[spoiler]Boy has it been a long time since I last posted here. I've already made a character and armed myself[/spoiler]
Eric Hallwinter crouched atop the building's pinnacle, the wind blowing his stark black hair out of his eyes. Once, he would have been immobilized with fear at such a height, but the confidence bestowed by his cybernetic enhancements rejuvenated him. The fall would be precarious, as it always was, and he prepared himself mentally for the short span of time in which every second could bring death... Not that being on the ground would be that much safer. The thugs he was stalking weren't your average KAP-8 junkies; they were thieves with no honor, and would do anything to satisfy their cravings, and they were already accredited with seven murders and a kidnapping.
Eric wondered as he fell why he insisted on jumping from heights, as his body was whipped around by the ferocious winds, and the answer came to him sooner than he had expected. The fall made him stare death in the eye, and inspired him to think quickly, and to react to any situation which might arise; after all, chaos was the only constant.
The thugs in question were located by a diner, loitering around the back while undoubtably waiting for victims to arise. Eric's eyes weren't augmented as the rest of his body was, but he had prided himself on his good vision, even during night-strikes like this, as he detected seven clearly armed hostiles, and one who appeared to be injecting himself with KAP-8; not something Eric wanted to deal with, but it was far too late for that...
He landed on top of the closest thug, the plasteel platings on his legs bearing the brunt of the impact as the man's skeleton collapsed. Without wasting time, he threw the broken body at one of the man's comrades, knocking the gun out of their hands as he punched another in the throat. He heard a whistle as a shot whizzed over his head, and just barely moved a thug in time to intercept a bullet heading towards his chest. The man whose gun he had knocked away threw a savage punch at him, but Eric crushed the bones in his hand with nonchalant ease, and then proceeded to break several ribs with a single punch.
By now, the remaining three men had organized themselves, while the KAP-8 user appeared to be completely oblivious to his peril; most people were when they were that high. As one drew a sawed-off shotgun, Eric realized that he was in a lot more danger than he had expected. Sprinting at a speed that would have made an Olympian jealous, he rushed towards the wielder of the gun, deftly intercepting a blast with his plasteel-layered cybernetic arms. He quickly disarmed the man, using his gun to kill him and his other two comrades, but as he turned around to face off against the KAP thug his neural implants relayed a message to him.
[quote][b]WARNING: ENFORCEMENT INBOUND[/b][/quote]
Now he was faced with a difficult choice; kill an oblivious man and run, or flee quickly and risk the man being aware of his identity, for he could only be feigning unconsciousness. With a sigh, Eric put down the gun and ran; a vigilante though he was, he despised murder unless it was unavoidable. Suddenly, he realized that someone had been watching him during the fight, and he looks up at a nearby rooftop to see his observer.
(Open. Sorta a second intro post).

-
[i]Light walks by the alleyway, hearing the commotion, but veers away after catching your gaze.[/i]
-
Eric runs towards him, not knowing Light's intention, and quickly devises a means to scale the wall. He jumps onto a nearby wall, his hands somehow keeping him attached to the steel she'll of the building, and leaps onto the rooftop where he saw Light, and he draws his shotgun. "Who are you? Enforcement? Another junkie?"
-
[i]He quickly draws his Galika, faster than you'd expect, and has it trained on you.[/i] Just heard a commotion, looking for some resources. Those guys have bullets on 'em back there?
-
He nods his head in the direction of the scene, Enforcement sirens wailing in the distance. "Those junkies had a few, but they've been dealt with. I don't think I need to explain Enforcement to you."
-
[i]He doesn't seem so sure, but quickly runs over and grabs what he can. He comes back, loading a clip with 9mm's, nodding to you.[/i] Thank you, and the best of luck. I'll be leaving too, Enforcement doesn't sound good...
-
He chuckles "Let's just say I wouldn't want them over for dinner. Best of luck amigo." He leaps over the edge of the building, and takes off into the shadows.
-
-He sees a Man in a suit and scarf with a sniper-
-
He still holds the sawed-off shotgun, but at this range it would be more than useless, so he silently hopes that the man isn't hostile. He yells out to the figure "Can I help you with something?"
-
"Well no but it looks like you do" -You can't see his face-
-
He looks over his shoulder warily, hearing the ever approaching sirens. "I just need a clean getaway. If you can help me with that, I'd be grateful." He hardly seems like the trained fighter that he did seconds ago; rather, he sounds like a grateful teenager.

Edited by BlindSwift: 9/22/2015 12:11:02 AM"In the dumpster there now" -He nods to a bearby dumpster- "i'll take care of it from there"
-
He shakes his head "Enforcements has thermal scans, I wouldn't last a minute. I don't want someone taking heat for me unnecessarily, but I'll run if you're willing to fight."
-
"I know that i'm gonna do an old switcheroo"
-
He glances over at the dumpster again "You could at least tell me the plan."
-
"Look like a hobo ok" -He climbs down to where you were and you see a younger looking guy and he starts to run the direction you were running while firing off shots in the air-
-
Eric mutters to himself when you're out of earshot. "Look like a hobo... Seems like you've got that part down perfectly." As much as he hated to admit it, he would feel bad leaving the guy, but he also didn't want to risk being caught should Enforcement take this stranger out. In seconds, he made his choice, and he jumps off of the rooftop with his shotgun to assist you.
-
"Your an idiot" -You see he jumps into a sewer grate-
-
He hops in besides you "That's up for debate. You lead."
-
"Baka" -You see him take sharp turns into another sewer grate to which he climbs up it-
-
He sighs, his prosthetic legs used to a much faster pace "On second thought, maybe I should lead. You can just tell me where to go."
-
"Huh" -He grabs you and carries you bridal style and starts running-
-
He twists his arm at an unnatural angle and smashes a pressure point in your shoulder, breaking your grip and putting you on your knees. "Don't ever do that again. You ready to get moving again?"
-
"Fine then how bout this" -He kicks out your knee and starts to run-
-
He drops to his other knee and extends his arm in your path, taking out your legs. "I don't want to fight, so let's actually get moving." He leaps clear over your body and starts running in the direction you implied.
-
"Then don't hit me again" -He runs to a sheet and pulls it off to reveal his car and drives into traffic to aboid them-
