Tiresais Aph – Prologue
/* The lounge is quiet now the music has stopped, chatter soaks up the silence – it's now the man sitting across from you speaks up. His soft voice clearly audible, but as distant as the galactic echoes from the far reaches the of Jove systems. */
“I've nie always been blind.
The majesty of Jita, New Caldari, Urlen and images of the surrounding systems burn youthful ignorance in my memory of a much simpler time.
A time when my sister, Dominia, and I would sit ideal on cruisers as family talked business and entertained guests from other cooperations. When the plight of the Minmatar were but a history lesson by an emotionless holocom and the Amarr were but a social figure of speech to denote a shady business deal; an “Amarrian Exchange” my father once called the backhanded practice of his competitors.
Life is much different now. My eyes are my Kessy (Kestrel), with bays of missiles waiting for an opportune moment. My sister... I haven't spoken to her in many years since our father passed away; I sense the depth of our mothers treachery still stings her so. Longer still it's been since the last blinding white flash of light graced my pupils extinguishing my sight forever.”
/* He leans back in his chair half expecting the sight of his white eyes to startle you. An uncanny smile out of the left corner of his mouth emerge after sensing your still calm demeanor. He obviously isn't used to your indifferent reaction, but how did he know? The smile fades as quickly as it came. */
“Many years I drifted in space, an outcast of the Caldari social elite. Alone cursing each Amarr rat my Kessy's missiles met. I would even ship contraband supplies on occasion just to keep my clone and ship insured. Then the dreams came.
Dreams of a universe in flames; Minmatar war banners cascading down along the edges of conquered Amarrian fleets. Dreams of a firm jawed Minmatar leader among men, who would one day lead his people to the City of the Wise.. I believe it was called. Jaded I am though to these forebodings but I acknowledge the implications behind them -- as should you.”
/* He reaches into pocket to pull out a fag, lights it and back into his pockets his hands disappear. Very fluid and precise his movements are. He lets out a long drawn out breath filled with smoke, deeply contemplating his next choice words.*/
“I am the one approaching you though, not for assistance (as it seems a higher power had the grace to give me 4 other senses to exact revenge with) but for an opportunity. My old name was Tiresais Aph, but you can call me simply, Aph.”
/* Aph... at least you have a name now. */
“My Kessy, my “sight” and Amarrian blood will be awaiting your response.”
/* Aph stands at the table just as the Minmatar band strikes up again, and off he is into the wall of sound, where music and gossip merge to illuminate the otherwise dusky lounge. */
OOC: Please excuse me if I didn't RP correctly or if I messed up on some of the lore aspects in the eve universe. I just started playing and bought an account 5 days ago though I have spent a pretty long time on the boards researching information. ^^
Also to be even more truthful, even though I've spent 8 years playing MMO's, this will be my first experience in a RP guild/corp as the above was the first application I've ever had which had nothing to do with my skills or experience.
