This is my first Fanfic, based on a rejected "boss character" from Carbonjinxmesa's fanfic "Guilds and Gremlins". Feel free to criticize. Here are a few things different about this fanfic than most others you'll find:

- Posters are allowed to create Generic/Boss enemies for the fanfic (For example, A huge, 2-armed lumber that entangles foes in vines)
- Posters are allowed to insert an action or two that their character does, which will be accepted based on the situation, and the character.
- Other notes will be in the application template.
- Multiple of the base character's names will have other meanings in norse and various other languages, so go look them up when you get the chance.

APPS: (Note the character may be slightly edited to fit in better. If you edit the bio yourself, please say so.)

Name: (If your character's name has a meaning, please list it)

Age: (Knights in this fanfic live as long as an average human, gremlins live for 130 years, constructs live as long as they're intact, creature's lifespans vary.)

Race: (Available races are Isorans (Knights), Gremlins, Constructs, Various sentient creatures)

Alignment: (Good, Evil, Neutral)

Preferred Squad Role (Basically you pick which part of the team you'd want your knight to be, Guardian, Recon knight, Gunner, Bomber, Tech knight/medic, Striker)

Gender: (Self explanatory)

Appearance: (Pictures are accepted)

Equipment: (If custom gear is wanted, please describe it's look and function.)

Personality: (Self explanatory)

Bio: (No, we don't need a whole new thread for the backstory of your character, Midnight. Other than that, feel free to make your bio as big as you'd like.)

Chapter 1: Creation

"Is the camera running?" Asked Mithrod, An aging gremlin schemer, "Yes sir, shall I uplink the footage to the Warmaster?" "Aye, and make haste. We only have so long until the source dissipates."

The gremlin made his way to a small console, and entered a chain of commands, linking their camera with the Viewing screen within Seerus' chambers. "Sector S-48-B, if this isn't about Project Egil, I don't want to hear it." said a raspy, deep voice.

"D-don't worry, Warmaster. Project Egil is underway, and we would like you to view footage of it's combat testing." replied, Mithrot, timidly.

"Very well, carry on." Mithrod motioned to his assistant, who proceeded to switch the camera to the testing arena they had built. Multiple retrodes, mecha knights, and scuttlebots were sent in as targets. They all turned their attention to the doorway adjacent to them, in which out stepped another mecha knight. But this one as different.

The mecha knight was the size of the collector, and build to match. It was fitted with heavy, blackened armor, and wielded a blade based off the design of leviathan blades used by their enemy, the Spiral order. Mithrod sent the constructs the order to attack it, in which they followed without hesitation.
The Scuttlebots and knights moved in to engage in melee combat, as the retrodes took position to arm their laser attacks, in which the solitary knight raised it's shield in defense. Upon the constructs hitting the shield, it opened a rift which sucked the melee assailants inside. moments later, they returned, with similar coloration, and proceeded to rip through the remaining retrodes with ease.

"Excellent work, Mithrot." Chuckled Seerus, "I dub project Egil a success, and hereby promote you to lead schemer. "Thank you, Warmaster. What shall we refer to it as?" The masked gremlin was silent, thinking of a fitting name. "Call it Atropos, the void knight." Very well, sir. We shall ship atropos to the arsenal immediately.

After the uplink was closed, they proceeded to enter the shutdown command into the console, which it did not respond to. "Sir, the shutdown sequence isn't working." Mithrod looked up from his desk, "Odd. Shut it down manually, then."

The assistant grabbed his tool kit, and made his way down to the testing arena. When he arrived, the entire floor was covered in a black substance, which was slowly advancing toward the door he just opened. In the middle stood the mecha knight, and his converted constructs. Before he made his he made his way over, he was contacted by Mithrod. "What's going on down there? The cameras have all gone static-y!" "I'm not sure sir, but the Mecha knight hasn't made any- He paused to notice an incredibly sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He looked down to notice himself being lifted into the air by the knight's huge blade, which had impaled him. It brought him up to it's head, and bellowed, "JOIN US." It then let him slip off it's blade, in which he was consumed by the substance covering the floor, becoming a blackened gremlin with glowing purple eyes. Atropos' eyes flickered, and it charged through the doorway, up to the lab.

"Respond, for Slime's sake!" Said Mithrod over the radio, who then heard the sound of footsteps coming from the testing arena. "Oh, you're back, I've been trying to contact you for HOLY-" He narrowly dodged a swing from the gremlin, and proceeded to run through the doorway out of the Laboratory. He bumped into one of the lab's guards, who turned around in response. "Hey, watch where you're go- oh, apologies. What seems to be the problem?" Gasping for air, Mithrod said, "Evacuate everyone from the lab and surrounding area, and block entry to the lab. Project Egil has gone haywire, and must be contained at all costs." "Uh... anything else sir?" "Yes, although I regret it's come to this. Contact the Spiral Order."

Ill keep an eye on this one.

Hm.

I've been gone for a while and I want to start being more active. I guess I'll start by following this. Seems interesting enough. Here's a little tidbit for some of the other peeps here: Atropos was one of the Greek Fates and a daughter of Zeus. Ironically enough, she and her sisters have power over even Zeus himself. Maybe a similar "holy shit my creation went terribly wrong" moment will occur somewhere in here. Or maybe i'm an idiot who overthinks things.

Chapter Two, for those who are actually reading...

Chapter 2: Beck and Call

Today was a busy day. Most were, in Destin's line of work; sometimes he was filing reports on the condition of the arcade, sometimes he was stopping a brawl at the auction house, and sometimes he was just standing there. But today was different: today he was being assigned to lead a squad of recon rangers into the clockworks, on a crucial mission. As per the usual mission briefing, it went as follows: Go here, find this, eliminate that.

He was making his way to the bazaar when he was greeted by a courier, who proceeded to hand him a letter and run off. Destin paused to look at the letter's return address, which it apparently lacked. "Probably some nonsense one of the squires wrote.." he figured, before opening it. Inside was a tattered piece of paper with the words "Meet me at the pub." written on it. As a member of the haven security force, it was his task to make sure such things weren't going to cause issues, so naturally, Destin set off to the local pub to meet the sender of the letter. During the walk there, downpour had begun, making his arrival at the pub all that much sweeter.

Nothing seemed out of place, knights were going about with normal business you'd find in an average pub, drinking, laughing, talking, playing pool, etc, with the exception of a man in a dark grey coat and hat in the front left corner, sitting there as if waiting for someone. Upon Destin entering the room, the man looked up, and gestured for him to over.

Speaking softly with a dutch accent, the man said, "Have a seat Destin, I have important news on your assignment."

"I take it you're the one who sent me the letter?"

"That is correct." said the man, shifting the pipe he was smoking.

"So what is this news that you so desperately have to tell me?"

"All I have to say is that the mission will fail."

Shocked by this response, Destin replied, "And just who are you anyways, to have such information?"

"I'm glad you asked. My name is Sigurd, second in command of the recon rangers."

"Alright, and how is it that the mission will fail? Do you not trust in the skill of your fellow rangers?"

"I trust in my kinsmen's skill plenty. It's not that which I'm worried about."

"What is it then?" said Destin, slowly growing impatient.

"What you're going up against is unlike anything seen as of yet on cradle, and will tear through your squad without breaking a sweat, if such a thing needs to."

"Look here Sigurd, I've bested the Snarbolax, The Royal Jelly, The Roarmulus Twins, Arkus, Margrel, and Lord Vanaduke. There really isn't anything I can't best."

"Well, no one's stopping you, so go right ahead with that if that's how you want to spend you and your squad's lives.", Sigurd said, shaking his head.

Destin looked at the time. What felt like 15 minutes was actually 2 hours, and so he only had 20 minutes to report to the lift he was assigned to take.
"Thanks for the "Info", I'll be going now." He said before getting up and rushing out the door. Upon arriving, he was greeted by the rest of his squad.
Abbas, the guardian, Makoa, the recon knight/gunner, and Torfy, the tech knight/bomber. Destin filled the role as striker/squad leader.

After being taken down to lower levels, the squad had finally begun it's mission. They had been deployed into a part of candlestick keep, a remnant of the mage's college of the owlites, an ancient race thought to be wiped off the face of the planet by the various kat tribes. Suspecting the usual undead in this area, the members of the team equipped themselves with elemental and piercing weaponry, for the occasional fiend that would show up. A couple steps in, and there were already various spookats and zombies appearing out of the floor.

Destin drew his combuster to parry the oncoming blow from a slag walker, before stabbing it through the rib cage and throwing it onto another. Torfy, not having enough time to set up any mines or charges, armed an electron vortex and tossed it into a crowd of hurkats and dust zombies. Abbas followed up with a charge attack from his sudaruska, decimating the crowd. At this point, trojans and silkwings have begun to warp in via fiendish portals, only to be bursted down from behind by Makoa's blitz needle. After the fight, they made their way to the next lift, dispatching the occasional spookat on the way.

A couple levels down, they began to notice the lift was going down a lot faster than normal, and each level didn't have near as many enemies as they'd normally have. They shrugged it off until they arrived at their destination, Sector S-48-B. The ground was covered in a black substance that Destin and his squad have all seen before: The swarm; Alongside that, they noticed the normal minimap becoming staticy. Making a slow advance into the lab, they were surprised that void creatures hadn't rose up to attack them. Upon reaching the inside of the lab, a void gremlin charged at them with what appeared to be a tool kit of some sort in it's hands, only to be shot down by Makoa's grim repeater.

Before advancing any further, the squad searched the upper lab for any hints on just what they were going up against. With all of the consoles and monitors offline, they had to rely on the various spare parts and schematics laying around for an idea of what it was. Based on what was found, they figured it was another prototype construct that went berserk and killed everyone. They made their way down to the testing arena to finish their mission, with Makoa moving in first to scout out the area. When the rest of the team arrived, they found makoa being lifted up by Atropos, who somehow saw through her recon cloak, before crushing her skull with it's fist.

Trying to keep a cool head, Destin gave the order to attack it, with Abbas drawing it's fire, Torfy making an escape route, and himself dealing the actual damage. It countered the plan by spawning multiple void lumbers and mortafires to prevent Torfy from planting bombs, and to make Abbas defend his back and front. Now all it had to deal with was Destin, who was trying to get rid of the mortafires alongside Torphy. "Fall back! we aren't going to be able to take this thing without a plan!" Destin yelled.

"Where to? We're next to surrounded!" Replied Abbas

"Torphy, make a hole in their forces with one of your vortex bombs!" Said Destin.

"On it!" Said torphy, arming a graviton vortex to throw.

Just as he threw the bomb into the crowd surrounding the stairway, he was impaled by Atropos. Using the last bit of his conscience, he armed every bomb at this disposal, and detonated them all at once, ripping through the shield it was carrying, before falling to the floor to be consumed. Abbas and Destin took the distraction and ran up the stairway to the lift. Abbas Nearly got their before he was shot in the leg by what appeared to be a blitz needle round. "What in the world?" He said, turning to face what hit him.

"Et tu, Abbas?" Said Makoa, softly.

"But you were, were.." Abbas started to say.

He didn't finish he sentence as he was shot down by Makoa's blitz needle. Destin turned on the lift to go back to the surface as Atropos walked over to claim the fallen guardian's shield. On his way up, he heard a familiar voice come from behind him say, "I told you the mission would fail.."

Dewca

Nice

Loving the story so far, do you want/need apps?

Mon, 03/30/2015 - 15:03

Dewca

Well I guess i'm first...

Name: Refal

Age: 29

Race: Isoran

Alignment: Good

Gender: Male

Appearance: Quite tall for a knight. Sharp face with bright blue eyes that constantly flick around, scanning the area. Wears a sky blue scarf around his neck that usually covers his mouth.

Equipment: Divine Veil and Skolver Coat, Divine Avenger, Polaris and a Grey Owlite Shield

Personality: A generally happy guy. If he's angry or mad he won't show it. Often worries for his friends and close ones meaning he is often extremely protective of his allies. He's very optimistic and always smiles. When he isn't smiling you know something seriously bad is happening with his life or someone else. He also has a grudge against gremlins.

Bio: With his parents killed when he was 10 by gremlins, at a young childhood he came out with depression. He barely went outside and simply sat on his bed and did nothing. However at 18 years old he eventually grew out of it and met a young girl just as old as he was. They started talking every month, then every week and every day and guess what happened? Yep, they realized they loved each other (At this point they were about 23). This girl had practically saved Refal's life. From a lonely kid who never smiled he had become the joyful soul he is now. He owned her in any way shape or form. Then one day she just disappeared. He had no idea of where she had gone and he had no contact with her. All he had was he Divine Avenger she had left in her room (He uses it now). Even though Refal doubted she was alive he kept his optimistic personality so he wouldn't forget what she had done for him. Refal normally wanders through the Cradle with a tiny spark of hope that he may see her again.

Someone actually put an app here? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS

@Dewca Your app's accepted, although I don't want to spoil the story by telling you where he's going to fit in.
@Everyone Thank you reading, I'll have the next chapter done by tomorrow.

Critzer

Hmmmm

Name: Mai, but she is preferred to be called Critzer due to her berserk-ish style of fighting

Age: 24

Race: Isoran with a bit of modification

Alignment: She is the chaotic neutral. Her interest are lead by who seems the most fun, she tends to stick with the good guys cause they can be nicer and usually dont end up dead.

Gender: Female

Appearance: Cute, A bit more ferocious

Equipment: Her equipment is a full skolver set, grey owlite shield, a gran faust, fearless rigadoon, her combuster and her trusty magma driver. She had the shield due to standard issue but prefers to duel wield when she has the upper hand of surprise on the enemy. She hates the cold and so that is why she wears skolver.

Personality: Morbid, insane, friendly-ish, and crazy. "Chop, chop, chop" is a phrase she likes to use, mainly when she is slicing and dicing and setting things ablaze. She has a unyielding bond with those who become friends with her, which isnt to hard, just have to have manners, be polite, and not push her buttons. But the second someone dares lay a finger on her friends (harmful finger btw), in comes the blood-lust, the carving and the sometimes cannibalistic Critzer that we all love.

Bio: Critzer was an experiment. Just as the gremlins experimented with vastly overpowered constructs, the Isorans made biological advances to help coup with cradle and its problems that they encountered. One of those problems was the sheer amount of fire in cradle, gremlins used it, the undead used it, constructs, beast, and it was everywhere and it constantly killed knights left and right. So they decided why not make a knight who was immune to it, why not make one that used it against the foes? And so the mission was one to develop the flaming knight. Many merely com-busted into flames, these were failed experiments, mere data to be used. Then came Mai, who watched her parents be slaughtered in front of her before she was abducted. Lots of the science done was hush hush and so this, just like others were excused.
Mai was merely meant for data, expected to pop just like the others, but she didnt instead she had a burning desire in her that could be matched by no one else. A 6 year old had more desire to rip the fleshy hearts out of her captors then a starving, caged gremlin. This desire with the experiment performed on her turned her into a beating fury of wrath and destruction. Her skin became a dark crust of charred skin, her body temperature would make any mercury thermometer pop, and her fury was equated to her madness. It broke her, they made her a monster, one they did not intend to make one they couldn't control one that escaped. She truly felt joy, glee and compassion as the ripped the intestines from one of her captives to ring the neck of the next one she encountered. That day, she learned that she liked pain, seeing it, giving it, and taking it, when it came to her enemies.
Mai adapted quickly and though still in full madness and insanity, she was able to control her fury, her blood-lust, and her morbid fantasies. She made many allies, although most new she was insane, they still stuck to her merely due to how nice she was to them and the trust they could put into her. She advanced up the ranks slower then most, mainly due to her attitude, she didnt necessarily like orders from those she didnt socialize with much, which led to her neutral status.
All in all, nice girl till you screw her over.

Moonlight-Traveler

You'd think I'd be good at making subjects by now

Accepted, great bio by the way.

Mon, 03/30/2015 - 21:11

Critzer

OH, almost forgot!

Critzer's skins is still charred even, but it doesnt hurt her, just fairly unappealing. Her skin neck and up is fine though. If you plan on going this far into detail such as removing helmets and such, her skin is tan and her hair is white, along with her eyes. It gives some depth, its shocking, its weird, and it creeps people out if she were to 'chip/peel' some of her skin off, which is quiet disgusting.

*Quite

Sounds good. I take it Mai/Critzer is the same character you have in Aquilon Company? If so, that'll make displaying her pesonality a breeze.

dERP

I'd like to try my hand at an application. It'll be my first in months, so forgive me if there are any unacceptable errors.

Name: Hikari, meaning light in Japanese. Her alias among the Spiral Order is Athena, akin to the goddess of wisdom.

Age: 20

Race: Isoran

Alignment: good

Gender: female

Appearance: Has long, messy brown hair. Normally, she’ll let it hang loose, but when her hood is down or she’s focusing on a shot, she ties it up in a ponytail so her bangs don’t cover her eyes. Her eyes sparkle sea blue, giving an almost ethereal look about them. She has a fit, slim figure and slight callouses on her index finger from pulling the trigger so many times. She also has black-rimmed spectacles which neatly frame her eyes, and a light sprinkle of freckles accentuates her features.

Equipment: Armor- divine veil/mighty cobalt armor
Weapons/shield- Acheron and Argent peacemaker for most missions, occasionally dons the Mighty Defender. She switches to the Raptor sidearm and V5-Falcon sniper rifle when on stealth/recon missions, but sometimes uses her raptor during assault missions as well. The Falcon is a silenced sniper rifle that uses fifty caliber bullets infused with trace amounts of crystal energy. This provides it with breaching capability (piercing damage) and elemental damage as well, making it ideal for busting constructs into smithereens. It sports an adjustable scope, with magnification ranging from 2x to 100x No, she doesn't run around quickscoping. That's very unrealistic. The Falcon is rather heavy, since it's such a bulky rifle, and so is only used for support from afar. You know, like an actual sniper rifle. Here’s a picture of the Falcon: http://digital-art-gallery.com/picture/big/18532

Personality: Hikari is rather rude at times, without even trying to be. She suffers from mild Asperger’s syndrome and prefers to calls things as she sees them, so you can expect her to be honest and impartial. She analyzes things more closely than most people, and will not hesitate to call her superiors fools for making bad decisions. In the heat of battle, Hikari is brutal and merciless, shooting even Wolver pups in cold blood. Nobody really sees it, but she is shy deep down and simply uses her intelligence as a facade to hide the extremely socially awkward girl underneath. She desires to have friends, but doesn’t know how to make them.

Bio: Hikari’s father was an outlaw who defected to the Gremlins, and her mother was a scientist. Being raised solely by her mother, Hikari had a rather bleak childhood. She never spent time with her sole parent, since the latter was always in her lab, deep in study. She was always expected to do well in school, and so followed her mother’s lead, doing nothing but reading on most days. As a result of this, she utterly lacks social skills and has no true friends, though she desperately wants them. At the age of 17, Hikari joined the Spiral Order under the false name of Athena, and quickly discovered that she was incredibly gifted with guns. She was less than stellar when it came to swordplay and almost blew herself up during bomb training, but was the first and only recruit to ace the marksmanship test: with a standard issue Blaster, no less. After this, she quickly rose through the ranks. Though her calculating approach to situations made her an excellent tactician, she never assumed a role of leadership- partially because of her lack of confidence in that area, and partly because of her lack of social skills. (Please make her find friends if she gets accepted XD poor girl has none)

Maaaaaybe

@Critzer: She's not too much of a tsundere. She doesn't punch people and call them baka. She's more of a kuudere, with a bit of dandere. Tsunderes show emotion, but Hikari tends not to do that. Sorry if this is a bit confusing XD

Wed, 04/01/2015 - 06:43

Nah i understand

You know i had a character in mind that would be pretty much like Hikari, almost exactly, but you beat me to it!

Kaijuhunter

You mad?

http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/File:Famous-characters-Tr...

@Critzer: XD I'm sorry about that.
@Magmarce: should Hikari be accepted, would you also like me to provide some more information on her father? Since he's with the Gremlins and such.

Moonlight-Traveler

How do I responce

@Red-Galaxy Accepted, although he won't be the the main group that will be formed in chapter 3 (Sorry about not getting it done yesterday, I had no time to write.)
@Kaijuhunter Accepted, will probably end up as the gunner for the squad.

Kaijuhunter

Derp

A little side note: because she is so analytical, a Hikari is also prone to being insensitive. She also tends to notice little things about people and can usually figure out what their tell is after only an hour or so of interaction with them. Most people find this creepy, another reason they don't really befriend her

Wed, 04/01/2015 - 18:28

You know

I feel like you should do this on spiral spy and make a vid on it like solotron is doing. Worth a shot I suppose.

THIS THREAD IS NOT DEAD, ONLY UNCONSCIOUS.

@Red-Galaxy I would, but I'm terrible with spiralspy. All I really use it for is testing the looks of a cosmetic loadout.
@Everyone Sorry for the delay, I've had a bunch of stuff keeping me from working on this, such as computer crashes and work.

Chapter 3: Roll call

"I take it you've learned you lesson?" Said Sigurd, chuckling.

"How do you know what happened? Were you watching? why didn't you intervene?" Replied Destin.

"No need to be so rash, I was on orders not to. And beleive me, it was hard staying put while watching my rangers be slaughtered like dogs."

"Then what was your order?"

"My orders were to make sure you survived your "Mission". That is all."

Pausing to take everything in, Destin finally responded with "What do you want with me anyways?"

"More like, "What do your commanding officers want with me?" They want you to assemble a squad of elite knights to finish the mission. They sent you down with the provided recon rangers to test it's strength."

"Okay... where would I find these "Elite knights"?"

"During my time serving in the order, I've noticed that the strongest knights are often the outcasts, oddballs, etc. Look for fairly solitary people, or ones that stand out in the crowd. They're your best bet."

Arriving in haven, Destin stepped off the lift, saying "I'll start looking, then."

Figuring he'd be able to find someone skillful at first glance in the training hall, Destin went there first. Inside were your everyday new knights knocking themselves out on the status effect example plates, destroying unending waves of scuttlebots, and throwing fire pots at each other. Aside from that, there was a newly built area of the training hall for knights rank knight elite and up, including holographic enemy spawners, a sparring arena, and tier 3 trap examples. Looking into there, he saw a Female knight in her 20's or so tearing through waves of holographic drouls and mecha knights without breaking a sweat. She felt his eyes on her, and turned around quickly, flashing Destin a sadistic grin. Destin took a step back, before walking up to the knight.

"Uh... excuse me miss. I'm assembling a team of knights for a very important mission, and believe your skills would be of use."

"Do we get to kill things?" The knight responded.

'Well, what we're going against can pretty much spawn an army on a whim, so I'd say so."

"Count me in!"

"Now hold on, we've just met. What's your name anyways?"

"My name's Mai, but I prefer people to call me Critzer, because of how I fight."

"Alright then, my name's Destin, pleasure to meet you." He said as he reached his hand out to shake hers.

"Likewise!" Critzer said, nearly ripping Destin's arm off while shaking it.

"Well, now we need to go find the rest of the squad members."

"And how many is that?"

"Well, we need a guardian, Recon knight, Gunner, Bomber, And maybe a tech knight/medic."

From a distance, Sigurd watched Destin and Critzer leave the training hall, and relayed "He's found his striker already, I believe we'll see promising results.." Arriving in at the bazaar, the duo were looking around for anyone who seemed out of place, until they saw it. Before them was a knight in an ash tail coat, gunner cap, and covered from head to toe in soot. He was in the middle of a scuffle with 3 other knights, who were all wearing skolver equipment, but were all on the losing side of the fight, as the solitary knight was using one of them as a bludgeon against the other two. The 3 skolver knights finally ran off, in which the knight pulled out a flask and took a swig from it.

"Excuse me sir, might I ask what the problem wa-"

"Spose'r ere' to gawk at me dislikin' the mainstream gear, eh!?"

"That is not so. I'm assembling a team of elite knights for very important mission, and thought you might have what it takes to join."

"Well, what'ya need in yer squad?"

"Well, I need a Guardian, Recon knight, Gunner, Bomber-"

"I kin' help. Ah'm the best bloody bomber around."

"And how do we know that?"

"Well, t' roarmulus twins could've jis been rebuilt once ye broke em, but they we'rent. Y'see, a couple months back I'ad been givin' t' mission t' blow up their one'n only facility t' make the bloody things. Also if ye just want me t' show ye me skill, I can."

"No, that's alright. What's your name?"

"Name's Bahman. Tis a pleasure t' meet ye."

"I'm gonna call you Louie!" Said Critzer.

"That works too, lassie."

"2/6, He's found his bomber." Relayed Sigurd.

"Now to go find the rest..."

I have a question...

Is it okay if my char app isn't in the format you proposed? Cuz mine is a recycled app from a seemingly dead RP.

NO QUESTIONS ALLOWED.

Sure thing, just as long as it covers basically the same things as the format used here.

Name: Archimedes

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Race: Knight

Age: 35

Description: Short, shy, and timid. He is a biotech and a bomber, an odd mix.

Equipment:
Helm- Bombastic Demo Helm (Accessories- Com Unit, and Binocular Visor)
Armor- Bombastic Demo Suit (Accessories- Bomb Bandolier containing the following- *Nitronome(It sticks to enemies), Graviton Vortex Bomb, and the *Irontech Destroyer(Time bomb, used for demolition)
Shields- *Grand Tortoise/Grand Tortofist (The shield is combined with the gun)
Swords- *Tempered Calibur/Master Blaster(The sword can transform into the bung, and the gun can turn into the sword), Furious Flamberge
Guns- *Riftlocker (The bayonet is removable and can be replaced with a grenade launcher, a laser pointer thingie, an explosive (Used for suicide missions), and an EMP )
Bombs- In addition to the bombs above- *Dark Retribution (Has a couple more dark orbs orbiting the bomb, therefore on explosion there are more of those thingies), Voltaic Tempest, *Heavy Deconstructor (Basically a land mine)

Bio: He's one of the few Vanguards who survived the initial crash of the Skylark. Archimedes was mind tackled to the ground all enemies he faced. He thought ahead, and since he completed his assignments so quickly, he had spare time. Archimedes decided to set his mind to work determining everything about the new battle sprite's capabilities. He also enjoyed the research of the different organisms of Cradle. That is pretty much it, because laziness.

Misc./Special Abilities: Incredibly smart, can take apart any bomb and put it back together. If I put a * in front of it, it means that Archimedes has modified it. I will go over details in combat. A while back he bribed an official to allow him to have 6 weapons on him at all times excluding the bombs on his bandolier.

Did I keep anything in here from the other RP this was in?
EDIT: I detailed his modified weaponry. I also added one modification to the mix because you said OP things are sort of ok.

Chapter 4: Loose ends

Another boring day, in the bazaar section of Haven. Athena had perched herself up on the roof to the left of Bechamel's shop, much to Bechamel's annoyance. She noticed a short hooded knight arguing with an oversized mecha knight head, but she bid it no mind. There were plenty of more interesting things to watch. One of the perks of being part of the Bazaar security detail, there was always something interesting happening.

"So uh... Ye never said what we're goin' up agains'." Said Bahman.

"I don't care what we're going up against, as long as it's fun!" Replied Critzer.

Destin sighed, knowing that telling them would probably make him lose the both of them.

Walking into the bazaar, the trio stopped in their tracks as a Ghostmane stalker fell of the roof, with a hole going from it's right temple to it's left eye socket.

Destin looked up, Only to be hit in the eye with a .308 Energized projectile round case. "Move it, unless you feel like being next." Said Athena.

"Are you 100% sure about doing that?" Said Critzer, who had managed to climb up the building and position her combuster against Athena's throat in a mere 4 seconds.

"What do you want from me anyways?" Replied Athena, scowling at Critzer.

"It's not exactly what she wants, Milady. We're looking for very experienced knights for-" Said Destin, before being cut off.

"Oh, you guys. Sure, I'd join, if I wasn't bound here by the chief of security."

"We could go talk to him if you want."

"More like kill him, He's slain every member of the detail who leaves their post or talks to him."

"We'll keep that in mind." Replied Destin, frowning.

Before heading off, the trio took a look around the bazaar to see if there was anyone else of interest. Upon doing so, they noticed the short hooded knight, who began moving the head underground. Following the knight, they managed to catch up before they close the passage off.

"Excuse me, what exactly are you doing with that head you've got on that cart?" Said Destin.

The knight turned around, appearing to be an older fellow who had seen his fair share of violence. "Oh, you're interested in my work? This is new. Come on down and see." Replied the knight.

Upon entering the underground chamber, multiple lights activated, revealing a rather large laboratory, with multiple tables covered in blueprints and Various pieces of tech. Further in, they came to a headless, hulking Automaton, with A body design that gave Destin shudders.

"That thing looks exactly like the robot that killed my past squad..." Destin thought.

"I present to you, Lanius: the Mechanical Guardian. A while back, I stole some unfinished blueprints from a gremlin lab that me and some recon rangers were raiding. Turns out, they were designing some sort of Super mecha knight to fight us with. There was some missing part, something about a weapon unique to it, but I added my own touch that's just as unique I suppose."

"You're part of the recon rangers?" Said Destin, pushing the thought out of his head.

"Well, not exactly. I was fired for endangering my fellow rangers with some of the equipment I was designing to aid them on the field. Mark 2 Recon cloaks, Advanced blitz needles, a handheld gun that fires beams used by the roarmulus twins, etc. Particularly the Cloaks. I've been down here trying to make something that could get me my job back ever since."

"Well, we're looking for-"

"I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCED KNIGHTS TO GO FIGHT SOMETHING THAT'S ENDANGERING THE ENTIRE PLANET. I KNOW." I'll join if I can bring along Lanius I'm a professional medic and recon knight, just so you know.

"Sure, we could use the firepower." "We could most definitely use that firepower. Said Destin, whilst thinking.

"But boss! You didn't give me a say in this!" Bellowed Lanius, surprising the quartet.

"I probably should've mentioned. Lanius has an AI installed, so he won't be 100% loyal. Probably 94%.

"That's 96%, Hauss."

"I probably should've mentioned that my name's Hauss. Pleasure to meet you."

Destin turned to Lanius. "Now then, do you feel like accompanying us on our mission?"

"Most definitely, I don't have anything else to do besides rust."

"I rust proofed you."

"Right, right."

"So are we done talkin' yet? We kinda have someone else waiting for us." Bahman butted in.

"I thought we'd be fighting by now! This is getting boring." Critzer chimed in.

"Alright! We're going, sheesh." Said Destin.

The quintet left the lab, In which Sigurd relayed, "Oh great, he's bringing Hauss with him. And... is that the Mecha knight we found? Anyways, 4/6, He now has a Recon knight and Guardian.

"Now to deal with that Chief..."

Quintinius-Vergnix

Application.

Age: 25 years old
Name: Quint
Race: Isoran
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
Equipment: Sacred Falcon Sentinel Helm, Skolver Coat, Leviathan Blade, Valiance, Aegis. Makes occasional use of a Electron Vortex. All equipment is at heat level 7.
Appearance: Cyan personal color, wears a set of Triguard Armor as a costume.
Personality: Nonchalant to most events. His first words upon exiting his escape pod were an apology over being absent in roll call aboard the Skylark prior to its destruction.
Gender: Male.
Bio: Although many knights can claim to have arrived on Cradle via escape pod, few can attest to having partially demolished most of Haven's central fountain and town square in a particularly rough landing. (Headcanon explanation for why the old fountain was replaced, as well as the damaged second arch at Haven's main gate.) Since this somewhat inauspicious entry to Cradle, Quint seems to be a fairly average knight who had explored the Clockworks to grind crowns for upgrading his equipment just like everyone else, and isn't even particularly adept with explosives, although his landing might suggest otherwise.
Average to above average skill/proficiency with swords, guns, and bombs, although not extremely skilled with any single type of weapon. Greatest strength is combining and coordinating tactics from all three weapon types for maximum damage, instead of attacking with just one.
Doesn't quite fit into any of the specific squad roles, unless jack-of-all-trades is one of them.

Room for one more?

Name: Tor

Age: 26

Race: Isoran

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Chaotic Neutral if you ask him)

Gender: Male

Appearance: dark brown eyes, brown hair (noticeably greying), his build is a balance between muscled and slim.

Equipment: Swords: Warmaster Rocket Hammer (his main weapon), Obsidian Edge
Shield: Barbarous Thron Shield
Gun: Grim Repeater
Bomb: Dark Briar Barrage, Obsidian Crusher
Armor: Chaos Cowl, Snarbolax coat
Attitude: Tor is a pessimist, but he'll tell you he's a realist. He's sarcastic and rude, with a dry and morbid sense of humor. He's quite realistic, and is calculating because of it. Theres no right or wrong for him, only what he feels is necessary or things that annoy him. His past experiences with the council have left him cold to other knights, he's prone to attack other knights if he feels he's being insulted or threatened and with his reputation with other knight's, he tends to lash out a lot.

Bio: Tor's life was fairly basic for a knight serving under the council, he was driven, loyal, and optimistic. Above average skills landed him a spot Feron's raid of The Grand Arsenal. He was heavily decorated later for his service, but many people that knew him could tell something was off, but just didn't know what. The truth was, what he found in the arsenal was more devastating then any gremlin made weapon. Dozens of reports of the Spiral Councils purge of gremlins was far more brutal then any knight knew. Any evidence he had found was immediately burned by council, and Tor was told to never speak of it to anyone. It was then that he realized that the world wasn't black and white, it was all a muddled grey. He took a hiatus from active duty and departed for the clockworks. After a month of absence, rumors started to circulate, the most common theory was that Tor had turned his back on the council and that he had become a gremlin sympathizer, but that was hardly the case. He had delved further into the clockworks and discovered himself. After a month of observing and pondering he had come to a decision. Now an ally of no one he sabotages both gremlins and knights alike, he's realized that neither side is better then the other, but both sides are a threat. Now wanted by the Spiral Council for high treason, sabotage, and murder he's been seen around tier 3, and the amount of traps encountered by squads, along with "malfunctioning" elevators attests to it.

Misc: Very proficient with swords, and very agile, boosted when he uses the rocket hammer. Is decidedly average with guns, but that's why he uses a full auto, and is above average with bombs.

He works best alone, but is a master stratigist and enjoys ordering people about.
History: Halls was a happy child, constantly stunning others with his good looks and frequint acts of kindness. Once
the class bullie tryed to prey on him, only to find that the whole population of his street is a force to be reckond with. They planned
on waylaying him in a less public place on monday (3 days from then), but on sunday something tragic happened...
Activate story mode: It was a happy day in Haven, the Snipes were cuddling in the shade of a chortiling foutan to escape the summer heat, and the younger knights were playing some game involing colorful 'Bloons filled with water. Normaly hallsworth would also be playing this sunny-day game but today he had obstained, saying
"Mom I am not a baby anymore... I won't percipitate is such foolishness"
"You won't rain in such foolishness? did you mean participate?" his mother replied
"Yes, mother" halls said roboticly.
His mother then wandered of to find more towels.
Hallsworth reclined on a dry towel, trying to sleep and squander the few remaining hours of weekend he had left. He had just dozed
off when A scream woke him again, his eyes shot open, observing the large, hairy underbellt of the animal standing over him. The animals coat wasn't very soft looking, but instead seemed like someone had dump a can of hairspray on it and then tryed to pet it the wrong way.
"Urrg!" Groaned halls startledly, the animal was dripping freezing saliva on his feet. He then swung his fist at it and compleaty missed
the animal jumped out of the way and then bit his leg. He blacked out.

(Star star star)

"There is nothing else we can do, sir" stated the Medic "He should be right as rain by tommorow."then she walked out the door.
"DddD-ad?, what day is it?" Halls asked uncertainly,
"It's monday son" his father replied in a relieved tone of voice "I am going to take a walk to cool off, stay here" he continued.
A few minutes after his dad left the door swung back open, admitting a wave of heated air and the aforementioned class bullies
"Aww, look at little Halls-worthless." Said one of them,
"hello Venice" Halls replied, trying to shake off the effects of the sleep vial the Medic had poared down his throat.
"Take him out the back way." Venice ordered his two thugs, you would think that with a name like Venice you would have some sense of poetry or finnese, but Venice had neither. Halls tried to kick but all he did was struggle weakly, and he tried to yell but the shoved a vile rag into his mouth.
They half dragged half carried Halls to one of there hideouts outside Haven, it was a treehouse in a large oak.
"How are we going to get him up there?" asked one of the thugs, choosing his words carefully,
"with this." Venice said throwing down a rope.
"Now... ungag him and let's beat him up!" Venice said once they were up in the tree.
"No... wait!" A girls voice cut in "Let's put these in his bite first" she suggested, pulling out a salt shaker and a lemon.
They shared a communal maniacal laugh and then pulled off Halls's shirt.
"Wow Halls" Said the brute "I did'nt know you had any chesthair"
"ya, he looks like a rug" said the other, Halls who was rapidly turning into his beast form, roared, then he lunged for Venice's neck.
his canines sank into the leaders flesh like a knife through butter, halls bit strengthened his grip and then shook his head, breaking Venice's neck and splattering the occupants of the room with blood. They suddenly all ran towards the trapdoor
"This will be fun." Hallsworth thought to himself, cleaning his blood covered paw.
Then he attacked.

3. What do you mean by "that's not what I meant by an enemy application. While he does fit the purpose as a boss character, I was looking more for generic enemies (Such as the wolvers he commands) to throw at the squad."? Does that means you are looking for evil guys to be more of the cloackwork monster ?

@liminori... tanks I fixed it (ONE = was missing!!!!)

Good question... what does he mean??!?
Is it like this:
Name:Ignior (Silverpaw call her Vog)
Description: Ignior was an alpha ashtail that Silverpaw found as a cub and raised. Silverpaw also reinforced her claws and teeth with shadow-steel, the only side affect (Other than awesome and durability and damage.) is that she occasionally goes berserk.
She wears heavy armor of cool. with spikes.

Or this:
Name: Steel Wolvers
Description:The Steel Wolvers are an elite group of wolvers that were selectivly bred and raised by Silverpaw.
He has reinforced all of their Enlarged alpha wolver bodys with volcanic iron. they are led by Ignior and Silverpaw.
Reinforcements are as follows: Razor claws, longer and sharper teeth, strengthened bones, poison tail spikes and light reflective Armour on their torsos(if that is the right word)(reflective means it blocks lasers).
