//Sorry for not being around folks, some serious real-life issues have come up and I’ll be gone for a long while taking care of them… I’d say this is good-bye again, but perhaps this time I’ll just say until next time! Thank you all for the fun! -Wald/Merk Mun
:: Seems with time a beast like him forgets. Yuura felt somewhat bad for a creature like him. Forced to become what he was, and yet… all of that became a need to know more. More about the creature in front of him. For now, however, he’ll set it aside so Merkava could learn about him, like he wanted. Eyebrows raised as the creature knew of his distinct smell, and Yuura couldn’t help but laugh silently.
“Very well…. I’ll give you information on myself. My role is a necromancer, and I specialize in Death itself. I studied for years and years… and practice lead me to the point where I don’t fear death anymore.”
The void scoffed in recognition of the word, “No fear... and a foul taste...” that is all that came to mind when he thought of Necromancers and their pets, “Such a waste...” A smile returned to the creature’s face then...
“But rejoice... As you... and your pets... Unappetizing...” Merkava shrugged nonchalantly as his voice spoke those words... “Anything more..? Or is that all..? Yuura the Necromancer... Is that all you are..?” While the question the voice spoke may have seemed cryptic, it’s tone was deathly serious...
Something To Care For?
It was incredibly cute watching Merkava trying to give her a nick name. It was even cuter when he was thinking out loud. –He was trying his hardest and she could tell. But, that was until he mentioned that he was trying not to stare. She was reminded of her nudity, and thus, attempted to cover herself with one of the blankets near by.
“ Beautiful… Really? –Of course, you can call me that… ” Who wouldn’t want to be called that, in all honesty? He thought of her as beautiful, how cute.
The void smiled as gently as his scary face could muster, genuinely pleased that she liked the name he had come up with! Without thinking Merkava took a step forward again, renewing an embrace with Kana as his voice spoke, “Merk-chan happy... Happy to have friend... and nickname...” he pulled back and looked at her, his eyes full of genuine feeling, “Thank you... Beautiful...”
After a moment the void dropped the hug and looked towards the window, another thought caught his immediate attention, “One such as you... Needs better clothing...” he said as a single finger tugged gently at the blanket that now surrounded Kana, “Should I go... Obtain some for you..?”
“Biting” Cold
She smiled a bit as he rested his head on her knee. “We were raised and trained by our Mother to fight against the Empire. The war has been hard even though we single handedly took out some of the Empires key outposts.” She smiled remembering absentmindedly petting his head like a cat. “Because of our victories we are known as Red Demons. Funny really.”
The void let loose a low rumble, like something akin to purring as he was pet. Merkava still listened as he did though... His purring stopped as she said the words “Red Demons” he looked up at her with concern on his features.
“No...” the voice spoke in her head softly, as a large finger gently poked her side, “You couldn't be... a demon...” the void knew only one red demon... He was very mean and foul mouthed... And tasted far too coppery...”You are... Too kind... to be called that...” his muzzle nudged her leg as if to prove his point, while waiting for Seven to respond.
//If that picture didn’t get your attention, I don’t know what would! But seriously though, I just thought I’d throw this out here in case anyone wants to RP with the sometimes cute, sometimes killy void creature, Merkava.
If you’d like a normal thread and a starter from me, drop a like on this post.
However, if you’d like a plot or event related threads, go ahead and drop me an ask or an IM.
Also, no limits on anything! Need to keep busy, and my turn around is quite high depending on how much work I have, so come at me!
“Void… Never heard of your kind then.“ He could deal without the mystery, but one step at a time. And it was a big step indeed. “Earth? Interesting, interesting.“
They really seemed to enjoy collecting their oddities from across the galaxy, didn’t they? He could respect that… if he wasn’t part of their menagerie. They would pay for this somehow.
And maybe Merkava could make his revenge easier.
Ridley’s eyes flickered yellow, just like a cat’s. “Very far away from Earth. Another planet from among the stars that I doubt most of the inhabitants here have heard of. I normally travel with a group, but I’ve found myself cut off from them… And now I seek the ones responsible.“
There went his tail, lazily swishing against the concrete as he stared at the Void creature. As lax as he seemed in his movements, his eyes remained locked on Merkava.
“I don’t suppose you’ve ever heard of Space Dragons before, have you?
The void relaxed some as the dragon spoke, as he seemed to be doing the same... The mention of other planets seemed to be lost to him, though everything else seemed to strike a similar note... Separated from his kin... And the people that brought them here...
The beast tilted his head down in thought at Ridley’s question, “No...” the voice spoke, “I don’t recall... Dragons perhaps extinct... On earth...” he looked up at the creature in front of him, “But here... We are surely... the last... Of our kinds...” Here in the city that they were trapped... Merkava was contained here against his will, just as Ridley was... “The Men in White...” the voice croaked finally, “They are responsible...” the void gritted his teeth, “They are elusive... Clever and devious...” the beast opened his maw wide, drool escaping it as the now deathly serious voice spoke, “Worthy prey... To hunt... To devour...”
Something To Care For?
“ Yes, cute is very good! –Cute means you’re not scary! I’m cute, right? ” Kana grinned at the thought of a nickname, most people usually gave her one without consent. She was wondering what kind of name he would give her. “ Yes, you can give me a nick name, Merk-chan. –I’d love to hear what you’d like to call me.”
Honestly even though he put forward the idea of a nick name for his new friend, the void hadn’t give it much thought at the current moment... So Merkava sat upon his haunches and scratched underneath his chin with a long finger as his voice thought out loud... “Cat Lady..? No... Just Silly...” he shot down more than a few ideas, “Ka-chan..? No... Too simple ...” he looked back to his companion... He had forgotten she was still very naked...
He turned his head to the side blushing slightly, “Apologies... Not trying to gawk... at...” he paused, the answer came to him... He thought of the descriptor he thought of when he saw Kana for the first time, “Beautiful... is... What you are... Your body... Your kindness... Everything...” his eyes flicked back to her face, “May I... Call you that..? Beautiful..?”
“Biting” Cold
“Food would be nice.” Seven replied realizing she had not eaten much for days.“ She took a breath and began. "My world is known as Oriance. I hail from Rubrum. We have four nations at one point but the Militesi Empire declared war and wiped out Lorica.” She began. “Then the Empire began to move into my territory. I attend a school for military training known as Akademia. I am part of a elite unit known as Class 0. There are 14 of us in this class..” She paused to let him take this in.
Merkava listened intently as Seven spoke, but he decided to settle in a bit more as he felt this was going to be a long story... Gracefully he hopped up onto the bed and curled up next to the girl in the bed, resting his head on her knee.
He looked up at her as she paused, he nodded as his voice spoke, “Interesting... Please continue..?”
:: A god. Those very beings that reigned destruction and death in his homeworld. True, he had no trouble believing that gods exist. But to him, they were powerless; he had dismissed them as powerless beings a long time ago. He had to think deeply about his next words. They could very well cause a sinking ship in terms of acquaintanceship.
“Interesting indeed… the things people do to gain power. I can’t believe people want to become God… really.”
The void shook his head and shrugged, “After all this time... Even I... Have forgotten why...” the beast hung his head dejectedly, “Know only hunger... Hallow ravenous hunger...” Merkava seemed lost in his thoughts...
Soon after though the beast turned his head back towards the man, “Now you know me... Yuura...” Merkava took a few steps forward closing the distance, “Now... I would... Know of you...” the creature’s face was now only inches away from Yuura’s, “He who smells of death...”
Something To Care For?
His skin felt incredibly cold on her own, so it was obvious that she was going to leech off his warmth any time soon. Still, this was nice. It made her feel nice, to bring a bit of happiness into someone else’s life. It made her feel wanted.
“It’s alright, Merkava… I don’t like that whole name. I’m gonna shorten it to Merk-chan. I sounds way cuter and friendlier don’t you think?” Close friends give each other nick names, so she could give him one! Hopefully he liked it. She leaned over and patted him gently. He reminded her of a cute shark, with that head of his.
The creature sat down like a large dog, hair flapping like a tail as he enjoyed her pets while Kana spoke. Though his head tilted oddly to the side at the mention of his suggested nick name...
“Merk-chan..?” the voice questioned, “Such a name is... Cute..?” Of all things the void had ever been called, ‘cute’ was not among them... “Cute is... Good, yes..?” The creature scratched his neck, perhaps a little embarrassed, “If I get one... Should I... Call you one too?”
“Biting” Cold
“Mother?” Seven mumbled as she slowely opened her eyes upon feeling the nuzzling but then she remembered she was no longer in Oriance but in Hive City with a friendly beast named Merkava. “Oh guess we both slept for a long time.” She yawned. “Sorry for not waking up right away.”
The beast laid it’s head down on the bed next the now sitting up girl, satisfied that his guest was awake he looked up at her with his white eyes and spoke. “Indeed... Is dusk now...” a claw pointed to the dying light outside to illustrate, “Soon... I can go out..” Merkava paused a moment to consider a thought before continuing, “You have not eaten... I can... Food for you?”
The void withdrew it’s head from the bed and locked eyes with Seven, “But...” the voice continued, “Will you... tell me your story... before I go..?”
:: “A coward has no chance, eh? Well, lucky for me, I have many.” Death meant nothing to him; revival was his card, not anyone else’s. Crossing his arms, he didn’t allow any emotion to reveal on his face, aside from curiosity and his smirk. This creature– Merkava, was quite interesting… Maybe Shida would find an interest in him like he does now.
Better learn everything he can.
“Re-Births...” he echoed, eyebrows raised. “Just what were you trying to become, if these Re-Births still have a chance?”
The void was intrigued by this man as well, his words did make him react in the way he thought it would... He merely grinned and continued his probing, while most would have fled at the prospect of death... At his next question the creature re adjusted himself and took a few steps closer to Yuura. his beastly face more serious than before...
“To become Re-Birth... Is to become... A God...” he let that sentence trail off in the man’s mind... He wondered what his reaction to that would be...

The city’s soft midnight hum was shattered by a terrified scream that caught the alert witcheress’ attention. She took off in an instant with an inhuman speed, running along now familiar backstreets, paying close attention to where the sound was coming from. Ciri hoped desperately to reach the scene before it was too late, but as she rounded a corner, the sound of snapping bones and grotesque ripping made it clear she’d not made it in time.
She recoiled, upper lip curled with disgust. The stench of death sat heavy in the air around the horrific scene. A massive creature hovered over a recently deceased body, resting limply against a wall, as thick, dark liquids dripping from its fangs pooled around the tips of its arched, clawed feet. Ciri noticed, unfortunately, that a massive chunk was missing from the corpse’s shoulder; strings of muscle and flesh hanging loose around the wound in different layers.
As for the creature itself, the witcheress could recall none that matched its description. It was some horrific cross between man and beast, with abnormally smooth skin, and a face that brought to mind the rare, deep sea beings Geralt described to her once when recounting his adventures.
Leaning weight onto her left leg, Ciri’s wooden sword whistled as it leaped from sheath to hand, ready to strike should it make any sudden movements.
The beast was content as it gnawed away at it’s latest victim, something about this chase made the void savoir it’s eventual end, it instead of devouring his meal it quickly as per his normal routine... He felt he was far enough away from prying eyes and would be heroes here in this dark back street, but as it turns out he was wrong...
Mid-bite Merkava froze, sensing something... A low rumble erupted from him as he growled, frustrated his meal might be interrupted... The beast rose his head up slowly from the corpse, merely staring at the wall, a myriad of thought passing through his mind. Ultimately he decided on one that best fit his mood at the moment, he would toy with this would be intruder...
The beast kept then proceeded to continue his feast, but as he did his voice reached out to the intruder’s mind, “I can... sense you there...” the voice rumbled, “Are you... Afraid..?” it asked mockingly, “Do you.. fear..?” each question was punctuated by snapping bones and ripping flesh... Until finally the beast rose up again, this time standing up to it’s full towering height, “Will you run..?” the voice asked as the beast slowly turned it’s head back, it’s pale glowing eyes locking onto the shadows behind it...

The teeth resembled a human’s, and it stood like...
The Merkava tilted his head as the spoke, curious as he was afraid, but honestly the question caught him off guard, “Native... to this world?” the voice repeated, “No...I am Void... Native to no where...” though he was fairly sure this was not the answer Ridley had meant, so not wishing to incur his wrath, Merkava elaborated, “Was somewhere else... Before here...” he seemed to struggle to remember the name, “Earth...”
His bright white eyes glued to the larger purple creature to gauge his reaction, the voice spoke again... “What of you... Lord Ridley... Where do you... Come from..?”
“Biting” Cold
His voice was so soothing it reminded her of her Mother Al Rashia. She was lulled and closed her eyes. “You sleep well too Merkava.” She mumbled now unafraid of the beast and was considering it a friend. Soon she slipped into a deep slumber for the night. Her dreams filled with memories of home…and of her brothers and sisters left behind. Tears streamed down her face as she worried in her sleep how the others were fairing…
The beast stirred... Dusk had indeed come, the fading light outside the window shudders proved this... Merkava rose from his nest and stretched out on all fours like a great cat, yawning soundlessly as he did so... He looked to his guest who was still sound asleep in the bed next to him...
He craned his head down and nuzzled her gently as his voice spoke, “Seven... Awaken... Night is upon us...” He hoped this wouldn’t startle her too much, but he figured she would be more upset if she slept for too much longer... And besides, he still wanted to hear the story she promised him.
Something To Care For?
His claws gently raked over her skin, and she was sure he could easily tear right through her with those. “I-I don’t…–You didn’t cause me this wound, Merkava. You healed me, I could have died if I was left alone… You said that you extinguish life, but you had the perfect opportunity to end my life and instead, you saved me.”
“I don’t see any reason for me to leave so soon, Merkava.” He was like her. Pushing people away before they could get hurt, but that just ended in the loneliest of results. “Come, don’t you want some friends? I’ll be your friend until you grow tired of me…–How does this sound?” She asked, reaching over to him carefully and touching his long dark back. A soft pat here and there.
The beast stood stone still as she spoke... She would stay... And she really wanted to be friends with him... An array of emotions washed over Merkava, curiosity, sadness, suspicion, but mostly just happiness...
The creature moved slowly and gently as he brought Kana in and hugged her. “Yes...” the voice murmured to her as he nuzzled her face with his, “Thank you...“ Merkava held the hug for a long moment... The warmth of her body on his cold skin was a sensation he had not felt in a long time... Though he broke away from her a second later, “I... Sorry...” the voice was a tad flustered, worried that the hug may have been a bit much, “Just happy... That I have... Friend in Kana...”
Something To Care For?
Well, it wasn’t like she wasn’t technically a monster herself. Her kind was known to trick and eat people, but she chose not to follow that lifestyle. Either way, it was obvious that he was a little bit upset by who he was. –How could he not be? Eating everything that’s alive. He must be lonely. “Merkava… –You’re not evil… If you were, wouldn’t you have eaten me too? You’ve been nothing but kind to me the whole time I’ve been here. How could you say those things?”
She couldn’t just up and leave him, especially when he looked so pitiful. “You haven’t hurt me at all, you know… I won’t be going anywhere any time soon, okay?”
The creature’s initial instincts would have had him lash out at those who offered him sympathy, or said he was not what he believed himself to be... But she was right, he didn’t eat the small wounded animal that arrived in his home... Perhaps he had changed, even if only a little bit... But his head still denied him this, “It has... always been so... I arrive... they fear me... and they flee...”
The beast’s head lifted from his chest to look at the woman, “And it makes me... Hunger...” his head lowered again, “To extinguish life... to extend my own... Is that not evil..?” But her words caught him off guard... He stood slowly from his position his wings became arms again as he walked toward her, “You lie...” the voice murmured, his rough clawed hand once again touched her scar, “I caused you... Pain...” his face looked sad and confused, “Yet you... Want to stay..?”
