Cobalt Tinct a mysterious young man, who never had much in the way of friends...guess it would be hard to find new ones if you were forced to kill your old ones, never had family either at least not one he remembered anyway; they had all died when he was very young and he was taken in by a family friend or at least that was what the guy had said anyway. Cobalt was a fairly short person who, never let anyone know but he was wolf faunas to be exact and because of that his eye would turn a shiny golden color at night and he had superb night vision and wolf ears on his head which he kept hidden with a hood and he got very good at hiding them if he had to take his hooded armored trench coat off, and he had long cobalt colored hair and after high school was over ended up getting a robotic eye.
From the time he was taken in till he graduated school he was trained as an assassin, early on in school he had started up an assassination/mercenary business, he worked with the 3 others he had made a team with at school they all thought it was great. Life was great Cobalt finished out school and had a great business and had even made himself famous, Cobalt was known in the underworld as Golden Eye Drac, he never worked in the daytime or at least that is when anyone would see him around, (during the day Cobalt's eye was purple). not to mention he kept his job a secret from everyone, now.
Cobalt didn't like thinking of the past but it always happened when he was bored and waiting for class to start for university, his team some time before graduating high school his team took a job and that was to take out a family, Cobalt never was comfortable with killing women and children so he had always turned them down but his team took the job behind his back when he had found out he raced to the job's location he was only able to save one person, a girl who looked to be about his age he never asked her name after he saved her and killed his team just took her to a place dropped with enough money for her to live and change her name and what not, before leaving he said "Intinction" she looked puzzled "If you ever want to find me use that word."
A girl had just walked in the classroom and took the seat next to him. She had long fuchsia hair, deep cobalt colored eyes and was fairly pretty by anyone's standards and a little taller than Cobalt. He was puzzled that someone would sit by him let alone a girl the class was empty save for him, so he looked at questioningly to which she replied "I'm new in town and you seem to know your way around." he asked "How do you suppose that I've been here a while?" "I saw you earlier today and you didn't seem lost to me, you went to the coffee shop." he thought to himself well that explains why I felt someone's eyes on me. They talked a while more and then made plans for him to take her around the town to show her the sights and places of interest.
They met mid afternoon after she had gone home changed he wasn't sure as to why she need to change they were just gonna be wandering around town it wasn't a date or some such thing, the place they met was the coffee shop she had seen him at earlier, he then proceeded to show her the mall and the best place to buy food and groceries, it was a nice little mom and pop store he was well known there by the people running the place and of course they harassed him bout bringing a girl there because in all the time they had known him he had never brought anyone there let alone a girl, he explained of course that she was just an acquaintance of his and was new in town all he got was "Ya ya likely story."
Time moved on and they were walking down the street when four guys came up and decided that they wanted to make trouble. Now Cobalt really hated fighting guy like this cause they were amateurs he just fights cause. In any case he wasn't really sure what he was wanting to do about these guys cause if he had been alone he just would have used his semblance to just leave, and he could've killed these guys in less than 30 seconds, he had his knives with him seeing as they were easy to hide. But before he had a chance to think on it for more than a few seconds she burst forward and using her hands and feet in a flurry of motion they were down in the same time he would have killed them in.
Cobalt just stared at her in amazement...just wide eyed amazement she then kinda snapped to her senses and realized what she did as if on instinct and looked at him "Oh uh...um." he gave his head a shake "That was amazing, unexpected but amazing none the less." she looked at him for a second "Really?"she asked. "Ya I didn't really have you pegged as some one who could fight that well I think I need to be wary of you." she stared at him for a bit again and said "It is often the prettiest flowers that are the most dangerous. We'll have to spar some time." he thought a moment before replying. "Perhaps we will."
He was pretty sure she could beat him if he fought with his hands, he was a pretty good fighter, but he was practically invincible with his knives or sword he hated guns, though his sword was a sniper rifle, his knives were pistols too, they were too loud and he loved the quiet. He thought a moment and wondered if she used any weapons he didn't think so because of how good she was with her hands and feet.
So he then proceeded to walk her home, they said goodbye for now and she said at the last moment "My name is Amaranth" and just in time too cause right when her door closed an alarm went off on his watch in a half hour it would be dark soon and his eye would change plus he had a job to get to tonight some bodyguard detail thing he always hated guarding people they were usually boring jobs, but the job paid. The night ended without him having to do much but stay close the client some rich snob. He was on his way home when he got that feeling of some one was watching him again from the left sprang the attack.
He had sensed someone there and dodged it was easy then there was a second who ever they were these guys were just amateurs but well coordinated at least the 2 that were attacking were the third was still hiding and watching. Why? He didn't know but didn't really care, at the moment he waited dodging the attacks till the perfect time and in two easy moves he killed the two assailants in an instant. Now on to the third one that was out there... well this was a pain, the third one left, again why(and apparently really fast)... well whatever he decided to go to one of his other safe houses that he kept all over the city for whatever reason that he decided he'd want to use them for and he had built a good life around his daytime personality he didn't want people figuring out what he did for a living cause his persona as Golden Eye Drac has had some interesting employers over the years. Still the questions rolling in his head was. Why? & Who?
In the morning before heading out to classes he got into contact with his information network and got them looking into who was trying to kill him he got to his first class and people were already talking about how two people were found dead last night. He spotted Amaranth and went and sat down beside her she asked "So the guys that were killed last night were found not far from where you live did you hear anything last night?" "No I was asleep not long after getting home last night." "Pity." "Why is that?" "Apparently those guys went to our school." he stiffened caught off guard with that the guys didn't seem that young but after a thought he did remember that this was a university so people of all ages studied here. "What were you so surprised about?" lying he said "Oh nothing just had a mini panic attack thinking I'd left my paper on my table but it's right here." pulling it out, it was due today. He was really thinking about what his information network was finding for him.
After classes let out for the day he was walking and talking with Amaranth when he got a message on his tablet it was from his network making sure she wouldn't see it he looked at and it was one word long...Intinction..."Well...Shit" She asked "What's going on?" avoiding any thing specific he said "Oh seems as though a person from my past is looking for me, someone I was kinda hoping I wouldn't see for a few years more, things didn't really go well the last time I saw this person." she said with a positive sounding voice "Well you should see this 'person' and try to talk with them maybe you can work it out. How long has it been?" without thinking he said "Oh about 5 years." she was shocked "Was it really that bad?" "You have no idea, it was pretty bad for both of us some of the worst memories in my life happened around that last meeting, probably for her too." He sent a message back wanting a location of the one who had made the way for that word to find him.
Weeks went by and the information network couldn't find a location or anything else on it he was wondering what was going on the word had been used that bloody word but nothing else so it must mean that girl knows some what of his life at least his night life but not his day life. "HEY! Are you paying attention?" "Oh what sorry I was lost in thought." " Do you go out at night?" "No not really, why do you ask?" "I went to your apartment last night but no one answered." "Oh." "I wanted to see if you would have liked to go with me and some of my friends to the movies." "I'm sorry to have missed that." "It's not the first time I've tried to get a hold of you at night." last night he had been out on a job protecting a Dust shipment he was also glad that his coat was really well armored thanks to the dust he infused into it to make it practically invulnerable for most regular weapons people carried, no one has tried to blow him up yet even then though he was sore cause even though it stops bullets it still hurt really bad when getting shot, another reason to hate guns.
The next day Amaranth came up to Cobalt and said "I need to see you after class today." "Okay. Where do you wanna meet?" "The coffee shop." she didn't say anything else and left. He thought 'well that was weird but whatever.' The whole day went by pretty fast he was actually pretty excited to see her so he rushed off after classes were over to the shop he had all his work stuff in his bag he was headed to work after he saw her today. He walked into the coffee shop...it was empty this place was never empty but there she was sitting at a table he realized it was the first table they sat at together he moved to her cautiously sat down and asked "wha-" "Intinction" "Well...Shit...Do you work for her?" "I AM HER" "oh."
He looked at her "Did you know who I was when you sat down beside me when we first met?" "No. I only figured it out a few days ago." "You were the one watching from the shadows all the times I got attacked on the way home you're really fast, but how did you figure it out?" "Watching your moves and comparing them from when we spared together, sure you used different weapons but the moves are pretty similar a little more showy. So you either were him or he was training you." "I'll have to keep that in mind. So what happens now? You used the word and I told you when you used it you decided on a course of action that you wanted to take." "I want to fight you seriously, if no one dies I want you to hire me to work with you as a partner." "Uuuuhhh...Huh?"
"You didn't hear wrong." "So you want me to fight you with intent to kill and if neither of us die you want me to make you a mercenary. This has to be one of the most screwed up job applications I've ever had. So how much do you know about my business and how I carry out contracts?" he asked. "I know that your company aside when your team died has always had a perfect record, that was part of how I found you, I looked at mercenary team roster numbers from the time they were created to now and your's was the only one that made sense to me losing all the other members and a new one formed with only one member." "Guess I should have tried to find new team mates but there is nothing about me and my day life that crosses over." "That is true information wise but every time I had you attacked I always checked your apartment and you were never home, plus when you'd go by the coffee shop the next morning it was from a direction that your apartment isn't in." "So that and my fighting moves helped you figure me out. Damn." "Pretty much." "I guess you need to tell me where and when you want to have this fight, but I can't do it tonight I have a contract."
The day of the fight came and Cobalt made it to the place Amaranth had picked, he looked around and said to himself "Wow this is a good place, no one will be bothering us here" he sensed something from behind so he acted on instinct hr jumped and flipped back and planted a boot in the back of the person who came flying in out of no where. He watched to see the person picking themselves up from the ground and saw it was Amaranth she said while turning around "I thought to ambush you so I could end it earl-" she cut off looking at him but not his eyes at the top of his head he felt the the top of his head. She had managed to pull his hood down in that move she made so she saw his ears "Well... There goes my second last secret." "So you are a faunas!" "Was there any doubt, I couldn't be him unless I were one could I, seeing as everyone knows Golden eye Drac is a faunas. Shall we continue my little flower?" The fight ended in a draw after a long fight they helped each other to the hospital and after a few days they were back at school like nothing had ever happened.
