It has been nearly three decades since the Skylark returned to Isora. A small contingent of knights was left on Cradle to protect it and the Core from any power that desired to use the Core's energy for evil. Unfortunately for them, the Morai got wind of the planet and its legendary powers, and invaded it to find and steal this power. They ran into the same problem the Knights originally did: the Core was sealed shut, and the Gremlins reconstructed portions of the Clockworks to be even more difficult and dangerous to navigate, both for Isorans and Morai alike. Cradle's Spiral HQ sent Isora a distress signal, and the Skylark was sent out to respond. With its newfound technology, it should arrive in a few days. Until then, Cradle's defenders must hold the line.
As a race, the Morai are identical to Isorans, the main difference being that they are far more cruel and careless. Their weapons are more primitive and brutal than those used by the Knights, such as spears, axes, maces, slug throwers, and chemical bombs. Given the choice, most Morai warriors will choose heavy piercing melee weapons (hence the Cobalt set's normal & piercing defenses, by the way).
The Skylark is not the defenseless troop carrier you're probably imagining it to be. It's the flagship of the Isoran fleet, and incredibly powerful and agile. Its helmsmen have reported that it flies like a fighter and is tougher than volcanic iron. Among its armaments are 20 Combuster lasers, 16 "Puppy Dog" guided missile launchers, and the massive central Super Valiance cannon. It also carries several squadrons of fighter pods and boarding vessels.
In this RP, you can be either Isoran or Morai (except on my rare say-so). Neither is really superior to the other, but the Morai cannot have access to Spiral weaponry except in unusual circumstances, and vice versa.
Before you can begin, let's set up a few ground rules for the sake of fairness. Don't use other player's characters without their permission; if you do, be prepared to let them overwrite anything they didn't want to happen. Unless you're Morai, do not create any equipment not found in Spiral Knights. If you are Morai, please keep your equipment reasonable (and preferrably in character for the Morai, i.e. brutal or cruel). Do not do anything that unfairly influences the story, like blowing up Cradle. When writing out of character, enclose your sentences in double-parentheses. ((Do it like this.)) For the sake of cleanliness, when conversing with another character, edit your response into the original post. Don't make a new, separate post for it, as that can get messy quick.
