INHERITANCE - transhuman sci-fantasy space opera, bespoke system

I have this old thing that I dusted off from oh say 4 years ago or a little less technically.

My Hider

Name: Ashvath
Soulcage: Bijali
Fragments:
Monumental waves crash against the battlements as gale-force winds blow aside the opposition.
A flurry of movement, vision tinged red, cries and screams so close yet so far at the same time, total lack of control.
A ghost town on the coast, void of life, and as quiet as the depths.

Aesthetic: Like the ferocity of a hurricane captured in a bottle, swirls of gray and blue with streaks of white and flashes of yellow adorn the soulcage in no particular manner or pattern. The frame itself is stocky and wide, built like one would imagine the knights of old. It towers above most, a picture of grace and poise in the fluidity of it’s movements. Simply humanoid in form, the soulcage’s appearance does no justice to the explosive capabilities harnessed within.

I just copied it over from last time so I don't know what still applies, I'll go back over it sometime later or tomorrow, just gonna leave it here for now so I don't have to go find it again.

The tired voice that Adrian had heard whilst eavesdropping betrayed nothing of the beauty that now captivated him. Had he been a less disciplined man Adrian might've went slack-jawed even. He'd heard many a rumor of Leadbelly Kira, and a name like that didn't do much for one's imagination, but Adrian's imagination couldn't have concocted that which stood before him regardless.

In an attempt to distract himself, and avoid being called out for staring, Adrian let his gaze wander around the room as he tried to pick apart the many layers present upon the walls. Most noticeably to him were the items clearly placed there by Kira as either keepsakes or for functional use, Adrian could only guess which. Shuffling sideways ever so slightly to ensure he wasn't to close, Adrian watched as the vampire's agent seemed to leave as quietly as a breeze followed by his entourage.

Turning once more to their host Adrian was once again captivated, this time no paltry attempt at distracting himself could tear his mind away from the captivity of his deepest vice. The woman before him was like nothing he'd ever laid his eyes upon. From the modifications to her own flesh to the manner with which she dispensed of a minor annoyance, Adrian was lost deep in the trenches of desire. He pulse quickened when her hand split and she set about addressing the weapon or whatever, Adrian was barely attempting to keep up with the actual matters being discussed.

"Good, and you, Adrian? I hope you're not one of those runaways who decided to be an ascetic."

As his name fell from her lips Adrian felt his heart drop, his chest tighten, and his palms sweat. Suddenly his earlier problems were entirely forgotten and his trance broken as he swished deep into an overly dramatic bow, accidently slapping one of Chwegwn's bodies in the brow as his left hand rose into the air with a flourish.

"Never you worry madam! I was merely stunned by your beauty is all, Adrian of House Lybar at your service, though we've, as in myself and the house, had a tad bit of a falling out as you may have surmised. Hopefully we can keep that information amongst us friends here though, yes?" Adrian spoke with a carefree tone, betraying nothing that would hint that his earlier disposition had ever been. Remaining in a low bow he tilted his head back to allow him to flash Kira a smile and a wink, still remaining in pose. "And how might one such as I make myself of use to one such as yourself?" He asked, attempting not to be too overly suggestive, but perhaps not being as subtle as he intended either.

Ello, I feel like I've partaken in an iteration of this at one point. Bandi sounds very familiar.

@rush99999 So something I don't remember us clearing up, did you pick up the good doctor before or after your last job? Also so excited for so many new characters!

Pirates of the Darkening Skies

Adrian's first thoughts were that of worry, frustration even. It would seem that they'd been offered up for some sort of mission. Judging by what Adrian had overheard he wasn't entirely sure if that was a good thing. Whoever this Desolator was certainly had two of the higher powers of Kontina concerned, that alone stroked Adrian's paranoia. Adrian took a moments to roll his shoulders and crack his neck, letting the familiar actions soothe his nerves as he took a deep breath and set about analyzing the situation.

Kira and Orohome were both considerably influential, and that was aside from their actual raw power. This 'Desolator' was an unknown to Adrian but perhaps the situation could still prove to be advantageous. Possibly working under a high profile individual such as these two might warrant his pursuers choosing to stay their hand for a time, perhaps not. Either way Adrian could likely count of Orohome keeping any information regarding him to herself for now as long as his presence proved to their benefit.

With his jaw set and a look of determination Adrian made to follow his captain and made an effort to shake off the paranoia that had been plaguing him thus far.

Doing this still?

Pirates of the Darkening Skies

I noticed that typo but I didn't wanna say anything lmfao.

Pirates of the Darkening Skies

I never portend anything. But uh, I like these ideas.

Pirates of the Darkening Skies

I am currently in no position to critique pacing

@Excession

It's okay, me too.

At the urging of his captain Adrian began to relax somewhat, centering himself even more as they arrived at their destination and were ushered from the streets. Adrian let out a sigh of relief, momentarily dropping his guard before his wandering eyes caught sight of the spider over his head. Once more his paranoia set in as Adrian couldn't help but wonder if Orohome knew of Adrian's origins. That information could prove dangerous for Adrian in the wrong hands, or worse should the wrong people figure out his location. Adrian tried to be as nonchalant as possible as he moved to draw his hood lower over his face. Meanwhile he followed his captain's lead and strained to also listen to the voices beyond the doorway.
