From a distance, they capture our awe. Endowed with beauty, power, and intelligence.
They briefly flicker before us, in all their majesty, exhibiting feats
that make us dream of joining their ranks. You watch them as they fight,
as they win, and as they despair. Your heart helplessly moves for them. They
have become your idols, your objects of praise. And you will defend their
names.
But have you ever wondered what lies behind the those incredible personas?
Have you ever wondered what cost, what sacrifice was paid to attain such
dizzying heights? A fighter is a ready killer. An assassin is a despised
wretch. Both still have to scrape for their food, both can fall ill, and
both have their inherent human weaknesses.
Guilty Gear Assassins is an attempt to explore how these characters
interact with each other, forcing them into situations where they have to
defend themselves, not by sword, but by tongue. Their are no glorious
victories here. Swords cut wounds, and wounds bleed. Bleed enough and you
will die.
A confrontation is something
to be avoided, not glorified...
