Got a question...

#103
Another one.
Name, Helmler
Team status, none.
Story: During the skylark crash Hemler and others got separated from the others. Thrust into a world of uncertainty and chaos he quickly became used to surviving in the clockworks and fought all his attackers viciously, this included some knights. One day he met another who was separated and they worked together for months, hunting down others and once they found another, they each swore to themselves they would protect each other at all costs. And try and find their way out of here. (Third squad?)
Personality: Quiet, but strong, he has no hesitation to do anything, but has respect for the Wolvers. Quite another thing for Gremlins.
Pets: None, but has respect among the Wolvers.
Equipment: Daring Rigadoon, hunting blade, (brown) plate mail, (green) BlizzBreaker helm (light brown) Wyvern scale shield
Twist degree, 5 (he's already too complicated to change)
P.S. What about Rike? (I think Rike would be good as a backup if someone dies.

Sounds good :)
I accept all the changes. I would also prefer the Leviathan blade for his main weapon. Sorry for any of the paradoxes I created with my character info :P I was kind of sleepy when I made it, but I did have some creative juices flowing.
Thanks for picking my character as one of the main actors in your story, if you would like I can edit the stuff you wanted me to in the original app, just say the word :)

@Happy:
My bad, totally
@Happy:
My bad, totally missed that post! Thanks for bringin' it to my attention, on the 3rd page now I'd never have noticed that by change D:
Anyhoo; basically I'm ok with the changes, most of the stuff you want changed is just down to the gear, and that was really just fillers; the character I had in mind was more down to the personality and attitude, and relation to the girl; the armours/weapons etc wasn't vital to the character, I just filled it with what I use on my main.
1. Robida will not be in the squad, if I use him it would work better if she were someone who stayed in Haven doing a civilian role instead, you could also describe what you think she would look/be like and suggest what kind of work she would do
Sounds fine; I was just creating the character by drawing from life experiences and me and my girl get our kicks playin' games together; when you mentioned pets/sidekicks I thought it'd be a nice wee version of that; but havin' someone in Haven to go back to can easily be a driving force behind the character.
I mentioned already her personality in some brief detail; for looks she keeps things basic, she's not a fancy-dresser. Her main in SK I think is...the Seraphic Helm and one of the Proto armours iirc, nice and plain, totally alleviates any expectations!
2. Take the "Will laugh a lot and appear to never take things seriously on an aesthetic level, but always does, he just doesn't show it" part of his character, I think stoic would be good enough. He has to be the kind of guy who'd be willing to take orders from a monster and be able to live with himself after
Absolutely fine.
3. I need liberty on his weapons and especially his appearance as the one you gave would completely be out of place with the squad I want to put him in, I actually have a custom helm and possibly armor in mind and want to create a more proper 'military' kind of appearance rather then a wolver type character for this role, I will warn you that the image I have in mind will look nothing like you suggested.
The image is utterly up to you; I just suggested that as it's my mains current fashion armour; I just think it looks rad 'cuz it has the sort of inhuman appearance, almost monster; but for the sakes of a "monster" leader and strict military outfittings, it would certainly make more sense to go your route.
For his weapons I would like to replace the pepperbox with a custom autogun-like weapon and change the swiftstrike shield for something a bit more 'solid' looking, I also would like to use a less showy sword then a troika type one.
Custom? Like your own edited version within SpiralSpy? Could be cool, am fine with that one either way; the autogun line as a whole is my favourite gun, but specifics beyond that aren't a bother! If the sword is being replaced then there's almost no need to keep the swifty anymore, so they can both match up nice enough; the swifty's mainly there to accomodate the sword's slow rate. If you're wantin' me to suggest sword/shields just let me know, but I'm fine with you pickin'.
If you are okay with these changes I will confirm his place in this role, otherwise I will reopen the role for another character.
Aye, sounds cool; glad to get a wee spot in that comic; looked fantastic, am lookin' forward to the next ones comin' out :)

Casting Update
@Atrumvindex
Yes, very much so
@Windsickle
I'm keeping your character suggestions in the back of my mind to possibly use later.
Main and Supporting Role - Confirmed
@Azure-Orbit and Darkbrady
Confirmed both their roles, they will definitely appear.
Squad 1 Communications (Supporting Role) - Confirmed
@Frostrex
I put your character in as I needed a sort of 'newbie' recruit type character for squad 1, your character fit the bill quite well, only difference is that I will have the cobalt helm open instead of closed.
Squad 1 Bomber (Supporting Role) - Confirmed
@Fruits and Urrick
I have a bit of a conflict here as there were pieces from your two characters that I like to use in a single bomber character.
I like Fruit's character's personality and appearance:
"Personality: group clown, good guy, realist who practices safety first but dislikes superstition"
"Appearance/Armor: Demo suit, groundbreaker helm (not that important; can be left to your design)"
While I like Urrick's character's weapon suggestions, background, and "Twist":
"Weapons: Nitronome, Shivermist Buster, a modified Callahan that shoots explosive rounds which he refers to by the name "Kong" and a Leviathan Blade. He is rumored to carry a prototype bomb during every mission he embarks on for experimental purposes."
Though I may switch out the modified Callahan for some other sort of custom launcher similar to the grenade launcher I made earlier. When it comes to bombs a bomber character could actually carry a multitude of various kinds as they are not limited to a specific kind like in-game, just how many they can carry.
Background/History: Coming from a long line of demo knights who have proudly served a dangerous position, Urrick is quite handy when it comes to arming (and disarming) explosives of all kinds. His current line of work is that of a researcher, making new types of bombs to test on the various enemies and objects within the Clockworks. He is also said to be a decent swordsman and an excellent squad member, due to his personality.
"Twist" Degree: Urrick would never turn his back on his fellow knights... But he is cautious around infamous knights.
While that last bit is more of a personality trait it is something I can work with.
For relations I'm not sure about either, likely just a friendly guy who everyone likes. As for pets/sidekicks I think it's unlikely he will have any. Expendability is still up in the air.
The character I see here will serve as an able trustworthy type both in and out of combat, I also see him playing a comedy relief role in the story too. If I use this character I will credit you both for him.
Problem is I don't know what to name him, do either of you have a problem with me using the others character name instead of yours, or have an alternative name suggestion you both agree on?

@Atgatg
Role casting is likely to stay open for a while so every character has a chance of getting in still, that said a character who harbors a secret hatred for her own kind doesn't really have any place here as far as I've planned, you may want to try suggesting another character cause your first one is unlikely to find a spot.

Another App
After realizing the Jed isn't going to work, I thought of another one that might work.
Name: Augustus
Gender: Male
Personality: Extraordinarily calm. Usually talks as if he's lecturing someone. He frequently recites what he wants to, such as stories, quotes, and songs. He treats explorations as adventures, as tries to encourage those who lose hope. He absolutely loves the quote "All the world's a stage," and sometimes treats it as so, naming events as if they were events in a play (I.E: this is the part where we are victorious, this is the part where we destroy the odds, and, in extreme cases, this is the part where we die. )
Appearance/Armor: http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh488/ManicSunrise/Augustus-1.png
Weapons: Final Fourish, Argent Peacemaker
History/Background:Augustus was once a researcher for the spiraliens. It was through this that he discovered and absorbed classic pieces of literature that he found. After the crash, he saw this as an opportunity for adventure, and keeps exploring the clockworks nonstop. It should be noted that he is always carrying a book in his vitopod carrier, which he might occasionally pull it out if there is downtime.
Relations:None
'Twist' Degree: He's pretty open-ended. You can try what you want.
Pets/Sidekicks: The closest thing is probably the book that he is always carrying around. (Don Quioxte)
Expendability:pretty expendable.
Role: You can make him a minor character.

I would like to apply for the
I would like to apply for the role in the second chapter of the squad 3 leader, or one of the supporting characters.
Name: Aemicus
Gender: Male
Personality: I'm a pretty easy going guy, I'm not too bloodthirsty, but anyone beating up on noobs or being a jackass in general gets me riled up, and once I get angry, every pent up feeling is let out. You do not want to be in my way. I use perfect grammar and pretty much don't swear. Ever. I'm just a polite guy who protects the little guys.
Appearance/Armor: I have all the Wolver line armors, I'm pretty much a swordy all the way. As a costume, though, I wear a Skelly Suit with the Proto Crest and Military Dragon wings, and for my helmet I like a toxic bombhead. I use either a swiftstrike shield (I prefer to dodge) or a BTS.
Weapons: I realy love my Voltedge, I would prefer if you kept that in if I get the part. I also like my final flourish, acheron, and leviathan blade. A dagger would be nice too... maybe with a hilt in the shape of a dragon head. Causes fire.
Fighting style: I like to dodge around and get quick slashes off, but if I see one of my squadmates in trouble, I will bull into a massive crowd to free them. I'm sensing a martyr story...
History/Background: I used to be one of the NonComs on the skylark, but when it crashed, I was quickly promoted. I didn't interact much with my peers, preferring to spend my team going over techniques with some of the new recruits.
Relations: I like to be social, but can draw into myself for a few days if something happens to my group. So most people are okay with me around, but some can be wary of my sudden outbursts and withdrawals.
'Twist' Degree: I could kill one of my own squadmates if I felt like they were jeopardizing the community feeling of my squad.
Pets/Sidekicks: I generally am towing one or two noobies who I show the ropes.
Expendability: Kill him off whenever you feel like it, it's your story. I would prefer an epic death, though. Maybe saving one of my squad members.
IMPORTANT:
1. I would prefer never to use a slow sword. I find the unwieldy and awkward.
2. I'm not a tank. At all.
3. Bombs just aren't for me. Too much of a chance that I'll injure one of my own people.
4. I'm not a "lead from behind" kind of guy.
5. I can be sneaky, very sneaky, which leads to some people not being comfortable around me.

I don't mind any future changes you make, just as long I know that i was able to contribute. I'm tentative about the name, but i will reply when fruits does so we can agree on something
(EDIT) didn't realize the amount thing up there...
I will say that he does carry quite a few bombs on him at all times. About 6 or 8 at most. (12 would be stretching it) If you think the amount should be less, let me know.

@ Happyapathy
Do you know where your story will be going? I've been watching Alien and Aliens recently, and it seems like your story could go for a similar plot. This way, you can keep rotating characters so everyone could get the chance to see their characters in your story. If you already know the storyline/plot, disregard this post, as I support your work 100%.

@Urrick and happy
Not a problem!
I'm pretty much exactly on Urrick's stance about my character.
The name was largely inspired from an old character on an old german tv show and the former's monicker in english was "halfway between drunk and sober". You may substitute any part of it as per your creative designs.
Heck, even if nothing but the appearance or personality makes your cut, that's perfectly fine.

Name: Metrosexual
Name: Metrosexual Hipster
Gender: Metrosexual (M)
Personality: Metrosexual + Hipster. He has a hard shell of apathy, and lets only few know who he really is: a brave team player who understands that close relationships are important but cannot let him deviate from his mission (see below). Also, he's very blunt -- if he has a problem with a knight, or doesn't like the way they operate, he's not shy about it. This is a double-edged sword.
Appearance/Armor: http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/0/03/Metrosexualhipster.png
Weapons: Big Angry Bomb, RSS, Venom Veiler.
History/Background: Born from a Vog FSCer and a Skolver LDer, the hipster seeks more than just succeeding. He succeeds...with flair, style, and originality. Timeliness and speed are of no importance to him.
Relations: In general, Ambivalent towards most knights, but enjoys keeping a few close friends. Looks down on mainstream.
'Twist' Degree: He's not afraid to take one for the team, and he expects the same from his teammates. If there's a horde of oncoming zombies that threatens the success of the mission and a single teammate is still within his blast radius, he WILL detonate it. If he's the one in the blast radius, he WILL detonate it.
Pets/Sidekicks: None of note.
Expendability: Up to you.
Catchphrase: Damn it feels good to be a hipster.

Another Character.
Name: Duster
Gender: Male
Age: 73
Appearance: Chapeau of the Red Rose, Volcanic pipe, Azure Guardian Armor, blue eyes.
Weapons: Daring Rigadoon, Valiance and Static Flash
Personality: Wise, a bit rude towards youth.
Bio: Duster is one of the oldest living knights that is still on duty, but you would never know that. He fights like a fresh off the ship knight, his raspy voice is what lets most knights know he's old. Despite being in great shape, Duster finds himself tiring easily. Duster collects many trinkets from his adventures, but one thing most knights notice about Duster is that he's used the same set of weapons for years. Duster claims that if you believe in your weapons, they will never let you down. Knights that have seen him in action have noted his fencing manuevers look very suspicious, this is because Duster was one of the most respected fencers in the Knights of the Rose. He doesn't like to talk about his past, he says he has bad memories of lost friends and family. Despite Dusters rude disposition towards younger knights, if you can get on his good side, Duster is like a wise grandfather who you can always turn to for advice and fun.
Relations: Has a tough time with younger knights.
Twists: Nothing that I can think of unless it brings up something from his past.
Pets/Sidekicks: Nothing unless you want to add something in.
Expendability: I would prefer him to stay alive, but death can be an option. At least make it a sacrifice if he does die.

http://www.imagebam.com/image/1c8f8e173809872
Name: Fragor
Gender: Female
Personality: Tough as nails, gleeful, artistic, proud. Has a respect for Bombers.
Appearance/ Armor: the link will show.
Weapons: Every bomb is in the pack, but the standard loadout she has is Voltastic, Nitrome, Graviton Vortex and stagger storm
History/Background: A bomber who takes pride in her explosions. She thinks it's an art. Gets annoyed if mistakened for a boy. She has a deep respect for bombers as she bows before them before battling
Relations: A line of desendants who used bombs to create art. Her brother looks similar except uses mercurai and is named Butio who uses chemicals to make graffiti. He is like her.
'Twist' Degree: Her respect for bombers makes her have a weak moment in LD and when she encounters a Gremlin Bomber.
Pets/Sidekicks: none.
Expendability: You can decide.

Another character
Name: Bayonne
Gender: Male
Personality: A bit desperate yet stoic and focused, dedicated, driven by guilt.
Appearance/Armor: Grey Feather Hood, Mighty Cobalt Armour, Recon cloak/shield, Canteen, Moustache.
Weapons: Some guns (Antigua, Valiance) some bombs (especially status dealing ones).
History/Background: Once a renowned recon, sharpshooter and master of ambushes, Bayonne has retired over a decade ago and become one of most demanding, but also respected, instructor. Since that time he trained many skilful recons, but his most talented student was a girl named Parma*. Although he wouldn’t admit it, Parma quickly become for him like a daughter, he never had. Since Alpha Squad disappearance Bayonne sunk into despair. He started to blame himself for not showing Parma how proud of her he always was. His inability to show emotions made her reckless and prone to risk – in order to gain her master appreciation she always put herself to the hardest task, rejected any help and wasn’t able to accept anything below perfection. Bayonne believes that this attitude of her may leaded to failure of Alpha Squad mission and sealed Parma’s fate.
In his desperation Bayonne has decided to return to service and wear his recon cloak once more – he still hold a slim hope to find and rescue Parma. Most likely though he’s going to revenge her death, probably ending his miserable existence in the process.
Many knights are glad seeing this veteran pathfinder back in service. Some, especially younger ones, are a bit sceptical of this “grandpa” efficiency on the battlefield though.
Relations: paternal affection toward Parma
'Twist' Degree: moderate
Pets/Sidekicks: up to you, but I don't think so
Expendability: considering his background I won't be surprised if he die at some point
*Link for those unfamiliar with Parma.

I'll try. Why not? Here's someone for a bomber position.
I like making characters (but can't use spy for junk though) :3
Name: Jitters (that's not his real name, but it's what everyone calls him.)
Gender: Male.
Personality: Nervous, but when he gets stressed, he turns into a bit of a juggernaut... and it doesn't usually work out. For this reason, Jitters has taught himself to keep sort-of-cool in most situations. Jitters does, however, have a weakness for mushy soap operas.
Appearance/Armor: Up to you. It'd be nice for him to have a lollipop or something.
Weapons: A Big Angry Bomb, Deconstructor, and a modified Electron Charge that can stick to enemies made of metal. The latter also has a habit of sticking to walls made of metal too.
History/Background: Jitters woke up on Cradle, and immediately started to look for sweet things to eat. He loved sweets. What was this invisible thing he tripped on? Jitters took a taste of the Kleptolisk and frowned in distaste. Not sweet. But the plants he tasted next were nice. Jitters decided to bring them back to Haven to his friends. Since then, Jitters has been a premier candymaker on Haven, creating Clockwork lollies, Lumber bars and boiled Jelly Gems, among other things.
Relations: None of note.
'Twist' Degree: Up to the author.
Pets/Sidekicks: Jitters has a Kleptolisk named Taffy on his shoulders.
Expendability: As much as is necessary, but I'd like to see him continue for a bit.

new character
Name: dante
Gender: male
Personality: calm, and rather stupid sometimes. But he is really powerful, and always ready to sacrifice himself for a greater cause, he is extremely skilled in swordfighting, but when it comes to guns, even a snipe is better than him.
apperance/armour: full almirian crusader set, crest of almire.
weaponary: cold iron vanquisher, and a swift flourish.
backstory: the strangers found him when he was only a baby in a escape pod, but it was completely different from the ones the knights used, they said he was a "natural genious" when it came to fighting. The strangers have very little info about his birthplace, but some believe that he is the only survivor (that is not a zombie) from almire... But they never were sure of it.
relations: Has a few knight friends, and will surely make some new ones in this adventure.
expendability: if he is going to die, i want him to die sacrificing himself to defeat a really powerful enemy (perhaps overcharging himself with energy and using some kind of limit break? of course his bodu wouldn't resist and fall apart), and if he dosen't die, i want him to discover his homeland and continue in his journey.

Update Feb. 13
I'm partway through Chapter 1 and have decided to break it up into two chapters, I've also plotted out quite a bit of the opening chapters, from there on in things start to get messy with the plot and I will need to think about how everything ties together.
==Things I've noticed about Submissions==
Possible replacements for characters lost in Chapter 1, 2, 3
Keep this line in mind, I may have selected characters that I would like as replacements but announcing them would give away which characters are gonna die, or if any do, so there are character submissions that I'm highly considering but can't say so for the sake of the story.
Don't Put 'Main' Labels on For Me
I would also like to say that labeling your character as a 'main character' or 'squad leader' does not increase their chances of been given a main role and may hurt their chances of getting a supporting or minor role as I'm not sure if you would be okay with that. The way things are going it looks like their may be possibly only 4-6 main characters with a larger number of supporting and minor characters revolving around them, just because your character didn't get a lead role doesn't mean they won't get a chance in the spotlight.
Martyrdom Can Get Old
A lot of people are saying if their character dies they want them to get an 'epic death' of some sort, unfortunately you can only have so many scenes of people throwing themselves on grenades, shielding their friends with their own body, or fighting to the death so everyone else can escape, before it starts to get old. Don't expect all deaths to be poignant tearjerkers.
People are also been rather protective of their characters asking for them to live a while, or have their death mean something. I really don't like asking people directly if their okay with their character been killed cause that gives away what will happen, or asking if their okay with their character been only in one scene or chapter cause that gives it away too, if you accept a minor or, even supporting role (but less so), you must agree to the fact I might dispose of him/her at anytime in a manner of my choosing, I will avoid stupid deaths like tripping over a cliff or crushed by a falling piano so that shouldn't be a worry. I do need characters who may only be around for one chapter or to end up been canon fodder, but I don't like having to outwardly ask people for permission to do so.
---------------------
Squad 3:
Main Character: Rex (Squad Leader) - CONFIRMED
@Ndognine
Rex sounds like a solid choice here, he's another good guy type but I do imagine him to be more of a hot head who is more rash and less understanding of others then Avaren. He also sounds like a possible comic relief type and may find himself involved in one of the more humorous plot lines I have in mind. I'm going to exclude the wings and glow eyes, I'm still undecided about the pet. He's quite good as he is so I'm not going to suggest any big amendments.
???Support/Main??? (Squad Mate): Undecided
Not quite sure who to put here, looking for a sort of good/best friend type for Rex, I do know it's going to be a guy. In terms of rank he will equal Rex or at least heavily influence his decisions. Would share a history with Rex and have a compatible personality to him. I've looked through the submissions and considered a few but have yet to narrow it down. If you think your character could fit or be altered to fit I'm open to all suggestions.
Two other spots are generic for now, that may change though >_>
Squad 4:
This is a 'background' sort of squad that the story won't follow for very long, but that does not mean they won't have personality and they will see action. If your hoping that your character submission will get a more long term role be wary of accepting these parts, roles will be confirmed on a first come first served basis:
Minor: Gwilren (Squad Leader) - CONFIRMED
@Windsickle
Your character is fine as is for this role if you want.
@Thunderbog
I know you submitted your character in the hopes of a main role but I could use him here, not sure about later, if I do use him here I would have to drop the background and relations he had to Covens squad and all the conditions of a minor character would be applied to him.
Minor: Rosco Barns "Silk Finger" (Gunner) - CONFIRMED
@Tovvok
This is one character I would definitely like to use here
I will choose 2 to 4 (maybe more) characters from the following for minor Squad mate roles, respective submitters please confirm if you want to accept this role, keep in mind the minor role conditions:
Alpha - CONFIRMED
York - CONFIRMED
Zale - CONFIRMED
Fragor - CONFIRMED
Augustus - CONFIRMED
Personal Responses
I re-read a number past submissions and have a few comments/suggestions for some of them:
*@Gzilla
I suggest you actually re-edit the actual descriptions of your character suggestions to be less insane rather then just add the little edit note at the bottom, also the "prefer not to die" you have for each one is badly limiting the options I have for them
@Ironskullkid
Main problem about your character is it sounds like he's towing an entire entourage of friends with him, like his own personal squad, I'm not sure how important the relations are and it makes it hard to use him if he supposed to be having all these extras in tow, some clarification on how his relations should be treated would help
@Spyash
Once again tl;dr, I strongly suggest you reorganize your submission into something readable

Striker the Brave
Ok heres my guy.
Name: Striker
Gender: male
Personality: prudent and will do anything for his friends
Appearance: Glowing orange eyes, along wwith an Ash Tail set,
Weapons: Valiance, Grand Flourish, and a Leviathan
History/bio: an orphan knight, Striker learned to fight at a young age, and once he made his way to Haven, Kozma and the others of the Spiral Order accepted him into their ranks. At first he never talked to them, preferring to be on his own. Soon he developed close bonds to the Order and is one of the highest ranking knights. He is rash and will usually think before acting and is also loyal and will never give up on his friends. Striker is usually obedient and follows most orders. But even now he Still has an air of suspicion...
Relations: Striker and Kozma have been friends since they were children, and they never leave each others side. They are the closest of friends, but now they may be more....
Pets: Striker, at one point had been on an expedition into the Gloaming Wildwoods. The Snarbolax ambushed he and his comrades, but Striker killed it. He had found a small cub in the grass... A wolver cub. He took care of it and now it has bonded a lot with him. The Wolver,named Ragon,has never lost, neither to a Knight or another monster. He always trys to protect the knights that have taken him in.
Expendability: Striker is one if the strongest Spiral Knights in the Order, but will almost never obey an order unless it is from Kozma or his best friend Basil. He only charges into battle when he has a good strategy planned out, and has almost never lost. Suffice to say.... He is that combo of smarts and strength thats somewhat hard to beat. His only problems are his tendency to spare his enemies and his curiousity, which both of which have led him in many tight spots
There i edited it, hope u like

New guy
Here my character
Name: Hades
Age:19
Gender:male
Personality: A solo fighter, lone wolf, but is one of the strongest Knights in the Order
Appearance: Blazing red eyes, also has black hair.
Armor and weapons: snarbolax coat, Chapeau of the Black rose, barbarous thorn shield, acheron renamed "Thanatos"
History: Named after the god of death himself, Hades has always been able to communicate with the dead. He was cast out of the Kingdom of Almire because they feared his power... He has the ability to summon up to 20 zombies, each armed with a Gran Faust to fight his enemies, but his real power is much darker.... He is a solo fighter and will even leave fellow knights behind. But when the Spiral Knights' sense of justice coincides with his, he will defeat the most enemies and save more knights' lives than any other. His strength worries the spiral order, and it is unsure if he will eventually use his power to overthrow the Order.
Relations: a solo fighter, Hades does not usually interact with other Knights. He supposedly tolerates, even likes the company of small animals, and is always seen with his pet Snarbolax Aeron
Pets: Hades has a young pet Snarbolax named Aeron, and never lets anyone harm him. He is also seen with a small black snipe in battle.
Expendability: Hades is one of the strongest warriors in the Order. They see him as a potential threat, but accept him only because he saved the life of the spiral quartermaster Kozma. Hades is always wary though... But he will place the life of other knights above his own. If he has to die, id like it to be a heroic death, like him releasing a final burst of energy against a powerful foe. Of course, his life force will be drained
Squad: Hades doesnt usually work with any other knights, but will if he has to

The font is called PErfect dark I downloaded it here

And here is the revised logo for your use sir, enjoy! (not it's probably not to scale with your panels but I'm sure you can simply rescale it.)

This is tovvok
I'm using my alt because I'm at school and I can't connect through steam, but I just wanted to confirm the use of York in your story.
I'll validate this message on my account when I get home.

Figured I might as well try
Figured I might as well try to make someone to play Rex's best friend.
Also, on Rex's post, I forgot to add personal color and a shield. Personal color is Red and shield is Swift strike. If either affect what you were planning, just ignore them :P
Name:Max
Gender:Male
Personality: Always willing to lend a hand, and will NEVER leave a friend behind. Likes to joke around a bit, but gets dead serious when in any kind of battle situation. Doesn't like to argue much, and tends to stay away from them. Likes to let people have their opinions, even if different from his own.
Appearance/Armor:
Black Chapeau with fancy glasses
Justifier Jacket with Fancy canteen and fancy side blade.
Swift strike buckler
For personal color I was thinking somewhere between blue and purple.
Weapons: Argent Peacemaker, Sentenza, and Callahan.
History/Background: Max's family died when the Skylark crashed, leaving him alone and afraid. He joined some squads, but never really made any connections with Knights. One day he was reassigned to a new squad with a knight named Rex. After talking a while, they became friends. After going through many missions together they became almost inseparable, always demanding that they be in the same squad if things got shifted around. They have reached a point where they know what each other will do in almost any situation.
Relations: No family. Has been best friends with Rex for a long time.
'Twist' Degree:Your story, your call
Pets/Sidekicks: none
Expendability: your story, your call

Apparently I'm a bit late
Happyapathy, do you want us to confirm via a certain manner, or is just a post in the thread fine?
If posting here is fine, then I'm fine with Augustus being a minor role.

replies
Going to be honest here instead of sugar coating things so (I apologize for any upset feelings)...
@Catboyc
I looked at your character and he sounds a bit... generic, there's nothing really notable or particularly interesting there, its like "he's a knight, has fear of wolvers, done", so its highly unlikely I would be using him for anything much.
@Kaijuhunter
For Striker:
A super strong character who never losses, does whatever he wants, has a near flawless personality, and I can't kill off... very little chance I will use him, you might want to bring him down to Earth more cause he's coming out as a 'too good to be true' type that don't exist in reality, everyone has flaws and weaknesses, made mistakes and suffered failures in their life.
For Hades:
You read what I thought about 'magic' right? 0% chance of entering
@Ndognine
I'll think about your character, that's all I can say right now.
@Outnuendo
Posting here is fine, I'll put him in as a possibility but there's a chance I might find a different role for him at some point.
I'll throw my hat into this ring. Although it's not a knight character, he would be incredibly easy to animate I'd imagine.
Name: Gizmo
Gender: Male
Species: Shock Devilite
Personality: Dorky, shy
Appearance: Blue glasses with a green body, without the bow tie.
Weapons: A smaller version of the devilite overtimer axe, not the pitchfork.
Bio: This devilite regrets his career as a mischief maker, and escaped from the underworlds workforce. He decided that the only way he would be safe from vengeful co-workers is by joining the Knights in Haven by providing them knowledge and support. He has considerable and questionable knowledge of Cradle and the Clockworks, sometimes he knows a little TOO much about certain things. Gizmo is very smart, and can sometimes drone on and on until someone shuts him up. While he may seem fragile, he IS a devilite and his combat skills are quite good for something so small. Gizmo claims to have slain fearsome beasts with his electric axe, but nobody really believes these claims. While Gizmo is shy around most, he seems to have some sort of passion for combat, for those who have actually seen him fight have had to pull him off of the enemy. One thing to note is that Gizmo is quite the klutz, which can endanger himself and others if they aren't careful. And while he claims to know EVERYTHING about Cradle, there are some things that he admits that he doesn't, or doesn't want to know.
Relations: None, but he tries to make friends with anyone he's paired with.
Pets/sidekicks: Gizmo has a very small dud-bomb that looks like it was pulled from a bomb bandolier. He talks to this whenever he gets lonely or feels like nobody is listening to him, it doesn't talk back so it just creeps others out.
Expandability: Nothing that I can think of, I would prefer him left alive but if you wish to remove him and send him back to HQ until further notice or something that would work.
Twist limit: Maybe the bomb could have a spirit trapped in it at some point, and actually start talking? Maybe a wise-cracking advise giver?
That's about all I thought of off the top of my head.
