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. ]

I guess I'm used to capitalism. Everyone wants something in return.

No. I'm all right for now, but thank you.

( huh. )

Interesting.
Is there a reason that isn't an option for prospective protection and/or monster hunting?

( well that's an entirely satisfactory answer. 10/10, nothing to add. )

If you need help with gathering resources, I'd be willing.

( less, admittedly, out of a sense of civil-mindedness than out of curiosity. but whatever gets the job done, no? )

What's your world like? No capitalism? [ wait, now he's curious.

he's kind of been shit about learning where all the others are from but he's curious. after all, he's just read about other worlds and never met anyone from them. ]

[ sounds kind of lame, he thinks, that there's no ideal world where things aren't shit. then again, he didn't expect that much.

eddie's not an optimist. ]
Or worse?
