Thankfully, it seemed he didn't need to take the medicine all that often, so the financial burden on his family was alleviated somewhat. However, it meant he could not do too strenuous of work his father had left him a crossbow, to use as part of learning to hunt for food in these uncertain times, which Darian would shoot. After all, Onyx Point was one of the most dangerous areas for humans to live hunting made the most sense out of the options to obtain food. And with the small game he was able to nab, it seemed that he'd be able to bring home enough food for the two of them. However, the constant warring of the human factions often caused shortages of supplies and work due to destruction of fields and factories. One such factory was a munitions plant which supplied quality weapons to any group willing to pay the price sadly, Darian was an employee - having taken the job to pay a protection racket they were strong-armed into - there and was forced to flee after a rebel party stormed the facility and burned it to the ground. He made it out alive, but now had nowhere to make money to help feed himself and his mother. And from there it just got worse he returned home to find that his mother was missing, the house strewn and torn apart with the signs of an intense struggle. With nowhere left to go, Darian packed what supplies he could and left on a quest to locate his mother. It was during his journey to try and find her that Darian quickly became a silent killer soon, he started to make a name for himself and was quickly located and brought in for an 'interview' with Talon Company, a merciless band of hitmen that carried out high-priority assassinations of important targets. With the Crossbolt Gun - which Darian would later modify - and a variety of arrows to use, he quickly went to work, trading the kills he got for pay and information regarding possible whereabouts of his beloved mother. GearWeapons Armor Talon Company Armor Primary Weapon Modified Crossbolt Gun - Strapped across his back Secondary Weapon HAMR heavy pistol - Strapped to a hip holster Melee Weapon Steel Dagger - His most unusual piece its pommel has an inset of pure sapphire, given to him by his own mother. Rarely used due to his long-range preference of attack, it serves as a good-luck charm for him. Miscellaneous Equipment 3 syringe slots for needles with heart medicine, an adequate sized quiver to hold his bolts, a pouch for smoke bombs, a handkerchief to use to provide moderate air filtration, pockets to hold small quantities of cured meat and fruit, small coin bag. Bolts for Crossbolt Gun - Note He only has Standard and Balanced Bolts at all times. Other Bolt variants exist at separate points in time - Standard Iron Bolt - A very basic concept Solid steel body with simple stabilizers and pointed head Abundant - Balanced Carbon-Steel Bolt - Same shape as Standard Bolt, but with added stabilizers and lightweight body for added range Common, but expensive - Fire Rune Shrapnel Bolt Rare - Difficult to craft and harder to come by, this hollowed Bolt functions via impact which fractures a Fire Rune and upon release of arcane Fire energy, creates a large explosion with pieces of the heated metal bolt as penetrating projectiles in all directions - Lightning Rune Trap Bolt Semi-rare - A more defensive type of Bolt, uses a Proximity-enhanced Lightning Rune to discharge a powerful electric current, capable of stunning multiple opponents - Earth Rune Petrifying Bolt Scarce - Almost impossible to find and extremely difficult to craft, Darian is lucky to find even one of these. Upon penetration, a needle emerges from the head of the bolt, injecting a liquid solution containing pulverized Earth Rune dust and upon it detecting the inherent arcana present in all creatures, causes instant solidification of the body.
