It was a cold, dark night on an ice covered planet, gusts of wind pick up snow and blow it throughout the air making visibility almost non-existent. A Blooded Yautja's bracer had been activated, sending a notice out to the stars, another fallen brother joined the ranks of the honored dead. What possibly could of killed him, a warrior of renown and prowess, it was unclear but made Datuin grow slightly in excitement inside, knowing something on this forsaken ice rock he stood upon was worthy prey. Having been sent with two other Young bloods to bring the body of the fallen brother back, the trio surveyed the land, what little of it they could see at least.
Datuin was eager to begin the hunt for this creature, whatever it was, something that the elders made clear to him that it would be his downfall as through eagerness, his patience also lacked. This hunt would either make or break the young blood as nothing indicated what he would soon face. Nodding to the other Yautja, they began their hunt, moving quickly through the snow, the wind howling so loud that it was near impossible to hear anything around them. Datuin suddenly threw up his fist, signalling the others he see's something however one of the brothers not noticing this continued to advance only to be crushed by what seemed like a giant boulder made of ice that had fallen from some sort of entrance into the side of the valley. Upon seeing this, Datuin pushes his feet off the ground in a backwards motion, landing on one knee as he looks up, tilting his head as he looked around the area then to the body of his now dead brother. Clenching his fist the young Predator moved, gripping ahold of the brothers bracer, setting it to self destruct as they moved closer to the entrance looming in the valley side. Whilst it was troubling Datuin that a brother had died so easily to the environment, he could not afford his brother a proper burial during a hunt and thus pushed onward into the mountainside and in the cave like structure as they heard a thud from behind as the bracer detonated.
"The air is rife with blood, we are close brother...Whatever killed our honored brother looms inside....We must be" Datuin suddenly stopped talking as he heard movement coming from the ceiling of the cave. Gripping ahold one of his Shuriken from his belt, he hurled it in the direction of the noise, severing what soon revealed to be a Serpant's tail. It landed on the ground with a thud, screeching in pain as the remainder of its tail thrashed around, hurtling acidic blood all over the cave entrance making Datuin and Thwago dive for cover although none could be found making Datuin keep on moving to avoid the splatter of acid. They were way over their head and he knew it. Damn his eagerness to take up this hunt but if he could kill it, it would bring honor to his clan, the Luar-ke Clan was a dwindling clan and almost extinguished. The young blood acted, moving quickly, jumping from side to side as he advanced on the R'ka, hurtling his powerful body into it, sending them both flying through the air and crashing into a boulder, smashing it to pieces. The serpent reacted quickly, slashing at Datuin rolling on the ground, shredding into the young bloods left arm as it took the advantage of getting on top of him. Just as it was about to finish Datuin off, Thwago appeared out of nowhere, spearing the beast in the head, pinning it to the ground and killing it instantly. Datuin sighed in relief but quickly turned to shame as he realised the honor of the kill was not his to claim.
Pushing the corpse of the R'ka off him, Datuin got to his feet, holding his left arm. The armour he wore had shielded the blow but had left him with a broken arm. Clicking his mandibles, the Predator spoke to Thwago "Now we know what killed our brother...Thank you, the honor of the kill is yours." Thwago, a hunter of little words merely nodded as he took the trophy of the severed tail, using the acid to mark himself, now declaring himself as blooded. Datuin grunted as he looked around, removing his biomask as he looked around the cave, noticing in the corner the fallen brothers remains, his body battered and bloodied. Moving over to the fallen Yautja, Datuin placed his good hand on the predators chest, a sign of respect as he then reached for his bracer.
"We must go, our hunt is complete and we've killed what killed our brother" Thwago said. Nodding, Datuin Luar-ke turned to face Thwago as a look of anger was visible in his eyes. Green luminescent blood burst from Thwago's chest as a Sharp and black tail erupted out of the Predator, killing him instantly. This one was big and it was coming for Datuin next. Emitting a roar to challenge the new R'ka that appeared from behind Thwago, he moved to engage, dodging the first few tail swipes as the serpent engaged also. Ducking and rolling until he was too slow for one swipe, sending him crashing through the air again and smashing off the cave wall. Datuin landed with a thud, blood trickling from his mouth. Roaring once again, Datuin charged once more after pushing himself off, grabbing the spear still lodged inside the other serpent as he jumped, it almost felt like everything was in slow motion as the young blood landed, swiping the R'ka off its feet with the spear, twirling it around as he lunged it forward into the serpent's chest although it did not kill it. Datuin noticing this quickly moved to avoid the retaliation but was gripped by the serpent's claws as it held him infront, ready to tear him apart, gunk falling from the R'ka's mouth as it hissed, its head getting closer and closer until it was close enough. Reaching from his belt, the young blood slammed his fist upwards into the jaw of the R'ka making it still for a second before falling down dead and what was revealed was his dagger, lodged deep into the creatures brain. Landing on his feet after the Serpent had died, he looked around for more R'ka's expecting to be attacked again yet nothing remained it seemed. Clicking his mandibles together, the young blood thought to himself for a moment "Have I finally done it, have I brought honor to the clan once more?"
Gripping the dagger from the serpent's jaw, he yanked hard, removing it from the tight hold it had on the serpent. Datuin tilted his head as he examined the dagger covered in the acidic blood. Gripping the knife, Datuin soon began to carve a mark on his head, signifying him of his new status as blooded before shoving the disolving dagger back into the R'ka and severing its head. Removing a bit of rope, the hunter secured the head onto the rope and fasted it to his back. Looking over to his fallen brother, he slowly walked over, nodding once before activating the self-destruct on dead Yautja's bracer which would destroy Thwago's body and the cave also. Datuin moved towards the entrance of the cave as the beeping began to increase, a sense of pride having completed the hunt and honor for his clan once again...
Datuin believes in honor above everything else and honoring the dead who have proven worthy so with that being said he strives to bring honor to his clan in the means of worthy trophies. He carefully selects his targets based on their threat level and if it would bring honor. I'd like to Roleplay a bit more with other Predator's, trying to show them his worth especially to those more well known for their honor. He is from a dwindling clan and the more honor he can bring, the more his clan will grow at least in his mind. I want to create interesting roleplay engagements with both Marines and Xeno's alike, placing Datuin in situation's that would allow him to show his worth to other Yautja.
Having played on Colonial Marines since 2015, I've watched throughout the years as the server has grown to the implemention of Predators. I am familiar with the Code and I believe I can really bring some interesting roleplay engagements and also promote more roleplay between Predators.
Yes.
