Work Your Way Into Our Lives, Dreary Smoke

Summary:

Taken in by Serpent's Hand, a secret organization after being found in the ruins of a secret laboratory that experimented and altered one for years was simply nothing to scoff at. But for one to find out that they wished nothing more than to welcome them in without so much of an ulterior motive?

And to further allow the space to heal, to live a proper life far from normal sure, but proper. Could Knox Umbra accept that?

The scarred petals that would once bloom would simply need time to heal, yet the welcoming arms that held them did not rush or force, they simply waited for shaky ones to relinquish the caring hold.

Notes:

Another Mainline fic but with Multiple chapters! We End As We Began will be the same as this one, multi chapter and in depth, but that will come with its rewrite either during this fic's writing or after it, only time will tell.

The first chapter is meant to be an introductory to the main characters, and while some of them will not be fully introduced until chapter 3, they will remain here so as not to drag my readers around and to prevent having to edit the first chapter more than once.

Other than that, enjoy! Chapter 1 is a character introductory and the main work starts on chapter 2.

Chapter 1: Introductory (Descriptive)

Summary:

Simple introductory to the main characters as mentioned prior. Outfits will change accordingly as the fic continues on, and will be represented as such in writing, the main outfits described are the ones relevant up until that point.

Chapter Text

Eden Rhinestone 

 

The head of Serpent's Hand and a mysterious figure at that, Eden Rhinestone stands at a 6’5/195cm and dresses for the formal part with the occasional black leather jacket draped over the shoulders, a white suit shirt tucked into a black waist corset, and black suit pants to tie it all together save for the combat boots for comfortability. 

 

With long wavy white hair accompanied with black ends fading into the white and with black splotching the scalp area, length ending at her breasts and under her shoulders, her appearance would give off nothing more than just a business woman, but her monolid eyes and black dual diamond pupils encased in a blue top green bottom iris meeting in the middle give more than enough intrigue. Her facial features stand out slightly, with pointed ears, straight eyebrows, full lips and a round chin. 

 

Under her clothing lies earned muscle and a medium bust, a flat toned stomach to match the rest of her form with tattoos one might be privy to viewing if lucky, but her slithery hold lies beyond the large slash scar on her side and the scars on her hands and arms though small.

 

A serpent is no less dangerous than the fangs hiding behind lips kept closed until the time is right. 

 

Larissa Ingunn 

 

Lieutenant of Serpent's Hand and a laid back one at that, Larissa Ingunn stands at a 5'9/175cm, dressing relevant to her affiliation when needed yet equally opposing so if the moment refuses to call for it. As Lieutenant, the classical black jacket held over one shoulder and dark blue suit shirt leaving two buttons open flow together with her black suit pants. And standard for their line of work just as Eden, she prefers wearing combat boots laced up. 

 

With slightly wavy hair starting with black at the top of her head, a dark blue envelops itself in and around the black, seeping down with the dark blue alongside a lighter blue incorporating itself into the mix before it all transforms into white at the ends of her hair, ending just under her shoulders. Beautiful her mane may be, most of it remains within her facial features and most importantly her eyes.

 

A light violet blue with specks of white mars her irises, the pupil remaining a dark blue gray in of itself. Accompanied with round ears, arched eyebrows, slanted eyes, a snubbed nose, thin lips and a fleshy chin, it's no surprise Eden found a lapis locked gem hiding itself away. 

 

While her body remains muscular just as much as Eden's is, working to be functional with a slight showing of it, her chest is a bit smaller with a toned stomach. A scar lines her right side, a deep healed gash with numerous smaller scars surrounding it, as if the wind itself had cut its harshness into her without empathy. 

 

Just as laid back as Miralis, yet hiding something within. The sleeping monsoon calls for a song to wake its dormancy when the heat of battle rises.

 

Oberon ‘Schrade’ Miralis 

 

Second Lieutenant of Serpent's Hand and equally as lax as Larissa, Oberon ‘Schrade’ Miralis stands at a 5'8/172cm, dressing not as much the part as Larissa and Eden even for the affiliation yet remaining quite formal when needed. As Lieutenant he dresses with a simple oversized gray zip up jacket, extending down past the black belt and to his upper thighs, meeting over gray jeans that follow into black combat boots. 

 

With curly dark sienna colored hair in a mullet draping down to his shoulders, the ends of the hair blend into a dark asphalt color to offer a more casual laid back feel, betraying any association an unfamiliar face may have with his standing yet serving still in the well taken look it carries in of itself along its beholder.

 

Amber irises encapsulate black pupils, accompanying upturned eyes and straight eyebrows, with a roman nose, a pointed chin and wide lips. 

 

His body like Larissa and Eden is demanding of praise, having a slightly muscular stomach with smaller more prominent scars on his abdomen. Unlike his front, his back hides away a few deep healed gashes from long ago. 

 

Just like Larissa on both fronts. The rumbling thunder calls forth for a sight of flashing lights, begetting the awakening of the Etherstrider. 

 

Knox Umbra

 

A newly appointed member of Serpent's Hand and their Assassin to boot, very little is known about Knox Umbra currently other than their tendency to be like smoke and mirrors. Standing at a 5’6/167cm, Knox simply dresses with whatever is provided for the occasion, often going with a black ankle length overcoat, a black shirt residing under it tucked into black cargo jeans pocketed with enough space and room for extra weaponry. Harnesses reside on the jeans themselves for knives if ever needed but often serve as a cosmetic look, and the black shoes sport the same idea of hidden knives at the sole. 

 

With black straight hair in wolf cut form trailing down to his shoulders, the more modern look does well to blend him into crowds and spaces as a simple young adult, dealing well to avert prying eyes as nothing more than a civilian when needed. 

 

Black irises with dark gray pupils accompany hooded eyes and straight eyebrows, normal ears hidden slightly behind his hair and a bumpy nose following into thin lips and a square chin. 

 

His body, often never shown and rarely ever seen by others, retains a semi muscular stomach with countless scars running all over his body of differing sizes, the larger ones however marring the back. 

 

No less like the others, Knox hides something behind the skittish demeanor and reluctant presence, exuding a questionable air of mystery tucked away carefully for the right moment of comfortability to reveal.
