Jacks smile grew even wider as he looked to Damian with a new fire within his eyes. "Then lets start off with the big guns!" he laughed as he looked to the bartender. "You know what I want," the bartender smirked and shook his head as he glanced to Damian.
"Get ready for a long one kid," he chuckled before going into the back. Jack quickly downed his drink and sighed with relief.
"This is gonna be good," he muttered before spotting the bartender returning with two trays of mugs filled to the brim with beer. He placed one tray in front of Jack and placed the next in front of Damian. The bartender chuckled before going back to his other duties and leaving the two alone. Without hesitation he snatched the first meg and looked to Damian with a grin. "You better not wuss out on me to early!" he laughed before chugging down his drink.

"Mercy! Mercy I beg of you!" a bruised and beaten woman screamed as she was dragged away by armed men for hire. They threw the woman into a cage filled with other ladies of all ages and continued to cry out for mercy. Sadly their cries went on deaf ears as Yamir counted his earnings from his employer, a wealthy slaver from across the sea. He hummed a tune as he counted his coins and grinned with satisfaction as he saw a small bonus. His employer must have noticed as he chuckled and gestured to the cage.
"You managed to get me some very young and fertile goods, my current buyers seem to pay higher for them. I figured you earned a bit more," he chuckled as he looked around the village they were currently in. Above the village lingered a black cloud of smoke that rose from the burning houses. In the dirt roads that traveled through the village blood mixed with the mud and several bodies laid scattered through the village. Men and boys of all ages were hacked down as useless product and the peoples belongings were being gathered in the center to be divided up between the other mercenaries that were hired. The slaver smirked as he was pleased to hire the right people for the job. Yamir smiled as he put his earnings away with a nod.
"Can't say it was fun working with your sick ass, but thanks for the payment," he said before turning to his fellow mercenaries. "Alright lads, lets split up our loot and head to the nearest tavern to spend it all!" the men laughed with agreement and they began to divide the loot from the village, but a sudden howl from one of the men filled the air and a mercenary fell to the ground with a arrow in his back. Yamir groaned with annoyance and unsheathed his sword as what he could only say was the remaining men of the village charged from their hiding spots to attack the band. Yamir scoffed as he saw that they were armed with only farm tools and rocks.
"Don't know when to just die do ya?" he mumbled before charging towards the remaining farmers alongside the other mercenaries. Yamir was the first to reach them and smirked as he reflected a farmers pitchfork with his sword and made a quick cut along his throat. As the farmer gasped for air and gurgled on his blood Yamir patted him on the head and pushed him to the ground before marching towards two more charging farmers. The look of death filled both their eyes, but Yamir only found it to be adorable before falling to his knee to duck under a young farmers hatchet swing. As he ducked under the swing he leaned to the left to avoid the second farmers makeshift spear and grabbed it before yanking him back and sliding his sword into his gut. He let the farmer fall to his knees and shot to his feet as he pulled out his dagger. The younger farmer was now fearful as Yamir grabbed the back of his head and plunged his dagger into his eye. With a shriek he fought to save his life, but failed as Yamir twisted the dagger with a wet crack. The farmer went limp and fell to the ground.
Yamir gave a bored look as he cleaned his dagger on the kneeling farmers shoulder and sighed. "I swear the younger they are the dumber they get," he mumbled before looking back down to the farmer who was holding Yamirs sword in his gut. He gasped and moaned in pain as he spat up blood. Yamir smirked and pulled the mans head back so he can look into his eyes. The farmer glared his hatred into Yamirs eyes, but Yamir only returned it with a cocky grin. "Here," he paused as he gripped his swords handle. The farmers eyes widened with terror and Yamirs grin only widened. "Let me get that," he chuckled before twisting his sword within the farmers gut and cutting his belly wide open. The farmer could only gasp in shock as his organs spilled onto the mud. Yamir shook his head and kicked the man into the ground as he sheathed his sword. "Never gets old," he said before heading back to the loot. "Now, where were we!?"
Beneath Victors armor stands a rather pale skinned man that reaches about 6'1 and weaighs close to 220lbs. His face is somewhat scruffy and mostly covered with dirt as a thin un-kept beard lays there. A scar runs down over his right cheek and his eyes are a dull grey while his short messy hair is a dark brown. It's rare to see Victor without his armor on, but when he's not wearing it he mostly just stays with a thin white shirt, leather pants and leather boots.
"Class": Knight.
Motivation: To serve the throne with honor and send the kings enemies to their cold graves.
History: Victor doesn't know much of his village since he was only a toddler when it was attacked by bloodthirsty raiders. He would have died within that village had it not been for a group of the kings knights that were chasing the raiders down on his orders. After the raiders were defeated Victor and other newly made orphans were taken in by the knights and brought back to the capital. It was honestly a stroke of luck for Victor and his fellow orphans to be saved. Victor and the others were soon taken in and at the right ages of 10 began their training. Their training to become proper members of the kings Vanguard.
It was a brutal and deadly start to Victors childhood, but to this day he is honestly thankful for it all. All of the abuse and injuries has made him into a real warrior of the throne. He will forever be indebted to the throne for giving him a chance to prove his worth. As Victor reached the age of 17 he was put into command of a small group that happened to be his fellow orphans of his home village. It was a bit of a shocker for Victor, but he was told he managed to gain his position because of his skills in leadership and strategy. He was hesitant at first, but he quickly adjusted and took command. It was only a group of 6 good men, but Victor was proud and thankful to be their leader. A week after his new position they were sent out to hunt down a band of deserters that killed a noble family and fled. It took a two weeks to catch up with the deserters, but they managed to ambush the weary party and were quick to kill them off. As the last of the deserters were killed Victor came across a few scrolls that held clear and hard evidence that the noble was given the right to enslave and kill as he wished by the king. With no hesitation Victor burned the evidence with the headless bodies of the deserters and returned back to the king with the traitors heads.
Today Victor continues to lead his small party and is as loyal to the throne as ever. He is simply another dog of the king and he is honestly happy with that. He will serve his throne along side his fellow dogs and protect his home.
Strengths: Excellent swordsman, leader, strategist, loyal and fearless.
Weakness: Short tempered, stubborn, reckless and not very sociable.
What is the most important thing to know about your character?
Victor may gladly kill and die for the throne, but he will also go out of his way to aid the kingdoms people if they are in danger. He was trained to be not only a guard dog of the throne, but to also protect its people.
What is your character's greatest flaw?
Victor is quick to give up his life to ensure victory.
Why should your character be in a position to influence an entire country?
He is a skilled warrior ready to lead an army and destroy his enemies.
"Archers! Loose!" Victor roared as he raised his sword high above his head. In an instant a flurry of flaming arrows shot passed him and hurtled down to the beach below them as several ships of raiders landed. Howls of dread and pain echoed as many raiders met their fate from the unmerciful wave of arrows. Victor couldn't help but smirk under his helmet before he looked to a near by Sargent. "Take command here, have them continue their barrage onto the raiders main forces before turning their fire on the ships landing with renforcements," he ordered. The Sargent saluted and began barking orders to the archers who were already prepared for their next volley.
Victor quickly made his way to his men who were standing at the ready with the attacking wave of men that were to take on the raiders head on. His men looked eager to stain their blades and Victor gladly took his place with them as they awaited the signal to attack. After what felt like forever a horn filled the air and Victor was the first to bolt down towards the beach. The war cry of a hundred men, including his own boomed through the air. The ground seemed to shake and Victors men were quick to come to his side as the neared the poorly maintained invading party. With a savage look of bloodlust the raiders charged forward with their own war cry and both armies soon clashed. Victor ducked under a raiders axe and tore his sword across the raiders exposed belly. The raider cried out in pain before one of Victors men finished him with a hard blow with a mace.
Victor continued on to drive his sword into another raiders chest before head butting another who tried to bring a hammer down on his skull. He kicked the raider from his sword with a grunt and roared as he drove his sword into the other raiders shoulder. The raider howled in pain and pleaded for mercy in a foreign language, but Victor simple pushed down his sword and made it to the raiders chest before he yanked it free from the mans torn flesh. He paid the gagging raider no mind as he turned to see his men and other allied forces easily driving the poorly maintained attackers back toward the burning ships that had just landed. Screams of death and cries of mercy filled the chaotic air, but Victor simply watched with a sigh. The battle was already won, this was just an excuse to wet their blades with blood. A groan came from below Victor and he looked down to see a struggling raider with a spear in his gut. He looked rather young, maybe in his late teens, and glared up to victor as he spat hateful words towards Victor in a foreign language. Victor only shook his head and planted his boot onto the dying mans chest as he grasped the spear within his gut.
"We may not understand each other, but know that you and your filthy brothers in arms died for nothing. You will burn in in hell without the pride of victory and howl in dread knowing you were cut down as nothing more than a rabid dog," he spat as he slowly twisted the spear with in the young raiders gut. "You, a rabid band of dogs were killed by proper dogs of war," he finished before driving the spear deeper into his gut. Like a hammer hitting a nail the body went limp and the life drained from the raiders eyes. As Victor stared down at the corpse a horn sounded within the air and he looked up to see several of his comrades cheering in victory as they watched the retreating ships burn as the kings navy surrounded them. He smiled with pride and tuned to leave the beach with a chuckle. Victors men were quick to join his side and together the small group of orphaned soldiers of the Vanguard marched off to deliver their king the news of their victory.
Jack watched as Kage left and grinned as she stated that there was no such thing as a friendly brawl. He chuckled and knocked back the rest of his second mug before moving on to his third. He'd have to teach her wrong someday. As he returned to his drink he glanced over to see Damian come over and take a seat. Jack gave him a grin and shrugged off the fact he was listening in on him and Kage. He's sort of use to people listening in on him. Most were contract killers, some from the government and on a few occasions the Boss himself. Damian though is a new little listener, the only difference with him is that he's not out for Jacks head.
Soon Damian began to voice his concerns about Kage and how he wanted to clarify a few things about her and her past. Jack just listened while taking a few sips from his drink and let Damian words floated around in his head. Honestly he had a point, Kage was a little odd and it was sort of weird that she was able to get around his level so fast, but as Jack said before, he doesn't care. He let Damian finish and sat in silence as he pieced his reply together. After a few seconds of silence he sighed and looked to Damian. "I guess you're right, everything about her is strange. Her skills are top notch for a newbie and her past is nothing but a freaking mystery. But," he paused for a second and let his face drop into a slightly serious look. "Some of us don't want people knowing our past. Be it either out of shame, distrust or simple privacy most people would like to keep their past in the shadows. Take me for example, you think I was always like this?" he asked with a dry chuckle. "When I came here I was a bit like her. I stayed away from people and kept to myself while keeping my past hidden. Two of those three things have changed. Not a single person in this guild knows my background, I would hope, and I pray no one ever will," he said and sighed as he returned to his drink for a quick sip.
"What I'm trying to say is that she may not want people to know for her own reasons. I'm sure as hell not gonna pry on it, so why don't you do the same and stay out of her business? he said as he glanced over to him as he drank for his mug. "And if she has a secret that will put the guild in danger then I'll do my job and put her down," he finished coldly. The two were silent for a moment, Jacks mood was a little bit ruined now, but he knew how to fix that. He tapped on the table and held up five fingers to the bartender who nodded and went to get his order. He looked back to Damian and grinned. "Besides, the whole mystery vibe she gives off is a bit cool don't ya think? Makes me want to test her abilities myself," he chuckled and thanked the bartender as he slammed five mugs onto the table. He slid one over to Damian and grinned. "Come on now, lets have a drink. If ya want we can have a friendly challenge!" he laughed. He need to brighten his mood, so why not drink!
