What a child you are.
The sentence came to him each time he felt the slight pangs of singed nerve endings arch up his spine. Every wound, every cut, it never seemed to heal well. Least of all his tail.
He didn't understand why his fingers and pads were still as pink as a newborn. Why he scarred so easily. Why, even with years of training and experience, he still couldn't throw a punch without hurting himself a little.
He always thought of the day he took his tail. Of the strategic choice between his expression, or removing a weakspot.
It hurt. But he could push past pain.
Failure was another story.
Before Darkwitt was a Facilitator, he was an assassin. he learned how to fight, kill, and deflect incognito. Even though he's grown long past the days of his youth, He still has the reminders fresh on his mind.
To stay in control. To grow up.
Little angsty, but an aspect of Darkwitt I rarely get to share. It's hard to appear as a threat if people are abundantly familiar with your failures. But hiding your vulnerabilities has its price.

Those details look so good. It's real nice to see more of Darkwitt's life before becoming a facilitator, even if it's just scars of his past.
This always was part of the character, but I had seldom opportunity to discuss it.
I find it deeply ironic, considering how much I've grown to enjoy them.
I really like this piece, Darkwitt deserves a bit of angst, as a treat.
Question: Does Darkwitt get phantom senses from his tail? When he's happy can he feel it wag, even when it's not possible? Does his leg feel something wrap around it when he's upset?

the instincts to move his tail have long since faded, considering each time he's wagged his tail it was met with pain. As such his emotive range has been reduced over the years.
IRL my father used to be full of laughter, until his back injuries made it so any time he did a belly laugh it was extremely painful. so he eventually stopped. it was one of the saddest things he ever told me.

Poor strategy. Distinctive features don't get much more distinctive than missing body parts. He could be singled out amongst thousands.
Not necessarily. Measurement of tail could be considered as a distinctive feature just as much as a lack of one. People could surmise canine isn't even his species. he's also been seen projecting with a tail sometimes.
The strategy wasn't originally for hiding his identity, in close quarters combat, his tail was an easy grappling point and served only as a severe tactical weakness.

Always intriguing to see Darkwitt's past life. Let's hope nobody has an opportunity to use it against him.
Also: DANG, he's ripped! :O
