"High level doesn't mean they can't be killed solo." 'she' corrected as 'she' drew her Nodachi, revealing it to be a Phantsmal class weapon now that it was 'equipped', as well as recasting her buffs. "and yes, I prefer actions over words for earning trust, leave that for later, we have Ogres to kill." 'She' said before attacking the Ogre trapped in the whirl wind, the damage of her sword and Soul Weapon taking chunks out of the Ogres life bar with each swing.

Dante visibly became more agitated as Titania spoke about 'trust', and how it should just be given instead earned.
"Talk to me of trust only after you've been given several reasons to not trust people." Dante snapped. "And from the way your talking you clearly haven't yet. You do not demand Trust of others, nor do you get it by threatening them, you have to earn it, by actions, not pretty words, or talking about personal shit, that is frankly none of your god damned business in the first place." The Fox-tail said, her tone starting off fairly hostile, but as she spoke reigned it in to one much less hostile, but still stern and defensive.
"I'm here to do a job, and I will do it, with or with out you, and even alone if need be, and if you don't think you can do it with out first prying something out of us that you have no business even asking for in the first place, then just stay out of the way." With that, Dante, done with the conversation, turned, and started toward the Ogres.

With that, Dante, done with the conversation, turned, and started toward the Ogres.
Dante gave the mage a look of 'really ...' and sighed internally as the other two replied to the request to 'share their feelings'. "I got nothing." It was a lie, naturally. "Even if I did, I just meet you all. I'm not about to talk about my 'baggage' to a bunch of strangers." 'She' said as another boulder sailed over their heads toward Kyoto "Besides, we have more important matters to tend to."
After accepting the party invite, and pondering why it took that long for them to party up to begin with, 'she' set off with the others, and after an hour or so of walking, found their target.
Light was quick to come up with a basic plan, and one that was not lacking in terms of being a solid plan that would work in most cases with the level gap at play. Dante looked over the mob for a few moments longer "It could be one of those bosses that drop a Banner that buffs it self and near by adds of it's type." 'she' started. "So we should pull the adds away from the boss, and AoE DPS burn them down then roll over the boss, with the only thing we'd need to deal with is the Banners, assuming this one has that ability, which given it's level, it probably does." 'She' continued as she dug through 'her' menu, for what turned out to be a second sword, a Nodachi, that a fixed it self to 'her' right shoulder. "If we get the boss in the pull, I'll get it's attention and pull it away so you guys can handle the adds."

"Was that really necessary?" 'She' asked as Kagami came out of the brush, and sheathed her sword.
"Chiziru" 'She' replied. "and you'll have to ask our cleric about joining up. I don't have a problem with it though." Dante added, and waited for the others to decide. Notably ignoring the drops from 'her' kill as she approached the Guardian.

"If they are PKers, then there's no issue." Dante said and started toward the sounds of combat, and cast Keen Edge, Reflex Boost, Gain Immunity, and Soul Weapon. "Besides, if they PKers, it's best we remove them now, then have to deal with them on the way back."
Dante closed in on the sounds of battle quickly. Three targets, two where low on HP and one was still at full HP. Knowing how PKers work the one with full HP was probably hanging back. Dante lead off with Whirlwind Vacuum Slash, keeping 'her' voice low to keep the PKers from noticing 'her' till it was to late. Only one of the PKers was in range, the one with full HP. 'She' followed that up with Skull Splitter, to close the gap quickly before the Paralysis effect of 'her' opening attack faded.
The Paralysis faded, and the PKer turned to try and parry and counter Dante's follow up attack, only to end up eating a parry/counter from the Fox Tail, followed by a normal strike to the PKers gut, causing the PKer to back take a few steps back, yelling, demanding Dante identify 'herself', 'she' didn't, no words wasted on 'her' target, instead 'she' did a short hop forward, parried a knife thrust, a countered with Seal Throat Stab, leaving him unable speak, and wordlessly telling him to 'shut up' in the process, before finishing him off with Whirlwind Slash, 'her' Soul Weapon, which had been doubling her damage out put the whole time, delivering the final bit of damage.

"No problem." Dante replied. "It's not like we can just ignore the Ogres" 'she' sighed, "Sides, what else is there to do right now?." 'She' asked as they walked a long. "It's been two weeks, no one save a handful of people is willing to leave the city, and the majority of them are PKing people."
'She' shook her head. "Sorry, I'm just frustrated." 'She' said intending to just leave it at that.

Dante arrived at the source of the explosion to find it was not an explosion at all be a big ass rock some one had sent flying into the town.
"I am looking for a party im a level 90 cleric looking for escort into the back woods to deal with the ogres who is probably the reason behind this." A cleric said a few moments after 'she' arrived at the scene
"Ogres huh, guess that makes sense, this close to a town like this though? Could a sworn the average level for mods around here was much lower." 'she' thought as people mumbled a bit "Wow ... don't all jump up at once or anything ..." Dante snarked internally at the seeming lack of volunteers, before pushing through the crowd. "Chiziru, level 90 Samurai. If you want it, you have my Sword." Dante said once 'she' was sure the Cleric in question could actually see 'her'.

Two weeks ...
Two weeks of food that looks good but has no flavor, and drink that is just as flavorless. That wouldn't be totally have been terrible if it wasn't for the boredom. The combination of not needing much gold to live, and not being able to die left some people deciding to take up mugging and player killing.
Though that didn't stop some people from still trying to go out and do things just to keep them selves busy. Dante, for the most part found him self just trying to get used to his new reflection and people calling him 'Chiziru'.
The most part, Dante ether hunted PKers down and introduced them to the business end of 'her' sword, or acting as a guard against PKers. Which turned out to be surprisingly effective once word got around about a Fox Tail Samurai decked out in Artifact Gear that reflects damage, and a high counter attack rate. Which tended to keep PKers away from who ever 'she' was keeping an eye on.
'She' was just coming back from guarding a Carpenter out looking for wood for something, when there was some kind of explosion. He was rather chatty while they where out, not that Dante minded. Much like in the game, a 'talkative party' generally makes things better.
After parting ways with the Carpenter, Dante decided to go see what the explosion was about.

N/A
Bio:
Dante started playing Elder Tales due to his now Ex-Girlfirend. She'd been playing it for a couple years before they'd met and even had a guild. Dante went through a few characters before settling on Chiziru, liking being on front line and all the damage a Samurai could lay down per hit.
Once he settled on a class, he was formally brought into the guild and His Ex and their guild mates and grew into the off tank role, and from there starting reaching for gear and stats to spec Chiziru toward 'offensive tank', cause if she wasn't gonna worry about holding agro unless adds are around, then he figured she should be more about damage.
For 2 years this was the norm, and for that 2 years that was enough. But personal issues, both in and outside the game, caused him to leave not only the guild, but the game for almost a full year.
Dante's return to the game didn't come with the announcement of the expansion, though. It was his mom's new husband, and his new step brother. Both he really only tolerated for the sake of his mother, his step father more then his step brother, but he found both overbearing, demanded more of him then he felt ether had any right to.
Though the return to the game was slightly complicated by his change of region. Not long after he left the game originally he and his mother moved to Japan due to his mother job, as she'd been hired to teach English to Japanese students, and her hooking up with, and then marring a local pretty much sank any chance of going back to the states any time soon, so he'd need to transfer things over, even going so far as to change the name and look of his character to match the change in region, though further distancing him self from his Ex played a part in it.
From there, he spent the time before the launch of the new expansion 'getting his legs' back in game, and collecting the passive, 'Arcane Might', which is from a special quest chain in the 60s, due to Fox Tail's not really being the best choice for tank roles due to them mostly getting bumps to their INT and WIL stats on level up. Relearning his class, and his skills which didn't take long, and while he wasn't 'raid ready' yet, he was more then ready for the lower end content, content he would use to get back into shape.
Personality:
Pre-Apocolypse 'Chiziru', specially, post region transfer, came off as cold and distant, due mostly to the fact Dante was really there as a form of escapism. Communicating when needed while in a dungeon or some low level raid, but not much else.
Before 'the break up' with his Ex and his old guild, he was much more outgoing and open, chatting and cracking wise during dungeons and raids.
