The year is 2987 AD. It's been a full century since the Isorans first made contact with the Clockworks, and the battle between the Spiral Order and their new enemies has been raging on for far too long. With scant supplies and a dwindling amount of soldiers, the Isorans have been pushed back to the stronghold of Haven. Desperate and with nowhere to go, they built gargantuan walls to guard against their goes, and have lived in peace for the 30 years that the walls have been up. That's all about to change...

The Gremlins have pushed forward and emerged from the Clockworks, bent on destroying the Isorans. They seem to have created entirely new life forms, constructs, and weapons, including monstrously enormous humanoid beasts called the Titans, along with mobile Roarmulus units, advanced arms that easily put the Order's best gear to shame, and many more unknown terrors. The other inhabitants of the Clockworks seem content with their current habitats, and as such, the Gremlins, along with their creations, are the Isoran's only enemy.

Trapped within Haven and running out of food, soldiers, and most importantly, time, the Isorans must fight back.

Your story begins in the year 2987, and you are just another citizen, aspiring to join the Order's armed forces. Motives vary, and yours are known only to yourself. You have trained for several years in boot camp, and today is the day you choose which force of the military you wish to join.

The first and most popular choice is the stationary guard, the Barracks. Should you choose this section, you will be posted on top of the walls, wielding Tungsten Cannons, Crystal Energy Assault rifles, powerful mineral-charged sidearms, and sniper rifles that utilize ancient, yet still devastatingly effective relics of war; the traditional bullet, along with a whole plethora of other weapons and turrets. Your job is to destroy all hostiles that approach the walls, thereby protecting the people inside.

The second choice is the Military Police. You are the everyday law enforcement units, charged with directing the flow of travel and trade, enforcing the law of the Order, and overall keeping general peace in the city of Haven. Only the best are allowed join this unit, and since the Military police force is safe within the walls along with the other citizens, those best suited to fight against the beasts at Haven's front steps are often the ones that end up not fighting at all. Most trainees only join the military so that they can get into this unit, as the Police receive lavish pay, government benefits, and frequently attend fancy banquets.

The last branch is known as the Assault Corps. Trainees who join this unit are tasked with leading the attack on the Gremlins and their monstrosities, along with reclamation of territory outside of Haven's walls. Not many join the corps, as it is the most dangerous branch of the military. In the year 2986, over 40 % of the Corps was wiped out due to a failed attack on a Gremlin base. Since then, even less have joined the Corps. However, those who manage to survive past their first year in the corps are often far more experienced, skilled, and cunning in battle than any other soldier, and have a very high survival rate. Accomplishing this task is very hard, though. In fact, its nigh impossible. Think you can do it?

To recap, you have three choices. You can keep the peace and maintain order in Haven by joining the Military Police, (minor role) defend the walls as a member of the Garrison, (not that major, but still big role) or, should you have the courage, you can take the initiative and strike back at the Gremlins as an elite of the Assault Corps. Do you have what it takes to lead the in the attack on Cradle?

Notice: So, I've seen that new open-ended RP "Times Have Changed", and i decided i wanted to try something similar. Credit to Sintag for giving me the idea. Kudos to you, Sin. I also credit the creator of the manga and anime, Shingeki no Kyojin, which has made a large influence on this idea.

READ! YOUR 3DMG INFORMATION IS WITHIN THIS FILE!
Due to the ineffectiveness of orthodox Isoran weapons, the scientists at the Lab have developed an entirely new line of gear. The Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear is state-of-the-art mobility equipment that will give you a life-saving edge against your foes. Be warned, however; not everyone has the natural skill needed to master the 3DMG. In fact, it's estimated that out of every hundred people, only one has enough talent to use the gear effectively. The inner mechanisms of the device are extremely complex, but we've included a brief description of most of its components.

The Body of the Device - Steel wire is stored inside the body of the gear. There are two axles inside, which revolve independently.

Operating Device - The functioning part of the operating device is a black box, which the technical department manages and improves in secrecy.

Body of the Compressed Gas Cylinder - Gas is compressed into the cylinder and injected.

Fan Section - Gas is blown directly into the fan to make it rotate. The pressure of the gas is regulated to manipulate the output.

Three-dimensional maneuver device training is a rigorous process that allows humans, which are limited to two-dimensional movements, to adapt to movement in the third dimension, just like a fish in the water or a hawk in the sky.

Great physical strength, particularly in the legs, coupled with spatial recognition abilites, as well as the mental strength to not waver in the midst of a panic, are crucial qualities needed to be able to master the 3DMG

One of the first things done after enlisting in training is the 3D Maneuver Gear aptitude evaluation. Those unable to remain upright are dismissed.

The 3D Maneuver Gear also serves as a scabbard for your Purgatory Blades, weapons forged from a combination of super-hardened Sun Silver and Shadow Steel. The twin swords are currently the most powerful melee weapons in the Order's arsenal, and put the once-legendary Final Flourish of old to shame. However, against the Gremlin's new creations, these swords are about as powerful as a Proto noob fighting Vanaduke, and as such, every trainee receives 10 extra swords to replace their old ones should they break in the midst of a battle.

RULES

No killing other OC's, you traitorous scum. You can team up with them, you can leave them to their fate, but you cannot directly kill anyone. If you do, a small bomb connected to your armor will explode and kill you. Why? To prevent insubordination, mostly. In addition, its a good way for the Order to take out Gremlins in a desperate situation. Suicide bombers do quite a bit of damage to Gremlin defenses. It's also a way for a soldier to make sure that even their last, dying breath won't be wasted.

BE CAREFUL. You really, truly, only have one life. However, you can have more than one character.

There are certain conditions and items that will resurrect you...But be wary, those are few, far between, and holding onto them, in an item's case, will make you a walking magnet for deadly situations. And Titans. Why? Because I said so.

SK rules do NOT apply, to a pretty big extent. No bottomless bullets (Reloading takes a little longer, so that there's a realistic feel), blades, armor, and other gear WILL break eventually, (although, like in Minecraft, you can repair them by merging them with the same kind of item. However, certain parts can help to restore your gear and make it as good as new.) bombs can't be respawned (sorry), and you WILL tire eventually (perhaps some 5hour energy? XD). You can still shield bash and use all those fancy moves. You can also dual wield (yes, that includes even bombs), so that's a plus.

As soon as you begin, you're given the basic gear setup of your selected military unit, along with a short paper in order to brief you on your objectives, survival necessities if you are posted in the Assault Corps, and high-tech artillery units such as sentry guns and other turrets if you are part of the Garrison, then sent to your post. Good luck soldier. Make those Gremlins bleed.

_______
Beginning

You bounce on the balls of your feet, shivering with excitement, as you watch Commander Tyro, leader of the legendary Assault Corps, take the stage. It's finally come. The day for you to pick a military squadron, and you're practically glowing with joy.

Tyro smiles warmly at you and your fellow trainees before a serious scowl spreads over his face. He solemnly begins, "You all know who I am, so there's no need for introduction. If you're wondering why I'm the only one of the commanders here, I'm sure you've heard of the recent assault on the Haven walls by the Gremlins and their abominations. Commanders Hanji and Takiza are busy fending off the attack, but my force has just recently returned to the city from a recent mission. We're tired and would only be a burden in the fight. So I'm right here, right now."

"I'm proud of all of you, trainees. You're another successful batch of brave, valiant soldiers. Many of you are eager to join the Military police or the Garrison, as soldiers of both have quite easy lives. But I'm here today to ask you to become a member of the Assault Corps."

You watch, somewhat intrigued, as Tyro continues, "Tell me, do you all truly wish to become complacent, to be confined to these cages that we call walls? I'm begging you all to join us. To fight. To bring this battle to the heart of the Gremlin's homeland. That is all."

With that, he steps off the stage, and a group of assistants begin handing out forms to fill out. You stare down at the sheet of paper, take out your pen, and start filling in the form.

First app of the day!

Name: Evera Salama
Aliases: Eve, Gwen, Finder
Age: ~25+
Height: 1.7m/5'7"
Weight: 67.5kg/149lbs
Faction: Spiral Order, Assault Corps
Sprite: Drakon with Meteoric Firebolt, Backfire Barrier, Explosive Firestorm
Appearance
Arsenal: Leviathan-Valiance gunblade, Aegis, military Azure Guardian Armor
Specialization: stealth, speed, offense
Strengths: swordsmanship, acrobatics, quick-wittedness
Weaknesses: clueless bomber & bomber-killer, defensive combat
Biography: Evera has a very mysterious past. She appears to be very young, but her mannerisms and experiences suggest her to be much older. She joined the Spiral Order naught but a few months ago, and is already handling herself like a Vanguard. She doesn't talk much about her past, so her unusual skills will go unexplained in the near future.
Personality: She's not a very strong conversationalist, but her charm and wit kind of make up for it. In combat situations, she becomes deadly-serious and develops a slight streak of cruelty. She is passionate about her beliefs, and will not shrink from open debate on political or religious issues. Speaking of which, she is a very religious person, with a devout faith in God that, according to some, borders on the insane. To the extent that she is free to practice her faith, she is tolerant of opposing beliefs.

How did I know? How did I know something like this'd pop up at some point? I just didn't know what form it would take. Shame it's a roleplay. I doubt I'll take part in it. I was never into roleplaying.

Feline-Grenadier

Garrison badassery

Name: Zaki Bashir

Age: 19

Personality: A very diligent person; military training has broken his former self and built up a new demeanor of its own.

Specialization: Sniping; Sword Combat; Guerrilla Warfare; Urban Warfare; Tactics

Faction: Spiral Order - Garrison

Bio: Zaki's family, although once a large empire of hundreds of members, had been killed off week by week by the attacks from the Gremlins. Whether they had been civilians or soldiers, all of them had been given no mercy. Although he wants revenge on them, he realized that his weakness by physicality would only get him killed. However, he was more concerned about killing Gremlins than moving traffic, so he enlisted into the Garrison.

Sprite: Maskeraith - Loki - Haunted Haze; Vengeful Shadow Cloak; Vengeful Quills

Weaknesses: Poor at bombs. Low stamina, reliant on 3DMG.

Strengths: He has a greater knowledge of the 3DMG than most, and his low stamina calls for him to use it at maximum efficiency. He also is familiar with certain Gremlin formations, and knows how to take down critical members of an enemy squad.

Preferred Loadout : Nameless Set; Dual Winmillions; Any sniping weapon.

Specifics :

Intelligence - 8 / 10 - His knowledge of Gremlins makes him a reliable informant, and his mental prowess is still improving

Social Skill - 5 / 10 - Somewhat reserved, and on average. He isn't a saint.

Weight - 115 lb.

Height - 5' 7''

Vitality - 4 / 10 - He isn't as toughly built as most people, even compared to his family members.

Battle Skill - 9 / 10 - One of the best gunners you'll see in the Garrison.

Hexlash

It's the age of Roleplays!

Name: Mekikoi (From Japanese 'clever' and 'mechanical')

Age: 26

Personality: Willing to take the fall for a close friend, whether it be something from humiliation to death. Very kind, thinks of others and is cautious. Often falls into ramblings about what he's doing, whether or not they care, but he's working on not doing that, gives good advice, albeit sometimes it may sound strange because it's based off his work i.e. "Everyone needs a little bit of oil to keep running smoothly, or we would all be loud creaky and have arthritis."

Specialization: Mechanical intelligence and 'defensive offense'. Decent sniper, but not close range shooting.

Faction: (Still not sure what this means :D Oh, nvm I getz it noaw!) Assault Corps.

Bio: Developing and designing an upgraded model of the 3DMG, and knows how it works inside out, but instead of making it, he decided to join the Assault Corps first, to employ his knowledge on mechanical devices against the gremlins. He's hoping to help with the development of his improved model, (since apparently 3DMG is 20 years old o.O) gaining more advantage form being in the military. He gained most of his experience with mechanical things tinkering with relics from the Clockworks, and often buys as many things that he can that were made by Gremlins, though those are rare since Knights ceased going into the Clockworks. Developed lots of interesting gizmos.

Sprite: E-class Battle Sprite that he uses not for combat, but rather for his mechanical purposes.

Anything else: He's um, idk, errr, I know! He loves shock weaponry! He likes shock weaponry, because it allows him to power any machines he makes.

Weaknesses: Practically pointless with direct confrontation bombing, can set traps using bombs, but when in the midst of battle, he'd probably blow himself up... Also, as stated in the vitality, he's more of a tactical guy, who plans stuff, builds stuff and develops strategy, he's not some obese guy, he's more intellect than anything, not saying that he's a nerd weakling either.

Strengths: Quite knowledgeable on anything mechanical, this goes from the Gremlin's monstrosities, to weaponry and other devices! He can design and construct Weaponry, traps, ect. as well as dissemble or locate weak points in the Gremlin's creations. He is also skilled at disarming enemies, rather than directly pummeling them into the ground. A good problem solver.

Erica

My character app.

Name: Erica Jane

Age: 17

Personality: friendly and compassionate to both the citizens of Haven and her fellow soldiers. She won't hesitate to speak her mind, which often gets her in trouble.

Specialization: is a master of the 3DMG, and possesses truly amazing skill with melee weaponry. Is a sufficiently skilled strategist and can

Faction: Assault Corps

Bio: Erica's mother and father were both brutally murdered in an attack on the town of Shinganshina by the Gremlin's most monstrous creations, the Titans. She watched in horror as her parents, her childhood friends, and all of the people of her town were killed. No, not just killed. Eaten. She was able to hide in the rubble of a collapsed church, but only herself and her best friend Sayaka survived the attack.
Unfortunately, the Garrison and Military Police were busy defending a town adjacent to Erica's, and so they couldn't help. After a full hour of death and destruction, the Assault Corps returned from a recent scouting mission. They easily dispatched the Titans, but it was too late for Erica's family. She and Sayaka were taken in by Commander Tyro and indoctrinated into the military once they were of age. Erica and her friend are now both loyal members of the Assault Corps and harbor an intense hatred for the Gremlins, the monsters that created the Titans.

Sprite: Kira the Drakon (Japanese for killer). Wears an Elite Dark Harness and can use the three ultimate skills: Meteoric Firebolt, Backfire Barrier, and Explosive Firestorm

Arsenal: 3D Maneuver Gear, modified Valkyrie Raiment and Helm (no weakness to fire. Is made of pure sun silver and appears metallic instead of white.), her dual Purgatory Blades, Acheron and Styx, and for standard combat, a Leviathan and Aegis.

Anything else: has an almost disturbing craving for Snipe flesh with a side of mashed potatoes, pan fried noodles, and bread. Due to her incessant catching and cooking of Snipes within Haven, the little birds have migrated outside of the walls, to safe Gremlin-occupied territory. Safe for them, at least.

Weaknesses: she's a top notch swordsman, but her trigger finger is horrible, her aim disgustingly off-target, and she always seems to accidentally make bombs blow up in her face. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her wild nature sometimes gets her in trouble.

Strengths: is an expert swordsman as well as a master of the 3DMG and a fairly cunning tactician who can usually find a way to use the environment to her advantage. Shes especially skilled in urban warfare, as tall buildings are an ideal environment for 3D Maneuver Gear. She has the skill to scale terrain so rough and unstable, Ezio himself would blush. Can also -somehow- manage to stuff 40 loaves of bread, a 7oz. sirloin steak, a side of mashed potatoes, and a bowl of pan fried noodles into her mouth in under 2 minutes.

Battle Specs

Intelligence: 7/10 (smart enough to skip a grade- went from freshman to junior in one year. Quite intelligent)
Social Skill: 6/10 (good batured, compassionate to most, and pretty friendly, is good at making friends.)
Weight: 5/10 (average weight, 150 lb.)
Height: 5/10 (she's 5'3")
Vitality: 6/10 (has enough endurance, but enough is never enough, especially you're in the Assault Corps)
Battle Skill: 10/10 (one of the best warriors the Order has ever seen)

Does this mean...

I have to admit I was a bit lazy, making my app, I can add to it if requested, but I'm just wondering (not rushing you or anything) when you'll do the whole battle specs thing and accept other peoples apps?

EDIT: lol, the way I imagined you saying "Ezio himself would blush." was hilarious! Also I just realized that if we are ALL the same character you refereed to in your Beginning, then I could not imagine what every single Knight would look like 'bouncing on the balls of their feet' and 'shivering with excitement', would that not look the tiniest bit strange to you?

@Hex

Mekikoi would have to have been 6 when he created the 3DMG. Perhaps he could just be a scientist who is trying to improve the gear? By the way, faction is the branch of military you're in. So your faction would be Assault Corps. These are what I think his stats would be.

Edit: meh. Not exactly sure. But in "Times have changed" every character is led to th food by a guard. I'm pretty sure there are more inmates than guards in every prison. :p

Edit of my edit: ok, that's good, Hex

Mekikoi Battle Specs:
Intelligence: 9/10 (he's so good with machinery, he'd be very valuable against the Gremmies)
Social skill: 6/10 (loyal to his friends, almost to a fault)
Weight: 4/10 (he's a guy, so he weighs less proportionately than Evera or Erica)
Height: 5/10 (lol so many average sized people)
Vitality: perhaps 4/10 (I'm guessing he's not that fit, since he's more focused on machinery)
Battle skill: 7/10 (pretty good in a fight, better than most at strategy)

@Creep: so... Your character is a gremlin that aids the Order, correct? Not sure exactly.

Sorry, I feel like I sounded a bit brash there...

I had no idea lol, did it mention when the 3DMG was created in your post? If it did, I somehow missed it, but I guess then sure, he could ahve just developed designs to enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the 3DMG. As for the weight an height, for some queer reason I thought you were going to do it xD.

Weight: 130lb
Height: 5'6"

Is that okay?

Thin!

You're accepted. Here's what Evera's stats would probably be.

Evera Battle Specs
Intelligence: 6/10 (quick witted)
Social skill: 5/10 (not that sociable, but charming once you get to know her)
Weight: 5/10 (around Erica's weight, so average)
Height: 5/10 (average height)
Vitality: 10/10 (she must have very good endurance if she's such a good acrobat.)
Battle skill: 8/10 (great in a fight, also a team fighter)

@Kaiju

Wait, so what would it take to raise certain stats?
Or is this a take it or leave it situation, and because I don't wanna be OP controller, how exactly do I get my character the ability to be able to use 3DMG, considering he is smart enough to make it better...

Mon, 08/19/2013 - 15:00

#15

Kaijuhunter

Uh...

All characters start out with 3DMG. And I'm just offering my opinion of their stats, so that if there is a pvp situation or some other time that we need to compare characters, then I have a cheat sheet

Thinslayer

@Kaijuhunter

Thanks. The specs seem accurate, though I would bump up her intelligence by a couple points. During her years as The Finder, she was an expert huntress, and could track down magic-users, elite knights, and dangerous beasts alike (think back to Finder's Keepers). She also used to set traps for her prey, though that skill has fallen into disuse. She would have to be pretty smart to stay alive with the entire planet pitted against her, but her brain damage and resulting insanity would keep it from being 10/10. Still, I reckon it's my fault for not making that clear at the outset. 7-8/10 seems more reasonable to me.

5/10 in social skill seems accurate.

Maybe bump up her weight a tad. She's no bodybuilder, but knights in the ever-active Assault Corps definitely get their exercise.

5/10 for height seems pretty accurate, since 5'7" is said to be the average height for women.

I like that her vitality is so high, but I recommend bumping it down by one point. Living a life alone as an insane beast doesn't bode well for one's long-term health, but having to survive through all of nature's wiles certainly forces one to endure or die. 9/10 would be about right for her, IMO, but I won't complain if you leave it at 10/10. ;)

Battle skill at 8/10 is fine by me.

Darnit, I feel like I'm being ignorant.

Sorry, I just assumed from your post "In fact, it's estimated that out of every hundred people, only one has enough talent to use the gear effectively." that only certain people would get the privilege of getting to use it. Then in that case I'm fine with the stats, though I kinda think my social skills would be higher a point, or my intelligence, but you are the deciding factor, and I'd rather your opinion over mine, it just seems more fair that way. ^_^

Nice to see so many apps flowing in. To answer your question, Atg, you'll have your specs soon. There's too many apps for me to consider, most likely accept, and give stats to. Oh, the pressure

Edit

@Arch; sorry, but your character is denied. The Valkyroids don't exist in this RP, because if they did, this entire problem wouldn't occur. If you read one of my chaps on DfA, you'll see that Hera alone was able to wipe out an entire Gremlun camp of (OVER 9000) soldiers without breaking a sweat. Then take into consideration that there's also Lucifer, another Omega Valkyroid, countless other Valkyroids (about 2,000 in existence currently), and Ikaros, the most powerful of them all. If even a single one of them existed, the Isorans wouldn't have any trouble with the Gremlins.

So, yeah. Sorry. Not accepted. Please (insert 1 token) try again.

@Tag

Um, one prob with your app. Just an inconsistency with what i wrote. The tragically horrible operation that killed Rigele's parents occurred in 2986. Not 1986.

@Hex: well, I actually mentioned something about that in the original post. I said that all trainees must first take the aptitude test for the 3DMG. If they can't even stay upright, there's no way they can hope to master the gear, and therefore it would be harder for them to fight the Gremlins.

@Arch: so... Yeah. Just give me another app if you want. I'll probably accept it. Arch was only denied because his kind doesn't exist in this story.

Topoyozariane

Application?

I would be the first, Kaiju, but I was at camp. :P
__________________________________________

Name: Valk?

Age: 28

Personailty: A fun loving, joke making dude.

Gender: Male

Specialization: Guns, guns and more guns. Long Range Sniping.

Faction: Assault Corps. But Gate Defenders will be nice too if there's too many people.

Bio: He was just a kid when he joined the Spiral Order, hoping for revenge. (A friend died.) The Spiral Order didn't accept him, and put him in a rather childish class. (Monster Whacking 101) He resented the Spiral Order, but swallowed it and stayed in the class. Due to the fact that Valk's parent's was in the Assault crops (Retired now), Valk knew a lot about the Gremlins and their weapons. He excelled in that class, and entered the the boot camp. Due to the fact he's a kid, he repeated a few years, and finally made it to the end in his 16th year.

Anything else: He doesn't let people near him, or into his team. He's more of a recon because he doesn't want any friends, due to the fact his friend died, and he doesn't want that kind of sadness.

Strengths: Gunning, Stealth.

Weakness: Brute strength, duels, cannot take insults.

Gear: Dual wielding Valiances with suppresors, a Crystal energy sniper rifles. Weirdly, he doesn't wear Gunner gear, instead wears Skolver, but painted pure black. When not using dual-wield Valiances, he has a shield modifed to act like a recon shield, but doesn't give any defense to the user.

Appearance: Skolver in black. When not wearing it, his out-of-armour gear is a black or sometimes yellow hoodie that says, "Cobalt users FTW."

Thinslayer

In the Beginning

Cold and lifeless is the Void
Cruel, heartless, love devoid.
Save me from its wandering eye
Lest my soul doth fail and die!

As the day drew to a close and darkness fell over the platform, men and gremlins clashed in anger. Tooth and claw met sword and shield with grim courage to feed the gaping mouth of the Void. Snarls and battle cries drowned out the terrified screams of the condemned. Blood showered the armor of a determined young woman as she clipped the skull of an unlucky gremlin with the edge of her deadly gunblade. Three more met their untimely end at her hand before a hammer put a stop to her cold march of death.

The world spun in a sea of stars, then sank and drowned into the blackness.

But God wasn't done with me.

I awoke in a clean white bed, deprived of my trusty sword and shield and given a barf bag instead. I questioned purpose of such an arrangement, but my stomach soon gave me an answer. Hot, disgusting lumps shot out my throat and into the bag, reminding me that I was unfit for duty. "You okay, ma'am?" came a young male voice. My stomach answered him for me yet again. He patted me on the back, probably intending to reassure me that I was okay.

Please God, let him be right.

Creeperlucario

My character is disguised as a gremlin, and it hinders the gremlin order, I also send the plans and chaos the gremlins are creating to Spiral HQ. I pretend to "help" when I am actually ruining their real machines. E.g. Moving Roarmulus Twins always had a permant shield but, thanks to me, I was able to remove the shield making them easier to defeat them. They never notice it is me, Seerus thinks it is a gremlin who made a mistake.

@Creep

That's one hex of a costume lol, hiding away with the gremlins so well that they don't notice you sabotaging their work, wouldn't they notice that you don't speak 'Gremlin'? And technically Tinkzar is the major threat here, Seerus simply carries out his orders, then again you would have to be a part of the Crimson order to even see him lol, so nvm...

Bombing-Run

I totally called those Attack on titan references.

Nickname: Hex
Age:18
Personality: Sarcastic and likes to joke a lot. Makes good one-liners
Specialization: Combat engineer. Makes forward defences and repairs the walls from time to time when he's not on missions.
Faction: Assault corps. Gate defenders when he's not needed.
Bio: Hex has a way with machines. Nobody knows how he does it. He stays cool under pressure, even when a group of lumbers are charging right at him. However, he may get very emotional when one of his team members ( or anyone who he has gotten to known ) is hurt or killed. He still needs to get used to his 3DMG gear after tampering with it. (It was an accident, according to him. The gear was practicaly calling him to make it better.)
Sprite: Very own recon sprite. (normal sprite that hasn't changed to cope with the planet) Has been tampered with many times, to make it deploy a small E.M.P blast that will damage gremlin's technology a lot more that the knights. Still hasn't figured out to fully stop the EMP from harming Hex and his team, though.
Anything else:Hex has his own mini-computer built into his left arm. It allows him to hack into machines, shut down gates, and see what his sprite sees. If need be, he is able to remotely control it.
Weaknesses: Emotional instability.
Strengths: Very good eye for detail. Could see a sniper from quite some distance away. Is also a very good shot with his modified blitz needle, which, thanks to him, has now has to be handles with two hands to compensate for the extra bullets and recoil.

Derp

Um... Thin? Could ya hold up a bit with the postif, I'm still getting everyone set up and all that so we could all start at once.

Finally, I'm done. Everyone, have yor specs! TAKE THEM!

Rigele Battle Specs

Intelligence: 6/10 (quite smart, but he blindly obeys the Order, and sometimes the orders you get aren't the right ones for the situation. He's also easily controlled, and that is never good)
Social skill: 3/10 (from what I've seen, more of a loner, but will occasionally chat with others
Weight: 6/10 (pretty average weight)
Height: 9/10 (6'2" is enormous!)
Vitality: 8/10 (if he is so focused on direct attacks, he'd need a lot of endurance to execute that)
Battle skill: 7/10 (can probably take on two 30ft class Titans at once and still win. That's actually quite a feat; not many people can even down on 30ft class on their own. He'd be able to defeat a small squadron of Roarmutanks. That's what the mobile Roarmulus twins are called. I would've given him an 8, but he is focused primarily on attack, and lacks skill in other departments. That won't do against the superior firepower of the Gremlins, but hey, i bet he can still kick some serious @ss)
---

Andrew Battle Specs

Intelligence: 7/10 (smarter than most people since he studied so much as a kid
Social skill: 6/10 (friendly, nice to be around. That's good, because you need the support of your squad if you're in the Assault Corps)
Weight: not sure
Height: not sure
Vitality: 5/10
Battle skill: 5.5/10 (we're getting a lot of good warriors here. Probably because most are in the AC. If youre wondering, Andrew's Battle skill is lower because of his dependence on his glasses. One has to take into account that they can easily be knocked off in the heat of battle. He also isn't that flexible, so that could interfere with his 3DMG skills, because one must be able to twist and turn every which way to use the gear effectively.)
---

Creep Battle Specs

Intelligence: 8/10 (must be really smart, if he can even begin to understand the complex DNA strand of the Titans)
Social Skill: 8/10 (sociable and friendly)
Weight: 1/10 (Very thin)
Height: 3/10 (About 3'1)
Vitality: 8/10 (almost no one can get a 10 in this category)
Battle Skill: 2/10 (he might have good gear, but like I said, even the 3DMG and Purgatory blades, which surpass even the best 5* weapons, aren't that effective against the Gremlin's creations, especially the Titans. You also need to consider the fact that he is so fragile compared to most Isorans. He's extremely thin, and while being thin is fine and dandy, too much of anything isn't good. He'd easily be thrown from a battle)
---

Zaki Battle Specs

Intelligence
Social skill
Weight: 4/10 (he's a guy, and guys usually weigh more than girls, so, in comparison, he's a bit lighter.)
Height: 4/10 (same case as above, he weighs less proportionately)
Vitality: 2/10
Battle Skill: 7.5/10 (he's very good at most areas of combat, but unfortunately, he can't function well without his 3DMG. Now, almost nobody can destroy a Titan, or any of the Gremlin weapons, without the gear, but because he has low stamina, if he has to escape from an enemy and his gear breaks, he'll stand no chance. Thankfully, he's stationed on top of the walls and in the many small camps surrounding Haven (each is about a hundred yards away from the wall's 8 entrances), so he won't need it as much because of his defensive position, but should the Gremlins, oh, say, overpower the camps and advance to the walls, should his gear happen to break... Bye bye.)
---

@Arch: I'm sorry, but we've got a lot of Assault Corps characters in here. Is it okay for Arch to be part of the Garrison? I need a few people to balance it out. Sorry...

Arch Battle specs

Intelligence: 5/10 (there's a lot of smart characters, so we need some average people to balance it out)
Social skill: 8/10 (nice and friendly$
Weight: no clue
Height: I've no idea
Vitality: 4/10 (he's frail, you say? Well. That probably hurts his endurance and physical fitness.)
Battle skill: 7/10 (specialization with only one weapon is never good for all-around combat)
---

Valk battle specs

Intelligence: 5/10 (average)
Social skill: 5/10 (nice to be around. However, he isn't very social.)
Height: again, no idea.
Weight: idk.
Vitality: I'll say 5/10 (average)
Battle skill: 6/10 (I say this because he specializes in guns. Although Spiral Order artillery CAN punch through most Gremlin creations handily, there are far too any of them. Once ammunition runs out, what'll you do then? Still, Valk's skill with guns and the fact that he has the tactical advantage of the walls as a sniping spot is what bumps the score up to 6.)
---

Hex Battle Specs

Intelligence: 8/10 (very smart, valuable because he might be able to help reverse-engineer the Gremlin weaponry.
Social skill: 7/10 (good to be around, probably makes funny comments on the Gremlins during a mission, and who doesn't love mocking the enemy in front of them?)
Height: no clue
Weight: WILL ANYBODY BOTHER TO TELL ME THEIR CHARACTERS HEIGHT AND WEIGHT?!
Vitality: 5/10 (average)
Battle skill: 5/10 (he's good with his gear and makes the most of it, but his 3D Maneuver Gear is hard for him to control, and its literally the most important piece of equipment for someone in the Corps. His gun skills should help compensate. I would've bumped it up to a 6 due to his calm demeanor, but his mental instability prevented that.)

For anyone who is wondering about the Titans, This, this, and these are examples of what they look like. The 2nd picture, however, includes a something called a (who cares, none of you will watch Attack On Titan anyway) Titan shifter, someone who can transform into a Titan. Perhaps once Creep and all the other smart scientist characters finally crack the genetic coding of the Titans, Isorans can then be injected with the potential to use this power for themselves and turn the tides of the war? :3

Beginning

Assault Corps beginning

Erica was almost bursting with eagerness. She eagerly filled out her form and handed it back to the assistant with a grin stretching across her face. She slowly tied her shoulder-length, black-as-night hair up into a ponytail and waited for a few minutes. Suddenly, a wild Tyro appeared (I'm sorry, I had to XD). He motioned for everyone to rise, then announced, "Thank you for your time, soldiers. You've now chosen your military unit and will receive your uniforms within the hour. Good luck, soldiers."

In one swift, fluid movement, Tyro's left arm swings into place behind his back and his right hand to his heart, the Isoran salute. Everyone follows his lead. With that, the Commander left the stage. The assistants handed everyone their uniforms and silently slipped into the darkness of the night. Erica stared in awe at her new uniform. It was a short green cape with two wings emblazoned onto the middle, with intricate designs surrounding them. It was the symbol of the Assault Corps, the Wings of Freedom .

Proudly, Erica slipped into the uniform and headed over to a nearby bonfire to meet some of her friends. She saw Evera, a girl of about her height and weight, whom sported eyes as blue as the sky and silky silver hair that shined with an almost ethereal glow in the night. She was preoccupied poking the fire with a small stick. Next to her was Andrew, a young man of about 26 cycles. He boasted long, white hair and wore rimmed glasses that gave him that I'm-smarter-than-you kind of look. He smiled grimly at Erica as she took a seat next to him. Her best friend Sayaka lounged on a log to Andrew's right. She was a petite girl with beautiful blonde hair and shining green eyes, and she had been friends with Erica since childhood.

The four said nothing. They didn't need to. All they did was simply sat around the campfire, savoring the last moments of true peace in their entire lives and enjoying each other's company.

Make a decision
You are now part of the Assault Corps and will be dispatched first thing in the A.M. For now, have a drink, chat with friends, get some sleep, and try not to think about the Gremlin's monstrosities that lie behind the walls. Give those you love your regards, for you may never see them again...

Can everyone please add a description of what their character looks like, or at least a picture? I forgot to add that into the app requirements (I just copy-pasted from Sintag's thread) and it'll be hard to describe your characters without one.

Character's description

When working with the gremlins, I wear the basic cloak they all wear and have a hood that the menders wear, I also have the Darkfang Shield on my back. When I sneak back to Spiral HQ, I am wearing the full Heavenly Guardian Armor with no shield, (I never stay long because Seerus would realise I was a traitor).
P.S. I found a locked room in the gremlin order and it seems to be only accessible to Warmaster Seerus, that could be the break we need if I can get in there.
P.S.S. I can't wear or use the 3DMG items because they hurt me and the Gremlins would kill me if they noticed. I also learned how to speak and listen to Gremlin language when I was young, which is why I can understand them and learn what they are doing without being caught.

My bad on the height and weight. I'll put them down now.

Height: 5'11.
Weight: 85 Kgs
Appearance: Mercurial helm and azure guardian armor with adjustments built into it. Nothing really cosmetic, just some internal upgrades to increase movement speed and provide some elemental defence. Uses a blackened crest.

Well, first i thought that we'll get the characters to just socialize for the night. In the morning, they're sent on their first mission. As for those in the Garrison... You'll be seeing some action soon.

@Arch; Id love if you could turn this Roleplay into a Spiralspy animation! Would you be able to add the 3D Maneuvering Gear in as well? I'm not familiar with how Spiralspy works.

Oh I meant for the rest of the assault corps, because in your piece, you only mentioned five knights, but I think I get what you mean now. If you wanted to draw my character, which I would LOVE, could you draw it just as a Knight with Skolver coat, Divine Veil with glasses, and the 3DMG on top.
