Summary: He was a soldier. A general to be exact. He was tired of people looking for him to give them advice, comfort, and protection. The only solution he thought at that time was fleeing. After all, surviving two world wars with wars going on amongst other countries was no easy task.

And so, he fled. He went to a place where his once precious people won't ever reach him. Italy.

He started a new persona, a persona where he is the exact opposite of his real one. His walls were hard to climb or even break into. But, it will all shatter when CheckerFace will visit him to be the one of the Greatest Seven.

His name? Previously Adriane Rosewood was now Skull de Mort, The Greatest Stuntman of all time.

Adriane (Skull)
I'm so tired... I need to run away from this place... But first, get the children to safety.

I ran to where the experimented children were staying. When I got there, I saw that they were still sleeping.

I went to one of the children sleeping. The child looked about 12. A child whose platinum hair was shaggy but presentable enough. Clothes which were worn out but it suited his stature quite nicely. His fairly long eyelashes was resting on his cheeks, a button nose sitting on the center of his face while his chapped pinkish red lips was slightly parted.

It would have been picture perfect until you have seen his body. Littered with scars and bruises. But, I knew he was strong. They were strong because of their determination to continue moving on even after going through that horror. I wouldn't want them to experience the hell I went through.

"Child, wake up. We need to flee from here." I said softly as the child was slowly blinking his eyes to get rid of the drowsiness in his eyes.

Once he was fully awake, you could see his vibrant ocean blue eyes shining through the night. The child' eyes slightly narrowed and he frowned.

"Why, *отец?" The child asked as he slowly stood up, about chest height of Skull.

"**Любимый, it's because that I need you guys to be safe in order for me to be relieved that you are safe. And I need you guys to move so that you won't be unnecessarily be in another war." I explained softly as his eyes slowly reverted to it's natural almond shape.

"Любимый, can you take care of them when I'm going to work? It's okay if you can't, but if you can, just carefully watch them in the shadows and just show up when they are in danger." I asked as I watched his face contort in different kinds of emotions until it ended with a slightly nostalgic face.

"Of course I can do it отец. But, what about you?" The child asked as he looked at me with worry in his eyes. I felt relieved and happy at the same time. Relieved that he can and he will do his assignment that I have given to him and happy because he cares about my wellbeing.

"Любимый, you know that I need to do something so that I can ensure that we can live comfortably and happy. I might not be able to come home as often but know that I love you guys with all my heart and your positions will never be replaced and forgotten." I said softly.

'It's okay if you don't remember me. I understand because I know you little ones need to move on and forget all the bad things that has happened throughout your life.' I thought solemnly as I watched this child walk towards me, arms stretching towards my body.

On instinct, I embraced him that we had forgotten where we are and what time it is.

"Remember Любимый, if you couldn't handle the situation yourself, just call my name and I'll be there." I whispered softly in his ear as we let go of each other. He nodded and went off to wake up the other children.

As I watched him silently, I felt proud of him as he was able to shoulder this responsibility that I have given him but I felt sorry too as I should've shouldered that responsibility by myself.

I slowly left my stare at his back as I went to pack all of the stuff these children as accumulated throughout the months they have spent time with me.

3rd Person
It was nighttime where darkness reigns. Adriane and the children took advantage of it and went to a European country where there is still violence but they do not involve the civilians in their messes. But, only some will still involve civilians so that the other party can follow their bidding. The country where it will all start, Italy.

Adriane can speak the language fluently but most of the children cannot. The only one who can speak Italian is the child with platinum hair and vibrant ocean blue eyes.

And now, it was time for a new persona. Adriane's personas were complicated and hard to decipher and throughout his years of living, there were many personas that were created out of the blue or were in dire need to do it. Some of them were simple on the surface but complicated to decipher or just plain complicated to decipher. But, all of them were created to fit his personality.

He needed a persona who is loud, slow-witted, ignorant, weak, and arrogant to cover his true personality.

And thus, Skull de Mort was born. But, if anyone were to confirm his existence, he must sneak in to add his file. But first, get a shelter for the children.

Skull
The children and I were walking aimlessly until we stumbled upon an abandoned orphanage. I looked at each and every one of the children and said "***дети, do you guys want to live in this place for the meantime? I need to find a job so that we can eat and pay the bills." I said softly to the children.

The children nodded their heads and we went in the abandoned orphanage. The inside was a wreck. Cobwebs on the ceiling, bugs crawling, dust bunnies were everywhere, and the floor has holes. But, it can be fixed immediately.

"дети, we need to assign the roles okay? Cleaning this place would be a cycle. Group yourselves into six." The children immediately grouped themselves into six. There were two groups of six.

"Okay. The first group will be on duty on Monday to Wednesday. The second group will be on Thursday to Saturday and then we will all be cleaning on Sunday. The leader of the cleaning cycle will be..." I scanned the sea of the children, looking for a child. She was at the end of the crowd.

"Juniper will be the leader okay? I know you can follow her instructions." I said softly but loud enough so that everyone can hear my voice.

Juniper was a beautiful girl. With a periwinkle long hair that faded into lavender. Her eyes were a vibrant emerald green eyes that looks like it glows and mesmerizes you. A cute nose sitting on the center of her heart face with her lips that was a dull pink. Her stature was petite, but I'm sure she will grow into a fine woman in the future.

"Next is the cooking cycle. Who wants to cook for everyone? It must be in a group of three and there should be two groups." The cooks immediately grouped and now there were two groups.

"Now, choose your leader and I will assign someone to look after you guys when you are cooking. Also, the first group will be cooking on Monday to Wednesday and the second group will be cooking on Thursday to Saturday. I will be cooking on Sunday." I said softly as I immediately saw the child I was looking for.

"Ash will be looking after you guys okay?" I said softly.

Ash was a handsome boy for his age. His ash white hair that was slightly long. Forest green eyes that was inherited from his mother while the hair from his father. His nose was slightly pointy but it fit his face and his dull red lips were chapped. His height was at my chest.

The cooks nodded and they started discussing quietly.

"Now, you guys know the buddy system right? You will be doing that when you are patrolling the orphanage at night. Take turns at napping and patrolling so that you can reach until dawn. Each nap will last for 5-6 minutes and then you can switch." I said softly as the children nodded while the others silently agreed.

"I have three walkie talkies on me right now. I'm gonna make a post where there will be a leader holding one of the walkie talkie while the two that will patrol has one on their person. I will assign a leader which will respond to all of your conversations." I said while looking for a leader.

"Donovan will be the leader okay?" I said while they were nodding.

Coincidentally, Donovan means dark warrior, which fits the role I had assigned. His hair was jet black which fades into mauve and the length was slightly on his nape. His eyes were heterochromia. His left eye was a light gray while the right eye was lilac. It suited him quite nicely with his cute nose and slightly cherry red lips.

"When I'm gone working, Eryx will be looking after you guys alright?" I said softly as the boy with platinum hair and ocean blue eyes was named. The children nodded as they believe that Eryx was suited for that task.

"Since it is dusk, we can start this tomorrow, which is Monday coincidentally. Pick out your rooms and clean it properly. I will inspect it afterwards okay?" I said as they went to pick out their rooms.

"****Лучик, *****Ки́са, ******Солнышко, and Любимый, come here please." I said softly as Donovan, Juniper, Ash, and Eryx were coming closer.

"Since you guys are the leaders, I need you to be vigilant and careful at all times. There could be mafia wars and invaders. If that happens, call my name." I said softly as they nodded their heads and went to pick out their rooms.

3rd Person
It was now nighttime and everyone was asleep except for Skull. He inspected everyone where the children are sleeping.

After several rounds of inspecting them, he went to the office of the Administrator. Inside was a little dusty but it was bearable. In a corner there was a bed and a bedside table with a lamp. The room was cozy but slightly barren since it was abandoned.

Skull walked up to the bed and laid there, silently thinking about what will happen next. He silently sighed and closed his eyes, half of his consciousness awake while the other was taking a nap.

Tomorrow will be a hectic day.

All of the russian terms I used were endearments.

*отец (otets)- father.
**Любимый (lyubimiy)- darling. There can be other spelling and pronunciation.
***дети (deti)- little ones. Used this for the children.
****Лучик (luchik)- sun ray or sunbeam.
*****Ки́са (kisa)- kitty.
******Солнышко (solnishko)- little sun or sunshine.

Facts:
-Eryx is the many great grandfather of Victor Nikiforov in Yuri on Ice.

-Coincidentally, Eryx' name is a king who rules over a city, which is Sicily. Eryx is the child of Aphrodite and Poseidon.
-Also, Eryx' name means boxer, which means that he was the undefeated champion of boxing until Heracles or more commonly known as Hercules, has beaten him.
-I was going to make another character for Eryx until I remembered that the platinum hair and vibrant ocean eyed boy wasn't named.
-For Eryx' appearance, it was supposed to be a sea blue hair that faded into a sea foam green while his eyes will be a heterochromia. His left eye will be deep ocean blue while the right one was a golden yellow. Basically, he was gonna be Percy except with a different appearance.
-I was going to name Donovan, Anastasius, which means reincarnated in Greek but refrained since he isn't reincarnated.
-If you haven't noticed it yet, I was basically gonna name the crowd of children plant names but that was weird since I don't want to be Iemitsu whom his colleagues were named after plants and spices.

-Originally, Donovan wasn't included in the group of leaders I had assigned.
