My first memory was waking up in an alley, pain and exhaustion coursing through my body as I stumbled to my feet. My mind was a haze as I staggered around and tried to make sense of my situation. It was as I fumbled around that I caught sight of my reflection and bore witness to the mangled state of my body. Scars and metal across my body, with this big red glowing eye prominent on my face. I was a Cyber, and if the damage on my body was any indication, I didn’t exactly become one by choice.

What happened to render me in such a state of mind and body? I still have no idea.

However, I did have some good fortune; as my dazed stumbling eventually carried me into the presence of a people who I would come to trust. Engaged in a melee with a local gang; I found myself drawn into the conflict as the thugs descended on me. That was when I gained some potential clue to my past, my body moved on instinct as I tore into them. When the fight was over, I was standing with my newly made friends over the heap of bodies we left beaten and broken.

With no leads on my past and life before waking up in that alley, making new friends was a life saver. So, I joined with the Null Wraiths, a group that exceled in… dealing with individuals who skirted justice and were in desperate need of a reckoning. My skills proved to be of ample use in that regard; my handling of sniper rifles allowed me to down targets from distance, while a combination of revolvers and blades in my arms gave me medium to melee range capability. My time with the Wraiths allowed me to further hone my skills and learn how to best make use of my mechanical body. It was also enjoyable for the time I got to spend with my family, with new memories to make up for losing the old.

But, my past was something I desperately wanted to reclaim. To know how I ended up the way I am now. I eventually took my leave of the Wraiths’ employ, heading out to find something, anything, that would shed light on my situation. Of course, I still needed to make money, so I threw myself into the bounty hunter game. Turns out the skills I put to use for the Wraiths are good for multiple professions. I also still would do some wet work if I was ever in the area the Wraiths were working, in turn they’d help me whenever I needed.

Now, I’ve been given the chance to something that could give me my past back. The Soul Hunter, a ship tailor made to hunt down the mythical Adamant Soul. Though I have found myself throwing myself in with some new faces, some a bit strange even by my standards. Still, I feel I can trust them; which is worth its weight in gold since a prize like the Adamant Soul will take our all to claim.

Hey a solo image of the other half of the main duo of characters. Done by the ever awesome  xehta13 of course.

This time we get an image of Noxsu Vandred, captain of the Soul Hunter, former assassin of the Null Wraiths, and a bounty hunter of immense skill. Noxsu wields twin revolvers, twin armblades, and a sniper rifle in order to get the job done. More than that though, he's also capable and willing to overclock his body. A massive increase in physical ability, the cost for overclocking is an even greater drain of stamina and taxing his body at a much more accelerated rate. There's a reason why it not possible for most people to do it, because they wind up killing themselves doing it.

Noxsu claims he can handle it and knows his limits though, and to be fair because he's done it so much he has learned. Still doesn't keep his friends from getting pissed at him though. But if the job gets done and his comrades are alright, than as far as he's concerned its all worth it in the end.

And just a little fun note for everyone, the reason you haven't been seeing new Adamant Soul episodes isn't because I'm being lazy. Actually I'm redoubling my efforts to write it. I'm already nearly done with Episode 19 now. But why haven't I been posting them? Well because I've decided I'm going to go and release AS on Amazon Kindle and stuff like that. I'm actually going to try and do this thing professionally.

As a result I also plan to go through the previous episodes and edit them heavily so that the whole thing will be better. And when I finish and release it I hope I can count on you loyal watchers to buy it in some form or another. It would be a wonderful show of support for me.
