So, here's my another sucky comic- The Minefield. It's going to be somewhat like Happyapathy's Embrace the Dark, but more my style. After ninety hours in development, hopefully it will have been worth the weight.

You can post your characters right now because we're rolecasting! I can getcha custom textures and attachments, but it will cost the final product a few additional hours of delay. Let the action begin!

Don't bother with custom models. It only turns this thread into a ghost town, so let me do it, please. :3

I really like the effects you added and ... and ... and you made him fuzzy! ^.^ Ever settle on a name for him?

You want gremlin or Knight characters?

@Tevokkia

Heh, thanks. As for characters I guess every monster would do, with lesser or greater succesion.

Working on making a new character for you ... figured I'd do the model adjustments myself but they're being ... less than cooperative. XD

@Angelic-Tear

You can post whatever suits you. ^_^ SS model, plain text or a drawing. I accept all.

As for the adorableness- I usually get the most uncanny ideas while listening to These. Simply close your eyes, clamp around something fuzzy and let out a deep sigh while letting a warm breeze gently blow your hair aside. :>

Have a custom model. ^.^

I finished the new model I was making ... so here's a quick picture of Tillamir, and here's the download for the model and retexture files for her attachments and weapon. You'll probably have to redirect the links for the textures and attachments, unless you just put the whole custom folder just inside rsrc>character. Let me know if something doesn't work ... I tested it several times, but you never know.

I'm not 100% on her personality and role, since I'm not sure what you need, so we can talk about it in-game tomorrow if you want. ^.^

Character Suggestion

Eventually in future parts of this story there should be an impostocube
-He helps train the fuzzy gremlin
-Gives wise advice
-Te3aches him a valuable lesson

But you probably have someone thought up for that already lol

It took me forever, but I made it! I wish you all enjoy it. Also, don't be shy to post characters. Even in good ol' text.

EDIT
Show some intrest, people! Seriously. I got only one character application. I can say it one more time You don't have to make custom models and textures yourself. I'll make them for you, sheesh. Have a template.

Name: The Yellow Jacket
Race: Mecha Knight
Gender: shut up
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/DiPtg.png
Weaponary: ^
Additional equipment*: ^
Backstory: Construction Knights are modified Mecha Knights that are meant for, well, construction. This one, dubbed "Designation 538", gained sentience for some reason. It took on the name "The Yellow Jacket" and proceeded to get several symbols etched onto its shell. Some of them are said to be nothing more than the equivalent of tattoos, and others are reputed to have a deeper meaning.
Pesonality: It's a robot. Badass, I guess?
Twist degree(How much can I change your character for the sake of story): whatever

Create a new folder in "mechaknight" named "ctm_yellowjacket". Unzip the files and dump them there. Open it in SS.

This is my first time at file sharing. Tell me if I got something wrong.

The attack animation changes for each weapon, thanks to the wonders of parameters.

@Pladypus

Thanks, Plad. I tried it on and it works alright. Real problem is the update now. it wiped out all my precious retextures. Including Morel's glorious V3 reskin. /cry

EDIT

Phew. I appear to have found a backup .xcf file for it. I thought it was gone for good!

/applaud

Visual distortions in the first three frames of Ch 1 and the changing character expressions were good touches. Interested to see where the comic goes from here.

Isisdelltion

Name: Gironimo

Race: Spiralian

Gender: Male

Appearance: Wears a Rock Jelly Helm and a Heavy Demo Suit. He's a bit taller than others, and some call him, "The Trojan" due to his size and speed.

Weaponary: A Prismatic Brandish (5*) (I'll talk to you about this IG, but I think you have a relative idea of what this is)

Backstory: Never the brightest of the bunch, Gironimo, nicknamed Giron, learned through pure trial and error. One of these things he learned was that if you stay silent, you have a much less chance of saying something stupid. He just went through life, followed orders to the dot, and stayed loyal to his superiors. No one questions his will to fight and die for the Order.

Pesonality: His lack of emotion leaves people a bit creeped out, and his expression is often described as "stone cold".

Twist degree(How much can I change your character for the sake of story): As much as you feel you need to.

Other notes*(Eg. Likes cookies): Likes cookies.

i am so stupid.

i copyed the app, deleted the file, and then saw something else and copyed it. Now i have to fail all over again. Cries. I've forgotten something.

Race:What you did - wolver mixed race of wolver norm and frostie.

Gender: Female. (maybe making her fluffy will show that more)

Appearance: http://imgur.com/a/cVuh2

Weaponry: Claws teeth and tail (maybe eyes if need be, looking sad might work. It worked on the gunner!)

Additional equipment*: Coat. Silk wing dust is imbued into it.

Backstory: I failed at this. When young was kidnapped by knights, got her way out, doesn't trust them any more, etc. etc.

Personality: Timid, joyful playful and happy. Is very kind if you give her a cookie. (she might bite you though)

Twist degree: medium bit. (if you understand that)

I SHOULD KILL MAHSELF

What am I doing? FIRST: Im Italian. Forgive me for any foolish mistake I make.
SECOND: I started using spiral spy YESTERDAY.

Name: Ness (SHUT UP I LOVE EARTHBOUND)

Race: Human. ( I dont think I should call myself a human. Im a, hmm, well... ALMIRIAN! YES! Ima explain later.)

Appearance: http://danzx9blog.blogspot.com.br/

Weaponry: Sentenza, Neutralizer, Polaris, Leviathan B., Acheron. These are weapons I want to use in the game, im stil rank 7.

Additional Equipment: Ironmight Plate Shield,Arcane Salamander Suit,Heavenly Iron Helm

Backstory: THAT'S WHY I SHOULD KILL MYSELF. Im a random survivor of the Almirian War, beetwen Vanaduke and every person in this world. There were 14 survivors. 9 were gremlins (CRIMSON ORDER), 3 were humans (Meh,Vanaduke and Vladain(explain later)) and 2 were Strangers, Basil and Plinklop, he knows how the Clockworks were created. The 14 survivors were now immortal, and after being killed, they will respawn. (This explains too much bout Vana).
I survived,and I want to kill the other 9 gremlins and Vanaduke, to be the ULTIMATE LIFE FORM. (If you played Sonic Adventures 2,congratulations!^^)

Personality: My backstory explains a lot of me. I want to kill EVERYONE in my way, I only trust the other 2 strangers.

Twist degree: DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. I spent 4 hours creating the backstoy and the character. (I dont know how to use Spiral Spy)

Other notes:
-Im Italian.
-Vladain created the ORBS OF ALCHEMY.
-Immortal PPL dont need SOL, so I made an IMMORTAL CHARACTER.
-Plinklop dont like talknig abut the clockworks and the swarm. He dont say anything bout the swarm, and say almost NOTHING INTERESTING about the Clockworks.
-The 9 gremlins survived the war, and they often call it "Coal Survival Games".
-The three competing kingdoms of Citadel were Almire, Crisopolis and Urmaran.
-Urmaran had TROJANS
-Crisopolis had Gremlins
-Almire had ppl.
-Everything you can read is the THEORY OF CRADLE, a theory I made. Dont take it seriosly.I mean, SEERUSly.

AMIONIT?ITSSOEPICPLZINEEDTOBEONEOFTHEPROTAGONISTSORANTAGONISTSIDONTCAREJUSTPLZUSEMYCHARACTER!

I repeat, im Italian, forgive me for any foolish mistake I make.
