Ok, so I know this doesn't really look like me, but I have to look respectable sometimes....you know, for my job. It doesn't do to waltz right into your target's house looking like your going to chop someone's head off. If you haven't picked it up by now, I'm an assassin, and disguise is the name of the game. Believe me, I prefer the leather and tattoos, but they are rarely appropriate (for context go see 'Khory-Assassin').

So, a change of clothes, a little makeup overtop the tattoos, a handy cloak to hide the fact I'm carrying sias (those pointy, dangerous things I'm holding), and I'm set to go. Sometimes it's fun to mingle in the upper echelons of society, just to see how stupid they are. There are times when I honestly have trouble not laughing at some of the things they say and do. And then there is all the simpering and flattery that comes with a high office. It disgusts me.

Those Lords, they don't have respect. They are surrounded by slobbering, power hungry fools. Wouldn't it be much better to earn respect through your actions and abilities, like me, than have the illusion of respect through great possessions? Well, they never ask my opinion, and the only time I give it is right before I stab them in the heart.

***This is a picture of me, taken by my sis. for me (with my permission of course ;)>) I made the costume***
