       RIFTS Earth WIP: Gerald Adkins

       "Honor isn’t the steel on my arm or the glow in my blade—it's
       the promise I make every dawn to stand between the helpless and
       whatever darkness claws at their door. A hero isn’t born in
       Camelot’s halls; he’s forged out here, in dust and danger, where
       people need hope more than legends. And if I can give them
       that—well—then I suppose the Round Table can excuse me for being
       late to supper again."
       ~ Gerald Adkins
       "I didn’t leave Camelot because I lost faith in honor—I left
       because I saw too many men in fine cloaks speaking of virtue
       while stepping on the very people they swore to protect.
       Merlyn’s court shines bright, aye, but brightness casts long
       shadows, and I grew tired of watching good folk disappear into
       them. Out here, among farmers, travelers, and the forgotten, the
       air’s clearer and the truth simpler: a knight’s duty is to lift
       people up, not rule from above. So I traded marble halls for
       muddy roads—and I’ve never breathed easier."
       ~ Gerald Adkins
       "I’ve robbed caravans, fought juicers, even gone blade-to-blade
       with a crazed vampire thrall once—but nothing prepared me for
       that Cyber-Knight. Gerald didn’t move like a man; he moved like
       a thought—there one heartbeat, behind me the next. His sword
       didn’t even touch me until he meant it to, and when it did, it
       was just enough to say ‘stop’ without taking my arm off. Then
       things started flying—my gun, my knife, my courage—snatched
       clean away by powers I couldn’t see.
       When it was over, he didn’t gloat. He just looked at me with
       this calm, steady disappointment, like a father catching a kid
       stealing bread. And I’ll tell you this: surviving that fight
       wasn’t luck—it was mercy. His mercy. And that’s exactly what
       scared me."
