Lives on the Edge

Translation Codex

Some people take more risks than others, foregoing safety for excitement. For some reason these risk attracted adrenaline hounds find themselves involved in the battle for the Strange. Nothing could be less surprising really. These fools take their lives into their hands getting involved in our wars for reality, but who can stop them? I certainly won’t. Better to employ them against my enemies.

Willing to risk everything for a cheap thrill, I've seen them do things I never thought possible, because only a fool would even try. Even in their styles of fighting the risk takers make their pleasures known, preferring wild and powerful swings to precise and safe movements. Great risk, great reward sometimes, I suppose.
