Edei Delanore

0 · 494 views · located in The Ruins

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Celedia

Description

Picture: Image

Name: Edei (Pronounced Eee-Dee) Delanore

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Eye color: Brown

Hair color: Green

Height: 124

Weight: 5'9"

Appearance: Edei is a soldier through and through. She carries herself proudly with her shoulders back, head high and well-toned physique always seemingly ready for action. Her gait is composed of long strides and she likes to meet things head-on both physically and emotionally. She usually wears black, fitted clothing and if it is cold enough for a jacket then she has on her worn leather jacket that has seen years of use. Other than that, she is usually well-armed carrying two Desert Eagle pistols and an assortment of knives.

Personality: She enjoys many things in life, despite her past but anything that pushes her limits, either physically or otherwise, tends to be the most enjoyable. One would think that because of her father she would dread failing but instead she just learns to push harder, think faster and perform better than she did the last time. That is the only way to succeed. To anyone outside of a select few, she might seem standoffish and she really only opens up to people that have her respect.

Power: Aerokinesis. Though not technically a hardcore offensive power, Edei has learned through years of training to augment her military grade fighting skills with her manipulation of wind and pressure. She can either protect herself by tweaking the air pressure around herself to form a shield or she can throw people small or great distances by lobbing air currents at them.

Bio: Edei comes from a military family which isn't surprising, if you've met her. Her father was a SEAL and since Edei was his only offspring she was subjected to his disciplinary techniques. He set a daily itinerary for her which she had to follow or punishment followed, usually in the form of some sort of physical penance or later in life... Hand to hand combat against her old man. When her powers were first discovered, her schedule changed to the following. 0500: Wake up, 0530: Breakfast, 0545: Morning chores, 0630: Morning Workout/Practice, 0730-01530: School, 1600: Homework, 1700: Afternoon Practice/Workout, 1800: Dinner, 1830: Evening Chores, 1900: Night Workout/Practice, 2100: Lights out.

Her mother on the other hand was a quiet, behind the scenes woman that was devoted so completely to her husband that she never questioned his methods. One time, Edei found her mother sewing in the living room and poured her heart out about how troubled she felt with their lifestyle. Her mother proceeded to slap her and tell her never to question her father, or life, again. She never did and since that day she has been molded into the perfect soldier. Adept at hand to hand combat and weapons use as well as having her powers augment her fighting style.

Because of her upbringing, she is ambitious but not overly so and performs better when she has someone in authority give her tasks to complete. Sadly, her childhood has also seemingly stripped her of sympathy and other like emotions, leaving behind someone that is ruthless and will get the job done at any cost.

So begins...

Already seated in a booth in the back corner of the bar, a slender woman with long, cascading brown hair sat with her back towards the wall. It was a position usually chosen by anyone that had combat training- keep an eye on all exits and entrances and never leave your back bared because who in the hell knows when someone was going to stab or shoot you?

Not all people fought honorably.

That was one of the reasons she had come seeking a member of Invictus. Their latest call to arms had seemed straight forward enough and perhaps it was time to fight for someone other than herself. Tapping her fingers rhythmically against the table top, she continually cast her gaze over the room.

Well, that was easy. She had assumed that hunting down one of the members of Invictus would cause her to lounge about the bar all day. Instead, Invictus had shown up en masse with one of the big wigs at their helm.

Never to be one to let opportunity go to waste, Edei slid her lithe form from her corner booth and tugged at the hem of her black tank top self-consciously, pulling it down further over the waistband of her faded jeans. She hadnā€™t expected for the majority of the members to be dressed so nicely.

Still, she held firmly to her confidence. Pushing her shoulders back and holding her posture straight, she walked over to the gang just as they were pulling chairs and tables together and when she heard one of the men reply, ā€œNot it!ā€ at the thought of paying for drinks, a smirk curved her lips as she leaned over the table, between two members, and tapped her numbers into the holomenu at the center of the table.

ā€œHow about I grab that for ya?ā€ Her eyes landed on Phinx as she grabbed her own chair, spinning it around so that as she sat, her legs straddled the back of the seat. ā€œIā€™m Edei and I hear youā€™re recruiting.ā€

Edei inclined her head to Phinx in a brief form of greeting. Not very warm and cozy but then again, she wasnā€™t a very warm and cozy person. She felt the leaderā€™s eyes roll over her and took the time to do the same. This Mary Lynn Munroe lookedā€¦ Impressive even though it was not exactly what she had been expecting from the head of Invictusā€¦ For some reason.

ā€œPhinx,ā€ she tried the nickname once before continuing. ā€œSo, I assume I donā€™t just get magically accepted into the groupā€¦ Though that would be much easier and would waste less time.ā€ A ghost of a grin crossed her features as she stood up, wandering behind the bar the grab a bottle of whiskey and a stack of glasses. ā€œI can fight. Iā€¦.ā€ she glanced at the other members of Invictus then shrugged her shoulders as she came back to the table to sit down, pouring a shot of the whiskey and sliding the glass over to Phinx. ā€œWell, letā€™s just say that like most everyone else in Wing City, I have a few tricks up my sleeve as well.ā€

Suddenly, a true grin filled in the void on her mouth where the ghost of a smile had been before. First impressions were everything and this woman was cutting straight to business, something that Edei not only liked but admired. She didnā€™t bullshit. Kudos.

ā€œI have been trained by an ex-Navy SEAL in hand to hand and firearms. I prefer pistols and knives as weapons and can usually augment my fighting style withā€¦. Certain powers.ā€ The men had begun to take the whiskey, pouring it into glasses and passing it amongst themselves, effectively ignoring Edei and Phinx though they were no doubt listening in.

ā€œI take orders well but can also devise my own if the situation calls for it. I keep secrets, can drive motorcycles and cars, have a pilots license that is only a year old and through various, previous encounters have found that I can usually withstand a considerable amount of torture though I will spare you the gory details.ā€

The only question that she had overtly ignored was the one about retreat and with the sudden influx of information, Edei was sort of hoping that it wouldnā€™t be noticeable.

ā€œFather.ā€ She said immediately after the question was posed and she doubled back to the bar to grab a bottle of water, then grabbed another since she hadnā€™t seen Phinx take anything to drink either. As she slid back onto her chair, she set the bottle in the center of the table, not forcing anything as she uncapped and drank her own.

ā€œI have secrets that I may share at a later date but thisā€¦ā€ she pointed her finger between the two women with a smirk. ā€œIs still a little too new. Same concept. I fight better if I have the advantage and I keep my advantage by few people knowing about some of myā€¦ abilities.ā€ The pauses in her statements were brief but noticeable to those that paid attention.

ā€œWhat is Invictus about? Iā€™ve heard many, many rumors but I want the truth from the source.ā€ It wasnā€™t as if she had many moral qualms since she had been trained to kill on command during her younger years. Hierarchy, orders, loyalty- those were drilled into her so the Invictus would have no worries about her ability to keep secrets, at least.

ā€œI saw the fliers, the TV spots, but what are we striving for?ā€

Edeiā€™s shoulders stiffened slightly at Phinxā€™s last words. Yeah, she knew. A little too well, probably, because she was in the same boat. Which is why she had sought out this gang in an attempt to ally herself with themā€¦ There had to be a way to redeem herself for past transgressions, right?

Yet the response, ā€œGood,ā€ was all she said out loud and she took another sip of water. Enough to wet her throat since it had suddenly turned dry. ā€œSoā€¦ Iā€™m in? Trial period, I assume?ā€ The next question would probably sound odd but sadly, it was a question that Edei was used to asking. ā€œI can spar someone if you wish to see my limits?ā€

ā€œThanks,ā€ she said honestly as she palmed the card, dragging it towards her and then slipping it into her back pocket as she stood up. Thoughts raced through her mind as she wondered about the test. She had been through so many before that they were becoming a breeze but she had heard certain whisperings about Invictus that made her think that perhaps this group wasnā€™t like all the others.

Perhaps she would find her redemption.

ā€œPleasure, Phinx,ā€ she nodded her head towards the woman and then turned her attention to the man and women gathered around her. ā€œI guess Iā€™ll be seeing you.ā€ Light laughter fell from her lips and she gave a brief wave before turning for the exit. If she would be sparring with an unknown, she had to make sure she trained up for it. How embarrassing would it be to get beat in her first fight in front of these guys?

As Edei entered the bar, she repeated almost exactly the same movements that the gentleman before her had made. Her piercing eyes swept the bar looking for threats but her posture held confidence and a hint of violence. The stature of someone that you wouldn't want to mess with but her countenance seemed friendly enough that you might approach her for a conversation. In truth, the first time she had come into this bar was when she had been looking for members of the Invictus so that she could join them. Something, anything, to use her skills for something far-reaching. Something that would affect more than herself and her own little secluded world.

Yet today she had come for something much more simplistic- a drink. Her trial run with the Invictus was drawing close and she had been training nonstop in order to deal with whatever they threw at her but today was a singular day of rest and relaxation. A much needed reprieve from her rigorous schedule.

Stalking her way through the bar, easily evading the haphzardly placed tables and chairs, she made her way to the bar and squeezed in between a rather leggy blond woman and Sergio so that she could place her order. The bartender seemed busy so she punched a request for a bottle of Connemara and a glass into the console then sat upon a barstool waiting for its delivery.

Edei didn't have the command of her facial expressions that Sergei seemed to and instead of a neutral countenance, a variety of emotions played across her features in a short span of time. Her eyes openly flicked to the man after he drew her attention with his movements. A slight widening of the eyes and a perceptible arching of her brow as she wondered what someone like him was doing in a bar like this. Taylor's seemed far better suited to his demeanor than Gambit's so why wasn't he there?

Confusion, followed by slight suspicion. Her eyes narrowed as she now made the effort to take in more information about the gentleman and she continued to do see even as his mouth began to move and he began to speak to her. Was that a hint of an accent? She noted height, coloring, build, weight, and yet more physical features as she tried to discern why she felt on edge with this man when he was being cordial and perhaps even flirtatious. Was it her upbringing that caused her to think such things or was he really worth worrying over?

She decided to loosen up and stop obsessing about danger so she flashed him a winning smile and nodded. "You can buy me all of the drinks you want, I'm not going to argue." The statement was followed by a soft chuckle, a far cry from the laughter that women in Gambit's usually exhibited. This wasn't a high pitched ecstatic or even soft and girly giggle but still the sound was feminine. "Gambit's stocks whatever you wish for them to stock. Come back more than once and they seem to already have a case of what you desire in the stockrooms. They're used to it since they have to feed multiple species..." Her eyes ran over the man once more as a smile curved her lips. "I'm Edei and you are?" Her beverage was delivered and the robotic server poured her first glass before sitting the bottle within reach for subsequent drinks.

Edei's brow quirked a bit more at the now quite obvious flattery that this man was laying onto her. Not that she minded, of course. He was handsome and he didn't seem like he was angling for money yet she still couldn't shake that feeling that he was dangerous. A feeling which set her shoulders a little straighter as she couldn't fully relax. Perhaps, with a few drinks that would change but for now she was obviously not easily drawn in by his charms.

Since he had made mention of her choice of whiskey, she turned the conversation in that direction first. Seemingly ignoring his question about her reasons for being in the bar but then again, what did anyone really expect for that answer? A deep and heart-wrenching story from a stranger? Or the more common reasoning that a bar was the place to go to for food and drink which meant that she wanted one of the two.

"Connemara whiskey? I am surprised you've heard of it. I only learned of it on my last trip to Ireland a few years ago." The golden amber liquor was one of those complex whiskeys with a dozen different aromas and notes to fill out its flavor profile. Edei liked it because it was one of the few liquors that she could drink straight. "So I've come here because Gambit's is one of the few places that will order it in for me. How about you? You don't seem the type of man to frequent Gambits. More of a Taylor's man, if you don't mind my saying so."

Though she had no real experience with intrigue and manipulation, Edei always trusted her gut and something continually told her that something wasn't right. This man was out of place in this establishment. Too smooth, too friendly, too eager. Then, even after a round of flirtation his story for being here was that he was chasing some other woman? With the tactful addition that things may or may not be ended between the two of them but he still held some sort of hope. A more romantic person might think that this man was everything they had looked for. Caring, charismatic, at the very least comfortably wealthy. Perhaps single but still so entrenched with the relationship that he wasn't letting go quite yet.

How swoon-worthy.

Yet his form and eyes called to a different persona, as did his intelligence. His worldly nature which was implied by his knowledge of Connemara but also of Italy, and not just the provinces usually visited by tourists either. Sadly, intrigue was tempered by wariness and she decided to play his game. Leaning forward, to seem more interested, she took a long, drawn out sip of her whiskey before seeming to play right into his hands.

"I'll have to visit there the next time I am in Europe," she smiled at him, tapping a manicured fingernail against her thigh in rhythm with the ambient music that was barely audible above the din of the bar. "So tell me, who are you looking for? I have been here a handful of times... Perhaps I have seen her?"

Sadly, while the man that sat mere inches from her, thought that he was in the home stretch, Edei was now running a mental checklist of people that she had met in town. Searching for the name in her internal rolodex while outwardly looking as if she was truly pondering. "Ilse Klein?" she tilted her head slightly to one side before shaking it once. "Hrmm.. You're right, I've never heard of her."

A brief pause filled the air and she took that time for another sip, then another, of the Connemara. The cool amber liquid sating her dry mouth for a moment before she spoke once more. "Not to overstep our obviously blossoming friendship," she smirked. A subtle joke that she hoped he would find humor in since her next question would be a bit more hard-hitting. "But are you coming to confirm the rumors that she had a child with a younger man? Or is there something more that you're looking for?"

Her gut instincts about the man coupled with his newest sob story and she briefly wondered if he was seeking revenge. Men were like that, she knew. Egotistical in the respect that if they couldn't have someone than no one could have them. Perhaps he was hell bent on making that happen. Or, perhaps he was simply a man who had lost the love of his life and wondered if she was still unscathed.

Edei felt the left corner of her mouth twitch slightly as if she was going to smirk or smile but neither expression made its way onto her face. Instead, she simply listened to Sergei and observed his face and gestures while he spoke. Perhaps a part of her felt responsible for his change in demeanor. He had strolled into the bar so confident and happy go lucky with an edge of flirtation lacing his movements but now he seemed so reminiscent. So lost in his own thoughts that even when his voice filled the space between them she couldn't help but notice that it seemed softer.

The papers were unfolded for her eyes to peruse now told of the link between this man and the woman he sought. They had been married. Edei wasn't familiar with the legalities of divorce but with the presence of both signatures upon the papers she could see that he had been harder to convince that the relationship had ended than the woman had been. Who was this enigmatic Ilse? The story itself almost made her want to search out the woman to placate her own curiousity instead of simply helping this gentleman deliver his paperwork. Truth be told, she would be keeping an eye out for Ilse Klein from now on.

"You sound as if you haven't truly let her go. Even now." Edei said plainly but not without a hint of compassion. Surely even the stoic soldier woman wouldn't curbstomp a man when he was already downtrodden. Another tilt of her glass and she had finished off her first round of whiskey and she lifted the glass bottle to pour herself another, then offered to do the same for Sergei if he was finished with his previous drink.

"If she ran away with this young man then what makes you think they are here in Wing City?"

Ever been to Gambitā€™s?

While definitely not the pinnacle of taverns, Gambitā€™s is still well-kept enough to bring in people by the dozens. Sure, the constant random brawls, bar raids and random puking patrons may not seem like a warm and cozy place to have a drink or two but no matter what happened at Gambitā€™s someone was always there to clean it up and make the place look as good as new once more.

Sadly, the meeting place chosen for this ā€˜gathering of the mindsā€™ was not on the same level as Gambitā€™s. Hell, even though their employer could probably buy out half of Wing City they were relegated to a small, dimly lit shack of a building with a one-eyed disgruntled bartender that gave a choice of whiskey, rum orā€¦ whiskey. It was rarely frequented by anyone not associated with the people now gathering within.

Two brunettes strode into the shack together. One strutted directly towards the bar to slip Petey a wad of bills for a bottle of his ā€˜finestā€™ as well as his silence while the other laid claim to a table in the corner. Sitting with her back to the wall, Edei kept an eye on the door with her fingertips drumming rhythmically upon her leather clad thigh.

Edei stared at each new entry warily while wondering why in the hell her employer could possibly need the four of them to work together. The other chick had guns slung into the holsters attached to her belt so she was definitely a fighter. Joe looked like the old fashioned strong man from the traveling side shows and Hawleyā€¦..

Her gaze swept over the last of the group to enter, assessing him silently. Though he didnā€™t look outwardly threatening, she couldnā€™t help but shake the feeling that he was just as dangerous as the rest of the group.

Tilting her chair back so that it rested on two legs, Edei balanced herself precariously and folded her arms. There was no way in hell that she was drinking around these people until she knew why they were here.

So she cast a sideways glance at Gabi and cleared her throat. ā€œLooks like weā€™re all here. Why not let us in on your little secret?ā€

Edei picked up the closest folder, the beige one, and began flipping through it for more information. Clear green eyes shifted back and forth as she read quickly and quietly, picking up what little information they had on the first target.

ā€œSolinus Sea beach address. Upper middle class condominiums. Wouldnā€™t be easy to hit. Security everywhere in the form of guards and tech.ā€ Her eyes flashed up quickly to Hawley as she directed her questions at him, since he had provided what little info they had.

ā€œAnd the man? We donā€™t have a name or location for him yet?ā€

Gabi snatched the beige folder straight out of Edeiā€™s grasp, closing it to view the picture clipped to the front.

ā€œHot damn! Who cares? I call dibs on stalking this one.ā€ She wandered back to her chair, frowning at the bare bones info located in the file.

Edei rolled her eyes and took the second folder to scan the info on the woman, next. ā€œTattoos make database searches easier. I have a cop or two I can bribe for more info.ā€

Jade green eyes, hinting at darker and more dangerous things, met Hawleyā€™s even as a smile tugged at her mouth. ā€œAhhh but I canā€™t be the only one to believe in the rule of never underestimating anyone. She may be the primary target but we shouldnā€™t push the man to the side just because he doesnā€™t seem to be a threat.ā€

Letting her own chair fall back on all four legs, she reached back and snagged the other folder from Gabiā€™s hands, clutching both close to her chest as she rose into a standing position.

ā€œItā€™s still early. Iā€™m going to hit up my contacts and see what info I can get.ā€ Straight to business, Edei wasnā€™t the type to mess around and before she made a move towards the door she spouted off a phone number.

ā€œMy cell. If anyone has more information, let me know. Otherwiseā€¦ā€ Her brow arched and she looked slightly amused at the whole cloak and dagger bullshit that they had just experienced. ā€œIā€™ll be in touch.ā€

The Butcher of Wing City snarled a foul howl, echoing into the night as he arrived back upon the mortal plane. His boots crunched into the familiar hunting ground, carrying him forward into the darkness to find a new victim.
