Well, even though The Archipelago isn't dead, and I'm still making chapters, I want to make a new fan fic. You'll learn most of all the backstory in chapter one, so I'll just say the height, personal color, and eyes of the main char. Oh yeah, and a name.
Name: Dussnar
Height: Normal
Personal Color: Vermillion (which is the dark orange if you didn't know)
Eyes: Shifty (The squinted shady looking eyes)
Well, here comes the first chapter.....
[September 23, 2346]
Tonight is the night. I will raid a storage warehouse, then escape to Moorcroft Manor. I've already taken a Recon Cloak device which I will use to enter the storage area unnoticed.
I sneak past a sleeping knight in Boosted Plate armor that is waiting by the gate. I hit him in his pressure points and he slumps over, unconcious. Just to be safe. I see another Knight, this one awake. he's right outside the warehouse I have to enter to "liberate" some equipment. I'll have to get him too. I sneak in behind him, wait until the cloak nullifies his defenses, the I kick him in the back of the head. He goes limp and falls to the floor. I open the door with the guard's key.
I uncloak and turn on a flashlight. I see the crate that holds Supply Packs. I take several, as well as a Dusky Canteen. I grab a Vitakit as well.
Then I wander over to an equipment crate. Inside there is a set of Sinister Skelly armor, along with a Heater Shield and a Heavy Plate Shield. I take both. A nearby box holds a few handguns. I take a Callahan and a Cryo Driver. I also find a dusty old Cold Iron Vanquisher and a case full of various swords, including a Daring Rigadoon, which I take.
I have the equipment. Now it was time to make my way to the Arcade, and then to Moorcroft. The guard that was right at the door woke up, and he's running at me a yelling. He seems to have figured out what happened. But this time I'm armed. It give him a few swift stabs from the Rigadoon, and he falls to the ground. This time he won't get back up.
I arrive at the Arcade after a bit more sneaking and stabbing. Feron is walking around the Arcade. He sees me and walks over.
"What brings you here at this hour?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"Haha! Well, I came over here to guard this area, after somone found an unconscious Knight outside the storage area. Probably Gremlin infliltrators. I'm here to make sure no more come up."
"Oh, well I have some important business in Moorcroft, so I'll be heading over there. Hopefully it's safe there."
"Alright, I'll see you in the morning."
Fool. Didn't take much to get around him. I stroll on over to the elevator, knowing that I had escaped. Then a Valiance shot flew past my head.
I turned around to see an enraged Feron firing at me.
'You traitor!!" He yelled.
But how could he-
Wait. The blood on the Rigadoon. Of course.
I ran, but not before a took a shot from his handgun. I stumbled, momentarily confused, but the I rolled to the elevator, set the depth to 8, and I was on my way.
On my way to a new beginning.
Betrayed by his own kind?
I can see some sort of bad thing happening very soon.
Thief. Cutthroat. Warrior-for-hire. That would be me. Dussnar. I'll cut to the chase. This is the story of one of my, well, more interesting adventures.
But, you're probably wondering how this came to be, right? I am a former Spiral Knight, by the way. This first entry is why I left Haven, and the Spiral Order.
(Note: All dates are roughly translated from whatver the Spiral Knight's calender is)

[September 16, 2346]
I had just left my crash site not a few weeks ago. I'm not your average Knight. I work in my own interests. Generally when you're stranded on an alien world, that's not a very good trait to possess. I had no friends. I didn't trust anyone. I did my missions. But as soon as I trained, as soon as I surpassed these other fools, I would make the power of this planet mine.
Or so I thought.
One day, I decided to make a delve down to the Gremlin refugee town of Emberlight. I was heading to Tier 3. I wanted to get to The Core, to become a hero! Not that I'm concerned with petty things like fame. I just figured no one would suspect I'm doing anything bad if I was famous. After a lot of walking and fighting, I arrived. A knight in bulky T67 Guardian Armor waited at the forcefield that led into Emberlight.
"Halt! You do not have Tier 3 clearance!" he yelled.
"Get out of my way."
He sidestepped in front of the field.
"This is for you own safety. Please return to Ha-"
"No. I told you to move. Now move!"
"Sir, please don't argu-"
I slid past his right side and ran for the lift into Stratum 5, not caring what happened. I quickly descended before the Spiral Warden had time to react. I was so close! This was easier than I expected.
[September 17, 2346]
Well, it seems I spoke too soon. I've been hiding in this Lichenous Lair for a day now. I really don't want to have to call for a rescue, especially considering I broke into here without clearance. But.... it was my life or my dignity. My life was more important, of course, so I called for a rescue team. They were definantly NOT happy to have to drag me out of the Lichenous Lair, and I recieved a thurough scolding when I returned to Haven.
It was then I knew I needed to escape the rules and confines of the Spiral Order.
