question

If I jump in the story mid-stream, can I be a rogue knight occasionally appearing, the one who has fallen into disgrace from illness/injury or being alone too long in battle?

@Liminori- Actually you can hear the tone of text. It's dependent on the writer's diction, or "word-choice". The Style of the passage is the manner in which you choose to express yourself, and the Tone of a passage is the attitude or mood revealed by the Style.

@Iamnoone

Certainly! You can pretty much be whoever you want to be. I'll still require a character application, though. :)

@Immortous: right on the money.
@Liminori: he's right. Allow me to make a sample for you. In this demo, I'll be instructing you to write properly, while using different tones.

Helpful: "Write properly and with good grammar."
Impatient: "Just write properly, okay?"
Angry: "Your grammar sucks. Write properly for once!"
Rude: "Dude, fix your frikkin' grammar."
Conceited: "It's so simple. Just write properly and with good grammar."
Encouraging: "It's okay, keep trying to write properly. You'll get there."
Sarcastic: "Yay! You can write properly!"

It's all in the word choice.

Evera and Lilith shall someday make an appearance. One of them is a villain.

Actually, it's the whole line "well guess what" that suggests an attitude. It typically heralds a spiteful reaction, kinda like, "You think I'm a sucker, huh? Well guess what: I'm not!" It may have been intended as friendly, but it comes off spiteful. That's all. Nobody's PO'd about it. :)

@Kaijuhunter: You expressed a desire to draw some characters in the story thread. I'd like to take you up on it, but I can't describe the character(s) to you here (it's a secret!). Can I describe the character via in-game mail?

@Vinnydime: Your character Thomas has a standing order from Ozlo to pay him a visit. Apparently, Gwenyvier has resolved his situation just as Thomas requested of her.

Limi, I wasn't pissed off or annoyed particularly by your attitude or tone, I was just pointing it out. Chill out. I just felt it was unnecessary and a little uncalled for, though I probably shouldn't have called you out on it, which was most likely unnecessary. I'm not that interested in fighting, please don't make it that way. I hope you find yourself in a better mood soon.

Also, Immortous, you may already have searched about what a dosimeter is by now, but it's a device that measures exposure to radiation. Well, there's different types, but the radiation dosimeter is the most well known. I wanted to let you know, just in case.

WELP! That is either REALLY effective medicine, or I'm just REALLY lucky. I feel completely normal, yet I can skip school! Yay. Give me a few minutes and I'll post something. Sorry I haven't posted often the entire time, I've been busy. EDIT: Wait, before I write my post, two questions that may have story significance. One: are there multiple instances of places in this RP? (Like, more than one firestorm cathedral or gloaming wild-woods.) and two: Can my character have a pet? He won't do much, he'll just be a pet.

@Dmatter- That's up to Thin and Kaiju, but I personally don't see anything wrong with having a pet. I don't know about that multiple instance idea though. It'd kinda mess with geographic sanity and whatnot.

Pets are fine as recurring minor characters. If they begin to have a greater influence on the story (like engaging in combat), a separate character application will be needed.

Also, instancing is not permissible except on a case-by-case basis.

1 1/2 paragraph response to 2 sentences.

@Thin K. He's not really a direct-confrontation-in-the-middle-of-haven kind of guy, but I actually tried twice to get others to try and interact with me, but the others were busy or didn't take the hint. The first time is when I threw my bomb down into that area where most people WHERE congregated, the second time is when my character was standing right there in the open. On the second time I was trying to get Ukai to come and get me to help Topoyozada up, but I admit I was WAY too subtly about that, as Chromo specifically said that he thought he was far enough away to be seen and I was trying to imply that he forgot that Ukai had a greater senses Ect. As you can see, I'm bad at implying things. At next opportunity, I'll try to be much more obvious about it.

Also, re-reading the little "Here's what the story is" at the OP, I think Ive misunderstood something. Have most of the clockwork creatures been transformed, or are they still plenty?

Goodness, I'd clean forgotten about the background! Yes, I think all the monsters are now mutated, and there are no normal ones.

Also, I'd forgotten about that Lady of Light. I see now what Kaijuhunter was referring to. Perhaps Athena is that character? Just an idea. If not, I have someone else in mind, whom Kaijuhunter is drawing for me right now. I'll be introducing the character when it's appropriate.

Sorry, but it's just that when something is pointed out, it makes it sound like a pointed arrow at someone meant to piss me off.
I myself would like to point out, That it is very easy to take things the wrong way. Either someone takes offense to a certain post, even though it was not meant that way, or the way the text was written was misunderstood, and or written in a way to accidentally piss someone off. If you can see where I'm going here, the more I try to explain what I mean, the more it just points at itself.

Anyway. . . I'll try to post the stupid little bio finally. Properly for once that is.

Sorry guys!

Sorry If I made the Swarm Knight (A.K.A Axis) look easy to beat, but 1) he was suprised then, as his shield and sword was cut by Nath. (New Nick for Ultimateknightz's char. Like it, Ultimate?) And 2) I shocked him with a shock pellet (Bullet from Shock Driver, and the other Shock Alchmer line too)

Corrections

First off, note the quality of the knight's armor. It's 5*, which means that he's been grinding the CW for a VERY long time. If it's still shiny, it must be new armor. If he claims to have fought the Swarm, it doesn't mean just one thing; it could mean 1) either he was very good at fighting them in 4* gear, 2) recently fought them without taking damage, 3) is lying, or 4) is a part of the Swarm. Most people assume #3.

Secondly, @Gzilla, Axis need not always actively control the knight. Remember, during the demo, the knight wa autonomously screaming without anyone's prompting, even though he was infected and controllable. Think of the infection as an override; if the Swarm wants him to do something he wouldn't otherwise, he can be controlled.

This means that the knight shouldn't have tipped them off to his infection, unless he remembered what the Master did to him.

So....

@Thin Everyone's assuming #3 as.... well, even Nath couldn't fight swarm without being hurt. Feron was the sole exception, but he IS the commander of the Isorans :P

@Thin Sorry 'bout this second time. So..... Actually, this guy is a normal knight, unless being overridden by the swarm or Axis?

@Ultimaknightz: Nathaniel shouldn't be cutting up 5* swords and shields. Disarmament is acceptable, but gear destruction is not.

@Retaeq: your post feels like it's very late. Nathaniel is no longer on the ground. Top is assisting him in confronting an Azure Guardian knight.

I'll just work with this. But seriously Ultima you shouldn't already figure out the swarms plan in a second, that doesn't help diversify the story in anyway. I made the comment to add suspicion, not as a reason to instantly call out Axis.

Also...

I was hoping for the knight to gain the characters' trust and then suddenly betray them. Knowing that there is a deadly traitor in the party adds a lot of tension, which is broken if everyone finds out early.

But if no one is willing to edit for the sake of a better story, then yeah, I can work with this.

Yes! Kaijuhunter agrees!

I also think it strange that Nathaniel suddenly figures out the Swarm's plan. Also, why is he already so protective of Winter; he barely knows the girl!

I'd enjoy it more if everyone trusts the Knight, then is betrayed by him. It's more suspenseful

Oh well. the last Bio was deleted, so..... Agh, whatever. Dagoon's a mercenary who used to work for the spiral order, then her and her team were sent off outside of haven to do favors for the other towns and settlements before everything went bad and was an apocalypse.
Oh yeah, and the group? Well, now only 2 of them remain. but. . . Dagoon doesn't know that and thinks she's the only one left, considering that the other dude got separated. GOOD ENOUGH?!? I'd really rather not do it properly, and do it more like a review.

New plan

If the swarm forces just get completely destroyed by one person, or if they still suspect the azure knight after this I'll be pretty mad.

EDIT: I still want to see what KoV and Ultima have to say, how do your characters KNOW without a doubt that the knight is swarm infested? There's nothing weird on him except for his armor, this is starting to get on my nerve.

@Gzilla

Nathaniel does NOT know that the knight is swarm-infested. He just thinks that the knight is suspicious and the swarm might've found a way to possess people without visible markings. That's why Nathaniel asked him to explain himself. If that knight provided a reasonable explanation for his armor, shield, and weapons not having any dents or scratches on them, Nathaniel's thoughts about it might've changed. And I thought we already agreed to make the group trust him a bit more. :/ I'm confused.

Power play

Ultimaknightz, you power-played Gwenyvier when you said that she pushed the knight back after he assaulted Nathaniel. It's quite out of character for her, too, so I cannot let it alone.

Alright, no more niceties here....
You need to tone down the "I'm too sexy"/"The world revolves around my holiness" stuff, as well as your power-playing.
Who said Tenebris' blade was flawed? I sure didn't, so it must not be true.
This is supposed to be a co-op of the forum, not the story of your ideal self. We are not supporting characters, and Nathaniel is not the "Main" character. So if you wouldn't mind editing your posts, I'm sure we'd all be able to get along a bit better here.

Usefulness

@Immortous: you're right, but I recently realized that we could harness Nathaniel's "I'm so sexy" attitude by turning it into a character flaw: pride. Through the story, he is proud and vain, but he eventually learns the value of his acquaintances, and learns humility.
