FJRK- Each clansman has a story to tell. Some stories are of fierce battles, some are of personal choice and the desire to chart their own destiny, while some stories are laced in tragedy.
Some of us were born clan, but for some, this journey has been a long one, filled with desperation to leave the past behind and to simply live in peace. Everyday on Rubi-Ka, there are Omni-Tek employees that say "No More!", and defect to the Clans.
For some it is as simple as filling out a form and denouncing the corporation. Fifteen years ago, Omni-Tek commissioned an organization of Omni-assassins, a group of twelve individuals of all breeds, each a master in their own field. A master of ranged weapons, a master of blades, a master of poisons, a master of emotions, a master of betrayal, and so on.
This elite group of men and women carried out the most secret of Omni-Tek operations in a more savage time on Rubi-ka. A few years ago, Omni-Tek officially decommissioned this group and in their infinite wisdom, decided to eliminate them. Each master was hunted down and perma killed.
Except for one...The Master of Blades...Lorien "Mwiljin" Xucphra.
When he saw the other masters fall, he went deep undercover trying to piece together what was happening. Omni-Tek did everything they could to draw out the remaining assassin, but he would not take their bait. They killed his fiancé in a public square in an attempt to make him surface. This only drove him deeper undercover.
Sickened by Omni-Tek, the life he had led, and driven by hatred and sorrow, Mwiljin denounced Omni-Tek and became clan. Stripped of his blade and his specialized armor, he went into hiding just a short step ahead of Omni-Pol while they hunt him relentlessly. In his weakened state, he begged Omni-Tek to let him live his life in peace. He wanted to fight no more.
But he was a loose end….unfinished business…..a blemish on the past of Omni-Tek, and so they hunt him still, with the order to Kill on sight. They know his abilities…..Omni is, after all, his teacher…..his mentor. They will not simply turn their heads and let him walk away, and they can not deny his existence and their abuse of power with the Omni-assassins. As long as one of them still lives and can recount their atrocities, they shall be the hunted.
But Omni-Tek forgets, Mwiljin is no longer a lone assassin…..a loose end. He is now a clansmen, and when they bring their fight to him, his brothers and sisters will stand with him to defend his choice to be free.
We all have stories to tell. Mwiljin asked me "What would you say of me to the people?" and I replied, "that you chose to tell your story to encourage those still held by the bonds of Omni-Tek to break free, and though the ending of your story is still unwritten, you will not go quietly into the night"
