So who's up for a little violence?

A few of you might have noticed the guy in a mask skulking around the ship. Thanks to an encounter in the Red Room, he's no longer going to be in 'observation' mode. He's looking for the young woman that started a fight with him, as leaving things unfinished is just not his style. Since she escaped, he's actively hunting throughout the ship for her. He's armed. And he's not shy about stabbing people. Anyone who encounters the Soldier while he's on the prowl can just let him go past and stay unharmed, consequence free. Anyone who attempts to stop him? Becomes a target as well. Anyone who engages him in an actual fight? Also deemed a target.

Now, since in-game death consequences are pretty steep, he can simply injure characters severely as opposed to killing them outright, since he's got somewhere else to be anyway and the main point of fighting them would be to get them out of his way. So that's an option for people who don't want their pups actually dying. Additionally, anyone with the ability to restrain him is certainly welcome to do that, though he will continue to fight to try and get loose and complete his 'mission', so you may need to find somewhere secure to stick him afterwords...

But if that doesn't happen, he's going to continue to try and kill Devi and anyone he perceives as being in his way. So anyone who'd like to hash out an encounter with his maniac, hit me up!

Um... o/ Can this asshat stop some bullets and restrain him using his own metal arm at some point? >.>

Too much?

/shoots hand up.

Obviously, since Caius is Devi's boyfriend, and while she's healing; still a bit vulnerable, he's going to definitely stand the Soldier's way.

His age, strength, fighting expertise and near instant healing will pose quite the challenge, if that's what you're looking for.

Guy with a gun and a knife hunting someone? This sounds like a supremely bad idea.

Which just happens to be a constant mistake a certain vampire makes. This will lead to interesting places.

I shall have to work Lydia hearing things into her threads! I'm not sure if there's any way for her to try and stop him, but is it kosher for her to figure out from banshee powers alone that it's him?

Oh man I definitely want to throw Ming into this. She'd intervene if she saw him stalking around actively armed. Verbally, at first, though I am all for escalation. Ming's a pacifist but she has no problem defending herself or others.

Also, while she can 'die' if she suffers a fatal wound, 'dying' for her is just passing out for a couple of minutes and then coming right back anyway.

I know we talked at some point about Cho nerfing the metal arm with Sorcery. Also, if the Soldier is determined to kill Devi, she could maybe give her some protection that keeps him away. When we originally discussed it, it was for Steve, but it'd work on anyone who wears it.

Ben hasn't gotten into a good hand to hand fight in a long time. >.>

Zoey would totally put herself in his way in an attempt to delay him/keep him from his target.
