This RP is now closed.

The old one is there -> http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/33996

The Clockwork Renegades is, as Azure-Orbit said in the old RP, not a dice-rolling RP. Think of it as writing a fan-fiction with a bunch of other people, and you decide what your character does. You may think that I'm copying him, but I assure you, I am not. This is his RP taken by one of the players who was sad to see it go, maybe changed here and there, and revived. The Clockwork Renegade symbol is a golden gear with the Core in the background, and the Clockwork Renegade meeting place is in an abandoned Treasure Vault. Also, a special thanks to Snowdusk for being the first to post. If he hadn't posted, nobody would, and my work would be a waste. Thank you, Snowdusk!
Now that we've got that understood, let us move on.

The Story
After the spiralians crashed onto the Cradle, they've been trying to get to the Core, a massive energy source in the center of the Cradle. But there were some who weren't so willing to let the spiralians barge onto their lands in the Clockworks. These the spiralians called the "monsters". They fought to get to the Core, so they could get enough energy to leave the planet and go to their home world. The clockwork creatures fought to keep the spiralians from barging onto their land. They were there first, after all. What neither side knew, whatsoever, was that their fighting was destroying the Clockworks which held the Cradle together.
A stranger by the name of Takun saw all this, and even though he wasn't in this war, the disastrous effects would reach him and many other beings. So he founded The Clockwork Renegades! Creatures who believed that the best way to get the spiralians off their planet was to help them to the core joined the Renegades. You are one of those creatures.
Welcome to the Clockwork Renegades.

Rules:
1) No controlling events like "A giant gear falls from the ceiling and kills everyone." You control your character. What more do you want?
2) Do not control anyone else's character without their permission. You don't want them to do it to you, don't do it to others.
3) No perfect characters, people! Whats the fun in being able to do everything? It might be fun to you, but trust me, it isn't for anyone else.
4) Don't use information that your character doesn't have. I.E. Some people are talking about a trap that one of them placed for your character, then your character avoids them all. Just because you can see what is happening everywhere doesn't mean your character does!
5) Make the last letter of every app word capitalized. I.E. NamE: Jack, GendeR: Male. This is to show me that you read the rules. I'm not going to do it, or people might copy off of me.
6) Always give enough information when you fight.
Say: "I had encountered a gremlin thwacker who recognized me because of the Clockwork Renegade symbol on my armor. It attacked to the left, but I blocked it and tried to counter strike, but the gremlins attack had left my off balance, and I fell to the ground. The gremlin tried to strike me again, but I dodged and struck it's hands. It yelped in pain and dropped it's weapon. I took the opening and hit it on the head, and it fell face down onto the ground."
Don't say: "A gremlin came around a corner and we had a big fight, but I won with barely any pain." Also, as the 2nd rule applies, don't control someone else's character, even when fighting.
7) Please use correct grammar and the spell checker on this forum. Nobody is perfect, and I'm not saying I don't have a problem with this, but please do your best.
8) When doing out of character talking (OOC), use double parentheses on both sides of the message I.E. ((Go with the flow!)). Also, please don't do this without at least a bit of in character talking (IC), and when you post IC, don't just post a little bit. You don't need a lot, one paragraph will do.
9) You can swear, but don't do it a lot, and think of something your species would have as a swear. I.E. (Gremlin) Aw, rusting retrodes! Okay, I admit, it was a stupid swear, but I think you got the idea.
10) You may have relationships, but don't take it to far.
11) If you want to add something to the main storyline, please contact me in Spiral Knights.
12) Please wait at least 2 posts before you post again. This might make it slow, but we don't want anyone left behind.

Don't want to be a Renegade?
"Public Enemies" are players who don't want to be a Clockwork Renegade. They have the ability to do somethings that Renegades can't, like being a spiralian, a creature like a boss but not as powerful, and a mix between beings. Though they seem awesome to be, there will only be an amount compared to how many Renegades there are. The list at the bottom of this post will be who is what, and if there is an open slot for a Public Enemy. But remember, I will tell you if your character is too powerful! Also, these are enemies of the knights and Renegades, so, as all books say, you will lose at the end. If you die, though, just post another app and start all over :)

List of creatures you may NOT be:
1) A boss or the same species as a boss
2) Spiralian (spiral knight)
3) Something that isn't in Spiral Knights

NPCs
NPCs are actually secondary characters. You can make NPCs when you are accepted into the RP, and you can make as many as you want within reason. But even here, rule 3 applies! They must either be needed characters played by mods (Takun is one of these), or somebody connected to your primary character somehow. Either by being a friend, family member, or a creature you knew before you joined the Clockwork Renegades. If you want an enemy NPC, it can be a creature you knew from before you joined the Renegades (or friend or family member) that fights the spiraians, or a nemesis. Rule 2 also applies here.

Application:

Name: What you want your character to be called.
Gender: Are you male or female?
Race: A slime perhaps? Or maybe a devilite!
Personality: This is were you put the stuff that makes you, you! Are you timid? Cold? Nasty?
Appearance: You look like a monster, but do you have anything else that makes you look different from a different being of that species?
Equipment: What stuff do you use? Have any armor?
Skills: Remember rule 3! You can have a few specialties though. ;)
Biography: Before it joined the story, what did your character do, where did he/she live ect.
Additional Facts: Your allergies, your likes, your dislikes. All those things that don't matter as much. BUT THEY DO MATTER!
Suggestions: Come on, you can't expect this RP to be perfect. I made it, after all. Politely put things that should be changed, added, or gotten rid of here!

My app:

Name: Sky (Whatsit) Bushtrimmer
Gender: Male
Race: Snipe
Being from the over-world, Whatsit is curious about everything. Even in Haven, he had a big interest in machines, no matter what they did. He is also very gullible, and will believe almost anything.
Appearance: Sky blue body with white wings. The faster he spins, the darker the wings become until they turn silver.
Equipment: A beak able to pick up very small objects, razors on his wings, so if he spins fast enough, he can cut through metal. Whatsit also has a little backpack to carry stuff as long as somebody else puts stuff into it for him.
Skills: Whatsit is able to cut through things with his razor wings, he can fly and his eyes are very keen.
Biography: When hatched to the Bushtrimmers, they named Whatsit "Sky", because of his sky blue feathers and his cloud like wings. The Bushtrimmers were called that because that's what job they had in Haven, and what a good job they did! Have you ever seen a single bush that looked like it didn't belong? Anyway, that is why they had metal blades on there wings. And, since Sky was a Bushtrimmer, too, he got blades on his wings, also. When he was old enough to leave the nest (but too young to do any trimming), he gasped in wonder at everything there! The strangers, the spiralians, and the machines! And at the center of it all, was the great auction house. Whatsit made a snipe-line to it. "What does this do?"
he asked the snipe who was assigned to show him around Haven and keep him out of trouble. "It is a machine that spiralians use to get weapons, armor and other things to help them in the clockworks. It works-"
Sky interrupted him and asked another question. Soon somebody called him Whatsit because he was always asking "Whats is do?", and it became his permanent nickname.
Then one day, he wondered into the arcade, and what a sight! It was like a giant machine made of little machines! He looked at the crystals, he looked at the little booth things that the tutor sit in, and then, he saw the elevators! He shot like a bullet to an elevator. But the problem with flying fast is that it's hard to stop. Whatsit slammed the dashboard, breaking the elevator, and it fell into the depths of the Clockworks, with Whatsit on it! Sure he could just fly away, but he wasn't exactly thinking. He screamed as he held onto the elevator for dear life. When it finally landed, he sighed a huge sigh of relief. But what he didn't notice was a little fire, started from the elevator's rough landing, inching towards the dashboard. Suddenly, Whatsit was launched into the air with a massive explosion, and hurdled through the clockworks, until he landed on a forgotten Treasure Vault. Well, it was forgotten by spiralians, anyway. There was a bunch of clockwork creatures just staring at Whatsit as if they never saw a snipe, they never saw a busted elevator fly across the Clockworks, or both. Then a stranger came from the bunches of creatures and said, "Welcome, little snipe, to the Clockwork Renegades.
Additional Facts: Has a big interest in machines, hates being stuck in a room, and is allergic to Dark Matter (Purple Crystals). He also likes eating cake, pies, and other pastries.
Suggestions: If I did, they would already be here.

If you've ever wrote a

If you've ever wrote a fan-fic, then you would kind of get the idea. But instead of writing what everyone in the story does, you control one of the characters in it. I'm going to make a few things, and then you navigate through it using your character. I'm not, however, going to do everything. With help from my mods when I get some, I make up the main story as we go along, and keep people on it. You make up smaller things like what you fight, and how you fight.
Here is an example. One of the Clockwork Renegades send everybody out on certain missions, and sends your character to Emberlight. = My doing.
Your character (Okay I'm tired of saying that, so I'll call him Dude) passes through a candlestick keep, and he encounter a gremilkin. He runs away a different path and some spookats block your path. Dude fights them off as he continues running to the magic candle ahead. = Your doing.
Ask any other questions if you need to. I want this RP to be fun for everyone. :)

@Everyone

If anyone is to have fun, then someone will have to post the first application. My little sister would, but she's having a lot of trouble in school, and Mom won't let her get on the computer until she is done.

I think I'm ready now, I'll give it a go :D

NamE: Colin
RacE: Slime (Jelly Cube)
GendeR: Male (if a jelly could possibly have any gender at all)

PersonalitY: It likes to stay silent, well frankly, it can't talk at all. To Colin, being silent is the only way to think properly. You might as well describe it as a shy jelly. Colin isn't a really outgoing jelly. It would rather stay cool in the Cooling Chambers than risking a hideous meltdown in the sunny Jigsaw Valley. However, if it meets a great companion or friend, it will reveal its warmer side and express friendliness and loyalty. If it would meet an enemy, its only wish is to make him/her stay silent like itself, either through instant-freezing, or by temperature discouragement, depending on the situation.

EquipmenT: Colin is pretty much as bare as other jelly cubes, except that it has a Shivermist Buster stuffed right in the middle of its core, after engulfing a careless knight wielding that weapon. Although the bomb is safe inside, Colin can risk a little detonation to set off a huge area of icy mist. Colin is usually safe if the detonation is small, but if the detonation is too high, Colin can explode into pieces as a result, requiring a great help from his companions to piece him together and an extra freeze through the freeze vents.

AppearancE: Colin looks just like a regular ice jelly cube, but it is distinguished by its funny-looking core inside, which contains the Shivermist Buster. It has three icy spikes protruding out through its top, and its body coated with a thick layer of shiny, blue-ish ice, making it a little more durable than the regular squishy jelly cubes.

SkillS: Besides the usual twist and turns (and spike protrusions), Colin learnt to utilise its Shivermist Buster for attacks. Although the bomb is safe inside the core, Colin can risk a little detonation to set off a huge area of icy mist. Colin is usually safe if the detonation is small, but if the detonation is too high, Colin can explode into pieces as a result, requiring a great help from his companions to piece him together and an extra freeze through the freeze vents. Almost all of Colin's attacks can freeze its foes, but with certain conditions such as heat, the freezing properties will not be effective.

BiographY:
Ice jelly cubes are mainly created through ultra-low cooling temperatures. When a jelly cube is big enough, it will split apart into two completely different cubes, thus they can reproduce without a partner. That was how Colin existed in the first place.

Because of its quiet behaviour, it doesn't go out into the open space to ward off intruding knights. Instead, it prefers to hang out in a soothing, cooling freeze vent. If it does encounter a knight, he/she will be expected to be turned into a magnificent ice statue. If Colin is in a good mood, it would put that knight out into the Wolver Den as toys for the wolvers. Otherwise, the knight will be added to Colin's great statue collections, remained frozen for eternity.

Once, it managed to chip off a shiny name tag off a frozen knight, with the word "COLIN" inscribed on it. Fascinated by what it found, the ice jelly cube proceeded to attach the name tag to itself. Since then, everyone (specifically, those who knows how to read) started to call it by that name.

One day, Colin was polishing a batch of statue collections when he overheard some jelly gossip, about a gathering of denizens from the Clockworks to assist the knights on their big mission. At first, it didn't really want to bother about it. After a few days, it saw a strange masked traveller moving along through the chambers. The stranger caught sight of Colin and his collections. For some reasons, the stranger actually became interested in the icy jelly cube. Thus, Colin was introduced to the Clockwork Renegades. Even though it would have to abandon the ice statues, he would actually want them to stay alive and stay away from his home once and for all.

Additional FactS: The ice jelly cube has a great affinity towards ice, and it is willing to go for great measures in order to freeze things, living or non-living. Of course, its greatest weakness is fire. Exposed to any high temperature, it will lose its icy exterior parts. If the core itself is overheated, that would only mean the end. Colin doesn't like being called a "Slime", despite his very nature, as he stresses that he is "a rock-hard, icy-cold jelly cube, not a warm, squishy slime". If given a choice, Colin is very willing to learn some sign languages to communicate with non-jelly creatures, like the Morse Code. Or even better, a translator device.

SuggestionS: You are free to make it go through painful journeys, as along as it survives. What Colin needs is great friends to be with along the way. If Colin is to be destroyed, give it a chance to be revived. Let it live with nice memories :)

Well then... I'm joining!

NamE: Jack 'Frosty' Frost

GendeR: Male

RacE: Layoafer Devilite

PersonalitY: A very cynical Devilite who prefer solitary over companionship. Due to his past he had hard time getting to know others and understanding their feelings. He would mostly keep things on his mind by his own and would avoid most conversation. Despite that he is very calm and would still stay collective in dangerous situations.

AppearancE: He has a smaller body comparing to most devilites, thus making him much more swifter in combat and evasive. Jack Frost is usually seen with an oversized yellow scarf which be dragged along the ground and also while using frosty glasses.

EquipmenT: Jack Frost was able to acquire a nightblade he had claimed as he killed a knight, his combat skills using his nightblade had proven to be stronger than any other nightblade wielders.

SkillS: Surprisingly, Jack Frost is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter despite his small body. He is also skilled at cooking and could make the worst ingredients into edible foods. Also being a layoafer he had developed the immunity to freeze and cold environments.

BiographY:

It was a usual day at work, Jack Frost grunted as he piled the bodies of the unfortunate knights who happened to be snooping around his shift. His other allies are now dead and little that he cared for them, looking back at the piles of dead knights he reminisced his memories he had buried under those bloody scarf.

His name, Jack Frost is the personification of ice and frost. He was raised as an orphan in the dark city with many other devilites who had lost their parents on the hands of the cruel knights, the only thing left for him is an oversized yellow scarf from his late parents. He hated the other orphans, they made fun of how he was smaller than the rest of the devilites and weaker, and since then he had been training himself with a sandbag he had founded on the abandoned warehouse he usually hang out alone. After years he had shown skill for fighting and was ready to prove that he is much stronger than those orphans. But something wrong happened that day.

The knights from Haven had launched a full scale attack to the dark city, slaughtering many innocent devilites worker, amongst them are the orphans. Jack Frost quickly hid in the abandoned warehouse hoping that he wouldn't join the rest of orphans, he had stayed there for days without eating or even drinking and somehow made it out alive. Hoping that it is safe to go out, Jack Frost exited the warehouse and was shocked in horror. The streets painted with bloods of Devilites and bodies of children and woman skewered on the pitchforks of the dead devilites.

He could suddenly feel a presence behind him, a knight in a skelly armor grinned at him and attacked Jack Frost with his sharp nightblade. Without hesitating Jack Frost sweeped the leg of the knight with his body, making both of them to slide through the red street. Luckily Jack Frost was quick enough to recover from the impact and grabbed the knight's nightblade. He stabbed the knight on his energy core and watched as a powerful stream of energy disappear into the dark sky, Jack Frost pulled the nightblade from the knight's chest and decided to keep it for himself as a memory that knights are evil and must be driven out of cradle.

As Jack Frost remembered those sad memories, he began to wonder if working for the pit boss had any advantage of his vendetta. Jack Frost decided to sneak away from the dark city hoping to get rid of the knights once and for all. And that was when he found the Clockwork Renegades. At first he was against the idea of helping the knights but it seemed as he ran out of options, but the only true knight he wanted his revenge is the knight who ordered the attack of dark city.

(cookie to those who kinda read this awful bio :3)

Additional FactS:

Likes: With nothing but pain in his life, Jack Frost have taken the enjoyment of bloodbath and torturing his victims. He is also interested in culinary and likes to eat cookies and also meat.

Dislike: Jack Frost hated crowds, he would always try to get out of a room if there is too many people in it. He also hates the sound of gunshot, as it brings back dark memories to him.

Allergic: Jack Frost is allergic to fur, meaning that he get dizzy everytime he is near gremlins or wolvers. Most of the time he would become nauseous in hot temperature

SuggestionS: Try to at least make him learn to respect his allies and start to understand them, and it may be up to you to develope the skills for him! :D

But he sounds a little bit too OP right?

@'Snowdusk' You're accepted :D Just wait until I say we have enough people, and then we can start.

@'Infernus-Dragneel' Well done! Just a thought, though, why did Jack Frost join the Clockwork Renegades if he hates knights? Did he join to get them off the Cradle, because you had nowhere else to go, or some other reason? Change your app a little, and then I'll accept you.

Good luck to both of you! :)

NamE: SoulGendeR: MaleRacE:

NamE: Soul

GendeR: Male

RacE: A phantom.

PersonalitY: Soul is witty, but not one to solve problems. His sarcasm is his best weapon.

AppearancE: Soul has really messed up eyes, they're like rainbows. :D

EquipmenT: Soul wears a magic hood to hide his insecurities. And instead of a recolored FoV he has a Gran Faust. :D

SkillS: More like skills he doesn't have. Soul can't do the regular phantom ball thingy.

BiographY: Soul once was a pretty normal phantom. He lived in a Tier Two Graveyard, but was not allowed to fight knights because of his disability. He would sit down and just draw pictures on the walls of the cemetery, every once in a while wiping a tear. Soul didn't have any friends. He felt alone.

On his 363rd birthday, Soul found a Gran Faust. With it, he left the graveyard to wander around the Clockworks to see if he could find a better home. He was a vagabond, searching high and low for something to make him happy. He eventually came into a gremlin facility. The creatures were working with minerals and Soul slipped into one of their labs. He watched as the gremlin scientists worked with crimsonite, moonstone, valestone, and Luminite. The experiment went wrong, and the minerals exploded. The blast killed the scientists, but Soul was already technically dead. Instead of killing him, the minerals splattered all over Soul. He cleaned himself up, but the colors in his eyes were stuck. He tried in vain to fix them, to no avail. Afraid of his new look, Soul covered his face with a hood.

He rushed away from the gremlin factory and resorted to wandering again. After years and years, he found the Clockworks Renegades.

Additional FactS:
Allergies: Soul is allergic to light. Any big lights, and he starts to feel hazy.
Likes: Soul likes to be in Devilite Cities. He likes the air about them and the devilish runes that make him feel stronger.
Dislikes: Holy light such as Divine Avengers, Argent Peacemakers etc. He also dislikes Devilites, despite loving their Office Buildings. He thinks they're the most annoying creatures on Cradle.

SuggestionS: Put him anywhere, as long as he can survive. Feel free to give him buddies, but he doesnt need em.

@'Infernus-Dragneel' You are accepted now :) And, no, he isn't to OP.

@'Artistbma' Why is Soul joining the Clockwork Renegades? He doesn't have anything against or for the Spiralians, so why does he want them to leave? Also, he needs a disadvantage to dying. I know Soul doesn't actually "die", because he's already dead, but Soul needs something that happens to him when something "kills" him. Regular phantoms turn into balls, and have to wait a bit before they can fight again. What does Soul do?

Feline-Grenadier

I'll try it out!

NamE: Ka'in
GendeR: Female
RacE: Gremlin
PersonalitY: A quiet, shy little furball for a Gremlin. She doesn't speak much, but she tends to make simple gestures and a simple word when asking a question. She does try to be nice, but her inability to converse often makes her frustrated.
AppearancE: A Maltese-colored Gremlin, about half the height of a Darkfang Thwacker. She wears a mask similar to Nonna's over her mouth, but doesn't use goggles like most Gremlins would. She wears a black sweater and sweatpants.
EquipmenT: Thwack Hammer, Wrench Wand, Darkfang Shield,
SkillS: She can do some basic mending mid-combat, but don't expect her to mend bones or heal mortal wounds.
BiographY: Ka'in was a Mender in the Grand Arsenal. She had seen Seerus and a couple of the other Crimson Order members looking at the engineers' creations, but they failed to notice the work of the Menders. Frustrated, she enlisted to join as a Combat Medic, where she could put her mending skills to a higher use. This changed, however, as her superiors needed more and more Thwackers to fight Tortodrones, machines that went corrupt by a glitch in their programming. For a brief period of time, some Gremlins heard the rumor of a Thwacker mending simultaneously. Then, the Spiral Knights came to Cradle. At this time, Ka'in had voluntarily gone back to being a Combat Medic after her prestigious role of fighting the rogue AI, so her first encounter was in battle with the Alpha Squad. The squad had chosen not to take her life, much to Ka'in's surprise. In order to repay her debt, she want's the Knights to reach the Core, mainly for the purpose of freeing Alpha Squad. So, one day, she left her living quarters, and never returned.
Additional FactS: Ka'in, officially, has never left the Great Colony. However, it doesn't look like she'll rejoin them anytime soon, as only a few of her close friends have a vague idea as was what was going to happen. The gremlins in Emberlight haven't seen her either.

Well... In any case... I'll start first!

(( shall there be any npc? ))

"So this is what it is now..." Jack Frost sighed, his old hometown is now ruins littered with rotten corpse and bones, his heart weighed by the feeling of guilt and anger.

"Those knights will one day pay..." he gritted his teeth and entered the ghost town slowly as if not to awaken anything inside of it.

Jack Frost passed through the places he used to go when he was still a kid, he passed the bakery where they sell the most delicious cookie ever which is now nothing but a pile of ash. Jack Frost stopped for a moment and stared at the small shop which is now pieces of dusty debris and stone, he used to go there and buy some candy and beef jerky which tasted even better than the food he usually eat.

"This is it..." he sighed as he looked at the unscratched building, this is where he grew up, the dark city orphanage.

As Jack Frost slowly walked inside the empty building he could somehow feel as if Devilites still lived here, he turned around and watched as kids chasing one another happily. The crowds then began to disappear and replaced with dusty furnitures.

"Can't believe I forgot about this one..." Jack Frost grinned and opened a door, the furniture inside the room was left untouched, just like the day when they were all invaded by the knights. Something suddenly caught his intrest, Jack Frost turned around to the clean mirror to see a still short Devilite but stronger, his usual earmuffs are now replaced by comm units and a badge attached to the end of his still long scarf.

"Fool! What are you doing?! Helping those knights is the same as you killing your people!" a voice whispers in Jack Frost's head, "Why are you doing this?! Those knights are nothing but trouble!" another voice appeared. Jack Frost clutched his head in pain of hearing the words of the dead, "This is the only way...."

"It is not! You can use the core.. The core.. THE CORE!!!" the voices roared all together at the same time, Jack Frost roared in pain but snapped out of it as soon as his comm directed him to a familiar voice.

"Frosty, do you hear me?"

"Yes..." Jack Froast groaned as he pressed the button on the ear comm, "I'm just on a short detour, don't worry I'll be back soon."

"Alright then.... I expect you to return in another hour." the transition ended and Jack Frost was now alone in the quiet room. He couldn't hear anymore voices and he decided to get going. He exited his room and was confronted by two Trojans who were pointing their blade at Jack Frost.

"The spirits..." one of them spoke in a disassembled voice, "The spirits told us that you are helping those monsters!"

Jack Frost looked down at his badge, "Oh right, I better get going or I shall be forced to smash you back into brimstones!" he smiled and brandished his nightblade.

(( intended to do this, skip fight scene and just continue with the story!))

Applications 3

((@'Vinnydime' I found three problems with your app. 1) Why did you post the part about knocking gremlins and spiralians at the bottom of your post? What was that info for? 2) Why do you want to be a Public Enemy if spiralians saved your life? Your post even says that you want to help them. Public Enemies are against the Clockwork Renegades and the Spiral Knights. 3) Try reading the rules again.

@'Infurnus-Dragneel' I was actually waiting for more people to join before we start, but I guess we can start now.))

"The Clockwork Renegades? What is that?" Whatsit asked the stranger, who just so happened to be Takun.
"The Clockwork Renegades are a group of creatures from all over the Cradle, who believe that the best way to get the spiralians off this planet is to help them get to the Core, little one."
"What is the Core, and why would we want the spiralians to leave?"
"The Core is a giant energy source in the center of the Cradle. The spiral knights want to get some energy from it to power their ship, so that they can go home. But most of the creatures don't want the spiralians to get to the Core, so they fight them, and the fighting is destroying the Clockworks. We Renegades want them to get to the Core and leave so the Cradle will be safe," Tukan replied.
"I've heard of the Clockworks! When can I see them? Are they big? Oh, I have so many questions!"
Yes, too many questions. This snipe sure can't stick to a point. thought Takun. Aloud, he said, "Yes, but the questions will have to wait. We are having a meeting, and you interrupted us. We would like to get back to the meeting. You my listen, if you wish."

Alrighty heres your answers!

When Soul was younger, a knight released toxic vapors into the Graveyard and it is what messed up his ball power thing.

So he wants to get rid of them and their contagion.

And for the dying part, if under intense light for an adequate amount of time, Soul will turn to ashes. If he's hit by holy stuff, that hurts him more then other weapons.

Is that good enough or is Soul OP?

Erm, I read the Public Enemy part over and over again, and I only see that there would be a small amount of people getting that position.

I just assumed that they were separate from the Renegades, since you didn't say they were AGAINST the Knights.

Ripizza

My Application

NamE: Thor Stormhammer

GendeR: Male

RacE: Electreant

PersonalitY: Prideful and aggressive, but none too bright, Thor is likely to pound anyone who disses him. However, he can't stand to see any of his friends mistreated, and will destroy anything that hurts them.

AppearancE: Large grey Lumber, with an iron hammer taking the place of his smashing arm. The hammer is voltaic, due to the Electreant's ability to generate energy, and will shock enemies as well as stunning them.

EquipmenT: His hammer is all he needs to annihilate anyone dumb enough to make him angry.

SkillS: As if smashing things isn't enough, his conductive abilities are enough to shock you.

BiographY: A run-in with a giant gear, (:P), left him lacking his main arm, any Lumber's pride and joy. After being outcast from his tribe, (for his injury), he dejectedly wandered the Clockworks. Fortune shone on him, however, and he managed to find a gremlin willing to construct a hammer to take the place of his lost limb. Feeling indebted to the gremlin, for it's service, Thor asked it what it wished for in return. The gremlin replied, telling him that it was part of a group of revolutionarys, the Clockwork Renegades. Unsure what this society was, Thor decided to meet with it's leader, before taking any decisive path.

AdditionaL FactS: An amalgamation of wood, metal, and electrical parts; this Lumber will break down temporarily if exposed to water, or fire.
Needless to say, the massive constructs that are Lumbers will sometimes go berserk, repeatedly swinging at the enemies, and may accidentally hurt a friend if it gets in his way.

SuggestionS: I believe that this RP may need some people to keep the storyline running. Starting waves of monsters, bringing a group of knights down an elevator, and such like.

I guess i'll try to join. I might not be as active as others, but I'll try. If there is any problem, I'll try to fix it.

NamE: Opae (opaque without the q and u, pronounced like Okay with a p)
GendeR: Male
RacE: Kleptolisk
AppearancE: A young Kleptolisk that is a bit smaller than normal, and can only change into solid colors (no patterns), and small, sharp claws.
PersonalitY: Opae is very shy and doesn't talk much. He tries his best to do whatever will make others appreciate him. He prefers to hide rather than fight however, making him a good spy. He is scared that no one will ever like him and it haunts his dreams.
EquipmenT: Claws, uncommon for a chromalisk and a sack for carrying stuff, currently only haveing rocks and food.
SkillS: changing color, good at being mostly silent.
BiographY: Opae was born with a rare illness that allows Chromalisks to only change into solid colors. Opae was shy from birth, liking to be alone and hiding from other. This was because the other Chromalisks made fun of his illness, saying he'll never be able to do anything. After 10 years without any love, he ran away to try and figure out any way possible for him to cure his illness, traveling all over the clockworks and cradle. One day on the surface of Cradle he was camping near a cliff when Wolvers attacked. They laughed at his inability to hide, and attacked him, but ended up just pushing him off the edge into the clockwork and into the Clockwork Renegades hideout. Where he felt safe and joined, though he's still worried that they might not like him and will get rid of him.
Additional factS: Likes: cool colors, grass, fruit. Dislikes: fights, failure, watching someone else get hurt. (Note: He won't try to fight unless he's helping someone or is forced to.) Fears: Abandonment, the Undead, Losing his few friends.
SuggestionS: None.

So I guess I'll just go on ahead.

((Here goes nothing))

Soul wiped mud off his stomach.

"Tripping on that tombstone wasn't the brightest thing to do," he thought.

Zombies began to crawl out of their holes and Soul cursed.

"Get back in there, nothing to see here."

The undead creatures returned to their eternal abodes and Soul took a look at his surroundings. It was the normal; deathly winds rattled the tombstones, groans could be heard from the hard soil, and shrieks of phantoms flew across the dark misty sky.

Soul heard a voice in his ear. He turned around and saw no one. Then he realized it was someone talking to him through his com unit.

"Soul, get here as soon as possible."

"Alright, I'm just taking a last look at my home," Soul explained.

"Just come soon."

"Ok," Soul said into the unit.

Soul brushed more dirt off himself. Then he heard a zombie stir behind him. He turned to see the zombie shambling towards him with its mouth wide open. The creature breathed ash and dust in Soul's direction. He sidestepped the attack and rushed behind the undead abomination. Soul grasped his Gran Faust and drove it through the zombie's stomach.

He returned his demonic sword to its sheathe and pulled his hood tighter about his head. The graveyard was unnaturally cool. He whipped it back out again when loud growls indicated that more zombies were coming out of their resting places. He backed up when he saw the dozen or so creatures advancing on his position.

Soul dashed towards the coming hoard and spun around, slicing up several zombies. They fell to the ground, beheaded. Soul ducked as a zombie tried to pounce on him. He smashed his Gran Faust into the back of the zombie and looked away as dark red blood spewed from the wound. Soul knocked another zombie down with the hilt of his weapon and another with the blade. He slashed one's hand off and then cut it in half. He spun around yet again, knocking all the creatures around him down. One by one, he stabbed his Gran Faust into their heads.

Soul finally stepped back and admired the work he had done. Sixteen dead bodies lay strewn across the floor in a pool of devilish blood. Soul wiped sweat and grime from his forehead and sheathed his Gran Faust again.

The phantom then set off to where the Renegades were.

My turn, I guess...

As the meeting resumed, Thor wondered who the rude little bird that had interrupted the meeting was. Examining it closely, he also wondered what kind of a creature, not a construct, could rotate it's wings like that. All this thinking heating his brain circuits, Thor continued listening to the Stranger. When the meeting adjourned for a short break, he went over to the bird.
"How you get here, bird?" he asked, then continued. "Why you crash lift in meeting?"

"How you get here, bird, why you crash lift in meeting?" A deep voice said from behind Whatsit.
"Well, I-" Whatsit started to say while he turned around. Then he saw a strange, grey tree thing. Or was it a robot?
"What are you? A robot? A tree? A monster? Why do you have hammer for an arm?" He said as he flew around the lumbers head.

((@'Dmatter' (Post 40) Missions haven't been given out yet, but you can start in the jigsaw valley if you want to fight wolvers. You can also start at the end of the meeting.))

With the pesky bird annoying

With the pesky bird annoyingly fluttering about his head, making him dizzy, Thor was growing angry. Small lightning flashes danced around him, crawling down towards his hammer arm. A grumbling noise, like distant thunder, sounded in his chest.

"STAY STILL BIRD!" he roared, and all of the nearby bushes in the vault were blown back by a swiftly moving cloud of steam.

((I would add more, but I'll wait for Whatsit.))

Whatsit fell to the ground to get away from the wind, and looked up at Thor with frightened, innocent eyes, quaking fearfully.

Soul stepped onto the elevator and rode up to the Treasure Vault where the meeting was being held.

He saw a snipe and a lumber-like creature. Soul ran over to them.

"Heyo! Sorry for being late, hehe, you guys should get accustomed to that," Soul said. If phantoms ever smiled, that's what Soul was doing.

((so i'll just go with the wolver attack, falling into the meeting, k?.)

I was practicing my camouflage on the rocks near the cliff, but i couldn't get the right shade of brown. "ugh, why can't i just DO it. I wish there was someone who understood my illness and knew a cure, but no such person exists." I said to myself, adding "...Probably" to keep my hopes up. Suddenly i heard a howl off in the distance. I stood, shocked waiting to hear it again.

It was coming closer.

I quickly packed up my stuff and put it in my sack and started to leave when i heard it again. and again. and again. They were all around me. I was not sure what it was, and it could be anything. I was hoping that I would be at LEAST lucky enough for it not to be undead.

I saw them on the horizon, a pack of wolvers. I tried to hid behind the rocks, but they were quickly on me.

"Well, well." the alpha said "What do we have here? A Chromalisk, although a bit small for my liking." they laughed. I tried to hide from their laughter, but I ended up turning orange by mistake. "and he can't even change colors! wow, this will be easy." I backed away to the cliff. "Get him boys, we could use some more meat." They all jumped at me. I tried to dodge, but there were too many of them, and i was injured all over. Then, the rocks under me fell down, with me following them. The wolver jumped off just in time, but i just kept falling.

After awhile i woke up in a pile of leaves in a treasure vault. I must have gotten knocked out. I carefully got out and saw what looked like a meeting. I hid in the bushes and watched a curious bird and a weird lumber, it seemed as though no one had spotted me yet. And then I saw a phantom walk up to them. I hope he can't see me.

Post number one! :D

((@Ebil-Bunny: Thanks for accepting! I sure hope another original Clockwork Renegade will join us.))

Colin didn't mean to be late. It just happened to leave the fancy gadget the Stranger gave him for communication in a freeze vent (Colin later learnt that that the knights call it a com unit). Frozen for who-knows-how-long, the device's circuits have jammed up. Sadly, Colin had only known how to permafrost, but not defrosting things. Unwillingly, it sets off to the nearby elevator to look for a place warm enough to melt the ice, but still tolerable as to not melt Colin itself.

So far, the nearest sunny place is the Treasure Vault. Colin had only heard of this place, but never entered it. Colin started to wonder what sort of treasures are hidden in it. But that is the least of his concerns for now.

After a few seconds, the elevator halted to a stop. Colin stepped out, feeling a little uneasy squirming about on the strange pastures. It seemed like that particular place held a lot of resemblance to the Jigsaw Valley. Same sunny skies, grass everywhere, but not a single Clockwork denizen wandering about. In fact, it looked strangely quiet. Sounds good enough.

Colin wiggled about, trying to find a good spot to defrost the device. As it started to sweat (both from nervousness and heat), it stumbled across a gate. What could be behind that? it wondered. Colin searched for a button on the ground nearby and pushed it. Frankly enough, the gate opened. Colin proceeded through the gate and followed the path. Then, as it was about to turn about a wall, it heard the sound of heavy gears grinding like mad, and a little innocent squirm.

What could be behind that wall? Colin stopped on his tracks, and decided to peek instead of getting in. Colin poked out its bulky body, until its core was exposed enough to get a good look. Turns out there was a little bird-like creature, and an angry-looking Electreant, and an odd ghostly figure. And the Stranger. Colin recognised him instantly. Could that group be the Clockwork Renegades? Colin thought it would be best not to get in first, and continued observing the group.

Whatsit flew back into the air as a phantom approached.
"Heyo! Sorry for being late, hehe, you guys should get accustomed to that," it said.
"What are you? Are you a ghost? I can see right through you!" Whatsit replied, "Oh, actually, you are late, if you wanted to get here for the meeting. I got here in the middle, courtesy of curiosity!" The snipe nodded his beak over in the direction of the crashed elevator. "Came on that thing."

As i watch, It seems they are

As i watch, It seems they are having a conversation of some kind. Not wanting to interrupt (or *shiver* get spotted by the phantom) I look around for the nearest elevator. I see it, but there is a ice cube with a weird looking core and a name tag that says Colin or something like that blocking the way. I guess I'll have to wait till he moves. Bored with waiting, i take an interest in what they are saying. I realize how uncomfortable this spot is, and try to get more comfortable, and i accidentally rustle the bush. "great" I think. "now they know someones here. They are probably hungry for chroma with my luck."

Thor, having let off some steam, calmed down slightly.
"When done, we wait. You very late." he said to the phantom, which had appeared in their mist.

Suddenly, a nearby bush, which had somehow managed to remain intact, rustled mysteriously.
"Look in bush, see what go whoosh." Thor said.

It was the first time ever

It was the first time ever Colin has ever seen a talking bird, and it sure looked chatty. All the commotion seemed very discouraging to Colin, as it pondered about its next move.

However, its thoughts are interrupted by a rustling sound. Colin turned around to look where it came from. The ice jelly cube silently wished it isn't another chatty bird ambushing behind him.
