Fine, all of Axis' gear is 2*. But another thing about energy corruption, it's able to work on all mediums of energy. But the thing is the poisoning doesn't kill until a good 2-3 months later, and it can be cure easily with pure energy, the real threat from it is that it causes pain to anyone that uses the energy or exerts it for abilities.

@Kaijuhunter: I don't care for your proposal, to be honest. See, I created the Crystalizer solely to explain the Core's presence in a convincing way, but I soon discovered that it also made an excellent explanation for Diablo's existence. Remember, in RtC, Diablo absorbs energy to grow stronger, right? That's exactly what the Crystalizer does. It absorbs energy and converts it into crystal energy. The coincidence could not have been sweeter. So I hijacked my own Crystalizer idea and made it the reason for Diablo's energy absorption powers.
But as it only provides pure energy, it can't plausibly give any new powers that aren't already there; it can only enhance them. So it needs a host who already knows the powers displayed in RtC. That formed the basis of my application for Diablo. I initially gave him the same personality (cold, heartless, bloodthirsty, etc.), but I decided mid-way through the process that it would be boring to have such a cliche villain, so I changed it up.
Thus, the current app for Diablo Valentine was created.
The Diablo of your proposal has the same boring personality, and his origin is left unexplained, which kinda goes against the spirit of this RP (It's called Return to Cradle: Origins, after all). If everyone likes it, I don't mind implementing it, but I'd rather sacrifice connectivity to RtC for a much more interesting villain.

@Gzilla: I see what you're
@Gzilla: I see what you're getting at. The core function you want Axis to have is what amounts to a curse on teleforce usage, correct? We don't use energy directly very often. Characters can still use teleforce powers when cursed in this way, but it will hurt them to do so.
Alternately, if you really want it to work on general energy usage, you're basically looking at the teleforce equivalent of an exhaustion attack. It would work by telepathically forcing (maybe teleporting) energy out of the muscles, causing them to be prematurely exhausted. The most descriptive name for this kind of attack is "Energy Dispersion." It differs from "Energy Capture" in that it does not direct the energy wherever the user wants; it merely disperses it at its current location.
How does "Energy Dispersion" sound as a replacement for your "Energy Corruption?"
We could also just call it a "targeted curse," if you like. The effect is the same.

Deal, sounds fitting for Axis, he doesn't usually fight directly with brute strength.

Alrighty then. Axis is accepted with Energy Capture. :)
He will be a challenging opponent. >:D

Kirito came in after that event occurred; that's why he's clueless as to why Xindao was so mortified.

Here's day villan
Name: I cannot come up with a good on. Any suggestions anyone?
Gender: Female
Appearance:Wears Morai combat armour and helmet, heavily customised.
Faction: Morai
Personality: She is cruel and likes to dismember enemies
Main weapon: Large Shuriken Glaive(Otto gets this, but I originally wanted it to be a secret. He only gets it if you accept this, Thin)
Tue, 07/02/2013 - 21:57

Somehow Axis managed to not see Otto struggling with vast amounts if CE? Okay den.

Maybe Axis? I would believe it if it weren't for the glasses. Though if they were goggles...

App!
(NOTE: This character will only show up on rare occasions!)
Name: ????
Gender: Female
Age: ?
Personality: ?
Arsenal: -NONE-
Bio: Unknown
Appearance: Here
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 00:55
#273
App
Name: Seatus
Gender: Male
Race: Snarbolax
Personality: Helpful, wise, fun, chivalrous
Arsenal: Uses thorns (replenishing), and fur of white and red can reflect surroundings, making him invisible somewhat. Teleforce. And don't forget his Snarbolock Wings!
Bio: Third and youngest son of the Snarbolax, Seatus was abandoned as a young cub for being unable to molt into a Snarbolax as fast as his brothers. Thirteen weeks passed from that day. He became a Snarbolax, bearing the same coat as his Father. Through a long journey into the Clockworks, he learned of powerful secrets. In a mystery though, he swore his life to the Core, promising to do it's bidding and to protect the Sanctuaries.
Up to speed, after Seatus was changed into a Great Snarbolock and locked into the Core's Eden(yes Quexi, we had the same theory), he found himself facing the water flowing off the shore of the floating island.
He hesitated not a second once the waters asked for his help. He dove in.
Traveling into the past this time.
He awaits exit from the Continuum, and will be there when death chimes thirteen times.(Thirteen Chimes=Bell Ringing=Alarm=War or attempted invasion)

@Seatus
Welcome back! Only one modification is requested - could you provide the exact extent of his teleforce abilities? You mentioned "teleforce," and I suspect you meant "telekinesis," but I could be wrong.
The teleforce abilities I've seen Seatus use are:
*telekinesis
*telepathy
*teleportation
I have not seen him use these powers outside the Sanctuary:
*clairevoyance
*rapid regeneration
Is this accurate?

Also, Whaaa? Wait a minute. Isn't Gwen already in the meeting room? Damian's OUTSIDE. Unless, of course, Gwen is outside. But I'll have to rewrite my post if she's somehow still outside. :P Also, why does Gwen say Damian is flirting with her? Damian didn't talk to her at all except for the time in the tunnel where he asked her whether he could join her crew for 50,000 crowns. :3

@Ultimaknightz
Time has passed.
She hasn't responded to his request for work.
They have all reached the council building with about 2 minutes to spare.
Gwen decided to use that time to tell Kirito what happened.
She then spotted Damian, who I figured would be looking at her (minor power play)
Since he is so handsome, she interpreted that as flirting.

Can I get you to play as Lord Vanaduke? I'm having a really hard time finding opportunities to interact with your character.
@Nai-Chan: I'm still waiting on your plot twist. Maybe you should start setting it up? I enjoy reading about Nai, so I'd encourage you to post more often. :D
@Dmatter: hang in there, I'm still figuring out what Euclid's overall story should be. Got any ideas? My next post should be about his capture.
@everyone: let me know if you think your character is being ignored or needs help. I still remember Travid's plea for help, and I haven't forgotten it.

@ultima
Would you mind editing your story post? Astraea doesn't wear makeup, and struggles whenever she is forced to wear it for formal occasions. She hates the very thought of artificiality. I'm asking politely; would you please edit your story post?
@Thin; do you have any ideas as to how to include Astraea a bit more?
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 06:56
#284
@Kaijuhunter
Off the top of my head...make it more obvious that she's a queen. Have her command soldiers, send characters (like Travid) on missions, take control of political situations, and stuff like that.
@Travid: I just had a fabulous idea: put your character in Euclid's squad! They really need their fourth member to be named and played, and since only two other players are involved, they will almost have no choice but to interact with you somehow. You don't have to find a story justification for it - just teleport him there and pretend like he was always there.

@Topo
lol, it wasn't a telepathic comm, just a thought. She was hoping to get a reaction out of Kirito. :P

They see you picture huntin they hatin~
@Quexi: ima give you a challenge, try picture hunting for Nai :P
@Travid: lol you got ignored TwT (except for thin but i guess ima tend to it) well they are talking about villains (if i understood well) Axis or Diablo 2 would be the main villain who i think is related to the Valentine family and will later join the Morai -bad guyz- and stuff, also they are talking about the new character apps and possible outcomes of the storeh, and clearing up any confusions too XD so yeah ^^
@Thin: huehue hue patience my friend e.e yes, next post i will put a small forshadowing ^^ but i don't want to rush it too much~ also as i said before, its a plot twist that will be sudden so i try not to put too much forshadowwingg muehehehe also i'm waiting for Nai to know the other charcaters well so that he earns trust, so maybe after an important mission, and i'm keeping it until the first climax of the story (ex: when Axis will betray the Council e.e huehue)

That explains it
I'll send Travid through a portal through space and time. With the wibbley, wobbley, timey, wimey stuff that happens. Travid's new role, to the fourth member of Euclid's squad! I assume my entire bio needs to be changed? Or is he still in the espionage business?
I really will send Travid through a wibbley, wobbley, timey, wimey portal. IT'S DOCTOR WHO TIME!

WHAT A TWIST!
@Travid
Nice doctor who (I've literally watch half of two episodes and I'm pretty sure I'd love it), though can I ask you to change the part about my character? Namely because that 1: I don't have a blast bomb, and 2: He's not exactly one to directly kill people. Just replace it with a freezing vaporizer, K?
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 18:56

@Seatus
I agree; that was a totally unexpected (and awesome!) twist! Gwen's gonna take it pretty hard, though. :'(
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 20:40
#295
What. The. Fudge.
@seatus: wow. What just happened? That was a rather interesting plot twist you added in there. Also, I has a question. Who are the White and Red Queens that Seatus referred to? Perhaps the white queen is Astraea? :3
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 20:53
#296
@Kaijuhunter
If you remember from RtC:
White Queen: Alice/Gwenyvier
Red Queen: Scarlet
I don't mind changing up the lore, though. I could totally see Astraea being the Red Queen. Except that Scarlet was evil in RtC...
Oh, and the original White Queen would have to be Freyja.
Also, your post was well-written and epic. Seerusly, post more! :D
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 20:57
#297
Oh, okay.

Oh, my plot twists are just getting STARTED! Astraea will be SO important.
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 22:05
#299
Whoa...
I suddenly had the most epic idea.
Tell me, what is this game called? Spiral Core? Spiral Valkyries?
So who are the heroes supposed to be? ;)
Wed, 07/03/2013 - 22:19
#300
Supposing...
Big bad gets created. Big heroes fight it, and keep losing to an escalating arms race (like RtC). But in the end, a squad of four knights is all it takes to bring down big bad.
Leader says something awesome.
Recon deathmarks big bad.
Big bad tries to attack heroes, but hits guardian.
Striker flies in behind and deals finishing blow.
I'd imagine it going like this:
Seatus is weary. Gwen is not able to fight, for whatever reason. Astraea is weary. Other heroes are either too weak or defeated. Then four Spiral Knights stride in.
Diablo (giant): "Ha ha ha! Knights!? What are you going to do, poke me to death?"
Euclid (leader): *cracks knuckles* "Eh...nah, I had something different in mind." *grins*
Travid (recon): *deathmark beep*
Diablo: "What the!?...DIE!!" *swings giant sword*
Dmatter (guardian): *raises shield, laughs it off*
Little-Lance (striker): *while Diablo looks at the guardian* "Geronimo!!" *stabs Diablo in the head*
Aye, a Kaiju's gotta rest! I'll work on a response right away.
Also, so many inconsistencies. Diablo is millennia old, this is hundreds of years before Ikaros is born (which means even Astraea isn't even alive yet). As for the Diablo and the Council inconsistency, Diablo formed the Valkyrian Council, the leading body of Valhalla, so it's fine if Gwen made the White Council. Their names are also different. So... I'd like to propose something.
Diavolo Sintaris (the original Diablo) has been imprisoned within his blade, Typhon, for several millennia when he is finally released into the world once more by the immense energy output of the Crystalizer. After having been weakened so much, he had to possess Diablo Valentine and force him to use the Crystalizer's immense power to release him. In exchange, Diablo agreed to grant Valentine "power beyond anything witnessed before" when in reality he intends to forcibly take Valentine's body as an organic host and slowly become powerful enough to exact his revenge. This is because, although his body was completely erased from existence, it is impossible to execrate the actual spirit of such an ancient entity. However, he poses no true threat until he is released. PS: Valentine's agreement to assist Diablo does not stem entirely from his being possessed; his greed and desire to rule the world simply helped to push him to his limit.
Personality difference: Diablo Valentine is a deceitful, concealed, greedy man who lusts for power. Diavolo is nothing short of the culmination of everything evil and wrong in the universe; he is a psychopath with an insatiable bloodlust and hatred.
... What'd ya think? Please don't kill me... I just wanted to propose something that could help make the story a bit more connected to the original RTC.
----
In addition, I'd like to ask something about the heads of Kirito's family. Since apparently he is the one who will help the others escape (perhaps he has the ability to melt into darkness, and therefore isn't captured...) perhaps he could trigger an explosion (you know, Archangel powers n stuff) then said box will burst, scattering the heads of his family over the floor?
