall.
He stared up at in disbelief looking over the still emptiness of what he feared most but couldn’t believe.
No one was anywhere to be seen.

Fear quickly vanished and was replaced by a wide excited grin. No one was anywhere to be seen!

He dropped his board down and jumped back on it rolling into the mall. Just then he heard the rumbling of a motor race off into the distance. So not completely alone.
He wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Either way it changed his destination.

Hopping off his board Damien moved around silently instead, for now. Sporting goods, camping store, music shop, electronics, snack shop and security room.
Took him a while to get into the last room but with the supplies available didn’t take too long. In no time he found footage of the others and replayed it a few times before trying to view the previous day’s footage.
