One day the spiral knight Spadger ran out of booze inside his drop pod and pulled the escape hatch handle. That day came to be known as the Monday of Pain as Spadger flung into a berserker rage at the sight of the first jelly cube and begun on his epic (In the original sense of the word, kids) quest to riddle everything he found with bullet holes.

My Knight crash landed on the Planet with no memories prior to that. Luckily, the escape pod came with a sword and shield, and some signs outside the pod taught him how to use them (what are the odds?). After wandering around for 3 minutes he find a rescue camp. There he learns about a big ship that crashed and the planet is actually a giant pocket watch.

He's told he has to go to Haven, but the only way there is this dangerous path full of monsters. After an hour without being able to find another exit, he decides to go to Haven and see if he can get a bus ticket for something home. On the way there he got attacked by said monsters. Normally he tries to be kind to animals, but they were just being rude and had to be killed.

Once he gets to Haven, hes met by this strange man that sounds like an old slide show projector. Couldn't understand a word he said. After wandering around town a bit, he talks to another Spiral Knight in the Arcade. There he is told he has to go down an elevator, fight some monsters to retrieve minerals, so they can open up another elevator so they can go down and retrieve more minerals (how depressing is that). When he asked where the bus terminal was, the other knight just went back to looking at a computer screen.

The place was full of knights, and no one knew were the damn bus terminal was. After awhile he gave and up went to see this elevator everyone was talking so much about. Turns out its a pay elevator. Its gotta be something cool if you have to pay right? Wrong. Just monsters trying to kill you everywhere.

Ok, so maybe this Core thing has something useful. So he fights his way down, grabbing new gear as he goes, and when he gets to the core, you know what he finds? Another camp! Worse yet, the LT down there had the nerve to tell him he has to go back up, and keep trying to get more minerals because some gremlins, an industrious, inventive race of engineers couldn't run a damn extension cord from the surface.

So now he gather minerals, waiting for someone to invent a bus or plane or anything so he can go home, take a nap and call his Therapist.

Has anyone ever considered Vanaduke to be this really cool guy that throws bitchin parties? But then this gang of hoodlums show up at his house, destroys his lawn gnomes, kills his party guests, puts out all his fiery party decorations, breaks all his stuff, steals his money, and then gives him a beat down for just being there.

I fell from the sky in an escape pod and landed in the exact same spot as every other spiral knight with a floating name above their head, yet there was no trace of anyone else ever being there.

Man My Old One Was Quite Cheesy. Milesprower wasn't actually part of the first knights who landed on cradle. after the first knights were sent and no one knew where they were they sent him to go investigate the course they took.coincedentally Milesprower ran out of fuel right over cradle and crash landed. he landed on cradle and put his gear on which sadly was only the starter gear so he didnt have any of his gunslinger with him. Milesprower set off to haven and when he got there was greeted kindly he first challenged snorbolax and won and got intereste din the mystery of alpha squad. after that he set off towards jelly king who he lost to the first time just barely making it out of there. armor and helm pieces were broken off of his gear his firotech alchemer out of ammo (the recharger was broken) he made a narrow escape by using his haven teleporter(i think that the spiral kights have a small pocket teleporter that teleports them back to haven if need be) and rested down for a while. he lost to jelly 2 more times. than finally he conquered jelly king and collected the next module. than when the roarmulus twins were revealed he set into the clockworks the first 3 times he lost and got out of there with a lot of cuts and bruises. the fourth time he conquered them and collected the next module. than he went off to face the ultimate challenge. lord vanaduke. the first time he had gotten sliced a lot by vanadukes sword but luckily his armor protected him from most actual damage. the second time he challenged vanaduke again and with the help of jempire(the guild im in) was victorious! he colelcted the next module and went on his way. Milesprower is now re-crafting the gunslinger set and awaiting the next boss so he can solve more of the mystery of alpha squad.

Mine was working merrily banging nails on a pirate ship when something happened and everything went black. Next thing he knew, he was wearing some seriously funky gear and climbing out of a busted escape pod...

(ex-YPP character, obviously. =P )

Even as a small boy Tuhui always dreamed to go out and see the world but as he grew up he started to realize that he wanted more than the modern world could give him. He'd look at the buildings and the streets and would get sad at the thought of how unnatural the world had become. Then a new hope came one night looking up at the stars, there had to be more worlds out there, there just has to be. So he looked for ways he could get out there, but there were few and even fewer he could do. He was worried that his dream would stop before it started. Nothing seemed right for him. Before he knew it he only had one option left, the Spiral Knights Academy.

He did his best, he learned how to use a sword and how to shoot a gun but his heart seemed to not be in it, it just seemed like he was making no progress. 1 year passed, in his mind he was a sub-par knight, the training seemed to blend together and none of it seemed ot stick, but unknow to him he was ranked in the top 10% of his class. When he learned he graduated and was gonna become an official knight. At first he thought is was a mistake and asked for a confermation, he wasn't just joining he learned that he was going to join the Skylark and be sent out imediatly. He was so happy he nearly wept, he was finaly gonna go out and see another world. He said his goodbyes and soon enough he was on his way to the planet named "Cradle".

He honed his skills on the way to Cradle and he finaly was finally seeing the progress he had made, but he was well aware of how much better the veterains were compaired to him. He swore that he would become one of the best knight so he could help this expetion to the best of his abilities. Before he know it there was jus tone day till landing. He went to sleep wondering waht this place would look like. He wakes up abruptly but is still too tired to grasp waht is going on. There is a siren going off people russing around and running out of sight. Then it hits him something is wrong. He hears a voice through the madness "... to the escape pods. I repeat. The ship is going to crash, go to the escape pods". He rushes to put on and grab his eguipment. The passages of the ship is filled with a mob of knight running to the escape pods. He follows the stream of people and finds his own escape pod and leaves the ship. He can see the Skaylark through the window. This oncebeutifull ship is now on fire with smoke in it's trail. He says goodbye to the ship and thanks it for the for getting him to Cradle and then waits for the trip to be truly over.

He doesn't know when he fell asleep but when he wakes up he can see a tree. He oppens the hatch and gets the first look at the new world around him and smiles, it's just what he wanted. He notices the flares leading down a path and follows it. He ends up at the rescue camp. He looks for a high ranking knight to ask what to do but before he finds one a friend from the shipspots him and runs up to him. "We finaly made it how do you feel?" he says. "I've been better but i feel happy. So what do we do from here?" Tuhui says. "We landed close enough to the town we will stay at that we've been told to go there and wait for further instructions." he says. "Well then let's go" Tuhui says.

There is a crowd of people in the town square when they arive. They end up waiting 2 hours before the knight-commander comes out."Most of you are here already so i will start telling you what we will do from here on out. Though the crashing of the Skylark is unexpected and an inconvience our primary goal for this trip has not change. We will explore this planet, but we have already recevied word that there are unknown dangers below us. we have also receved word that the planet seems to be "alive" and it seems to constantly change, and we believe it hassomething to do with the core of the planet. the core of this planet seems to react to minerals found in the "Clockworks". We decided to call it such because this world seems to be run like a clock, gears turning and every so often it it changes it's self. So you missoion for now will be collect the minerals you find the the Clockworks and bring them up to be studied by our researchers. Though you suits can resist the presure of the core it needs energy. Fourtunatly there is an abundant supply of energy in the atmosphere of this planet. We do not want you to push yourselfs so you are only alowed to go down into clockworks through the elevators we have built for 2 hour periods. Remember that we have a duty to perform but your health comes first and since we are on our own for awile try not to get that hurt. Most of the data i have told you came from the Alfa Squad but we have not heard from them for quite awile now. They are our best so remember that if they have disapeared it could easily happen to you. The Clockworks is definatly a place of danger s obe always prepaired and always have your weapons at the ready. Prefom to the best of your abilitys and serve the order well dismissed."

6 months later... He is relaxing in the grass looking totaly different. You can tell that he has been working hard and has improved greatly. He is looking at the sky but not in the same way he used to, you get the feeling that he has been living his dream every second while here. He gets up and walks through town saying hi to people and walking the road that he has passed many times. He makes his way to the elevators "Going down" he says to the knight on duty. "Yes sir" responds the knight. and you see him disappears into the Clockworks.
