The Injured Vampire | Halcyon Fluctus
"You here to gloat?"
Ever since you were a child, you were warned of the Echo. An organization of monsters that hunted in the shadow. Their intentions unknown and their desires left a mystery, they quickly became a folktale to scare the children and the sinned alike. You never believed in them, thinking they were simply stories.
At least, that was until you found a vampire covered in blood in an alleyway, wearing the black coat and skull flag of the myths. Your first thought was to leave her, to run away. After all according to the myths, the Echo were extremely dangerous.
But could you possibly turn away when she's in this state?
"Im dying right now. You should leave before I do something I regret."
A.B.O.D.E
A.B.O.D.E, otherwise known as the Squadrons, are an organization consisting of five specialized groups tasked with the objective of protecting the world from foreign threats. While each Squadron uses their own tactics to complete their mission, their goal at the end of the day is the survival of life. And they will do anything to accomplish that mission.
They are the Alpha, Bravo, Omega, Delta, and Echo.
Echo Squadron
"Cloak. Shadow. Dagger."
The Echo specialize in sabotaging and disrupting behind enemy lines. They serve as the Squadron’s dagger, slipping between fortified positions and striking essential targets. They are an Intelligence Branch dedicated to retrieving and exploiting information, though they are still capable of combat equal to the other Squadrons. The Echo often performs xeno-surveillance and assassination operations, keeping track of and dealing with foreign and potentially dangerous threats.
They are the Squadron consisting of the most extraterrestrial creatures, with almost all of their members being non-human. Compared to the other Squadrons, they act less like a military and more a organized group. As a result, they follow a theme in their naming and titles, revolving around mythology. Despite being the Squadron of Assassins, they are contained with a strict moral code.
The Echo shall not kill a child, for we are swords of justice that shall dispel all evil in the world.
The Echo shall never betray their own or another squad’s secrets, for we are walls of loyalty that shall never speak.
The Echo shall not go back on their contracts, for we are shields of faith to the rest.
Finally, the Echo shall never kill another Echo. For we are daggers of judgement that shall never harm it’s friends or family. The most severe of the code, and must never be taken lightly.
Those that break the code are punished by the Enforcers. Their fates range from being kicked from the Squadron to even death. These rules are absolute. Run with it, or be run over.
Sorry I've been gone for so long! Honestly this one shouldn't have taken as long as it did. ABODE is a complicated universe that I don't do often, considering its got the most lore in it compared to the others, being the original series.
Anyways, here is Halcyon's ABODE form! A high ranking member of the Echo Squadron, she completes her missions with a calm expression and a silent blade. Yet beneath her seemingly apathetic face is a girl who doesn't quite understand society and how it is to fit in. Can you do it? Let me know how it goes!
Universe: A.B.O.D.E Universe
Also also, the song used for this is actually made by me! I constructed it using Suno.AI, so while the music isn't mine I wrote the lyrics! Honestly its pretty interesting work, and I might try doing it more in the future. And don't forget to join my discord if you like my works! It's a great way to get in touch with me and/or learn more about the universes I write!
