The Apologetic Assassin

 '''Kindly note: The following page contains many spoilers, especially for GGaD plots. Discretion is advised.'''

    

"'No one...would ever know...why I'm doing all of this.'"

Voice & Speech
One word can loosely sum up the A.A.'s voice: "Scary".

As they prefer silence, the Apologetic Assassin only talks when needed, but that doesn't mean they don't talk unless initiated to. Perhaps the more accurate way to put it would be that they only talk when they feel as if it is necessary and thus initiate themselves to do so.

However, despite never talking extensively (one will never find the A.A. going into rants), the A.A. does not talk extremely quietly by default. While they do so for efficiency purposes (such as for stealth), they do talk loudly enough to be able to be heard. In a sort of way, this also helps give them a sort of authority by adding on a sort of feel that makes someone want to follow the commands given by the A.A. Of course, it's not a strong compulsion.

The A.A. does not like to talk about themselves and typically avoids "I"/"me" pronouns in their speech even if the subject doesn't revolve around information about them. They sometimes choose to neglect subjects in sentences in general, though they only do so if the sentence itself would still make sense. Even through discontinued sentences, their intent is still made fairly obvious.

In general, they talk concisely. They sometimes even choose to not answer questions clearly when they don't see the need to do so or see it as being a waste of time/effort. Even their specifications are usually to the point and 'weird'.

The A.A.'s voice does not give any impressions of belonging to any particular gender and in that sense could be said to be fairly androgynous.

Other

 * The Apologetic Assassin is somewhat based on how the narrator imagines their older sibling's persona would have been had their older sibling lived to see the world.


 * It has been said that it can be assumed the A.A. can pull out weapons from anywhere.


 * Unlike the Mamba, there is no set count of weapons the A.A. may carry on them.


 * They are meant to represent someone indistinguishable yet of vast importance. This importance may not be known except for by themselves and those close to them.


 * Outside of their GGaD form, the A.A. likely has something that tests their sanity immensely--possibly their sowrd.


 * The A.A. does not choose to kill innocents.


 * The A.A. has to give the Mamba a literal daily curfew, as said in April 30th, 2020.


 * They have a photographic memory.

Appearance
Often seen as a living shadow, mortals and other normal beings will not be able to see more than a silhouette at the most, and even then, their figure will slowly disappear from the mind, until there is only a faint impression that perhaps someone had once been in their place. Their form is capable of countering even the Fallen Angel's, Hitan's, technique, the Angel Eye, which is the highest result of his angelic soul's manifestation, to the point where he can only discern certain features of focus even with his ingenious mind and calculating abilities. To others, they are completely invisible, and even the most powerful supernatural beings need to have an assortment of specific powers in even just an attempt to counter this trick of theirs, such as Mind Influence Resistance/Negation, Illusion Resistance/Negation, (very) Enhanced Vision, et cetera, et cetera.

If they were visible, they would retain a fit and lean build but nonetheless could be considered incredibly scrawny, especially when compared to adults. They are also considerably short--about 5' 9' '.

Outfit Preference
Once visible, the A.A.'s outfit may be seen as an assassin-oriented outfit with an obsidian catamount mask hanging from their belt, remaining unworn, with no gold imprints. The actual mask on their face is separated into the bottom and top half, relatively equal in size and split around the proximity of the nose and the areas around it, though not horizontally, with a relatively thin silver lining of some material. Their eyes are covered by two dark crimson, polished orbs on the upper part of their mask, where the eyes (obviously) would be positioned.

Their hair and features are obscured, by their hood and mask, which has a noticeable lack of angular shape. Their outfit is often smudged in appearance, and often appearing as within a dark color scheme, and obscures any weapons they are carrying, but are also clinging to their physique.

Vocations & Avocations
The Apologetic Assassin works as a hired assassin/freelance assassin, known for requesting stranger means for compensation instead of monetary means. Those who hire them without meeting their standards often die after the mission is completed by them. The A.A. is also known for never killing anyone who wasn't specified as a target and thus demanding extremely detailed (and concise) missions. They do not take mission papers and they do not make mission reports after the job is finished. They also do not report back to the mission giver after the mission is complete and receive their compensation in advance. They are known through different code names by those who temporarily employ them and are never referred to through one name, making tracking them extremely difficult.

Affiliations

 * The Black Mamba
 * The other is almost as if a younger brother figure, though in some ways their relationship is more distant, and in some ways more similar. One thing is for sure: The A.A. serves as the other's guardian figure at the very least and they are usually seen together, and somehow, the A.A. has kept the other alive and has never left him, in fact acting somehow like a positive influence on the other, even like an absent caretaker. While they're not necessarily close, their relationship is also far from formal and the two do genuinely care for each other in their own ways--from the A.A.'s end, not because of duty but because they truly see him as someone they want to protect. Their interactions often are more verbally profound than most other relationships the A.A. is involved with.
 * In truth, the two are physically around the same age and they started off as enemies, the Mamba being the disciple of the target the A.A. was assigned to dispatch. The boy started off as being an opponent worthy of recognition, even if an obstacle to eliminate, but the A.A. could not put their mind to kill the other due to the sheer resemblance the Mamba held with Galaxian. They ended up saving the Mamba from certain death and taking him into their care.


 * Galaxian
 * Their younger brother figure, though the other no longer recalls their role to him.


 * Amour & Avid


 * Chnoasmos


 * Syd


 * The First Third

Powers/Abilities

 * Superhuman Characteristics: The A.A. easily seems to harbor enhanced speed, strength, agility, stamina, and such, far beyond the average human or even average highly trained assassin.
 * Teleportation
 * Telekinesis
