"If progress means domination,then I'd prefer live uncivilized"

0 · 474 views · located in Empire of Valon

a character in “The March of Progress”, as played by TRUE-ASSASSIN

Description

Image


    Full Name:Edmund Elshwarz Rosemary

    Nicknames/Aliases: Shelly and pretty recently,Eddy.



    Age:27

    Gender:Male

       Species: Till the thirtieth generation,the human's blood was fused with the elven.
However,later on to preserve the Honor of the family such mix was avoided.
Edmund can be considerate a three quarter human with the last quarter elf.


Occupation:Headhunter,mercenary ex-mage



    Description: Edmund is of an average height,not tall or short.Probably inherited by elves,his ears are a little pointier than human.
His hairs are black so his thin black beard.He is pale skinned and his eyes are brown.
On his forehead,there's the Mark that indicates his magic descendant.It is hidden by the hat's shadow and a "false skin".
He is always seen wearing a brown coat and his sword: he goes nowhere without it.
Plus,it is rather rare to see him without his hat

    Personality:Edmund is what can be called "Lone wolf": Work alone,live alone and have fun alone.
He is one thing with the work,as headhunter his preys hardly slips.
He have few relationships with persons that are similar to him.
He loves to test his luck in cards on in every possible way:that's why his economic situation is unbalanced.
He is also addicted to alcohol.
 

    Skills:
-Hunter: From tracking to distance-elimination,Edmund has a certain experience at dealing against stags,deers or wolves.

-Swordsmanship: Having nothing to do,Edmund dedicated himself to the arts of sword-wielding,reaching an impressive level

    Weaknesses:
-The sealed mage: Edmund's magic potential has been blocked since a young age.Utilizing magic is rare and difficult,impossible to shape it.
However his body still produce Magic energies and,if forced by correct machines,can support a Magefire generator.
So,Edmund won't be able to cast real spells,but release bursts of pure energy.

-Technology-phobia: simply,Edmund do not trust Magefire-running machines: flintlock pistols are enough,airships are acceptable.
But when entering in towns,he starts to mutter hateful words,about Magefire.

Right-hand fighter: Edmund never thought about training with the Left hand: he is skilled with the sword only with the Right hand.
Switching between hands is pretty difficult,so breaking his right wrist,disables his ability to correctly fight with a sword.
 
Equipment

-Half-and-a-hand-sword: Edmund's favorite weapon: tool for victory of thousands of battles.Edmund mastered the use of this master craft sword and wields it with unborn talent.
-Gundagger:
Edmund's dagger has few variants,that allows him to fire projectiles through a flintlock gun installed in the dagger.
The grip stores ammo,while up near to the blade,there's the trigger.
Plus,the Dagger is a useful quick-skirmish weapon.
-Ammunitions: Purse containing projectiles and gunpowder for the Flintlock pistol


Brief History:
Firstborn of three brothers,Edmund's early life was already a torment,beyond the eyes of the infant.
Rosemary's family is one of the oldest dynasty of mages that eventually helped Valos.And the discovery of Magefire,extracting magic force from other being indeed scared the Rosemary's mages aswell.
Edmund's magic potential seemed to be exceeding and if not stopped,it could grow reaching levels enough to alert VEGA's agent.
Even if Magefire extraction was not practiced on sentient beings like Humans or Elves,Edmund's potential could easily alert The VEGA and take from the family the firstborn.
This is why,at his fifth birthday,his relatives sealed Edmund's Magical energies in his body.To avoid overcharge,the seal will weaken and allow Edmund to release energy.
After that,he always had eyes on him: either secret agents from the VEGA or Rosemary or school companions.
He wasn't the best student,but no one could beat him in sports.Maybe,sealing the Magic his physical strength grew,not visually however.
Growing he started to become what can be called Pest,trying the best life could offer.
Sometimes he provoked the Golems that patrolled the town,leading to few problems and obviously complains.
It happened that at the age of eighteen, Edmund started to look at the world with different eyes: he discovered many things: what was possible thanks to Magefire and soon he started to join the mechanization of Valos.
He could serve VEGA as an hunter,catching subjects and extract Magefire from them.
He started to work in a party,catching animals able to generate energy and turn it into Magefire.
Then he discovered to be excellent at such art: he started to offer his services around,catching and hunting down men.
His thirteenth hunt for a Magefire Station was the last for the VEGA cause: he was sent to catch a "renegade",a saboteur that stopped the Magefire course through a district.
Found the prey,he recognized his victim: his third brother,standing against a wall,as he started to plea at the hooded man.
He explained about what happened to the Lord of Rosemary,his dad.
They thought Edmund's now-forgotten magic capacities were because the Elf descendant: but no.
His father gave to him such a feat and like he'd been,VEGA captured and utilized his father as a source of Magefire.
The world knew it? Probably no...and who'd care?
He removed his hood and instead of killing his brother, he fled.To nowhere.
As the Magefire marked in other ways the world the range of disturbed life grew.
Edmund knew it was time: everything that begins ends....and the Magefire will meet end by his hand.
   

So begins...

Inside the local was warm,unlike the cold night outside.
The place was lightened by lanterns of small sizes,sticked on the wooden walls.Thinking that few years ago the place's brightness was hold by candles.No,now there was something "new" in the air...instead the lanterns's light was kept living thanks to the miraculous newly found energy.

There were many voices,happy voices,too loud to understand what they were announcing.Laughs,smiles that would exterminate the sadness from the Tavern.
Finally in Peace! The Long awaited peace! Thanks to the Empress,the energy runs through all Valos in a blink of an eye,and keeps living all the Happiness!

In a corner there was a round table with around four persons dressed in common ways,talking with a low voice,compared to the stereophonic effect of the Local.
It was sure that they weren't here to pass good time like all used to at night time: else they'd be laughing and probably not in a desolated table in a corner.They were here for something,unknown.
From the already loud atmosphere few notes could be heard near the lonely table.
A man then stood up,irritated by the presence of the artists,followed by the other three.They moved to another table.

Meanwhile,on the opposite side,a man was wasting his free time in...an exceeding comfort.
He was alone in a table with the feet on it and drinking a not small glass of beer.
He was near the happy mass,sometimes commenting to the nearest person.
He wasn't speaking that much afterall.
Then someone near him started to talk about the Energy: Magefire.
Hearing that word,the man sitting in an inappropriate way,felt somewhat a tick: nearly he fell down the chair,if he wouldn't stand up.
Unfortunately,the chair fell and attracted the attention of everyone.
"Well...what are you watchin'!? A chair fell!" The man said,rising his arms.After the mass started to speak to eachother again,the guy talking about Magefire aswell.
This time,the man stood up and strained his ear to better hear the conversation.
"So,darling isn't this magnificent? Everything running like it never did?" The man said,to a woman.

She answered:"Sincerely it is fantastic: the introduction of...this...Magefire is great,like the steel men that patrols the town! But now a day I'm starting to wonder where it comes from!"

The name,whose name is Edmund could not accept that thing: Ah,if the world would open the eyes,if many things would come on light...
Edmund took again his seat and continued to drink from the jug,deciding to enjoy the night.

The four men,since the chair fell started to look at Edmund.Noticing that he didn't noticed them the tallest,probably the leader,whispered something and they left.


Few minutes later,Edmund was somewhere in the local.This time he wasn't alone: he was with four bags of gold on the center of the table,a card of deck near it and four daring gamblers like him.
They were in the middle and,so far,Edmund lost somewhat half of his pocket...not that he carries a gold mine behind.
Plus in confront of someone,Edmund had few chances.And why not in this quick game?
The Happy air was still young,and it would continue till the morning,probably.
For their luck and Edmund's misfortune,the challengers had to leave,called back by the wives.
Edmund returned in the solitude with his new gained purses.
He hoped for events,straordinary events that would lead to adventure.
Danger,fun,runs and friends! When was the last time he ran for his life? Few years ago,time for another.
And friendship,something he was lacking....
He was thinking about these events.Now he was thinking where to find them

Edmund rised his head,seeing a man,not that tall...around his height.

"Is this seat taken?"He asked,peeking at the deck of cards on the table.

Edmund looked around and took the last drink from the mug and posed the glass on another table.
"Here to test luck aswell,might? Well,first steps,the guys playin' here just left..." Edmund said leaning on the chair.
He took the deck of cards and shuffled them with expert hands.After that,he put it on the table.

When a waitress came,he ordered two beers,and to fill a steel canteen.

"So,what's your name" Edmund asked drawing cards from the deck.Then he took a bag and put it on a table.
"I'm Edmund...Edmund Rosemary at your services" Edmund said,lowering his hat.
When the two beers arrived,he took his mug and posed it where his glass used to be.Then he gave the other glass to the man.

"Logen Dannan," he said, taking one of the vacant seats. "Look, we're already best of friends." He graciously accepted the drink. He took a sip, manners restraining him from chugging.

"So what's your game?" Logen asked, gesturing towards the cards. This was nice. He took more comfort from this tavern than he care to admit. This one specifically, as it hadn't taken full advantage of everything Magefire had to offer. He could tell that only a few traditional amenities had been replaced by Esoteric conveniences. Speaking of which;

A dull, increasing louder clanking could be heard from outside. Golem. Just patrolling. Logen hissed, barely audible. Why must the blasted things be so loud? They we're already glaring obvious, even without his abilities he'd be able to track one a mile away. The golem passed, its stoic face peering into the tavern window as it went. Logen took a long sip of beer, cold eyes staring back at metal ones.

"The classic money-stealing...Poker" Edmund said,looking at the drawn card and taking a relatively little sip from the mug.
"Good that we made friendship" He rose his mug."To Friendship and Fortune?" He said,noticing that his companion was looking out of the window.

Effectively,he heard something perhaps,metal beating against something.No,not inside the tavern,outside.
He moved to the left to better see the scene.
A golem - the newest "breed" of filth - was moving around the place...too near.
"Flatfoot...Hmpf....better leave before they'll get me" Instinctively,Edmund stood up from the chair after the brief and simple thought.
"Ahm...Logen? Right? I...noticed that I'm having a deal with someone....nearby" Edmund said,improvising.Afterall,he couldn't stand up and leave...it was...suspicious.

"If you usually come here,then we might meet again...Logen" Edmund said,walking further from the table.
He waved his hand and exited from the Tavern.
Near Logen,Edmund felt something like a continuing tickle.
A strange tickle,that Edmund wished to scratch off.Anyway he was on the run.
Something stopped him from running further,however...the expression of Logen...he turned to look at the Golem in a way that would call attention.
Edmund decided to climb a low roof and wait there.

It has been a while that he wasn't chased by someone...and probably the time-record was going to be break by VEGA once more.
The main problem for the VEGA was that Edmund was a too...precious subject to loose.
Plus,he knew things that could compromise VEGA's incredible reputation.
The classic four elegant-dressed men appeared again,from a dark district below Edmund.
They didn't noticed anything,since they left the place talking to eachother.

"Ah,I have enough of this!" Edmund said,jumping off the roof and slowly walking back to the inn.
All the idea was...stupid: in the inn he could use the numerous customers as shield and gain time to run from the Flatfoot...or metalfoot,by now.
He returned to the inn,with the same sensations: Warm,well lighted place.But with an invisible sense of fault,dwelling in the air.
Or was it an Edmund's impression?
He walked in the wooden hall and blinked at Logen,before noticing a door.
"Later....later" Edmund was thinking,while looking if anyone was observing him.
After noticing that nobody was,he opened the door and quickly slipped inside.It was a dark room,with few torches lighting the place.
He decided to enter in the room,for curiosity and discover any path that would lead to safety.
He walked down the stairs,careful to don't miss or trip off.
Then he heard a sudden shriek,a sound that surpasses any human's standard.
Because of the Surprise,Edmund lost balance and nearly fell off the few steps from the ground.
The place was cold and full of barrels...there were few torches that breached the dark of the cellar.
Edmund decided to investigate: he checked for something to use as a weapon....he had one.
Then he heard other buzzy sounds,coming from the North of the Cellar.He slowly walked ahead,careful and looking around every corner.He hates cellars: too many barrels and covers.
Then he looked ahead,to see few shades,generated by the light.
He moved to a barrel and prepared to alert the strangers.
"Alright,Who's there?" Edmund said,holding the handle of his beloved sword.

"Alright, Who's there?" a voice cried out just as Nicolai had placed the sawn-off leg on the table next to him.
He then picked up a oil lamp.
"Just a doctor taking care of a patient that's all." He answered the voice.
At the same time he started walking towards the voice.
"And what about you ? Another so called ferocious warrior fighting for 'the greater good.' Or are you just a curious fellow walking around in the cellars ?"
He took his mask on.
"Whatever the reason it seems I have to change medication area now." he said with a deeper voice thanks to the mask.

"True men fights for no reason,Doc." Edmund said,initially walking away from the lantern."Plus,name your so-called 'greater good',and I'll see if it is really 'great' or 'good'" Edmund said,taking from his belt the metal flask and took a drank.
"But tell me,shouldn't medics work in frontiers or in Hospital" Edmund said,while moving toward the light of the oil lamp,his right hand on the sword's handle.
He walked in a natural way,probably too natural.
"I'm...off to explore,doc.,in a world changing at unnerving speed,we have to move as fast huh?" Edmund said,continuing his task to find any special galleries that would lead to safe zones,since few years ago,buildings could be victim to shakes by creatures and such.Nothing.
"Well,if you don't insist,I'm leaving you with your patient Doc." Edmund said,drinking from his flask."Cheers!" Edmund whispered ironically walking back to the stairs.
