Ever since November 10, 1775, the US Marine Corps has had a legacy of having each other’s back—and never backing down, such as on the legendary battlefields like Guadalcanal, Chosin Reservoir, and Marjah in defense of their national interests.

And through necessary actions back home, enabling their own struggling communities to thrive once more—from then and now, every Marine is a United States Marine, fighting through every circumstance to continue the US advance.

And with this fucker around, you'll get there together—introducing the USMC's finest, Sergeant Caden Harley — a GWOT veteran with the skills and weapons to kick serious ass 😎

I suppose if someone threatened Lindir with a sword, I would... definitely respond with immediate violence.

I mean, contrary to what you might think, I am not entirely helpless.

In fact, I’ve had some training in... combat. Yes. *Sighs* I know, it may be surprising given my usual demeanor, but I wasn’t always meant to be a scribe! There was a time when I was, well, more... physical, I suppose. I’ve learned a few things about stealth, movement, and—well—how to protect those who need it.

In my youth—before the gentle art of writing claimed me—I trained in the ways of combat. Not many know this, but I can wield a blade with surprising skill. And I do know my way around weapons.

So, while I may not be the most imposing figure, rest assured, I would definitely fight back. And I don’t need to use any swords or blades to do it, either! I’ve been trained to use my surroundings to my advantage. Perhaps I would take a bit of a... creative approach, using the environment to trap them. If there was something valuable of theirs nearby, I might “borrow” it, you know, perhaps accidentally break something important that just so happens to block their path... or even use their belongings to distract them long enough for a quick and efficient exit—or counterattack, depending on the situation.

But! If all else fails, yes, I would fight. I would not hesitate to protect Lindir.
