Alright peeps. Lets get down to business. You may vote once. The plot with the highest number of votes will be chosen as the consummate RP in the Vault.
Seatus' Idea:
"The war creating a terrible plague, creating zombies and mutations, and an Ocean of Twisted Beings, which has birthed mutations amongst the Knights, mutations whom have half of their being themselves, and the other half being a Clockwork monster, of which all the monsters' bodies and souls have intermixed with the black and green of the wasted Ocean. The mutations are born with powers over their element.
It has also birthed a new race from the blood of an extinct ancient race, dubbed the Necron. They are outcasts for their strange abilities with metal, some magnetizing it, some reshaping it, and others becoming it.
The Swarm is at it's purest, taking Knights in the form of beautiful magenta humanoids. This is an elegible race in the apps."
Aekuryi's Idea(s):
Idea A: "The polar ice caps or some huge ice block/source of water has melted due to the waste and heat from the Clockworks and flooded it and the rest of Cradle, everyone escaping to the surface. Surviving on the ocean has become the new way of life. Floating towns and cities have been created on the water and many people use the sea, with some residing on the remaining islands. However, the waste from the massive machines of the Clockworks did not go away so easily. A few have been investigating it, and have returned, although they seem... different somehow."
Idea B: "As a result of waste from the Clockworks, the ice caps in the Enstral Desert of Cradle have melted, causing the valleys and Clockworks to flood. All the Knights and most creatures escaped, and the Spiral Order was disbanded, as most of their weaponry and facilities had been destroyed. Gremlins and Knights befriended each other and lived in harmony, war now eradicated. People moved to islands across the vast sea created by the flood, some groups even building floating cities out of metal and wood from weapons. It was Cradle's Aqua Age. Life prospered and peace reigned. However, there was still a relic of the past. Over the years, people have journeyed towards the Enstral Desert, determined to find out what the waste was. None of them returned. In later years, people began to return, but shortly after, a plague broke out, causing several people to undergo mutations. This was kept under wraps by the Ocean Committee, the reincarnated Spiral Order, who kept these mutated Knights and Gremlins, investigating them. It's even said that the waste comes from the ocean, prompting the world into a state of uneasiness."
Idea C: "Doing another combination (mine is a little more prominent in this one, sorreh), but the waste can cause the spread of the Ocean of Twisted Beings, sorta like pollution, and gradually cause the plague you demonstrated. One modification to said plague though, it could be that the plague causes the victim to slowly have their mind corrupted and turn into a part-clockworks being in some way. Meaning, if they were infected with a Wolver Strain of the Wastevirus, they would gain some traits of the Wolver, meaning they would gain some hunting instincts, sharp canines and possibly ears (とても萌 (*°∀°), a tail or even their entire body covered in fur. It varies, so they could either stand out prominently or go largely unnoticed. Same thing with other species."
Thinslayer's Idea:
"The Skylark has crashed, and the knights must find their way in this strange new world. Alpha Squad has just been sent into the vast mechanical structure beneath the surface, and HQ is attempting to set up communications. The knights are tasked with exploring the underworld known as the "Clockworks." Already, the gremlins are devising a plot to destroy them...
Some key elements of this story will be:
*They discover how the Clockworks works.
*They discover some of the darkest secrets of the Clockworks (Core! Swarm!)
*There is a villainous plot to destroy Haven that must be stopped.
*The bosses should be memorable.
*Rhendon will find and bring together the main characters.
If this story is approved, we will need players to manage the following bosses:
*Razwog
*Snarbolax (I recommend Seatus)
*Royal Jelly
*Warmaster Seerus
*Lord Vanaduke
We will also need players to manage the following NPCs who are most involved in the missions:
*Rhendon
*Feron
*Kora
*Hahn"
