-----[Planet: Aeneanastor] [Location: Downtown Docks]----- 30 minutes after time warp

The dripping of blood woke Paul from his deep slumber. As his bloodshot eyes opened up, his senses started to return to him. The numbness on his face began to fade, and he was repulsed by the cold stone ground beneath him. His entire body was sore, but Paul managed to get himself up off of the ground and out of the pool of his own blood. His nose was still dripping, though oddly Paul could not remember the cause. There was a lot that Paul couldn't remember, actually, but whatever he was forgetting, he knew it was very important. But what was it?
Paul started to walk. A bit of a challenge at first, since his legs were weak, but he managed to limp over to the edge of the docks, right above the water.
Strange, Paul thought, confused. Isn't my ship supposed to be here? And why am I so bloody?
Paul's knees gave out from under him, and he fell down to look at the murky water below.
He stared for the longest time at his war-torn reflection. He looked so much older, with scars cracking along his face, and blood splattered over his entire body. As he moved his hand along one of the scars, his memories flooded back to his mind.
His heart was immediately heavy with sorrow and loss. All of his friends, people that he had fought side-by-side with, were slaughtered mercilessly in a surprise attack. Their bodies were defiled and used as another tool to bring about the end of the Archons, a tactic which could only be done by beings of pure evil. Tears began to flow down Paul's face, a feeling unfamiliar to him. The tears intermingled with the blood dripping from his nose and mouth, an effect of the time warp that he was forced to initiate. Taking a few minutes to calm himself, Paul replaced his sorrow with a thirst for revenge.
Paul stood up, quickly now, reinvigorated by the new possibility he had made not only for himself, but for his closest companion, Marcus and his lover, Maya. As the presence of his spirit guide, Corvus, returned to him, they both agreed that they couldn't let his friend's sacrifice be in vain. The survivors would carry on their legacy, not scattering the memory of them to the heartless void but instead using that memory to fuel the passion of vengeance. Paul's hands tightened into fists as he looked out into the sky beyond. It was time to end this.

I'm assuming Ace will do the same thing if he ever stops playing that came and comes on then. Sounds like a plan and if I had known you were doing that I could have brought back like Paige. I loved Paige, she was my favorite character, still is lol

@Daxam

Not terribly long, just however much you feel you need to reveal to us. Probably 2 or 3 sentences minimum, nothing big.

Kaalee, yes we are.

Sacrifice

Name: Paul Hetfield
Age: mid to late 30s
Archon of: Time

Appearance

Physical Attributes
Appearance: Paul is relatively thin, but still muscular (so pretty much a swimmer's build). While he once focused on his strength, his use of dagger has caused him to adapt to make himself more agile, with his training allowing himself to move incredibly quickly, usually meaning he can kill at least two grunts before their synapses can register his being there. He's fairly tanned, and his once relatively clean body is heavily scarred and bruised, remnants of his many battles.
Physical Weaknesses: Whereas he could once lift entire foes and at least throw off heavier ones, Paul's changing of his training focus has left him devoid of those abilities. Unless there is a weak-point to be exploited, Paul is often useless against heavier enemies. While years of training has left him with incredible prowess in the use of his abilities, he still has his limit and extending himself can leave him drained.
Physical Strengths: Paul can move faster than one would think, with his lightning fast dagger strikes being able to quickly and seemingly effortlessly cut through hordes of enemies. His enhanced reflexes allow him to process information quickly, which with his agility makes him good at dodging.

Mental Attributes
Personality: At the beginning of his journey, Paul was a naive young man with a sarcastic wit and a twitchy impulse. He's been fighting for so long that he has been changed, going from a light-hearted adventurer to a cold-hearted warrior. This isn't just a game to him anymore, this time he's playing to win. Because of this, to your average fellow (or, say, up-and-coming Archon) he can come off as needlessly brutal. His justification for this is that he's seen too many of his friends die to spare these monsters. The only two people that he lets his guard down around is the Archon of Light and the Archon of Water, respectively, as they are the two who have been with him since the beginning. Only with them can anyone still see the Paul that once was, the sarcastic and energetic fellow that the war has forced him to leave behind.
Likes: Archon of Water, Archon of Light, revenge, coffee cream
Dislikes: losing, friends dying, naivety, gypsies
Phobias: people close to him dying, insects, failure

Background
Biography: Paul was born to a regular mortal mother and an Archon father. His mother died from West Nile virus at the age of four, and while it didn't have much of an effect on him, it certainly effected his father. His father became extremely protective, teaching his son how to fight the way he had. The two did almost everything together, although at the the age of fourteen his father passed away from unknown causes. While his father was a privateer, Paul himself chose to take up a much less noble profession: pirating. Amassing a crew at a remarkably young age, he took whatever he pleased and all that jazz until he was discovered by the Archon crew. He left his life behind him and joined the Archons, moving from the sea to space as a brash adventurer. He fought valiantly, but eventually his world was brought crashing down as one-by-one his fellow Archons were slain mercilessly, all except for one his closest friend, Marcus, and his lover, Maya. With Paul using the full extent of his power, the three of them were sent back in time in order to give them all another chance to finally beat Ragnarok. In this new timeline, Paul is taking less risks and has done away with morality. Paul has already died in one timeline (albeit, that was a slightly different Paul) and narrowly escaped another timeline. This time, he's determined to win.

Combat Information
Typical form of combat: Paul is lightning-fast as he gets up close and personal with his dagger. He fights dirty, and will do whatever it takes to beat an enemy. Watch your tender bits, bad guys.
Preferred Team Role: Infiltrator
Weapon: A dagger, formerly his father's, which channels his unique abilites.

Dagger

Unique Equipment: He always carries around an old pocket watch of his father's

<Snipped quote by presdino115>

Well, I wasn't on the old site... does that mean that I should be afraid?

@Joegreenbeen

I'll let you be the judge of that

"How's it going Bat-brain? It's been a while."

As the title suggests, it has indeed been a while. I was on this site like... 4, 5 years ago? Back on the old site I was known as Ace_Riku, I mainly did superhero and sci-fi stuff... now that I'm back I'll probably keep doing superhero and sci-fi stuff...

So, yeah. I sound like an awkward high school kid. Unsurprisingly I am an awkward high school kid, so now you know more than you wanted.


^ that represents me contemplating what my parents used to say about sharing information on the internet. Oh well.

Anyway, if you remember me from the old site, don't be afraid to say hi.
