[ Lucian lets out a wet, clumsy chuckle, his head rolling back against the brick. He stares at the phone with heavy, half-shut eyes, a bloody smirk on his lips. ] " A cab...? " [ He mumbles, his tongue thick and lazy as he rests his head heavily against the wall. ] " Don't waste your time, 'neighbourhood watch'. Drivers don't... like passengers covered in someone else's blood. " [ His fingers twitch against his thigh, completely lacking the coordination to reach for a hidden blade. He lets out a rough, tired sigh, his vision swimming. ] " Just let me sit until the street... stops spinning. If you're calling anyone, make it a cleanup crew. "

            *    he sighed   ,     his grip on his bat slightly loosening as he relaxed a little  .    nothing but a drunkard  .   maybe he got in a fistfight  ,   not uncommon   .    as for the   "    workplace    "    comment   ?    he    /   probably   /   didn't do anything dangerous for work     .   right    ?        *      listen   ,    man      .     i'm just trying to keep my neighbourhood safe and clean   ,     an   -   and you're sorta ruining the whole   /   vibe  /    down here   .    i can call you a cab   ,   or something   ,    if you need       *      the vigilante watched the stranger slide down the wall   ,      a sort of unimpressed sigh leaving him as he pulled out his phone     *

[ his head lolls to the side, a slow, completely unbothered smirk cutting through the heavy haze in his eyes as he tracks the tightening grip on the bat . he lets out a low, heavily slurred chuckle, the sound thick and vibrating in his chest as he takes another clumsy, swaying step forward. ] " workplace ... yeah . " [ he mumbles, the word rolling off his tongue thick and lazy as he points a loose, trembling finger toward his blood soaked shirt. his hand drops heavily, his vision blurring as he tilts his head back against the wall to keep from falling over completely. ] " don't look at me like that  ... you're blurry enough as it is . and put the ... the stick down . you'll give yourself a headache . " [ he breaths out a rough, half-conscious laugh, his eyelids drooping heavily as his shoulder slides a few inches down the wall. ] " if i wanted to hurt you ... i'd have done it before the alcohol hit ."

JISEOK was a clone   .   he never knew it   ,   but he was   .  
            LONG AGO  ,   there was a boy  .   only known as subject GA -0N   .    nothing more than a lab rat   ,     used to experiment the effects of interdimensional travel on the human body   .    GA-0N kept through it with his obsession with ducks   ,     carrying around a duck plush with him everywhere   .    
            the experiments couldn't last forever   .    the constant interdimensional meddling had broke him down  ,   his very dna   .   the boy died   ,    the experiment written off like it never happened     .
            A ROGUE SCIENTIST stole some of GA-0N's dna   ,     cloning the boy  ,   hoping to give him a chance at a normal life     .      THAT WAS THE BIRTH OF JISEOK  .   
            but eventually   ,    the interdimensional experimentation and that long lost boy's obsession with ducks affected jiseok's very being later in life in ways that was not expected    ,    or normal    .

JISEOK discovered his powers in high school   ,    and has been living this double life ever since   ,    trying to hide his identity from his friends   .    it had started when he found feathers sprouting in his hair   ,    just a coincidence    ,    strange   ,   but he forgot about it    .    then   ,    a papercut healed completely in front of his eyes when he went to wash his hands    .    
            then  ,     one day   ,   he sneezed   ,   and in an instant  ,   he teleported across the room   .   
            jiseok took years to hone his powers   ,    and struggled to keep it  a secret  .   he still has to pluck feathers from his hair constantly   ,    though most days it ends up looking like a bird's nest  .   
            HE HAS NO IDEA WHERE HIS POWERS CAME FROM  .

NIGHTRIFT has the power to manipulate dimensional portals   ,     as if his body was attuned to the fabric of reality itself    ,    letting himself blink distances in an instant  .    he has the ability to heal rapidly when in contact with water   ,    and has a pair of distinctive feathered wings on his back     .
