You want to know more about me, huh?? Well, believe me when I say that my line of work is a little... unusual.? Ever since I was old enough to question morality I've been working to eradicate the real bad guys in the world, especially those that wear a false mask of purity.? I used to work alone, but a little over a year ago I began operating under the orders of a certain woman.

I have a complex relationship with my... well, I guess you could call her my boss.? I'd heard about a mad doctor performing strange medical procedures on innocent, helpless people, which of course led me to take action.? It was easy enough to find her estate, out in a secluded area of the woods, but still rather close to town.? A little bit of reconnoitering revealed that she didn't seem to have any internal security measures.? I figured it would be easy as pie to slip in, find the doctor, give her a little of the old chop-chop and then be on my way, to the benefit of the community.?

Well, I certainly didn't account for the doctor's little accomplice, who had apparently had her eyes on me since I'd first arrived, and ambushed me as I was making to enter the mansion.? I had heard crazy things about this place, but I wasn't at all prepared for the things this girl could do.? Think psycho ninja, but with cutting tools coming out of places they shoudn't be.? Anyways, I was bleeding pretty bad within the first two minutes of our little skirmish, but since the estate was in the middle of a wooded clearing, running back the way I had arrived would make it easy for her to take me down.? Instead, and though I knew it was a terrible idea, I ducked into the house itself, where I tried to find a place to lay low.

It was a big house, and seemed mostly empty.? Of course, the first room I ran into just so happened to be occupied.? And by none other than the doctor herself.? To my surprise, she was talking to a police officer.? Seems I had picked a rather bad time to take action.? Within seconds, the officer had her gun on me, and the girl from before was blocking my exit, blades at the ready.? The doctor was just standing there, a bemused look on her face, like she was only half-interested in my presence.? Well, the odds were obviously against me here, so I dropped my knives, put my hands in the air, and said, "all right, you got me.? I surrender."?

Ten minutes later, I was handcuffed and tied to a chair, with the officer's pistol still aimed at my head.? I didn't see why it needed to be so dramatic, or why I was still in the mansion, since she had already caught me.? I was assuming we were just waiting for the nearest patrol car until the doctor, whose name I had learned was Fran, began to argue with the officer, evidently about me.? "Why don't you leave him under my care for the time being, Officer Kuhou?? I could put him to beneficial use."? "No way in hell!? This man has killed dozens of people at the very least!? His reputation is so bad that newspapers have begun calling him the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper."? At this point, I interjected, "Officer, if you had actually investigated any of those deaths, you would have found that each and every one of my 'victims' did something to justify my actions."? The look in her eyes told me to be silent, and she was the one with combat advantage, so I obliged.

Anyways, Fran seemed to have this idea that I wasn't as bad as the Kuhou was making me out to be, and in the end, she comvinced the officer to look the other way in exchange for something about "continued confidentiality regarding the cloning experiment."? After Kuhou's departure and being released from my bonds, Fran immediately began to question me, though she had a nonhostile demeanor that surprised me.? "Why did you try to kill me?" she asked casually, which made me think that I probably wasn't the first one.? "Because of what you do to people," was my response, though I was beginning to question whether she was as bad as I had believed. ?

Well, as it turns out, she wasn't.? She proved to me that day, by showing me her work rooms and various patients whose lives she had saved, albeit in unorthodox ways.? I have to admit, her work still impresses and confounds me to this day, things I would have never dreamed to be medically possible are like child's play to her.? Anyways, she began to incorporate my help with her work, primarily by having me work with Veronica, the girl who attacked me earlier, and though we were suspicious of each other at first, I quickly took a liking to her and she began to accept me not long after.? In her words, she "learned that you're a killer, like me, but not a murderer."? In exchange for food and lodging, and for getting tips on individuals who deserve my knife, I help Fran and Veronica with anything they ask of me, usually along the line of combat-oriented objectives.? You'd be surprised how many enemies you can make by being a damn good doctor, and how persisent they can be; guard duty is frequently the busiest part of my life, to the extent that I'm surprised I was the only one trying to kill Fran that day.? I've made strong bonds with Fran and Veronica, not to mention some of the other... rather unusual inhabitants of the manor.? I'll be posting specific examples here later, this is simply an introduction to my life.? So, until next time, behave... or behead.
