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 propulsion 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.

The monsters of the Clockworks are powerful, intelligent, and numerous. Only their numbers vary with the Tier; their strengths and abilities do not change. Their tactics are often brutal and deadly, and will challenge even the most skilled and well-equipped of knights. The Clockworks itself is much more dangerous in this story than it is in-game; there are numerous traps that will crush you, impale you, make you fall to your death, or otherwise kill you in some horrible fashion. Traversing a level typically takes all day, as opposed to 3-15 minutes as it does in the real game. Not only do the levels cycle around in the Clockworks, but even the levels themselves can change. The Clockworks is extremely dangerous, and is never to be taken lightly in this story.

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 (i.e., no power-playing); 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. Put only story posts in this thread. Do not put any story posts in the discussion thread, and do not put any out-of-character posts in this thread.

Equipments in this game work differently than they do in-game. I'll outline them below:
-0*-1* gears are basic infantry equips. Armor is nearly useless, weapons are generally weak, and shields are best used offensively, but they'll get the job done if used correctly. It's like using 4* gear in Tier 3 in the real game.
-2*-3* gears are advanced infantry equips. They are about as useful and powerful as 3* gears in Tier 2 are in the real game.
-4* gears are very powerful; imagine using 5* gears in Tier 1 in the real game.
-5* gears are rare and legendary. 5* armor is invincible against all but the strongest attacks against its resisted damage types; 5* shields are utterly indestructible against their resisted damage types, and 5* weapons will nearly OHKO anything that isn't wearing at least 4* armor against them.

Characters are not allowed to start with 4* or 5* gear. 0* gear is given to grunt troops and cannon fodder. 1* gear is given to more skilled grunt troops and tougher cannon fodder. 2* gear is given to Spec Ops units, commandos, and the more advanced military units. 3* gear is only seen on lieutenants and higher. 4* gear is only seen on the highest of leaders and select heroes who have delved into the Clockworks and returned alive. 5* gear has not been seen as of the start of this RP, and is only mentioned in tales and legends.

Here is the list of ranks in both the Spiral and Morai militaries:
-Recruit (0* gear)
-Apprentice (0* gear)
-Squire (1* gear)
-Soldier (1* gear)
-Knight (2* gear)
-Knight Elite (2* gear)
-Defender (3* gear)
-Defender Elite (3* gear)
-Champion (4* gear)
-Vanguard (5* gear)
-Lieutenant (3* gear)
-Captain (4* gear)

Application time.

Faction: Spiral

Name: Ensar

Gender: Female

Appearance: Cyan eyes, long, wavy, dark red hair that reaches down to her ankles. Viridian personal color, has a tribal tattoo on face.

Arsenal: Magic Hood, Skelly Suit. Spur and Cutter.

Costume: Ripped Chaos Cloak, Chaos Hood. Goes barefoot.

Personality: Likes blood, meat and destruction. Has a very dark sense of humor. Likes traveling in packs whenever possible, but usually travels by herself. Gets irritated easily, and when she gets especially mad or frustrated, she lets loose a huge roar.

Bio: Born into an family that didn't want her, she was abandoned in a Wolver Den at the age of one. Taking pity on her, she was raised by the beasts until about the age of 9, gaining a tattoo on her face in the process, when she ran away from them and lived in the Gloaming Wildwoods. She managed to get weapons and armor by attacking and stealing from Knights passing through. Eventually, a nicer Knight came along that stayed with her for a year, teaching her some English words and giving her combat skills. However, it didn't help her insane personality at all, and she eventually murdered him. Her personality has calmed down since then, and she sometimes goes up to Haven to steal things. Her knowledge of Isoran/English is limited, and she can't speak it fluently. She otherwise communicates with growls.

Picture:
Sort of like this.
Another view of her face.

He is always good to have around when you're feeling a bit blue. He is quite a strong fighter and if faced with anything, he will try his best. He is always aware of any going-bys. He has a good sense of humour and he likes making people happy in general. He dosent get angry easily but when he (espically if its to do with his friends getting murdered or something) lets just say you dont want to be near him... He will do anything for friends and family.

Bio: He was born in Spiral Knight HQ by his mother and has trained there from the age of 5. He had a dream to become a great spiral knight when he grew up and trained hard. His work paid off when he was recruited as a knight. He still hides the dream inside him to become a well remembered knight but has never showed it. His mother died on Isora but his father still lives. He is quite well known for completing many missions but he is very humble.

Faction: Spiral Outcast

Name: Frank "Ghost" Bullwork

Gender: Male

Appearance: Shifty eyes, normal height, red personal color, Large scar across his left eye

Arsenal: Standard Mighty cobalt armor and helm, shield lost, and Khorvod

Costume: His once proud armorhas become battle worn, and scarred. He once wore a battle standard around him to display his status, however, it has become worn down and tattered. To add to this, he painted his armor black, in an effort to cover up all traces, all memories of his time in the order. Looking similar [To this](http://www.google.com/imgres?q=tattered+armor&um=1&hl=en&biw=1168&bih=77...)

Bio: Once a Grand champion of the Spiral order, he was sent out to destroy what was thought to be a simple gremlin outpost turn into a meat grinder. Bieng the sole survivor of the ecounter changed him, it made him bitter, twisted, ruthless, and at times, a drunkard. Despite his acention into the greater ranks of the order, he never forgot, he never forgave, and he will never EVER end this quest for blood. This is what led to his discharge from the order, he was found planning to invade and destroy emberlight. It's been 9 years since that day, and he's survived in the clockworks quite well. He can navigate the clockworks very well, and is nearly the perfect pointman, however, he is not near any spiral establishments (without a disguise that is).

Personallity: Will attack ANY gremlin on sight, reghardless of age, gender, or faction. In contrast, he'd prefer to never fight a member from the spiral order, especially those of lesser ranks.His brutal, yet wise demeanor leaves him detatched and somewhat hated by his "Freinds". Lastly, he has a very harsh tounge, but will never curse in front of a woman out of respect.

ATTENTION: Although the event was stamped a horrible failure, and hidden deep within the archives, there are still a few who remember the event. ANY type of refrance to this event whilst in Frank's presence will cause him to leave.

Eve of War

Now, the day has come. We are forsaken this time.

Warrior

I stand on the front lines, watching the transparent-blue atmosphere into space. I stand ready with duo Strikers in hand. The wind rustles my hair as I see a glimmer far off in the dark void. The Morai the Knights warned us of are in sight. Judging by their speed, they'll be here tomorrow. Feron walks up behind me. "So, Lieut...you prepared?" I scowl at him. "I'm not one of your own, Feron. So quit the act. How many are arriving?"

He gives me a venomous glare before looking back to the glimmer. "More than we have."

Ugh. He was frustrating. I will fight the Morai, but not alongside this creep. He wants to plant doubts and build trust with me. I'm not falling for it. He only wants my skill in his army to gain more prestige from the General. I turn and start running, almost flying, across the ground. I jump to an incredible height before landing on a hill twenty feet away. I run across the tall grass towards the baracks, hoping to find someone who can make better conversation than Feron's malicious mouth.

Bio:

Chrisstopher is a talented young knight who had shown potential in the art of Swordmastery, he? had done countless mission which all reported his? excellent skills had granted much greater rank than any ordinary knights.

-reserved for another part-

Personality: Chrisstopher is quiet, killjoy, collective and calm. He? would prioritize his? task above anything else, which usually result flaws or other even failure in his? mission.

And most of the time, he? could be seen struggling to hide something from others. Chrisstopher is also one who would always take risks without thinking twice.

Chrisstopher would always blame someone else for his? faults, somehow he? is always able to have a strong sense of self control and is good at hiding his? thoughts from everyone else.

Additional Facts:

-Chrisstopher is scared of heights
-His? speech tone could be easily altered
-He? is afraid of Silkwings and Greavers
-Chrisstopher does not believe in any religious things

Music:

Raised by Monsters

Start time.

I crept through Haven, my hood up, looking for someone to steal from. The Auction House was packed today... I could easily pickpocket someone there. I grinned. Walking up to the counter, I snatched a few wallets out of a few pockets, slipping them in my cloak and creeping away. When I was in an alley, I looked inside the wallets I stole. I found quite a bit. One had a few 1,000 Crown bills, but one had three 5,000 Crown Bills! That was pretty rare for me to find that much. The other had nothing though. I would be eating good tonight... Looking around, I pocketed the bills and tossed the wallets into a gutter, walking away. I went by the fountain, putting my hood down and letting my wavy red hair fall down to my ankles. I sat down, staring at the sky absentmindedly and smiling. A few people glanced at me strangely, but nobody walked up to me.

As the sun fell towards the horizon, I looked up into space. I noticed that battleship people were talking about, from those Morai or whatever. There was talk of war happening soon... but that just means more money for me to steal. I grinned and laughed. I got up and tucked my hair into my hood walking around, silently snatching people's wallets and emptying them in alleys across town. I didn't get much this time though, but it was something.

Here we go

Axis

Space:

I looked out of the window. An approaching planet was in sight. Cradle. "Axis, we need you for the briefing." I turned and walked towards the bridge. I took up position behind the captain. He took a breath then spoke. "Men, as you know, five years ago we, the Morai were an invincible force in the galaxy, there wasn't any power in the universe that could stop us!" "But that was before the battle of Isora." "The Spiral Order was successful in fending off our assault on them." he grinned sadistically. "That....brings us to today, the knights have started colonizing Cradle." "An amazing energy source is supposed to be hidden inside the core of the planet." "We need to break the knights before trying to gain access to the core." Just then a beep went off. The captain groaned. "I have to attend a war council, Axis finish the briefing." I looked back "To access the core, we'll need to take out the knights." "Some high priority targets, if you see these people in the battlefield do not hesitate to kill them on sight." Pictures of Feron, Desna, Kora, Barrus, and Vaelyn were set down. "We'll be arriving in two days time, learn your targets, hone your skills, and keep your wits sharp." I grinned, if the captain was right, we outnumbered the knights, and outgunned them. This would be a piece of cake.

Another app.

another app...I was a bit bored so i thought i would submit another app... I kind of posted this on thedisscusion thread, but here it is...

Name: Rita

Gender: female

Race: Isoran

Personality: She is a kind hearted person but can become a little rough if things are not done her way. She is known to go RAGE at people and pretty much demolish them. However she does not show that side much (thankfully). Other than that she is a great leader. She can easily get distracted though. However despite her friendly heart she always seems to be hiding something...

Apperance: Always seen wearing a solid colbat helm. Only her greatest friends have seen her true face. She has a long scar from her cheek to her neck from fire that burnt down the place where she lived.

Bio: Her entire family was killed in a huge forest fire. She hides these facts inside but always thinks about these facts inside. Sometimes she misses her family and her house but. Even though she seems hard on the outside she can be a bit soft-hearted. She is quite a good fighter and her best weapon is her cautery sword.

Aresenal: solid colbat helm and armor, cautery sword, industrial catalyzer and her swiftstike buckler.

"Your sick TWISTED smile"

"Your sick TWISTED smile"
Get back to work you Traitor.
Teyailain searched for the knight that said that. It was pathetically easy, as he was smiling sadistically.
"You're the devil in disguise!"
He quickly jumped over the knight, landing on his back, doing a backwards ripping motion to the man's arms.
"If you were in the same situation as me, You'd have to do the mission as well, you fool!"
"I'm the one you left behind!"
"Stop that this instant, you belligerent fool!" "And what if I don't, Alice?"
The female knight stared in fear at the once legendary knight, her previous partner.
"A- -- - - - -- -"

An attempt

"Hey! Nivian!" A distant voice shouted.
"Oh no... Please don't disturb me when i'm peaceful here..." Nivian muttered.
He was drinking some sort of bevarage at the camp. He had been chosen to guard the cradle against anything that decided to use the core's energy for any bad reason. However it was not somewhere where you could have a nap. Sometimes hoards of cretures from the clockworks surged up towards the surface and they would have to fight, espically if it was dark. They would swarm their camps and bases leaving knights injured and hurt

"Yeah?" Nivian plainly said.
He looked up and saw his friend, pylo.
"Hi. I was wondering if you could help me with something Nora asked me to do." Pylo said, twiddling his thumbs.

Nora was the camps captian. She was hard working and determined. Bit bossy as well though.

"Andddd? What did she ask you to do?" Nivian urged.
"She asked me to go down in the clockworks and take out some jellies, she said theres a massive swarm down there."
"Didnt she order anyone else to go down with you?" Nivian asked, surprised.
"No."
"She wasn't joking about massive swarm?"
"Maybe..."
"I will come don't worry." Nivian explained with a warm smile.
"Thanks!" Pylo exclaimed beaming with delight.
"Wait, whats that?" Nivian cried, looking up at the sky, his smile turning into a confused frown.
"He turned to Pylo,
"Looks like the clockworks will have to wait" he said with a grin.
He grabbed his tempered calibur and looked up at the sky once again, squinting at a miniscule faint outline of a ship...

Early Arrival

EQUINOX

I jump onto a barrack roof and look up to the ship. I noticed something isn't right. The ship is sparkling, and it's speeding up. This could mean it'll crash today.

I'll be waiting.

I sit down, my deet dangling to the ground below. My Snipes appear and float down onto my shoulders. I tip back my head, and enjoy the sunlight and breeze while I still can.

What in Firestrom Citadel...?

The ship is being pulled quicker and quicker to the planet. It's....oh Vog....it's coming toward the baracks. I run down and tell everyone, and run to the next barack, and the next, screaming at the top of my lungs. "It's coming! The enemy is coming!" Everyone starts to get up and run, and I try to get to every barack before it hits....

Like their brethren here before.

The Core wardens scattered and called for backup as the seams between the seals lit up. For the second time in Cradle's history, the Core was opening. All shielded their eyes and looked on as they beheld a glimmering figure step forth.

Then, the great door shut, and all was dark once more.

Even a small candle within the darkest room,

Deep under in the darkness of the Swarm, Sanctuary's water glows a bright blue and green. A black and red figure emerges. He floats above the Structure, in the cross pose, and disappears, to wait until reawakening...

Impact

I blink my eyes open, squinting at the bright sunlight. I get up from my cot in the ruins outside of Haven and look outside. The ship from last night is much, much closer now. I can see it. It looks like it's... sparking. I don't bother putting my hood up as I walk down the hill towards Haven. It's gonna crash today. I felt good about it crashing today, but now that it's closer, it sends chills up my spine and makes my hair stand on end.

It's coming down faster... towards the east side of town... people are running away, but as I escape, there's a huge explosion there. The ship crashes into Haven, sending a huge explosion throughout the area. A shockwave rushes through the area, and the fire from the explosion burns my face and arms, causing me to cry out in pain. I clutch my eye, roaring in anguish on the ground and shaking. There's blood everywhere, but my face hurts so much I don't care. I get up and stagger around a bit before falling on the ground again. I look around and see the entire neighborhood is ravaged. I can remember that I passed out shortly after.

Equinox's Survival

EQUINOX, ZEN MODE:

I grin as the black and white energy fade from around me. No one is harming him on my watch.I release control....

ZEN MODE: DEACTIVATED

I wake up in the ruins, completely unscathed. I see Morai Pods. Everywhere. Somehow they survived...Damn. I hurry and run around but find no one. No one from the barracks survived...except me. I run toward Haven, and find a mess of groaning bodies. I run to a cloaked figure, and pick her up and sling her arm across my shoulder. I drag her to a safe spot under a tree.

Her eye is hurt. Bad. I am not a healer, but I can tell when someone is going to go blind. I take some cloth from the bottom hem of my Stranger Cloak, and rip it in half. I tie one long strip across her head to cover her wounded eye, and the other to tie her to a tree. I quickly run off again. I see a camp in the distance, and two moving figures. I run in their direction.

"Hey, you two," I say quickly, "Can you help? There are wounded people in Haven, and I need someone to take care of them. We need to hurry before the Morai wake up." I glance nervously at a pod five yards to the left of where I'm standing. It has Axis scribed onto the side...

Picked up!

A girl in Angelic armor stood in the midst of the ruins, surveying the damage. She was saddened by all the death and destruction she had witnessed, and desperately wanted to help and heal the wounded.

But before she could begin, a strange man picked her up and carried her off, saying, "You shouldn't be in the middle of a dangerous place like this. It's not safe."

...the nerve of that man!

She twisted off of him and brushed herself off. "I can run on my own, thank you very much!"

As they ran, she asked him, "What's your name, good sir?"

Crash landing

"What the hell?" That one phrase ran through my mind. The mothership had crash landed some...thing had drawn it in closer. I opened my escape pod, and donned my viper hood. To my right I see three figures, just staring in horror. Witnesses. I throw three corrosive destroyers at them. The bombs released an initial blast, while it released toxic fumes into the air. I attach the bottom part of the hood which covers my mouth and nose. I run, I need to find backup, and fast.

Equinox's Irritation

EQUINOX

I quickly cover my mouth and kick the gas bombs far, far away. The Morai male is gone. I look around, and see the Pods starting to open. "We have to get to a safer place. Stay here, I have to go get someone." I run again, jumping on the wreckage of the ship to avoid the Morai. I land at the tree, untie the girl, and run off towards the camp again. I see a lone girl, Valkyrie, standing amongst the ruin. I jump down and barrel right to her, picking her up over my other shoulder. I laugh. "You shouldn't be in the middle of a dangerous place like this. It's not safe." I run faster towards the camp...

Meeting on the Run

EQUINOX

"Oh! Well, I'm Equinox, and this is the apocalypse." I joked, gesturing to the ruin around us as we ran. "And no, I don't go picking people up for sport. But on this day, something tells me that I should be picking up allies, since, well," I point to the Pods everywhere. "allies might be scarce for awhile..." I finish. A Pod opens up, and a Morai steps out. As soon as he sees us advancing towards him, he readies his gun, but I pull out my duo Strikers an hit him on the back of the head with the handle, and he cripples to the ground. "Hope the Wolvers don't eat him."

She gives me a funny look. "Why?" I am quick to respond. "He's done nothing wrong, nor has anyone. You're an indigenous person to this land as well, not just one of the Knights posing. We should get along great." We reach the camp....

Or you'll what, Alice? "I'll- I'll. . ." Alice had no need to respond, as a loud crash resounded, surprising the two.
"Or I'll kill you!" "Hmph, You had to do that plenty to other knights during The Mission. Shall we at the very least find out what that explosion was?" "Fine, but I will stop you If you try to kill any more Knights."

Gwen deactivated her battle armor, shook out her silver hair, and stretched. She noticed many wounded knights nearby, and they were being attended by a healthy-looking young man. Gwen knelt beside him with his current patient.

She touched his knee and introduced herself. "Hey, I'd like to help out. I'm Gwenyvier; what's your name?"

I run back to Haven, and find a man with extremely long hair. "Hello, sir, could you help us attend the wounded? We're just at that camp over there." I point at the small light coming from the campfire about 50 yards away. "If you can, come. We'd appreciate the help." I start running again, not waiting for an answer.

I skid to a halt in front of the cloaked girl. I crouch down, and grab a handful of grass from the ground. Checking no one was looking, I lit it on fire, and waved it under her nose. She wakes up, and instantly grabs her face and groans. I gently prod her hands away and smile. "I can't do much, but I can take some of the pain away." I carefully scoop some wet dirt from the ground, and water it with my canteen. I smooth it over her injury, and she sighs with relief.

"It won't help it heal, so we still need some kind of doctor..." I say to her. She has a sort of rebellion in her eyes, like independency born from a lone wolf. I find it incredible....

I stand up and see the man from a few minutes ago come over. "Great to see you can help," I say. "Do you have a Vitakit?" He nods and hands a spare over to me. I grab it and crouch back down in front of the girl, and takes some of the glowing red paste from the kit. I clean the rest of the mud off with my canteen, and tenderly wipe the paste over her wound. It almost instantly sinks into the wound and start to heal it. "Thanks," I say to the man.

I stand, leaving the Vitakit with the girl if she needs it. I go to a nearby tree, seeing how it's growing dark. "Everyone find a place to sleep." I say. I climb up the tree with ease, and curl up amongst it's securing branches. "Itls been a long day..." I say to myself...

Damage

I'm awoken again by the smell of smoke. My body jerks up, and my face starts hurting again. I moan a little and grab my face. I can't see very well out of my burned eye. I can see a Stranger in front of me, who pushes my hands away gently, and says a few words in English I can't understand. He takes some damp earth and spreads it over the wound. I sigh with relief, most of the pain gone. He says some more words that I can't understand. I'm leaning against a tree, tied to it by a weak knot. A man with a small box comes by. The man hands the box to the Stranger, who then wipes off the dirt, and puts some weird red paste on my face. I can feel it sink in and heal my burns... but I still can't see out of my burned eye. He leaves the small box with me, climbing up a tree and into one of the branches. I undo the knot tying me to the tree. My arms sting all over, and I look at them. Skin is peeling off, and it looks badly burned. It must have been when that explosion happened. I rub sone of the red paste on it, and I wince as it stings even more. With sone difficulty, I get up and look over Haven. There are little metal pods everywhere, and the buildings are ravaged from the explosion. I feel hungry, so I go to look for something to eat. As I walk on the streets of Haven, I see a man running about. He's wearing an odd hood and strange-looking armor. He frantically looks around when his eyes settle on me. He rushes away quickly before I can react. Weird. I eventually loot a destroyed shop, taking a loaf of bread and running off back to where the camp I awoke was.

Faction:
Spiral Order.

~~~~~~~

Name:
Jason Alexander

~~~~~~~

Gender:
Male

~~~~~~~

Appearance:
He has medium-length brown hair that only just touches the collar of his long-sleeved golden-colored shirt, his fringe laying just below his short, black eyebrows. His golden-looking shirt rests on his porcelain-white skin, which only compliments his lapis-blue eyes, which are framed by short lashes. His shirt is mostly covered by his black suit, his buttons unbuttoned. His suit covers the top of his black pants which reach down to his ankles. which do not restrict movement as much as you may think. His black socks are comforted by his black sneakers, which always seem to have their short shoelaces untied.

~~~~~~~

Loadout:
Nothing except his usual wear(appearance).

~~~~~~~

Bio:
Jason was born into a noble family and so had high expectations. He was a natural genius, and baffled the teachers with his knowledge. His parents were proud of him.

But that all changed one faithful night. He was just 14. Paid assassins broke into his house in the midst of the night. Their only mission was to kill Jason’s father, as he had a debt he did not pay yet. The assassins made quick work of killing Jason’s father, but, shortly after the death of his father, were given new orders to exterminate everyone in that house.

Eavesdropping on this, Jason ran through a secret exit out of the house, tears brimming to its full as he made his hasty escape, carrying nothing with him.

Running through the sorrowful rain, Jason was breathing heavily, just trying to run away from the fate that took his parents from him. He reached the river at last, but at that time he was extremely hungry. A stranger in a black cloak, seeing his plight, offered him bread. Jason was too enervated to not take up such an offer.

After Jason finished eating, the stranger was about to leave. Jason ran after him, anxious to find some way to exact revenge upon his enemies. The stranger, seeing his dedication, revealed himself to be a master of the dark arts, and took Jason under his tutelage.

When Jason was old enough and had finished his training, he joined the Spiral Order to find out more about how his parents died, though the Spiral Order did not help him. Jason, still relentless, hacked into the mainframe of the Spiral network, and found out that the ‘Morai’ killed his parents. He located a small Morai camp, and using the dark arts he learned, he destroyed all the Morai there, not even leaving a single trace. This led to the suspicion of Jason destroying the Morai there by the Spiral Order, but they thanked him for that and moved him to the Captain rank. However, he declined, and stated that he wanted to be an assassin. A contract killer. That would be his profession. He still keeps the Captain rank badge, though.

~~~~~~~

Dark Artes:

Book of Darkness-
Jason summons a magical book that materializes on his hand. It enhances his magical powers tenfold, and allows him to use powers he can’t use if he doesn’t use the book.

Chaos Bow-
A dark bow that has darkness radiating around it materializes on his hand, and when the string is pulled back, a chaos arrow forms. If the string is held for longer, the arrow, speed and power of the shot will become more powerful. It can shoot arrows for an infinite amount of times, but will break instantly if the enemy manages to land a hit on the bow. The bow and arrow physics work like any other bow and arrow, with the exception that the Chaos Bow is stronger than normal bows.

Dark Aura-
A dark aura surrounds Jason, increasing his strength, agility, reflexes and instinct tenfold.

Shadow Shot(Book)-
Jason mutters a few words and 10 spheres of darkness get shot out of the book. They move quickly to a place that is high above the designated target, before they combine and shoot down like a lightning bolt that shoots down on the opponent. If the opponent manages to dodge it as it hits the ground, the ‘lightning’ bolt will not continue tracking the opponent. Instead, it will disintegrate.

Dark Pillars-
Jason kneels down and puts his right hand on the ground, causing four pillars of darkness to rotate around him at a constant speed for a few seconds, before they disintegrate into thin air. If any sentient being touches a pillar, the other pillars will move towards the opponent and hit the opponent.

Teleport-
Teleports Jason anywhere 5 metres-1 metre away from him. It is an instantaneous teleport, meaning that it has no startup lag nor ending lag whatsoever. However, it takes up a bit of his health every time he uses it.

Invisibility-
Turns Jason invisible for at max, 2 minutes. Any attack he pulls off during that state will be invisible as well, and will not make a sound. However, it has a cooldown of 15 minutes.

~~~~~~~

Personality
Jason is calm and calculating, but can make friends easily. He is kind and warm-hearted, but despises evil, and despises the Morai even more. If a Morai is within his sight, he will not hesitate to destroy it without mercy, even if it is different than the others.

~~~~~~~

Notes:
-More skills are to come, that will be revealed in the story. The skills listed here are his basic ones.
-Jason can sometimes go out of control, and will not be able to control the darkness in him for a short amount of time. In the time that he goes out of control, he will have complete control over the dark arts, though it will only last for a short amount of time before he reverts back to his normal self.
-Jason does not have any armor, nor does he have weapons or shields. He only has his usual wear, his book, and his magical abilities.
-For the record, Jason is around 18 years old, which is why he can't control his powers that well.

Music:

Infernus-Dragneel

Everything was all fine until I saw it coming.

I woke up to find myself in ruins and debris piling on top of me, the cloud of dust had still remained and clouded my vision from anything else other than my own pool of blood. My body felt numb as if it never existed in the first place, I could no longer feel or control my senses- it was painful in a sort of way. "H-help!" I shouted out in despair, there were no answers at all. When my visions became clearer, I saw the same old Haven- now in shamble and ruins, the blue clear fountain had been tainted by blood and corpses of unfortunate knights. I tilted my head slowly and I could see many escape pods, much like the ones we all came out of. Could this be an invasion of sort? It was a smart move for them to destroy the heart of our small civilization in Cradle.

Everything was all fine until I saw it coming. The same repetitive day as always, strolling around the busy street of Haven while checking for mission updates, for a moment there I wished for something interesting to happen today- guess I spoke too soon. A mother ship or something of sort came down to Haven at great speed, many tried to escape their fates but they couldn't. Perhaps.... was I the only survivor? Why me of all people? My thoughts ceased as I saw sudden movements, a knight in tattered cloak cautiously wanders the street of Haven- If you could still call it a street.

"H-help!" I continued to shout, hoping that she would notice me. But I was wrong, she didn't notice me, instead she quietly looted a destroyed shop and took some of the food still left in it. She then left in a hurry, leaving me alone once again. "Help.... me..." I croaked quietly and fell unconscious once more.

More Story!

Gwen counted the wounded. Thankfully, there weren't very many knights in Haven during yesterday's crash, but the ones who were there suffered greatly. There was a young blue Dusker knight they'd rescued from under a pile of debris; there was the redheaded girl with the wounded eye who had just come back with some supplies she got from unknown places; there was a knight in black Solid Cobalt armor who was relatively uninjured besides various bruises and a misplaced bone or two (which Gwen had set back into place); and there was a Knight Elite in Solid Cobalt who kept trying to stand on his injured legs. There were about...a hundred more laying around Haven, in various states of consciousness and injury.

Then there were those who weren't wounded. The Wolver knight was a real darling, helping out as best he could with the wounded knights. There was the very tall man, Equinox, who had carried Gwen here. And then there was Gwen herself.

She knelt beside the knight in black Solid Cobalt, removed his helmet, and applied a wet cloth to his sweating forehead. "How are you doing, sir? Is there anything I can get you?"

Anubis

I woke up today to an enormous crashing sound, with the entire tunnel shaking. Since earthquakes never happen in Cradle due to a lack of plates to smash together, that meant something very big just hit the thin surface of the planet. I had to see what was happening, even though going to haven would be a very bad idea. "Rex, Rover, stay put" I said to my Voltail and Rocket Puppy, respectively, even though the latter couldn't really move. I quickly ran down some monsters, reached the elevator, and went up. The arcade was a wreck, with parts of the roof caved in, only light provide by warning lights flashing, and knights huddled in the corners. Good, I would be safe as long as I didn't go near the corners of the room, and didn't make much noise

Safe and sound.....at least for now.

EQUINOX

I stare down from the tree, looking at everyone. But, there is movement. It's definitely a Knight, since Morai can only go at two speeds: Speed walk and run. I see a figure on the ground in Haven, looking through the eyes of my now scouting Snipe, Lumino, while Umbra provided me such sight. I jump down from the tree, and as I pass the Valkyrie I touch her shoulder. "There's an injured Knight in Haven. I'm going after him. Watch the camp."

I start running, wind burning my lips at the speed I'm going. I jump, and land next to this moaning Knight. I pick them up, but five Morai are instantly around us. I let the Knight on the ground, and go into a cross position, my arms outstretched, my tpes on end. I look at them and whisper, "Do you threaten mine and this Knight's lives?" They laugh at my formality, but take out their weapons, all swords.

Idiots. That's a yes.

I jump into the air, and they are caught off guard at how high I can go. I drop behind them and spin, and three of their head fall onto the ground. I am right in front of the other two, scissorblading their heads to the ground. I pick up the wounded Knigbt and run to camp.

When I get there I grab the Vitakit and take the red paste, rubbing it on the Knight's face. He sighs and closes his eyes as I treat the open wounds. Finally, I give him the pack to use if he needs more. I call out to everyone, "Friends! The Morai have shown official harshness to our lives! It is time to declare, this is war! As such, we must gather those we can! We MUST protect the Core as well, for it is what they want! We will begin our journey tomorrow! For now, we must rest." I jump into my tree and curl up, sleeping.

Gwenyvier, the...Valkyrie??

As Gwen attended to the wounded, Equinox touched her shoulder as he passed and said, "There's an injured knight in Haven. I'm going after him. Watch the camp." She nodded, and he darted off.

Unfortunately, his warning was well-founded; several more Morai approached the camp after Equinox left and started stabbing the wounded. Gwen drew her flourish and impaled the first offender. His armor stood no chance against this fine Spiral blade. As another Morai was about to stab another wounded soldier, she shot herself at him and sliced him in twain.

Now she had gotten the attention of his comrades. They stopped stabbing the downed knights and charged at her. As they approached, she spun her blade and beheaded their leader. The man behind him swung his sword and struck Gwen on the chestplate, knocking the wind out of her. Two more tried to follow up on this success, but hit her shield. She bashed them both in the face, kicked one in the groin, and headbutted the other. She twirled and sliced them both in the gut as they fell.

One more Morai approached. This one wore Plate and a Medieval War Helmet. He charged his Troika and swung it overhead. It landed with a tremendous crash and missed Gwen by mere inches, but the explosion sent her flying. She landed on the soft grass, brushed it off, and rolled out of the way of a second charge slam. The hulking warrior swung his troika and slammed Gwen's shield. She attempted to thrust into a break in his armor, but she hadn't anticipated the second swing of his combo, and she was slammed against a nearby rock. Then, the trooper whipped out his Magnus and took aim.

A shot rang out in the darkness.

And a ricochet.

"Axis, come in!" A spark cracked on the com unit. "Yeah I read you." he replied casually. "We got a squad raiding a medical camp, they need backup, the leaders been killed off, and it seems we're being beaten back." "On it." he replied. "Well? Let's go!" he growled to the pack he had rounded up. 16 shadows descended onto the camp. All hell broke loose.

Unwitting Escape

Non-sequitur: I'm watching Doctor Who as I write this, and I'm on Episode 5 of Season One :D

-----

As I chew the loaf of bread with my canine teeth, I can feel a nagging suspicion about earlier. The buildings on the street were mostly destroyed, but I could have sworn that I heard a voice from one. When I was looting the bakery, I pushed it aside as my imagination, but now I feel that it was real. Dark shapes are moving about that make me uneasy even for one raised by Wolvers. That Stranger that saved me earlier jumps out of the tree and runs down the hill. I leave the bread under the tree and walking back on to the still-ravaged streets. I manage to find my way back to the bread shop, and I look around. I sniff the air, smelling blood. A knight? I track the scent down until I get to a destroyed building. There's chunks of concrete all over the place, and I lift them up, tossing them out of the way. There's nothing there but a pool of blood. Must have been a killed Knight here not too long ago. I hear a commotion from the camp, and I see shadowy figures descend on it, attacking the figures. Finally! A fight. I take my Spur and Cutter out, roaring an battle cry and charging forward. There's people with odd-looking armor, but I don't care who I hit. I send a few energy bolts toward one, knocking him out. I finish him off before he hits the ground and spin around, striking against hard armor. A man in heavy armor turns around towards me. I look to the side, quickly, and notice a gunman pointing his weapon at a girl against a rock. I dash forward, and just as he fires, I swing at the bullet. Fortunately, I manage to deflect the bullet. On the other hand, it deflected against my face, sending a gash on it. I roar in fury, charging towards him.

Commissar Gorr'Khazaim, Morai Guardian

Khazaim took aim at the young knight and fired, hoping to blast her sword away, but the shot was deflected by a hooded knight with a strange curved blade. The shot went into her face and she howled in pain. She charged at him, and he responded with a precise smash aimed in front of her. It didn't hit her, but he was counting on that. The explosion sent her flying over his Troika, and she smashed into his shield.

[power play warning]

The blow knocked her unconscious. He didn't want to kill anyone, unlike his comrades, but rather capture a few knights and find out what was going on with this blasted planet. He picked up the girl in the winged helm and raiment, slung her over his shoulder, and hauled her back to the Al'truis.

She wasn't very heavy.
______

Gwen awoke in a cell. Her armor had been deactivated, and her clothes were on wrong. She righted them before getting up and looking around. Sitting outside the cell was a tall, buff, medium-skinned man in a formal military outfit. He'd be handsome if he took the trouble to shave. He turned around and said in a deep, gruff voice, "Good to see you awake, ma'am. Just so y'know, the girls have checked your clothes. Your...modesty was maintained." Gwen nodded and leaned on the bars. The man continued. "High Command wants to keep you here because they think you're generating a lot of energy." Gwen shrugged and decided to introduce herself.

"My name is Gwenyvier, but you can call me Gwen. What's your name?"
"Khazaim."
"Uh...nice name. What does it mean?"
"Uh...well...unflinching."
"Why were you called that?"
"Well, it's because I...I...well, it might be a bit impolitic to say, but..."
"It's okay, spit it out."
"Ha ha okay, well, it's because during the Isoran Revolution, I was known for never flinching when under attack."
"That's pretty admirable."
"You think so? Uh...thanks. Oh! I believe security is here."

The guards arrived and opened the cell. They put cuffs on Gwen's wrists and escorted her through the broken corridors to the bridge entrance. One of the guards went in for a moment and returned. "Captain Kyrto will see you now."

Gwen was escorted in, and she was brought before a short man (about 5'4") in highly-decorated military uniform. He looked her over and nodded with approval. "You look pretty good for an Isoran. Are you from around here?" Gwen chose not to speak. The captain poured a glass of sparkling cider. "Take off the cuffs, men. I doubt she'll attack us." Reluctantly, the guards removed her cuffs, and Kyrto handed her the glass of cider before pouring himself a glass. "Thank you, captain" Gwen said politely. He nodded and took a sip, then gestured to a nearby chair. She took a seat in it, and the captain pulled up a chair and sat in front of her. The rest of the bridge crew was watching and listening with great interest.

"What's a pretty lady like yourself doing fighting in these parts?"
Gwen took a sip of the cider. "I was taking care of the wounded knights affected by the crash."
"Why did you attack my men?"
"Because they were killing the wounded. I'm sensitive about that."
Kyrto frowned. "Hmm. Well, I can understand why you'd defend them."
"Thank you captain. I knew you would." She took another sip.
"Did you now? How so?"
"Intuition, mainly."
He gulped down his cider. "Intriguing!"
Gwen set down her glass, folded her hands and leaned forward. "But I think you had a more pressing question in mind, hmm?"
The captain put down his glass as well. "You think correctly. I wanted to know why you appear to be generating so much energy."
"And whether you can access it," Gwen added.
The captain blushed. "Well...yes, ideally." He took out his pipe and lit it. "Smoke?"
Gwen pulled out her divine pipe and let him light it. The captain spoke again.
"Our sensors detected a massive energy source at the core of the planet. Do you happen to be related to it?"
Gwen paused. "What if I am?"
"Then we would like you to show us."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then we'll make you."
"And how do you plan to do that?"

The captain puffed a little on his pipe before answering. He showed her a large red button on the console. "I am not averse to taking a few lives for the greater good. This button will launch a volley of nuclear missiles that can wipe out the knights' garrison within mere moments." Gwen's eyes widened. "You wouldn't!..." The captain grinned. "Oh, but I would! That is, if we cannot find the source of this planet's power." Gwen let out a deep sigh, puffed a few rings from her pipe, and said, "Okay, I can take you there. The path is extremely treacherous and deadly; many valiant knights have lost their lives exploring the world beneath the surface. Consider yourself warned."

The captain leaned forward with interest. "A world beneath the surface? Now you simply must show us. Lead the way, madam." Khazaim helped her out of the chair. Kyrto summoned several squads of men. Gwen laughed. "You're going to need more men than that, captain." Kyrto felt himself grow a little nervous, but he brushed it aside. He called up several more squads, then looked at Gwen to see whether she approved. She nodded and smiled, so they all began their march to the Haven Arcade.

Little did they know what perils awaited them down below.

I stood on the grey stone floor, leaning against a marble pillar that was at least four times my height. Knights who came into the Arcade looked at me in confusion; they probably wondered why I wasn't wearing armor. The whole Arcade was dimly-lit; the only thing that lit up the place were the eternal-rotating gate totems which stood along the north edge of the Arcade. On the west sat Sullivan, sipping his lukewarm coffee, with his costumes and goods that could only be bought with Krogmo coins, only obtainable through King Krogmo himself. I sighed as my eyes started to close before me, turning the blue entrance that stood in front of me into a blurry light.
(Warning: Powerplay alert)
"Move outta the way!"a voice demanded. I was awoken. Looking at the entrance, I spotted a silver-haired girl walking towards the Dark Lion gate, with an army of knights following behind her. Seeing as how I was an Arcade attendant(which I did not like being; it was just a cover), I walked over to the girl to ask her a few questions.

"I wouldn't advise going there. Only the strongest of knights have ever survived there-"I paused for a moment, before continuing. "And the farthest they've been, even with their army, was Depth 7. If you're really going to bring infantry like that-"I pointed to the army behind her, before moving my hand back to its original position. "Then I wish you good luck. Because you're not really going to survive well. Anyway, my name's Jason. By the by, who are these guys? And who are you? I've never seen any of you come to the Arcade before, so it's mandatory for staff of the Arcade to know the names of their visitors."

Curiouser & curiouser...

A young man in a black tuxedo stepped in front of the procession and halted it. Kyrto bellowed at him, "Move outta the way, son!" He ignored the captain and approached Gwen. "I wouldn't advise going there," he said ominously. "Only the strongest of knights have ever survived there, and the farthest they've been, even with their army, was Depth 7. If you're really going to bring infantry like that-" he said as he pointed to the army behind her, "then I wish you good luck, because you're not going to survive." Gwen nodded and smiled reassuringly. She touched his cheek, and in an instant, he became aware of how well she knew the Clockworks. How did she do that?

He suddenly wanted to become better-acquainted with her. "My name's Jason. Who are you? And who are these guys? I've never seen any of you come by the Arcade before, and it's mandatory for the staff of the Arcade to know the names of its visitors."

Gwen laughed. It was a very pretty laugh, not annoying like that of so many teenage girls skipping around Haven in revealing Emberbreak armor. Her voice nearly sang. "My name is Gwenyvier, but please, call me Gwen. These are my friends, Commissar Khazaim, Captain Kyrto, and the captain's loyal servants." Khazaim blushed and bowed. Kyrto merely grunted. Gwen curtsied and said, "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, mister Jason. Would you like to accompany us on our mission to the Core Terminal?"

"Crap." Axis surveyed his surroundings, he'd lost five men to the man in the stranger coat. The stranger was skilled, but the Morai had grown rusty over the long voyage to Cradle. Nothing a few skirmishes wouldn't fix. "RETREAT!" Axis yelled. He held up his com unit, it displayed a signal in the building near them. It was the captain. The stranger just grinned, a toothy canine like smile. He ran in, and was shocked to discover some of the crew present, including Kazaim. Axis rushed over to the captain. He flashed a quick salute, then nonchalantly started to speak. "Thinking of ditching us?" Axis grinned. "Hope you'd make it." Kazaim said. The hulk of a Morai was one of the best warriors in the army. Kryto proceeded to fill him in on what had happened.
