Ares was a bit dumbfounded by the entire notion. One hand went up to his hair, brushing some of the dirty locks away from his shades. Then he sweaty back of his hand wiped some dirt from his brow and forehead. They were nervous ticks. Motions he would go through when he had something on his mind. He...

Ares was right alongside Deke. He had been reluctant at best to go along with this silly notion of abandoning the library. Then he overheard the last part of that hushed conversation. Eugene isn't going to fit, huh. "Tough luck, tough shit. C'mon Sticks, Nash, quit pussyfootin around. Let's mak...

Ares remained on his second floor encampment, staring out over the road to the gathering mob. Every now and then he would practice whipping himself from a wall to aiming his guns in that direction, fingers weighing heavily to pull the triggers. But no shots were fired, it was only practice. He hated...

Ares cursed as he saw lots more on the edge of his field of vision. He adjusted the magnification on his shades to the full 20x to see what he could about the new challenge. After taking a look, he donned his urban camo, then went and grabbed his backpack of gear, and pulled it onto both of his shou...

Ares remained on the second floor, watching as the biker gang fled from the library. Both guns were levelled on a cluster of them, as they headed off. A cruel grin curled onto his lips as he pulled both triggers and emptied the remaining 8 bullets from each clip at the group. He didn't expect them t...

I believe that a few innocent lives taken by the death penalty would be worth it for the thousands saved by removing the criminals which would otherwise make more victims. Besides that, it's no different that sentencing an innocent man to life in prison. Their life is ruined one way or the other, bu...

In the peripheral of his mind, Ares knew that the library was surrounded. He also knew that the number of bodies on this side of the library was falling short. They were dwindling out. The ones that remained stood below in fear of him, the lone gunman, who seemed impervious to attack. Their morale w...

There were people getting into the library. Sticks had taken several bullets. The first floor was being overwhelmed. Even the spirit had been destroyed. Things were looking very down for the Angels. But Ares was ignorant to all of this. In his own little world, a rapid tempo played out, and a red sc...

There was a momentary pause in the ricocheting of bullets against the wall and window frame. Splinters of exploded stone and wood lay strewn all over the ground. There was a thick smell of gunsmoke filling his nostrils. Once more, the song had to be sung, the dance had to be danced. With so many tar...

Ares wondered how much of his hair had been burned away by the sudden flush of fire-in-a-bottle. Chunks of wood and stone from the library windowframe and interior exploded and sent shards all over the place, including his face. He was grateful for the shades which shielded his eyes from the dusty o...

They're not smartshades. Even if they were, it would only function on one gun, not both (according to SR3, you can't use smartlink with two weapons.) Yeah, but since that's the most stupid rule we've ever heard, we usually ignore it. Oh okay. I wasn't aware of that. Maybe I'll pick up some smartgog...

Paul: Two bursts from each gun, aimed at the nearest random targets, on every action Ares has, until he needs to reload or he gets gunned down or Sticks kicks some sense into him.

He's not looking for the most menacing, he's looking for the highest body count. Resolve how you wish.

Damned one way or the other. The library was fortified. The sound of a hundred motorcycles idling and revving just to the north filled the neighborhood. Ares stood on the second floor, peering through some cracks in the wood where a window once was at all those who had gathered here. They gathered f...

It's safe to assume that even though he didn't hear anything for certain, he tricked his mind into believing he did and was pointing his guns in that direction.

Now he's moving furniture, anyway.

Two guns were pointed in a direction down the street where he thought he heard the roar coming from most strongly. Two fingers were ready to pull hair triggers. ...

It was a hot day. As if the planes had been turned on their ear, and the skies now held the fires of hell. Suitable, perhaps, for the name of the place. No birds called out, and the air was still.

5'11" and 140 lbs. I bicycle regularly and don't eat enough because I don't have anyone to cook for me, and I hate going out to eat alone. So I usually just have lunch at work, and order pizza on weekends.

When I get really hungry, I feast on the brains of drifters who pass by my house.
