Now Actively Casting Roles for the Near Future

Active casting for my FanComic Embrace the Dark has reopened and will remain so until all open slots have been filled, I will be reviewing both new and past submissions and will make a point to comment on notable character suggestions.

------------------------------------------------------------

There's a mountain of text here about what I'm looking for (and what I'm not looking for) so I have marked the most crucial parts with *IMPORTANT* that you should read at least before you suggest a character, though considering everything will likely increase the chances of your character making it in.

ATTENTION to those submitting actual game characters or characters used in previous FanFics

I've marked certain sections and points with a ==!== as they may affect the existing concept of the character you already have, you should address these sections for your character.

==================
Things to Keep in Mind *IMPORTANT*
==================

Not Everyone Gets to be a Star

I make no promises to anyone for their character making it in, you might spend an hour describing your dream character and they may only end up with a minor role, or not even appear at all. I won't say any character suggestion is bad, but I may not be able to find any way to include them into the plot regardless of how much work or thought you put into them. That said characters with more thought and description will have greater consideration then those with less effort put into them.

The character selection here is going to be far more rigorous then most FanFics because I can't bring a character into been by simply saying "so-and-so walked into the room", I actually have to model, texture, and animate all characters and any specialized gear/props that may go with them, not that I discourage lots of submissions, in fact suggesting multiple characters would be a good idea if you want an idea of yours to make it in.

Creative Leeway ==!==

Unless specified by the submitter, I reserve the right to borrow, change, and/or omit parts and aspects of characters as I see necessary to use them, this may include changing names or combining parts from multiple peoples suggestions into a single character, if there is an important element to your characters appearance, personality, and/or history that you believe is integral to them please tell me, otherwise everything else is subject to change at my discretion.

Think Outside the Box

For those who follow my Spiral Spy works you should know that what I can make in terms of gear, armor, and props is not limited to what you see in-game, it is perfectly okay to suggest customized gear and weapons for your character but keep in mind that there is a limit to what I can do and how much I'm willing to do for a single character, so if you say something like "I want my character to have a full mechanized battle suit" chances are I will toss your idea out the window.

I have an ongoing showcase of what I can do with character and gear design that you can view to see what is possible in my other thread SPIRAL SPY SCENES.

View it here, do further down to see more

Things I CAN'T do (at the moment):

  • Bow and Arrows (I've tried)
  • Two-handed melee weapons (working on finding a way)
  • Whips, robotic tentacles, or anything that needs a lot of fluid, uniform movement (Too hard to animate)

==================
Differences Between the Story and real Game Play
==================

Specialized Squad Roles

Squads can be larger then four people, and will often include characters with specialized roles such as squad leader, heavy weapons expert, medic, etc. Keep this in mind for your suggestions.

I'd also like to mention that, although there may be room for loner types, a majority of the knights will work in squads (whether the group will stay together is another matter) at least initially, if your main character has friends/squad mates you would like to see it would probably be a good idea to give a description of them too at some point as I am also looking for supporting characters as well.

Realistic Weapon Carrying

In my prologue story you may have noticed that characters often have their larger weapons slung over their back when not in use, I plan to carry on with this so knights will be limited to carrying 2 "large" weapons at most, I will assume smaller handguns and swords are holstered or sheathed.

Your Shield Actually 'Blocks'

Shields do not form a protective bubble around characters, they will act like real shields and actually take and (hopefully) absorb blows.

Bomb Toss

Bombs do not discriminate between friend or foe in this tale, as such they will often be tossed like grenades or remotely detonated from a safe distance.

No Instant Health Pills or Revives

That would kind of kill the drama.

==================
Character Requirements *IMPORTANT*
==================

I'm going to keep the required elements for a submission here minimal and leave it up to people to embellish their ideas further:

Name:

Obvious.

Gender:

Also obvious.

Personality:

What outlook does your knight take? Optimist, pessimist, etc? Are they friendly, mean, shy, charismatic, etc. What are their mannerisms like, are they the type that says "is not", "isn't", or "ain't"? How do they react under pressure? etc...

Wow that was short. Though chances are pretty slim for your submission if this is all you give.

==================
Optional Information
==================

Here are some optional information categories you can give, its not limited to these and you don't have to fill them all (hence optional), if you do not fill out a category I will assume you are okay with whatever I put in.

Appearance/Armor:

If you want you can leave it up to me to decide what a character should look like, otherwise you can specify the appearance of your character, keep in mind armor is not limited to what is in game but keep it reasonable and based off of something that does exist. It is also possible to make knights taller or shorter then usual but I will not be taking to the extreme either way.

Weapons:

Same as Appearance/Armor, but I'm willing to stretch the range of possibilities more here, keep in mind that I'm going to try and be realistic about what Knights can carry in terms of weight so you won't see anyone running around with 4 Troika like swords.

History/Background: ==!==

If your knight has past experiences, relations, or other forms of personal baggage you think I should include or be aware of mention them here, be careful of saying something that would force me to go off on a personal issue tangent from the main story like "he's searching for his lost father" and such similar past issues that people may expect me to address somewhere in the course of the story.

A lack of experience can also be a feature of your character, perhaps they are a trainee who finds him/herself thrown into a situation they are not ready for.

Relations: ==!==

Does your character have any important relations? Are they in a squad, know of, or are related to another character you or someone else has suggested? How important is it to your character that I include this relation?

'Twist' Degree: ==!==

How far will you allow me to make surprise revelations or changes to your character? Such as it turns out your character is actually a lumber disguised as a knight (not going to happen) or your character is revealed to be a homicidal snipe killer (also not going to happen), tell me how much you want your character to stay as 'your character'.

If your character has friends/squad mates/pets who you hope to play supporting roles you can also tell me how you want me to treat them as well in terms of this.

Pets/Sidekicks:

You can suggest a pet/sidekick for your character, but don't expect everyone to have a snipe/wolver/mechaknight/mewcat/whatever in tow behind them, if there are pets it will be limited to very few characters having them.

Expendability: *IMPORTANT* ==!==

How okay are you with your character been killed off? Do you want them to survive in the end? If you like to reuse your characters in other Fan-Fic works you may not want them to die (or this could be a perfect opportunity to have them die :D) in the course of this story. Saying nothing here will be taken as that you are okay with whatever I to your character.

I will listen to you if you want your character to live but DO NOT ask for me to make sure your character dies, and certainly don't tell me what kind of dramatic death sequence you want, knowing a character is destined to bite the dust will kill the tension around them when things go south, if you do want a specific death mail it to me personally in game and I will consider it (I won't promise I will carry it out) as not to give it away here.

Make note that asking for your character to definitely survive will reduce their appeal to me as I don't like having a 'Saturday Morning Cartoon Hero' type who everyone knows is going to live no matter how bad things get, I would really like there to always be the potential for death for the main characters in this story.

If your character has friends/squad mates/pets who you hope to play supporting roles you can also tell me how you want me to treat them as well in terms of expendability.

------------------------------

Here's a template you can use for your character, you don't have to use it as these are only guidelines:

Name:
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance/Armor:
Weapons:
History/Background:
Relations:
'Twist' Degree:
Pets/Sidekicks:
Expendability:

==================
Iffy/Unlikely Submissions
==================

Non-Knight Characters

I won't say that I won't accept any characters from other races besides knights, however it is a long shot that they will make it into the story.

Villains (UPDATED)

It is the antagonists, not the heroes, who drive a story, without them there would be no tale as it is what they do that the protagonist has to respond to, I have the important villains already planned out and adding anymore would mean rethinking the overall plot, it is possible that suggested minor henchmen types could be accepted but the chances for a villain who would have an impact on the plot is less then 1%.

UPDATE: I've reconsidered parts of the plot and there is the possibility for a small (5 or less, certainly not more then) number of antagonist knight characters, I will put further details of what I may be looking for when I decide whether to include them or not.

==================
How to Get Your Suggestion Rejected *IMPORTANT*
==================

Mentioning the words "magic" or "superpower"

This is SK not WoW, if you want your character to throw fireballs give him a flamethrower, not have him spew them from his hands.

Wall of Text/Disorganized suggestions

You may have the best idea for a character who would be perfect for a starring role here, but if you submit it as a wall of 20 lines of unbroken text I won't even bother to read it, incomprehensible grammar will also turn me off so make sure your submission is put in a way that doesn't make peoples eyes hurt when they look at them.

==================
How Long will Casting Go for? What About Revisions?
==================

I don't plan to close casting for a while, possibly never, however the sooner you submit your idea the better the chances of them landing a major role, if you submit an idea late ('late' has yet to be defined) they might just end up as cannon fodder or as that guy in the background doing something.

You are welcome to submit as many characters as you want, and make changes to them until/if they show up in the story, I suspect many people will be revising their characters after the first few chapters are put out when they get a better idea of what I'm looking for.

If you do revise a character make sure you inform me of the changes you have made.

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
NEEDED/FILLED ROLES *IMPORTANT*
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

To help with the casting process I've devised a chart to keep track of what I'm roughly looking for by showing what sort of characters I need for each chapter when they are introduced, check this to see if your character made it in or if you can think of a character to fill a hole. For some roles I have a kind of character in mind that I want, at which point I will describe what I'm looking for.

Types of characters

Main Character: Lead roles that the story will revolve around, they will see the most character development and drama

Supporting Character: A character who is closely involved with a main character but does not have the story focus on them, like a best friend for example, likely to follow where the main character goes and follow their actions, possible chance of been turned into a main character depending on direction of story

Minor Character: Used to fill out necessary roles to make the story work such as extra squad mates, nonetheless important though and could have their own sub-stories and dramatic scenes, possible chance of becoming a supporting character. More vulnerable to sudden/shock deaths (refer to Torozae from the prologue :P)

Generic Character: Sometimes I will just fill a role with an unimportant knight I make who may not even be given a name, they will often end up been cannon fodder or background characters.

Sure, Why not.

I'll throw my hat into this ring. Although it's not a knight character, he would be incredibly easy to animate I'd imagine.

Name: Gizmo

Gender: Male

Species: Shock Devilite

Personality: Dorky, shy

Appearance: Blue glasses with a green body, without the bow tie.

Weapons: A smaller version of the devilite overtimer axe, not the pitchfork.

Bio: This devilite regrets his career as a mischief maker, and escaped from the underworlds workforce. He decided that the only way he would be safe from vengeful co-workers is by joining the Knights in Haven by providing them knowledge and support. He has considerable and questionable knowledge of Cradle and the Clockworks, sometimes he knows a little TOO much about certain things. Gizmo is very smart, and can sometimes drone on and on until someone shuts him up. While he may seem fragile, he IS a devilite and his combat skills are quite good for something so small. Gizmo claims to have slain fearsome beasts with his electric axe, but nobody really believes these claims. While Gizmo is shy around most, he seems to have some sort of passion for combat, for those who have actually seen him fight have had to pull him off of the enemy. One thing to note is that Gizmo is quite the klutz, which can endanger himself and others if they aren't careful. And while he claims to know EVERYTHING about Cradle, there are some things that he admits that he doesn't, or doesn't want to know.

Relations: None, but he tries to make friends with anyone he's paired with.

Pets/sidekicks: Gizmo has a very small dud-bomb that looks like it was pulled from a bomb bandolier. He talks to this whenever he gets lonely or feels like nobody is listening to him, it doesn't talk back so it just creeps others out.

Expandability: Nothing that I can think of, I would prefer him left alive but if you wish to remove him and send him back to HQ until further notice or something that would work.

Twist limit: Maybe the bomb could have a spirit trapped in it at some point, and actually start talking? Maybe a wise-cracking advise giver?

That's about all I thought of off the top of my head.

Got a question...

Would custom made armour and weps(Using Attatchments) be allowed?

Mon, 02/06/2012 - 01:01 #103

Another one.

Name, Helmler

Team status, none.

Story: During the skylark crash Hemler and others got separated from the others. Thrust into a world of uncertainty and chaos he quickly became used to surviving in the clockworks and fought all his attackers viciously, this included some knights. One day he met another who was separated and they worked together for months, hunting down others and once they found another, they each swore to themselves they would protect each other at all costs. And try and find their way out of here. (Third squad?)

Personality: Quiet, but strong, he has no hesitation to do anything, but has respect for the Wolvers. Quite another thing for Gremlins.

Pets: None, but has respect among the Wolvers.

Equipment: Daring Rigadoon, hunting blade, (brown) plate mail, (green) BlizzBreaker helm (light brown) Wyvern scale shield

Twist degree, 5 (he's already too complicated to change)

P.S. What about Rike? (I think Rike would be good as a backup if someone dies.

Azure-Orbit
Sounds good :)

I accept all the changes. I would also prefer the Leviathan blade for his main weapon. Sorry for any of the paradoxes I created with my character info :P I was kind of sleepy when I made it, but I did have some creative juices flowing.

Thanks for picking my character as one of the main actors in your story, if you would like I can edit the stuff you wanted me to in the original app, just say the word :)

@Happy: My bad, totally

@Happy:

My bad, totally missed that post! Thanks for bringin' it to my attention, on the 3rd page now I'd never have noticed that by change D:
Anyhoo; basically I'm ok with the changes, most of the stuff you want changed is just down to the gear, and that was really just fillers; the character I had in mind was more down to the personality and attitude, and relation to the girl; the armours/weapons etc wasn't vital to the character, I just filled it with what I use on my main.

1. Robida will not be in the squad, if I use him it would work better if she were someone who stayed in Haven doing a civilian role instead, you could also describe what you think she would look/be like and suggest what kind of work she would do
Sounds fine; I was just creating the character by drawing from life experiences and me and my girl get our kicks playin' games together; when you mentioned pets/sidekicks I thought it'd be a nice wee version of that; but havin' someone in Haven to go back to can easily be a driving force behind the character.
I mentioned already her personality in some brief detail; for looks she keeps things basic, she's not a fancy-dresser. Her main in SK I think is...the Seraphic Helm and one of the Proto armours iirc, nice and plain, totally alleviates any expectations!

2. Take the "Will laugh a lot and appear to never take things seriously on an aesthetic level, but always does, he just doesn't show it" part of his character, I think stoic would be good enough. He has to be the kind of guy who'd be willing to take orders from a monster and be able to live with himself after
Absolutely fine.

3. I need liberty on his weapons and especially his appearance as the one you gave would completely be out of place with the squad I want to put him in, I actually have a custom helm and possibly armor in mind and want to create a more proper 'military' kind of appearance rather then a wolver type character for this role, I will warn you that the image I have in mind will look nothing like you suggested.
The image is utterly up to you; I just suggested that as it's my mains current fashion armour; I just think it looks rad 'cuz it has the sort of inhuman appearance, almost monster; but for the sakes of a "monster" leader and strict military outfittings, it would certainly make more sense to go your route.

For his weapons I would like to replace the pepperbox with a custom autogun-like weapon and change the swiftstrike shield for something a bit more 'solid' looking, I also would like to use a less showy sword then a troika type one.
Custom? Like your own edited version within SpiralSpy? Could be cool, am fine with that one either way; the autogun line as a whole is my favourite gun, but specifics beyond that aren't a bother! If the sword is being replaced then there's almost no need to keep the swifty anymore, so they can both match up nice enough; the swifty's mainly there to accomodate the sword's slow rate. If you're wantin' me to suggest sword/shields just let me know, but I'm fine with you pickin'.

If you are okay with these changes I will confirm his place in this role, otherwise I will reopen the role for another character.
Aye, sounds cool; glad to get a wee spot in that comic; looked fantastic, am lookin' forward to the next ones comin' out :)

Casting Update

@Atrumvindex

Yes, very much so

@Windsickle

I'm keeping your character suggestions in the back of my mind to possibly use later.

Main and Supporting Role - Confirmed

@Azure-Orbit and Darkbrady

Confirmed both their roles, they will definitely appear.

Squad 1 Communications (Supporting Role) - Confirmed

@Frostrex

I put your character in as I needed a sort of 'newbie' recruit type character for squad 1, your character fit the bill quite well, only difference is that I will have the cobalt helm open instead of closed.

Squad 1 Bomber (Supporting Role) - Confirmed

@Fruits and Urrick

I have a bit of a conflict here as there were pieces from your two characters that I like to use in a single bomber character.

I like Fruit's character's personality and appearance:

"Personality: group clown, good guy, realist who practices safety first but dislikes superstition"

"Appearance/Armor: Demo suit, groundbreaker helm (not that important; can be left to your design)"

While I like Urrick's character's weapon suggestions, background, and "Twist":

"Weapons: Nitronome, Shivermist Buster, a modified Callahan that shoots explosive rounds which he refers to by the name "Kong" and a Leviathan Blade. He is rumored to carry a prototype bomb during every mission he embarks on for experimental purposes."

Though I may switch out the modified Callahan for some other sort of custom launcher similar to the grenade launcher I made earlier. When it comes to bombs a bomber character could actually carry a multitude of various kinds as they are not limited to a specific kind like in-game, just how many they can carry.

Background/History: Coming from a long line of demo knights who have proudly served a dangerous position, Urrick is quite handy when it comes to arming (and disarming) explosives of all kinds. His current line of work is that of a researcher, making new types of bombs to test on the various enemies and objects within the Clockworks. He is also said to be a decent swordsman and an excellent squad member, due to his personality.

"Twist" Degree: Urrick would never turn his back on his fellow knights... But he is cautious around infamous knights.

While that last bit is more of a personality trait it is something I can work with.

For relations I'm not sure about either, likely just a friendly guy who everyone likes. As for pets/sidekicks I think it's unlikely he will have any. Expendability is still up in the air.

The character I see here will serve as an able trustworthy type both in and out of combat, I also see him playing a comedy relief role in the story too. If I use this character I will credit you both for him.

Problem is I don't know what to name him, do either of you have a problem with me using the others character name instead of yours, or have an alternative name suggestion you both agree on?

@Atgatg

Role casting is likely to stay open for a while so every character has a chance of getting in still, that said a character who harbors a secret hatred for her own kind doesn't really have any place here as far as I've planned, you may want to try suggesting another character cause your first one is unlikely to find a spot.

Another App

After realizing the Jed isn't going to work, I thought of another one that might work.

Name: Augustus
Gender: Male
Personality: Extraordinarily calm. Usually talks as if he's lecturing someone. He frequently recites what he wants to, such as stories, quotes, and songs. He treats explorations as adventures, as tries to encourage those who lose hope. He absolutely loves the quote "All the world's a stage," and sometimes treats it as so, naming events as if they were events in a play (I.E: this is the part where we are victorious, this is the part where we destroy the odds, and, in extreme cases, this is the part where we die. )
Appearance/Armor: http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh488/ManicSunrise/Augustus-1.png
Weapons: Final Fourish, Argent Peacemaker
History/Background:Augustus was once a researcher for the spiraliens. It was through this that he discovered and absorbed classic pieces of literature that he found. After the crash, he saw this as an opportunity for adventure, and keeps exploring the clockworks nonstop. It should be noted that he is always carrying a book in his vitopod carrier, which he might occasionally pull it out if there is downtime.
Relations:None
'Twist' Degree: He's pretty open-ended. You can try what you want.
Pets/Sidekicks: The closest thing is probably the book that he is always carrying around. (Don Quioxte)
Expendability:pretty expendable.
Role: You can make him a minor character.

Is that a Custom Made Badge or Something out of the Game Files? If it isn't Custom Made, I think it's against the Forum Rules to show any Unreleased Stuff.

Aemicus
I would like to apply for the

I would like to apply for the role in the second chapter of the squad 3 leader, or one of the supporting characters.

Name: Aemicus

Gender: Male

Personality: I'm a pretty easy going guy, I'm not too bloodthirsty, but anyone beating up on noobs or being a jackass in general gets me riled up, and once I get angry, every pent up feeling is let out. You do not want to be in my way. I use perfect grammar and pretty much don't swear. Ever. I'm just a polite guy who protects the little guys.

Appearance/Armor: I have all the Wolver line armors, I'm pretty much a swordy all the way. As a costume, though, I wear a Skelly Suit with the Proto Crest and Military Dragon wings, and for my helmet I like a toxic bombhead. I use either a swiftstrike shield (I prefer to dodge) or a BTS.

Weapons: I realy love my Voltedge, I would prefer if you kept that in if I get the part. I also like my final flourish, acheron, and leviathan blade. A dagger would be nice too... maybe with a hilt in the shape of a dragon head. Causes fire.

Fighting style: I like to dodge around and get quick slashes off, but if I see one of my squadmates in trouble, I will bull into a massive crowd to free them. I'm sensing a martyr story...

History/Background: I used to be one of the NonComs on the skylark, but when it crashed, I was quickly promoted. I didn't interact much with my peers, preferring to spend my team going over techniques with some of the new recruits.

Relations: I like to be social, but can draw into myself for a few days if something happens to my group. So most people are okay with me around, but some can be wary of my sudden outbursts and withdrawals.

'Twist' Degree: I could kill one of my own squadmates if I felt like they were jeopardizing the community feeling of my squad.

Pets/Sidekicks: I generally am towing one or two noobies who I show the ropes.

Expendability: Kill him off whenever you feel like it, it's your story. I would prefer an epic death, though. Maybe saving one of my squad members.

IMPORTANT:
1. I would prefer never to use a slow sword. I find the unwieldy and awkward.
2. I'm not a tank. At all.
3. Bombs just aren't for me. Too much of a chance that I'll injure one of my own people.
4. I'm not a "lead from behind" kind of guy.
5. I can be sneaky, very sneaky, which leads to some people not being comfortable around me.

@HappyApathy

I don't mind any future changes you make, just as long I know that i was able to contribute. I'm tentative about the name, but i will reply when fruits does so we can agree on something

(EDIT) didn't realize the amount thing up there...

I will say that he does carry quite a few bombs on him at all times. About 6 or 8 at most. (12 would be stretching it) If you think the amount should be less, let me know.

I haven't said anything about anyone's character not been in (that said I won't say I will use everyone's suggestion), more roles will be cast later as the story progresses, a character suggested here may not get a role for months while I make this.

@ Happyapathy

Do you know where your story will be going? I've been watching Alien and Aliens recently, and it seems like your story could go for a similar plot. This way, you can keep rotating characters so everyone could get the chance to see their characters in your story. If you already know the storyline/plot, disregard this post, as I support your work 100%.

@Urrick and happy

Not a problem!
I'm pretty much exactly on Urrick's stance about my character.
The name was largely inspired from an old character on an old german tv show and the former's monicker in english was "halfway between drunk and sober". You may substitute any part of it as per your creative designs.
Heck, even if nothing but the appearance or personality makes your cut, that's perfectly fine.

Encross
Name: Metrosexual

Name: Metrosexual Hipster
Gender: Metrosexual (M)
Personality: Metrosexual + Hipster. He has a hard shell of apathy, and lets only few know who he really is: a brave team player who understands that close relationships are important but cannot let him deviate from his mission (see below). Also, he's very blunt -- if he has a problem with a knight, or doesn't like the way they operate, he's not shy about it. This is a double-edged sword.
Appearance/Armor: http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/0/03/Metrosexualhipster.png
Weapons: Big Angry Bomb, RSS, Venom Veiler.
History/Background: Born from a Vog FSCer and a Skolver LDer, the hipster seeks more than just succeeding. He succeeds...with flair, style, and originality. Timeliness and speed are of no importance to him.
Relations: In general, Ambivalent towards most knights, but enjoys keeping a few close friends. Looks down on mainstream.
'Twist' Degree: He's not afraid to take one for the team, and he expects the same from his teammates. If there's a horde of oncoming zombies that threatens the success of the mission and a single teammate is still within his blast radius, he WILL detonate it. If he's the one in the blast radius, he WILL detonate it.
Pets/Sidekicks: None of note.
Expendability: Up to you.
Catchphrase: Damn it feels good to be a hipster.

Casting Update

@Fruits

I'm leaning towards using the name Urrick if that is okay with you?

---------------

At this point chapter 1 is a go, keep in mind that many roles will open up in the future so character submissions may still make it in.

Another Character.

Name: Duster

Gender: Male

Age: 73

Appearance: Chapeau of the Red Rose, Volcanic pipe, Azure Guardian Armor, blue eyes.

Weapons: Daring Rigadoon, Valiance and Static Flash

Personality: Wise, a bit rude towards youth.

Bio: Duster is one of the oldest living knights that is still on duty, but you would never know that. He fights like a fresh off the ship knight, his raspy voice is what lets most knights know he's old. Despite being in great shape, Duster finds himself tiring easily. Duster collects many trinkets from his adventures, but one thing most knights notice about Duster is that he's used the same set of weapons for years. Duster claims that if you believe in your weapons, they will never let you down. Knights that have seen him in action have noted his fencing manuevers look very suspicious, this is because Duster was one of the most respected fencers in the Knights of the Rose. He doesn't like to talk about his past, he says he has bad memories of lost friends and family. Despite Dusters rude disposition towards younger knights, if you can get on his good side, Duster is like a wise grandfather who you can always turn to for advice and fun.

Relations: Has a tough time with younger knights.

Twists: Nothing that I can think of unless it brings up something from his past.

Pets/Sidekicks: Nothing unless you want to add something in.

Expendability: I would prefer him to stay alive, but death can be an option. At least make it a sacrifice if he does die.

Name: Fragor
Gender: Female
Personality: Tough as nails, gleeful, artistic, proud. Has a respect for Bombers.
Appearance/ Armor: the link will show.
Weapons: Every bomb is in the pack, but the standard loadout she has is Voltastic, Nitrome, Graviton Vortex and stagger storm
History/Background: A bomber who takes pride in her explosions. She thinks it's an art. Gets annoyed if mistakened for a boy. She has a deep respect for bombers as she bows before them before battling
Relations: A line of desendants who used bombs to create art. Her brother looks similar except uses mercurai and is named Butio who uses chemicals to make graffiti. He is like her.
'Twist' Degree: Her respect for bombers makes her have a weak moment in LD and when she encounters a Gremlin Bomber.
Pets/Sidekicks: none.
Expendability: You can decide.

Another character

Name: Bayonne

Gender: Male

Personality: A bit desperate yet stoic and focused, dedicated, driven by guilt.

Appearance/Armor: Grey Feather Hood, Mighty Cobalt Armour, Recon cloak/shield, Canteen, Moustache.

Weapons: Some guns (Antigua, Valiance) some bombs (especially status dealing ones).

History/Background: Once a renowned recon, sharpshooter and master of ambushes, Bayonne has retired over a decade ago and become one of most demanding, but also respected, instructor. Since that time he trained many skilful recons, but his most talented student was a girl named Parma*. Although he wouldn’t admit it, Parma quickly become for him like a daughter, he never had. Since Alpha Squad disappearance Bayonne sunk into despair. He started to blame himself for not showing Parma how proud of her he always was. His inability to show emotions made her reckless and prone to risk – in order to gain her master appreciation she always put herself to the hardest task, rejected any help and wasn’t able to accept anything below perfection. Bayonne believes that this attitude of her may leaded to failure of Alpha Squad mission and sealed Parma’s fate.

In his desperation Bayonne has decided to return to service and wear his recon cloak once more – he still hold a slim hope to find and rescue Parma. Most likely though he’s going to revenge her death, probably ending his miserable existence in the process.

Many knights are glad seeing this veteran pathfinder back in service. Some, especially younger ones, are a bit sceptical of this “grandpa” efficiency on the battlefield though.

Relations: paternal affection toward Parma
'Twist' Degree: moderate
Pets/Sidekicks: up to you, but I don't think so
Expendability: considering his background I won't be surprised if he die at some point

*Link for those unfamiliar with Parma.

I'll try. Why not? Here's someone for a bomber position.

I like making characters (but can't use spy for junk though) :3

Name: Jitters (that's not his real name, but it's what everyone calls him.)

Gender: Male.

Personality: Nervous, but when he gets stressed, he turns into a bit of a juggernaut... and it doesn't usually work out. For this reason, Jitters has taught himself to keep sort-of-cool in most situations. Jitters does, however, have a weakness for mushy soap operas.

Appearance/Armor: Up to you. It'd be nice for him to have a lollipop or something.

Weapons: A Big Angry Bomb, Deconstructor, and a modified Electron Charge that can stick to enemies made of metal. The latter also has a habit of sticking to walls made of metal too.

History/Background: Jitters woke up on Cradle, and immediately started to look for sweet things to eat. He loved sweets. What was this invisible thing he tripped on? Jitters took a taste of the Kleptolisk and frowned in distaste. Not sweet. But the plants he tasted next were nice. Jitters decided to bring them back to Haven to his friends. Since then, Jitters has been a premier candymaker on Haven, creating Clockwork lollies, Lumber bars and boiled Jelly Gems, among other things.

Relations: None of note.

'Twist' Degree: Up to the author.

Pets/Sidekicks: Jitters has a Kleptolisk named Taffy on his shoulders.

Expendability: As much as is necessary, but I'd like to see him continue for a bit.

Zinco
new character

Name: dante
Gender: male
Personality: calm, and rather stupid sometimes. But he is really powerful, and always ready to sacrifice himself for a greater cause, he is extremely skilled in swordfighting, but when it comes to guns, even a snipe is better than him.

apperance/armour: full almirian crusader set, crest of almire.

weaponary: cold iron vanquisher, and a swift flourish.

backstory: the strangers found him when he was only a baby in a escape pod, but it was completely different from the ones the knights used, they said he was a "natural genious" when it came to fighting. The strangers have very little info about his birthplace, but some believe that he is the only survivor (that is not a zombie) from almire... But they never were sure of it.

relations: Has a few knight friends, and will surely make some new ones in this adventure.

expendability: if he is going to die, i want him to die sacrificing himself to defeat a really powerful enemy (perhaps overcharging himself with energy and using some kind of limit break? of course his bodu wouldn't resist and fall apart), and if he dosen't die, i want him to discover his homeland and continue in his journey.

Happyapathy
Update Feb. 13

I'm partway through Chapter 1 and have decided to break it up into two chapters, I've also plotted out quite a bit of the opening chapters, from there on in things start to get messy with the plot and I will need to think about how everything ties together.

==Things I've noticed about Submissions==

Possible replacements for characters lost in Chapter 1, 2, 3

Keep this line in mind, I may have selected characters that I would like as replacements but announcing them would give away which characters are gonna die, or if any do, so there are character submissions that I'm highly considering but can't say so for the sake of the story.

Don't Put 'Main' Labels on For Me

I would also like to say that labeling your character as a 'main character' or 'squad leader' does not increase their chances of been given a main role and may hurt their chances of getting a supporting or minor role as I'm not sure if you would be okay with that. The way things are going it looks like their may be possibly only 4-6 main characters with a larger number of supporting and minor characters revolving around them, just because your character didn't get a lead role doesn't mean they won't get a chance in the spotlight.

Martyrdom Can Get Old

A lot of people are saying if their character dies they want them to get an 'epic death' of some sort, unfortunately you can only have so many scenes of people throwing themselves on grenades, shielding their friends with their own body, or fighting to the death so everyone else can escape, before it starts to get old. Don't expect all deaths to be poignant tearjerkers.

People are also been rather protective of their characters asking for them to live a while, or have their death mean something. I really don't like asking people directly if their okay with their character been killed cause that gives away what will happen, or asking if their okay with their character been only in one scene or chapter cause that gives it away too, if you accept a minor or, even supporting role (but less so), you must agree to the fact I might dispose of him/her at anytime in a manner of my choosing, I will avoid stupid deaths like tripping over a cliff or crushed by a falling piano so that shouldn't be a worry. I do need characters who may only be around for one chapter or to end up been canon fodder, but I don't like having to outwardly ask people for permission to do so.

---------------------

Squad 3:

Main Character: Rex (Squad Leader) - CONFIRMED

@Ndognine

Rex sounds like a solid choice here, he's another good guy type but I do imagine him to be more of a hot head who is more rash and less understanding of others then Avaren. He also sounds like a possible comic relief type and may find himself involved in one of the more humorous plot lines I have in mind. I'm going to exclude the wings and glow eyes, I'm still undecided about the pet. He's quite good as he is so I'm not going to suggest any big amendments.

???Support/Main??? (Squad Mate): Undecided

Not quite sure who to put here, looking for a sort of good/best friend type for Rex, I do know it's going to be a guy. In terms of rank he will equal Rex or at least heavily influence his decisions. Would share a history with Rex and have a compatible personality to him. I've looked through the submissions and considered a few but have yet to narrow it down. If you think your character could fit or be altered to fit I'm open to all suggestions.

Two other spots are generic for now, that may change though >_>

Squad 4:

This is a 'background' sort of squad that the story won't follow for very long, but that does not mean they won't have personality and they will see action. If your hoping that your character submission will get a more long term role be wary of accepting these parts, roles will be confirmed on a first come first served basis:

Minor: Gwilren (Squad Leader) - CONFIRMED

@Windsickle

Your character is fine as is for this role if you want.

@Thunderbog

I know you submitted your character in the hopes of a main role but I could use him here, not sure about later, if I do use him here I would have to drop the background and relations he had to Covens squad and all the conditions of a minor character would be applied to him.

Minor: Rosco Barns "Silk Finger" (Gunner) - CONFIRMED

@Tovvok

This is one character I would definitely like to use here

I will choose 2 to 4 (maybe more) characters from the following for minor Squad mate roles, respective submitters please confirm if you want to accept this role, keep in mind the minor role conditions:

Alpha - CONFIRMED
York - CONFIRMED
Zale - CONFIRMED
Fragor - CONFIRMED
Augustus - CONFIRMED

Personal Responses

I re-read a number past submissions and have a few comments/suggestions for some of them:

*@Gzilla

I suggest you actually re-edit the actual descriptions of your character suggestions to be less insane rather then just add the little edit note at the bottom, also the "prefer not to die" you have for each one is badly limiting the options I have for them

@Ironskullkid

Main problem about your character is it sounds like he's towing an entire entourage of friends with him, like his own personal squad, I'm not sure how important the relations are and it makes it hard to use him if he supposed to be having all these extras in tow, some clarification on how his relations should be treated would help

@Spyash

Once again tl;dr, I strongly suggest you reorganize your submission into something readable

Striker the Brave

Ok heres my guy.

Name: Striker
Gender: male
Personality: prudent and will do anything for his friends
Appearance: Glowing orange eyes, along wwith an Ash Tail set,
Weapons: Valiance, Grand Flourish, and a Leviathan

History/bio: an orphan knight, Striker learned to fight at a young age, and once he made his way to Haven, Kozma and the others of the Spiral Order accepted him into their ranks. At first he never talked to them, preferring to be on his own. Soon he developed close bonds to the Order and is one of the highest ranking knights. He is rash and will usually think before acting and is also loyal and will never give up on his friends. Striker is usually obedient and follows most orders. But even now he Still has an air of suspicion...

Relations: Striker and Kozma have been friends since they were children, and they never leave each others side. They are the closest of friends, but now they may be more....

Pets: Striker, at one point had been on an expedition into the Gloaming Wildwoods. The Snarbolax ambushed he and his comrades, but Striker killed it. He had found a small cub in the grass... A wolver cub. He took care of it and now it has bonded a lot with him. The Wolver,named Ragon,has never lost, neither to a Knight or another monster. He always trys to protect the knights that have taken him in.

Expendability: Striker is one if the strongest Spiral Knights in the Order, but will almost never obey an order unless it is from Kozma or his best friend Basil. He only charges into battle when he has a good strategy planned out, and has almost never lost. Suffice to say.... He is that combo of smarts and strength thats somewhat hard to beat. His only problems are his tendency to spare his enemies and his curiousity, which both of which have led him in many tight spots

There i edited it, hope u like

Kaijuhunter
New guy

Here my character

Name: Hades

Age:19

Gender:male

Personality: A solo fighter, lone wolf, but is one of the strongest Knights in the Order

Appearance: Blazing red eyes, also has black hair.

Armor and weapons: snarbolax coat, Chapeau of the Black rose, barbarous thorn shield, acheron renamed "Thanatos"

History: Named after the god of death himself, Hades has always been able to communicate with the dead. He was cast out of the Kingdom of Almire because they feared his power... He has the ability to summon up to 20 zombies, each armed with a Gran Faust to fight his enemies, but his real power is much darker.... He is a solo fighter and will even leave fellow knights behind. But when the Spiral Knights' sense of justice coincides with his, he will defeat the most enemies and save more knights' lives than any other. His strength worries the spiral order, and it is unsure if he will eventually use his power to overthrow the Order.

Relations: a solo fighter, Hades does not usually interact with other Knights. He supposedly tolerates, even likes the company of small animals, and is always seen with his pet Snarbolax Aeron

Pets: Hades has a young pet Snarbolax named Aeron, and never lets anyone harm him. He is also seen with a small black snipe in battle.

Expendability: Hades is one of the strongest warriors in the Order. They see him as a potential threat, but accept him only because he saved the life of the spiral quartermaster Kozma. Hades is always wary though... But he will place the life of other knights above his own. If he has to die, id like it to be a heroic death, like him releasing a final burst of energy against a powerful foe. Of course, his life force will be drained

Squad: Hades doesnt usually work with any other knights, but will if he has to

Figured I might as well try

Figured I might as well try to make someone to play Rex's best friend.
Also, on Rex's post, I forgot to add personal color and a shield. Personal color is Red and shield is Swift strike. If either affect what you were planning, just ignore them :P
 
Name:Max

Gender:Male

Personality: Always willing to lend a hand, and will NEVER leave a friend behind. Likes to joke around a bit, but gets dead serious when in any kind of battle situation. Doesn't like to argue much, and tends to stay away from them. Likes to let people have their opinions, even if different from his own.

Appearance/Armor: 
Black Chapeau with fancy glasses
Justifier Jacket with Fancy canteen and fancy side blade.
Swift strike buckler
For personal color I was thinking somewhere between blue and purple.

Weapons: Argent Peacemaker, Sentenza, and Callahan.

History/Background: Max's family died when the Skylark crashed, leaving him alone and afraid. He joined some squads, but never really made any connections with Knights. One day he was reassigned to a new squad with a knight named Rex. After talking a while, they became friends. After going through many missions together they became almost inseparable, always demanding that they be in the same squad if things got shifted around. They have reached a point where they know what each other will do in almost any situation.

Relations: No family. Has been best friends with Rex for a long time.

'Twist' Degree:Your story, your call
Pets/Sidekicks: none 
Expendability: your story, your call

replies

Going to be honest here instead of sugar coating things so (I apologize for any upset feelings)...

@Catboyc

I looked at your character and he sounds a bit... generic, there's nothing really notable or particularly interesting there, its like "he's a knight, has fear of wolvers, done", so its highly unlikely I would be using him for anything much.

@Kaijuhunter

For Striker:
A super strong character who never losses, does whatever he wants, has a near flawless personality, and I can't kill off... very little chance I will use him, you might want to bring him down to Earth more cause he's coming out as a 'too good to be true' type that don't exist in reality, everyone has flaws and weaknesses, made mistakes and suffered failures in their life.

For Hades:
You read what I thought about 'magic' right? 0% chance of entering

@Ndognine

I'll think about your character, that's all I can say right now.

@Outnuendo

Posting here is fine, I'll put him in as a possibility but there's a chance I might find a different role for him at some point.
