Better to be hated... [open]
Characters: Erik Lehnsherr and YOU
Setting: Anywhere in the tower you like.
Format: Action or Prose, I'm easy.
Summary: A wandering mutant trying to sort out what's happened.
Warnings: Who knows, really. Erik's had a rough week, and showing up here and finding out his entire world's been destroyed? Is gonna put him in a bad mood.
Erik had read the note. Earth had been destroyed, and he was the lone survivor. Well, one of the lone survivors. There were other people here, clearly, but not any of the faces he wanted to see. Mystique, Azazel, Riptide, Angel, Emma.
While he didn't believe what was written in any way shape or form, the fact that his brothers and sisters were no where to be seen was troublesome. Someone, somehow, had been able to transport him here without his knowledge, under cover of darkness. It would take a powerful mutant or entity to pull that off without him even realizing it was occurring.
Whatever this place was, Erik didn't intend on staying. He had been a lab rat once before--never again.
So he wandered the corridors, the hallways, looking for information.

Blue hair is totally normalHe could tell the look of a new person fairly easily. There is only some metal on him (mostly in the form of one pistol, loaded, and then one modified, bulletless one?), hidden away, but he doesn't intend to use it. Metal headphones are around his ears, quietly playing music, and a small mp3 player can be seen hanging around his neck. ]
Did you just arrive here?
[ He offers a small smile. ]
no subject
Yes. I assume you are not?
no subject
I've been here for a few weeks, myself.

no subject
[ If only because he has things to do. ]

no subject
... Mutation?
[ Please explain, Erik? ]
no subject
[He flicks his wrist, and the helmet he is holding in one hand raises into the air.]
no subject
That is certainly... interesting. He hasn't seen anyone do that before. He supposes, then, that this may count for something, in that case. Gift, curse--it was the same, really. ]
... Then I suppose a Persona would count as something like that, then.
no subject
[He's never heard the terminology before, but its obvious that not everyone refers to their mutations as such.]
no subject
A Persona is... a manifestation of a Persona's psyche; their 'other' self. The gods and demons and mythological creatures that people are represented by. A... mask, of sorts, tamed for protection and battle.
[ Ugh, too much talking. ]
... Not many people are able to summon them... naturally, anyway. They're rare.
no subject
So you could summon it now, if I asked?
no subject
Minato pulls his Evoker out of the holster hidden under his coat. It looks like a pistol, but it isn't one; it's modified, and holds no ammunition. He pauses, holding it in his hand. ]
... I could, and I don't mind, if you can promise you won't panic.
[ He's had that happen before, and it wasn't fun. ]
no subject
[Really--Erik's seen enough that things rarely phase him.]
wow I am sorry for the slowness of my tags aashdf;
... And he waits to see what Erik will think, perhaps because he is curious to see what an outside perspective on the matter would view it as. ]
no worries, I'm slow too obv!
...shooting yourself in the head isn't the way I'd like to use an ability.
[A smirk hits his face, though, eyebrows raising.]
But impressive, none the less.
no subject
... What a Persona is capable of is dependent on its wielder. Of course, the danger differs if it's unnatural... and they're generally more impressive in battle. Samael is more geared toward elemental magic and combat support, for example.
[ He was a tactical person, after all. Thanatos was his more dangerous Persona, but Samael was what he depended on for missions and supporting his team if something happened to Chidori. ]
no subject
[He's not sorry about asking questions--but at least he isn't like Charles, who turns these sorts of things into eager interrogations.]
no subject
... If you're lucky enough to be born with what's referred to as the "potential"... then yes--in which case, they're merely tiring. But if your Persona is artificial in any way, it's difficult to control without... certain aids.
[ Drugs. Suppressors. Persona inhibitors. Whatever one wanted to call them. Stop taking them and your Persona would kill you, in his case. Keep taking them and your lifespan is shorted more and more as your body slowly deteriorates. ]
no subject
How do people even gain an artificial Persona?
[It's a disturbing thought, to say the least. That humans could somehow gain possession of powers that they have no right to.]
no subject
[ He wasn't the biggest fan of it; none of his group were, considering they were the only ones left. ]
There were... a few who managed to make it out alive. The rest either died or turned into monsters.
[ It's a good thing he's had a lot of time, otherwise the bitterness might be seeping into his voice entirely. ]
no subject
[Erik's jawline twitches.]
--abhorrent. The corporation should be razed to the ground.
no subject
... It was a matter of resources we didn't have to fight them with at the time. Resources we still lack, and one of them has always been time.
[ The Tower wasn't any better. He couldn't help but feel the value placed on their lives was even LESS than back then, somehow. ]
no subject
[Erik gave him a firm nod. There is conviction there; if he could help, he would.]
Something I intend to do here, as well.
no subject
[ If nothing else, he believed in persistence. He didn't feel the need to bring up SEES being the bigger problem at the moment. ]
... There needs to be more people who will fight here. There is only so much we can do if we're alone or disorganized, after all. It won't be easy, since they can disable our abilities.
