-[Fan-Fic]-CRADLE: TWO PATHS (CURRENTLY ACCEPTING, SEE LAST POST)

Actual Story Can Be Found Here: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/96674
Cradle: Two Paths is an interactive story, where the readers can vote in the comments to make the choice and decide how the story flows. It's not exactly a RP, since the choices are already set out and the readers choose one. It involves a bunch of characters which will be auditioned on this post. All of them will be incorporated in some way.
Currently, I still need:
1 of Will's Squadmates:
Some Main Monsters:
Monsters Who Defected From the Evil Side:
4 Knight Commanders:
More parts will be asked for soon!
PLOT:
The Spiral Order is losing the war. The Gremlins are slowly advancing, taking territories we have won from them back. New weapons of war are forged on both sides, but even then, the Knights are falling. A knight and his allies must save everyone from the onslaught, for if they don't their entire race could vanish. Choose the path of good or evil on your quest to do so. Shall you be a valiant war hero, saving everyone you can? Or a ruthless, cold commander who will sacrifice anyone and anything to save his people? The choice is yours.
Main Character
Name: Will Soran(Full title Capt. Defender Elite Soran)
Gender: Male
Alignment: Good, works for the Spiral Order
Appearance:
-Heavenly Iron Armor, with the hood other cloth parts of it dyed blue. Accessories: Divine Parrying Blade, Mighty Cobalt Crest
-Heavenly Iron Helm, but without the red ring on the back. Accessories: Military Helm Guard, Dusky Bolted Vee
Weapons:
- Modified Valiance(Handgun)
- Ascended Calibur(Sword)
- Mighty Defender(Shield)
Skills:
- Quantum Discharge: Will can release a burst of energy that will knock opponents back and deal significant shock damage. He uses this at a minimum since when he uses it it drains his energy and willpower, getting more tired over time.
- The Zeus Bullet: Since the Gremlins started advancing, new tech has made Will's Valiance more powerful. When charged up, it launches a flare that sprays lightning all around it. Shock is guaranteed with the charged shot. He can only use it once during a mission.
Personality: (That, my friends, is up to the readers. They choose Will's path. based on his actions, we can see who he is.)
History:
Will is a veteran knight, having achieved Defender Elite. He is a valuable asset the the Spiral Order, since they are running low on skilled knights. His pod went off course when Skylark crashed, and had to fight his way back to Haven alone. It left him traumatized, but soon he was running again, helping his fellow knights in battle. The Spiral Order gets word of an assault on the Intel Center where all of the Spiral Order's data and important artifacts/weapons are. Since all the other experienced knights are currently fighting elsewhere, The Spiral Order sends Will to secure the Intel Center.

History: Iur came from a swarm portal, and was the only one of his form. He has always had one thing in mind, kill anything and everything that is not swarm or joined with swarm. He has been searching for years for a way to get to the surface. Finally, one day, he came to the surface. He emerged right in the middle of a battle field, and killed all Knights and Gremlins in sight, some of them became corrupted with swarm. Most of the ones he didn't manage to kill retreated. The unluckly few who didn't make it back in time were killed in the cruelest ways. Iur has since been wandering destroying whoever he saw.
Battle Sprite: none, swarm doesn't have battle sprites

Thank you, your application is appreciated and will be considered!

Name : Madea
Gender : Female
Appearance :
http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121216001353/typemoon/images/f/f...
Alignment : Evil [On the Order's side officially, but has ulterior motives.]
Skills :
Flight - Sprouts a pair of black feathery wings from her back, allowing her to take flight. Helm Guards will activate and appear, and her greaves and boots are given a talon-like appearance, as though she were a Hawk. Longest period of flight she can do without expending too much energy is for half a minute. Extending beyond that will slowly drain her health. Also increases melee damage (given how she's using her talons and gravity to add more force)
Theta - Allows her to enter an ultra-focused, body-straining state that increases her speed and attack exponentially. Attacks damage her twice as much, though, and she becomes blinded to most colors (makes it hard for her to distinct from certain attacks like lasers or Grimalkins, and so forth).
Iron Feathers - Tosses her feathers as if they were knives. They do little damage, but if not blocked properly can stick onto flesh and tear the body as time goes on. Some feathers go deep. Using this while flying deals more damage with an AoE same size as an Irontech Destroyer.
Riposte - Deflects a melee attack and returns with a powerful strike using a different limb. Deals less damage, but pushes the enemy back quite a bit.
Personality : If a coin flip was done in outer space, it'd never reach a proper conclusion. The same could be said for Madea's choices and decisions. Sensitive to both insult and affection as she is, she is a very capable woman in the mind. Sometimes, she'll think strategically and selfishly. Other times, she becomes rash and endangers herself for the sake of the ones she cares for. Though she may seem a little jaded and overly dominative to people, time spent with putting up with her will be time spent making a friend that will be there for life. She's like a little clam, and if treated appropriately, may open up to be a beautiful pearl.
A beautiful black pearl.
Weapons :
Obsidian Blade
Warmaster Rocket Hammer
Armor of the Fallen
Crown of the Fallen
Ironmight Plate Shield
Sample Chapter :
Madea, as she was every day, was calm. On her lap, a dark-haired, white-skinned boy slept. He seemed no older than three, a mere toddler who still spent more time dreaming of utopias than living in real dystopias. She was humming to him an enchanting tune, a tune that was eons old, one that had sat in an old tome on the nightstand next to the bed.
The tone was serene, calming. Her soft cradling, the occasional coos she gave to him, the whispers of affection and tenderness, all of these were what her mother had failed to do. Her mother died in before he could even be properly removed from her womb.
She was only 14 then, and now she was seventeen. An adolescent scrutinized for not aborting the child to spare him a life on this hellhole. An adolescent scrutinized for hope. And if her demotion from being a Champion was the punishment the Order gave to horde more resources, then the muggings and incited conflicts was her way of retaliation. That ration that she gave to a hungry Thwacker, the Wrench Wands and Thwack Hammers she placed throughout Haven. Those little pranks incited unrest among the Knights and Gremlins, caused confusion among the masses...
...it wasn't enough alone to incite a full-on war, but if it meant that the Order and the Great Colony had to lose numbers from confusion, then it was enough to requisition the insults the Order gave her.
But conflict alone could not provide for her younger brother. She realized that she needed to get friendly real fast with a faction, but which one was the question...

Currently, I still need:
5 of Will's Squadmates:
Some Main Monsters:
Monsters Who Defected From the Evil Side:
4 Knight Commanders:
More parts will be asked for soon!
Name: Mephiles
Race: Construct
Alignment: Evil
Appearance: http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4506856494465969&pid=1.7 except in dark black with an orage cape.
Skills: Mephiles is able to release spider drones. They look like this: http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.5007799919706650&pid=1.7
Also, he can contol most metal, and even form it.
Personality: Mephiles can only be described as pure evil, cunning, and cruel.
Weapons:
-A battleaxe that can fire liquid steel
-Plasma cannons all over his body that fire orange plasma.
History: Mephiles was created whe King Tinkizar stole a sleeping demon's soul and infused it within a robot body. Should the soul break free, it would wreak havoc on the world. Anyway, Mephiles appeared out of nowhere for the knights, and began appearing in boss areas, and even areas ment for newbs! A team was sent to investigate; they never came back.

Wow…he is powerful. He would be a boss then, but just try to tone it down. The morphing part is a bit too overpowered…but I like the demon's soul backstory! Just that, and it's fine!

Name: Doomskull
Race: Spiral knight
Alignment: (good or evil) Good, once worked for gremlins.
Appearance: Well, Chaos set, sometimes wears his Seerus mask that he won from Seerus after defecting from the gremlins
Skills: He's average as can be.
Personality: Cocky, arrogant, has a really mean sense of humor. He does have a nice side, but you only earn his respect after saving him from something
Weapons: Warmaster hammer, Dark retribution, Barberous Thorn blade, Voltedge, Blitz needle(modified to shoot while walking), Polaris, and an Umbra driver. (He has a ton of weapons, but can only use 2 at a time)
History: Well, gremlins. He used to be in the crimson order, but defected and got replaced by Herex.
Battle Sprite(If applicable): Doomy, who fully knows all sprite moves. Maskeraith.
Oka,y is it good enough now? I removed the morphing ability and toned the other one down a bit.

@Aekun: Yeah thats better :)
@Doomskull: Accepted! Is he one of Will's Squadmates?

Doomskull is accepted! now I just need more apps for the 4 other squatemates, and 4 knight commandos...

I'm not quite sure if you're still expecting monsters, but I'll give it a go anyways.
Name: (No official name. Nicknamed "Blue")
Race: Frostifur
Alignment: Neurtal. If you won't accept neutral, then good.
Appearance: A perfectly average Frostifur with a missing ear and a beautiful pelt.
Skills: Amazing speed, above average intelligence, cunning.
Personality: mischievous. Oh so mischievous. She'll do anything to meet new friends to play some 'tricks' on. She is always by herself, yet always with someone to play a trick on.
Weapons: Sharp fangs, sharp claws.
History: History is unknown, as she is unable to talk and no one knows. It doesn't matter at all anyways. All anyone knows is that she plagues both sides of the war with her tricks and traps. She is a rogue Frostifur that has killed many knights and gremlins alike. She sets traps, and stalks her prey. Knights who have escaped her den say that she tries to scare you as much as possible before killing you.
Battle Sprite(If applicable): Nope
Notes: I don't know if it's possible to make blue a main character. She can be a very minor one if you like. Even. If she is only in one chapter. If she had to choose a side, she would be with whoever gives her the most food.
She is also tamable, and can be quite friendly to knights under the right circumstances.
Also, don't expect people to post every few minutes. You don't need to bump your thread after a little more than an hour. Be patient, things take time here.

Blue can become Will's companion over time, if that's ok with you. And thank you for the advice, although patience has not always been my strong suit XD

Remember when Blue used to be the girl who got mutilated horribly in Artifice's "Redemption"? :P

I require the four other of Will's squad mates!

Thanks Psych, that's fine.
Can I give you another application for one of wills squad mates?

Name: MechTeka
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Almirian, Half-Isoran
Alignment: Good, Spiral Order
Skills:
*Highly skilled Striker
*Fire manipulation & immunity
*Chaos energy manipulation
Personality:
MechTeka has a very unstable mind. He acts all seerus in a mission or just when fighting enemies, then becomes laid back when in Haven or when the monsters are gone, and speaks in a passive-aggressive manner no matter the situation. He also can be very aggressive and violent, as during a recent mission he was noted for beating the gremlin corpses until the healer was down (he claimed to be preventing the healer from reviving them). Regardless of that, he values the lives of innocents and puts his teammates safety before his own.
Gear:
*Divine Veil w/ Piercing Medium UV
*Skolver Coat
*Dragon Scale Shield
Weapons:
*Gokai (Primary Weapon) - A Japanese Feudal-Era katana blade which deals pure normal damage and has a high chance of strong Fire. The charge is similar to a Cutter-line charge, except it sends out a Meteoric Firebolt on the last swing. The blade appears to be on fire, but this is just an illusion (and yet it still casts off light). When not in use, Gokai is held in a black sheath ornamented in steel that's attached to MechTeka's waist.
*Black Barrage - A darkened Leviathan Blade covered in shadowy energy, which allows it to deal shadow damage as well as normal. Damage is equivalent to Obsidian Edge, with a slight chance of minor curse on the charge for both the user and enemies alike, similar to Fang of Vog and Gran Faust.
Battle Sprite:
Shiki: Drakon with an abnormally dark-gray and black hue rather than maroon.
Attacks: Meteoric Firebolt, Scorching Barrier, Explosive Firestorm
Other Abilities: Can turn into a pair of dragon wings and attach to the back of MechTeka's jacket, allowing him to fly; has a neural link to MechTeka so he can use Shiki without shouting a command, as well as Shiki (in wing form) controlling his body if MechTeka is knocked unconscious.
Appearance:
*Him and his sprite

Name: Eve
Race: Spiral Knight (Researcher)
Alignment: Good
Appearance
Skills: Able to identify enemies hidden weaknesses
Personality: Calm, patient, likes researching and usually quiet
Weapons: Has a robotic guard who defends her, the robot is called Oberon. Oberon attacks by swinging his 2 blades, if the enemies is stuck in a corner, Oberon will combo it to death.
History: Eve is a researcher who has been helping out the knights since they came. However, as the gremlins started advancing farther, Eve had to create a robot guard to shield her. She is looking for more ways to help the knights.
Battle Sprite(If applicable): Has 2 modules that act like pets but don't fight.

Sure, why not!
Also, are the two knights Will's squadmates?

Name: Subject: 6
Race: Gremlin/wolver crossbreed
Alignment: "Good" (I'd say chaotic good personally, but whatever)
Appearance: Large hunched back with various vials sticking out of it that leads down to a small tail. Though she still has a gremlin's face, the mutation created a pronounced underbite with alpha fangs protruding at most times. Also carries the Battle Standard of the Spiral Order to avoid confusion. Lastly, the restraints that adorn her neck, ankels, and wrists. Worn as a reminder her ordeals.
Skills: Chemical Imbalance: The mechanism in her back, detecting a battle, administers chemical agents throughout it's body, giving six a toxic bite. Litterally
Insatiable Hunger: As bloodlust sets in, six revels in death, absorbing the energy of each unit she kills, partially restoring her health.
No Remorse: Driven by pain, Six is driven into a blood frenzy that makes her more powerful as she comes nearer to her own death. Attack speed and damage increase the more she flirts with death, however, this rage ends her ability to heal
Personality: Confused, abused, and very angry. Not likely to trust or rely on anyone. Though she has retained some of her knowledge of both human and beast language, speaking is a task reguardless, and would avoid it if possible as she can't seem to speak correctly. Will ignore anyone talking to her most of the time, unless it's a commanding officer.
Weapons: Long hooked claws on both hands and feet, great for getting a hold on the earth...or an enemy to drag them closer to her toxic maw.
History: Once part of the Crimson order, six was "randomly" chosen to be part of a radical new experiment after denoucing a ranking officer. The days turned into months as the order played with her DNA, bending and twisting her form into that of a monster. The purpose of the expirements were to foster a super soldier capable of finding enemies and tearing them apart with the precision of an alpha wolver. The mission was canceled however, the project shouded in mystery and lies after a containment breach lead to the escape of the prisoners. As the compound burned, it took the evidence (and corpses) with it. Her mind had been so changed, so damaged throughout the years, that she had only two things left; A hatred for all things gremlin, and a number. 6. she was found by the spiral order during a recon of a gremlin fortress. Though they found the base empty of gremlins, they did find six, covered in blood. As the years passed, the oder has treated six as a wild child, not knowing what do do with her. Though she was useful in fights, she wouldn't listen to orders, leading to failed missions. Until they stuck her into the veteran Will Soran's squad. Some belive it to be Will's heavenly appearence, or her fear of electricity that keeps her in line. The truth however, is unclear as to why she listens to Will.

Reminds me of Grunt from Mass Effect! Very well, accepted!

Ok then...just 1 more knight available, and that spot is for Valorai...

Ok then...just 1 more knight available, and that spot is for Valorai...

Blue is just a monster that occasionally helps Will. But they become closer allies over time.

I need more female characters, this is gonna be a bit like Mass Effect...

Oh gosh...you sure you want that? It's your choice.
Ok..six is a girl.
Awww darn. Can there be five more members? I wanted to submit a knight.

There are 4 Knight commanders who aren't Will's squad mates you can make.
Name: Aekun
Race: Knight
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Skolver Set with Divine Scarf, Dusky Eye of Fury
Design Color: Purple
Personal Color: Purple
Skills: Can control his Drakon with his thoughts
Personality: Aekun has what could only be described as bipolar, in the sense that he can sometimes be a very nice and caring guy, but then switch to cold and unfeeling. Also, he has a fondness for sweets, especially chocolate chip cookies, and can be found eating them at inappropriate times, and he often carries some in his pack.
Weapons: Wyvern Scale Shield with purple spikes instead of ice blue spikes, Triglav: A Triglav with purple energy instead of blue energy, Winter Needle: An ice version of the Blitz Needle. Bomb of a Thousand Winters: A bomb that when exploded will cover everything within a ten foot radius with ice, excluding your party members.
History: Aekun landed before most of the knights, and was forced to fight a slew of monsters, receiving a buttload of scars. Eventually, he worked his way up to Vanguard, and he became a Knight Captain.
Battle Sprite(If applicable): A white Drakon named Mekko

Character heartily accepted! Can't wait to begin the story...

Make a seperate thread for the story so it's easily findable, and add-to-able

I've finished my swarm app

Why do you always make the same App? With the same picture and everything, why not shake it up a little?

Name: Nick
Gender: Male
Alignment: Spiral Order
Appearance: Sunset hat, Sunset Duster,
Weapons:
- Strike Needle (May change after gunner update.)
- Shadow Driver (Also may change)
- Argent Peacemaker
- Boosted Plate shield
Skills:
-Very accurate, due to massive amounts of practice, takes a second or two to aim.
Personality: Quiet, doesn't speak unless required, can be seen often practicing ,or checking the condition of his weapons making sure they are at peak condition, doesn't ask questions.
History: Not much is that special, landed on cradle, Practiced, made way to Haven, Practiced, earned up to Defender, Practiced. That's why he is accurate. Assigned to Will's squad (Plz?) as the Gunner.

Well, there isn't, but he can be on of the other four knight commandos.

Can MechTeka be a Commando? I dunno, I just want him to go solo for this.

Oh! good! You have all your characters! Can't wait for the story.

I'm waiting for you to make that knight on Will's squad, you asked first. That would be the last knight on his squad.
Also, your characters can have special powers, but make sure there is a good reason for them having that power(s) and don't make the character overpowered.
