TK Dribbles - 30 Drabble List
Welcome to TK Dribbles - a 30 Drabble List. :D I'm kind of a chicken. The 100 lists kind of intimidate me. xD Anyways, for this one, I will be using characters from Destiny's Mirage, a story Bani and I have been working on for the past...seven years? I'll be using characters that aren't as developed to play with ideas on what to do with them. These aren't bound to be the final versions of them since I'm just "being creative." ^^; |

The Characters The Russian Li family Charoi (origin: charoite) - father Age: Appearance: Tall; graying black hair; deep violet eyes Background: As a distant relative to Lapis Li, he kept as much contact as possible with the wealthy businessman with hopes of rejuvenating his family's participation power. In reality, he allowed his children to become pawns. After his wife's death, he became paranoid at the idea that the Communist Party had laid out a conspiracy against him. He took his sons far into the remote areas to train them to assassinate key Communist members. Even at his death, he believed the Communist Party still ran his beloved Russia. Personality: He is passionately patriotic to the motherland and made sure his sons were too. He has a strong desire for keeping the family ties to all of the other members of the Li clan, but ended up becoming manipulated by Lapis Li. He's kind to his sons, but doesn't let his love for them get in the way of the need to discipline them. Syeni (origin: syenite) - mother Age: Appearance: Background: Personality: ?? (crap, can't remember what I named him!) - eldest brother Age: Appearance: Background: Personality: Tsavori (origin: tsavorite) - second brother Appearance: Tallest; short, spikey black hair; dark violet eyes Background: Despite being the second oldest, he has more of a knack for leadership. With the exception of those told by his father, he has little interest in taking orders and will resist if he has to. Personality: He's very cocky and flirtatious. He's definitely a tease and aggressive when he sees something he likes. Even during serious times, he's got a joking grin or a seducing smirk on. Darin - Dravi's twin Appearance: Tall; short, wavy black hair; dark violet eyes Background: Unlike his brothers, Darin has poor vision to anything near him. He is far sighted and it took their father a long time to recognize this. He was often picked on or chastised for his inability to hit targets close to them. Once his sight issue was discovered, he became a sharp sniper. Personality: He is often a loner. While his brothers are off making close contact attacks, he's high in the rooftops or positioned to knock out other snipers. As a child, he had an imaginary friend to "take care of" his lonesome issues. Dravi - Darin's twin Appearance: Tall; short, wavy black hair; dark violet eyes Background: As the youngest twin and the youngest child for the longest time, he took great pleasure in Darin's far-sighted issue. He practiced and trained hard to manipulate his blades techniques, allowing anything with an edge to become his weapon of choice. He ended up with some attention until Darin proved useful at conquering a position none of the others fared well in. Personality: He's pretty one track minded. He can come off as exceedingly cold and flat out mean. Siberi - youngest Appearance: Short, short black hair, dark violet eyes Background: The last child born to their mother; she died giving birth to him. Thinking this was a conspiracy act, their paranoid father believes the government is to thank for the loss of his wife. Personality: As the baby of the family, he's somewhat spoiled. If he wants something, he will get it. His older brothers pity him since he never played with children his own age. He's pretty reserved and is often found playing hand-held video games to occupy himself. |
Reserved just in case. |
01. Memories
Darin missed his father. Despite the marks laid across his arms for failure to hit simple targets in the shooting range, he had no ill qualms against the man. As he gazed lazily at the scene below with his three brothers scrambling after their latest hit, he reminisced the cold, lonely environment of Russia with Alexei, his imaginary friend. The training was brutally hard. The ice was unforgiving and brutal against their young flesh. Yet the warmth and love that embodied their mother’s cooking seemed to melt away all the pain. If only he wasn’t daydreaming about days long past... |
02. Sorrow
Today was not the best of days. For weeks it plagued the brothers into acting more dismally to recognize it. Tsavori, the most comical and light-hearted of the group, became quieter and lost his signature playful and flirtatious smirk. Dravi was far more irritable. Darin found himself thinking of nothing. Siberi died often in his video games. They were all affected by a cold blooded murder right before their young eyes years ago that would forever inspire hate toward Lapis Li, one of the most powerful men in the corporate world. None of them would cry. Real men don’t cry. |
03. Gunshot A resounding single gunshot sang in the air. Silence followed. While it was a common thing for assassins to hear, Darin grew emotional. Covering his face, he wept. Alexei would be of no use to him for his imagination waned and memories of his eldest brother washed over his conscious thought. It had only taken a single shot to kill him. Yet the cartridge was emptied before Lapis Li was done with him. For the first time, he questioned what they did. They were stripping people from the lives of others. How would life be different if they didn’t die? |
04. Dying The hit came out, stumbling and grasping over his wound. The blood was prominent in the white backdrop of snow. Fresh splatters stained the once pristine cold carpet as he moved. Through tear-filled eyes Darin questioned what had happened. His brothers hated to leave people suffering and ended their lives with a single bullet. Because of this, they kept only one in the gun designated to take out their target. The man dropped to his knees, crying out for help. His servants were absent, taken out by the Russians. Sympathetic, Darin brushed his tears and aimed his gun. One shot. |
05. Family The Russian Li’s were largely a family of males. It was, however, run by the mother. She was loving, warm, and the head of the household’s only weakness. While he could – and would – flare tempers on his sons, if she ever spoke up, he would accept it with no arguments or attitude. The children were composed of four boys. As much as she wanted just one girl, she accepted what she had. Four, beautiful, strapping young boys of good health. She was bearing another and silently prayed repeatedly for a girl as a hand rolled over her round, growing stomach. |
06. Father I'll finish later. xD |
