@Flamelord, I'm aware that Lenier is male.

But Yui doesn't.

Yui felt a tickle in her nose.

She held her tongue, internalizing the desire to carve some sense into some of the other Daybreakers that rushed ahead. Their decision and actions were true, but the path they took to arrive at their decisions gave her nausea. She tightened her hand into a fist, cracking her knuckles in the process. This was no place to lecture anyone.

Why’d you do that? You know it weakens your grip, child.

“Name’s Yui, I’ll be countin' on ya and the old man if things get sticky. I 'ppreciate your level headedness.” She smiled at girl who identified herself as Lenier.

She actively ignored the voice. Refusing to be agitated anymore, the girl started after the old man, aiming to trail several feet behind him. Frustration was a fuel that burned out too quickly, blood thirst too imprecise, and confidence...she rolled her eyes. Confidence as a foundation? A sad laugh echoed in her mind mirroring her own feelings. The source of the confidence determined its true worth.

No matter how common the situation, no matter how trivial the task…

Never let your ego get the best of you. It’ll always be the things you take as certainty that ruin you, drive you to your knees…

Good girl.

Yui stared at the bowl with a curious suspicion.

A lanky figure towered over her, a soft musk filled her nose as he was very well in her personal space. His eyes were soft, and despite his devilish appearance, he gave off a very genuine aura. The distance between their two bodies was that of small metal sauce pan filled with a lightly colored liquid. She felt the warmth of its mysterious contents tickle her skin through the layers of bandages and mantle.

“You look like you can use a little pick me up.”

Her eyes rose to meet his.

“A friend of mine runs the inn, this is their specialty: stone soup. It’s on me.”

Truth be told, she’s never had soup before. Taking hold of the sauce pan with both hands, she peeked under his arm at a thin elderly woman and a young brat smiling at her.

“Do try it, dear. Darsan’s many thing, but surprisingly not a liar...” She clicked her sharp tongue, before cracking a wry, knowing smile.

The man hovering over her pulled back and tilted his head towards the frail elder.

“That’s Troma, she owns the building next door. The little man is Josh, her grandkid. Go on, try the stew.” He gestured a drinking motion and rubbed his stomach. He was mocking her almost clueless stare. Slightly embarrassed, the girl quickly raised the liquid to her mouth.
-------
Yui had done a fair share of traveling, and it wasn’t by chance she found herself in Bosesa.

It lacked the glamor of the Lastlights, and even compared to small towns it was definitely lack luster. But Bosesa meant travelers. Travelers meant traders and excavators. To her, those things meant family. Her thoughts danced back to earlier in the day...

"Same old same old, but recently, a real sketchy group of scavengers came by. Could tell by their faces that they were up to no good, but what could a frail lady like myself say against such burly, scruffy men, right?..."

The earth rumbled above her once again as she approached the small group at the center of the town. Pulling her receiver out from underneath her mantle as she came to a stop, Yui set the device gently at her feet. Looking towards the inn and the building next to it, she found the outline of three figures facing in her general direction.

Seemingly late, but with a lead, the girl opened her mouth.

"Sorry for takin' so long. One of the locals said there was a group of scavengers passin' by earlier in the day. I'm guessin' they got trapped up top. Probably shouldn't be waitin' too lon' since there's a good chance this is a rescue mission."

________________________________________
Yui desires nothing more than to be infinitely powerful. She wishes to become an indestructible galactic wrecking ball. To attain this senseless power she’s willing to push herself to death and beyond, all the while still expressing as much joy and enthusiasm as someone who’s borderline dead can maintain.

“What does it mean to live? The question is a sharp blade that pricks at my skin every day, beggin' for an acceptable answer.

The answer I arrived at is that to live is to suffer. It’s undeniable. The sooner you come to accept this fact with a genuine smile on your face, the sooner you’ll take full responsibility of your own life and that of others.

Then, from there, you’ll find meanin', purpose, and maybe happiness.

Obstacles and walls start becoming things you look forward to. Every ounce of pain and sufferin' that life dishes at you adds to your determination and will to succeed. The difference between me and my father is that I refuse to become jaded by this pain. I refuse to become some miserable, unfeelin' knuckle head that sucked the life out of everyone around him. I’m sure you can all relate in some way. Don’t let other people’s doubts and their lack of vision and hope, push you off your path. You must stand up…step up and take control even when everyone else in your life is afraid to do so.

After all this is what it means to move forward, to create a new world, to become better than we are.

The trainin' you underwent, the hardships you’ve endured, will undoubtedly illuminate your way forward. You aren’t just a bunch of wishy washy salvagers out to find their next meal. You are the pioneers that seek out the relics of the past to pave the road to the future.

With that, I wish you the best of luck out there, Excavators.

Humanity depends on it.” –Graduation speech at the Institute of Excavation

Would you like us to go ahead and post our sheets in the Characters tab? Also anything that you want to discuss or want me to edit on my sheet?

@ERode
Doubt and uncertainty would probably be one answer.

The other could be her selfish desire is to incredibly and undeniably powerful, but she also cares about the prosperity of humanity because immortality is boring alone. What use is being the greatest if there's no one to toast you or hold parties and events in your celebration?

She naturally wants to help people because it's the right thing to do, but it also help helps pad her fragile(?) ego.
