Silphio smiled. "Good, you'll need to work together here. I'll be taking my leave unless you want to have a swing at me now" Silphio stood up and proceeded to start to walk away.

"A couple. Storms, I shouldn't have to do this, there are orientation authorities for this type of crem" Jacien approached, Hand resting on his daggers. "Ah good, you're here. These other two people you see are members of your team. You three have one week to defeat me in a fight. If you win, I'll pay you each 200C and you'll get more jobs from me." Silphio looked at all three of them. "Do you accept?"

"You're in the alleyverse. It's a different planet from where you were from, I assume you're from Calamity Earth?" Silphio noticed the Haunt. "I've heard about you Haunt, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance" "No luck there, He listed three names then asked them to meet with him. Your name was on that list."

Ok, So some stuff happened with Devaan, here's his character sheet (and Hellbent's).

The barkeep nods to Jacien as he returns. "Silphio Shamus wanted to see you, he's 'round the back"

I’m far too intimidated by them to, but if anyone wants to, they’re welcome to!

Silphio let out a laugh and started hovering in the air. ”You’re an epic. New around here, I see. The fact that you are asking me that suggests you just ended up here recently.” Silphio looked the man up and down. ”Is that a leg injury? Looks like it. You appear confident with your powers.” Silphio coated his hand in bone-white armour that rose from under his skin, he placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, seemingly oblivious to the heat. ”So, your name?” @Invocation

“And you are?” Silphio asked, not even phased by the man’s appearance

“Yes, gather the other two and try to beat me in a fight” Silphio told him, smiling at the shardblade

“I’m Silphio Shamus, leader of the Canton of Combat, I would like to hire you, but first appraise you and the other’s skills. You have one week to defeat me.” Silph told him.

My turn! Devaan, now in control winked at Max and walked out the door, down through the winding streets until he arrived next to a house. He knocked twice in quick succession and said. ”I had a brother once” ”And what happened to him?” ”He flew too close to the sun” ”Icarus? I always pictured him as a Heracles” ”More of a Daedalus. Isn’t that right?” ”I’ll prepare the ronin suit for you now” The door swung open and in the hallway that followed was a mannequin, it was dressed in a long coat, gloves, a leather cord around the neck and black pants. Devaan ducked into a side room and hurriedly changed. ”The Daedalus lab has been a supporter of my actions, I keep the Chrysts flowing, after all.” Devaan flexed the gloves and lighting arched out of them. The Jacket created a forcefield. Stopping most damage, bullets would at the most bruise. The pants were taken from an epic with space manipulation, the pockets could hold an incredible amount of things without changing shape. ”motivator technology, it’s progressed well” ”There’s something else” the man at the door told Devaan. “Oh?” A katana was given to Devaan, with a sheath that was magnetised to Devaan’s coat back. He merely needed to clip it on and it would stay locked there. ”And this is?” “The Ronin blade, sir” Perfectly balanced, the Katana shimmered when it moved, reflecting the light off of it. ”there is a harmonium core in the blade, a single cut will leech someone of their investiture, the aluminium alloy used lets it be immune to the effects of investiture as well” You wanted an aresenal, now we have one. The cord when tapped forms a helmet that covers the face and provides a helpful HUD. This is the Ronin, and it will put us on par with our enemies. @Ark1002

Silphio Shamus strolled into the odd job tavern, Canton insignia mixing with the crest of the Knights of Blood, emblazoned in a unique design on the back of his coat, A long staff was strapped to his back, he looked at the people gathered in the tavern and selected three names. “Freyja Torial, Nael Haydawn and Jacien Aican. I require your services, meet me at the back of the tavern in two minutes” Silphio nodded to the barkeep and walked out, waiting.

Honerva dropped to a knee, falling to Silphio's eye level. "Are you worthy?" she asked, her skull staring at him with hollow eyes. "Do you, a mortal of less than a century, deserve this honor?" Silphio smiled at her. ”An honor isn’t deserved by anyone, but earned through work. I believe I have worked enough” Honerva stood. ”Then rise, Silphio Shamus, Chaptermaster of the Knights of Blood” Silphio rose. this ends era 2 for the Canton of Combat, any post afterwards will be in Era 3.

Well there goes our sniper problem. I can’t get a read on the guy though. Devaan did a small hand-wave, signaling Max to ignore the last message. Two pistols, already drawn, the sterrion is stronger, but his are already out, you’ll have to find cover fast if this devolves, although we may not need to help them. This is the Ghostblood council, after all. Here, have the hands back. I’ll focus on getting us out if this escalates

Devaan divided the area around him into four quadrants, two of them would have enough of an open area to expose the council to nearby roofs. Judging from the bullet trajectories, that narrowed it down to 5 or 6 buildings 40 degrees to his right. He surveyed the room. If the sniper starts shooting, dive left and turn that dining table on it's side. That should cover you from the sniper, another cover is the console area directly behind you, that would have a higher chance of stopping high-caliber bullets, but you have to be careful as If the sniper goes for you first you won't have enough time to leap over. Mind if I take control of your hands quickly? Go ahead. Devaan began moving his hands subtly, angled towards Max in a way that only he could see, it was some time since they had used this system, but he taught it to all his students. A mixture of sign language and what seemed to be fidgets created a rudimentary method of communication. Hopefully Max noticed the message. He repeated it three times. Watch Max's hands, don't turn your head, just your eyes. Devaan signed the following three times: //Sniper. 3/0 Deg. If fight, take Sebastian I take sniper// @Ark1002 @I think I am here.

Perfect, that would be really good.

I would be willing to approve it, because it's incredibly different it's difficult to score so long as It doesn't make a character incredibly overpowered by association with it. I suggest the core component be kept in. Additionally, I would prefer if it changed owners fairly regularly, but that's really up to you, but also try to make sure it's owned by other people's characters as well.

Devaan searched each roof he could see for a sniper, anything that would give him away, the glint of a gun barrel, the small shift in movements. Not having to worry about moving let him focus on being hyper-aware while Hellbent was in control. Top priority is finding the sniper's line of fire so we can identify cover. The sterrion I concealed in our coat will take too long to draw, even if the sniper isn't focused on us, he should be able to switch targets and fire before we can get a shot off, if you want to draw, take cover first. Devaan surveyed the area, assessing each council member. If Max has unlocked Sethramir's power, this wouldn't be a problem for him. If Sebastian came here to face down the council, he might have reinforcements, or the sniper is heavily invested. The handgun is made of normal steel, not aluminium, but it's loaded and ready. If a fight breaks out, you focus the sniper, Max would probably either take Sebastian on or protect his council members, Lusk is tricky, he's probably going to save his own skin. The others don't know we aren't invested. So if we get hit, fight off the pain. @Ark1002

Hellbent, I just remembered a place we can get some weaponry, it’s in Oasis city, so before we leave here i’ll make a stop somewhere

Correct!

You ghostbloods really do have a problem with leadership, hostile takeovers aren't healthy for a guild

I'm ignoring @whattheHoid's second guess. So far everyone is incorrect. This character has at least one sister

Got it, I'll do that now Please, do.
