The City of Gems

[Akayaofthemoon]

Kindergarten, a vast canyon filled with numerous holes carved on the faces of rocks; these are referred to as the "birthplaces" of many Gems. All over the Earth are places such as these, mostly unfinished and forgotten while others are still very much standing as if a constant reminder of what lead to the events of the Gem War and the mistakes that were made by HomeWorld Gems. Not all of the gems made in these places were mistakes but most of them were corrupted, unable to take normal form and forced into monstrous form with only base thought as far as anyone could tell. If the corrupted gems weren't bad enough, the process to create these gems took the nutrients from the Earth, killing the planet slowly and leading to one outcome if not stopped.

Rose Quartz, the one that saw beauty in everything was enthralled with Earth and wished to protect it from being misused. She banded together with her friends and allies to start a rebellion. They fought hard to protect this world from the HomeWorld Gems. The War was intense and many gems were destroyed from both sides. In the end, Rose Quarts and her closest friends were the only ones left of the rebellion that was known as the Crystal Gems. The only ones left on Earth are now outcasts of their true home. The Earth was now their home and they felt responsible to clean up the mess that HomeWorld had left behind and continue their mission.

Little would Rose and the others know that not all the gems from the Kindergarten had awoken for the Gem War. They still sat, forming or even just staying in their gems and refusing to project a body. Others hid or stayed in there holes, making a choice not to be a part in the War. It wouldn't be long before they popped into existence or were tempted to form with a bustling metropolis now built on the remains of their birthplace and HomeWorld gems poking around in the Kindergarten once more.

Rules & Information:

• Communication. There is a reason this one is on top! If you have a problem with anything at any time in this RP than please feel encouraged to talk with my Co-GM or myself. Speak up, I am not a mind reader but I do want everyone to enjoy themselves as much as I can.
• The first also leads into this one, if you are going to be gone for a few days than please notify again the Co-GM or myself. That way we can work in you being gone so everything doesn't come to a stand still. I do not expect everyone to be posting 24/7, after all this is supposed to be fun and entertaining, not pressuring. However, there's no fun with characters being away the whole time without notification if they're still interested in participating in this RP at all.
• If you have an idea, please share it! Speak your mind!I want everyone to be a part of this RP. The growing and the movement of it all.
• If you have read all my rules than put hail the king at the bottom of your profile
• You must post at least two paragraphs minimum (5-7 sentences per paragraph). More is always good.
• You can play a maximum of two characters unless permission has been granted by myself or Co-GM
• The king is a lie so write bow to the queen instead. Making sure not too many people skimmed. Be sure to read the rule under this one cause it is important and I will know straight away if you didn't read it.
• After an initial post, you most wait for two other people to post before you may post again. Sometimes conversations may force a post to have to be sooner but maybe not.
• Have fun and welcome to my magical RP!

Fusions
* Will add to the list when we decide fusions

*Note on Human Weaponry versus Gems:
-Bludgeoning (Ex: Hammer or Fists): Effective against gems as long as the human can put enough force behind it.
-Slashing (Ex: Sword): Very ineffective although multiple strikes in the same area can eventually leave a cut deep enough to poof them.
-Piercing (Ex: Spears): Ineffective but a continuous applied force can eventually pierce their form and poof them.
-Bullets and other long-range weaponry: Completely useless due to the high likelihood of ricochet before adequate force is applied
-Explosives: Really the only weapon that should be considered unless you're way too brave and/or stupid.

-On top of this, Gems have a naturally higher physical prowess than humans. So attacks will most likely be dodged unless you can surprise the gem.

[Raijinslayer]

Hey, in lieu with Kronshi's suggestion, I'll be dropping my gem, so if anyone wants to use Tiger's Eye, Marra Mamba, and that other one from the backstory, then they're completely free to do so. I'm not sure what my Gem will be yet, got to do some researching. Should be up tomorrow at the latest.

[HaltingBlooper]

I would like to reserve Cat's Eye Tourmaline.

You know I'm game

[pyroman]

Just double posting because edits won't send the notifications.

@AkayaofthemoonI'm going to be working on another rebellion Sodalite, if that's okay with you?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@pyroman

Of course. ^_^

[pyroman]

Name:Sodalite
Gem:Sodalite
Appearance:
Gem Placement:Near the top of her head
Gem Item: Bo Staff
Powers: Omnilingualism, the ability to learn and use any language almost instantly. Knowledge assimilation, Sodalite never forgets anything, and can read an entire book in a matter of minutes while still retaining each and every word and its placement. Predictive brain, Faux future vision, Sodalite's realm of knowledge allows her to think of different possibilities of the current situation, but not to the effect of a Sapphire. Visor Generation. A later model during the war, Sodalite can generate a simple heads-up-display, allowing for easy access and management of information.
Backstory: Sodalite is a former Linguistics officer, Negotiations officer, and a brief tactitian for the homeworld. Once the war began to start, she questioned her leaders, and eventually left to assist Earth and use her knowledge to help drive Homeworld away.

[Archmage MC]

I'd like to give this a try. Would a powerset consisting of Portals, Levitation, Mirror, and Blink be ok? Or Portals(Enhanced), Levitation, Blink

[Raijinslayer]

@AkayaofthemoonI've decided on Seraphinite for my gem, andit's going to be a newborn. Idea i'm running for powees are a passive focused on the senses, switching between a combat form and a sensory form, and her weapons being her wings.

[Raijinslayer]

@Archmage MCSup MC, and quick qyestion, Homeworld or Rebellion? Cause that really does make a difference in just how specific you need to be, though I think you shoukd still elaborate on how you plan to enact said abilitiea, so the GM's have a better idea on what they're dealing with.

[Archmage MC]

Oh, uh, either. Depends on if you want them to be an antagonist or protagonist. Or antivillain. I can try to pull a Beerus-tsundere anti villain sorta thing if you need that. I'd prefer Protagonist due to lots of character interaction, but the character can work with either and I'd have different things to enjoy and whatnot.

And as for the powers. Do they need to be 100% scientific or is some mysticism allowed? That isn't clarified in the show due to it bieng some half and half stuff.

Levitate(Passive) = Antigrav, fairly straightforward.
Portals = Think a Portal Gun, just in staff form. Enhanced version can either conjure portals in air as well as on surfaces or allow portals to move while being used or both, but detonate if they're open for too long. I dunno, up to you on what limits you wanna give these. This is probably the most fluid of the abilities.
Blink = Short range teleport that breaks the character free of bonds.

I can tinker and see if I can think of another time-space sorta thing for a fourth if you need one. Mirror (Entity or image) doesn't work really as a theme.

[Raijinslayer]

@Archmage MCIt's more to do with what Akaya stated about Kronshi being much more discerning about powers than she is. However if you want to be on the Rebelluon side, then what you have should be fine, though we already have a staff wielder at the moment.Akaya may have a few thinks to say, but the idea seems workabke.

That being said, I'm not a GM, so probably best to wait on them and what not.

Edit:Doesn't have to be purely scientific, though straight up magic should peobably be avoided

[Archmage MC]

Ah, ok. I can easily change the weapon since the character will almost never actually use it and rely on abilities far more.

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper Tourmaline, similarly to Beryl, is more of a category of gem than an actual gem. They have specific names based off of color so I'd like you to change the gem. Simply pick a color and find the corresponding gem.

@pyroman Everything looks good but of course Akaya has the final decision.

@Archmage MC Those powers look absolutely fine with me. Whether you go with the powered up portals and give up your fourth power or not is up to you. Of course, if you're going to be a rebellion gem the final decision is up to Akaya.

[HaltingBlooper]

@KronshiI changed the gem.

[Spinna]

Boop. Like I said in the other thread I'm up for this too. If possible I'd like to keep Spinel and Chromite.

[Archmage MC]

Hey, can I use Octarine as a gem/color even if it is something from Terry Prachet? Fits the motif I'm going for really well and sounds like a gem xD.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@HaltingBlooper
I have to agree with @Kronshi on this one since we have clearly stated and had this conversation in the past. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh as I am not meaning too.

@pyroman
Approved. Everything looks good

@Archmage MC
I see nothing wrong so far but I would like to see a character sheet first. A staff weapon has already been taken so if you are willing to do a different one that would be great

[Archmage MC]

Rebellion

Name: Marry

Gem: Moldsvite

Appearance:

Picture

Although she tends to have more of an 'always curious about everything' look on her face than the one in the picture.

Gem Placement: Chest

Gem Item: Tower Shield/Grimore

Powers:
Levitate(Passive) = Antigrav, fairly straightforward.
Portals(Enhanced) = A projectile that can be detonated to create a two way connection in space-time that can be of varying shapes or sizes. Portals can be made either in the air or on surfaces. Portals made on solid surfaces are very stable and take a good while to close if not closed manually while air based portals are unstable and will close a little bit after creation. Portals can be moved while they are open, but doing so reduces their lifespan. There can only be one pair of portals open at a time.
Blink = Short range teleport that breaks the character free of bonds.

Backstory: A scientist interested in the knowledge that other worlds could bring, Marry decided that the wanton destruction of Homeworld was far too much to deal with, and rebeled to save a planet that looked like it had great potential. Plus Homeworld had stagnated pretty badly in general and wasn't that fun to be at anyway.

Other: Tsareena's unique ability.
