The Hunter
Jan. 14th, 2019 08:50 amThe Hunter has gone by that moniker for so long that he has no idea what his original name was. Even if he had one given to him when he arrived in Purgatory, he would have rejected it in favor of one that actually has meaning.
He first came on the radar of heaven and hell when he went after and killed a group calling themselves The Defenders of the Divine. They had promised to a group of Peregrines that they would protect them from outside influence and allow them to live their afterlives in a sort of peace. However, as things are wont to do, it all went wrong when it was found out that the leader of the Defenders was actually a Sithen who had Fallen because of his love of a demon. Once that was out, the Peregrine camp was under attack, and many of those who had lived there were slaughtered, including those who Hunter considered as close to family as he'd ever had in this eternal non-existence. That was the last straw for him, and he found the leader's broken sword, and took it to the entire group. He was deeply hurt from the sword's backlash, but, well, there was plenty to drink around. He still bears a scar under his knee and one on his face from the battle. From there, he made it his personal mission to find and obliterate all who break the Peregrines' trust. Soon, he made a deal with the Prince of Gold for accessories to make sure he did not take any more damage from the sword Broken Faith that he claimed after the battle.
It was a while later that the Name was used, and all of the Peregrines became solid. Hunter was pleased.... for about a minute before he realized that it didn't actually do a damned thing. Sure, they don't have to drink ichor anymore, and they can use their sins and virtues for actually collecting wealth, but that doesn't exactly help. People still look down on them, many, if not most of them are still enslaved or indentured, or in servitude. Even more frustratingly, no one seemed to give a damn. Everything was just Business As Usual, so when he heard that there was a space opening up in the Market for a Peregrine, he decided that would be a good use of his efforts, to keep those who decide to live in the market or attend the market free from manipulation and misuse by everyone else.
He'll do anything to raise the status of one of his fellows, and believes passionately that no one is better or worse than any other. Everyone is subject to the same sins or virtues, and thus, it's what people choose to do to others and to themselves that really matters, not some trick of fate that happened long ago before anyone can even remember it. His mission, which he wears on his sleeve for any to see is to eke out a home for the Peregrines, to show everyone on all sides of the Eternal Conflict that they're now here to stay and aren't lesser beings because of their history.
If you catch him in a rare down moment, he is a kind individual, always ready for a chat or to share some kind of meal with his people. He'll speak to anyone, true to his belief in Equality For All, but as soon as someone shows any kind of ill will toward his fellows, they will be tossed out of any space under his control. He regularly gives his Orb to other Peregrines, somewhat to see what they'd do with the power, somewhat to give his approval to a specific idea. He's very firm, though, that the Orb only be held by a Peregrine. Perhaps something in the future would change his mind on that, but for now, he's sticking to it. The other factions have their seats, have their power and authority. This is their one little voice, and he is determined to make it come from the correct mind.
His tent is to the rear of the area allotted to the Peregrine Princedom. Across the rest of the area are other tents, set up for anyone passing through who needs a place to stay, however temporarily. Mostly they are Peregrines, but he could be convinced to give a passing Immortali a place for the right price or promise. His tent has a pale-grey flag flying over it, symbolic of the bodies of the Peregrines. Inside, there's a bed, some paper and writing utensils, and a few knickknacks he's picked up here and there. The only powerful thing anywhere around is his sword.

Christmas in Emp - 2017
Dec. 17th, 2017 07:40 pmWhen the Casa de Lions wakes up on Christmas morning, they will find, arranged almost lovingly under the tree, eight walkie-talkies, as well as a larger box receiver that has been placed on a table in the living room.
Each walkie-talkie is personalized to its intended recipient: Black with hints of orange for Shiro, purple and blue with hints of red and orange for Keith, yellow with a hint of orange for Hunk, pink and blue for Allura, orange and blue for Coran, and grey and blue with a hint of orange for himself. At the end of the line, standing almost hopefully are two more: one in blue with some orange, and one in green with some orange, and an odd line of text around the bottom that is probably unintelligable to anyone not a Holt.
In front of the group is a paper, carefully written:
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I thought that if I'm spending most of my time working on communications, I should beef ours up as well. Everyone has a walkie now. They're encrypted so that no matter what, no one'll get in. They're locked down hard. On the back is a dial, with each name on it, so you can find that person's channel if you need them. There's also a receiver in the living room in case anyone needs to call here.
Also, I have about five spares (not including the ones I personalized), in case there are people who you think should have one, but I didn't include. Let me know, and I can twiddle the channels to include them. Any bugs, let me know.

OTHER CHARACTERS PLAYED: Naoto Shirogane, Helena Wells
C H A R A C T E R;
NAME: Matthew Neil Holt
CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender
POINT IN CANON: Between Shiro's debut in the Arena and when he was busted out by unknown rebels. Much closer to the latter than the former.
AGE: 21
APPEARANCE: Matt is skinny, at his canon point, almost painfully so, with shaggy reddish-brown hair and brown eyes.
CANON HISTORY: Matt at the Voltron Wiki
Matt was at the Garrison with Shiro for a few years, becoming close as classmates and friends. Sam specifically chose both Matt and Shiro for the mission to Kerberos, due to his trust in them and belief in their abilities.
Since his abduction, Matt has been kept in captivity by the Galra empire for a number of months now, at first in a work camp, and then in a cell sometimes with others, sometimes alone. His habit of giving sarcastic, snippy remarks has earned him more than a few beatings, which has left his back and his mind quite scarred.
CANON PERSONALITY: Matthew Holt is, above all, a dork. He's a space-loving scientist, one who wants above all to discover things. Much of his study at the Garrison when he was there was in the realm of science, with a side of anthropology. He wants to bring knowledge to the world, and gets excited over the smallest things, such as possible microorganisms in ice. While in space, on a discovery mission, he rambles about how excited he is, and how fascinating he finds something as simple as the ice sample he is extracting. He is also a bit of a dreamer, wishing and hoping that he could be one of the first, if not the first to discover other life in the universe and tell Earth about it.
He also has a deeply sarcastic streak, making jokes with his family about freeze dried peas and teasing his sister. He can be excitable, rambling about things he finds interesting, until he almost forgets to breathe. Growing up in a military family with his father a teacher at the Garrison, he learned how to do things carefully and precisely, but also how to subvert the rules and find ways around everything. He understands authority, but thinks there are more important things in the world, like understanding the way the world works, and caring for others.
He is also an extremely devoted and loyal person, wanting to do anything and everything he can to protect his family. When he thought he was about to die in the Galra gladiator arena, all he could think about was how he wouldn't be able to see his family again. He cares about the people around him, wanting to protect them, but realizing that he doesn't have the skills to do so at the moment. In addition, he is a survivor, bound and determined to keep going and live no matter what. He'll do anything to find a way through any difficult situation and come out the other side.
His time in prison has taken a toll on him, and he's slightly weaker, much more anxious, and prone to PTSD flashbacks and nightmares but when given the chance to bloom and relax, he will heal quickly.
POINT OF DEPARTURE: N/A
VETERAN?: No.
ABILITIES: Matt is a brilliant scientist with knowledge of anthropology and cultures. Basically, he's a Normal Human from shit circumstances. Yay?
INVENTORY: Slave rags. He literally just has the clothes on his back.Boy doesn't even have his glasses.
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW? Matt Holt needs hugs. Many.
M A R K S;
JUSTIFICATION:
1. Moon: Celestial bodies are very prominent in Matt's life, due to his love of space. However, Moon in particular is quite indicative of his current state. He's in flux, he doesn't know what the future is going to be, he's afraid of both his current situation and his future, but on the flip side, he's always been a dreamer, wanting to go to space, and discover things.
2. Death: Matt's life has always been about change and growth, especially in the past few months. He understands the concept of progress and development and its importance, both in people's lives and in culture.
3. Fool: At his core, Matt is a wide-eyed dreamer and scientist. He is easily excited, enthusiastic, and curious about the world around him.
4. Empress: This boy needs a mom. In all seriousness, however, Matt's life is full of female power, and his family is the most important part of his life and always will be.
5. Strength: As multiple people say about him in canon, Matt is a survivor. He has been through quite a few things, and while he's a bit cracked, nothing has completely broken his spirit.
6. Priestess Matt is all about finding and revealing mysteries. He is a searcher, looking for the mysterious, and in the words of the X-Files, he wants to believe.
VETO: Sun. Obvious reasons.
