pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. he’ll break before he bends. ( an independent / selective roleplaying blog for haytham kenway from ubisoft's assassin's creed series. )

i had begun to think of myself not so much as a templar but a man with assassin roots and templar beliefs, whose heart had briefly been lost to a mohawk woman. a man with a unique perspective, in other words.

this is an independent and selective roleplaying blog for HAYTHAM KENWAY from the assassin's creed series. this blog is heavily HEADCANON-BASED, and considers forsaken canon. focusing on themes such as CORRUPTION THROUGH LOSS, DESPAIR AS THE DEATH OF ACTION, BEING CURSED BY APOLLO, and HOW LOVE MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH.

* mun has a chronic hand condition that makes typing for long periods difficult, therefore activity may be spotty.

PERSONAL BLOGS ( non-roleplay blogs ), you should NOT be reblogging my writing. I WILL BLOCK YOU. my writing isn’t for your blog, it’s for my partners. you are welcome to read it and enjoy it and like it if you want to, but reblogging it makes it difficult for me to keep track of and spreads it outside of my circle, which i’m not okay with.

MINORS, you should NOT be following this blog. I WILL BLOCK YOU. this is for your safety and mine and i’m sorry, but it has to be this way. if i follow you and you are a minor, assume that i didn’t see it. you can either reach out to me ( i will unfollow immediately ) or block me.

INCEST SHIPPERS, if you even come near me i will slap you senseless, and then I WILL BLOCK YOU. don’t touch my blog.

this is not a pro-templar blog. though assassin's creed iii presents a very complex character in haytham, he is still a villain, and his perspective on the templar cause does not always align with his actions, and certainly not with the actions of the order as a whole. i am here neither to slander him nor to excuse him. i am here to eat him like he's a five star meal.

"hey there, it's me again! i have a fun new sin idea!"

"you ever been to church? you ever read a bible?

"i feel like it's a pretty simple premise."

"i let him in here as a joke!"

"i've eaten nothing but drywall for the past three years."

"they would've answered the call. they would've been here to kill me immediately."

revolutionary girl utena starter sentences.

part one! a collection of quotes from the anime. feel free to alter as needed.

but was that really such a good idea?

despite my looks, i'm a normal girl, and all i want is a totally normal boy!

if it cannot break out of its shell, the chick will die without ever being born.

let's have tea and laugh together ten years from now, okay? promise?

he who believes friendship exists is a fool.

didn't you know? i'm a fool.

what a coincidence. that tea is poisoned too.

i exploited your innocence. i encroached upon your kindness. i'm sorry, i've been unfair to you. i've betrayed you all along.

i was the one who cheated you! i was the one who used you! i was the one who betrayed you!

open your heart and talk to people, and anybody would accept you, i'm sure!

what i'm doing now is taking back who i used to be!

i came to save you. i came here to meet you.

i guess, in the end, i couldn't be a prince. forgive me, for pretending to be a prince.

at last! we finally meet!

if it’s for someone you love… how you feel about others doesn’t matter. you keep lying to yourself for as long as it takes.

people find it hard to doubt those they've fallen in love with. they can't even imagine they're being deceived and used.

i feel it’s hard for me to deal with a place where there are so many people. somehow, they all start to look the same, and that frightens me.

i thought that no matter what befell my body, my heart wouldn't feel the pain.

by all means, stay in this cozy little coffin. but i have to go now.

now it's my turn to go. no matter where you are, i'll find you for sure. wait for me.

women who cannot become princesses have no choice but to become witches.

sincerity by itself changes nothing. without power, one finds themselves merely depending on others to live.

if you won't defend what's precious to you, people will take it from you.

it's like something was stolen from you and made you a coward!

when everything around you is impure, you have no choice but to become impure yourself.

eternity means lasting forever, right? i... want eternity.

it's just that one could think that a heart that longs for eternity is beautiful.

she's a fool because she doesn't realise that her miracle is standing atop someone else's sacrifice.

"Fine," Benjamin agreed, for once not meeting the other man's clipped tone. "What encryption is your preferred method? My mentor, Nathaniel Sackett, is assuredly going to ask farther down the line, so I figured I'd spare you the trouble and ask now. He's far more--" peculiar; colorful "--particular than I am, so his standards will need to be met before you can begin."

Haytham's so-called regard for Washington made Benjamin's cheek twitch. "Yes," he treaded. "A commander you don't seem thrilled about following. So long as we keep this about the colonies and not personal vendettas, I think we can all be of use to one another."

The jab about the rum, perhaps a low blow, made a hint of color spear across Benjamin's cheeks and he huffed, absently fiddling with the saber on his hip. "Yes, well...when you have to brutally maim and murder young boys nearly every month, I suppose rum is a soothing alternative." His gaze sharpened. "I was a teacher before the war. I never dreamt I'd one day be killing children rather than instructing them. So yes...I suppose I should work on being cold and callous like all the rest of your sort."

Not wishing to argue, he raised a hand, his jaw clenching. "Apologies," he muttered, even though the word felt hollow. "If you're ready, I can take you to meet Mr. Sackett."

[fortrivmph]

How best to convey that he didn't care a tinker's fig for Nathaniel Sackett's standards? Best not to. He kept his expression impartial, resting his cheek on his knuckles, keeping those ocean eyes fixed on Tallmadge's face. "I can do most anything you ask for," he said easily. Half the encryption methods flying across the colonies had been invented by Templars; the other half weren't difficult to piece together, with the right tools. "As I said, I'm at your disposal. If you'd like to have someone check my work, feel free -- though it will slow things down, and it's a waste of time. I don't make mistakes." A bold claim, but he said it so plainly, with no braggadocio and all forwardness. A peculiar man, to be sure.

However, he bristled slightly at the other man's tangent about murdering children. His lips thinned, his shoulders tensed, and he narrowed his eyes. "Your sort, is it? You know, Mister Tallmadge, you're not polite." Perhaps he could have been more sympathetic, but they were at war, and he wasn't here to coddle soldiers who couldn't carry the load. "Why don't we stay on topic. Lead on, I'll follow."

She smirked, a flicker of pride glittering in her eyes with her ability to call his bluff. He didn't look like the other men in here, not the deckhands. If anything he looked like a captain or, curiously, someone with much more of a significant influence.

"And pray tell, what exactly does a man of your ilk expect to get from a woman like me?" Fantine almost laughed. Her eyes briefly met his before her gaze fell to the table, tracing grains in wood. "The classier brothels are further in town, Monsieur. Cost you a pretty penny, too."

[fortrivmph]

"I'm not interested in the brothels," he said firmly, lips tight. He'd done enough of that in his youth, and hadn't so much as touched a woman since-- well. Men were another story, of course; they always had been. But he couldn't reach for the fairer sex without thinking of her. To stem the tide of memories, he raised a hand for drinks to be brought, then turned back to Fantine. "It's just as you said. I want information. Anything interesting you've noticed by the docks. Gossip you might have heard. Strange visitors."

"Yes, I'm sure there aren't too many Spartan women here." She set sail from England and the journey was far from the worst she'd had. But with her many, many years sailing the seas, she was prepared for anything the ocean could throw at her. It was always amusing to watch people's reactions when she mentioned Sparta, she wondered if people considered it a modern city, and while she will always call it a part of Greece, her home was now under Ottoman control. So many empires had come and gone in her years. She was certain the Ottomans wouldn't be the last. "Is there trouble stirring that I should be made aware of, Mr. Kenway?" Kenway, she had met a Kenway before... in the Carribean. Curious. "And how would you advise one to take care? I only stepped foot to shore today." Simple enough questions that she hoped would give her a better lay of the situation she may have been walking into.

[fortrivmph]

He had gotten a taste of Ottoman control in Turkey, when he'd gone to retrieve Jenny. For all that Britain exoticised and exaggerated the spread of Islam across the Mediterranean and Europe, Haytham had found it an empire much like any other: diverse, at times militant and at others content to rest on its laurels, weighing slaughter and subjugation against art and education. He had seen the best and worst of it, the grand mosques and synagogues, preserved texts the newly-established British Museum could only dream of, a mixing of cultures they certainly didn't get in the south of England; and the treatment of women, the maiming of men, but, well, that was everywhere. What had happened to Holden would remain with him forever, but he had not found the Ottomans uniquely cruel. How could he, living in the colonies? Anyone could rob another of a limb -- or a member.

"You've sailed into a bit of a situation," he said, with typical English gentility. "Boston is rather a powder keg. Some disagreement between the colonists and the Crown. You might find the locals... less than friendly, at present. If you come across trouble in the streets, I would suggest keeping out of it." That was for both of their sakes: half the trouble in Boston was stirred up by Haytham's own men.
