Fanfiction: Two paths.

*bump*
I certainly appreciate how you seem to be taking this story, Tear!
One question, though...will you take it upon yourself to write the entire story with these characters, or will we assist you in the writing personally? I am fine with either, but I am still unfamiliar with the SK fanfict "procedure", and I figure that this would be the perfect place to ask.

The main fanfic i read is written by one person, so i thought i'd just make one like that :) nice person as well

Name: Grittle
Age: 25
Gender- male
Personality: persuasive, usually happy
beginning equipment: brute jelly helm(cool game face accessory), elemental cloak, pepperbox, super blast bomb, scary skelly shield
current Equipment: Rock jelly helm(cool game face accesory),miracle cloak,fiery pepperbox,master blast bomb, sinister skelly shield
Skills: 2 minor skills
1. speak many langueges:from jelly to gremlin, you got it!
2. remarkable persuasion (good for giving people a rip off of 20 faulty blast bombs :))
MINI: Grittle is the Guardian of the coin squad, going throught to clockworks selling many items, in mint condition, or defected, he is part knight and jelly, his best friend is basil
Other: motto- you want it, I got it! Only if you have enough crowns!
Pets: a pet mini rock jelly, sniffles
Allies: Basil, Ion,
Postition: he should be guardian gunner/bomber in the coin squad

hmm... Guess ill drop in another just to keep this alive. Can't think of a good medic like person for rival team that is still unique (I fail at characters a lot)
So heres another one for the coin squad.
Name: Tinker
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: Energetic, optimistic
Equipment: Cobalt Helm, Frostbreaker armor, Proto Shield, Calibur, Broken Hot Edge (in need of Fuel cells to keep it running.)
Skills: A technician. good with "fixing" things in order to at least nget them somewhat functioning again.
MINI: A peppy knight accustomed to fixing whatever he finds. Constructed himself a Striker Module (the ones from Lockdown) in order to help him run to grab that crown before the Gremlin can. Although his striker Module frequently malfunctions and blows up at the worst of time (or simply runs out of energy) he can get it up and running with ease within about 3 minutes. Although reckless and strung with insomnia at times, he gets the job done and always takes the biggest crystal :)
Pets: A reconstructed semi-functioning scuttlebot (the Adv. Training Hall box ones). It acts sorta sentient and fetchs him driks as he's working on broken mechs.
Allies: Coin squad, idc
Suggestion: Striker Coin Squad

Why not?
lemme edit that up real nicely...

Any of you guys in game atm? Could make the real time idea exchange easier :P
Just a random thought, don't mind me...

a thing or two.
1. make any type of jelly mini if you want, thats one of the things i'll allow.
2. any of you want to see if you can chat to me, feel free to send me a friend request, but mention that your from here
3. ...you guys are accepted.
4. nothing except i'm wwwaaaattttiiinnnggg :P

Lol friendly bump :D
Also I talked with Kanoka a bit, and he was gonna work on making a medic for the rival squad if no one else does sooo....
BUMP-DITTY-DOO!

Here is the last bump we shall need to have; if I see no one post the medic within the next 16 hours, I'll post my idea for it instead so that you can begin the writing process!!!
BUMP

*Here is a possibility for Rival Medic if you still need it, Tear:
Name: Whyyk
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Personality: Very extrovertive, Whyyk has a very cheerful demeanor. She loves science, and is always anxious to discover new things.
Equipment: With a lovely Freezing Vaporizer and Haze Bomb at her side, along with a Calibur to support herself with, Whyyk has a simple Vitapod armor that allows her to have as much health as possible on her Clockworks excursions to help her team with. She has a modified Angelic Helm as a costume piece that she managed to pull together, although it doesn't even have the ability to be used as an Angelic Helm as she found it in disrepair after the Skylark crash.
"Mini" Biography: Whyyk was on the Skylark when it crashed, and she was devestated when the greatest scientific development of Spiral was destroyed. She went into a sort of depressive state for about a week, before another interest found its way into her mind: the prospect of being one of the first to explore the newly-discovered Clockworks. She was extremely excited to recieve the honor, but her chance was immediately taken away when Iris team was chosen to be one of the preliminary teams to enter the Clockworks, and her heart was broken once again. Ever since then, Whyyk has pledged to be the first to enter the Core, and she has found comfort in her dream with Bane's team. She still has a personal vendetta against Iris and her husband, but is willing to use her scientific ability to better the Knights, as long as she recieves credit for it all.
Additional facts: Whyyk has a glistening smile, but it happens to be the only part of her that can glisten - always scrounging around for the newest discovery, the dreaming medic is usually quite stained and dirty.
Pets: None as of the current time.
Allies: She has managed a treaty with the Gremlins, so they do not attack her even as they destroy her teammates.
Position: Rival Team Medic

Yay, looking forward to the next chapter. (Speaking of new chapters, I posted VII, just thought you might want to know ;) )

:) I'm sure that you're doing quite well, and I am still in wild anticipation for the story...which is why I'm sure to check this thread at least twice a day. XD Just wanted to check in to see how everything was coming along!

my brother does his coursework on laptop, so i have very little time to write normally. but, i'm going to finish part one of the next chapter as soon as possible sorry for making you wait so long for so little.
Did it all in one!
Iris sat there, thinking about the clockworks. A death trap. Yet they were fascinating. A complex of separate globes with different landscapes. Even in the gaps gaping between the clockworks full of the domes, there were still islands of land fallen from the crust, thriving with wolvers, polyps, the odd gremlin or two and more. Looking at what was left of the data from the Skylark, you could see it was a series of platted cogs rarely actually touching. You could see that from the ‘outside areas’ as well, but less well. It seemed like an eternity before Iris’ family came into the room she was lying in. They had been to a guild meeting; she had stayed in that room after another vision. She wasn’t having many those days. Only when something of great matter came up, would she ever have a vision. They went over the skeleton of the meeting, but not much else.
---EGH---
*During a quick tier one run a few hours before - Clank, clank, clank, the clockworks never stopped clanking*
‘’Ok, this is the last depth were doing guys’’ -deep breath- ‘’lets finish this in style!’’ Iris exclaimed brightly. More deep breaths and puffing as the lift hurtled down its track. ‘’Ok, a shocking lichen lair. Get ready for some annoying quick silvers, a lot of shocking polyps and one or two Electreants. ‘’Dammit! I hate shock, totally ruins my style’’ Artist said in an undertone. ‘’What style? Anyway, who doesn’t Art, it ruins charging, running and much much more.’’ Came Arenas deep voice from past the barrier. ‘’You don’t say!’’ trolled Artist as annoying as ever. ‘’Get out here and let me give you a slap!’’ ‘’Now why would I do th-‘’ ‘’SHUT UP’’ Shouted Iris as she skipped around the giant lichen colony attacking it here and dashing off as it jabbed it’s thorns into the ground and hit her leg. ‘’Damn it!’’ Whispered Iris to her self, as Grace quickly healed it. Grace, during that time had been shooting at the blob with her Shadowtech. Nothing was special about this, just a routine run through a random gate. The jellies dispersed and they got to the lift. This had been their final level, having used their bout of energy before this. Returning on the lift as it slowly ascended through the areas of the clockworks, Iris came to think about it…a death trap, the globes. Poof, the lift came to a stop, Iris looked up expecting to see the knights glace towards them and then forget about it…but there was a different sight. A fight between a group of knights and a hoard of gremlins. The knights were certainly in a disadvantage, right next to the edge with nowhere to go. ‘’Quick, Art go to the left, Arena to the middle and keep us covered while I go to the right. Grace, shoot ‘em down while making sure to heal us, but use that healing stick the guardian gave you, so you don’t have to get close and hurt yourself, now MOVE OUT’’
--From Art’s view point--
''Hey guys, were here to help!’’ *A few grunts and head turns as a reply* Taking his Flourish out and charging it, Artist ran over the nearest bunch of gremlins, after dodging an axe or two, unleashed the combo. *Whistling sound, please someone tell me what letters make it!* ‘’Ouch’’ said Art in a shocked voice as a single bullet from an auto gun hit him on the shoulder. Suddenly, it tickled and was better. ‘’What?’’ (<-needs to learn to listen to Iris more :P) ‘’Ah, probably just a miss aimed heal.’’ Quickly dashing in and out of the gremlins, the fight grew more confusing by the second.
--Back normal—
The gremlins were thinning quickly. The team had got away from the edge of the flooring, and were now mingling with Selfless. ‘‘Grackle!!!’’ All of a sudden, the gremlins ran to their bunkers at the edge of the mine. ‘’Quick, get them!’’ shouted the striker from the other squad as he dashed forwards. Running towards the bunkers, as a few blast bombs flew over their heads, was a decision they regretted. It turned out, these bunkers were more than normal places to rest, but also has teleporters in. ‘’Bad idea mate!’’ Arena hesitantly laughed. * A whistle and a shout of…* ‘’Phew! I thought I would be to late to share the fun! Mah flourish will be a little help to you guys ah hope!’’ cried the new comer ‘’Just so you know, mah name is Xeris.’’ *Shing* Grace, started confused at the Xeris. [Ah, if he has come to help, he’s good I guess.] She thought. ‘’Argh!’’ ‘’Grace! Watch out!’’ Getting her shadowtech out again, she quickly shot the gremlin who had dared throw his hammer at her. [They better not do that again] as she shot a charged bullet right into the middle of the pack, killing three gremlins at once with the separating bullets. Iris, who had got to the middle, just after the shot, using her recon clock, had now got ten gremlins to face. [Well, this death mark thing had better work!] she said to herself as she flung herself towards two of them. *Clang* as the sword hit their hammers. ‘’Damn you! You won’t get away with hurting me you blasted thing!’’ screamed Iris in anger as she saw one of the knights fall down hurt to badly to get up again. ‘’Oh no you won’t – Grace, heal them already!’’ ‘’Sorry mum, I didn’t see him fall!’’ Grace answered back shocked at herself. After three long and slow hours, the guardian blasted all five bunkers to bits. Slowly, they walked to each other. (Lots of talking about to start. You might have to guess some of ‘who said that’) ’’Err…thanks…Iris, Grace, Arena and Artist?’’ ‘’ That’s us. Now that you have the advantage of knowing my name, will you tell me yours?’’ Iris answered back to her normal self.’’ ‘’Bane’’ ‘’Ebony’’ ‘’Korin and she’s Whyyk’’ ‘’Oi, I can say my own name for goodness sake!’’ Whyyk said indignantly. ‘’As you guys heard, I’m Xeris. I’m a lone wolf at the moment, and I’ll probably stay like that.’’ ‘’Hmmem’’ (That sort of ‘hmmm’ you might make when saying ‘OK’ or ‘Yes’) replied the leaders at the same moment. ‘’We gotta go anyway.’’ ‘’Yeah us too probably.’’ Slowly, they headed to the lift. ‘’You go first Bane’’ Iris said politely. ‘’Ladies first!’’ Bane argued. ‘’Fine then. Ebony, Whyyk and Grace, are you coming or not?’’ ‘’Yeah…'' they replied. ‘’I bet you Selfless is going to get to the core first Bane.’’ Arena started. ‘’As if! Your squad haven’t even got out of proto gear!’’ Laughed Bane. ‘’But Iris is going for the angelic set…’’ Artist said with a fighting spirit. ‘’She’ll never get it before we get our three star gear!’’ The lift came back. ‘’As you said, ladies first’’ Artist said as Bane and Korin stepped on the lift ''We just need to check something before we go up''. Arena burst out laughing. ‘’For once you say something good!’’ ‘’Oi, I’ll get you!’’ Korin said with such fierceness that you would think something more important was going on. ‘’’Course you will matety, but not after we get to the core!’’ Artist burst out laughing as he shouted it up the lift shaft.
--NGH--
The darkness grew as the crew talked to the leader of the camp. ‘’Quick, get to the lift! Something is wrong and we need to get away!’’ she called to Iris. ‘’Wait’’ ‘’No, you’ll be to late’’
End of chapter two!
Grackle is something in gremlin language and E/NGH means epic/normal gap here...random i know.
give me feed back please :P Hope you liked!!!!!
P.S. i guess whyyk didn't get attacked much, but probably a little, because of nearing there private mines... ah oh well, just overlook that point for now...please

...Tear sits under a tree waiting and watching his tablet...* ''where is everybody?'' tear asks to himself ''humph - I guess I'll start the next chapter soon while I'm waiting.''

Nice chapter. I liked how you switched the point of view.

i was having trouble with that bit so i thought i'd see it from another perspective :P
the bit i'm happiest about is managing to get you in! lol.
-----------------------------------------------le random line-------------------------------------------------------------------------

One*, I'VE GOT MY FIRST 5* GEAR!!! YAY!!!**
two, the chapters coming on OK
three, delayed because of free lifts. You can blame the 3 millionth person for this, but personally i thank them so badly for this!!!
Tear. the truth is this is a bump.
*it's a vog cub coat. I'm sad for no longer having vog cubs around to pet, but i must say it's impressively powerful.
** it means i might hint on the thing (erm...i would've liked to put that in italic...anybody tell me how to? thks, tear) and make a sub chapter.

Hey, Tear!
I've been reading up on things as you've been writing them, so don't worry about there being no audience! :) I suppose I just haven't had the will to reply mostly...so, here we go.
1. Overall, the chapter design was alright. I think that it is good that you follow your style the way that you do, and I appreciate how the characters are distinct enough that the dialogue is clear. I think the only thing that I'd be looking for (personally) is more detail in terms of the setting. It isn't detailed very much in the style you are using with this story, so if it doesn't work, then don't do it. I've been enjoying the story all the same!
2. I look forward to reading more into this story - I'm hoping to learn a lot more about Iris, Grace and Arena as the chapters go forward!
Good luck with further chapters, Tear! I will continue to be reading, even if I don't reply.
P.S: This is how you italicize - use the HTML tag that says "em".

The tag is < em > without the spaces in between the <'s and the em. You put it on both sides of the text you want italicized (like so...), and make sure there aren't any spaces between the <'s and the actual text you are italicizing as well.
For more info, ask Xylka. He's the HTML master. :P

Yar i'm pretty sure i did that...
That's just embarrassing. for goodness sake -_- why god do you embarrass me!? WHY ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)
now, i just need someone to tell me bold and underline because everything I'm told by websites doesn't work.
EDIT: though i'm dissapointed at the amount i'm getting done, It is getting on quite well. I tend to...get dissracted. But don't worry, i'm getting stuff done. I'll try to add more detail now, but i can't promise anything.
P.S. yes, i was mainly looking to see if this wroked, so thank you Art

‘So, ready for today’s run?’ came the bright voice of Iris, through the gloomy drizzle that had lasted for three days. ‘Well, seeing as we’ve become clockwork, nudge nudge wink wink, I should say that yes, we are ready.’ ‘Yup.’ Came Grace’s voice. *Small ringing*
‘’Hello?’’
‘’Hiya, I just need to know, are you going to do a run?’’
‘‘Yeah Yire’’
‘’OK. I’ve been told you need to go down to the third gate, sliver king gate, and take on what’s known as the Snarbolax. You’ll all get a message from Kora, OK?’’
‘’Of course Yire. *Turns to party* we’re going down the third gate – silver king gate.’’
‘’OK.’’ The answer came. ‘’Any reason?’’
‘’Because someone needs to fight the Snarbolax. You’ll get some more information later.’’
The first stratum was an uneventful and simple run through an undead zone. The sudden change of experiences was…shocking. As they entered the forest, they looked up. The canopies of a thousand trees blocked almost all light from reaching the floor. All around them were the bases of giant trees, and the sparkling of fireflies. The artificial wind was blowing lightly across the floor, filling the forest with the eerie crack and whistle of the leaves. They opened their HUB devices, and read Kora’s message. All around them eye’s flirted through the darkness, watching them. The occasional flash of three blood red eyes frightened everything else off, only for them to return as soon as the pair of those eyes disappeared.
‘’We have to fight a shadow wolver?’’ Grace exclaimed.
‘’Looks like it’’ Art said in a matter-of-fact tone. ‘‘Seeing as you quoted directly off Kora’s message…’’
‘’Mum, why didn’t you tell us?’’ Grace continued as if she hadn’t heard.
‘’Yire didn’t tell me what we were up against’’ Iris said calmly ‘’and I wouldn’t expect her to. She’s such a strange girl – grown up so quickly too.’’
‘’Let’s just get going and see what’s out there. The sooner we move, the better.’’ Said Arena with a slightly shaken voice.
‘’Are you alright?’’ Grace asked when she heard his voice.
‘’We’re being watched. That’s all I know and it’s freaking me out. I hate not knowing who’s looking and where they are.’’ Arena replied.
Slowly entering the eerie forest, Artist whispered ‘‘what the hell is this place – ARGH’’ ending with a scream.
“And what in the name of Captain Ozlo was THAT’’ Arena said as the shot blows at the two wolvers that had jumped onto him. ‘’Also, you screamed?
‘‘The Snarbolax…’’ Iris breathed
‘’This might not end well – however, we should always remain positive’’ Artist said brightly ‘‘we’re all going to die horribly anyway.’’
Iris – however much she thought this was insanity’s claws leering over her – agreed half-heartedly. She dreaded the day when she would agree full heartedly to that comment.
‘’Ouch. Just ouch. So, why did Kora and Yire send us here?’’
‘‘Don’t ask me’’ Grace said as she fixed Arenas broken arm using the wrench wand.
‘’So now we have to go through another part of this forest? How large is this place?’’ Arena asked
‘’Three dungeons’’ Artist said.
The lift descended quickly as the energy flowed through it. Walking out carefully, the two pairs of three eyes flashed in the darkness again. Walking slowly and carefully, selfless came out into a clearing. Two paths lay, one rising above the other and the other going into a bramble full area. Just as they were going to split up, the first attack came. Three chromalisks struck from behind, all attacks connecting directly to their backs. Artist, the only one not to be struck turned around and dashed towards them. She a quick dicing slash, one of them laid split into six on the floor slowly leaking blood. Organs started to slip out just as Artist dashed onto the next one. Arena got there first, and with a smash of his sword the next one ceased to exist. The third one was shot down with three simple shots.
‘’Pesky things, chromalisks.’’ Artist commented.
‘’At least you weren’t hit by them’’ Artist replied as he stretched his back feeling the bruise where the chromalisks tongue had hit him. The tongue, though very rough, had done relatively little damage.
"Now, which path?’’ They all looked at each path. In the end, Iris stated that they should split. The paths are right next to each other; you’ll hear a shout. Agreeing, Artist and Grace went down and Iris and Arena went up.
--Artist and Grace—
Walking slowly down the path, Grace looked at Artist. She wondered. Artist suddenly turned his head, and just as he opened his mouth a pair of wolvers burst out of the ground. A split second later as Artist literally threw him self over to a wolver, two gun puppies opened their latches and came out. Grace, thanking that they came, quickly shot the gun puppies down with her auto gun. Artist finished off the first wolver; going over to the other puppy is a dash, slashed at a bit of loose covering and cut the wires. It span around and barked. Then it’s head fell to the ground in a small explosion. The last wolver had a hole through it, but no bullet.
--Iris and Arena—
Iris and Arena walked up the path in silence. A golden gate. And a key down in the other path.
“They’ll get it.” Arena said. Iris agreed and said
“Let’s see what’s behind the ghost block. A lazy hit was sent to the block. Nothing happened. They walked to the button, realising it was for the lower path, and pressed it. The leaves whistled just as a wolver jumped up. More slashes, but not so lazy this time, finished the first, and the second when it came.
‘’Guys, we got a key.’’
‘’K, just come.’’
‘’We are’’ replied the pair.
The gate opened, after a bit of de-rusting, and they pressed the button. As they walked over the gate a wave of wolvers surged at them.
---
Ebony laughed. Kora had told them to kill some beast from a race like none other.
“Be careful, it’s made quick work of most squires” Kora finished “Good luck”. The com-link beeped as the transmission ended. [This will be easy, then we’ll show how much better and faster we are then Selfless. Pfft.] Thought Ebony.
“Guys, were going on are run now.”
“Why?” Whyyk asked.
“Because if we don’t we won’t be able to brag to Selfless.” Ebony roared with laughter. Whyyk smiled her glistening smile, rarely seen by most. Most just thought of her as the typical medic, scruffy, dirty and not caring about anything except success. Ok, she did really want to be the best, but still, she wasn’t typical. But her smile would make you think again. They walked over to the arcade, hoping to drop some minerals down the shoots after the run, picked the run and pressed down. The same, easy and boring run as Selfless had done just minuets before. The eyes glared even more hungrily at them than they did to Selfless. Two good meals in one day. Great meals as well, perfect mix of muscle and meat. Good day. Walking to a spilt, the team Ebony quickly and stealthily up ran the slope, activated and switch, and did the normal stuff for a recon to do. Seeing the Snarbolax was a shock. Walking down to a small ruin, they had felt a small quake. A dark mist had risen and as Ebony screamed with shock, the Snarbolax bolted. The rest of the team rushed to help, but saw nothing. Slow progress but finally, they reached the second depth. Using their team skills, they progressed till
“Oi, Art come here!” They realised they weren’t alone. Planning on staying hidden for as long as possible, they ran into a problem. The team get surrounded by wolvers and died.
“So, what do we have here? A few weaklings who call themselves Selfless? Oh poor little knights, maybe they shou-“ That sentence was never finished as Artist energy revived write in his face, stunning him and knocking him back three meters.
“ WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR?” Shouted Ebony right in Artists face when he had recovered.
“I thought you might stop bragging over nothing if I blew you up” Artist said innocently.
“IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THAT AGAIN, I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOUR DEATH IS SLOW AND PAINFUL.” As Whyyk healed him he screamed in fury. He was starting to turn red with rage.
“Clam down, it’s not good to be in such a rage” Whyyk said laughing in her mind at Artists reviving. Selfless were laughing their minds out. Reviving each one, then getting healed Artist was happily singing to himself a tune he had made when waiting for a guild meeting. He had called it “blown to smithereens” because of its fast and explosive pace.
“Hey, isn’t that the tune you made yesterday – Blown to smithereens?” Iris asked. Ebony was now looking like a beetroot at this comment. In a silent and deadly whisper he said,
“shut up now or else” Artist replied:
“You’ll explode like a big angry bomb?” *smack*
“You’ll get a more powerful slap in the face then that weak one.”
“Ok Ok Ok, but we have to get on. You go left; we’ll go right, OK?” Artist concluded. Silence. “OK.” Artist said, answering his own question.
---Selfless
Turning left, after cracking some crystals, Selfless crossed the spikes, after having the explosive blocks shot, and entered a maze like series of walls. “Wait here guys; I’ll go in first. A shot to the air indicates come on in.” Scouting around each path, Iris had a thought [I really need cash. Let’s shoot those monster cages but not the bomb blocks] Iris ran to the key she had noticed through a crack, shot the ghost block and shot the air.
“We have company?” A rocket exploded into Grace and then an explosion as it died from a few simple shots. The wolvers, using their natural team instincts, charged at Arena just so they could be smashed on the head. The last wolver barked and ran to one side, side stepped a blade and bit Iris in the back, where a slight weak point in her Angelic regiment was. With a twist, Artist chucked his blade and cut the wolvers tail off. Screaming from shock the wolver attempted to bolt into the forest but was stopped by Iris.
“Don’t hurt it, he’s only five by my guess”
“Iris, this isn’t a great time to be subdued by cuteness.” Arena said.
“Come on…it’s frightened. Grace, can’t you heal it in anyway?” Grace looked slightly shocked
“Erm…I guess I could use the wrench wand to heal it…but I’m not really sure.”
“Try please” Grace got out her wand and aimed a shot at the wolver. The wolvers tail stub stopped bleeding, and it probably would speed up the growing of a new tail, but it didn’t heal the striking lightning scar across its eye.
“There, that’ll do.” Iris said happily. “Now, those heart boxes are waiting to be opened.” She finished as she picked up the wolver and walked to the gate. The others followed.
---Racers (Rival squad)
Ebony fumed silently as they walked over to the bushes. He smashed them and pressed the button, activating three gun puppies. He smashed one, while Whyyk was preparing a remedy to stop the burning on his face. He would get his revenge. He would be the one to kill that beast. And nobody would try to blow his face up then. He, stupidly, walked straight into the next clearing and the beast jumped up, ran straight down the opening colliding with Ebony. He was left stunned, walking around like a drunkard. Then some skeleton jumped onto him and bit his head.
“OWWW!” He said as Bane whacked it off him and finished it. Korin healed him a little with his shield, but Whyyk came and gave him the remedy. “Thanks.” He muttered as the burning sensation disappeared. Bane smashed them all and opened the gates. Getting onto an open pad, he walked slowly waiting for the spikes to go down before moving on. He coleected the key, and came the other way.
I've changed the order a bit. Allies is next, so is snarby. I really wanna write snarby.

*This post may be biased toward personal preference and contains moments of pride, opinion, or joy*
Overall, Tear, I think with this section it was very interesting to see how the different pieces came together to form this part of the story. I can definitely say that I appreciate the fact that you separated out the dialogue and descriptions - it made the entire thing flow much better, and I felt like I was reading a more developed story.
It was interesting for me to see how you used Ebony and Whyyk for this section, as I know that I introduced them to you and helped you develop parts of both of them - I understand that you could take these characters and rework them from top to bottom, so I appreciate the fact that you decided to stick with what I had originally begun for them.
I can say that I was certainly very surprised to see Ebony the way you portrayed him, but I can also see how you were able to develop this side of him from his background. If nothing else, (and pun here is partially intentional...I thought of it as I was writing this) you were able to bring the beast out in him, but in a way that it makes the story progress well and doesn't affect the other pieces to his personality. Nicely done.
Whyyk, on the other hand...you summed her up pretty well in that one paragraph. I think that it concisely stated what I had attempted to, so nice job! I mean, more elaboration is always something I strive for, but you established who she was so that the reader didn't have to ask why she was doing the things she was. I appreciate how you've given them both these really nice cameos with this chapter, and I look forward to seeing more of the Rival Squad!!
So, overall, the big things I liked:
1. Fluency and Overall Structure of Sentences
2. Character Development for those in the Rival Team.
3. More description being used in the scenes rather than just dialogue.
I understand that these were things I had been looking for from you last, so I appreciate the fact that you did those things! I look forward to more with this story from you, Tear, and good luck with the writing! At least you now have a nice summer to use...

That seems so fair, that i can't say anything about it. But thanks, i especially tried to do what you said last time and i tried to follow the rule of 'new speaker =new line'. means using alota space though.

Kanoka, Please do me a favor and become a professional fan-fic critic. :3

Especially this part: “IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THAT AGAIN, I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOUR DEATH IS SLOW AND PAINFUL.” lewl. One more thing I might ask, when are Element and them going to appear?

I've changed the order a bit. Allies is next, so is snarby. I really wanna write snarby. Hope you like my attempts to be funny :P I'm going to be quite slow sometimes, i have two other writing things: Clockwork 'Gades (Got an evil spot there :P) And the thing. Anyway, here's the new contents.
I - Getting to know the squad.
II - A rival rises.
III - A Battle.
IV - Snarble start
V - Allies - Let's kill snarby.<-- writing this now.
VI - Moorcroft and Tier two
VII - There's a lotta coin in this job.
VIII - Fire with Fire? I say Fire with Water.
IX - Not again!
X - Ember light, Tier Three and Depth Twenty-three!
XI - I wear a mask too!
XII - Heat wave
XIII - Where's the key?
XIV - R.a.c.e.
Yeah, just remember, no b/gf at the moment, I just gotta find the perfect point in the story. OMGOMGOMG, just i as wrote that i found where they would become b/gf! And, it means there is most likely to be a chapter aimed mainly on [Insert your preferred name for the squad]. I've made one already, but if you want to have your own, go ahead and tell me.

Well, I am glad to know that you are getting your ideas, Tear! You have a lovely story going on here, so keep it up! Maybe I'll have to take a look at the other fanfict you work on, just so I can see how the style differs and compares...XD
And no, I am not a professional critic whatsoever - I am just a Freshman-going-sophomore high school adolescent who loves to write and perform!! I am learning out what types of criticism I appreciate for both aspects, and because of that am able to share my thoughts on things in a tactful and genial manner! ^_^ I appreciate the compliments, though...I am honored that you'd think that of me!
Someday, I'll have to show you all the stories that me and my friend (Xylka) work on. They aren't all SK related, but many of them are...either way, until then, I will enjoy being a part of this process of the SK Treasure Vault! :D

LOL The best fanfiction writers always get ideas when they're writing things down here. That happens to me a lot! :D Well, I am anxious to see what you haz planned for Element and Sophie. I just realized... why does Sophie have the only normal name around here? XD ahem... anyways, no I do not have a specific squad name for them, but if I do I'll tell you. I thought of something lame like the Elements. /shrug Idk, you do it. I'm useless. :P

If you mean the thing, it's gonig to be a long long long long (times by ∞) time before I believe I can let it out. But it's not going to be called the thing, rather, Beta Ash Tails :D Now that I've told you the name or given you a clue, you can wait for it. I started it a while ago, so it's starts off with crappy writing and gets better as it goes along. It's fun to write. It might not be Beta ash tails, though it's likely. Cya,
Tear

I'd rather not press for details, but what the heck is the thing O_O :3 Derp.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppddddddddddddddddddddddddddddderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpdddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyderp

monsters he going to face : the same and heartless and nobody.
place in squad : leader.

I was going to write about why I wasn't going to accept this, but no. All I gotta say is, no, but have another go. Here's mah advice:
Spelling. Read at least the first bit, the thing with the prolog in. No stuff that isn't from cradle. READ WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN!!!! http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/49439 <- this is being edited :L
Sorry 'bout that, but Keyblade makes me O.o, the char himself is a bit over powered and the bio is short and there is no sign of effort in it.

bio: lose parents when skylark crashed. was train the way of the sword, gun and bomb but like a sword and gun better . he has a power to befriend monsters for some reson . at 17 teen he befriend a tribe of vog wolfs, at age 19 he befriend the boos snarblox, at 21 he befriend 5 ash wolfs.
can put in the story that he befriend more monster?
and is this good?
EDIT:
HE LIKE: nice,friendly, in batle shows no mercy if it a bad guy
facts: parents were in the spiral knight order . he has a baby brother who fights with him sometime
his baby brother: i dont know you give him a name or a person i got anything

You vastly improved in the last chapter you wrote. Honestly, I absolutely loved it, I thought the pace of the others were a bit too fast and disjuncted, and was going to comment on it, but you seem to have it down. I will say that my knowledge on the GWW is not above average since I haven't been to it in a long time, but didn't Selfless go right not left, and Ebony's crew went left. Unless I'm just not getting what your laying. If that's the case, then just ignore me x)
Anyway, I'm slightly sad there are no Solo-er spots left otherwise I would have made an app. I may still make one for the coin squad thingymabob... But I'll have to do that later, I'll probably edit this post, so keep a look out :P
~The Mighty Cheese Knight; WeeGee

have to play around with it a little, but yeah. He won't befriend the snarbolax though, because that's what i mean by over powering, because in a fanfic, things are quite a lot different. I mean, 3 squads vs. snarby like he is in game would be a roll over. He'll also be in the coin squad because of the no other spaces. This is what i'm thinking of you doing though;
Name: Firestar
Age: 21
Personality: Calm when not in battle, but if he's in it will show no mercy to the opposing team/s.
Equipment: Vog set, Aegis, Warmaster Rocket Hammer, nightblade, blitz and shivermist buster.
Skills: He can speak many different langauges, and is learning more.
Biography: When the skylark crashed, his parents died. He trained with all types of weapons, but ended up being best at swordsmanship and gunslinging. With his skill of languages, he manged to befriend some monsters as he grew up. He started with ashtails, and went on with other sorts, including chromalisks.
Additional facts: Has a younger brother, Jaygond.
Pets: Asktails, maybe a few chromalisks.
Allies: His squad are his only allies, because it is the there was only to trust each other, and that at the very limit.
Suggestions: ???
Position: Daring's Guardian, an all rounder.
But i mean it, this takes very little effort. All you needed to do was transfer your information and make a little more, than check for grammar/spelling mistakes. You still need to fill in the ???s though (well, maybe not the suggestions).
100 thing a ma jigs! Who ever posts next, you're making a new page!
Name: Ebony
Age: 15
Personality: Ebony has a very light-humored, contemplative demeanor. He has a quiet laugh, almost the sound of harp strings being pulled gently. Being used to solitude, he isn't opposed to it, but is quite friendly all the same. He has a sense of jitteriness when forced with difficult problems, but he is very intellectual and caring.
Equipment: Accustomed to ranged weapons, Ebony currently uses a basic Brandish and a Cryotech Alchemer that used to be his mother's. His dream is to own an Antigua, but is content with his basic needs. He wears a Fencing Jacket over the basic Colbalt armor, and utilizes a Spiral Sallet as his only helmet, as he also dreams to have a Gunslinger Helm to wear underneath it for more protection.
Skills: Very light footed, and can traverse terrain quicker than most. He has a sharp eye, but his hand-to-hand combat still needs more refinement. Overall, he is more skilled than most his age, but still has much to learn in terms of battle strategy.
"Mini" Biography (I can't help myself...haha): Born as black as the charcoal in the night, Ebony was an unexpected child. His parents were surprised to have had a child so soon, and had not prepared for his coming on the Skylark. With both parents holding prominent roles in Skylark Command, both working in Communication and Assets, Ebony was often left to his own while they continued their work. Despite this, he had great relationships with both his parents, despite their often distant locations. However, during a Skylark mission, his mother left her post in order to save a friend and died in a Blast Cube explosion. Her friend became a second mother, and mentored him while his father continued his work. After the crash of the majestic Skylark, Ebony now lives in Haven in some of the best housing available. However, he is still seeking for a good friend to depend on...as well as a way to avenge his mother's death.
Additional facts: Despite his very black appearance with his armor, Ebony has azure eyes that gleam out from whatever armor he happens to wear. He enjoys playing instruments during his free time, and often sings to the Snipes that live in Haven. He has a relationship with them that seems more than just natural affinity, and can communicate freely with them after some time translating their individual syllables and sounds.
Pets: Besides his Snipe friends, Ebony has never had an interest in pets. With this said, he has almost a reluctance to accept any opinion about his choice, as it reminds him of a conversation he had with his mother before she died.
Allies: Ebony, being able to communicate with birds, has managed to ally himself with the troublesome and mischevious Greavers, as well as a mutual understanding with the Silkwings.
*EDIT 2 - Weaknesses/Insecurities:* Besides his battle skill, Ebony's weakness truly consists of the times that he remembers that inability. He can sit moping for hours contemplating battle strategy, but it is never as good as that of an experienced warrior. He looks up to others, but he has been betrayed by his peers before and has a sense of reluctance to trust them.
Position: Recon
EDIT 1: With this application, I am willing to be a part of the Rival Team...I have an idea of how Ebony can fit with Bane.
