{ Update on Hal! Featuring: Iron Companion Mask, Heliopause Grips, Heliopause Vest, Iron Companion Boots, and the Cloak of Oblivion! I'm so stoked to have finally got my hands on that fucking cloak. It's so sexy. ;~; }

The answer came quickly, as if there were no way for him to hold it back. The ease in which he heard it spill from his own face-plate almost worried him. And yet, it was a thought that was so often on his mind that there was no more barrier for it slam against when he was asked. “I abandoned a Titan in the field once. We had been surrounded, it was the first time I had been assigned to a partner on a bounty mission. I didn’t know what to do, what to say, or how to act. I knew I was going to die and I was worrying about myself. I found a way out of danger and just… kept going. I haven’t heard of or from that Titan since. I don’t know if he is even still alive.”

A sigh tweaked his voice box servos and his shoulders slumped in a hunch. “There was an Eliksni Captain that had a bounty on his head. I had spent days tracking him - he was skilled and elusive - and I was frustrated and tired.” He looked up, his optics dimmed, and he rolled his shoulders back with another sigh. “I had finally found where he was hiding. It was odd, though: since the bounty had been announced there had been no recorded or sighted activity from him. But I had accepted the bounty, so I continued my work. I bored a hole through his mask and skull with a single shot from my sniper rifle. I kept my eye through the scope, looking for heightened activity once any other Eliksni that were around caught on to the death. The activity I saw explained why he had gone silent and was so well hidden.” The Exo continued, his voice lower and his optics dimmed again. “Three small Dregs, not even clad in armor, without weapons, smaller than any Dreg I had ever seen, slunk towards the Captain’s body and just… huddled up against it.” Halifax took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. “Since then, I have never pursued a bounty target without extensive research. We may be fighting a war, but there’s no reason for us to destroy families that are just trying to survive.”

One thing that never fails to make Hal happy is cleaning his guns. Getting into every nook and cranny to dig out and clean off the muck and grime from the enemies he’s felled just makes him realize how much he is doing in the world. However, once they’re cleaned he’s once again bored and goes back out into the field to dirty them again. 

Hal doesn’t really… have any friends? He has acquaintances; a small handful of other Guardians that he trusts doing jobs alongside. He tends not to get close to others, not for lack of trying to gain friends but more so because it isn’t in his agenda. However, there are times when he feels like having one or two others that he could definitely go to during rough times would be good.

OoC|| Looking better and better. Finally got my hands on the Heliopause Grips and infused the hell out of them. Just need the Heliopause Boots and Heliopause Helmet. But I'm kind of digging the Skyburner's Annex.

Hal may be a grump but he likes celebrating. And he also likes tigers. The whole black and white thing is kind of his steeze.
