Also would need the Spiral Order's tech to use said Sprites.
(ie, the Tech in their Helms/Armours that allow commands and control to be given).
Im hoping that we could at least find equivalents later in our travels.
Gallon shall recieve Moe the 2nd. A Vog Cub. Called Monty.
If Almirians/Strangers CAN have their equivalents later in the RP.
(Vog Cubs not through Tech, but by Training, Rearing from pups, Discipline, etc.)
The reason for the bad posts is the fact I have... Autism.
First off @Creeper: Ouch hope its not too bad, I know some Autistic friends. One is a beast a music the other is one of the best Coders I know. (Programming :D)
Second @Potato&Edolas: Did you both forget Mortis was in plain sight xD He is kinda hard to miss. I mean a Almirian Shadow Guard does not go unseen unless its just a dead body.
Anyway after that Creeper its sucks to find this out (I can not say if its true or not, thus I will avoid the total tith of it), but you can still learn Sentence structure and Writing by looking at the Rules since most cases of that tend to mean people who stuffer from that look for rules to follow. Now on top of this I will not go any further.
In all Gallon's years as a Lancer, including Training, Missions, Quests, and a few other tasks...
He's seen quite a lot of things.
A mysteious flower woman perked his interest.
A Huge ship crashing into the planet's surface is going to attract most if not all his attention after that.
Once things have calmed down, maybe he'll pick your Undead out of the crowd, but currently, eyes forward on randoms coming out of pods that are falling from the sky.
Prioroties.
Magic works however you want it to. I've neither read Harry Potter nor played Dungeons & Dragons, so I can only speculate as to your meaning. Some NPCs, like Menders and the Core spirit, can use magic with few (if any) restrictions.
Regarding Battle Sprites, Fennel is unlikely to encounter a Battle Sprite since the Collector is already hard at work picking them up. You'd most likely have to delve into the Clockworks to find one.
Is it okay if I fight off some wolvers at the rescue sight?
@Dark: My character kind of assumed you were with Thin's bomber.
@Thin: Alright, magic powers!
Now, time to think of an excuse to go into the Clockworks and "accidentally" bump into a Sprite.
@Thin
Just a few things to clear up.
- Gallon has no Ivory on him. All that would be Ivory is a Bronze coloured metal.
- Also has a Black Trench Coat with a faded Almirian Crest, circled by a golden wreath.
(So the image on the last page, just need to adjust the Ivory Wrists to Bronze, Thanks).
Seeing as there is no Trench Coat item to overlay onto a Knight in Spiralspy, its hard to preview that.
Thanks Thin.
@Sandwich
Gallon'll want a Vog Cub soon, so could venture into the clockworks for that reason.
Jealous of the Spiral Order's companions, and want some of our own.
Is the person you are describing Dark's character or my character without the golden wreath or coat in your post?
Dark's. He's the one currently at the site in full view of almost everyone.
Don't make me ask about that little girl...(Insert Batman voice). But ya she seems to have vanished, I smell a plot point around here some where Thin >.>
Nothing too depressing I hope.
(Yeah, Gallon still llllllikes her)
Shush Brackets.
(But-)
Shush =3=.
(I just wanted to-)
Revealing Gallon's story in time, not now though.
(Fine...)
Good Brackets.
Name: Veru (From Latin 'truth'.)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Arsenal: Solid Cobalt Armor, and Cobalt Helm as his armor set, with a Mighty Honour Guard as his shield. He uses two 'Swift Flourishes' as his primary weapon.
Personality: Bold and caring, Veru was a great up and coming Knight. During training, he would often be guilty of showing off a bit, as he was quite a fanciful fencer, leading him to be a bit arrogant, but not so much to a degree that it would become a fault. His affinity for fencing also taught him great honour and strength. He had a natural charisma that gave him an optimistic demeanor, but at the same time he acted awkward and out of character around others. Due to his inability to commune well with others, and despite having 'friends', he was always lonely, resulting in him to space out when alone, plaguing him often. He loves technology, and was planning on receiving technician training after his soldier training was complete. That actually complemented another one of his strengths, which was being a great learner, and quick thinker. He was strangely forgetful as well, contributing to his unique personality.
Bio: Ever since he was little, Veru looked up to his parents, his mother being a head technician and his father just reaching the rank of Vanguard shortly after his birth. As stated in the personality section, it was soon discovered that Veru was a fairly decent fencer, and his father encouraged it, being his mentor. However, Veru mainly concentrated on his swordsmanship, infrequently attempting any other battle styles, thinking that he was fine just learning the ways of the sword. Veru entered a competition when he was around 16 for a Mighty Honour Guard, used by one of the best training officers, his father. This competition was the highlight of his life, and he loved the rush that he got when he was facing off against his opponents, but never once did he injure them, he would always cleverly disarm them, locking them into a position of defeat. However, in the last round, he faced one of his 'best friends' probably the person that Veru had connected with the most, which wasn't much to say, but they still held on friendly terms. Amongst the midst of battle, Veru had abruptly made a fatal error, tensing up and losing all focus. His 'friend' easily noticed that something was wrong, and hesitated, but Veru had already dropped his Flourish. Though his 'friend' won, he gave the shield to Veru, claiming that it belonged to him anyways, adding that Veru would probably have more use for it then himself. Veru never did figure out what happened that day, and it always stuck in his mind.
I have a great idea planned for Veru, which is why his App may seem peculiar. I know I'm forgetting something, but for now, I want this out. Also, I'll be away for the weekend... :C
Wow, what'd I miss? o.o
I'll have a couple characters up soon.. I hope. I'm a bit tired. :P
I just realized something. Do health capsules exist from the Clockworks or the Skylark? I suspect the Clockworks (since random monsters drop em), but I wanted to double-check for this roleplay.
That's a good question. Health capsules seem like a really advanced idea, and while the gremlins use them, given their general lack of safety, I kinda doubt they'd take the trouble to invent them. Monsters might eat them precisely because they improve their health.
So I lean towards the health capsules' origin being the Skylark.
Are Devilites only recently entering Cradle, or are they still in the middle of their economic cacophony?
Hi.
I probably won't be doing much here, unless something interesting pops up on this thread. Still have not read what people have been doing on the "Skylark Down" thing. :3
Name: S'O Vesta, prefers to be called Vesta. (Having never told anyone her first name, it remains as initials)
Gender: Female.
Rank: Recruit.
Appearance
Vesta is a bold, courageous knight. With more of the personality of a Striker than anything else, that is what she aims to become. One hitch, though; about the only sword she can wield is her Parrying Blade, and thus it is her most prized possession. Shorter and slighter in build that anyone she knows, she can barely hold most swords with both hands, let alone use them.
On the other hand, she is a talented swordmaster, and while she might survive as either a gunslinger or a bomber, she doesn't understand such weapons as well as swords. Her current goal is to obtain a Flourish, as she has seen it on other knights, and its size gives her hope that maybe... someday... she will advance beyond the rank of recruit, which she has been stuck in for years.
Her first name is a source of intense embarrassment, and she insists on going by her surname. That is, to those who keep her acquaintance long enough to ask it of her. She wears her shield on her back, and while it protects that area, in such a position it cannot generate the normal bubble of defense.
When she is in her comfort zone, she can be calm, collected and confident. When in an unfamiliar situation, however, she becomes flustered and tends to panic. She dislikes taking orders from others, as she is a good strategist, and though she is probably not a "born leader", she - well, she has yet to obtain a chance to prove her abilities, since after all, she is just a recruit.

And that's the first.
You're doing splendidly, Creeperlucario! The paragraph divisions make it MUCH easier to read, and your grammar is looking pretty good. For a few moments, I'd forgotten whose post I was reading, and that's a really, really good thing.
The only thing I would change is the tense. Try using third-person past tense, instead of first-person past. For example, say "She got to Gallon" instead of "I got to Gallon."
@Remiliaoftheearth: Your character looks really unique and interesting. Accepted!
Thanks and a possible Punkin battle depending if he says "Trick!"
Hey, sorry about disappearing in Shadows of the Void. Had some writer's block and got busy with things.
Name: Bowie
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Rank: Valkyrian Hero (Akin to the Spiral Order's Vanguard.)
Appearance: Bowie stands about 6' tall and weighs around 190lbs. He has a slender build and excellent flexibility from training in acrobatics and sword training. Wearing a scarlet cape with a golden underside, he is a handsome young knight. His turquoise eyes speak volumes about what he has witnessed in his life, both on the battlefield and off. Framing his face, his blond hair is kept in check with a headband dyed baby blue. Out of his armor, he still wears the cape and forest green tunic with leather boots.
Equipment: He wears the standard equipment of a Valkyrie but carries a Grey Owlite Shield. His sword, which he affectionately calls The Force Sword, is an ancient relic blade. A modified Divine Avenger, the edges glow a holy green. Holding the blade aloft to the heavens and speaking the magic words, lightning erupts from the blade.
Magic: His bloodline can be traced back for over a thousand years to Max, another hero of Valkyrie legend. He has command of the ability to shock foes with a burst of lightning bolts and to teleport to a safe location when things go badly. In battle he can use the magic of lightning only three or four times, as it is mentally exhausting.
Status: Resistant to Shock, Fire, Shadow. Deals: Shock, Holy
Personality and history: Brave, with a heart of gold. Also an intelligent and observant fighter, solving the mystery of the ruins of Ribble by placing a wooden board in the knothole of a tree. A far cry from several years ago when he was a mischievous young swordsman under the tutelage of Sir Astral, a great wizard. Back in those days, he'd oversleep and miss school or go along with his friends on mischievous adventures like sneaking into the castle under the pretense of delivering a package to Sir Astral to see the Princess, even looking in her wardrobe! The transformation into the born leader and master swordsman took place during the war to seal Zeon, a powerful, almost demonic fallen Valkyrie. Still a humble swordsman, he gathered up a few friends and his Drakon, Kiwi to help his king. This long campaign took several years and over the course of the campaign, several allies fell in combat or made the penultimate sacrifice for him. The most memorable was at the end of it all, when Sir Lemon restrained Zeon and walked into the sealing circle. On that day, he wept for them all, even though his ragtag band of friends and mates had won the day. Peace would return and he and his allies were called, "The Shining Force" for their deeds.
After some rest, he headed off to Haven for the next big adventure. One with the bloodline of a hero never rests for too long in one place. There would always be someone who needs help, and that is what his purpose in life was, to fight the good fight and make new allies in the process. Plus the spoils of victory are always nice to have. Give him a chance and he'll talk your ear off about his exploits and how Jaha pulled a piece of ship planking so hard he flew into the sea!
And, the second.

Name: Feravis
Age: Roughly 1 1/2.
Gender: Female.
Species: Wolver (specifically, a Tier 1 normal Ash Tail at the moment)
Appearance (I added her to Vesta's link)
Feravis was born in a small, comfortable pack in a small, comfortable Wolver Den around Depth 1. She lived the first year of her life training with her elders and playing with those her age, eating mostly shrubbery - a must for a den that size, vacated by all potential meat. The place was generally warm, but oddly enough, even in winter, Feravis felt very little of the cold that left the rest of the pack shivering and huddling together, never leaving shelter. She herself had been out exploring.
Soon after her first birthday, one morning she woke to find an uncomfortable itch in her shoulders. She couldn't shake it away, so went in search of another, who with one glance at her fled whimpering to fetch the rest of the pack. She seemed to have grown feathery wings, not even decent fiery ones; no indeed, to add to her embarrassment, these were a brilliant white!
Embarrassment turned to terror, as she was turned from the pack, an outsider. With painful wounds both on her body and in her soul, she began to traverse the more shallow Clockworks depths, searching for a place to call her home once more. After almost a month, she made her way to the surface and searched there.
No wolvers of any type she came across would greet her in anything bordering on a friendly manner, often attacking her without a word. Hiding where she can, she has lived nothing near the life she would have wished for.
She would do much to find a friend.
Erm, is there a possible battle against Punkin King or not thin? Trick for battle until he dies or Treat with a fight much later on...
@Remiliaoftheearth: Both are accepted! Have fun!
@Creeperlucario: A fight with the Punkin King would be rather meaningless, and meaningless battles usually just bog down the story. If there's to be a fight, it needs to be worth it.
Thanks! :D
I wanted to try using a character who's pretty much the complete opposite of me ^^
Vinny's latest post seems to suggest that Lt Feron and a squad or 2 of his got through into haven and set up a base of sorts. How did they get past Me, The other Almirians and Fennel without even being seen or heard?
It's possible if they landed opposite to the Chasm, which was what apparently happened to each and all of us so far.
...which is why the rules state that players aren't allowed to use NPCs. I was planning on incorporating the story of Haven's occupation.
@Creeper: Well its nice to see you trying to give Mortis a nice place for his eternal rest. But I have a fading feeling the Punkin King would either have known Mortis' left or, I say this lightly, would not really care that much. But you opened this can-o-worms. We might as well finish it, hopefully with little or no fighting...This just feels like a Ploy to get Mortis back into his grave :L
Changed it and removed Punkin King from the recent part...
So am I blacklisted or something? Just tell me what to change and I'll change it.
Hang in there, I'm still at my job. I may have just missed your app, that's all. :(
Edited to make the one-scene NPC not Feron, if that's alright.
Or should I just wipe the whole dialogue thing?
Instead of Lft., you could do Sarge? :P
@Granseal: It seems I *did* get a look at your app, but forgot to reply. :/
There's really not enough personality to my liking. This is all we know about him:
"Brave, with a heart of gold," and "fights for the helpless."
That's it. We don't know how he reacts to strangers, what his outlook on life is, what happens when he trips over his own two feet, how he'd react to being randomly kissed by a girl, or what he does when he's off-duty. We know almost nothing about him except that he's basically Link.
Mind embellishing his personality for us? :D
*Reads above post*
...how he'd react to being randomly kissed by a girl...
*Wonders how Gallon would react if he was randomly kissed by a Girl*.
@Edolas: We just need some kind of idea about how a character would respond to any given situation. People have a tendency to take a list of examples as an exhaustive list, and I wanted to avoid giving that impression.
*Wonders how Mortis would react to kissing a Girl no adays*
How does magic in the RP exactly work, Thin? Is it like a Harry Potter thing (oh please no), or is it more of a Dungeons and Dragons (use certain amount of powers per day. Kind of like mana)?
Additionally, how can Fennel encounter a Battle Sprite? Would he salvage one among the rubble?
