I observed the Escape Pod in detail.
Small, Tight, gets the job done- It has a single seat and the rest is supplies to keep you alive.
Almost as if There's no way two people could fit. . .
*Squish*
"Stop touching my boob already, Leeroy! or. . . Wait, you're unconcious. That makes it twice as bad!"

Aw, you didn't have to change your post! I was just being nit-picky about it ^^"

Ummm... Wait! So the mess team got to the pods safely, serah died????, Den has not launch yet, and Ozlo is nowhere to be seen? I kinda don't get it so my post today mike be off to the weird side even more.

Name: Jeptha Volta
General Description: Medium Build on a taller frame. He has little combat experience, but has trained in the simulators to hone what skills he has to a sharp proficiency. He constantly looks out for anything out of the ordinary and is hard to surprise in general. He is a bit of a scavenger, picking up better gear as he goes in hope that it will help his chances of survival.
Equipment:
-Old zapper prone to malfunction
-Bolted blade obtained in the chaos of the Skylark evacuation. Has little wear and is surprisingly well balanced.
-Short dagger for emergencies carried on belt
-Spiral Round helm with mecha wings and bolted vee
-Spiral Brigandine (those pockets will be helpful)
-Standard issue Proto Shield
-Standard issue HUD and com unit in helm.
-All cosmetic items are in 'Military colors' http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Military except for his parrying blade.
Relevant background:
As a recruit, Jeptha was sent out into combat only once. This situation has had a lasting impression on him, as his commander died to Morai assassins right as he was telling Jeptha not to fight. Jeptha held out against these skilled warriors for a few minutes using guerilla tactics until backup came and the two assassins were killed with blaster and zapper fire. Because of this, Jeptha will not generally follow orders right away, as his commander may have lost only a quarter of his platoon if he had let the recruits fight instead of three quarters.

That's what I figured, hence why I said that her efforts could be in vain if you wanted it to be, or end up in some ambiguity like a coma. Either result, Aralon's attempt at rescuing Serah is mostly just to put a little practice into what she preaches.

...Like Kora?

Yeah sorry about that.

An entirely useless post I created there, not the thread. Achieved nothing in any possible way other then filler.

Boy, I am a grade A human being aren't I, wasting everyone's time with useless talk on the internet.

I am just going to shut up and stop bothering you all to save what's left of any first impressions.

I wish I could draw people in a more interesting fashion.
For example, 7th dragon 2020-II's art style is unique because all the characters are posed dynamically.
All I've ever drawn is people standing straight up with their hands holding a sword over their shoulder or something.

ugh my art needs improving so much

Inactivityishness; Summer school

@Thin: Is the Skylark beginning to break apart yet? If not, I can edit my post.

As for the "private ships" I mentioned, they are generally not going to be strong enough to clear even a small planet's gravity; the Isorans are still stuck on Cradle.

A couple players left? Who exactly?

Application:
Name: Stenev Ironimil
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Personal color: Green
Gear:
-Fiery proto-gun
-Cautery sword
-Toasty flak jacket
-Toasty sallet(Toasty bolted V) (Toasty com unit)
-Proto-shield
Bio: Stenev Ironimil was a loud child, constantly pulling pranks on his 62 fellow class mates at the spiral academy on Yillomic, Yillomic was the moon of a large gas planet called Moorsume. During most of the Morai wars, Moorsume and it's tiny satellite where ignored by the militarys of both sides. until the release of the renowned ferrous felines, who were famous for killing either silently or with the war cry of "FOR YILLOMIK!!!"
But the war cry may have been slightly too revealing, because after a handful of major victorys for the Cats the Morai completly destroyed the planet and all structures opon it, only to find that all residents had left for Isora only hours before.
When the skylark departed, many of the ferrous felines stayed to buy it passage, defending with their last breaths. five came with the ship, four of whom died manning the turrets, now only one remains: Stenev ironimil
Start of his story I shivered, rolling my shoulders to free any loose ice crystals. It was strangely loud in the Cryo-chamber but not a single knights voice could be heard " who has ever heard of dreaming during Cryo-sleep?" I said aloud, pinching myself.
I started to put on my gear, slipping my helmet down over my ears. Immediately I heard the chatter of voices through my com-unit
"WARNING. ENTERING ATMOSPHERE."
Perfect, I wake up late at the only time when it would matter... I buckled my last strap and reported into my mouth-piece
"Knight 2567 Stenev is now awake, awaiting orders." and I was, for the first time, graced with the voice of Captain Ozlo in my earpiece
"Ohh, good, wait what am I saying? not good at all but it will serve my purpose. Knight Stenev... I have a job for you."
"Yes si-"
"Don't interrupt. we have no time for formalities, the Skylark was fired upon by an unknown entity and is crash-landing on an uncharted planet. my job for you is to keep the engine core from exploding, if it does the whole planet will be kaput and the Morai will have won because of a single. simple miscalculation. GO"
(I will move this to the game-play section.)

I really like how dramatic you made the whole thing, but I think if you had established some sort of character that the players could have known would man the guns, or perhaps emphasized that knights were sacrificing their lives to save those that had managed to flee, it would have had a better effect.

I liked it overall, it made the descent a lot more interesting, though I feel like this should have some gameplay effects.

Hay been a while, Thin when you get a chance can you comeon steam. I would like to have a word with ya.

If you wish to cont. or conversation from the other night, that would be fine Thin.

You were right... it was really bad...
Nice new chapter...
:P
