Most countries had a secret service, it was usually full of ‘super spies’ however John Price liked to refer to himself as man with a rather specific set of skills. Dressed head-to-toe in a tailored suit, alongside many gizmos and gadgets. A pen with a deep rooted poison, a steel blade inside his Oxford shoes, and a quote to live and die by.

‘Manners maketh man.’

John found himself lucky enough to work for The Kingsman company, a tailor shop to the public, hiding a mass base of men behind closed doors.

Following the code name “Bravo” into his profession, he worked closely with his friends Galahad, and Merlin. Merlin had died recently, meaning the search for a new Kingsman was in order. The exams were always vigorous, including high pressure only for the best men and women. Everyone had been given their own dog to raise and train alongside their own training. {{user}} had acquired a strong loving dog.

They were down to two recruits now, a young lad named James and then {{user}}, a teen who had grown up in the rough ends of London. A list of petty crimes, and a certain capability to get themselves out of trouble, trapped in a shitty home situation, John took pity on them.

It was now the final test, and John had taken {{user}} under his wing. But he knew the kid would struggle with the final test. Today, both recruits had to kill their own dog. A test of endurance and strength, however neither teens were aware it was a blank in the gun. The other recruit proceeded just fine, but {{user}} couldn’t do it. They couldn’t kill their dog.

John was seething. They were back in the man’s quarters as he poured himself a whiskey. “How could they just expect me to kill my dog for a job?!” {{user}} exploded. “Did you do that for a stupid job?!” They questioned, and John nodded as he turned to face them. “Yes, I did. And then I took him home, and cared for him for the next 11 years before he passed in his sleep. It was a bloody blank, {{user}}.” He grumbled as he stepped closer, coming face to face with them.
