The War Hounds.

❝JOSHUA LARUE❞ Sin-Eater (Blade Lead) "Initially seems like the sort that would be a bad fit with the Vigil... how does Selene put it? A 'dark horse'? Yes, that's the term. Appears to be nice enough: he certainly has the charisma (read: has one [1] significant other and at least three [3] friends within the Malice Kings and one [1] friend within the Searing Wind, Lia and Kalika actually seem to like him, Tohru has not blown his brains out for dating his son, Mica did not have a single bad thing to say, Drake remembered his name, and Gabriel called him "a friend"), the good sense (he's only died once; spent Post Hour doing proper social rounds), and the drive (three licenses in less than six [6] months?!). Wishing him all the luck with the Blade King."	❝YULIA BOSTOVA❞ Bladian (Second) "Saxon and Breton's first student (she appears to have emerged from that rather admirably unscathed) and Cisco's current protege (Cisco rather likes her, last I checked), and apparently another 'special case' sort of Bladian (recall: Liana and Wreck, Lars and Tsubaki). Top 2% back in the day (Jotunheim; yes, that place), therefore missed the cut for her actual goal: Zangyaku. That must have sucked up until she actually made it to Zangyaku... that reminds me. Heard an interesting rumor about how she broke in so early. Something about a deal with Hikaru? Wouldn't be too surprised if it was true. ~~Back to saving lives and giving second chances, is he? Well and good.~~"

❝ESTANISLAO MARISIGAN III❞ Mage (Third) "A man possessed of admirable initiative that not nearly enough people give him credit for. Barely anyone realizes how the actual desire to do something as tedious and thoroughly boring as patrol or as thankless and morbid as Mortician duties belies a certain grit (press Billy on him more: that Billy even talked about him is telling). There is, as well, that matter about his sister."	❝BRIGADE❞ Promethean "This one's 'cool story, bro' moment is actually pretty cool. Apparently, he is a Promethean whom Saitou Oyama met just once back in WWII. They never did get to meet as promised, but the Blade King moved heaven and earth with the Vigil network to keep him safe even after the plan fell through. Funny, though: that didn't seem to stop the chap from being a total asshole to Hikaru's face. They do appear to have risen above that, though. Like. Far, far above that. (Read: Brigade has Gintoki. Kalika changed his nickname.)"

❝BRIANNA LOPEZ❞ Changeling "Was ready to backpedal far, far away from this one the moment I learned that she was Tala Vega's 'bestie', but she is also Selene's 'bestie', so I suppose she cannot be all that bad. Liandrin has also spoken of her highly over tea, once or twice. Shame she's going off to Arcadia. Were those Hikaru's orders, or was it a decision she made all on her own?"	❝KARLO ANTONIO ZOBEL DE AYALA❞ Card "This boy is a walking study in 'living in interesting times'. In a span of six months, he was chosen by the Wings of Therion, moved into Balamb, got involved with the Blade King, let the Wings go, learned the Wings wanted to come back to him, took them in, died, drew his Second Breath as a Card, discovered he has a video game character for a Persona, and proposed to his long-time Japanese boyfriend. Riddle me this: why are Fools fools without trying to be fools?"
