LISTEN UP!
[The barking order and picture come through simultaneously, revealing (to some of you) a familiar face. However for those that do know him there are a few things different. Namely his cropped hair and rat tail have been replaced by a full mane of blue hair, tied back into a loose ponytail. Not to mention his usual blue body suit has been changed out for a set of light and functional armor.
And per usual, the feed is coming from an elevated position. Namely a shot of "Lancer" standing, arms crossed, on the ledge of what is most certainly a skyscraper with a gorgeous view of Heropa.]
I've got a lot to say and I'm only saying it once.
First off, there is a strange concept in this day and age that heroes should act from behind a mask. Well, its not that I'm incapable of understanding why people would choose to live like that.[He smiles, planting his hands on his hips.] I just think its ridiculous.
No one should have to fear retaliation for acting with honor and living in the service of others. And to prove that I'll remove a "mask" of my own. Those that know me do so by the name "Lancer". But that is only a mask forced upon me by a life that is no longer mine to bear. It was given to protect my identity from those that saught to end my life. Though designed to protect me it served more as a chain to bind my fate.
[And with that he slams his gauntleted fist against his breast with an impact so loud it could be mistaken for a hammer blow.]
I hereby declare myself by my true name. I am Cu Chulainn! (Coo-hull-en) Son of King Lugh of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and First Knight of the Red Branch of Ulster. Know me. And know that I stand before you born anew. The lives I have lived before coming here are no longer of consequence. I shall not be bound to the fates or the rule of another without my consent.
As such, I declare all past slights against me, all rivalries and enemies hereby pardoned. I, who has conquered death itself, name myself as a true ally of the ImPorts of this world. I would have you know me as brother and know that my spear is yours if you should desire it.
Speak if you have a need and know that in this dark time, I shall be looking out for you.

I'm sure I'm being insulted. I just can't seem to figure out how.
Are you saying Knights lack confidence?
no subject
I don't think it's an inherent quality to the class, only that it's been true of many examples I've known. Bit of confirmation bias, probably.
no subject
[He puffs out his chest a bit.]
If those are the knights you've known, they must not have been of very good caliber. And I'm ashamed such have besmirched the title for you as such.
[He pulls himself up to his full height.]
That settles it. I shall make it my quest to prove to you the mettle of a true knight.
no subject
[ all the same, she waves it off. ] But that's neither here nor there. I don't think there was anything lacking in the caliber of my Knights. They're fine people, as are you, but they're much younger and have more growing into the role to be done. I don't think any proof will be necessary.
