STORY

The Clockworks is now more dangerous than ever. Numerous monsters have evolved and adapted to the Knights, requiring increasingly advanced skills and powerful equipment to defeat. Worse, the Swarm has worked its way up the Clockworks to the highest depths, now posing a threat to all of Cradle if it is not stopped. The Crimson Order has taken advantage of the chaos to launch a massive assault against the Spiral Order, not caring that its own forces are being consumed by the Swarm.

Lieutenant Barrus has been assigned to command the Spiral Marines and oversee the surface defenses. Lieutenant Vaelyn has been assigned to oversee the Core defenses. Lieutenant Feron has been assigned to oversee Clockworks operations. Lieutenant Dezna commands the Recon Rangers in a separate war against the Crimson Order.

You, the player, have been assigned to serve under Lieutenant Feron. If you choose to help out as a researcher or support unit, you will find yourself working to unlock the mysteries of the Core, the Swarm, and that mysterious Artifact Rhendon picked up. You will capture and examine monsters, construct and repair impressive machinery, and help out your fellow knights battling below in any way you can. See the next post for details.

If you choose to fight in the Clockworks, your missions will be incredibly difficult; survival is not guaranteed, or even probable. Every depth gained will be bought with the lives of hundreds, and every depth lost will be sold with the lives of thousands. Gone are the days when you could explore the Clockworks freely.

Welcome to the bloodbath.

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

RULES

*No power-playing.
*No god-moding.
*Combat is mostly freeform, limited by the mechanics described below.

NEW MECHANICS

*Stun disorients and slows a character, making most actions wildly inaccurate and badly timed.
*Fire will scar (or even kill) a character unless the fire is quickly put out.
*Shock is inflicted immediately upon contact between the generating attack and the conducting target, immobilizing the target.
*Freeze encases a character in a shell of ice, preventing any action until it is broken.
*Poison weakens the strength of a character, and eventually causes death if not healed.
*Curse causes mental pain whenever a character touches affected equipment.
*Sleep does just that: puts a character to sleep. It can offset the detrimental effects of poison.
*Defensive gear that displays any resistance to certain damage types and statuses is considered nearly invulnerable to them (tier-dependent).
*Enemies weak to certain weapons can often be defeated in one attack with said weapons.
*Enemies resistant to certain weapons are nearly invulnerable to said weapons.
*Enemies neutral to certain weapons can often be defeated in one combo with said weapons.

Really Thin?

We're giving up on Game of Death? Sorry. Not we're. You're. I'm not ready to let it die. . I'm sorry, but I'm seeing too much RPs die, like the Skylark. Buuuut!

Application!

Name: Carter Husbrough

Age: 16

Combat Identifier: S0387.

Rank: Champion.

Role: Scout? I really want to be a Recon Ranger.

Appearance: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBzHnQJhFnTz3-2BqL... Something like this. No time to modify the link. xD But something like this.

Loadout: Wears the AP spikes from the Recon Rangers. Costume: Dangerous Hound Coat and Grim Mask. Armour: Wyvern Scale Mail, x2 Valiances.

Personaility: A chatterbox, he prefers using his guns to shoot stuff far far away. He's somewhat reckless, sometimes using his Bayonets to go melee style. xD He hopes to join the Recon Rangers.

Biography: You shouldn't care about mah character. (Just kidding. xD)

Real Biography: A normal kid, his father and mother were scouts as well, providing intelligence to the front line soldiers. Carter has trained to be a scout but his dream to be a Recon Ranger has not been extinguished. Fighting the void swarm is personal for him, as his parents, and a friend has all lost their minds to the Swarm. They now spend their time in 'The Happy Knight' mental ward, mumbling, "The eye...... They're everywhere..... THE EYE!"

@Topoyozariane

I really wanted to let the Recon Rangers into this roleplay, but they simply don't fit. They're supposed to be doing all the dangerous missions, but frankly, every mission in the Clockworks is dangerous, and just as difficult as any standard Recon Ranger mission. The Recon Rangers just felt kinda pointless.

So no. No Recon Rangers, even though I really want them just as much as you do.

Also, scouts don't get to carry weapons.

~Biography: Blake Sifter had been mentally trained by his father for years on end. Thinking that this was unfair and stripping away his childhood he began to develop a climaxing resentment for his father. Growing up, his father taught Blake things that he would need in life, Blake remembered then, as they were etched into his brain forever, because his father had the most unorthodox way of teaching Blake his lessons. Once, he locked Blake in an escape pod to teach him how to get out in the event of an emergency. For eight years after he turned 18, he began to recklessly head off into the world. Now, he decided to start to join the fight, for the sheer fact that if you bring up the fact that you were in the army, it tends to make you the most popular in the group.

asking a question-@Thin

Could there be a group of elite, highly skilled knights with special powers that are tasked to eliminate the swarm?(*hint* could they also be called the Rose?)

Thu, 10/10/2013 - 17:41

Thinslayer

@Ultimaknightz

Elite and highly skilled, yes. Special powers, no. Not this time. :/

The Order of the Rose is a permissible organization. :)

@Thin

Cool. :)

I'll be applying to this RP as soon as I can.

Thu, 10/10/2013 - 18:01

Ultimaknightz

on a lesser note

I prepared an extremely long and detailed application I had hoped to use on an RP that allowed special abilities, though that application will do me no good here.(special powers are not allowed)

@Thin

Could I make weapons that suit my character's needs?(Like a version of the Dread Venom Striker that can inflict shock but not poison; or a weapon that does more damage according to the amount of defense and health the enemy has)

Fri, 10/11/2013 - 07:38

Kaijuhunter

Hmm...

Ultima brought up a good point. Since my character is a scout, would it be acceptable for him to have a sniper rifle?

Replies

@Ultimaknightz: Your weapons have to be derivatives of SK weapons. For example, those saber-like swords you always use should either be Acherons, Winmillions, or a Cutter of some sort.

@Kaijuhunter: Same goes for you. If you want a sniper weapon, it'll have to be a blaster, magnus, antigua, or some other kinds of gun with fast-moving shots. That said, scouts are relatively unarmed; use Astran Valderis as an example. If you want the ability to use a weapon, go Recon.

Creeperlucario

Nice, a swarm based RP

Identifier: Lucario "Protector" Nights
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Rank: Vanguard
Role: Guardian
Appearance: Appearance in armor, Appearance without armor.

Loadout: (No costume on) Purring Cap, Radiant Silvermail, Guardian Shield, 2 True Love Lockets, Leviathan Blade, Dark Briar Barrage, Shivermist Buster and Gran Faust
Personality: Smart, Kind, helpful to knights, carry's really injured knights back to safety, when bored, plays the flute to pass the time. Likes using swords and when the situation is perfect, tosses bombs in.
Biography: Lucario has heard of the swarm since she was young and that only strong knights were able to reach the unknown passage. As she was growing up, she joined the Spiral HQ and she then learned how to use bombs in certain situations and mastered using bombs and blocking at the right time. She went on tons of missions but she often carried other people to safety when there was enemies nearby. She often cared to help people and save lives then just finishing them off. The Spiral HQ was impressed with her skill and gave her a Guardian shield and when she was exploring FSC with other Champions, she found a Purring Cap and replaced it with her old one (Cobalt Helm). When they reached Vanaduke, she tried the shield's ability and it gave her allies extra defense. She also placed her allies in a safe spot if they run out of energy even if she took damage. After she made it through FSC, she was given Vanguard rank and she was then asked by Lieutenant Feron for help and she agreed to help them.

((OOC: Thin, is this Bio better or not?))

Ultimaknightz

@Thin

I have an awesome idea for a sword that I've already put in my app.

It's a sword whose power increases whenever it claims another soul.

So technically, could it be allowed? I'll give an explanation on why he has it later on in the story. Also(as a side note), in my app, I left out the bio. That's because I don't want to spoil anything about the Order of the Rose, or how he came to be the leader of the organizaition. It would certainly be better if I could explain it whilst in the story, would it not?

P.S
Application is going to be posted right after this.

Identifier: Jack

Identifier: Jack Strife

~~~

Gender: Male

~~~

Age: 18

~~~

Rank: Vanguard

~~~

Role: Leader of the Blue Rose(A faction within the Rose)

~~~

Appearance

~~~

Loadout-
Costume Helm: Chapeau of the Blue Rose
Costume Armor: Tabard of the Blue Rose
Base Helm: Black Kat Cowl
Base Armor: Vog Cub Coat
Shield: Swiftstrike Buckler
Trinkets: Elite Slash Module, Elite Quick Strike Module
Weapons-
Igneous Blaze Striker(Very Good Chance of causing Strong Fire):
A customized fiery modification of the 5* Striker line whose sharp blade is constantly veiled by intense conflagrations said to have originated from the depths of fire's true provenance. It makes a good campfire starter too, though be sure to keep your marshmallows away from those flames!

Critical Voltage Striker(Very Good Chance of causing Strong Shock):
Equipped with a minuscule fission reactor and electrical transformers increasing its total voltage output is this customized Striker, which can discharge a particularly precarious 2.13 gigawatts of electricity. It should be able to jumpstart a Roarmulus twin, but don't expect it to become friends with you after that.

Accursed Arcane Rose(Modified Gran Faust):
Forged from within the depths of mysteriously unknown whereabouts, this special blade has its immense rupturing power increasing even more whenever it claims another soul.

~~~

Personality: Jack is calm in every situation, and always tries to find a reasonable and logical answer to whatever problem he is facing, partially because of his insecurity. He is very kind at heart, and will help those in need if he can. He usually flashes his good looks, mostly because he is considered to be very physically attractive by many females.(He was voted #1 on the Isoran Poll of 'Knight You Want As A Boyfriend'.) He is hard to anger, though when angry, his attacking capabilities become far more uncontrollable, leading to much more unpredictable attacks. Never does he boast about anything; he feels that this does not need to be done as they can easily perceive how good he is from watching him. His helpfulness far exceeds his loyalty to his missions; he will always help a friend in need when they are in danger. However, he sometimes thinks of them as a nuisance because if they were in trouble, he would have to save them and the mission would stop.

~~~

Combat style:
-Dual Wielding Techniques:
Jack can dual wield, having learned multiple martial arts that have taught the art of dual-wielding. As such, he is able to fluently use multiple types of dual-wielding arts, enabling him a versatile and unpredictable offense that is very nicely coupled with his quick, relentless slashes.

-Weak Point Recognition:
Jack has studied the human anatomy, allowing him to also identify weak points in humans and monsters. He usually aims for these weak spots every time, so that he can end the fight as quickly as possible and move on to the next one. This allows him to be able to paralyze, or kill monsters/people without the aid of status effects(that's if they're at the level of a foot soldier).

-Acrobatic Skill:
Jack is capable of many acrobatic feats that allow him to be able to feint attacks, confuse the opponent through rapid movements, put up an unrelenting offense and get past obstacles.

~~~

Biography: To be revealed! :) Of course, this is because I don't want to spoil anything about the Order of the Rose or how he got there(or if he started it). It would be better overall if I explained it throughout the story.

~~~

Overall Bonuses(take note that these are from the armor he wears, and this does not show how high leveled his normal skills are, as they are simply boosts):
Sword Damage Bonus: Maximum(High + Medium)
Sword Attack Speed Increase: Maximum(Medium+Medium+Medium)
Movement Speed Increase: Low

Kaijuhunter

Derp

Name: Eren Ryko "Zero" (his nickname comes from the fact that zero targets have ever escaped his bullets)
Gender: male
Age: 18
Rank: Champion
Role: recon
Loadout: Equipped with a com unit, night-vision goggles, flare gun, dagger, crossbow, Recon Cloak, and his ASR-50, (Annihilator sniper rifle) a bolt action gun that fires anti-material piercing rounds capable of punching through tanks (they have those nowadays, actually). It's something like a more powerful equivalent to the Callahan, and far more accurate, at that.
Personality: usually a nice person, but he doesn't tend to talk much. During missions, he is cold and calculating, and, as a sniper should, has the ability to lie in wait for several days without food or water, waiting for the perfect opportunity to take out his enemy.
Appearance: he's not really a very noticeable character. He is of average height, with messy black hair. He's also not exactly buff, either. He's got a somewhat handsome face, but definitely isn't a movie star. Nobody notices him, which is exactly why he can get almost anywhere undetected.
Bio: nobody really knows anything about him... (Lol sry, I like mysterious characters, and I was too lazy to make a bio)
Combat Techniques:
Master Marksman~ Eren is a deadly sniper, responsible for the deaths of an average 94 Gremlins every week. He is patient and can wait for days to finally have the right moment to strike. In total, he's only missed his targets 5 times.
Other than his exceptional firing, Eren is a horrible combatant. He specializes in reconnaissance, and as such, doesn't spend time improving other areas.

@Ultimaknightz

Alrighty, time for the mandatory criticisms.

Key:
+ means I like it.
- means I don't like it.
= means I'm modifying it slightly.

+I like your choice of appearance for him. It looks quite appropriate for a Rose character.
-Commanding ranks are unavailable at this time. Barrus is the de-facto leader of the Rose Order.
+Your swords are acceptable, though I would have preferred vanilla weapons.
=The "Accursed Arcane Rose" will henceforth be considered a modified Gran Faust.
+Personality is mostly fine, except...
- ..."attracting women" amounts to a roundabout power-play. It's entirely up to the players whether he attracts them. Erase it.
+Combat style is mostly fine, except...
- ...erase the parts describing their effectiveness, e.g. "can easily bypass normal defense arts." Again, that amounts to a roundabout power-play over our freeform combat. In addition, I recommend replacing words like "ease" with phrases like "are intended to."

I don't like RolePlays very much, as the posts are usually overwhelming, but this one seems interesting.

I might add an app, might not. Will wanna think of a fighting style if so. If I do add an app, you'll find it here. As of now I can think of a guy armed with an Aegis who dual-wields the short swords and keeps the shield on his back.

I don't see something saying if there's a penalty with killing another app. Is that intended?

Edit: I'm probably gonna hit a lot of writer's blocks.

Name: Adam.

Age: 19.

Rank: Champion.

Role: Trooper.

Appearance: Black eyes, medium length black hair, slightly tanned skin, just a little bit above average height. He's a lefty!

Loadout:
Azure Guardian Armor (costume), Radiant Silvermail (actual armor), Grey Feather Cowl. Modified armor to be able to clip shield on and off easily (it can even be "launched" off his back)
A Leviathan Blade, made of a slightly denser metal than standard.
A Valiance. Uses the bayonet when close enough.
An Aegis, makes use of the two swords stuck in the sheaths. When on his back, defensive stats increase dramatically on his back side. It won't break easily. The swords deal as much damage as 3/5 of the Leviathan.
Keeps a deck of cards and a pocket umbrella in his pouch in the armor.

Personality:
Doesn't smile usually, but'll crack a joke when he can. Doesn't actively look for friends. Has a frown that'll scare off recruits.
Isn't afraid of pain too much. He'll face-plant right after waking up to snap him out of the sleepy morning.
Friends do mean a lot to him, but it's not like he'll show it normally. He's one who would stay at a friend's grave, just looking at it.
Walks everywhere, never seems to be in a rush. Stares blankly at most people who try to start a conversation, then look back to what he was doing.
Detests people who become a Recon, so that they may have a lower chance of dying. Complements those who do their job right.
Street smart, not really good with the textbook.
Loves the cold, hates the heat.

Habits: Unknowingly stares at people to observe what they're doing. Stays a few feet away from females, or blocks them out of his sight so he can think about more important things. Pokes people who are too stiff with him, or just something that is strange, just to show he's not too serious.

Combat: Oh boy.
You'll find him messing with all his gear while between skirmishes. Levi's tucked in a sheath on his right hip, Valiance is on his left, his two blades tucked in his Aegis, which is on his back. In battle, he switches out pretty quickly.
He's usually using two things at a time. If he's using two weapons, his back has the shield on it. Valiance and short sword, both short swords, Leviathan and short sword, sword and shield. Stuff like that. He'll also wield his Levi by itself to focus with it.
Runs into battle only when he has small weapons out. If his heavy, or shield is in hand, he'll walk.
When his shield is on his back, will use spinning attacks more frequently, seeing as there is much less risk.
He can use a well-placed kick to stun an enemy. If he has a shield, he'll either shield bash or let go of it and kick it in the enemy's direction, which deals more stun.
Drops on the ground and aims the shield on his back towards the enemy, and then springs it out. Almost always catches them off guard, and deals a large amount of normal damage and stun.
Will still complement the enemy for doing something with skill, and will give them time to respond. :3
Works nicely with a teammate, he can switch his priority in battle quickly, and adapt to most other soldiers.

Biography: Hmm.

Adam was born onto Cradle, like many others at that time. His father was a Chef and his mother was a housewife. He soon had to take introduction courses to each of the Military Roles. Only the Combat Roles interested him. He wasn't afraid. He left his parents, and went to train.

He had had a fascination with creatures with shells. How they could just crawl in, and that was their home. When he went out Tier 3 Expeditions eventually, he saw that the Gremlins had "shells" too. This made him mimic them. Sure, he looked like an idiot, and he got teased for that, but they're all dead now.

Feron was impressed by Adam. His rank grew, and he came to be known as someone who'd come back every expedition. There was only a few people who could do that, and some of them are his close friends. He knows he can't protect them forever, so he instead cherishes the time he has with them.

I think I over-did it.

@Ultima, actually, I'm aiming for a more standard, you could even say mediocre, character. I'm not saying their bland, but rather that they have more of a blank slate. Also, I originally was going to go for a young girl, but decided that very few people had ever submitted apps for characters above the 30+ ish and below the "wise, experienced" age mark.

I want to see where I can go with something like that, hehe :)

@Hexlash
Try going for the young age group.(eg: 16-21) It gives you room for much improvement(because you're young) and lets you create better relationships with people also within that age group.(*wink*wink*Jack*nudge*nudge) You would also be in the peak of your physical condition. The benefits are endless! :D

@Ultimaknightz: Most people are in peak physical condition between the ages of 20 and 35, so Hex's character should still be going strong if she's in her early 30s.

Granseal

I'm In

Name: Silverbolt "Granseal" Volcanon
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Rank: Vanguard
Role: Trooper
Eyes: Red, used to be Brown until the incident at "The Gremlin Factory"
Hair: Brown, but kept short to fit into his costume armor
Body: Slender but agile, stronger than his body type looks. He's a bit of a bean pole.
Load out: Costume: Metal Sonic Armor, Metal Sonic Mask (Cool Glasses accessory)
Armor and weapons: Snarbolax Coat (Increased Elemental Defense Med), Snarbolax Cap (Increased Fire Defense High), Grey Owlite Shield, Leviathan Blade (UV: CTR Low, total CTR: High), Acheron, Argent Peacemaker (UV: Damage Bonus Gremlin Low), Barbarous Thorn Blade.
Trinkets: 5* Sword Damage, 5* Piercing Defense
Battle Sprite: Level 80 Seraphynx, affectionately named Mitula. Heart Attack and Angelic Aura are maxed for skill points and it's Ray has 3 pips in range and damage but only 2 in cool down reduction. Perk equipped: Healthy Boost 4

Personality: He's quite soft spoken and prefers to be left alone. He isn't antisocial per se, he just likes to think in quiet. Incredibly intelligent, he has trouble focusing on things when they are tedious and dull. In combat, he doesn't leave his friends or his squad mates hanging, even to his own detriment. He always has a smile for those he trusts and those he helps, and is grateful to those who help him.

Combat: Preferring to have the advantage in combat, he studies the enemy carefully before attacking. Remaining shielded until an opportunity presents itself before attacking. Once an advantage is obtained, he is relentless and overpowers his opponents. Constructs and undead fall in a hail of Peacemaker gunfire, Gremlins gasp their last under the Acheron's black blade and beasts skewered on the Thorn Blade. When overwhelmed, one spin of the Leviathan and enemies are scattered like ninepins as he takes the chance to regain ground in the battle.

He prefers the sword and board style of fighting, but will let it go when he has the edge, using both hands for greater control with the Acheron and Leviathan Blade. With the Acheron, he assumes the stance and mentality of a samurai, to great effect. He doesn't understand the reports other knights give about their sanity being compromised, dismissing it as superstition.

Biography

Born on Cradle like many others, he lived with his father and mother. His father was a Trooper and his mother was an alchemist, making and testing equipment. So as a youngster he got to mess with weapons and armor, well the ones deemed safe for use by his mother. So as time went on, it was no surprise when they discovered he was going to be a trooper. He clutched the letter in his hand and left home with a hug and a wave.

Under the watchful eyes of Feron, he rose through the ranks rapidly. His survivability and several close calls with the peacemaker were enough to teach him how to properly handle things and earned him a slot in what is now known as "The Gremlin Factory Incident". It began as a normal raid on a Gremlin R&D factory. The fighting was fierce, and Granseal was on the frontline, carrying the Acheron and his shield. Casualties were great on both sides, no quarter was given. Then, Granseal received news while there was a lull in combat that his father had died in the siege of a compound several depths above him. With tears in his eyes, he snapped, fighting like a madman. He cut through Gremlins like butter with the Acheron, his eyes brown but blazing with grief. He took a puppy blast and was staggered, but he kept on, shorting parts and all. When it was over and he returned to his senses, he lay in a medical bay, in an unfamiliar suit. Feron was there and biotechs were milling about and making notes. Feron gave him the rank of Vanguard and explained that he was wearing what they had fought to obtain from that R&D facility, and that his eyes had changed color. His old suit had been damaged beyond repair and this was what they had tried to save him, with great success. They gave him the nickname Granseal, for the Project the suit was named for.

(Hope you like it)

@Playerman: Your app is accepted. His combat style certainly is unique; I hope it plays well. ;)

@Granseal: Your app is accepted! Have fun!

@Creeperlucario: Where to start...

*I vastly prefer human characters. Yours isn't human.
*Lucario isn't about to recreate a bomb all by herself that took Seerus lots of research, development, and two prototypes to build. No. She's either gotta use a real Dark Retribution, or not at all. No fakes or copies.
*Nobody reaches or survives the Unknown Passage on bad fighting skills, whether they have good equipment or not. Erase it.
*The new creatures didn't appear that way. It was a relatively gradual transition that occurred throughout the entire Clockworks, NOT a sudden occurrence originating in the Unknown Passage, as you've suggested.

Basically...rewrite your biography.

Biotech Olivia Greenpeace

Name: Olivia Greenpeace
Gender: female
Age: 24
Rank: Squire
Role: biotech
Appearance: in armor, out of armor, wearing a lab coat
Loadout: Navy Round Helm (Cobalt), Navy Draped Armor (Cobalt), Blaster, E-Class Battle Sprite
Personality: rational, serious, scientific, uptight, uncaring
Biography: Ever since she was old enough to walk, her parents have driven her to succeed. She learned to walk, speak, and read at a very early age, and became proficient in writing, mathematics, and the sciences before she even started high-school. The pressure for excellence was very intense for her, and it took its toll on her. She grew up to be a very motivated, if uncaring, expert scientist, becoming a lead biotech for the Spiral Order only a few days after she graduated college. She was assigned to study the Artifact Rhendon collected; she has a few theories on its purpose, but she can't confirm them without field work, which she is quite unprepared for.

I've seen your app, but it doesn't look finished. I won't grade it until it's finished. :)

Just a bit of clarification on something...

So Thin...

I didn't see the trinkets were allowed bit, may I edit a few in? Also by virtue of the Snarb equips it's implied he survived the Unknown Passage, right?
