--- The Winter Kingdom ---

It is 2561, and the eternal winter still rages. King Verne the Terrible has usurped the Spiral HQ's position and taken it by force. He is a cruel tyrant, as bloodthirsty as a starving wolver. His conquests have driven the Knights on Cradle bankrupt and poor. It is YOUR turn, now, as part of Epsilon Squad, to kill the king.
Epsilon was a last resort instituted by the Spiral Order before its fall. Only the most skillful and talented Vanguards were part of it.
Edit: Now the Knights of King Verne can be apped for, as well as drifters.

Bio/Personality: Beck is a sold to the highest bidder kinda guy. He doesn't think twice about breaking the law and will deny it just the same. He has the skills of an expert recon and will put them to use for the right price. He started from a poor family, and learned to live on the streets. When Verne took over, he started putting his skills to use. After a while he took on hiring himself out to get some money. His skills and gear grew and now his next target is pending.

Darth Ritual strikes back!

Name: Rasfie

Gender: Male

Armor: Grey Feather mantle and Divine Veil

Offensive and Defensive Equipment: An Argent Peace maker built into his robotic arm and also a biohazard just in case. Sheild would be Celestial

Bio: Defending from a attack on a village somewhere on cradle, Rasfie's mother was killed while he was at a very young age. His father lived however, leaving him to take care of Rasfie as he grew up. Rasfie was found to have a knack for mechanics, and was even able to use a blow torch at the age of 5, he however had a unfortunate accident involving his left arm the first time he tried mechanics involving his left arm, which was cut off. However, he didn't seem fazed by it. (But his father did a lot.) He made a replacement arm, that time being more careful not to cut off an arm, and put it on and it fit perfectly. He joined the Spiral Order when he was edgible to and quickly rose the ranks. The Spiral Order was so impressed by his skill that they offered him a position in Epsilon Squad, which he did not pass up.

Personality: Tough, somewhat-serious, brave.

Name: Ralan "Biter" Caltamir

Gender: Male

Armor: A Spiral Flak Jacket colored toasty, and a Kat Claw Cowl with glasses and a holly-striped scarf.

Offensive and Defensive Equipment(Weapons and Shield): Silverslicer, a Blitz Needle, a Final Flourish, and an Aegis.

Bio/Personality: Ralan was treated poorly in his early knighthood, being treated roughly and being made fun of because of his glasses. He was also too skinny, his muscles barely apparent. But that grew in. As he endured the rough treatment of his comrades, he grew strong, fast, and downright deadly. His fencing skill rivaled even the greatest fencers. But there were still greater. A day in the battlefield, a man out-fenced him, tearing a scar near his mouth. Ralan wore a scarf over it to conceal the wound. On Ralan's 24th birthday, he was moved to 'Epsilon Squad', and has been with them ever since.

Position in Epsilon Squad(Guardian, Gunner, Striker, Bomber, Recon): Striker

Appearance: Long, blue blue hair, blue eyes, and average height

Offensive and Defensive Equipment: Gray owlite shield, leviathan, argent peacemaker, archon, final flourish.

Bio/Personality: Likes to remain silent and keep her face hide until she knows someone. After she does though, she is mostly kind, but a little sarcastic as well. Due to her silence and no appearance to go by, most people assume she is male. She hasn't shown herself to her own squad yet, and when she had to talk, she imitated a mans voice as close as possible.

The Question

@Archemiday The squad was formed in 2558, three years before King Verne's rulings, as a last stand.

Thinslayer

Maybe.

I was thinking of joining with a brand-new character I've been cooking up, but the stat system is driving me off. Could you maybe simplify the system?

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 08:19

#11

Raigaizam

How so?

Less points or less things to put your stats into?

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 08:26

#12

Thinslayer

@Raigaizam

Both, kinda like the system I used for RtC2. The difference between 6 and 7 on a scale of 0-10 isn't as significant as the difference between 1 and 2 on a scale of 0-2. Basically, you want the differences to be meaningful in-game, and with such a wide scale and so many categories, the differences could get easily lost if you don't have a set of strict gameplay rules.

And stricter gameplay rules aren't necessarily better, especially for this site.

@Sho

I'm a little puzzled, what's the use of a guardian with a recon cloak?

Also, how many people are part of Epsilon Squad?

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 20:18

#17

Raigaizam

There are......

There are 7 characters in Epsilon. One is the leader, however, making the seventh. You will have to compete for that position.

@Pipipipipi Accepted!
@Sho Not declined, but on a little hiatus. You will have to change your app a little for 2 reasons:
1. You cannot be a Guardian without at least one sword, and no double classes. Guardian or Gunner.
2. Recon Cloak? Explain the need of this.

Liminori

Objection!

I feel as if it could be a bit better with more characters.
For example, It would add a lot more... Flavor, If some of the characters were King Verne's Knights.
Or... Drifters. Characters with no connections to anyone- Their only side they belong to is their own...

Requesting Sub-Characters.
Also, It'd be cool if there were gigantic battles on a scale nearly... Impossible to do on forums.
---
Note: Two Gunners, Two Recons, One Striker, One Guardian. (One Spot Remains. Bomber Reccomended.)
Also, I think it's funny my Recon's faster than the Striker.

Midnight-Dj

i will take the bomber then...

Name: 'Saboteur' or sabo for short

Gender: male

Armor: bombastic demo suit + mad bomber helm with its mahawk badly charred

Offensive and Defensive Equipment(Weapons and Shield): nitronome and a talking obsidian crusher, heater shield

Bio: this eccentric bomber is called saboteur, it is only a nickname, his real identity was lost in chaos when verne purged most of the spiral order high ranking staff officers. When most of the wardens either escaped or died in combat at the asylum which he was held in, he planned his escape. He taken the identity of the former epsilon bomber and all of her cloths before mutilating his corpse. Once he reported back to the squad, everyone simply assumed that he was the one that was assigned to the team, little did they know, their bomber is a Psychopath.

'Saboteur' could remember little of his past due to several drugs administered to him during his time in the asylum, the only thing he could recall was scene of his lying wounded on the ground, seeing the convoy he once assigned to protect blowing up into pieces right infront of his eyes.

Personality: saboteur is a deranged madman, more blood thirsty and eccentric than Affraiel the renegade warden, but thankfully, he isn't anywhere as strong or as skilled in sword as the latter. The only upside is that, saboteur is a explosive expert, and he can make short work of his enemy regardless of their armor. He also picked up a mysterious obsidian crusher that talks to him occansionally (to drive the story), the name of the bomb is mezizas, who constastly wants to convince saboteur to circumvent Epsilon squad's plan to retake cradle.

Position in Epsilon Squad(Guardian, Gunner, Striker, Bomber, Recon): bomber

Midnight posted while i was looking up what bombs my character might use! lol

I like Liminori's idea for a few non-Epsilon Squad Characters.I wouldn't mind playing an independent Character,if there's room.

#29

Raigaizam

That'd be great.

@Liminori Good idea!

@Sulfr Sure you can.

@Midnight Your spelling is barely legible XD
Anyways, accepted! That could add a little spice to the story.
The only really confusing part is why would an Epsilon squad bomber be in an Asylum? o_o

Thu, 05/22/2014 - 10:16

#30

Sulfr

Cool

@Raigaizam Ty,and I think Midnight's character is an imposter

Armor:Namless Hat,Dusker Coat with metal coffee cup hanging off it.
Offensive and Defensive Equipment(Weapons and Shield):Callahan,Sentenza with shattered wings,Sinister Skelly Shield

Personality:A little withdrawn,Dreston usually keeps to himself,but is quiet blunt when dealing with people.

@Sulfr

Lol I know Midnight's an impostor. What I meant was why was the original Epsilon bomber even NEAR an asylum.

Also, accepted! With this many people, we only need some of Verne's knights and maybe another freelancer!

#32

Thanks

added a nickname reference to my character Edit*Changed to the nickname to somethin better

maybe Midnights character is impersonating an imposter of the epslon bomber?

Thu, 05/22/2014 - 13:01

Question for Midnight:

So... Is the Bomber that Sabo killed a he or she? It's kind of hard to tell with the Bio and everything. It would make sense if it was a he, Because then he'd not be crossdressing. But, if it is a she he killed... HAHAHA- I think I'm going to like this character of a psychopath.

@Liminori I think I'ma make some expendable characters. Accepted anyway, but,
1) Is Kanoka expendable? Lol
2) Is she Verne's personal guard?

Psychnade

He's Back.

Name: Max Casterwill

Gender: Male

Armor: White Battle Chef Coat w/ a Snowfall Aura and Frosty Crescent Helm w/ Cool Plume and Ancient Round Shades

Offensive and Defensive Equipment: Grey Owlite Shield and Hail Driver with Charge Time Reduction and Glacius.

Bio/Personality: Max was a top scientist just before Verne took over. He was studying the eternal winter and its causes(assuming it was occurring before Verne's rule), but was forced to flee from the area as Verne's forces overran the Order. Max left his scientific ways and learned how to defend himself, engineering his own weapons. He took most of his work with him, and disappeared into the snowy mountains, where he believed the origin point of the winter was.

Max is quiet and calm most of the time, and easily loses himself in endless trains of thought. His intelligence is magnificent, and he can easily find the solution to problems. Max will remain stoic even in battle, casually cutting down opponents without seemingly paying them any heed. His knowledge has made him cold and cynical however, and won't let anyone interfere with him figuring out the winter's secret.
