Story:
-A lone soldier walks into his commanders tent with a salute, his eyes cold and scared as he makes what is sure to be his final report. His knees shaking and his arms wobbling from the sleep he could not keep.
“Sir! We are low on rasions and are getting low on energy and ammunition for the weapons. Alpha squad has yet to be recovered, we have also lost forward recon just ten minutes ago.”
The Soldier stood on his broken soul as if showing it off to the world like a badge of honor he was too scared to take off. Meanwhile his commander just stood looking at the back of the tent. Not a word, no movement matched the soundless decorations of the tent. It was as if the cold world of the void was taking this one threw and threw. With one action, the lifting of his hand the Soldier was dismissed to his post.
Standing up the Commander walked outside and looked up at the fake night sky of the clockworks. His eye seemed lit up with warmth of its beauty, yet his empty eye socket looked right threw it as he spoke to himself.
“So, we failed.”
Looking forwards a war-torn level stood between him and the shadow layer that house the enemy which seemed to want nothing more than to remove the people who now called cradle it’s home.
Knights, as far as the eye could see stood around camps sleeping in shifts with there weapons at the ready scared and afraid of what was to come next. Each man and woman was with more than what they were payed to use. These poor souls….How can I do this, how can we fight an enemy that takes our own and changes them into undying monsters. Turning back to his tent the Commander wrote to his Order.
‘To the Spiral Order, or whomever this pertains to.
We are losing the battle against the creature we have dubbed, Swarm. This creature does not stop, it does not rest, it does not sleep. It seems to feed on us only to make us stand once more and act as to its will. To whoever is willing to let them come down this deep, we will be waiting. I, the Commander of the forward recon, will stay with my fallen troops. The Wardens will stand guard and make sure no one leaves. I am sorry Captain Ozlo. We failed.’
With the passing of that message the shadow-layer was closed down and the Threat locked away. Even to this day the Shadow-Layer remains closed, yet some say passage, small but well hidden, let in and out the old enemy.-
Alright. Well that was fun thinking of an RP idea and title. Note this story is based off the players and changes to the choices you make and or actions you do. It does not help if you run in gun-ho, you will die. No repone, one life to live and if you don’t use your mind before your muscles you will end up dead at the feet of your enemy.
Player vs. Player: is welcome but will be taken care of with respect to a moderator/’s selected. This means you’re posts will be watched and if any power-emoting or ‘god-moding’ is seen you will be warned and thus must fix it. Everyone has a chance to live and die fairly. Should you ignore a warning or keep doing it the battle will be decited off screen in the special post just for this RP.
OOC: Try and keep it slim as possible for we all hate OOC, but is you must keep it in OOC brackets. (( )) Those are OOC brackets.
Moderator/’s: You will be tasked with one side or the other, but I must ask that if you are the ‘enemy’ be fair. Be cunning and fair, I want to see an enemy with heart and soul. The Swarm is not the only force at work here. Also, I will be asking you below, if your name is listed, please say yes or no. I would really love to have you on board. Also, these selections are based off my experience with the people, a little Bias will be installed but not enough to ruin the over all feel I am trying to set.
Players: Your welcome to any class/Race/Class type/Faction that makes since in this RP. So no Undead Spiral Knights, just no.
Factions at work:
-Spiral Order
-Gremlins Order
-Undead Order
-Darkwatch Mercenaries.
-Royal Slimes
Note: I will be allowing other groups should I feel a reason for them to be. But members will need to be taken care of by the player. This does not mean we go off track, should we go off track of the RP, Mod’s will step in to correct this.

Player Apps: Please note, I don’t need a character image unless you want to present one. If you do, most likely it will be looked at more heavily then what you wrote down, so be careful when doing it. Now, I would like Apps to look like this;

Bio:
---------------------
Classes:
Guardian-
-Heavy Guardian: Is strong willed but his guard is stronger. Able to take allot of punishment but not very good at dealing it out.
-Bomber: Gets up close and tends to go boom allot. Thou it should be under Specialist set Bombers are more relable when blowing things up instead of building
-Elemental Defender: Tend to be called in when the normal Armor classes can't handle it. Acting like a wall they suffer from lack of damage out put because of slow nature. But make up for it will heavy defensive power.
-Shadow Defender: Tend to lurk in the shadows and pray on the ill prepared. Thou by nature they like the darkness this class is easily able to slip a knife into its enemy with out anyone being the wise. However they tend to suffer from light and are weaker outside of there beloved shadows.
-Piercing Defender: Being experts at finding a weakness in others armor this class will make quick and rapit attacks to find and expose weakness. Yet in the dark or fighting the Fiends of Cradle they come up short every time.
-Cobalt Knight: An All around good class, they are able to deal out normal damage but also are able to block just the same amount. Facing an enemy a Cobalt Knight tends to fight harder relying on there sword then some advantage in battle.
The Specialist-
-Gunslingers: Long ranged death bringers. Up close they are weaker because of there armor being light letting them move around more freely. But at a distance they can be just as deadly as A Striker up close.
-Striker: Like to be up in some ones face with fast movements and even faster hands. As if to counter there gun carrying opposits Strikers have on Light metal armor and shorter blades offering quicker attacks. But forced to fight ranged, a Striker is no match at all.
-Recon: Tend to sneak around and collect information for the main forces. Thou hard to catch a Recon unit could get into your lines and already told there squad where you are. Thou trained for battle they are more inclined to let the big boys fight while they go for the price kill. Yet in a group brawl Recon are out matched.
-Sniper: A super effective Gunslinger, Snipers are dead in close up battles but at long range they are death's right hand. Armor tends to be nothing because they are the Sharp-shooter who picks off targets according to the most importen kills list.
Non-Battle Classes:
-Bio-Tech: Are able to study Organic enemies and life forms to better enhance understandings as well as give Engineers better information for crafting armor and weapons. Because of there brillance they tend to lack a battle since and thus are no good for fighting. Rather letting the Soldiers take care of it while they study.
-Engineer: The worker of the Army this person is skilled with there hands instead of fighting. Being able to build anything based off designs made by Bio-Tech's plans. On the battle field they can repair weapons and armor as well as work equipment that is not a weapon. Not really able to deffend them selfs in battle they rely on Soldiers to protect them while they work.
