The night is thick with urban shadows clinging to every corner of the city's streets. Skyscrapers rise like sepulchres of the forlorn, burying those beneath them in the aspirations of their heights. There is an illusory sense of security and community.

Everyone here is alone.

Two familiar figures stand across from one another high on the city's catwalks. One man, one woman. They greet eachother with smiles, the kind only shared by lovers.

With a gentle flick of his wrist the man produces a light and a smoke. Bringing the pair to his lips he inhales before letting out a sigh of relief. Laughing to himself under the hollow air of the catwalk, the man looks up in time to witness the muzzleflash of a barrel pointed in his direction.

A sharp sound is followed immediately by the harsh push of a projectile driving its way into his flesh. As he falls, the man thinks only of the situation's irony, smiling now at the prospect of his death.

Legault possesses long and sharp features: a straight, yet hawk-like nose; lilted eyelids with a snake-like charm; thin lips that sport a devilish smile; and hair worn straight back and tight to his scalp. Aristocratic.

——————»‹ ¤ ›«——————»‹ ¤ ›«——————

(WIP) Legault’s supposed to be dead, so he retired himself. Laying low he spent most of his time getting drunk and staying off the grid. Struggling with an inner desire to become part of the world again, at times he flirts with danger.

In more recent years he's developed a vicious temper, feeling resentful after having been betrayed by the only person he trusted in his former line of work. (WIP)

Question1:

If I want to get the table to align on the right and the text to align on the left (or vice versa) how would I do that?

Question2:

If he's an Imperial citizen but no longer part of their military, should I just make him an Indie?

Du Couteau will always make me think of the family from League of Legends.

I'm not entirely sure on what your first question means - do you want the boxes to be to the left/right of the page (rather in the center), while the text inside is aligned the opposite way? There's also a [justify*][/justify*] tag now which will give you a handsome block of text that's equally spaced on both sides, if you're into that sort of thing.

Is it really? The character is just French-esque, noir inspired. And Couteau is the French word for knife or blade, fitting for a former agent.

Yea that sounds like what I'm trying to do. Now to see if I can get it to work...

Yeah, its a family of .. wait for it .. assassins with knives and sharp things! But its a kickass name either way.

Kind of like either of these? My brain is pretty fried so I'm probably misinterpreting everything you want to do:

Name:
Legault Du Couteau
Title(s):
Civilian, Retired, (Former) Imperial Intelligence

I HELPED. You probably already know this, but hitting reply with quote will show you all the code. Internet magic.

Errr, what if I wanted to have it aligned like that, but still be able to have text on the left side of it? Then that way I could maybe throw in a picture above the table too?

EDIT:

Actually, I'm sure someone has done this before. With my new "reply with quote" magicks I've learned from you, I might be able to pull it off.

EDIT2:

Ty's to Bee for all the help.
