Sorry that I haven't been Online to give you the Crowns; have had a lot of busy stuff happen these past few days. Will try to get on more often(Central Time).

Hey! The comic is looking really amazing! I'm interested in an appearance so I suppose you pop me a mail?

Mr. Blue 大丈夫です

Sorry, just couldn't help it.

1) IGN: Quintinius-Vergnix, and yes, I am a Vanguard. I remember we did KoA runs together when I was still in Resistance. Fun times...

2) A) I thought it would be really fun to be a part of your artwork. B) The idea of in-game actions influencing another piece of media (ala Defiance) was always an interesting concept to me.

3) I'm usually online every day or at least every other day.

4) Current (1-star and 0-star stuff is where the characters in the comic seem to start):
-Static Edge
-Pummel Gun
-Toasty Pith Helm+Toasty Com Unit and Toasty Helm-Mounted Display
-Toasty Brigandine
-Iron Buckler (Custom crest: A cog with a pair of Proto-Shield-esque bars in the center)
Knight Color: Cyan

Endgame (The gear I hope I'll eventually end up with):
-Voltedge
-Blitz Needle
-Sacred Firefly Sentinel Helm (Custom color scheme: Ultramarine with brass trim+matching Knight Vision Goggles and Com Unit)
-Wolver Coat (Custom color scheme: Ultramarine with brass trim)
-Aegis (Custom crest: Cog with the symbol of the Spiral Order at the center. This particular crest is the crest of the Explorator Mechanicus, which I will get to in a bit.).
Knight Color: Cyan

5) An apprentice of the Explorator Mechanicus (a branch of the Spiral Order dedicated to finding alien technologies/artifacts and performing first recon of alien planets or starships deemed worthy of interest), (INSERTNAMEHERE*) was aboard the Skylark when it was shot down over Cradle. After regrouping with surviving Explorators at Haven, (INSERTNAMEHERE*)....wait, we haven't even gotten that far yet.
Personality traits: Fascinated by technology (both Spiral and alien) and a bit reckless. Has a dry and somewhat laconic sense of humor.
(Potential story arcs: Attempts to find a valuable artifact or piece of technology, which if successful will result in a promotion to Explorator Adept. Whether he succeeds or not is probably a toss up between your decision or my actions in game.)

By the way, if you feel like parts of the bio won't fit, you can change it then mail me the changes. The core idea is basically just a Knight who likes finding new technologies and worlds within the Clockworks and maybe messing around with them a bit. Sometimes with unintended and/or hilarious results. The "package" this Knight comes in doesn't matter much.

*Psst, would it be possible if my name was Rook-Barkwater? You see, I already made the alt for this knight and all of my alt slots are full. Just Rook would be fine too. Also, if no, I can create a new account, then name an alt according to your (and the rest of the Pocket Knights) choice, then join the Pocket Knights guild. I'm open to options. (If this is yes, then disregard the "current equipment" section entirely.)

EDIT: It appears that the Pocket Knight naming scheme is (adjective)-(color)-Knight. In that case, disregard my request entirely. I'll just follow the instructions you give me after I meet you guys.

i want a cameo in haven introduced as the god of the arena (colliseum).

can that work?

Eating jelly I understand but eating a piece of wood? It's on fire so does Red think it's some beast being cooked?

As much as I really love these comics (which I absolutely do), don't feel like you need to push yourself too hard. Quality over quantity is perfectly fine by me.

Because there are a few that are interested, we still have 6 spots opened for official Pocket Knight members. To those who may be interested in the part, answer the small questionnaire below in the comment section. I'll read it over and together with the other Pocket Knights we'll determine if you're a good fit. If that happens, you'll then be invited for an interview hosted by Little-Red-Knight and a few other Pocket Knights. (I'll contact you in game via mail also, ... some of the knights may appear rude... or... down right disrespectful, xD I apologize in advance...they're just.... too much in character.) Oh, also, I do want to tell you ahead of times, "Don't go making up a new character on the spot, there are certain rules to follow when doing so! Especially with the naming!!!!" Again if you are interested and are accepted, I'll give you more details on naming and such! ;D

1) What is your MAIN Knight's in game name? And, are you a Vanguard? [I ask this because vanguards have the know how on how to make a new knight into 5* as fast as possible, they may even have spare items laying around that can help them in the process.]

My main knight is named Xacre, or the Musical Merchant if you want to be more precise. I have plenty items laying around (unbound) ready for use right now for me and maybe some other peeps should they need the helping hand.

2) What makes you interested in joining the Pocket Knights crew, other than the comic itself?

I've always wanted to be part of a more, themed roleplay almost style guild with a cool theme. And seeing the way this is going it's really giving me that vibe, which makes me both excited and happy.

3) How active are you? And how active will you be if you're part of this project? [The reason why I ask this is because, you'll be raising a new Knight from the bottom up. So it requires a lot of work, time, and effort. We will also be having group meetings from time to time to determine the future of the comic. Just having someone show up for a few minutes or giving up up half way and not showing up at all, is not "ok" in my book, I want someone who literally will dedicate them self into this project.]

I'm on everyday essentially, and I have no issue putting in the time for a new knight, I kind of want to make a new knight that can go through all the missions again. Nostalgia and all that. :)

4) What will your Knight be using gear wise? What will their weapons be? Do they wear certain costume/accessory pieces? Armor? Shield? Pet? [What are your plans for the knight pretty much!]

Gear wise? I tend to lean towards sword slinger, but I really want to make a gun-slinger character! Never had the push to do it, but this really makes me wanna do it!

the plan-
Go with ninja gunner armor ( Firefly Shade set, I have all the recipe already and unbound)
guns-
I want to use the blaster line and use them aggressively with an acheron as my personal defense weapon.

Costume? I'm a merchant :3 Don't really have any preferences other than glasses. But looking at the set, I'd go with the armor+a BKC (if I'm allowed) otherwise it'd be the vanilla armor plus a few accessories.

Shield- Swiftstrike for main usage, but a drake scale for leveling (it looks cool ok...don't judge)

Pet- Black seraphynx (already have one in my possession) or a maskeraith.

5) Last but not least, Write a short character bio of your knight. (Do keep in mind your knight has not been given a name so don't think too much about that). [This will give me an insight on how well you've thought about creating the new member. Since each knight that is involved will be in the comic.]

Abandoned by his squad he feels the innate need to defend and protect those he cares about, even tho he is a gunner and lacks the armor he will throw himself into danger in even the most vain attempts to save their lives. In doing so he has learned to pride speed, not power, in his tactics. Running around speedily and firing shots that push the enemies away from his team.
He has a strict code of honour, he may not say too much to those he has just met. But once you get to know him he won't shut-up about what guns he likes or how much he finds his pet adorable. Bit of a shut-in chatter box really. This is due to the last time his care-free attitude got the best of him, his entire team fell to a trap, resulting in his distrust of brash knights without caution and his berrating attitude to those who do not show regard for their fellow knights. This will not stop him from defending them, but it will not make him like them.

Quiet, protective, and swift _____ will defend you and your honour to the death while commenting on his adorable pet.

You know what? Why not. Let's try this application thingie. Worse comes to worse, nothing happens.

1) What is your MAIN Knight's in game name? And, are you a Vanguard?
My main knight is Anakletos and he's older than rank missions. So yes, he is a Vanguard.

2) What makes you interested in joining the Pocket Knights crew, other than the comic itself?
The world needs more bombers. I've always wanted to try bombing from the ground up. Also, I wouldn't mind an opportunity/reason to see the earlier stages of the game again. Like I said earlier, my main knight is older than rank missions themselves, so I haven't actually seen all the new things for starter players.

Also, my current guild has died, and most of my friends are inactive... Things have been lonely...

3) How active are you? And how active will you be if you're part of this project?
Lately I've been logging on at least once a day. In addition, I'm only taking a few classes this quarter (one of which is online), so I have plenty of free time.

4) What will your Knight be using gear wise? What will their weapons be? Do they wear certain costume/accessory pieces? Armor? Shield? Pet?
As I hinted at earlier, bomber. I was planning Mad Bomber helm with a Volcanic Demo suit. Bomb wise, I haven't fully decided. The simplest answer is ALL THE EXPLOSIONS. More specifically, Dark Briar Barrage, Graviton/Electron Vortex, status bomb (Shivermist most likely), Dark Retribution, maybe a shard bomb, and a Shovel. Costume wise, Mad Bomber with a Dusker coat. Ideally a bomb bandolier and round shades too.

5) Last but not least, Write a short character bio of your knight. (Do keep in mind your knight has not been given a name so don't think too much about that).
Methodical, patient, but at the same time lacking in common sense (If you're familiar with D&D, think high Int with low Wis). Leave him alone with a deck of cards and he'll make a castle out of it. If you ask why he didn't use the wooden planks he's sitting on, he'll make his card castle even bigger, just to spite you. He's a man of few words, but at the same time very emotive. Often unable to speak his thoughts, he's more likely to communicate with a flailing motion or with an angry glare.

He is a proud man. Every explosion is a work of art, and he is a virtuoso of demolition. Compliments make him puff out his chest and glow with pride. However a casual throwaway complaint can nearly bring him to tears. At worst, he'll thump you over the head with a shovel for daring to insult his craft.

1) What is your MAIN Knight's in game name? And, are you a Vanguard?
My main knights name is Fifth-Medic and the rank is indeed that of a vanguard.

2) What makes you interested in joining the Pocket Knights crew, other than the comic itself?
With every bit in haven explored, every stage conquered and every boss beaten there isnt much left to do on Cradle. When I stumbled across the idea of the Pocket Knights I immediatly fell in love with it, because it is something that would give my SK life purpose again and maybe it will draw a new fanbase to the game so it hopefully doesnt die. Also I would like to approach a different, more supportive playstyle unlike my old sword whackin' style

3) How active are you? And how active will you be if you're part of this project?
Around now im not that active as i could be. This is mostly due to the fact, that i dont have anything to do right now. If I would be accepted I'll dedicate more of my free time into sk and be online for longer every day as long as I dont have to work. I'm sitting in the EU, so my online times while probably vary from those of other members, but it is always possible to reach me even during work thanks to the steam mobile app. (but please give me some time to sleep :P)

4) What will your Knight be using gear wise? What will their weapons be? Do they wear certain costume/accessory pieces? Armor? Shield? Pet?
What I'll always caryy around will be a cautery sword. This will be used if anyone needs immediate medical treatment while adventuring in the clockworks. As for other weapons there will be a wide variety of knockback and movement impairing gear which will help me get enemies away from wounded knights, so I can stitch them up again (i.e. Levi because of the great knockback, Stagger storm and Shivermist buster). For shields I'll use a heater shield, so I can provide some heat during frozen stages and also some warm treats for other party members. As an armor I would use the Azure Guardian set with a cobalt crest or azure guardian crest. For situations where i need a lot of tools I would use a vitasuit deluxe. Of course the pet is going to be a Seraphynx due to the heart drops and invincibility shield.

5) Last but not least, Write a short character bio of your knight. (Do keep in mind your knight has not been given a name so don't think too much about that).
He was born as the oldest son of 2 Knights. He was the one who took care of his 3 brothers and sisters when his parents where away on missions, helping his siblings when they got sick, caring for the bruises they got while playing or just being there for them, when they needed him. Because of that he went to join the medical corps of the knights as soon as his parents had more time for his brothers and sisters, leaving home aboard the Skylark. Now stranded on Cradle and having found new friends, he cares for them and treats them like he did for his smaller siblings, even if he isnt the oldest one. Although he doesnt stop his friends from doing dangerous actions, he'll be always there for them, even throwing the rules of the spiral order and his own life overboard to make sure they make it through every danger alive. You could say he is doing those things because he misses his family and is searching for something to fill the emptyness in his heart. At clear nights he prefers to stand outside and wonders which of those stars home is.

Shuichi isn't online yet, she'll get to you in-game once she's gone over the application you've presented.

Hiho, i've been following your comic and am interested in one of the spots for the Pocket Knights. (If there are still open ones.)

1)
Hennils is the name and my rank is indeed Vanguard.

2)
For most of my playtime i went with the weapons i considered most effective or most useful and although i crafted some weapons just because they might be fun I've been falling back on the first mentioned ones. Creating and playing a knight focusing more on role-play choices will be refreshing and fun. Also with content updates kind of missing, starting up a new knight has been an idea for a while now.

3)
I'm currently playing SK on average for less than half an hour per day, since more time is spent in other games. Lowering the time on those in order to play SK and rise up with a new knight will be done gladly.

4)
I want to hit a fighting style using heavy or status guns in advance to weaken the enemy and then follow up with agile melee attacks if necessary. (Examples: Magnus/Alchemer + Arc Razor/Flourish). For costume choices they prefer it a bit more plain; nothing that stands out too much, everything should blend in well. Preferably grey with a second tone for some accent. (Examples: Drake Scale/Angelic).

5)
Motivation: The scenery of Cradle fascinates this knight. As different as some things are on this planet a good sight can still be beautiful. A break now and then for a view at the ever-changing Clockwork of course doesn't hinder them from working as a trusty knight under the Spiral Order.
Fighting: During fights this knight wants to think logical, not to endanger their teammates, not to make a mistake that could turn the fight against them. If going on a Mission alone they try to avoid fights and only defeat what is necessary for the Mission. (SK is grindy so this will have to change.)
Character: Generally quite calm with a mix of being catious and lazy when it comes to making decisions. While they will stick to what they consider necessary and act very politely in a conversation with larger amounts of people, they are definitely good for a talk in a smaller group.

So much for now, i hope this fits in well with the world of Spiral and Pocket Knights. Have a good day!

Edit: Some rewording

Shuichi, I just adore your art style <3
I'd love to participate in the project of yours, but I simply do not have the internet connection (and the online freedom; DAMN THIS DATA LIMIT) to do so.
Hope this becomes very successful.

Never trust a Rhodon O.o

Seriously, when he did that, I totally expected that he would suddenly disappear with the gremlin and prove to be a traitor - but as history proves, he is just dumb.

1) What is your MAIN Knight's in game name? And, are you a Vanguard?[I ask this because vanguards have the know how on how to make a new knight into 5* as fast as possible, they may even have spare items laying around that can help them in the process.]

It's Kamilchan~! And yup, I am a Vanguard.

2) What makes you interested in joining the Pocket Knights crew, other than the comic itself?

After days and days of playing Spiral Knights have come and gone, so have friends and guilds, so I'm mostly playing by myself or I randomly drop in on someone elses team or I'm invited on a guild run. Starting anew sounds like an interesting and fun challenge, and maybe I'll pick up some new techniques that I've never even hear of along the way, or even test out new gear that I didn't want to try out originally when I first started playing SK in 2011.

3) How active are you? And how active will you be if you're part of this project? [The reason why I ask this is because, you'll be raising a new Knight from the bottom up. So it requires a lot of work, time, and effort. We will also be having group meetings from time to time to determine the future of the comic. Just having someone show up for a few minutes or giving up up half way and not showing up at all, is not "ok" in my book, I want someone who literally will dedicate them self into this project.]

I'm mostly active on the weekends, Saturdays I'm usually on between 2 PM MST to 1 AM MST (Sunday morning), and Sundays it's from 1 PM to 9:45 PM MST.

During the week (Monday through Friday) can occasionally be found online, sometime around 8 PM MST to 9:45 PM MST.

If you ever see me online go ahead and ping me a message if you need to discuss something with me or bring me up to speed. Or, if it will help, you can ask for my Skype in-game. If I'm not online about 90% of the time I'll be on Skype. The other 10% is me working or sleeping.

4) What will your Knight be using gear wise? What will their weapons be? Do they wear certain costume/accessory pieces? Armor? Shield? Pet? [What are your plans for the knight pretty much!]

Striker, definitely striker gear.

Armor wise, the set they'd wear would be a Skolver Cap with a Vog Cub Coat and a Dragon Scale Shield or The Bitter End, they'd swap the shields out now and then, depending on the scenario.

As for weapons, they'd either have a Barbarous Thorn Blade or a Voldedge for their sword, and for their gun they'd have a Gilded Griffin or a Plague Needle.

For a costume, they'd wear a Dangerous Oni Helm, accompanied by a Dangerous Brigandine and a Recon Ranger Crest (can you tell what my favorite NPC group is yet lol).

For the pet, a cute little tabby Seraphynx! They're my favorite pet out of all of the three, and as a striker, it's protective and restorative abilities make up for the quick footing and snappiness when taking down enemies.

5) Last but not least, Write a short character bio of your knight. (Do keep in mind your knight has not been given a name so don't think too much about that). [This will give me an insight on how well you've thought about creating the new member. Since each knight that is involved will be in the comic.]
A new world does not settle well with this knight, it puts them on edge and quite frankly, the faster they get through a mission the better, but this sometimes leads them into running into a spot of trouble or even a trap, in which their teammates have to go save them. They feel safest in the guild hall and around close friends. To them, the Clockworks feels...wrong... every time they enter they feel like someone is watching them. They once described the Clockworks as "someone with horrible quilting experience created this patched world just for the Spiral Order". They don't mind the random knight approaching them for small talk but if they start to think that the other is becoming a little too invasive they'll quickly excuse themselves and move away. Around said close friends, they're a bit more open and friendly, sharing what's on their mind. They love puzzles, and if it weren't for a daily mission quota to fulfill, they'd be playing with puzzles all day long.

When it boils down to fighting, they try to keep their cool. Panicking won't do them any good, so it's best to clear a room quickly and move on. With an injured teammate on board, they will rush back and escort the teammate to safety, scolding and defending them all the while. As stated earlier, they tend to move quickly through rooms, and spring traps or get cornered by enemies. But they won't give up, they don't want to die on this alien world, not after barely surviving a war. The only thing that has managed to snap their cool so far are the Grimalkins, Black Kats, and the Apocrea. They run faster and make more rash decisions than they normally would.

Their least favorite holiday is the Dark-Harvest Festival, while their favorite holiday is Winterfest.

So the current newest Panel Shows People in front of the AH who paid the 10k fee, doesn't it?

But here a question: are costumes allowed or will you draw only craftable epquipment inside the Comic?

@Matik
IKR it was that same with me, I found Little-Red-Knight in game and had a lovely conversation with her at the end of which she did a little 'whoops' emote and told me to come back in 10 years when I'm a vanguard. And by the looks of it all the positions are filled anyway. So now to blow all of my non existent crowns on Cameos to fill the void in my heart. *shuffles back to his fanfic*

That wasn't at all what we were talking about, we were referring to the stringent entry prerequisites as opposed to the second level of perfectionism to get in.
