Instead of starting with a story and taking characters, how about we start with the characters and accept stories? Tell us what kind of character you want to play, no matter how overpowered, and we'll all decide what story to tell.

Shall we try it?

What...?

Dude, I think slinging along three RP's might be to much. Four, if you count your Gremlin Chatter one. You will never be able to keep track, lawl.

EDIT: Ok, fine. I want to be.... Vog.

Nah, I'll be fine. This one probably won't get started for a while yet; RtC2 is likely to end before this one starts.

Skylark Down still has a ways to go, tho.

No no...

You don't "call" characters, you "make" them. You know, submit character apps and such. The difference is, there's no story yet. That will be decided later based upon the existing character submissions. Heck, we might not even be playing on Cradle at all!

Uh uh, I wanna be the Core. >:)

The Core is pretty old, but it's not as old as Vog. Cradle was built around the Core, and if King Tinkinzar had anything to do with Cradle's conception, then the Core can't be much older than he is.

Some example characters you could be:
King Tinkinzar (whom I'm commissioning a picture of!)
Warmaster Seerus
Herex, the Whispering Venom
Lord Vanaduke
Snarbolax
Lieutenant Feron
Captain Ozlo
anyone else you wanna be

Example app:
Name: Gwenivere Sintaris Valentine
Identifier: The Core
Classification: humanoid energy being
Powers & Abilities:
-telekinesis
-telepathy
-energy circuits

Example app:
Name: Armero
Rank: Sergeant
Affiliation: Spiral Order
Equipment: Kat Hiss Cowl, Azure Guardian Armor, Stone Tortoise Shield, Military Parrying Blade (hunting knife), Leviathan Blade
Biography: Armero is a hunter of the wilds who curates the Hunter's Lodge, a monster hunting lodge. He instructs knights on how to use the Guild Alchemy Machine with his great knowledge of the topic. However, he only allows the members of the guild in the hall he resides in the authority to use the alchemy machine.

There is no app format. You tell me everything you think I'll need to know about the character.

Identifier was the moniker, the colloquial name, if you will. Nobody calls Gwen "Miss Core", for example.

Name: Konjuring Kat
Race: Mewkat
Affiliation: ???
Age: ???
Powers, Abilities, Traits:
-Levitation
-The Dark Ritual
-Cuteness
Biography: Though there might be an ever present danger in his company you can't help but have warm feelings towards this adorable individual. He is generally accepted in most places due to his seemingly harmless nature, but all keep at least one eye on him when they notice him, for various reasons. There are rumors that he has a dark goal. When asked about such things all he does is smile and mew, for dead men, and even kats, tell no tales.

I'm not familiar with your stuff but i made this character.

The Last of the Aturin Knights

Name: Victoria [REDACTED]
Rank: Aturin Knight(last of that Order)
Brothers of Aturin/ Aturin Knights- Something of a secret society who work within the Spiral Order. Vigilantes, one could say. Armed with special powers and advanced weaponry, some of which do not rely on technology, but magic from an older, forgotten time in Isora’s history
Race: Isoran
Affiliation: Spiral Order
Appearance: Mighty Cobalt Helm(recolored white and grey instead of white and light blue) with a white plume. Azure Guardian Armor(recolored white and grey) with a black scarf instead of a black and red one. A small grey cloak is draped around her right shoulder, with the Brand of Aturin embroidered onto it(a knight chess piece crossed with a flag and sword. Wings come out the sides.)
Gear: Ascended Honor Blade, Aegis, Double Barreled Valiance(a very powerful Isoran shotgun)
Personality/Bio: A very mature young lady. She always seems to have a cool head, but is always troubled by her time fighting on the Ruins of Aturin(a city belonging to the Spiral Order.) The Aturin Knights stayed behind while others left on the Skylark, and fought the Morai, planning to radio Ozlo when they defeated the Morai. They never did, and little did they know the Skylark was shot to pieces. As the Aturin Knights started to lose, they planned to escape the planet. Only Victoria made it, and she plotted a course to Ozlo's tracker. Later, she landed in Ozlo's office, to everyone's surprise, and after being filled in, she began her journey to help restore the Order to its former glory.

Hm...

I don't understand how this works but, I will try with an app...
Name: Lina
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Rank: Traitor
Race: Knight
Affiliation: Beasts
Appearance: Has lime green hair, wears green dresses with black skirts which have a yellow line on them. Has green eyes, her face easily shows how she is feeling, has dark boots with green stripes on.
Gear: 3 Bows which she unlocks overtime: Proto Bow (1*): Shots one arrow and if charged, deals slightly more damage. Standard Bow(3*): Shots one arrow normally and launches 3 arrows if charged. Master Bow (5*): Shots one arrow, then one arrow, then two arrows and then 5 arrows, if charged, all arrows deal armor piercing damage. Proto Bow is brown and given at start. Standard Bow is blue with yellow and white stripes and carved out of 30 3* materials (Can be any 3* material). Master Bow is Green and White with a detail of a snarbolax on it. Carved from 15 sun silver. All deal normal damage.
Personality: Kind, helpful, lonely to knights, often smiles, is friends with beasts and would help them over knights, likes light, doesn't like traitors and has a fear of darkness.
Bio: Lina was a unique knight who liked beasts and often helped them which made the knight's journey much easier, she spent most of her time helping and defending beasts. One time when a few wolvers where in severe condition in a graveyard. Lina when with the party but the party left her behind. Lina caught them back up and got to the wolvers before the party and protected them from the knights attack.
She was left weakened and the knights would have knocked her unconsious until the Snarbolax appeared and made the attacking knights retreat. The Snarbolax took them to his base and recovered them all including Lina. Since then, she helped the beasts since then.

A few ideas:
-the player characters are summoned by Summoner characters, kinda like League of Legends
-Clockwork Renegades

Any other ideas?

It's just that we could use some plot ideas. I'm currently running with a "Summoning" plotline until any better ideas come up.

Could be a Respawn sort of thing, (not like that has been done before [TF2]) that allows the creatures who get summoned to get resummoned after a fixed amount of time with limited Respawns. Of course this could be broken to because a Character would run forth into death to get information for the others :/

Plot Ideas

Spiral Knights: Ascension
The Core is finally open, but what lies inside is not what the knights need-or want. It wasn't a source of energy at the Core, it was a portal. This puzzled the Order, and sent a team through to find out what was on the other side. They never came back. As threats on Cradle become more and more deadly(probably because of some adverse effect of revealing the portal), the Order is forced to evacuate through the portal. They find an alternate dimension where instead of descending to the core, they are starting at the center of this new alien world and must climb to salvation.

So many possibilities! New monsters, gear sets, people, places, history, and more!

I'll leave the rest of the lore to you, Thin.

I can add to Ascension. The portal leads to the realm of Vog, and he is unleashed upon the world. He could claim one of the knights, as his Avatar. errrr. Puppet, thingy.

Ascension should be different from Cradle...I don't want too many already existing things tainting it.

EDIT: Also, I think Vog was the demon that turned the King of Almire into the abomination he is today...
