Old sequel if anyone wants a look.

This fanfic takes place in the Spiral Knights universe, but with some minor changes for consistency. Haven is much, much larger, and features more buildings, oriented in similar fashion to a medieval town. There are pubs, armories, churches, etc. There is also housing for Knights (where else do they go when you log off?) located in East Haven, right of the town square. The Arcade is far larger, and certain areas (Dark City, camps) are predetermined in a gate. Gates are numbered numerically, and feature a mission lobby at Depth 0.
Gear is went in depth somewhere down this thread.
Enemies do not attack on sight until provoked, sometimes avoiding conflict altogether. There are exceptions and also humanoid enemies (bandits, Valkyries, etc) who appear within this story, and for all intents and purposes they are similar to Knights themselves.
The in-game UI (Arsenal, Social Tab, recipes, mailbox, chat) appear as in-built helmet user interface. The minimap and crown display are removed, the minimap appears if a Recon is in the area. This display is toggleable on and off, but the majority of Knights keep it off except in battle.
There is also a civillian subdivision of Knights who work menial jobs. The majority of the populace is military due to their nature, and each knight is expected to be completely self-sustainable. The few non-Knights work mainly in food production and office work, where Devilites are often contracted for their experience.
Dark City is no longer a random level filled with Kats and Devilites, but instead a massive, permanent city comparable to Haven itself.
Music in the world of SK is predominantly chiptune-esque sounding, much like in the game itself. There are traces of so and so normal music we listen to which will spring up from time to time.
There's a definite day/night cycle and seasons.

Please don't submit overtly powerful characters of awesome, but ensure their personality is quality. This is what I will consider the most when implementing characters. Character submissions will likely be side characters the main character meets on his path to vengeance, but exceptional applicants will replace main characters entirely.
Remember to comment, discuss, and enjoy!
Very Nice.
Good Job, I commend you.
I've never really reviewed a story before, but here's a shot.
I loved the story, great plot, use of characters, detailed and variety of descriptions.
I feel the Character's pain, at Daror.
Er.. Don't take these as mean or anything -hands down, your story is better then anything I could write- but, some indescrepancies:
"I could hear its whispers in my head, speaking in a twisted, grating female voice even before I selected it."
♦Is Lucy a "She" or an "It"? It's hard to discern.
♦Lucy whispers, yet "FEED MEE..." is in all Caps, as if to Shout/Scream. Maybe whispers would be in italics, especially since it's a voice in the character's mind? Maybe something like "That one... is insolent... his pompous arrogance will save his soul naught from my edge." I don't know.
[Edit: Removed Suggestions after Explanations]
Er...
Please don't take this the wrong way, I could be terribly wrong, I mean, this is my opinion. : /
