TVC01 Vigilante/01

TKG01 Death Becomes Her/ He was very, very good at not losing his temper. He had in fact vowed never to lose his temper again. It was the only reason he allowed himself on-world anymore.

TVC01 Vigilante/20

Why a Ranger? Making sure injustice is stopped is kind of your thing. No, not that part. It wasn’t about Justice. . He had wanted to go off on his own. He would say that he was here because he knew there was still injustice to be rooted out. From what he had seen of the universe, there would always be injustice. There were always people who wanted to see what they could get away with. "It was the killing that felt good. I’m not entirely human anymore, and I don’t even know what “human nature” is. I’m a predator, Shinigami." You were a monk and you don’t know anything about human nature? What does being a monk have to do with it? I became a monk to learn to control myself and to be part of something larger. None of it was about glorifying myself, certainly not as I was then. And you think you’re going back to that now? He shook his head wearily and closed his eyes and let the anger sink back into the recesses of his mind. That was the trick to this: you could always get rid of anger if you wanted to. Often he did not want to. Anger slipped into his mind with a comforting familiarity. It whispered for him to break the rules because he worked for a greater good. And then when you weren’t looking, you crossed lines and found yourself with more blood on your hands than you could ever atone for.

Yes, Barnabas admitted after a moment. That’s what I’m afraid of. "Look, for what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s any danger, Shinigami, " told him finally. I think you’re worrying about nothing, the way humans do all the time. You became a monk, you made your choices, you’ve served Bethany Anne. You’ve chosen the way you want to live. You should put your trust in that. But if you can’t? Yes? If you start to go apeshit, I’ll call the Bitches and they will fuck you up.

TVC01 Vigilante/05

Why Barnabas serves Bethany Anne: “Because she doesn’t let things like definitions and laws keep her from doing the right thing. She makes use of them when it’s warranted and does the right thing when they would hinder her. I would never let a narrow definition of the word ‘Ranger’ preclude me from doing what I believe is the right thing to do. I wouldn’t then and I certainly won’t now, when I’m not even a Ranger anymore.”

TVC01 Vigilante/17

Armor in battle. (See Weapons, Armor, Barnabas

TVC02 Sentinel/02

He preferred to do things with paper rather than on computer screens. Something about writing and drawing cleared his mind, perhaps a legacy of his days spent among the painstakingly illuminated handwritten texts in the monastery. Barnabas believed that moral wrestling bouts were best done on one’s own. He would only step in if he were asked to do so or if he sensed a problem.

TVC03 Warden/03

Has adopted the habit of changing his hair color and style regularly, so "legends" don't accumulate about his appearance. Is, in this chapter, a red head. "Ginger" hair.

TVC03 Warden/15

In regards to Shinigami's failure to track the Yennai ship: He had learned over the years that failure was absolutely necessary for the long run. Only with the taste of defeat would people strive to push the limits of what they could do, and only by pushing those limits could they hope to triumph when the stakes were high.

TVC04 Paladin/02

In Shinigami's search for her avatar appearance, her consistent shifting of looks and appearances had inspired Barnabas to try out new looks himself, and was now attempting to grow a beard. At this point, fuzz only.

TVC05 Justiciar/01

Shinigami had discovered something that he had managed to hide from nearly everyone else: he was incredibly vain. She needled him about it at regular intervals, making fun of his hair, his clothing and his looks.
