Name: T'arv

Race: Gremlin (Mender)

Loadout: Mender Wand, Cautery Sword and Blackhawk

Bio: T'arv was a mender in the Great Colony, but also a researcher. From a dusty old tome, he read about the Curse of Vog, where knights would be overtaken from the fire residing in the "Fangs". He implored King Tinkinzar to let him help the knights, but was refused. Taking matters into his own hands, he escaped the colony to Haven. To his surprise, he found no medic in Haven who knew about the fangs, so he spent 20 years of his life researching the Curse and how to break it.

Personality: A very kind and compassionate gremlin, who will always help or try to help another creature in need.

Role: I suppose he would act like a medic to the team (if there was such a team) and a researcher trying to find out about the Curse of Vog.

Name: Jak

Race: Knight

Color: Green

Loadout: Fused Demo Helm w/ Military Helm Guards, Fused Demo Suit, Military Spiral Flak Jacket w/ military canteen & military vitakit (costume), Super Blast Bomb, Deconstructor, unbound Fang of Vog

Bio: He was one of the helmsmen aboard the Skylark before the crash. When he wasn't piloting, he was a technician, creating and repairing devices all over the ship. After the crash, he took up bombing. Lately, he's been working on a jetpack to get himself flying again, which is what he's good at.

Personality: Shy, unsure of himself, stutters.

Role: Pilot & technician. Wants to discover the nature of Vog's fire, how it works and what it's capable of.

KA-BOOM!!

Jelly splattered the walls as another cube exploded. Ducking and rolling beneath a shower of spikes put him squarely in front of the offending lichen, who was promptly punished with a Blast Bomb in the side. As it exploded, he jumped away and stuck another bomb in the final lichen before he landed. The sound of exploding jelly was a very satisfying one. Jak wiped his hands and headed for the elevator.

On the way up, he took out the Fang of Vog and examined it. Of course, he couldn't use it unless he bound it, but he didn't need to use it. He wanted to see how it worked. It resembled a Dread Venom Striker, except that it contained the essence of fire instead of poison. But this was no ordinary fire; it did not consume things the same way fire did. It gave things passion, strength, and anger, like the fabled Crimsonite was said to do. Wait, that's it! There must be crimsonite involved! There had to be; he just knew it. But proving it to his peers would be quite another story. He was determined to scan for crimsonite as soon as he got back.

When he reached the surface, he ran smack-dab into Thanatos, or "Theo" as he liked to be called.

"Oh, s-so sorry s-s-sir! D-did I make you b-b-b-b-b-*gasp* drop anything? I d-d-didn't mean to!"

(OOC: @Infernus-Dragneel What is it with you and cowardly characters? First it was Marmalade now this... BTW I'm Neonguard's Alt)

IC: T'arv lit the candle, illuminating the room around him. There were a few books about Owlite magic lying around, but still no Grimalkin. T'arv took this as a good sign, and opened up one of the books. For several hours, he had read through all of the books but there was still no sign of the Vog Curse. T'arv groaned. The "burnouts" were happening more frequently. He tried a change of tactics. What did all of the "burnouts" have in common? T'arv had read all of the reports and found something odd about all of them:

1) The victims had recently been to the Clockworks before they burned up.

2)The victims wielded a Fang of Vog.

T'arv paced the corridor, thinking. He passed a Tombstone saying: In memory of Ragmuth Heavensglare. T'arv was about to pass it when he noticed faint indentations in the I of "In memory". He pressed it gently, and to his surprise, the tombstone slid to the left. Underneath where the grave had been, was a small book titled Vog. T'arv stuffed it into his pack and headed for the elevator, to Haven.

I look from high up in a tree upon a pack of renegade Wolvers. There is something wrong with their fur, for it is black and their eyes glow a shade of evil pink. They seem to be carrying something amongst them, the thing glows with a light orange tinge.

They are headed to a clearing in the forest. I jump from tree to tree so as to silently follow them. When they are there I bury myself in the trees leaves and peek out. An eruption from the ground, and high-pitched screaming fills the air. The Wolvers lay dead, and amongst them is a writhing compulse of Swarm surrounding the curious object. The last bit of Swarm leaves the bodies of the dead Wolvers as a huge wave of chaos ripples the forest.

When I look back, I see the object is or WAS a Fang of the Vog. It glows that same shade of evil pink as I walk up to it. It is abnormal, for a small field of rippling space surrounds it. I reach over, and as I try to touch it a cackling comes from the forest. Swarm. At least 10 Void Gremlins walk out and surround me. Their Swarm essencd floats out and burrows into my fur, and next thing I know I am being attack at all sides. I lay on the ground and try to get up. They hit me yet harder and harder. They carry the same polluted Fangs. My thorns finally have a moment of reaction and pierce through the Void Gremlins.

They hang suspended by my thorns and I finally drop them to the ground, ans fo good measure swings my tail and volleys of thorns pierce them to the ground. They have broken one of my legs. I take a polluted Fang, and fall into the shadows back to Sanctuary.

(OOC: what I am confused is that Jak acted as he clearly knows Theo and his every moves, kinda creepy if you ask me ._.)

Without wasting time, Theo quickly walked towards the exit of the hospital with his blade sheathed, he could still feel the fire growing inside of it. He was blocked by. A familiar knight he had probably seen somewhere.... If only Theo could remember...

The knight then asked him a question about Theo who was going to explain about the Fang of Vog he was carrying. "I-I'm sorry... But I don't know what you're talking about! We have never even met!" Theo sighed as he strecthed his arms, he nodded politely and walked pass the knight. As soon as he got out of the building he stopped abruptly, he couldn't remember what he was doing and why he was outside.

Suddenly his HUD bleeped a message, it was a mail from Vin saying "Sure." Theo was confused of why a random person would send him a mail at a time like this, he scrolled down the mail history and found that he had sent a mail to the same knight earlier.

"Oh that's right!" Theo groaned as he smacked his forehead, the memories are slowly returning to him, he was going to meet the knight in front of the training hall, but for what reason?

Theo headed towards the training hall, he looked back to the knight he met earlier, he could remember him saying something about Vog..

"Crap! I just remembered!" Theo groaned again, he breaked into a sprint towards the training hall, he just remembered what he was going to discuss with Vin. Something about a curse of the blade they both wield.

T'arv turned the pages of the ancient tome, checking each page for possible details. He found the table of contents near the beginning and browsed the sections:

Chapter 1: Spells Of Darkness
Chapter 2: Spells of Corruption
Chapter 3: Spells of Summoning Imaginary Angels Who Stalk You in Your Dreams
Chapter 4: Spells of Removing Curses

He looked at the fourth chapter, but was mostly disappointed. The pages were filled with trivial curses, such as removing cursed warts and boils, or getting rid of third eyes. He turned to another page titled "Vog". T'arv tried to gleam some information from it but it was written in ancient symbols. The only word he recognized, was Sanctuary. T'arv closed the book and placed it back into the grave and looked at his gate map. The Sanctuary was down past the Great Colony, the very place he had escaped from on charges of treason. T'arv gulped and took out his Antigua.

Two Days Later...

T'arv rolled from one Scrap Bin to the other, making sure not to attract attention. After he got away from where anyone would recognise him, he stood up and walked casually down the street. He kept his hood down when he reached the supply elevator, but nobody noticed him. He pressed the Sanctuary button and headed down. After listening to several oldie gremlin songs, the elevator dinged and the grate opened to the Sanctuary.
There was what appeared to be a Snarbolax shaped like a knight sitting there, licking his wounds. T'arv finally worked up the courage to say, "Hello?".

EDIT: Darn. I guess only nice characters are allowed.

Name: Dogish

Race: Gremlin(Demo)

Loadout: Demo bombs.

Bio: He's a demo who's tries to make new bombs, however the crimson order forbids him from making everyone happy and takes away his bombs. Therefore he takes back his bombs and escape the great colony. After that, a knight offers him powerful bombs if he break the curse of Vog. Doggish decides to accept the offer and tries to break the curse.

Personality: He's a demo who's always want to be stronger and insults anyone who's weaker than him. However he's kind to those who gives him something he wants.

Why is everyone having their character trying to break the curse after I made my application? Can't we have any antiheros or knights possessed by Vog? Also, Fleet-Miss-Gun, isn't your character's name a bit... obvious?

Yeah, why can't we have any antiheroes, knights possessed by Vog, or characters who stay cursed?

Maybe my antihero recon ranger was too OP?

@Fleet: Uh... Your character is basically the same as mine except you changed the Gremlin mender to Gremlin Demo... Except less detailed.

@Vinnydime Is my character is accepted? Just asking here.

I hear someone behind me. I act like an animal and start licking my wounds, pretending not to hear him as he steps closer. "Hello," he says...

I turn and snarl, "HOW DID YOU GET HERE?! DON'T YOU COME ANY CLOSER!" I spin around, standing on two legs, lodging a full wall of 3-foot long spikes, lodging into the ground right at his feet. I hiss and let the red upon me glow dangerously. My tail swings from side to side, ready to hurl more spikes if necessary.

(OOC: So sorry that I haven't posted anything in the past few days D:)

It was a long trip passing the crowded fountain to the training hall, Theo finally reached the training hall exhausted, it has been a long time since he had been doing something that requires physical strength. After finally catching his breath, Theo slowly entered the training hall. He noticed a knight wearing an ash tail set practicing his swings which seems devastating if he used it on real enemies other than weak training dummies, but what caught his attention was a Fang of Vog that knight owns.

"Are.... you Vin?" Theo perked up towards the knight, he looked down to the burnt metal floors in embarrassment. It has been a long time since he had planned an appointment with a knight, it reminds him of the time where he ventures the clockworks with his friends and allies.

((Jak knew where Theo was going because it was obvious. When Theo fainted, doctors came to cart him off. Where do doctors take their patients? To a hospital, of course. He followed the doctors. That's how Jak knew. Remember, he wants to find out about this Fang of Vog, and few folks are familiar with it, so he is willing to go to some lengths to communicate with the owner of a Fang.))

Clearly, Theo was not interested in talking with Jak. So Jak headed back to his lab to do a little research. He pulled out his mineral scanner and gave the Fang a once-over. Sure enough, there was plenty of crimsonite. In fact, he found crimsonite, dark matter, brimstone, a sharp fang base, monster bone reinforcement, and an alloy of primal ore, volcanic iron, and shadow steel, with traces of "phear" and "misery." Could this really have been a tooth of the great Vog? Well, perhaps - the knights' own biology was just as complex. The unusually high concentration of shadow-based materials couldn't be very healthy for a wielder. The phear and misery, in particular, might be the sources of the curse.

But of course, he had to run some tests. He rummaged through his materials and pulled out a phial of phear and a mug of misery. Before he could begin working with them, he had to wear some protection, so he equipped his goggles and gloves and got to work.

First, he created a Tempered Calibur. Then, as he continued the crafting, he infused the phial of phear and the mug of misery, all the while keeping the blade heated. The result was a rather odd-looking sword resembling a Cold Iron Carver. After performing structural tests on it, he realized that the phear and misery were not properly integrated, and could easily rub off on an unsuspecting wielder. If the same was true of the Fang, he could be on to something.

But it wasn't. The two materials were well-integrated into the sword. Perhaps they didn't need to rub off on anyone; the eternal flame could do...their...work...

Something clicked in his mind. He had to find Theo and ask him one question.

(OOC: If you check the bio it says that he wants to break the curse but I guess that everyone would want to break the curse really. I'll write up another chapter in about 7 hours (need to go to school)).

Name: Althalos
Loadout: Dread Venom Striker, Wild Hunting Blade, Vog Cub Cap, Vog Cub Coat, Swiftstrike Buckler, Fang Of Vog as his 'Side Blade', Chapeau of the White Rose, Tabard of the White Rose.
Bio:
He was once one of the most powerful knights of the Rose, and his speed of his attacks were said to be at a blistering pace. Up until then, he had no problems. None. He completed every mission he was given by the Rose, and was very prideful not only because of that, but also because he won every fight he was challenged to. Until that fateful day. When the Rose would become nothing more than a legend.

Althalos's POV
The Blue Knight of the Rose spoke, softly. "I'm sorry. But I have to go." The other Knights of the Rose were astounded by this, their expressions only hidden by the armor they were wearing. Why would he want to go? Suddenly, a faint, quiet, but nevertheless clear voice pierced our comlinks sending us this message: The S has invaded H. I repeat, the S has in- The line broke off. We took off all our comlinks in unison, knowing what had happened and how all our efforts to prevent it were useless. Even from our secret base near Haven, we could hear their stomps and innocent people screaming, shouting for help. All hell broke loose. "We're too late."muttered the Green Knight of the Rose. By that time, the Black Knight of the Rose had already left to the woods, to try and become one with the Snarbolax. I stood up from my chair and proceeded to adress all the Knights of the Rose. "We now have two options. We could sacrifice our lives and use the Fang of Vog to incinerate our enemies and ourselves, but in doing so we would destroy Haven. Or, we could use our normal weapons and try to fend off the attack." I bit my lip after I said that. Since we were Knights of the Rose, we were one of those special knights who were given Fangs of Vog. We knew that, if we used the Fang of Vog, we would be inflicted with the curse that our ancestors forewarned us about. That we would die in a matter of days, if not careful. We were desperate. We needed a solution.

The Green Knight of the Rose went out of our secret base and to Haven first. He was a full-fledged Guardian, meaning that his armor and his shield could withstand even the heaviest of blows. All the other Knights went out, but because I was a coward then, I stayed behind, knowing that if I went, I would either die from being massacred by Swarm infected Spiralians/monsters or getting incinerated by the Fang of Vog. Either way, I wasn't willing to risk my life. As the Knights of the Rose died one by one, I started to cry. They were my dearest; the only friends that I could ever make. I cursed myself at the fact that I was too cowardly to save them.

A few months later, I was informed that the war at Haven was over. Haven was completely destroyed, along with lots of innocents. What was left of the Knights of the Rose were just their uniforms. After that incident, I swore to avenge my comrades's deaths, with or without the help of the Spiral Order.
Personality and role:
Althalos is very smart, yet brash, cocky, and arrogant. He works well in groups, and is best suited to be their strategist, not only because of his experience, but also because he can think up to 20 steps ahead of his opponent(s). He does not prefer to talk to people as arrogant as he is, but will accept any challenge given to him.

OOC:I'm so sorry that I had to rush this. Reasons on why it was rushed will not be revealed. Hope my character gets accepted! :D

(OOC: Sorry Thinslayer :( I don't tend to ignore you but I got things to finish first.)

"I-Indeed..." Theo smiled as he showed his blade to Vin, "Forgive me for being late....." his smile turned into a frown as he sheathed his blade.

Theo looked to the center of the room which is now nothing but burnt floors and ashes, "Did.... did another knight.... did it...." Theo tried to say the word, but he was too afraid because he knew his fate will become the same as the unfortunate knight.

"You.... you know what will happen to us.... right?" sweat began pouring from his head, Theo couldn't hide his fear by covering the truth under his hood, he knew that this will be certain unless he could find a way to break the curse.

"We.... will die..... will we?" Theo clutched his head in fear.

(OOC: @Seatus Sorry I controlled Seatus a bit in this part but it was only speaking really, and I didn't make him do or say anything that he wouldn't do normally. Also, you have permission to control T'arv as long as he doesn't do anything he wouldn't normally (i.e. Betray everybody))

T'arv responded shakily, "Um.. I'm T'arv. Is that a Fang of Vog I see there?". Seatus nodded, gesturing towards the poisoned blade, "Yes, but it seems to be controlled by the Swarm. I do not know how to cleanse it yet. If you know of any way, feel free to try". T'arv picked up the blade by its hilt carefully, and while bringing it over to the Alchemy Machine, talked to the Snarbolax. "Well, I read that you can only purge the fires in the blade by dipping it in Holy Water, and the only water I know of is in the Alchemy Machine". T'arv stopped talking and looked down. The well was empty.
T'arv turned to Seatus, "Is the pool usually dry?". Seatus frowned, confused for a second and replied "No. Why?". T'arv pointed to the machine, "Do you know where I can find more water?". Seatus thought for a few seconds "I remember a Void Zombie saying something in its final death throes about the water in the Charred Court being holy. You know, the one the sprites guard".

T'arv got up. "I guess that's where we're heading then".
