Default Join the Lords of Uncloaked Steel! [Week]

Four armies vie for control of the Playground - now emerges a fifth.

The Lords of Uncloaked Steel do not desire power. We are not after control. Instead we have come, lured by the scent of blood on the wind, to contest the right of all comers to lay claim to the Playground without first facing its champions.

Prospective Lords should have a flair from the dramatic and the tagline, "But iron - cold iron - is master of them all." in their signature. New recruits will receive Dramatic Gauntlets and a Stylized Sword.

Join our army, be a Lord!

Appreciators of good metal. You would make valuable allies. Join us, and we'll let your flaw - your flesh - get through this unscathed.

Alliances are both unbecoming of a band of ruthless Lords and most unstylish; what kind of Lord needs to bring in machines to drive his enemies before him?

We find this is beginning to get rather ridiculous.

But...interesting. We are...intrigued, by this proposal. The shine of polished steel is a motif that is rather appeasing to the clone instinct...violence begets violence some say. However, organized violence may allow for the chaos that is beginning to reign to be...muted...

The Lords are experts at quelling the rabble, striking with such grace and ferocity that the devastation we leave behind is littered not only with rubble, but any courage our enemies had to face us with. Join, and you too can learn the arts of destroying enemy morale in addition to their bodies - in addition to the free equipment!

Welcome to our ranks, Baron of Swinging Pendulums. Your clockwork fighting style will annihilate Chaos or force it to see the light of our glory.

Welcome to FFRP. For those of you who are new, I recommend reading FFRP Central to get to know the rules better.

Also, Lord_Gareth, since this is an Avatar Week based thread, mind adding a [Week] tag to the title to help avoid confusion?

Thanks.

Hrm, as Wolfbane has said please go to the FFRP central thread first to learn and discuss. Handy link to me telling you guys to discuss it and then another link to the begging of the FFRP central thread. Thank you and welcome.

We are ready.

We fight to bring back the silence. To stop the chaos. If any others of our kind will join me, we will be an unstoppable coordinated force, grey blades shining with the blood of those who would destroy the peace we once had.

Hmm the resistance is starting to become a real headache, it's too good for an evil demon such as myself, I'm not becoming a clone, the robots don't have souls and the horde... is the horde, so this leaves me with the choice of staying with the rainbow spewers, joining you or making the faction of demons, joining you could be interesting but, hmm a few questions are in need of answering, do you have souls? are you good? do you like demons? if I join may I claim the souls of the defeated? Also I require a one soul deposit, boss's rules.

The Horde promises slaughter, the Resistance lies about explosions. If I join may I devour the nommable of those we destroy?

Also I have no need of a sword.

Edit: As a note I was waiting for a fifth army

You need not consume all that have fallen. Some may be left to rust in the dirt. Or they shall be melted down to make more blades that will slay their allies.

They make excellent explosions, though. There are supposed to be fireworks to mark an end to the event

And apparently Zeus begrudges me creating them with lightning

Xellia, the Lords have no policy regarding consuming the souls of the fallen and make no official policy regarding its members' alignments. We cannot, however, offer you any souls up-front.

I'm afraid that my avatar skills are somewhat lacking - can I get an avvie for the Prince of Gleaming Knives?

Now I want to ask for an avatar of a blue dragon with (cold iron) claw-sheaths... maybe eating a clone. I'm silly.

Of course the Lord of Crashing Scythes would need an avatar. There's nothing silly about STYLE!

Lord of Crashing Scythes? Hmm... I could get used to that, has a certain gravity to it.

A five way battle
Blazing across the playground
I will triumph, yeah!
