I imagine this is a little bigger than this village. This is the name we are deciding to take going forward, a way to present ourselves to be recognized.Information about a pale inhuman figure that calls themselves Death that goes around killing yoma and asking odd questions spreading out of the village with any kind of speed beggars belief.
"Not that"
"here"- [] He'd be blunt and serious. Make it clear what he's hear for and not give any pretense.
Either would be acceptable.[] Test this warrior. See how she, and possibly other Claymores, do battle.
- [] He would go find a Yoma and lead it to her. See how she fares.
[] Greet this warrior. There was no need for his first contact with a Claymore to be antagonistic. Perhaps they could form a type of rapport...as strained as it may be.
- [] He'd be as quiet and stoic as possible. Not say much. Only enough to let her know he isn't an enemy.
As he reaches the end of the buildings, Death figures he should at least lend some credence to his claims of being a Horseman. So, he waves one of his hands toward the trees and stops just outside of the village. A few moments later, Despair comes loping out of the forest with its baleful flames following every step.
Death pays the shocked gasps of the mortals no mind. He simply swings into the saddle on Despair's back. Dusk crows as it flies back to Death, heading deeper into the forest and toward the Horsman's next objective. Rearing Despair up, Death turns his steed around and kicks at its sides. With his cloak billowing in the wind behind him, the 4th Horseman gallops off to his next objective.
Horseman.
And just because the Organization is our target, the Claymore's aren't. And the Claymore's don't know yet that Organization is their enemy as well.The Organization was one of his targets. It was only a matter of time until he came into conflict with them. Before that happened, he wanted to get an idea of exactly what the strength of his would-be opponents was. That way, when the time finally came to tear the Organization to pieces, he'd be prepared for his battles with the Claymores.
I wonder if only Death can see Dusk.No matter where the warrior went, no matter how far she traveled, Dusk would always point him toward her location. Though the bird's cawing did annoy the Horseman it didn't seem to catch the Claymore's attention at all. Which was good. It meant that Death didn't have to worry about her trying to investigate the crow's calling. He had enough trouble attempting to hide with Despair.
Or there are Yoma waiting in ambush.He followed after her for another day before something interesting occurred. The Claymore was making her way across a river when she suddenly stopped walking. Death paused just inside a copse of trees to her north. He narrowed his eyes at the Claymore. Had she discovered him? How? He was downwind of her, so he doubted she could've smelled him. And she hadn't noticed him this entire time. Perhaps she finally decided to take notice of Dusk's crowing?
No worries, short updates fit this story, or at least this part of it.Sorry these updates are so short, but take so long. Work makes it so I can't really take time to just sit down and write.
After they learned truth about the organization, nearly all of the Claymores either turned against it or deserted.I really don't care about making good impressions on Claymores honestly. We're already going to be destroying the organization and I severely doubt all the claymores are just gonna stand to the side for that.
Yeah, but I don't exactly see Death as the type to go out of his way to prove their wrong doing and reveal it before attacking them. I know we're the ones controlling here but I'm still trying to pick like the character because I like the character and for all that he does care about his siblings he doesn't really care about that much else.After they learned truth about the organization, nearly all of the Claymores either turned against it or deserted.
True, but from what I understand Death is not an indiscriminate killer, and while destroying the Organization is in the list, the Claymores are not. This already should make him think, since it is quite weird that you're asked to destroy an organization that makes monster killing warriors, but killing the warriors themselves is not required. And Death does know that the Organization is the one that created the Awakened Beings.Yeah, but I don't exactly see Death as the type to go out of his way to prove their wrong doing and reveal it before attacking them.

Edit: don't get me wrong he does kind things for others at times, but as far as I recall he's never went all that far out of his way.

And Organization is not our primary target, we have more important things to do first, and Death understands that having to cut his way through the Claymores to end the organization would make his mission more problematic. Fights against (most of) them would be unnecessary and not help his overall goal. I wouldn't expect him to take the pragmatic approach and while he might not go over his way to specifically look for prove of the true motives of the Organization, he would reveal such thing if he had it just to make the Claymores step out of his way. Of course, if he were run into people who'd share the same goal, he would be willing to cooperate with them to achieve his goal more efficiently. And if we happen to be known by the Claymores as a Yoma hunter who can help in a pinch, the better. And like I said, we have more pressing issues to handle before we deal with the Organization. Lot of things are going to depend on where exactly we are on the timeline and who we run into.
And honestly, I don't want to kill the Claymores, majority of them don't deserve getting slaughtered.
Also, @LinkOnScepter , the picture in the Explanations-threadmark is borked.
