[<~~~Ooh, skip to Tev's at around the 60ish range, it has the story.~~~>]

I'm warning you if anyone wants to hear me ramble on about posting techniques at 11 O'clock, read on. Anyone sane should skip past these lines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well peeps, I told myself that I wouldn't do another Spiralstory...you know, cuz in the last on everybody died and it died like three times. And after I spent a while writing Tev was the only one who commented on it...and Frosty's gone. D:

But yeah, I decided that I was going to take a different approach to this thang(yes, that was an intentional "thang"). I'm going to open her up to rolecasting, maybe drop some links to the others...although the first isn't a very good representation of my current writing style. Then, I'm seal 'er up, and maybe start a Nacho War...just for the fun of it. If NWIIII doesn't work, then this very thread will sink to the bottom...which is perfectly fine by me.

In the meantime, I'll just be writing the entire story in secret, maybe passing a few chunks to Tev if I think they need editing, and put it all here when I'm done. All in favor of this idea say "Aye!" all of you who are against this and want me to update constantly, say "Nay!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But, enough of that...
I'm rolecasting! I need characters in by the end of the week! Just post anyone in the format below:

Name:(Anything you want)

Gender:(This one's kinda obvious)

Race:(What is your character? Spiralians for Knights)

Equipment:(What does your character have?)

Abilities:(Anything that makes your character special)

Bio:(What is the background your character? Please make it as long as you can.)

Personality:(The longer it is, the easier to describe your character)

Facts:(Just some basic facts about your character)

Storyline Improvements:(What do you think should be here that isn't? You can do this anywhere below also.)

Thank for being awesome in advance! :D

Oh yes, and if your previous character was brutally murdered, you can post a different character too.

And I'll just put some links to the prequel or the loosely related RP known as the Clockwork Renegades.

Also, anyone who was in the last Nacho Wars or anybody would'd want to join in, they're good fun, just make somekind of comment below about your joining of the Nacho forces...

If you got through that jumbled mess, than you'll be able to read anything I thrown at you. Not like I'm going to edit it or anything though, I'm way too lazy. And that's about it...expect either hilarity or my disappointment in the near future.

Tevokkia

Yaycakes!

I'm excited about this!

Well, you still have Nistaline, since she didn't make it into the last story, and I don't think Evangeline died ...

Now to think of someone new ... and to eat your nachos. Yum!

Tue, 06/05/2012 - 20:40

Isisdelltion

Nomnomnom?

Yup, I'm going to have Nistaline in this one...and Jikko (Jikoo? I dunno)...and The Poacher...pretty much everyone I totally blew off last time around.

And Tev, save some of the nachos for any new faces that show up around here. They shall be welcomed. Unless it's he who will not be named. Then commit as many of your daily passive-aggressive acts as you can. XD

Tue, 06/05/2012 - 20:47

Tevokkia

Nachos, nachos, everywhere ...

Lol, okay, I'll keep that in mind. But the nachos are all mine (and yours, I suppose) until someone else shows up. For these (my portion, at least) are extra spicy nachos!

(As a side note ... did I write Vakky alright? I skipped around on POV a lot).

Tue, 06/05/2012 - 20:53

Isisdelltion

Kay, but my nachos are as mild as can be.

I believe that you wrote him perfectly...I like it, though I was a bit confuzzled at the end...Teret dies, right?

(Well I'm hitting the hay at around 12, so if you don't respond before then, 'night.)

Tue, 06/05/2012 - 22:08

Tevokkia

Ayup.

That he does.

And goodnight! (I should be going to bed, too!)

Oh yeah .... I HAVE TO KNOW! What did Reyland say to whichever female knight that was before they walked out?

Tue, 06/05/2012 - 21:40

Nechrome

yo, 'sup? :D

Wasup? Ima post a new character here. I'm getting tired of the same old Necro. :/ which reminds me, I need to get back to writing The Core Wars... Been around 2 weeks since I posted the last chapter.

Name: Let's try something differenet this time... How about Evo?

Gender: Male

Race: Spiralian

Equipment:

Evo has a Jalovec, Khorovod, Sealed Sword, Twisted Snarble Bard, Shockburst Brandish, Brandishes (x5), Lightning Capaciator, SUn Shards, Fiery Vaporizer, Haze Bomb, Super Blast Bomb, Spine Cone, Firecracker, Cold Snap, Hot Edge (x20), Zapper, and... I think that's it (for the weapons).

Has several pieces of armor and shields, but generally wears his Drake Scale Helm and Silvermail, along with his Brute Jelly Shield.

He usually just use a Khorovod/Jalovec Combo though, with his Brandishes and Hot Edges as throwing daggers/knives.

Abilities: Increased intelligence/speed/strenght, amazing strategic ability, etc.

Bio: Longlonglonglonglong... Lemme think...

This is gonna be a mash-up of several of my various story characters. How fun. :D

Evo used to be a scientist on the Skylark before it crashed. When he ejected his Escape Pod, it crashed onto an area on Cradle where the barrier between the Clockworks and the surface was thin, and his pod smashed right through the ground. Eventually, his pod landed in an area of the Clockworks dubbed 'Candlestick Keep.'

After breaking out of his escape pod, Evo was chased around by Grimalkins, and found refuge in a small room, filled with bookshelves and texts on the Owlites. He stayed there, living off emergency rations for several days/weeks before a team of Spiral Scouts found him. He had become obsessed with the Owlites, and pledged to dedicate the rest of his life uncovering their secrets.

When he emerged to the surface of Cradle, he reported to Spiral HQ about the massive fortress he had found underground, filled with immeasurable amounts of knowledge. He also said he had reason to believe that there were several more areas like Candlestick Keep in the Clockworks, and requested a team of scientist to accompany him with his expeditions, searching for them.

Now, even though he was a scientist, Evo understood that the Clockworks were filled with many dangers, and learned how to fight. He specialized with the Troika line, which was more useful at stunning enemies and keeping them at bay than other weapons, which tended to kill most of the time (Evo had a certain respect for life. He wouldn't have wanted to hurt any living being unless he absolutely had to, and even then he didn't really.)

Evo and his team slowly discovered several more Owlite academies/fortresses, such as the Scarlet Fortress, the Frozen Outpost, the Luminite Halls, and the Palace of Knowledge. However, on one of his journeys between one academy and the other, his team was attacked by a swarm of Greavers (his team had stumbled across a Greaver breeding cave, and curiosity made them venture inside and accidentally provoke the Greavers), and Evo was the only survivor.

As Evo lay there, covered in grevious (pun not intended) wounds and dying, a Gremlin outcast from Emberlight by the name of Mechron stumbled upon Evo. Mechron used to be a scientist, just like Evo, but was banished from the Great Colony for his experiments of other Gremlins, which usually resulted in the subject's painfully and explosive death. However, he had improved his techniques, and saw Evo as a chance to prove that his experiments had merit. Besides, even if it didn't work, Evo would die like he would have if Mechron hadn't found him.

And so, Mechron brought Evo back to Emberlight in secret, and began his works. By the time he was finished, Evo was alive, and a cyborg (not that the Spiral Knights aren't already half-mechanic), with enhanced strength, speed, energy, and all that stuff. It wasn't enough to make him completely OP, just enough to make him more powerful and difficult to defeat. He also had enhanced intelligence, but it didn't really help seeing how Evo was already a scientist and smart enough. Evo owed his life to Mechron.

After that, Mechron risked his life bringing Evo to the Great Colony, to present to King Tinkinzar. Tinkinzar approved, and revoked Mechron's banishment. He allowed him to begin doing to same to other Gremlins to create a more effective military, but only willing volunteers were allowed to become subject to Mechron's operations. Evo became Mechron's personal bodyguard, as well as assistant when it came to science.

Nowadays, Evo works with Mechron, and occasionally journeys into the Clockworks to continue his work on uncovering the Owlites' secrets. As far as the Spiral Order is concerned, he is dead, killed during one of his dangerous adventures in teh Clockworks. Whenever he sees a swarm of Greavers fly around, he salutes, in memory of his fallen comrades and as a tribute to the Greavers' savage power.

Personality: Not much I can say here. Smart, strategic, adventurous, semi-brave, and all that stuff. Has a profound interest in Greavers after his incident. Feels pity for the residents of the Clockworks, since Evo's brethren is smashing through the CLockworks and killing anything in their way. Humorous, easy to get along with, etc, etc.

That long enough? :D

Facts:

Likes Greavers.
Likes Heavy Swords.
Likes explosions (science tends to create a lot of explosions).
Is obsessed with Owlites.
Doesn't approve with the Spiral Knights' habit of killing first and asking questions never.
Is trained in the arts of weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, explosives, and the art of using scientific knowledge to confuzzle one's mind, thus leading to a halt in movement and allowing Evo to 1) Strike a blow. 2) Run away.

Stupid exams.

I'd love to be a part of this, but dammit, I'm busy. I hope you don't mind if I resubmit Faust. If that's a bit problematic, I'll probably be too busy to care. Anyway, I won't incessantly whine as to whether or not things work out with the thread, but I'm hoping they do.

Ginji

Name: Ginji

Gender: Female

Race: Spiralian

Equipment: Chroma Mask, Virulisk Suit, dual Shadowtech Alchemer MKII pistols, Master Blast Bomb, Iceburst Brandish, Wise Owlite Shield or Swiftstrike Buckler.

Abilities: Has a serious disorder in which if laughing too hard, becomes comatose, all vital signs disappear mysteriously for the minimum time of 10 minutes, and heals at an advanced rate.

Bio: Dreaming of being some kind of weird comedian, Ginji traveled everywhere taking a vast number of different occupations so as to learn and develop material from as many fields as possible. It just so happened that she decided to try out as a Knight after the Crash and so she did and a Knight she became. The Clockworks were never the same.

Personality: Somewhat immature and silly. Loves to make/play jokes (bad and good), hear jokes (bad and good), be the target of jokes, and is somehow able to genuinely laugh at them regardless of level of funniness or circumstance. Though neither particularly pessimistic or optimistic, has a generally care-free view of the world and of life seeing everything as some kind of great, big, twisted joke believing that it will all end in some hilarious way. Rather insensitive of others and doesn't seem to be put off by much due to her careless and unserious attitude.

Facts: A bit on the shorter side of the average Knight. Likes to tease, toy, and play jokes on her allies, even in combat. Likes to tease, toy, and play jokes on her enemies, even in combat (especially with her Iceburst). Due to background in many different jobs, has a wide range of skills unrelated to combat (you may decide what they are of course).

Storyline Improvements: I think you can figure some out.

Kaijuhunter

Heres my character! Ive

Heres my character! Ive decided to introduce a new idea!

Name: Suzaku, but goes by the alias of Kaijuhunter. (most people dont know his real name, so they just call him Kai-san.) course i can change the name if u want, but the alias would be the same.

Gender: male

Age: 15

Race: cant technically be called Almirian, but was from a small village that used to be part of Almire.

Gear: wears a Shadowsun Stetson and a Snarbolax coat with a dusky bomb bandolier and a Black Chapeau. Uses a dark version of the Aegis, a Sentenza, and a shadowy pair of swords that look like this:
http://www.northstarzone.com/id5.html (the weapons are the ones on the top)
The short swords, traditionally called wakizashi, are deadly shadow/normal damage dealing weapons that can inflict curse.

Abilities: is almost as dangerous disarmed as he is armed. Suzaku knows EVERYTHING about the body and can pinpoint any weakness of the opponent. He knows a secret technique, the Death Touch, that targets the nerves and can cause a short, agonizing death. He also has extremely sharp senses and can usually beat 10 average knights with his eyes closed, and with one hand tied behind his back. He doesnt have superpowers, but is extremely quick and nimble and can scale some of the tallest towers in a matter of seconds. He can even hold onto a branch with his eyes closed, and using ONLY his pinky. His heightened senses allow him to even feel the most minute vibrations in the ground, which help him to locate his enemies.

Bio: Suzaku was a talented boy from the small village known as Kyora, one of the last reminders of Almire's once great power. He was a great boy who had perfect grades, good manners, was respectful, easy to be friends with, and even took care of his beloved little sister, Akiko whenever his parents had to go out. One day however, the peace was ruined. A whole army of Spiralians came and wiped out the town for unknown reasons, but because of that, Suzaku had a permanent image of them as ruthless, cunning, devilish beasts who would do anything for power. He witnessed the death of his mother and father at the hands of a Knight, then grabbed his sister and ran as fast as he could. The two found a nice little tree and lake to hide by, so they set up camp there. A year later, they heard noises. Like... Energy humming. The sound of hacking and slashing. Suzaku told his sister to get ready to leave and pushed her away. When he was sure that they were safe, he returned to their hiding spot only to find Akiko covered in blood... And a knight standing above her with a spear in his hand. The same Knight who murdered his parents. In his blind rage, Suzaku defeated and drove away the knight in hand-to-sword combat. He then returned to his dying sister and begged her to stay alive, but she smiled to him and passed away, a tear running down her cheek. Suzaku caught it in a tiny Vial and put it in his pack. When he left the place, he was confronted by a kind and elderly ninja who said that because of his strength and bravery against the Spiralian "menace", he would teach him how to kill and how to defeat any opponent. Suzaku learned all of his techniques from this kind man. One day Suzaku went out to find food for his friend, but when he returned, his friend was covered in a pool of blood... With the same knight standing there. Suzaku was no longer the scared little boy he used to be. He used the Death Touch and killed the knight, but not before revceiving a huge battle scar down his left flank. He knelt by his dying master and did what he did on the same day his sibling died, he begged the ninja to live. Again, just like that horrible day, the man embraced Suzaku, whispered goodbye, and gave his swords to Suzaku. Those were the swords that he still uses. After he left, Suzaku vowed to kill every last Knight as revenge for their crimes.

Personality: he isnt exactly evil, but since the loss of his friends, pet, and sister at the hands of Spiralians, he also isnt really on their side. He is still a battle hardened war veteran, yet he is still quite young. Hes also a great military strategist and if you were in a battle, hes the one youd want on your side. He tends to look down on the Spiralians, calling most of them "scum" if anyone annoys him, he gives them the stink eye and says "Ill bite you to death" he is quite pessimistic, but whenever the Spiralians are in trouble, he will laugh at their predicament.

Facts: has a huge scar that runs down his left ribs (will be explained in bio) and has a strange craving for sweets

Storyline improvements: havent read it yet, but it must be good, ill edit this when i see the story.

Roablade

Character!

Name: Dagger

Gender: Male

Race: Spiralian[Lime green personal colour]

Equipment: Striker, Twisted snarble barb, Graviton charge, Lightning capacitator, Freezing vaporizer mk2, Fiery vaporizer mk2, Dusker coat with a black trim, Fused demo helm with a black theme.

Abilities: Extremely fast, alert and stealthy. Trained swordsman and adept bomber.

Bio: From a very young age, Dagger was trained to be a knight. However, even though he excelled in his basic training, he gained an interest in reconnaissance work and stealth, and therefore was transferred to one of the stealthier branches of the Spiral Order. When the Skylark crashed, Dagger was immediately assigned to solo scouting and spying missions until Vanaduke was first encountered. Although his missions imply that he is an experienced fighter, his success usually lies in his speed and stealth. The reason how he acquired his equipment was through a request to Spiral HQ, so not too long ago he was still donning the proto set.

Personality: Usually likes remaining in the shadows, letting others attract all the attention and then launching ambushes from every vulnerable point. However, when he does interact with society, he does so in a gentlemanly way.

Facts: Raises a baby Snarbolax. In the future, he will be the knight who will train Teppet[The Clockwork Renegades].

Storyline Improvements: Well... the story has not yet started so I don't have any.

This turned out well. :D

Wow, it's nice to see so many apps! You're all in, though I may have to make some changes to the armor and weapons. I might have to actually reject a couple if any new ones are made...but you guys are all in.

I'm on the second chapter now, and I'll post up the first after I edit it.

Well peeps, I'm going to be away for the weekend...I think that I'll get Chapter Two finished up then. Anyways, the main reason I hauled this up was so that could ask for another two or so characters. So yeah, just lay a few apps on me, creatures of the Vault! :D

I'm honestly interested in

I'm honestly interested in this, but I'm not sure. Nobody knows a person's character than the person themself.
That said, you've seen me roleplay so you might have a decent idea of how my character speaks and functions.

I dunno.

Zydrate-Academy

Ack! Then allow me to do

Ack! Then allow me to do the... thing. The more information the better.
And try not to kill her off.

Name: Zydrate-Knight

Gender: Female

Race: Spiralian

Equipment: Mechanical/Engineer gear. Various fixin' things.

Abilities: Intellect, balanced out by a strange personality

Bio:
Dossier: Zydrate
Rank: Knight

She began work as a recruit by fashioning painkillers for sick wildlife on this planet of Cradle. However that was a mere niche, as this was not her calling. She quickly became more apt to mechanical workings, and expressed a fascination with the new planet. Her knowledge of such quickly surpassed many, especially considering her consistent field-work.
That's not to say that's her only field of expertise. Continuing with her usual theme, she's also proven to be very helpful fashioning repairs for our own technology. We lack a power source for proper recharge, but she has fashioned some of the minerals of this planet to help power smaller shuttles and scouting ships. It's not ideal, but it's helpful.

Her combat skills can only be described as... adequate. She can hold her own but her style seems to be more defensive and survivalist. She's not the more honorable knight around, but she's reliable in a pinch.

As for her personality... I can only state that she has questionable sanity. She speaks fairly quickly, spews non-sequiturs and her mind wanders with little provocation.

In a nutshell;

Minor chemical knowledge.
Impressive mechanical knowledge
Adequate combat ability
Unstable personality

Report finished.

Personality: Think of her as a cross between Pinkie Pie from MLP and Gir from Invader Zim.

Facts: See bio.

Storyline Improvements: No idea.

Oh, boo!

I knoooow! *cries* And a 'Gades post would be lovely if you get the chance. If not, I'll track you down in-game to discuss it briefly when you return, as the bit with Muren is going to get a bit weird.
Oh yes ... *ahem* You still haven't told me what Reyland was whispering. Unless that's coming out in this part of the story.
I'll give it until Sunday before I add another character, since you already have a few of mine, to give a few other people a chance to meet your quota.
Have fun on your trip! Hopefully we'll be able to catch up a bit when you get back! >.<

@Zydrate: That's why I usually create a new custom character for any story I provide characters for- I dislike anyone messing with my personal characters, and this gives the writer someone who will fit in the story, and who they won't have to worry about stepping on my toes with as they develop the character's personality further.

Isisdelltion

...hoo?

Whelp, I've got wifi. So Tev, expect some 'Gadeosity tonight. Not quite sure how I should handle Muren, so I'll just kinda drift around the subject.
But yeah Tev, if you even dare going somewhere when I get back...there will be nachos...I'm just giving you a fair warning. I am an elephant, and elephants never forget. ;D

@Zydrate: I can't wait to use your character. Tacos.

@Anyoneelsewatchingthisthreadcreepilybutnotpostinganythingcuzyourshyorsomething: Please post, as I need something like two more characters before I can really move on with the story.

Tevokkia

Here- have a character!

Don't worry hon, I have no reason to be headed out in the next several weeks. I'm looking at a potential tragic side trip the second week of August (hopefully not!) and then nothing else until Sol's sister's wedding in December.

And since you have an internet connection where you're at: I fibbed. Have a character.

Name: Crispin
Gender: Male
Race: Spiralian
Age Equivalent: About 32

Equipment: Vitasuit Deluxe, two Penta-heart pendants, a Cautery Sword, and a Radiant Pulsar. A sizable medical kit containing the usual painkillers, anti-toxins, bandages, antibacterial ointments, healing salves, examination tools, surgical tools, and all the rest of the paraphernalia required of an accomplished medic.

Abilities: Crispin is a surprisingly talented doctor for his age. He is not, however, a combatant; thus only one ranged weapon ... just in case. (The Cautery Sword is more of an emergency surgical tool, for those particularly awful-but-necessary amputations.) He can use just about anything available in the environment as makeshift medical supplies and is good with improvising.

Bio: The eldest of three, Crispin has always had a good relationship with his family, particularly with his youngest sister, who was his best friend growing up. He became a doctor partly to follow in the footsteps of his father, who was a stellar physician, and partly because he genuinely loves helping people. He was never actually particularly interested in the military applications of medicine, and spent the first few years out of medical school (from which he graduated young as a prodigy) doing charitable medical work back home on Isola(? I can't remember exactly. XD). He actually joined the crew of the Skylark on the promise that he would be able to extend the hand of charity and healing to those on other planets, and ended up as a combat medic after the crash sent those ambitions spiraling away (lol ... bad pun). The rest of his family- his parents, two younger sisters, and extended family - are all back on the home planet, and he misses them deeply while quietly despairing of ever seeing them again. Still, he dreams that one day the animosity on Cradle will end, and is willing to befriend any creature willing to extent a hand rather than a weapon to him.

Personality: Crispin is soft-spoken and quick to smile, but slow to talk about himself. He's friendly and generally makes a good impression on people, so has many cordial acquaintances and business contacts, although he has few close friends whom he feels he can really confide in. He doesn't like confrontation, and if someone slights or insults him, he will generally turn the other cheek. This doesn't go over well with particularly persistent pests, and his friends sometimes have to step in to shoo them off. Although he does carry a weapon, he won't use it unless he feels that his life or the life of someone under his care is truly in danger.

Despite his friendly demeanor and generally being well-liked, poor Crispin is utterly terrible with the ladies; he gets tongue-tied and isn't sure what to say in a potential date situation. It's not that he says the wrong thing; more that he's likely to say nothing at all. He does feel a bit lonely in that department, but really believes that there's nothing for it so he rarely actually tries anymore. Still, he's mostly happy with both his social life and his work.

He has a healthy level of confidence in his doctoring, which has been well-earned, and so is particularly hard on himself if he loses a patient and will become unbearably depressed ... until the next person in need comes along. He knows he has to maintain a calm and soothing bedside manner, and will adjust his own mood to be able to provide that to his patients. He is generally cool and professional in the face of a crisis, but will privately break down after seeing real atrocities. Because of the former, he's earned the nickname "Diamond Crispin" from a handful of his associates.

Facts: Crispin cannot swim and is afraid of deep water after having nearly drowned as a child. He has an intense love of fried foods, despite knowing how bad they are for people, but isn't particularly fond of sweets. He tends to hum when he's working; in most normal, relaxing situations, the song is a silly children's tune that they use to teach young children the names of the days in schools back home, while in intense situations it's a classical tune from an old theatre drama. He does not notice he is doing this until someone points it out, and his regular patients are quite used to it.

Om nom nom nom.

I need chapters to read. And I can't read your chapters if you don't post your chapters. :P

Besides, you told me that you'd make Necro the [unreleased confidential content]. Remember? With that alias?

Okay, okay...I'll give you peeps an update with information that none of you care about.

Well, I finished Chapter One, and I'm 'bout halfway done with numero dos. My computer was sadly lost for the pass few days (I have it now...it's what I'm using to type these very words) and I was away for the last weekend/most of last-week so no progress was made. I'm also lazy, but you guys already know that. I'm happy to say that I'll continue Chapter Two momentarily, instead of sleeping like I should be.

Actually, I'm going to proof-read and post Chapter One right now. :D

Chapter 1:

He coughed...blood. Bringing himself to his feet, he grasped on to the edge of cold stone base, supporting his otherwise limp body. More coughs, and more blood. Splatters of vile vomit stained the grey floor.

He tried stepping forward, only to fall to the ground. Dragging himself back to the altar, he once again heaved himself up, weakly standing. Putting all of his weight against the base, he addressed the source of his pain. He coughed once more, fluid dripping into the gaping wound through his chest. He knew it was a miracle that he was still alive. He coughed again. Maybe a curse.

He knew what he had to do, and the suffering that would follow. Small pieces of cloth were wrapped around his head. Not only did they keep his sanity, but releasing them would take away all of his memories. He would bear only his deepest insincts. It would be enough to survive, but he wondered whether death was a better option. Dismissing this as one of his bouts of crazy thoughts, he knew that he had to live, if only for a single reason.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a piece of paper and a usable pen. Hastily writing instructions, he made an effort to not get too much blood on the note to himself. Finally, he was content with what he wrote, and carefully put the parchment on the altar, positioning it so that it was impossible for him not to notice it.

He meticulously unwrapped a few seals, rewrapping them upon his chest, covering the gaping cut. He continued, until there was but one piece left on his head. In a blind daze, he finished his work, feeling much more in the torso and less in the head.

Who was he? Where was he? He had one last glimmer of a memory...something about a note. Looking over, he picked the paper up. It said:

Your name is Gladius.
Go to the one called Julia in Haven, she will give you answers. Tell her that you knew Icarn.
Don't remove the bandages on your chest, or you will die.
You are hunting the thing called Faust. Good luck.

~Necro

It didn't tell him much, but the thing about that guy Faust stirred up some feelings...pain and jealousy mostly. It seemed like he was going to have to figure out the whole Haven thing if he was to learn anything about his past. He wondered who this Julia person was...or Icarn for that matter, considering he was supposed to know the guy. It was all so puzzling.

He wondered why this "Necro" person didn't stay to give him the answers himself. Eh, there was no use wondering such things...he had to get to Julia. He needed the answers.

Looking down, he couldn't help but notice a giant claymore resting on the ground in front of him. Grabbing it by the hilt, he heaved it onto his back, sliding it into a wide leather strap. He made sure that it was secure, finding a second strap that must of held another giant blade.

He took a look around his surroundings. He was in some kind of large and open room. In the center there was the remains of a rusted cobalt helm, the body long gone. Looking past that, he saw more reminants of arms and armor, probably from a fight long ago. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. He reached down, scooped some up, and rubbed it between his fingers. It was gritty, and the fumes it gave off after being stirred up made him want to puke. Wiping himself off, he continued towards a doorway past the other knights.

He stepped into a hallway, and walked in silent darkness for a bit. He thought that it would have been a good time to mull in his thoughts, except for the small problem that he didn't have any. Other than that he was thoroughly confused at the vague intructions left for him. What was this Haven? Or Faust? And most of all, who was Necro? Was he a friend of his...a family member?

Just as his brain began to whir with activity, he saw the exit...or entrance. Emerging, he basked in a wave of sunlight, coming from a sun sitting low on the horizon, whether was rising or lowering was a mystery to him. Treading slowly, he felt something hit his foot. Kneeling down, he picked up a round metal object. It looked harmless, and he found the shell quite interesting. He somehow managed to pry the top half off, exposing the inner workings of the device.

His curiousity was halted by the more rational side of his mind. He needed to go back into the temple. He could've missed something important, and if the sun was setting, he would need a place to stay. Although he questioned the exact protection coming from a open building, but the place seemed to have kept anything out while he was...asleep.

But looking back at the orb, it was simplily fascinating. The constant clicking of gears and spinning of thousands of tiny components was something entirely new to him. Of course, that wasn't saying much, but still, nothing surfaced....he honestly had no idea what this thing was. At the very top of the exposed parts was a small knob. Picking up the descarded shell, he noticed that there was a hole where the knob would protrude from the...whatever it was. Taking the tiny thing in two of his fingers, he twisted it around completely once.

For a few seconds, nothing happened, but soon enough it started beeping...old systems springing to life. Okay, maybe it was more like old systems jolting painfully back to life, but Gladius didn't care. Just the simple beeping noise was foreign and mysterious to the clueless knight. As the rhythmic sound grew faster and faster, the stuff inside the ball started rapidly moving.

Suddenly, his subconscious mind made a connection. His face a look of surprise, perhaps at his own actions, and he threw the round machine as hard as he could in front of him, which was unfortunately straight into the temple. Confused at himself, he started forward in an attempt to retrieve his toy, but was stopped when the entire front of the place blew up. Actually, he was thrown back a couple feet...sprawled upon the ground awkwardly.

Dragging himself to his feet, he examined the wreckage before him. So much for going back in...the front entrance had collapsed, the smoke clearing. As a matter of fact, the place he was about to use as a safe haven had suddenly become a beacon to everything dangerous in the area. Then again, it could also be a signal for help from others of his own kind.

Maybe the bodies on the ground weren't the last of his group...maybe there were more survivors in the woods around him, people that could help him, and take him to Haven. But these knights must have been killed by something. Perhaps he was their enemy, along with Necro, Icarn and Julia. Everything was so confusing, and he was quite uncertain of what to do.

Putting his hand over his face, he took a couple of deep breathes...calming his crazed brain, tethering his mind. When he finished, he simpily walked into the woods...he would find something somewhere at sometime. It was just a matter of when fate would throw him into any other creature of his species...and fate was feeling quite like the generous gentleman.

I'll join. Using a char who is protagonist in new fic

Name: Sarah

Gender: Female

Race: Spiralian

Equipment: Sarah wears a Spiral Tailed Helm, Spiral Cuirass, wields a Proto Sword, Proto Gun and has a Proto Shield for protection.

Abilities: Her special ability is to duck and roll away from powerful attacks, which can help her (in the case of rolling from vana's mace) or hinder her (evade thwacker and roll into a demo bomb), which makes this ability somewhat useful, and sometimes can fail hardly if she rolls off a cliff.

Bio: Sarah is a survivor of the skylark crash, and her parents died in the explosion. She managed to set up a camp and survive, and then head for Haven. She is a born survivalist and will do anything to survive. She never seems to forget the fateful day her parents died.

Personality: Sarah is a warm-hearted person, but doesn't speak much, because she cannot get over her parent's death, and becomes berated when teased that she has no parents. She has depression and never tries to fight it. Sarah's sadness over losing her parents sometimes makes her stop and remember all the fun she had with her parents before they died.

Facts: As described in personality, she has depression.

Storyline Improvements: I want her to get better gear over the story, specifically.... She gets Cobalt Set, upgrades to Solid Cobalt, then Mighty Cobalt, and then Azure Guardian, your choice. Her weapons... well, Calibur, Tempered, then Ascended, and finally becomes a Leviathan Blade. For the gun, Blaster, then Super Blaster, then Master Blaster and finally Valiance. The shield, is defender, then great defender, then mighty defender, then finally, Aegis. She also begins to finally get over her parent's death. Also, DO NOT KILL HER OFF.

'Sup Treasure Vault. You may have noticed that I've been super-inactive for awhile now, and I'd like to take this time to say sorry for that. However, I'm even more sorry to say that I am not here to say that I'm back, but that the problem has only worsened. I'm probably going to be gone, maybe for a month, and maybe forever. I'm especially sorry to Tev, for I am almost positive that I'm going to miss her contest. D:

I'd probably barf up all of the chapters I've completed so far now, but the virus that has overtaken my laptop has provented me from doing so. So bye. Everyone. I love you guys, and I'll never forget this amazing community. So thanks, to Atrum, Frosty, Tev, Psycho, LoN, Azure, Kaiju, Ise, Shadow....everyone.

P.S. I'm giving full control of Vakros to Tev in T.C.R. ^.^
