Hope I can join

Name: Creep
Appearance: A shadow version of a Vanguard wearing the Divine Set
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Eye color: Black
Skin color: Pitch Black
Height: 3'1
Weight: 1 stone
Attire: Full Infernal Guardian set
Arsenal: Divine Swarm Helm and Divine Swarm Armor
Personality: Creep is usually quiet and can detect when someone is nearby, Prefers to sneak up behind an enemy to finish them off when using shadow cloak, Can also spot traps very far away
Biography: Creep was born in Emberlight and started to learn the hazards the world would bring. His parents died when Creep was 5 and got basically nothing from the funeral. When Creep was 10, he started to explore and when he reached depth 23, the swarm started to pull Creep into a shadow lair and since Creep never had any good weapons, he couldn't stop the swarm to kill him. When the swarm brought him to the unknown passage, the swarm turned Creep into a shadow version of a Knight wearing the Divine set. His age also got scrambled and basically destroyed everything he had. The reason why the swarm never killed Creep was the fact they needed a swarm agent on the surface to slowly corrupt the planet. Unfortunally, when Creep leaves the swarm, he gets Strong Curse which really ruins the majority of his attacks and usually restorts to the shadow cloak to survive. There is now a stalker who is craving for some swarm blood who heard just leave the passage and is now after Creep
Special Powers: Strong Curse, Shadow Cloak

Creeperlucario's app review is in

Name: Creep No go. The name carries a bad connotation.
Appearance: A shadow version of a Vanguard wearing the Divine Set No go. First off, I'm asking for what your character's face and body look like, not what armor he wears. Secondly, Spiral Order ranks are only granted to Knights who are 10+ years old. Also, have him wear a Chaos set, since a "shadow Divine" set is a contradiction.
Gender: Male Check!
Age: Unknown No go. I need to know his age.
Eye color: Black No go. Swarm-infested agents have purple eyes.
Skin color: Pitch Black Check!
Height: 3'1 No go. 10-year-olds are about 5 feet tall.
Weight: 1 stone No go. Use English or metric units, please.
Attire: Full Infernal Guardian set Check!
Arsenal: Divine Swarm Helm and Divine Swarm Armor No go. See the note on "Appearance."
Personality: Creep is usually quiet and can detect when someone is nearby, Prefers to sneak up behind an enemy to finish them off when using shadow cloak, Can also spot traps very far away No go. I've read some of your work, and I'm pretty certain that Creep has more character traits than you've described here. If you'd like to keep his personality secret, or if you haven't decided yet, please say so.
Biography: Creep was born in Emberlight and started to learn the hazards the world would bring. His parents died when Creep was 5 and got basically nothing from the funeral.

Unfortunally, when Creep leaves the swarm, he gets Strong Curse which really ruins the majority of his attacks and usually restorts to the shadow cloak to survive. There is now a stalker who is craving for some swarm blood who heard just leave the passage and is now after Creep No go. I don't understand the biography. Knights aren't born in Emberlight, and if Creep is supposed to be a gremlin, that's not allowed in this roleplay. His home can be in Emberlight, though. Also, the Stalker doesn't eat Swarm, because one can get infected with it that way, and the Stalker isn't insane.
Special Powers: Strong Curse, Shadow Cloak Check!
__________

Yikes, that's a lot of "no go's." Your character's name, appearance, age, eye color, height, weight, arsenal, personality, and biography need to be fixed. Since that's a whole lot to change up, allow me to make a suggestion:

Name: Lucario
Appearance: uncut black hair, gray skin, purple eyes, purple Swarm runes on his face
Gender: male
Age: technically 20, but he has the body of a 10-year-old.
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 90lbs
Attire: black trench coat, black bodysuit, black gloves, black knee-high boots, black gauntlets
Arsenal: Stalker Hood, Stalker Cloak, Darkfang Shield, Void Striker
Personality: adventurous, inquisitive, reclusive, observant
Biography: Lucario was born on the Skylark like any other Knight. The Skylark arrived at Cradle when he was a year old, and he was separated from his parents in the crash. Rogue gremlins found him and took him in as one of their own, raising him in the subtown Emberlight. He soon discovered that he had a knack for moving about unseen; the advantages of such a skill did not go unnoticed by the Ghostmane Stalker legion, and he was inducted into their ranks upon his sixth birthday. One day, during his tenth year of age, he stealthily followed a party of Knights into a Shadow Lair, and disappeared without a trace for ten years. During that time, the Swarm had infected him, but being a Knight, he could not be fully absorbed. Still, he was firmly under the Swarm's control, and was sent to the surface to observe and facilitate the expansion of the Swarm. Upon hearing of the Games, he realized their potential for the Swarm, and voluntarily joined.

How does this look, Creeperlucario?

App?

Name: Axis

Appearance: http://i44.tinypic.com/wikqrq.jpg

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Eye color: Silver

Skin color: tan

Height: 5'11

Weight: 140 lb.

Attire: Denim jacket and jeans, black shirt underneath.

Arsenal: Chaos mantle, Snarbolax coat, biohazard, Ash of Agni, Voltedge

Personality: Very analytical, to the point of seeming detached from any situation he tries to figure out. While he comes off cold at times, he can really care but he doesn't show it often. While most think he only does things for money, he's fairly principled but he takes jobs so he can survive.

Biography: Axis is a pure case of bad luck and tragedy. He was originally born into one of the richest families on Cradle, both his parents heading a major building company. But at age 15 he lost everything to a well planned assassination all masterminded by another prominent family solely to eliminate any competition for contracts. All of the estate and assets were immediately seized, leaving nothing for Axis. At age 17, washed up and hardened from the experience, he found his way into the spiral order, to find his parents killers. But one year later, he found that the order limited his agenda more then furthering it, so he left and found his way into the Cradle underground. Now working as a freelancer, he's taken up a contract to enter the games, the games attract everyone, and with any game there are wagers, with a lot of money on the line he's been sent into the games by a third party that's bet a....considerable amount of money on the games, his only mission is to eliminate other participants that would get in the way and to ensure the players that the third party have bet on survive.

What is the point then? Of sabotage then if everyone can see?

1) Choosing to turn on the light...
2) People falling into trapdoors because it's dark.
3) Thin, help!

They broke the system. What can I say? I didn't know they'd use the straw beds to light up the room. They were supposed to cautiously make their way in the dark. But I don't mind; I love it that people find creative ways around my puzzles. :D

Maybe the Operator should compensate. *hint Topo*

Entrences

Well I don't know whats going on but Seatus Threat seems to have died down for the most part so I might as well sign myself over here. But IDK what qualfies. I might just throw Deadman over here, the Warden from Seatus' Threat but mah thats all depending whats with in my power to put on an app. Don't want to put Skotino on here since he is very well 'corrupted' by Dark matter himself. Mah IDK Thainslayer give me a reasonible in, as in some entrence things for this ya?

Darkwatck

Hmm

Good to know. Well at least your still alive Seatus xD Still, my point behind Skotino will honestly never really be seen unless some one wants that side of him. Mah I could use him, but at the same time I think it would be best to leave Skotino in his hole for right now working on his own ends. Not to say I am done with him but I am very much wanting to do something :/

Creeperlucario

On second thoughts

I really don't mind the way you chose Thin but I just want to run another power and that is why I just "Gave up". If this power works, it will be more fun/challenging for me.

Special Powers: Strong Curse (Only on Lucario when he isn't on a swarm seed or in the unknown pasage), Shadow Cloak (Very little recharge and strong protected barrier) and the ability to talk to the swarm and curse dealing enemies (Can't talk to gremlins anymore because of the swarm corruption and usually relays on help from enemies e.g. Carnavon, Phantom, Void Lumber etc).

#171

Yes

Basically but it is with ALL curse dealing enemies (Carnavon, black kats, phantoms and almirian shadow guards, Margrel and Darkfire Vanaduke)

Hexlash

@Thin

While reading the app you made for Creeper(whom I think owes you a thank you) I remembered that shadow cloak provides a defense boost, so I was thinking how that would work, and have concluded that since the cloak makes light warp around it, and photons are similar to energy, energy is also warped around the user, so that attacks are dampened as it is slightly weakened.

@Gzilla

I just want to point out that Nitscu was invisible and he was not actually in the room with the other Knights, he was outside, back in the lobby with the cells. No one could have known that he was the one who lit the bed, because he was cloaked at the time, and when he set the bed on fire, he didn't launch out a fireball or anything, he caused the area around the bed to heat up, which then caused the bed to combust. So basically no one has seen him yet, except the crowd that's watching the games...

A few notes on invisibility

There are several elements and features involved in invisibility:
*invisibility to sight
*invisibility to sound
*invisibility to smell
*slight defense boost (thx Hexlash)
*weak shield aura (thx again Hexlash)

The base-level shadow cloak acts like a Chromalisk's invisibility; you are still visible, but only just barely. The disturbance in the flow of light is noticeable if you're looking for it.
The next level of the shadow cloak acts like a basic Maskeraith cloak; you are completely invisible to sight, but the cloak will break if you decide to do anything. It offers a slight defense boost while it is active, due to the aura-like nature of the cloak.
The third level of the shadow cloak acts like a Recon cloak (without the deathmark); you are completely invisible to sight, and your cloak is durable enough to withstand a few attacks, but it will still break if you do anything.
The master-level cloaks allow you to be invisible to sight, sound, and smell, and will not break when you perform actions with it. Very few individuals have this level of ability (in other words, you cannot give it to your character without my express permission).

@Hex and @Thin

Thin: Thanks for helping me getting the app, I never thought of it like that.

Hexlash: I have strong self-curse, I can't even attack unless I am in the presence of a swarm seed.

The more I use the cloak, the better I will get with it and make it even stronger :)

@Thinslayer

Depends on where I start or am I going to be forced into a situation where I have not a choice but to advnce to the world of these men. Also my question from before. Would my Warden (Deadman, yes I will give his full name) be aloud or should I stick with Skotino?

Yes I am a bit of a Forum watcher. Sorry for the suddon responce :/

@Darkwatck

I'm a forum watcher too. ^_^

I recommend using whatever character is most appropriate. If Wardens are too busy and professional for games, use Skotino, but otherwise, feel free to use Deadman.

Deadman Walking...

Roger starting now.

Name: #2, Daud "Deadman" Nychta

Gender: Male

Age: Last check, was in his late 20s (Close to 28)

Height: 7' 0" (Going off his Warden armor, with out it he is a short 6' 11")

Weight: 287lbs (With Armor on he pushs 300+ lbs added weight makes it harder for some movement on his part)

Eye color: Purple

Hair color: Ghastly white

Skin color: Mid-tan

Body type: Well toned from training as well as waring the Warden Armor.

Attire: Standered Warden Armor, Color resmibling that of Arkus with Purple being the filling color. Caries a Shortend version of Leviathan Blades. Under shirt, Short lined pants to help hold up the suite and leggings. (Slightly aultered Proto sword, gun and armor/helm. As well as a Flawed Mask of Seerus as to spite the Grimlen Warlard, also a momento from his past into the Grimlen World. Spiral Flak Jacket in place of the Proto armor and or to use with the Flaws Seerus Mask. No Bomb, he believes bombs are dishonorible.)

Personality: Is very front with people he talks to. Tends to play his role and works with others to get the mission done. Has a small nitch to look for a leader of the pack and if need be will some times make the dission to kill some one if they prove to be a danger. Will stick his hand out to help or protect and at times tends to be reckless with abadon if it means others will make it, however will not hesitate to say when something is over his head. Tends to live on to the nickname that has befallen him as most people that walk before him end up Dead-Men.

Biography: Working with Skotino might have been the best part of this Wardens life. When he is not working for his Guild leader 'Deadman' is most times honing his skills and helping out the Spiral Order via missions or helping lower ranked Knights by offering them advice or helping them on missions they get. Since he is a Warden he is aware of all the oaths he has taken as well as his first oath, he belongs to the Order and will die for the Order if need be.His idle was Warden Arkus before the even when Arkus turned and was for ever more one with the Silent Legion. Now mid-ranked in the Warden's Order the 'Deadman' spends his time keeping the Watch in line as well as working to better his skills and make the Order a better place on Cradle.

Bla that took too long to make :L

I'm taking a while to post

I'm taking a while to post because I couldn't think of something to post, and now I can think of something, 2 things in fact. However, I need to know four things before I choose, and their all visual. Are the lumbers clumped together, or are they evenly spaced out? and are their tons of them covering the whole floor, or are they at most covering a third of the floor? Also, about how far can I jump, and are a lumbers proportions equal to in game?

Finally, sorry for finding unexpected ways of doing things. It's kinda hard for me not to think that way after 2 professor Layton games. XD

@Dmatter

The lumbers are packed together, there are tons of them, you can jump the distance between two subsequent ropes (maybe a a little farther), and lumbers are twice as tall as knights.

@thin Thanks, but I realized two things preventing me from doing my plan: The door is on the ground, and the lumbers are now swarm (Props to anyone who figures out what my plan was). So, even though that was what I wanted to hear to do my original plan, I'll do my other plan.

Creeperlucario

Side note about my cloak

My cloak also suffers from the strong self-curse but it is only the 2* version and 3* version (2* being maskeraith's cloak skill and 3* being a recon without the mark). The 1* version and 5* version (1* being Chromalisk's invisibility and 5* being the master Invisibility) aren't inflicted by the strong self-curse. The basic cloak was my 1 of me only natural skills that wasn't corrupted by the swarm and the master cloak is immune to curse altogether. So basically the cloak becomes worse without a swarm seed nearby until the master version (Which is unlikely).
