CHALLENGE INSPIRATION: Like a battered, war-weary veteran, I return to the Rangers once more. Lately it’s been everything I can do to even attend regular classes and keep up with work week meal prep, otherwise I’ve been scarfing down a lot of garbage and either going wildly over or vastly under my recommended macros. My life has been chaos, in a constant state of upheaval, for weeks now. Fate is inexorable, but a man has control over his own actions if nothing else. Enough is enough. The CrossFit Games Open is coming in February and I haven’t had a ring muscle-up in months… that’s unacceptable. I need to get my weight down a bit to reclaim my gymnastic abilities, and I need to start pulling my weight on the forums. With that in mind, you’re all my Accountibilibuddies this challenge! 25 Quote [Level ??] Rurik, the Wayfinder Class: Gloomfall Gunslinger (Artificer/Gunslinger) BRUTALITY 11 | FINESSE 10 | VIGOR 11 | INSIGHT 14 | WILL 13 Equipment: The Alchemist greatcoat armor, Longshot adventuring rifle, Slicer & Dicer dual blades, with adventurer's pack containing an alchemist's kit.

The universe sees fit to hand us whatever blessings please them most; what ultimately matters is what we do with these gifts while we're here.
