Spawn: White Lotus
Chapter 1: Mediator
There cannot be a heaven without a hell. In the grand scheme of things, both must be at balance. That is my duty. Though I'm an Angel, I can kill my own kind the same way a Hellspawn can kill a demon that tries to cross a line that should not be crossed. That means I have no qualms about working with devils if it means that we can achieve balance.
I am Byakuren. In life, I was a warrior that defended, and gave my life to my village during the Meiji Restoration. In death and rebirth, I am still a warrior. As it has been over a hundred years since my death, I'm still getting used to this heaven sent armor. Like a Hellspawn, I didn't pick this armor. I just wear it. I didn't choose to wear an armored thong
I wear armor from my time as an Onna-Musha. My arms are covered in armor called 'sode', and 'kote' made of silk, white lacquered steel with gold-silk lacing, and chainmail. My chest armor is a one piece female chest in a 'nanban-gusoku' style with an exposed belly, and a 'nodowa' or gorget. I wear greaves called 'suneate' and sabatons called 'kogake'.
My last piece is a steel mask covering the bottom half of my face, and shaped like the bow of a ship. My eyes are white. My hair is jet black in a spiky boyish cut. I'm a big, and buxom woman of a slightly above average height. Angela calls me a traitor, and I've bested Tiffany a few times in sparring. My two o-katana and two katana are always with me
"Go away," said a low voice
"I'm afraid I can't," I replied
"I won't repeat myself," he snarled
"Neither will I, Al," I replied
"Who are you?" he asked me
"Heaven sent," I said with a shrug
"No shit Sherlock, I meant what the fuck do you want?" he asked, I think I'm getting on his nerves. That's alright. Even in a Hellspawn, I can find some admiration in him, and excuse his foul mouth. I gently glided down so he can turn, and get a look at me, "are you another Hellspawn Hunter?" he asked, I shook my head, "then what the hell are you?"
"Byakuren is my name, I'm an angel called a 'Mediator', I draw a line in the sand, anyone, be it from Heaven or Hell, crosses the line, then I can use brute force, so look at it this way Hell takes over, there will be chaos, Heaven takes over, there will be chaos, it's my job to prevent them both from having their way" I explained to the Hellspawn, he nodded
"I'm guessing no one likes you?"
"Yep," I replied, folding my wings
"I guess you know the feeling," said Al
"You do good deeds, Al," I smiled
"And I'm supposed to work with you,"
"I don't need you," Al snapped at me
He soon calmed down, "I work alone,"
"So did Angela, look how far that got her," I replied, I'm being very patient with this Hellspawn, "well, he said you would be difficult, but I'm up to the challenge, what you do for others may soon put you in his favor, I can see what he sees in you, the fact you're still trying to do good though you're in Malebolgia's service is what makes you dangerous, Al"
"You done giving me a lecture?" he asked, he seems a little annoyed, "now answer this...," I tilted my head curiously, "If I'm so dangerous, how do I know you're not going use one of those swords to kill me?" he questioned. One of the cool things about being a 'Mediator' is that I can change my equipment to better fit in with the humans that I protect.
"Like I said, I see what he sees in you," I repeated, I made a snap of my fingers to change my appearance. I wear a fitted black latex tank top with small vertical ridges, tight-fitted black latex pants with few tiny creases and a belt with matching steel-toe boots, and a matching jacket with hidden blades in the sleeves. I don't wear a mask in this form
I am actually not fully Japanese. I am half-Japanese. My father was the French Navy officer Eugène Collache, "I'll do it, but I don't like it," he grunted, I smiled lightly seeing him making progress on the first day. I admit it. I borrowed a bit of my 'human look' from Jessica Priest. Now If I know this Hellspawn, he'll find his way to Heaven. Not yet, but soon
"That's a good start," I commented
"Humph," Spawn grunted to me,
"Just answer this," he asked of me
"What do you mean by crossing a line?"
"It's about those I protect," I stated
"Here's an example, let's say Angela is putting too many innocent people in danger if she's decides to try and hunt you down, I can intervene on your behalf, it's mostly my job to make sure the angels don't do anything stupid, and that the demons don't attack innocent people," I explained, Al nodded. I grinned a small grin on my light pink lips to him.
In this form, I cannot fly, but I make up for that fact by being able to run fast and leap long distances. I also get by with martial arts. I lightly touched his shoulder, and gave it a light pat, "I'm here for you, Al Simmons," I said, and ran forward to leap up to the top of a building by the alley we were talking in. This is going to be an interesting partnership.
