Ddaniels30204 for The Gruff Mercenary
[Character Rundown]
This is an older sounding chap. He served his country for far too long. Lost a lot of good friends and said goodbye to more than a few enemies.
He was ruthless, determined and absolutely the best at what he did in his prime.
Now, he works as a hired gun.
But he's getting old. Things he never used to catch he now sees.
It bothers him, constantly doing the dirty work.
In his latest mission he and his colleagues were sent to assassinate the princess of some foreign country to stabilise the political situation.
What none of them were told; the princess was only 14.
[Direction] Fit of blinding rage after the group starts contemplating the $400,000 hit and actually going through with killing the 14 year old princess.
[Line]
"No you most certainly WILL FUCKING NOT!"
(he pauses to let his outburst sit with the group, then continues)
"She's a little girl! We killing kids now? What kind of insanity do you think we just stumbled into? What kind of sick fuck orders US, of all people, to even do this?!"
(The group look awkwardly at each other in silence)
(He yells at them for a response)
"HUH?!?!?"
(2 beats)
(Calmed down.)
"Yeah. That's what I thought..."
(Commanding)
"Pack your shit we're out of here - and don't give me any excuses. We'll take the girl with us."[Direction] You've just killed 8 people with nothing but a knife and a few boobytraps. The princess watched in horror at the violence and is scared of you. You try to calm her so you can move on. Things have already been rough... All of your team are dead. But in the time you and your team have been protecting the princess, all of you grew closer together. The girl is like a daughter to you after 3 months on the run.
[Line]
(Reassuring, like your speaking to a little kid)
"Hey, hey, hey. Hold on... Shhh Shh Shh... I know, I know."
(She backs off)
"Wait... don't be scared. It's gonna be all right... Those men I killed... *sigh*"
(She looks away)
"Look at me, it's alright. They would've killed us if given the chance. We had to survive. We're survivors!"
(Getting emotional as the girl starts to cry.)
"Hey look... I had to.. I. I won't watch anyone else I care about die.
