“Who are you?”

The figure in an astronaut suit taps the wide brim of the pointed hat on their helmet. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m the Great Space Wizard!”

“Who are you, really?”

They open their mirrored visor, revealing an empty helmet. “Nobody. Everybody. All at once.”

The best assassin does their job, and none ever realize. That doesn't often make for the most dramatic plot without a lot of author work, so most fictional assassins are woefully bad at their profession. ;-)

“So, this assassin robot, are we talking something like the Terminator?”

The agent almost guffaws, then holds up vial containing a fly-sized drone. “Whisper quiet. Painlessly injects self-replicating nanites that cause something inconspicuous, like an aneurysm.”

Two pieces of art I made for a D&D campaign I was to be a part of, but it ultimately failed to launch. These were made to decorate VTT character tokens. First is the human warlock, Lisyldor:

“That domino mask won’t fool anyone.”

“Its magic clouds perceptions.”

“Fine, but why wear a red cape too?”

“Indestructible, sentient fabric that grants flight is very handy,” he says as the cape twists and lifts a silken pseudo-fist. “And she has a great right hook!”

“You sure?” Andi asked, holding GBX’s AI box. “It’s a big change from being a construction bot!”

“Yes. Install me into a child model.”

She walked into the body shop. “Well, they have lots of androids.”

“Gynoids, please.”

“A girl, GBX?”

“You’re my role model.”

They circled the Pharaoh’s daughter and the boy protecting her. His skill with the vibro-khopesh sword keeping the men at bay, she threw her royal Wadjet amulet at them.

It unfurled into a robot cobra as assassins screamed and children ran for the Chariot shuttlecraft.
