"Canen Osiris?" The voice sliced through Osiris's daydream, returning him swiftly from the land beyond his UI to the virtual reality of the Astorea bounty office. The sound of a low cough echoed around the painted room, quickly accompanied by one of the three-strong delegation on the opposite...

Canen hadn't been around for the nightmareish Red Fever event, but he had heard enough about it that he understood its consequences well enough. Those who had participated had faced unspeakable trials that eventually claimed the lives of at least nine players. This would serve as a permanent...

100 -45 retal damage How did this sorry son of a bitch ever get the drop on us? After watching Drago summarily dispatch a thunderous blow with a conjured Warhammer into the assassin, Canen circled around on approach, anticipating the enemy's next move. Indeed the aggressor, though injured, was...

100 -30 retal damage The interruption of additional bandit reinforcements conjured an odd blend of feelings for Canen. Fear blended with anger, annoyance danced with confusion. They all knew that the game's NPC's were automatons of death that lacked any hint of hesitation or humanity. Killing...

125 -25 retal damage The woman he would come to know as Solaria had asked for a finishing blow. The best way to kill a spider in the house was to burn the house to the ground, and Canen's prowess afforded such assurances. Without a look, a smirk, or a clever quip, the monk stepped quickly and...

120 +30 HP from healing -25 from retaliation damage "Any more tricks up your sleeve?" Called out the swordswoman who had bravely attacked the disgusting amalgamate. She unfortunately had taken some punishment as a result of the attack, and Canen grimaced for her as he saw her wounds. He flicked...

A dangerous opponent approaches! 125 (-10 retaliation damage due to protect.) Buoyed by the assistance of the blue haired youth and, most recently, the green haired woman, Osiris silently steeled himself for the next assault. Talking, after all, could come later. The first buffed guard with...

Enter Kazui, the assassin! 125 Half a click behind them, a shadowy wraith moved in and out of the road, crouching as he approached the pair of Canen and Drago The thick foliage served as excellent cover for his vantage point. Creeping forward slightly, the assassin could see the pair talking...

A dangerous situation; dealing with the berserkers! 125 He had been ambushed, and now he was on the back foot. Dew glistened on the now vacant grass patch where the first of the two strange bandits had stood not a second before. As Canen's fist carved through nothing but air, the wily NPC...

120 The woman probably didn't either want or need his help, but the bandit's blow never landed. Instead, the burly man's face contorted into a pained, defeated expression as he collapsed to his knees just in front of her. In the centre of his back, sparks of purple electricity danced on the...

Canen turned back towards the way from which he had come, finding the time to calm his lungs before his pursuers caught up with him. The men had followed him tenaciously from the nearby Eastern Brisshal. Their stiff clothing and the swords worn at their waist restricted them to an awkward...

The as yet nameless woman stood in front of him, arms folded. Whilst she seemed ready to help, Canen knew there was a certain level of apprehension in her. It was well documented in human psychology that folded arms was a certain 'tell' for a defensive posture, but did it really tell him...

A kick of adrenaline rushed back through Osiris's body, coursing all over his skin as Juni's punch made contact with his abdomen. He inhaled heavily and wrenched his body to the left instinctively; trying to absorb the impact of the blow as best as he could without physically defending it with...

"Well," Canen said, turning to the adolescent woman beside him, "That's the rub. It seems that she logged in to her father's game without his knowledge or consent. Sadly, with no security features, it seems easy enough to do." The man, peering up at the woman through the darkness, frowned and...

As if a behavioural switch had suddenly flicked within his brain, Canen's eyes lit up. Gone, for the moment, were the carnal desires and wholly replacing them were the instincts and focus of a teacher; a man so devoted to his art that his every moment was spent studying form and technique of the...
