Prompt #1 - Who am I?
That's not an odd question to ask. Especially since I don't know you. (I can't see you either which makes me curious.) I'm Allen Walker, your run of the mill exorcist. I'm not sure what exorcists are to you, but to me we're the black coated soldiers of the Black Order. Its our job to defeat Akuma and make sure the Earl's plans are thwarted. I've offically been an exorcist for...wow almost a year. Its amazing how time flies isn't it? You don't realise its going by until you glance at something that keeps time.
I met a woman who made time reverse, its a long story I'm sure you don't wish to hear. But basically lots of odd things happen that we have to check on, searching for what we call innocence. Its what our weapons are made of and what can save the souls of the Akuma. ...Akuma are weapons but very tragic ones. They consist of three things; a machine, a tragedy, and one soul. The machine body is what houses the spirit and keeps it chained to the Earl's will.
The soul is called down because of one event. The Earl approaches those lost in grief and encourages them that he can revive their loved one. As I said before, its a lie. the newly chained soul is ordered to kill their loved one and wear their skin as a disguise. ...I'll not say how I know what that feels like. But these weapons can kill you with one shot, even exorcists fall quickly if unwary. Their bullets are laced with a blood virus that breaks down the body and turns you to dust.
I imagine it's quite painful despite being as quick as a minute. You blink and whoever is shot is already dead. Only parasite users (and Kanda for some reason) can recover from it. For us its because the innocence's power is within our blood...for Kanda? ....I honestly have no idea, he heals far too fast for it to be natural to me. Who is he? A comrade; a headstrong, rude, and insensitive arse of one. But he's alright, of anyone I know I think....as much as I hate to admit it we're somewhat alike.
We've fought before and defended each other, but haven't all comrades done that? I know I've smacked Rabi before and yelled at others I know. I will agree with the earlier person mentioned that I once was far too soft hearted and weak. I don't think nessecarily think that's a bad thing, but in our situation if I plan to be such I better stand by it. Which is why I refuse to stop walking, until the day I die. If someone wants to say that trying to protect everything and loving everyone that lives is a bad idea?
They can meet my fist or a boot in the teeth. I'm going ahead. If they fall behind that's fine, I can protect them better if I'm marching in front. I have promises to keep. So who am I? I'm a weapon. I'm an exorcist. That's all.
