Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Grammaton

"Locked and stocked!"

The Grammaton is the assassin infantry of the Tenko Rebel Strike Force. Planned to be voiced by Billy Kametz

Tactical Analysis

 * Ordained and armed: The rebellions assassins, the Grammatons are extremely aggressive infantry. They blend in with their surroundings until the time comes to strike, leaping into battle with guns blazing
 * Heroic bloodshed: The array of pistols of these assassins wield can do massive damage at close range, and because of the careful training can be fired in any direction, even when the Grammaton is moving. And when the battle is at its intense these assassins will bite down on a special capsule, which will release a drug that makes them temporarily invincible to anti-infantry weapons while their fill the surrounding air with lead
 * I would die then live on my knees: When surrounded by enemies and mortally wounded, a Grammaton thinks nothing of pulling the big red cord on their vest and dragging everything within fifty feet straight to hell
 * Style over function: But in order to blend in with the masses they wear no armour, beside a spiffy coat to hide their vest and guns and a hat. This has detrimental effects on their lifespan, unless somebody can protect them

- Opening to the Grammaton Vow, spoken as a call-and-response

The battle of Nangsu. To those who know of the true event rather than the highly biased propaganda made by Ouroboros, also know it as the event that shows Axio Ouroboros true colors. To the point that Ouroboros used everything in their power to silence anything they can't manipulate to show them as heroes.

For the island refusing to bow to them, and losing their islands identity, lifestyle, and culture. The might of Ouroboros came onto them, with the intent to kill off the entire population and raze the island until it became impossible to know that the island was inhabited.

Thus came one of the largest battles Ouroboros ever fought, with the full might of Ourobors facing against the smaller island resistance. With countless accounts of its volunteers capturing countless civilians, turning them into the penitent legion for the crime of "refusing the law" even when they surrender and send them to fight against their loved ones, murdering those they can't capture, with the most infamous part of the battle being the first flight of the dreaded Konzetsu, which finally destroyed the resistance.

During this bloody war the Tenko came to aid, but they were too late. As at that point Ouroboros had controlled almost all of the island and its citizens were barely able to fight back. With the last parts of the war having the Tenkos evacuating the island citizens, art, and culture to ensure that its culture lives on. Ending with a pyrrhic victory for Ouroboros, as while they had completely razed the island to be a new city for Ouroboros citizens a sizeable populous of Nagsu managed to escape with many of their art, music, and culture. In essence, they failed to destroy Nangsu spirit. But that is a story for another time. For another known part of this war was that it was the birthplace of the Grammatons.

During the last leg of the war, as Tenko forces began to get citizens into their evacuation submarines as the Konzetsu flew over them. Many citizens, mainly adults and those who refuse to leave their home, chose to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Garbed in a longcoat, beneath it an array of pistols and a bomb vest, these brave men and women charged towards Ouroboros forces to buy the Tenko time to evacuate their friends, family, and culture with them. And when they fell they didn't hesitate to pull the cord, making sure they won't become a penitent slave and hoping to take a volunteer or two with them.

By the end, this small force of volunteers was wiped out. But with their sacrifice thousands, if not millions, of civilians of their island, and therefore their cultural identity, were able to escape, thus their island spirit lives on. And in honor of their sacrifice the Tenko created what is now known as the Grammatons, each soldier bearing pistols made by the smiths of Nangsu, and a bomb vest to make sure they won't get captured.
