Retribution- a Roleplay (discussion thread)
Sat, 03/30/2013 - 10:14
Nerp. Hi there, and thank you for coming to my RP. As you can tell, im new at these, but ill do my best. So... Enjoy!
-------
The story:
War has come to Cradle. The Isorans and the Monsters of the Clockworks have always had tensions with each other, but now that tension has erupted into fighting. The Spiral Order is currently operating under martial law, restricting the very right of owning weapons to the military. Gangs wander the streets of Haven, crime rates have increased hundredfold, and the government is in complete disarray. Is there no end to this violence? Is there no one, or group of someones, that can save Cradle...
Rules
1: no godmodding, please. It may be fun for you, but nobody else will like it.
2: please try at least little to stick to the story. For example, dont do this:
Player 1: Bob attacked the lumber with his Leviathan.
Player 2: John blasted it with his Argent peacemaker.
Player 3: Cow grazed in the fields.
3: as cheesy as it sounds, do follow the golden rule. Please be courteous to the other players.
4. Do NOT use information that you know, but your character doesn't. For example: Player1 tells Player2 that he placed traps that would seriously hurt Player2's character. Player2's character miraculously knows that there was a trap there and safely avoids it even though there were no clues to suggest that there was a trap there. This style of Roleplaying is annoying and will get you removed.
5.When you are fighting against other players or NPC's describe every moment in full detail.
Don't say:
"I charged in with my sword, sliced his neck and left him dead with only a few scratches on me" please dont.
DO say:
"I attacked the Gremlin with my claymore and managed to land a hit on his left arm. He blocks my second swing with his blade and attempts to counter-attack me. He manages to graze my leg and I kneel to the ground. The Monster prepares and overhead swing to end me, but I roll out of the way and slash his right leg. He falls to the ground and I finish him off with an overhead swing hitting him straight in the back. He slumps lifelessly to the ground" = Good Roleplaying
6. Do not make your character perfect. Nobody likes a perfect character, except the controller. True it may seem cool to make a friendly character who is smart, strong, compassionate, and an all-around hero. But believe me when I say it is much more fun to play as a flawed character. It makes both the story and character interesting.
7. You must have at least decent grammar to participate. I know I'm probably being a hypocrite here but at least put effort into your spelling and punctuation. Complete and utter ignorance of grammar such as: "I walk to bar, talk, with owner abot, mission and-" I'm gonna stop you right there, please put effort into your grammar.
8. As my friend Thinslayer does in his/her RP's, I'd prefer that your characters start with a MAXIMUM of 3* level gear. Many characters in any RP's start with 5* gear, and I'd like for the characters to strengthen as they progress through the story, not automatically have the best gear.
Also, for simplicity's sake, I will say that ALL the Monsters have united under one flag, with a few exceptions (such as the Emberlight Gremlins). ok, thats enough formality. Now to the characters.

I like this RP already
I like that this RP takes place in the same world and time as Spiral Knights. I'm ready and willing to give it a go.
Also, I'm thinking that the Coliseum could be a twisted game of death for any Knights arrested by the Order. Maybe?

Roosterteeth. EVERYWHERE
I blame lim for making them too mainstream on the forum.

Too mainstream?
If it's on youtube, It's too mainstream.
If it's made by the same person who made RvB, It's too mainstream.
So. . . NOT MY FAULT!

The tale begins!
My edited proposal
It was a beautiful day. Snipes were tweeting, bushes were rustling, and knights were begging. A young woman, likely no older than 16, sat in the west garden with Monomi, writing a song. Well, modifying it. You may have heard it:
May it be the evening star
Shines down upon you.
May it be as darkness falls
Your heart will be true.
Friendless walk and lonely roam,
Oh how far you are from home!
May it be the shadow's call
Flies far, far away!
May it be, your journey on
To light the day,
When the knight is overcome,
You may rise to find the sun.
It was a pretty tune, but incomplete in her opinion. She sang it a couple times aloud, then bit the tip of her pipe as she tweaked a couple lyrics. A young woman with curly black hair, blue eyes, and an enviable chest approached her and complimented her. "I like your singing; it's better than that of a snipe!" Gwen giggled with embarrassment. "Thanks! I try." The young woman introduced herself. "I'm Sakaya. Nice to meet you!" Gwen curtsied and replied, "Same to you, Sakaya! I'm sure we'll be good friends."
Just then, a young man crashed to the ground just outside the garden, and Gwen rushed up to him. He looked up at her briefly before he lost consciousness. Gwen felt his bones, checking to see which ones were damaged, and set the ones that had been misplaced. She summoned a bolt of pure energy and gently applied it to the broken bones. They healed up in moments, but the boy was still unconscious. She suspected he'd suffered a concussion, so she induced sleep to his brain and delicately manipulated it to boost his recovery.
He soon awoke to find a pair of beautiful ladies staring down at him.
End of edited proposal

Not far away
I walk down the road as people whisper to each other. I try to ignore it, but fail. "Look at him, thinking he is better than us. If I could I would walk right up to him and shove my blade down his thr-" I am almost instantaneously in front of his face, My black hair parting to reveal my mask. "You'll what?!" I growl, my guns falling from the locks on my arms and into my hands. He gulps and steps back. I give him a glare before I turn back around, walking down the path as he tries to continue what he'd 'do to me'. Sickening. One with no courage shouldn't try to make such snide remarks. I look to the Snipes and pull my hood up.
I walk past the Spiral Wardens into the Forest, grumbling, "Why can't I be more like them?" It starts to rain, and I climb up into a tree, pulling out my Dusky Pipe. I stick it in my mouth, and puff on it, watching the rain. "Are you, are you, coming to the tree, where they strung up a man they say murdered three...." I sing softly to myself, as dark figures emerge from the Forest flora. Three Dusker Wolvers, all growling and foaming at the mouth.
I drop down, and draw my Sealed Sword. The bands around it reach out menacingly, like they wanted to string themselves around the necks of the beasts and choke them to death. I fly into the air, abd bring my blade into the ground, the circle spreading and freezing the Wolvers in place. As they struggle, I swing my blade in a wide arc, and-
Their heads thump to the ground around me, and the freeze releases their inanimate bodies, thumping to the ground. A whole pack of Alphas appears around me, and I turn my head, ready to face them....

Hmm
Here is my character app:
Faction: Spiral Order
Name: Sayaka Eishiro
Personality: very shy and innocent... Most of the time. She is a kind and loving soul around her friends, but on missions, she is a ruthless and brutal warrior, preferring to charge headlong instead of devising a plan. She has a habit of being completely clueless to what's going on, and isn't the brightest girl. She's stupid in a childish way, and hates when boys hit on her. She is very rebellious, but follows her orders obediently.
Gender: female
Age: 19
Appearance: normal height, with a regal air about her. Her curly, obsidian black hair swoops from her head down to her waist, and her eyes are aquamarine. Her chest is... larger than that of most girls, a fact that she hates to be reminded of.
Arsenal: Antigua, Swift Flourish, Sealed Sword, Tempered Calibur, Angelic set, Twisted Targe
Bio: Raised to obey the Spiral Order without question, Sayaka was indoctrinated into the Order's ways from a young age. She quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a Vanguard. She has become worried by Cradle's current state and is starting to question the Order's motives for the first time. This is only the beginning...

Well then
I guess I'll be applying too.
@Liminori: And apparently I've been watching too much Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, because when I heard the name Shion, I thought of Sonozaki Shion.
Yay, more Japanese names! Yes, this is basically the opposite of another character I applied in another fanfic.
Faction: Swarm/Gremlin
Name: Akairo
Personality: Often scared and shy, but when the Swarm possesses him, which is very rare, he becomes emotionless, torturing those around him to the point of suicide. He does not speak.
Gender: Male
Appearance: Young, with black fur with intricate white markings all over his body (sound familiar? :3). He wears a black cloak, and goes barefoot. His eye color is magenta. When he uses his powers, his markings glow the same shade of magenta.
Arsenal: Elemental Hood, Elemental Cloak. Uses his Swarm powers to inflict pain or debilitate enemies. Otherwise uses Nightblade.
Bio: A normal Gremlin, he was an introvert, displaying an antisocial personality even at a young age. His parents were very open-minded and understanding, and loved him nonetheless. However, a Swarm epidemic killed everyone in his town, except him and Shion. Devastated by this, he attempted to kill himself, but the Swarm stopped him, infecting him and unwillingly giving him powers to inflict pain, as well as changing his appearance. Once again, he tried to take his own life, but it did not work, as the Swarm stopped him again. He eventually gave up, and roamed the Clockworks, always in search of some kind of happiness or friend.

Deep below the surface. . .
(@Aekuryi: Do you mind if it was the same gremlin town? I ask this to see if I can lower the amount of gremlin towns uhh. . . emptied? by one.
So I ask again, Do you mind if Shion escaped the same town?)
Story shall be edited in soon*
Sat, 03/30/2013 - 22:21

Sure!
That would be alright. However, in the town Akairo is from, everyone died, nothing was destroyed. However, if you like, those towns can be the same.

My app.
Faction: (what side are they on?)
Spiral Order.
Name: (whatever you like)
Nathaniel.
Personality: (are they compassionate, cruel, etc.)
Determined; wants perfection; will complete the mission no matter what; will defy the law for the sake of close friends; is shy around the opposite gender.
Gender: (male or female)
Male.
Human Appearance:
He has straight white hair, his fringe falling just above his emerald-green eyes, and his hair only touching the collar of his white shirt. He has a very lean build, and the structure of his broad shoulders on his pearly white shirt suggests endless amounts of swimming. Along with his white shirt, he will be wearing jet-black jeans, which will only just touch the tongue of his goth black sneakers.
Knight Appearance:
Tall; Green personal color
Arsenal:
Chapeau of the White Rose; Tabard of the White Rose; Dread Venom Striker; Fang of Vog; Wild Hunting Blade
Bio: (optional)
Nathaniel was born ambidextrous, something that had not been seen in Cradle for a long time. He was naturally very talented at utilizing fast weapons, and so developed a certain intimate relationship with the Striker line. As soon as he was 15, he was one of the few chosen to be part of the Rose, granting him a huge honor.
Along with his ambidextrousness, he can also utilize the powers of light and darkness, but not to a 'destroy planet' extent. For example, he could materialize a holy blade from midair, which he could control with his mind. He could also materialize a blade made of darkness from midair, with the exception that it steals souls. With these powers, he has to keep a very delicate balance between the two, or risk being controlled by the forces living inside him.
Also, he can only generate one sword at a time.
Abilities:
Light-
Holy Blade, I summon thee!
Summons a holy blade from midair. Crescents of light will follow the swing of the blade.
Heal!
Heals a bar of health. Long cooldown time, trust me.
Annihilate-
Light slices through metal like butter. Holy Light, that is.
Darkness:
Dark Blade, I summon thee!
Summons a dark blade from midair. Crescents of darkness will follow the swing of the blade.
Teleport!
Teleports a short distance(5 feet or so). Cooldown time is about 1 sec. When he is about to instantaneously transport himself to another location, he will be vulnerable in that short period(0.2 secs)
Steal Soul-
Dark stuff steals souls.
Picture: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm199/AnimeAngel109080/WhiteHairGuy.jpg
He dual-wields, by the way. This means that he does not have a shield. Sacrificing his only form of defense for 2x the amount of offense has never been so cool.

Too much kid icarus!
Arch:
Ready for my mission, I got a running start and jumped out the Overworld's door. I was free falling until Plauntena, the goddess of light, started to make me fly. I stretched and yawned as I had just woken up. "Whats... Whats the mission.... Zzz...". "Arch! Wake up!". "Huh? Oh yeah, what's our mission today?". I never really was a morning person. I took out my lute and played a song. "Your mission is to go to the Cradle and stop any fights the people may have. The streets are covered with criminals and the government is becoming corrupt.". "Well, I guess we can call it... The corrupterment!". "Puns aside we do have a few problems. One, you have a rare disease for angels which requires you to drink blood every 3 days. Just a little bit. If you don't, you will die 4 days after you had to drink. And two, my ability to make you fly will run out in about 30 seconds.". And then I started falling to the ground. I hoped someone would see me falling and catch me somehow.

Mmmmh
(A good example of God magic, executed nicely)
Diyu
After one bit my leg, I was in a bad mood. I pulled out my Super Blasters, and all chaos broke loose. They bit, torn, and clawed me and my clothing, but I shoved my guns right into their gnashing maws, pulling the trigger.
A few long minutes later, I had left most of them splattered to pieces on the ground and trees. I've never seen an attack this well planned. I withdraw my guns onto the clasps on my sleeves, and run towards the gate.
Just as I get there, I find a crowd of monsters reaching and clawing througn the bars in the gate. I stop in shock, and slowly walk back to a tree, climb up into it, and jump when they aren't looking. It's almost sunset now, as I notice while walking to Feron's office. I walk in, and inform him of my encounter. "We can't have them suddenly rebelling, chief. What is the Spiral Order doing that would make the monsters suddenly hate us? They've only attacked us when they are hungry. What's going on."
Feron looks at me, his eyes squinting. "What are you getting at, soldier? There isn't anything the Spiral Order is doing that I know of." He slides a few thousand crowns over, giving me a knowing wink. "Take this as a, say, an inconvenience charge."
"No. I'm going to find out what's going on." I throw the crowns in his face and storm out.

It's go time
Another day...
I traversed up to the upper levels of the Clockworks, trying again to see if I could make one of the Knights my friends. Even though they would probably try to kill me at first glance, and I couldn't let them know I wanted to be their friend, it was worth trying. I looked around the corner of the Clockwork Tunnel, spotting a group. I quietly walked towards them, in an effort to get them to notice me. Unfortunately, the moment they noticed me, their swords were drawn, and they were running towards me.
"Maybe this Gremlin's like their Impostocube or something!", one of them called out. I yelped a little in fear, and started running as fast as I could. However, one of them shot me in the leg, and I fell down, holding my injury. The first one pinned me to the ground, boot on my chest. I was incredibly scared, and started tearing up a little.
"Well, well, well. A Gremlin all the way up here. And with some really strange looks too. Well, might as well kill you and see what drops", he said, smiling as he brought out his Acheron. Before he could stab me with it, I concentrated my energy on him. My markings began to glow a shade of pink, and in seconds, the Knight was on the ground, screaming and writhing around. I slowly step away from him, the other Knights looking at him in shock. The Swarm Infection repairs the wound in my leg, swallowing the bullet whole. I run away before the other Knights can react, to one of the elevators at the end. Pressing the button, I realize that I'm almost at Moorcroft Manor... where a lot of Knights come for missions. Hopefully I can make some friends there, I think as the scenery of the Clockworks rushes by. The elevator grinds to a halt, and I put my foot on the dusty carpet gingerly, the atmosphere of the place sending chills up my spine.

Mao: I woke up in my safe
Mao: I woke up in my safe house that is hidden in moorcroft. My clothing and looks makes knights think that I actually live here. I see a weird gremlin coming up the elevator. I go to greet it, hoping I can decieve it to thinking its my friend. I always wondered what it would be like to experiment on a gremlin. "Welcome to moorcroft manor!'

Erm, Ultima, can you nerf Nathaniel's abilities a bit? If he's that strong, he's probably more powerful than every other character that's joined the RP so far... O.o

Proposal
Sayaka
Thank Vog for lunch breaks. I had just gotten through a raid on the Ironclaw Factory, and i was BEAT. I sipped from a cup of coffee and sighed, smiling at the view of the garden. I absentmindedly ran my fingers through my pet Snipe John's feathers when... Oh god. Him again. A tall boy built like a surfer walked over to me and smirked suggestively. Mark. I hate Mark. "Anybody tell you that you've got a sweet rack?" he sneered.
I had no idea why he would be talking about my weapons' rack, and I truthfully knew no other meaning for the word, so i raised my brow questioningly. "Leave me alone, dude" i sighed. The idiot didn't comply. he should have. Mark grinned and said, "Girl, your breasts are huge!" [So THAT'S what it means] I thought to myself. Jeez, this guy's annoying. Cracking my knuckles, I gently placed John on the ground and growled at Mark. "Are you SURE you want to make me mad?" I said threateningly. My sky blue eyes narrowed in anger, and Mark backed off. "That's what I thought you said..." I hissed under my breath. For the love of Vog, would he EVER stop hitting on me? I sighed and suddenly heard a wonderful tune flow throughout the area. I was always appreciative of music, so I followed the noise until I spotted a beautiful girl- about a year or two younger than me, singing the song with a perfectly pitched soft voice. I was kind of jealous.
I walked up to the girl, and she waved. I grinned, "You're really good at singing; better than a Snipe!" John chirped at me indignantly, and the girl laughed. She seemed like a cool girl; a good person to have as a friend on this chaotic rock. I smiled at the girl and held out my hand. "I'm Sayaka, nice to meet you."

Diyu's Secret
I walk briskly from Feron's office, and out into the road as I receive stares from everyone. I walk to a Stranger. "Hey, can I buy a Striker please?" He gives me a raise of he eyebrow, but we trade. I walk down the path, and see two girls talking in the courtyard. I feel something within me recognize one of the girls, but I wave it off as deja vu. I close my eyes, and run and jump onto the wall, almost instantaneously. I creep along it. Something rings a bell....
I flip backwards off the wall, and land softly. I turn and continue to walk. I dare not go back into the Forest. I put up my hood, and notic some people following me. I walk faster, and they quicken their pace as well. Soon they start running, and I find myself being chased. They laugh at me, and I turn into an alleyway.
The group runs into it and finds a dead end and no Diyu. Idiots. I land behind them, my guns landing in my hands. They are unaware of my presence until I whisper, "Morons, I'm here." They turn around quickly, and withdraw Pulsars. Something isn't right. They all wear a recolored white Magic Set with a black cross on the front, back, and both shoulders, with a mysterious burnt tattoo of a cross on the front of their necks.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" I ask, and they laugh. "That's easy! We're the Witch Hunters" They shoot, and I flip behind them again, only to find shots thumping against my sheild. The shots stop and I look to see the tall leader of the group hold out his hand, and a golden cross lights up in it and shoots at me. It attaches itself to me, and I writhe on the ground from the burning. "I'M NOT A WITCH!" I scream, and I feel the cross suddenly wink out like a candle. I get up as they stare. I take off the half of the mask I wear, and the eye is a glowing white Pentacle on a darkness. It glows as I looknat them. "I'm not a witch. I am me." They stumble away, scared, as I sit down in the alley and curl up, placing my head on my knees. I am just me. Just me.
Such delicious suffering. Oh my son, you will feed me well with your emotions...

Suspicions
The moment my foot touched the ground, a white-haired figure appeared. Startled by his sudden movement, I crouched down quickly, trying to defend myself in case he attacked.
"Welcome to Moorcroft Manor!", he said cheerily. I stood up again, looking him over. He seemed a lot like a Knight, but with clothes I've never seen before. Must be a custom set. He seemed really nice though, so I smiled and nodded. Maybe he can be my friend?
The Infection spoke in my head. bE WaRY Of hIm, cHILD. I SEnsE tHAt hE HaS OTheR mOTIvEs.
I respond back. Alright. I'll try to be careful.
I walked over to him, holding out my hand to try to make friends with him, thinking it was perfectly safe. I wonder what his name is.

App!
Name: Axis
Faction: The Pack
Personality: Cold, cruel, ruthless., sadistic.
Gender: Male
loadout: strike needle, bristling buckler, shockburst brandish, fiery vaporizer mk.II, nightblade.
Armor/Appearnce: Tall, vile red eyes, dusker coat(dusky sideblade), gunslinger hat(Surge round shades, dusky com unit.)
Bio: The pack, the most ruthless gang of mercenaries on Cradle. The Pack has been attributed to dozens of murders of high ranking officials, but the murders were never connected. At the head of this band of villains, is Axis. A cold hearted individual, who was a warrior in the order. He was left to die by the Order, when a black ops mission got compromised, he was forgotten about, he barely escaped the clockworks with his life. He soon began collecting some of the most ruthless individuals on Cradle, you'll find them being either ex-cons or ex-millitary. They'll take on any mission that pays, or disrupts the Spiral Order in anyway.
Proposal:
I stared at the mansion. For someone that had a lot of money, the councilman didn't spend much time improving his security, 3 of my recon agents had already infiltrated the house. Our target was Ensung, a prominent councilman, and veteran of the clockworks. Our boss, had contracted us to kill him, because he was worried about Ensung's good nature and finding out about his black market dealings, not to mention him taking kickbacks. I grinned, my agents were in place. "Smoke him." And like that three rpg's resounded throughout the area, the canisters went flying into the house, and stun mist went everywhere, "NOW!" I shouted. We rushed in donning gas masks. We located the councilman in his living room. What we didn't expect was that he was already armed. " I saw three of my men get taken out by him in the blink of an eye. "Pathetic." I said. I drew my shockburst brandish and approached. He was the first to strike, I parried the strike from his rigadoon with ease, the stun grenades weren't making anything easier for him. I pressed an assault, the councilman eventually faltered, I got him right in the center of his chest. A groan of pain, and he was down. "Let's burn this place to the ground, erase all evidence we were here!" And like that My men and I had set up fiery vaporizers everywhere, we cleared, out and pulled the trigger, you could see the flame from ten miles away. Alarms went up, Enforcers were on their way. "Clear out!" I shouted. I tuned into another frequency with my com unit, news of the fire had already spread, everyone knew what was happening now. "Crap." I muttered We started running, The enforcers wouldn't be able to catch us, but I was worried about others catching notice. "This was so not worth 900k!" Hotaru shouted. "I say we pay our "boss" a visit and ask him why he didn't alert us of the security systems, and enforcer patrols they had over here!" I agreed with the lieutenant, but first we had to focus on getting away from bystanders. "We'll pay him a visit later, we've got more important things to worry about."

@Ultimaknightz
I like the picture of your character. He and Gwen should become acquainted. ;)
Nathaniel is overpowered, but at the same time, his abilities seem critical to his character. So I'm thinking that he should be teleforce-capable, with a specialty in telekinetics (Gwen is a jack-of-all trades). This will allow him to remotely control his sword, boost his physical abilities (read: the equivalent of teleportation), and hold elemental bolts. Since he specializes in telekinetics, he has no force-field or cloaking abilities like Gwen has, but his telekinetics are considerably stronger than hers.
His arsenal should be limited to a pair of Cutters and the Wolver set, because of Kaiju's rules. Do you agree?
Also, if you fail to control him, I will - I like the character you created. :D

one more thing
Oh forgot to mention Axis may not have any supernatural powers, but his contacts in the council and order have a lot of high-tech that are practically on par with abilities.

SARDINE!
Arch:
I kept falling. I saw I was going to land in grass, next to two girls talking. As I braced for crash landing, I fell onto the grass. Hard. I managed to stay conscience for a few seconds before losing it.

Hey... Guess what?
Hey, Gzilla. Guess what. You've got a second in command!
Faction: The Pack
Name: Hotaru Eishiro
Personality: cold and sadistic, willing to do whatever it takes to win. He is prideful and bows to no one but Axis, and even then his leader can't always reel him in in time to prevent unnecessary, useless deaths that will not benefit the mercenaries. His assassination skills are tried and true, and he is a cunning tactician. His battle strategies are brutal and unconventional, causing even some of his colleagues to recoil in fear.
Gender: male
Age: 23
Appearance: tall with slick black hair. A long red scar runs down his arm.
Arsenal: Nightblade, two Shadowtech Alchemer MK II, five Dark Reprisal MK II's that will stick to an enemy, a Shadow Knife (smaller, weaker version of the Nightblade), Dusker set, a Sniper Antigua, and Skelly Shield.
Bio: Although raised to follow the Order unquestioningly, Hotaru ended up the exact opposite of his sister; he witnessed the injustices the Order commited and rebelled against them at the age of 14. Eventually, he joined the Pack when it was nothing but another street gang. Working with Axis, he helped to make the pack the feared organization that it is now. Although he executes missions against any and everything, he is hell bent on destroying the Order once and for all.

What? Pics?! AGAIN?!
It's hard when you see people's pic and become jelly. I am a very competitive person and usually try to lock it up, but my ego gets the better of me. Good. Now that we all understand each other, I give you---> Diyu This is the best pic I've found so far that depicts him. Mark my words, I WILL DRAW HIM! (please don't hurt me XD)

Sardine!
Arch: I felt like I was regaining my head. I slowly opened my eyes to see two women staring down at me. I stood up, dusted some dirt off of my lab coat, and said, "Hi!". I quickly looked around for my sword lute the battle sprite had given me years ago. I saw it smashed in two. "Oh come on! This happens to every single lute I own!". I then remembered the women standing near me. "I don't think we have introduced ourselves. I am Archemiday, the angel of Paluntena!". I said as I held out my hand to them. "and you are?"
Mao:
I accepted his hand. "Follow me, I can heal your wounds.". I said as I brought him to my warehouse. I set him on a spare medical table. "For this procedure, you must be asleep.". I said as I knocked him out with some sleeping gas. I looked at the syringes on the desk. "Where to start? Lasers out of the eye? Shooting rockets out of his hands? Oh, this one!". I reached for a syringe that would give him the ability to turn him into a giant! "Don't worry, this will only be excruciating! Ahahahahaha!". I didn't expect any resistance

Below the surface. . .
Shion sat at the makeshift desk, trying to think of a way to fix her inability to talk, as she usually did.
Looking up slightly, she saw some words etched into the wall.
"The storm isn't the problem, It's the lives at risk" Which was her motto. It was Ironic, seeing as she had never seen the surface before.
Shion looked back down at the ground and saw, a dead knight, whom had been left behind, then back to the mask in her hand, looking back and forth between the mask and writing.
It was time to modify the mask, so it would show the words she meant to say.

A taste of your own medicine :3
The Knight led me over to a warehouse, where he said he could heal my wounds. I shook my head, trying to say I wasn't injured. He ignored me though, and strapped me down on a table.
"For this procedure, you must be asleep", he said, as he soaked a cloth in some chemical. I tried to get away, but the straps around my wrists and legs held me fast. He put the cloth over my face, and I struggled to stay awake, but passed out eventually.
---
When I awoke, my body was wracked with pain. I don't know what he injected in me, but I felt myself fall off the operating table and on to the floor, writhing around and screaming. I could hear him laughing.
"I don't think it worked, but it's fun to see you in pain!" My head was pounding, and I felt like I was on fire. The Infection, enraged by this, took over my body. Ignoring the pain, it stood my body up, raising my palm towards the Knight. My markings started glowing, and I could only watch as the Infection tortured the Knight.
I pleaded with the Mind. Stop it, there's other ways to settle this!
It ignored me as he tortured the white-haired boy, watching him scream like I did. I tried forcing the Infection's Mind out, and eventually, I regained control of my body. Breathing heavily, I ran out of the Warehouse, looking for an elevator before the white-haired Knight caught me again.

My precious hours!
The gremlin got up in pain, and I said "I don't think it worked, but it's fun to see you in pain! Ahahahahahaha!". He then attacked me. "Hey! Ow! Your the experiment here!". I said as he ran away. Now that he had shown some odd power, I wanted to experiment more. "Get back here! I still have more experiments! I will only use one less needle if you get back here now!" I said looking for him.

Le Proposal
Hotaru
I narrowly avoided a shot from an Enforcer's Valiance and growled. "This is SO not worth 900k! You know what? I say we pay the boss a visit and ask him why he didn't inform us about the security systems and enforcer patrols they had over here!" Axis nodded and i saw my other squadmate Sarah crack her knuckles in anger. Axis sighed, "We'll pay him a... Visit later, but right now we've got more important things to worry about" and pointed to a group of Enforcers on hoverbikes closing in on our position.
"Agreed," I muttered and increased my pace.
-------
Sayaka
I was about to strike up a conversation with Gwen when a large dark figure fell on top of me. An "Oomf!" escaped from my mouth as i tried to push the boy off. I frowned and asked Gwen, "Do people normally fall from the sky these days? I've been in the Clockworks for two months and I just got back." Gwen smiled and joked, "Na, as far as I know, people don't come tumbling down THAT often." I shrugged and watched as she started to set the guy's wounds. I pulled a pack of crackers out of my pocket and proceeded to munch on it. Gwen and I knelt over the boy, waiting for him to regain consciousness.
A few minutes later, the boy woke up and flushed furiously, obviously surprised to see two teenage girls hovering over him with concern. He quickly stood up and dusted himself off. I waved at him in greeting. After an awkward moment of silence, he held out his hand, and I noticed he had wings. [Every boy I meet is weird in some sort of way] i thought. He smiled politely at us and said, "I don't think we have introduced ourselves. I am Archemiday, the angel of Palutena! And you are?" I nodded to him formally and replied, "My name's Sayaka Eishiro, but you can call me Saya. All my friends do." Gwen smiled shyly and added, "And I'm Gwen... Hi there." Archemiday bowed dramatically and said, "Pleased to make your acquaintance, ladies." I nodded and went back to my cracker, nibbling on it furiously.
Finally, I asked, "So... Anyone wanna go to Basil's café? It's on me!"

What the he!!?
Shion was fast asleep, face first on the desk. She was startled awake, when she heard somebody running by yelling things like "Come back, I still have more experiments for you!" She watched as a knight ran after a gremlin with. . . Purple? . . . marks? {Interesting. . . I think I'll follow them a bit and see if I can manage to thwack him on the head. After all, Thwack hammers are easy to make and dispose of.} Luckily she had one by her side, and picked it up, while running after the two people.

Getting up
I lay there in a large tree. I cam here shortly after my run-in with the Witch Hunters. I hold my mask in my hand, and blink with boths eyes. My right eye with the pentacle in it I can see through normally. It's simply like a marble in my eye socket. I've had it forever, I've just never thought about it much. It's a sore spot for when I was a child, and people would spit at me, screaming out. "Spawn of the Master' Spawn of the Masterrr." They would taunt. I often came here to think about things. It would always cheer me up. A wooden sign was hanging around the trunk, and scratched into it was Let your troubles go, you're in a Sanctuary.
I've heard stories about the Sanctuary. A place filled with light, and safety. A place people couldn't be judged. I traded my Striker in for a Swift Flourish, since I was unimpressed with it's attacks moves, and the thin blade allowed me to make so much more maneuvers. I swing it aimlessly as I lay there in the tree. And...I can't help but feel sad. I want...a friend. Or someone to LISTEN. But...they won't. I'm too imperfect.
I fly from tree to tree, getting my footing from random branches. I soar over the gate and land, and draw my hood up, keeping my head down. And then, like that, shackles are being tied to my wrists and a gun is pushed to my back. I grin and turn my head back at the rookie Witch Hunter. "TRY IT! TRY IT!" I whisper loudly. Seeing his scared look makes me laugh, and the shackles fall to the ground, melting. "What? What did you expect? That I would oblige to be treated like an ANIMAL!" I scream the last part out, pushing my fingers onto his chest and sending him flying backwards. I walk to the coffee shop, getting sick of these cowards.

And more stuff happens
I can hear the Knight calling after me.
"Come back, I have more experiments for you!" I don't think I want him to be my friend... he's crazy... scary...
My marks are still glowing, with power coursing through my body, so I concentrate more power on him. Suddenly, the sound of a Thwack Hammer hitting the Knight's head resonates throughout the area, knocking him out. I release my power, my markings fading back to white. Off to the side, there's a female Gremlin holding the remains of a Thwack Hammer. Surprised by this sudden action, I fall back down on the ground, looking up at her fearfully. She seemed to be wearing one of those Stranger hats, but... she seemed nice. She extended her hand to help me up, and when the Swarm didn't speak out, I grabbed it, pulling myself up. She seems... oddly familiar. I don't know.
She takes out a piece of paper, and writes, "What is your name?", and hands me a pen and a piece of paper.
I write in response, "Akairo".

Ah.
@Thinslayer
Those abilities link to his personality. For instance, he is extremely caring to well-known friends, but is ruthless against enemies. I don't think that he should have a power similar to that of telepathy(or anything akin to that). You see, teleportation takes a lot of energy. You have to create the portal'n'stuff. Anyhow, here's a more detailed paragraph of his abilities:
Light:
Passive:
Holy Light- Light slices through metal like butter. It can harm souls, but is most effective against dark souls(that of monsters).
Eternal Light- Whenever he wields the holy sword, it lights up the place.
Active:
Heal- Heals a bar of health. Cooldown time is substantial.
Buff:
Holy Sword, I summon thee!- Summons a holy sword, blade pointed at the opponent. He can only summon one sword at a time. Basically, he can control that sword with his mind'n'stuff. There are three things he can do with it:
Wield it. Like a normal sword. Except crescents of light follow it.
Command it to be shot in a straight line.
Darkness:
Passive:
Souls- The power of darkness steals souls. 1% chance to steal a soul. Forever.
Active:
Teleportation- Creates a portal of darkness quickly and surrounds him in it. Maximum distance-5m.
Buff:
Chaos Blade, I summon thee- Summons a sword made of darkness, blade pointed at the opponent. He can only summon one sword at a time. Basically, he can control that sword with his mind'n'stuff. There are three things he can do with it:
Wield it. Like a normal sword. Except crescents of darkness follow it.
Command it to be shot in a straight line.
But there is a catch. Light is slow, but powerful. Darkness is fast, but weak. Also, he is not fast. He moves at an average speed. And as I have said before, he has to keep a very delicate balance between the two powers inside him, or risk being controlled.
Light Sword- http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs14/f/2007/011/4/2/X_Holy_Sword_by_Sakanami.jpg
Chaos Blade- http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/1b/0/AAAADIrpirwAAAAAABsK9w.jpg?v=1...
Oh. And some other edits:
He no longer uses the Cutter line. He dual-wields the holy sword and the chaos blade. Those blades have the same attack speed/power. Also, he does not carry them. He materializes them out of midair, and when the threat is neutralized, he will unsummon them.
Also, he will only start to show his powers near the middle of the story.
Faction: Spiral Order
Name: Gwenyvier
Personality: quiet, caring, protective, motivated, rash
Gender: female
Human Appearance: long, straight silver hair in a ponytail; athletic build; tall height; blue eyes; pale, flawless skin; red scar over left eye; wears a white silk gown out of combat
Knightly Appearance: cyan personal color, delicate eyes, normal height
Arsenal: Angelic Helm & Mail, Drake Scale Shield, Flameberge, Antigua, Sun Shards
Teleforce powers: weak force-field generation (can generate a Guardian Field, Recon Cloak, and the above shield), minor telekinetics, short-range telepathic communication, dark matter destruction (a.k.a. purging), temporary physical enhancement (equivalent of the Striker Boost)
Bio: Gwen is one of the few Isorans gifted with teleforce abilities. She is a second-generation Cradle dweller, being born out of wedlock on Cradle shortly after the crash. She aspires to be a Knight of the Rose, but the stigma of her past continues to haunt her. She is a skilled acrobat, but a terrible swordsman, and longs to be tutored in the art.
Her teleforce powers have caught the attention of the Spiral Order's higher-ups and bio-scientists alike.
She smokes her pipe to relax and focus, and often when she's deep in thought.
Picture
I didn't make this picture, but it represents Gwenyvier almost perfectly. I have interpreted it as Gwen with her (red?) Void scar wielding a Flameberge.
