video | un: yuheng

[ the video begins with a steady, clear shot of a man dressed in flowing white robes, buttoned up to his throat, half his hair done up in a high ponytail secured by a guan. he looks almost severe, and his tone when he starts talking is cool.

On his arm is a silver claw that laces up, and as the video continues, he clenches his fist and wriggles his fingers one by one. ]


This is an experimental piece of armor. It was originally designed to protect common people from demons. [ he glances down at the armor, a complicated look in his eyes for a split second before it disappears behind his usual cool neutrality. ] The demons here have proven deadly, and some people do not have spiritual powers that offer protection, so I have developed this.

[ perhaps one day, he can return to his original, grand idea of creating guardians for people, but it's impossible now, with the way items degrade. that's a future problem.

he finally looks back at the camera, still serious and reserved. ]


I am looking for individuals who are capable of fighting but do not possess spiritual power. It needs testing by someone else, and it is easy to find a demon or some beast in the Hinterlands. I'll be present for any fighting to observe the armor's behavior and provide assistance in any fight, should it be necessary. You will be compensated for your troubles.

[ he nods at the camera in dismissal and looks like he is going to turn it off before he recalls something and looks at the camera once again. ]

The armor is still experimental. While I have blueprints for an entire suit, I do not have the resources to create an entire suit of armor or more than a few of these. [ he holds his hand up, showing off the armor. ] Information would be appreciated on where to find more metal, leather, or scrap materials. And should anyone be interested in the armor after further testing, I will make note of it.

Good day.

[ with that, he turns off the camera, disappearing from view. ]

Both, unheard of.
The mechanism of your device?

Then they would rely on yours.

How are guardians different from people?

Any time. Today, if you would like. I don't have any immediate plans.

All right. Come by my clinic before you go, and I'll make sure you have what you need.

So they're like machines?

( this is the closest comparison he can think of. actually, the first thought he has is of themis, who both is and is not alive. it's uncomfortable, so he sets it aside in favour of pondering the rest of the answer. )

...without a core. that sure is interesting.

Unruled. Autonomous.
Have you attempted similar methods on transient objects?

You're putting in work to make them. Shouldn't you be compensated somehow?

Depending on who you are looking for.

I am just a simple Centurion with no terms of magic of any sort.

Worth pursuing, certainly.
In lieu of souls.

The merit is entirely yours.
Allow me to assist, should the need arise.
