To accompany the above, I'll try to start us off with an example. For those who don't know me, I'm Haise Sasaki. I come from one of various iterations of Earth, in which humans deal with a predatory species known as ghouls. Unlike folklore from other worlds, ghouls look human enough, but differ in their biology. The organization to which I belong is the Commission of Counter-Ghoul, where I act as an investigator. My superior, Arima, is here as well.
[And also the one to whom he attributes the merciful act of sparing him]
Among our many guidelines is the expectation that we will exterminate ghouls. At the same time, we are to avoid causing unnecessary suffering. Those who know me will not be surprised that I prefer to take captives over lives, and the CCG has a tightly secured containment facility for this purpose. What may surprise others is that I have killed. Many times. In point of fact, I was awarded honors for the extermination of one hundred ghouls during a large-scale operation.
I'm accustomed to squads that number less than ten, which may be coordinated by a division responsible for monitoring battles during collective efforts. Although I served as mentor for the squad to which I have been assigned, I technically belong to another, under a superior. Rank is very prevalent, as is organization, so I've found my time here disorienting on occasion.
Personally, I've seen us divided on issues of taking and sparing lives from my earliest days in ALASTAIR about a year ago. It's important enough for us to have strong opinions about, and I don't think that's wrong. But I do want to find a way to work together and support one another, and better use our skills and abilities.
Among the skills I can use in service of the team are my experience as an investigator, hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship. In the case of the last, Arima exceeds me. My body heals swiftly and is impervious to normal bullets and blades, so I'm often on the front lines. By virtue of my time in ALASTAIR, I've been granted magic that allows me to heal wounds and repair broken objects, although I'm unsure where my limits are.
I don't believe there's any one way to talk about ourselves, but I hope this will be a start.
