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;
Name:
Rank:
Role:
Appearance
-Gender:
-Height:
-Weight:
-Age:
-Eye Color:
-Markings (Tattoo’s, scars, anything out of the normal)
Equipment
-Chest:
-Legs:
-Helm:
-Weapons:
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.

I did
I thought Dark said that couldn't happen as you were blocked off by a gate?
Oh, and I'm going to make that gremlin outpost HATE you Alex. Gremlin connections FTW! :3

Response
I have no idea how to interpret Darkwatck's statement. Gwen always traveled with Jurak; there's no way he's gonna let Jurak through and leave Gwen behind. No offense, Darkwatck, but to heck with that blocking gate.

Its down now!
The barrier fell with the dreadnaught, and you were behind it because you fell behind at the beginning

So...?
So where does that leave me? Do we have a "that never happened" situation? O.O
That's confusing.
Tue, 01/28/2014 - 11:51
#307
that never happened
Just edit your post to say you were at the gates? and make a new one that's like "As the gates lowered..."
Could work

Thin:I don't think its the fact your being Ignored, I think we all got a little confused with your first post and no one bugged to read the repost. It might be in your best interesting to give a follow up post as to whats going on around you and what your PC is doing so we can respond correctly.
Also, might be getting a little bit at the Gremlins neck en? Remember, he can break the elevator and cause you all to get stuck on that level till the Gremlin Colonists find you and kill you. I would not want to make the Engineer who knows the workings of the Elevator mad. And it seems like he does not care too much about his own life, so I am willing to wager he is willing to die and let you get stuck in that level xD.

WHOA! NO!
I wouldn't kill an old man off/cause spiral/gremlin tensions just because a ranger is an asshat (they kinda have a reputation with that)
create grudges? Hohoho yeah.

Ive taken it upon myself to make my Ranger the Arrogant, Egotastical Ass-Hat of the group. Someone's got to be.
Else it'll be full of quiet, timid guys who all get along.
Thats just boring. :P

Blessid
Look its a good idea, but Skotino would put him down. Remember, Skotino knows insanity when he sees it. Unlike Daud, he won't kill a man just because he thinks he is a danger to the mission. But Skotino will defend himself with Lethal force. An Acheron is more deadly then just the explosive wave of energy. It messes with the mind of not only the one who uses it, but the one who fights against it. Skotino's mind is strong enough to resist the insanity it causes.

...
*Can't do anything now* Logically, he is torn open and some of his wires and chips where cut or damaged. So, when the shock affected him, it hit the wire to the missiles, launching them. But of course, no-one cares at all.
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 13:55
#328
Taking it a bit far Sin
I think you're overplaying the shock a little, it is similar to how Robo-Drill over did aisha's fall. Being pushed to the ground gave her internal bleeding, basically broke her spine, and he kept going with the aspect which caused an early death. Now look at you, your posts are running with the shock thing, and it's now becomming a factor thats distrcating from the story. I'd change it so you don't get knocked out of the story
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 14:09
#329
@Blessid and Dark
Blessid, why are you picking on Sin? Sin made a good point, if robots are damaged, sometimes they will do things there aren't suppose to do, (Believe me, I have seen that happening a lot.) Also, not to mention, Mecha Knights suffer damage when they get shocked! So, your trying to say is, he isn't a robot?
Dark, why, oh why do you decline all of Creeper's apps? I understand about the boss and swarm ones but the others where fine. You are just very VERY picky!
This RP is really going down the drain with corrupt people like these not being fair or not using simple logic.
Also, about Aisha, she was going to survive, even with that dark crystal forming on her back. Yes, she would have lost her mind at certain points (Like Player's Hallucinations), but she would have been alive. Like I mentioned, Dark is very unfair and corrupt.
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 14:43
#330
An adress to Robo & Creeper
First off, I'm not picking on him, im trying to suggest he change his course of action so he doesn't get killed/kicked out of the story (And make a new app)
Second, his apps apparently didn't work into Darks grand scheme of things/ didn't fit thier given role/ overpowered in general
Third, are you two the same person on an alt? You always seem to be commenting on how the others post needs to be checked, or arguing the others point, and have a similar writing style. Don't take this the wrong way, I just found it weird is all.
Lastly, To my point; As a robot, if he were being shocked, he would malfunction, yes, but not to that extent. If anything he might shut down, gitter a bit, etc. But if you're going to tell me that it caused him to arm misslies, realase the firing mechanism, and have the rockets malfunction (Targeting friendlies instead of simply wandering off) Yeaaaaaah, no. Its over doing it a bit. Dark himself said " Currently your killing off your own PC" when he tried to set him on fire.
P.S Aisha was knocked down by a passer-by! WHY WAS SHE BLEEDING? there was no need for the crystal to form, you should've had her stand up, brush it off, and keep going. She died because you were taking it too far, she wasn't show, skewered, or blown up, only pushed aside. Stopping you from derailing a story or powersteering it into a personal one.
TL:DR It's not corruption, or simple logic. You died to keep things on track

#332
Insulting
Yep, I can see who got Number 1 in being a Jerk award! Seriously, that is really insulting to me and Creeper! Again, use logic, people might have similar writing styles and I am fed up of people's apps just getting brushed under the carpet like Creeper has. Geez, why, why is NO-ONE EVER THINKING STRAIGHT?! Unless, you are Octodad Blessid!
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 14:53
#333
Alright
I tried to explain where you went wrong and how to fix it. In effect, you accuse everyone incappable of thinking correctly, im an octopus, and you don't bother to read why apps were declined. I think I do know who got that award acctually
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 14:54
#334
*Cries*
I can see I am basically useless here, Molpos does nothing to the story. Blessid, don't assume things like that, especially if 1 of the people is sensitive (me). None of my apps are working, everyone is accusing everyone else and, it's gone to chaos.
Edolas, you can only stop Molpos's Blood lust with shock or flat out killing him (Honestly, I don't really care because of the chaos). Otherwise, Molpos will just attack Quote...
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 15:04
#335
Alright I'm back from a long
Alright I'm back from a long day at school... aaaand immediately attacked. Okay. I'll do something unless someone plans on doing something, I'll take action. Edit: Also, how does PvP work here?
Thu, 01/30/2014 - 15:02
#336
Sudden, Really Loud, Big noise.
That'd be a shock if you werent expecting it.
Otherwise I could just get down on one knee, train on the target, and fire through your central nervous system.
You either take the noise as a shock, or permanent vegetable.

Alright for the Record
First thing is first: Blessied. Thank you for standing up for me and all that. I do thank you, but if they want to complain let them do it to me and I will try and explain as best I can.
Creeper: You Application was accepted, did you not read it? It says Accepted, Pending. I want to see how you RP this character now.
To anyone else, I decline apps because I don't think they fit the given role they are trying to take. SOme times I will be there to see whats going on but other then that I WILL decline it.
If anyone else has something to say, I am more then happy to speak my mind on the subject. Outside of that, stop talking about it unless its to me a or a Mod.

@Dmatter
Pvp in Roleplay's is sort of "turn based." For example, you might wanna look at my run in with Skotino.
A fierce battle commences after our hero, Matthew, is caught death staring a wall. (With some prior context.)
Featuring Posts By:
Playerman as Matthew.
Darkwatck as Skotino/Daud.
Blessed-Bombardier as Nappy.
Just find the posts relating to that. I thinks Darkwatch kind of did a moderator-override to end the battle before anyone got killed. Basically, don't think ahead and predict the other person's movements ahead of time. Do one turn, maybe some dialogue/thoughts.
Edit: Your post there seems like it won't destroy the universe.

I'm beginning to lose interest in this RP. I'll do my best to continue moderator duties, but I doubt I'll be playing much anymore. Players simply don't seem to notice or care that my main character exists.
Are there any tasks you'd like to assign me, Darkwatck?

People
Thin: Sorry, I have been trying to be for everyone not anyone individually. Clearly its gotten me criticized about my methods. Honestly I was hoping to keep you around longer, Gwen could be a very interesting PC later on. As for right now, I suppose just post and make her actions stand out more? After all she has a connection with the Aporean. (Sorry about spelling) So there is clearly something going on there.
Spirals: No I have not, sorry I will look into it when I get some spare time. As for being coming a Giant Toxoil, no can do. That requires more then one and currently you are not a Lichen. Sorry man.

Observe this
That story would NOT have gotten ANYWHERE if Gwen had been treated the way you guys are treating her. In this story, everybody acts like she doesn't exist. Even Jurak doesn't seem to realize her existence unless he wants something from her (or when she directly addresses him). All I ask for is a tiny ounce of recognition for her. Is that too much to ask?
*Gwen pleads with Gradus to get them out of the combat zone. Gradus' response? Does he reply "All right, let's get Jurak outta here," or "Sorry, but I need to tend to Jurak a moment longer?" NO! He doesn't even realize she said anything! He just moves on with his merry life as if Gwen never said a word.
*Gwen winks at him. It's just a slight gesture. But does he notice it? Nah. She doesn't exist, remember?
*You have an UNARMORED GIRL on a battlefield filled with ARMORED SOLDIERS. Does anyone care? Nope. They act as if that happens all the time. Civilians? Who cares about civilians? We have a war to fight. There are no civilians on the battlefield anyways, because Gwen doesn't count - she doesn't exist.
I can't do anything with the story so long as you keep treating her like that. Stop it.
