Hmm
Are we going of the statment that all the Golden Versions of all mods are nolonger real or is that going to still be a thing? I mean in the since at some points in this RP I could see a Golden Mod as a good means of throwing the Players off or give a since of urgency to a moment. But Golden Trojans :L even just T1's are no laughing matter.

Age: 30
Eye color: Yellow
Skin color: Purple
Height: 8'2
Weight: 8'3
Attire: Purple cloak and purple tie

Biography: Antasma grow up as a basic knight but when he crashed into Skylark, he lost all of his items and lost some memory. As he was walking through the barren land, Gremlins took Antasma in because they knew he can help them. As Antasma was working with them, the gremlins decided he was going to be a threat and shoved him to depth 23 and then knocked him out there. Antasma woke up and saw 4 other knights wondering what he was doing there. They then went into a shadow lair and asked Antasma if he wanted to come, Antasma agreed and went with them. When they made it to the unknown passage, Antasma collapsed and then the swarm slowly corrupted Antasma but all the items Antasma had where destroyed and converted into other powers that became natrual but also made him a lot more aggressive.

When Antasma learned to fly from the unknown passage's secert leader, he left looking for more victims to corrupt but lacked the power to normally infect them unless they where defeated. He heard of the games and decided to go on a killing spree if he could get in.

Name: Antasma Check!
Appearance: Here *sigh* I suppose. Check!
Gender: male Check!
Age: 30 Check!
Eye Color: yellow Check!
Skin Color: purple Check!
Height: 8'2" Clearly not within human range. No go.
Weight: 8'3" That's not a weight dude, that's a height. No go.
Attire: purple cloak & purple tie Check!
Arsenal: purple cloak has very high defense and can only use his special powers to attack If you're going to specify a defensive attribute, you'll need to be more specific. Tell me what armor piece(s) its defenses are closest to. No go.
Personality: Very angry, usually never works with anyone else and usually attacks anyone if he sees them. Can be chatty and usually retreats to restore his health when he is low on HP Health restoration is not possible here without medical assistance provided by the moderators. No go.
Biography: Antasma grow up as a basic knight but when he crashed into Skylark, he lost all of his items and lost some memory.

Special abilities: Ability to fly, Shield Aura (Activates when low on HP and restores it slowly), Plasma Orb (Basically a stronger bullet) and able to summon orb helpers and can eat them to increase his power. Again, flight is illegal. Summoning helpers is also illegal. Your plasma orb does not match any known weave, and is inconsistent with Swarm abilities. Please choose your special abilities from the list provided in the OP of the story thread. No go.
And that's it! You've got a lot to fix up, but don't let it discourage you. I look forward to seeing your character implemented soon. :)

@Troloe
There are three issues remaining:
*You listed your character's weight as 8'3. That's a height value, not a weight value, and I can't understand it. Give me a number in pounds, like 200lbs, for example.
*Your character must be shorter than 7'0". He currently is 8'2", which is too tall.
*Orb helpers are not allowed. They are not in the list of basic weaving abilities.
I'm using the English system of units, where the apostrophe ' indicates feet, quotes " indicates inches, and weight is measured in pounds. Height is represented by #'#" and weight is represented by #lbs.
Just making sure we're all on the same page here...

Name: Nevo
Appearance: Here.
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Eye color: Blue
Skin color: Slightly tanned
Height: 5'11
Weight: 70kg
Attire: As seen in appearance
Arsenal: Greaver set (in picture) with ironmight plate shield. Uses a Barbarous Thorn Blade. Lost all of his weapons and is still trying to find them.
Personality: Shy but cunning.
Biography: Nevo is pretty much your typical slave-knight. Well, besides the fact that he skinned so many greavers to make his own armor set (which he lost a few days ago) but anything else is normal. He received basic training with all weapons, but prefers using his foil. He has dealt with many things. Death of his friends, stab to the chest, and being set on fire. All of those you can see physically, if Nevo took his armor off. But he never does.
Special Power(s): Plasma Bolt, thunderbolt, flame barrier. All of these were granted to him by his armor.

@Troloe
Since your character seems to be more of a boss-type villain than a games victim, it'll be hard for you to use him appropriately here, but if you're patient and willing to wait, the games will eventually end and hit the outside world, where characters like yours are more appropriate. If you're not so patient, you could wait to introduce him until the characters reach the large open area of the games, where he could be used as an assassin of sorts, much like our Finder.

Wowzers.
See Liminori? Didn't I say that you weren't the only one to get unintentionally ignored? Now it's Nova-Fire. Jeez, me and my bad attention span...
@Nova-Fire: The only issue I have with your app is the origin of Nevo's special powers. In this RP's lore, such powers either come from weaving abilities or from battle sprites, and no place else. They do not come from armor.
Speaking of which, its stats shall be:
Greaver Cap/Coat
7.5 bars normal resistance
7.5 bars shadow resistance
3 bars curse resistance
Not that the details matter much, since I won't be using them for combat calculations, but they're a useful means of qualitatively determining how well they resist attack. So for example, if your player gets hit by a shadow bolt, it will make a difference whether he has shadow defense, but it won't make a difference whether he's wearing Greaver or Deadshot.

He'll still get those if he's lucky (And most importantly, doesn't die by that point!) Right?
Fri, 09/06/2013 - 01:14
#278
@Nova-Fire
Took me a moment to figure out what you were talking about. xD
You are allowed to start with a few special powers, but they have to be attributed either to your character's genes or his battle sprite, not his armor.
Fri, 09/06/2013 - 01:19
#279
Alright. I'll make it so Nevo
Alright. I'll make it so Nevo does have backfire barrier when he starts off, but It's not going to do much in a fight. It's really just little embers orbiting around him.

Hello, sorry for the long wait.
I'd be more inclined to accept the app if the character were plausibly from SK lore. I nearly rejected Troloe's app for the same reason, but I only decided otherwise because his character would be more useful as a general villain. Yours, however, has no such quality IMO. If you still want to use Herobrine, I'll have to be convinced of his usefulness in this RP's lore.
I look forward to seeing you play! :)

He then saw some Gremlins who where running away from Vanguards and Herobrine sneaked behind them and killed them, the gremlins come back and thank Herobrine but just killed them and started to explore this new planet. After a year, he noticed a forest which said "Do not enter unless you want to die" but Herobrine was going to see what was in it. He sneaked through it carefully and saw tons of tree looking things and also saw tons of ghostmane stalkers. Herobrine needed to think carefully about who to attack and then launched a firebolt at a single lumber who was alone and then the rest of the army when to see what happened and then Herobrine finished the army off. Sometime later... Herobrine went through Snarby's lair and was destroying the entire lair but was losing health at Snarby and was pinned down. As Snarby was about to finish Herobrine, a thunderbolt came from the sky and stunned Snarby where Herobrine finished off him. He realised that he is better attacking them from behind and went through the Royal Jelly's lair where he killed the Royal Jelly by simply stabbing it in the back and the other jelly's melted away from the firebolt. He then saw a weird citadel on fire and when he reached the throne room, where a king called Lord Vanaduke appeared. He slammed his mace and really hurt Herobrine, as he was going to kill Herobrine, Vanaduke somehow missed and then got servery hurt and when he turned around, he saw Herobrine attacking him. Herobrine somehow learned to teleport in very dire situations. He then finished off Vanaduke and heard of the games when he got back up to Haven and thought he would be useful as an assassin.
Special Powers: Firebolt, Thunderbolt and is very agile, can jump high and can teleport behind the attacker when low on health (Only works once on low hp).

@Robo-Drilldigger
Okay, first off, feel free to edit your original apps. Don't worry, the forum notifies us when that happens. Secondly, my problem was that you were using a Minecraft character and that game's lore (Herobrine). Now, I won't complain too loudly because the rest of us use characters from other games in here, but for some reason, Herobrine really pushes it for me. I was hoping you could try and convince me to let him in. ;)

How does Herobrine push it for you?
Sat, 09/07/2013 - 11:21
#289
@Robo-Drilldigger
Because I work off of a couple general principles:
*All protagonists must be human.
*All non-humans must be antagonists.
Your character seems to bridge the gulf between human and non-human. I can't work with that.

Nope, no hope so long as you keep sitting there twiddling your thumbs. If you really want him to be allowed, then come on, argue with me! I'll hear you out. I can already see some good arguments for letting him in, but if you don't air them, then my personal preference will win out.
In short, you're being challenged to a brief and friendly debate. Do you accept? If so, you may begin anytime.
Sat, 09/07/2013 - 12:22
#292
Hmm
I could see a creature like 'Herobrine' in this RP. But the role it would play comes to mind more like a stalker/sabiture. Some one who hunts but at the same time is setting up traps and watching. With those cold eyes., always watching and waiting because he knows, deep down he has the upper hand. Its just a matter of time before he uses it and or takes what he wants most. A revenge on who IDK but maybe on humanity for cursing him with his set in life.
Mind you I am not saying Yey, or Nye to the idea of a Herobrine character in this RP. I am just thinking about here :/
Sat, 09/07/2013 - 14:27
#293
Challenge accepted Thin
I understand where you are coming from because Herobrine is inbetween a human and not human but that does have it's advantages especially against the swarm. Since Herobrine is a mixture, he can't be corrupted by the swarm no matter what. You also need to remember that Herobrine sneaks about everywhere so he doesn't make much noise and can defeat enemies and players from behind (Even master class ghostmane stalkers didn't stand a chance against Herobrine). Not to mention his white eyes can see through pitch black rooms and if there is a tower in the giant area/ arena looking place is where I can use the firebolt to attack. So basically, Herobrine is perfect for a stalker with pure attacking occasionally.

#295
@Robo-Drilldigger
An excellent opening challenge!
The Swarm appears to be capable of corrupting both knights and monsters alike through Swarm Infection. Being both human and inhuman should, in theory, render him vulnerable to the Swarm.
A possible counter-argument against this idea is that no Swarm-corrupted knights have ever been seen in-game (though dark matter-corrupted knights are common as Trojans).
Monsters, however, are obviously vulnerable, since they are plentiful within the Swarm's ranks. Some types of monsters have never been seen Swarm-corrupted, like mecha knights and jelly cubes, but they all are buffed by Swarm Seed. Knights, on the other hand, are always de-buffed by the Swarm Seed, so even if they aren't corruptible (which I disagree with), they are still vulnerable to Swarm Infection.
A creature that bridges the gap between human and monster should suffer a proportionate effect. He may not be completely consumable like most monsters are, but he will suffer some kind of greater de-buff when Swarm-infected than knights will suffer. This all assumes that it is even possible to bridge the gap between human and monster. Before you call me on that (which you should), my claim that Herobrine appears to be between human and monster was not intended to be a lore-statement. He is technically human within the Minecraft world, and in the absence of contradiction from Spiral Knights, he is, on the balance, human. I refer instead to his appearance, which, if you mean it to be visualized literally, is hardly human.
Regarding the stalker argument, we already have one. I'm not convinced that we need a second one. *hint*

On an unrelated note, I am considering ending the dungeon run and allowing the characters access to the outside world. Would you guys like to continue the dungeon a while longer, or would you like more freeform play?

Guess it would be a good time to transision to a new area. And an over world would make it easy to give people a respbit. Even thou it would make it harder to the Stalker to get her targets unless something else is going on behind me knowlage.

I was reading the rules again in the story forum and I couldn't see my application in the " Applied character sheets". Are you still considering it?
I forgot where I am and the Trojans could just be Golden versions who I dodged the first time but are unkillable.
