Le Monarque
Le Monarque Lore: “Wings flutter. Beauty distracts. Poison injects. The butterfly’s curse extends to your enemies. A short life, shortened further by your hand.” -Ada-1 We sit together and stare out into the distance, at the mountains that stretch toward the heavens. There are still vibrant parts of the world, and we must not forget them. To fill her mind with them is to make her human. To connect her to the world before. Nearby, a flutter of butterflies seek their next batch of sustenance, knowing not what the world around them has become. She watches them. They are new to her. A wayward butterfly from the flutter lands on her arm. She looks at it, and then to me. “Le Monarque,” she says. I nod and attempt a smile. I watch her. Somehow she reminds me of it. Beautiful and dangerous all at once. Sadness washes over me. I reach out and rub her back, a fleeting moment of comfort for us both, as the feel of her cold body against my hand causes me to pull away. For a moment, I forgot what she was. There’s an awkward silence. I steal another glance at her, simultaneously frightened of and in awe of who and what she is. A product of my own twisted ambition and desperation. The monarch flies away, unlikely to be seen again. Discover More Weapons Here
Jötunn
Jötunn Lore: “Untamed. Destructive. As forceful and chaotic as Ymir himself.” -Ada-1 To: Henriette Meyrin CC: Yuki Satou Subject: Yesterday… Hen, It’s no secret that our conversation yesterday didn’t go as smoothly as it could have. I came in hot and you overreacted. We’ll both have to learn to be more professional in those kinds of situations going forward. But I’m not just going to drop this. The Armory will be better for it. It’s a chance to make real meaningful connections with organizations that want what we want. The possibilities are endless. Look, you sought me out, brought me here to this project in large part because of my connections. This is the gold mine. And I know, I haven’t said the best things about them in the past. Had my share of hiccups with them. They’re not perfect, but then again neither are we. What the Armory is doing, many would lump us both together. I know that’s not the best sales pitch, so let me put it in perspective. Enemy of my enemy. It’s that simple. We’re all preparing to fight the same threat, whatever it may be, and we all stand to lose the same things. Our best bet is to stand together, and we start that process here, one step at a time. Exos are the future. And we can help make them better than ever. Plus, don’t forget we hold the cards here. This is our tech. They can’t touch it, modify it, etc, without our approval. But they can try and steal it or replicate it. I’d rather we maintain control of it, wouldn’t you? Listen, we’re sisters. We’re family. You know I love you, and you know I wouldn’t come to you with this if I didn’t think it wasn’t in the Armory’s best interests. And in all honesty, if you firmly decide no, then I’ll respect that. You know I will. But please say yes. For the future of the Armory. For the future of humanity. For the futures of our children. -Helga Discover More Weapons Here
Anarchy
Anarchy Lore: “Stick to wall, ground, human… then FFFFFRRRRRYYYYY! Hehehehehehehe.” -Siviks, Lost to None “You little rat. You took my warm hospitality and stomped all over it like an ungrateful child. Is that any way to treat one of your dear ‘brethren’?” Siviks laughed. A cold, twisted laugh. Then offered up a large wad of spit at the Spider’s feet. The Spider just rolled his eyes. “Let me know when you’re ready to make nice,” he said. Siviks’ laugh now grew into something maniacal. He topped it off with another wad of spit, this time directly in the Spider’s face. Once he’d wiped his brow, the Spider leaned forward, looking Siviks in the eyes, and said, “I think our little rat here needs a time out. Perhaps someplace with the rest of the vermin.” The many hands of Spider’s men gripped and restrained Siviks. As they dragged him off, he shouted, “You… as bad as all Fallen! Worse, even! A friend even to humans… All must die!” The Spider simply waved goodbye, taunting, “Bon voyage, my friend!” Once Siviks had gone, the Spider looked longingly toward where he had stood. He sighed a deep, regretful sigh before continuing with business as usual. Discover More Weapons Here – ext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec ornare placerat interdum.

Izanagi’s Burden
Izanagi’s Burden Lore: “Shame. Guilt. Fear. We all bear them. Gather your regrets, purge them as best you can. Let your enemies feel the weight of your burdens.” -Ada-1 “I have it,” I say, feeling Henriette’s gaze piercing through me. The Exo holds her back. Inside that head of hers I know she’s screaming for me not to do it. But I have to. It’s is the kind of thing one does for love. The burden one takes on. I refuse to look back at her. I can’t let those eyes stop me. “What you want. The Exo doesn’t have it anymore. I do,” I tell the man with the drone. Tears are streaming down Henriette’s face now. She’s shaking her head. I still can’t look. I know the feelings that would flow through me if I did. “Yuki, no! Please don-” Henriette cries, only to be interrupted by the man. “Shh, darling. You’d best quiet down. Let me and your friend here finish our little transaction.” I’ve rarely ever seen her tears. She’s not normally one to make them. Usually I’m the one who needs comforting. Needs my eyes dried. And she’s always the one to do it. Fearless Henriette. Well, Hen, today it’s my turn. Today I save you. The man scowls, his voice grows sharper. “Hand it over then. I won’t ask twice.” I nod, and I try to stay calm. I try to use it to lure him in. A false sense of security. “I’m just going to reach into my bag now,” I tell him. He shakes his head. “Not so fast, friend.” He takes a few steps, stopping an inch away from me, the barrel of his cannon in my face. “Let’s keep any potential wrong moves to a minimum here, please.” Then he nods for me to go ahead. I’m absolutely relieved. He took the bait. And now he’ll pay the price. I can’t go just yet, though. I need just… one more glance. One last look at those eyes of hers. I can’t help it. It’s too late now, anyway. My hand is in the bag and I’ve already pulled the pin. No turning back. My eyes dart to the side, to hers. They lock, one last time. I’m at peace. I let her know with a smile. I hope she finds hers. I swear she’s in my head, hearing me say goodb- Discover More Weapons Here
The Last Word
The Last Word Lore: “Yours, until the last flame dies and all words have been spoken.” -Shin Malphur to you, as you journey forth into the unknown Knew this day would come, and with it, one last lesson… There’s an end to all things, kid. Good and bad. Sure, the best times seem small, and the bad tend to linger, but the only permanent is eternity. I’m off to meet it. If you’re lucky, someday you will too. For now, though, you’ve got road yet traveled and lives yet lived. I know you got hate in you. Most do. Trick is to use it, ‘stead of it usin’ you. But you know this-vengeance is a motivator, not the motive. Meant to-hoped to-say these words to you one last time in person, but writin’ ’em down seems the safe bet with the prey we’re trackin’. Worst part about bein’ a good guy? As much as you may want it, you can’t always win. But that truth don’t bother me. We do the right thing, ’cause the right thing needs doin’. So, when another does harm-casts their shadow upon you or your kin-you go ‘head and hunt for the justice needed to answer any sins inflicted. Don’t hunt ’em ’cause you been wronged. Hunt ’em ’cause what they did was wrong. There’s a world of difference there, kid. One makes you selfish. The other makes you a hero. And I see a hero in you. And with this last good lesson, a gift. I know it feels right in your hand-its weight easy, its trigger smooth. Use it as you will-I know you’ll use it right. It’s yours now, ’til the last flame dies and all words’ve been spoken. ‘Til that time. Safe journeys. Straight aim. And good huntin’. J. -A letter to Shin Malphur from his third father, Jaren Ward, written before Ward’s ill-fated showdown with the infamous Dredgen Yor in the wooded hollow beyond Beggars’ Gulch Discover More Weapons Here
