[OOC] The City of Gems

[Kronshi]

@December Sorry, your cs was deeper in the ooc than I thought to look at. The moment I saw your name in the viewing list I remembered. As for your character, I'd like a bit of clarification on his empathy power before I accept.

@Kronshi

You're all good! I didn't wanna say anything and seem whiney tbh XD

Y'know, I had a feeling this would happen. I wrote out this three paragraph thing on his empathy powers when I first did the CS, but I deemed it overly verbose and scrapped the entire thing so you guys wouldn't get bored while reading it. Karma, man, it sucks.

This is in his updated CS:

Empathy: Cavan has the ability to sense the emotions of those around him. While he cannot read minds by any means, he can detect is someone is scared, angry, sad, happy, or any other kind of emotion, even if they're trying to hide it. Due to this, he can typically tell when someone is lying, seeing as their emotions betray panic and fear. Cavan is unable to turn off his empathy, very similar to the way Garnet's Future Vision(TM) works. Lastly, this enables him to detect whenever he isn't alone, as he can sense someone else's emotions. The more powerful an emotion, the farther away Cavan can sense it.

@Archmage MC
Omg I would love that fusion so much

@rocketrobie2
Hmm that reminds me of this monster in Scooby-Doo

[The1Rolling1Boy]

Wait can we move our characters now?

[Kronshi]

@December Alrighty, Empathy seems fine by me than. Cavan is accepted, please move him to the character tab.

@The1Rolling1Boy If your character has been accepted, yes.

[Archmage MC]

Wait can we move our characters now?

@The1Rolling1Boy

If they're accepted yep.

I'm watching/playing XCOM, so I'll think of fusions in the meantime. I know a good chunk of gods to get some ideas from if need be. SMITE is very good at that, even if they suck at initial balancing.

[December]

@Kronshi Thank you!

[The1Rolling1Boy]

@Archmage MC@Kronshi
Its was accepted so I'll go and move it now

[EnterTheHero]

@The1Rolling1Boy For active you could have her turn into water. That'd be especially cool if Marnie and Vert ever fuse!

@rocketrobie2

That would be... dramatic.

[Archmage MC]

<Snipped quote by rocketrobie2>

That would be... dramatic.

@EnterTheHero

Hey Hero, did you see that I figured that Vert + Marry = Zeus with teleporting powers?

[EnterTheHero]

@Archmage MC I certainly did. We need to discuss how they'll act while fused, by the by.

[Raijinslayer]

The only time that Serpahinite is going to fuse anytime soon is if someone's like "Quick, we need to fuse to beat a thing" and she's like "what does that mean, I don't even-fine, if it beats the thing, whatever" then fusion happens, and either fight happens or immediate deconstruction, and she'll never say yes again . . until someone gains her trust anyway.

@Kronshi
Also, fusions with Sera will be weird. I think most of the time, her weapon won't fuse with the other person's weapon, but their powers, and thus making them more a battle angel with weird wings and what-not. Just a thought to make things easier.

[Scyntell]

Had to go digging to find my CS post lol

[HaltingBlooper]

@Archmage MC
Zeus is a gem?

[Archmage MC]

@Archmage MC I certainly did. We need to discuss how they'll act while fused, by the by.

@EnterTheHero

Oh probably cocky or something. I mean, you are able to fly, teleport, make portals, and shoot people with lightning while having a massive electrified shield that I assume you can control like an electric Capt America Shield, except you can always bring it back to you. Might as well go full Zeus and make them a calculating cocky too! Or that last bit might come with a triple fusion if it sounds too broken. xD

@Archmage MC
Zeus is a gem?

@HaltingBlooper

Its something to model the fusion after. Female Zeus. Fun stuff. Marry even has the robes for it.
And I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of Zeus or Zeus-like gem out there. He IS the most well known of the greek gods, so they probably named a gem after him and it got remained to something else.

@Kronshi

I have modified the char sheet with the prior mentioned eye count clarification, username removal and weapon/equipment/power change to prehensile tech empathy hair and a gladius. Is the sheet now satisfactory? also I added a height because apparently I forgot that last time.

Howlite

Name: Howlite/Owl

Gem: Howlite
Appearance:
Wears black helmet with an opaque visor which she uses to protect here 2 large light sensitive eyes, it effectively has 5 cameras (capable of detecting various wavelengths of light) in it, that all dulled to a light level suitable for her 2 owlish eyes. The visor has 5 marks indicating the location and these are synced up with her own eyes state, resulting in 5 expressive elliptical shapes on the visor. the visor can also display images instead of the eye marks to allow others to see data she has or emote in more absurd ways ([ ! ],[ ? ],[0_0]). a collection of straps over her chest and back attach a backpack which has 4 extendable manipulator arms with 3 fingered claws on the end used either for rapid movement, climbing or helping with work. At the front the straps link to a ring shaped device around her gem that currently serves no purpose than to act as a counterweight to the backpack, but has plenty of room for new features. She wears a pair of white gloves, turquoise shorts and wee booties. her skin is gray-blue-white in color, her arms and legs are covered in random dark markings. She has a pale blue hair with a braid coming out of the back of her helmet which has a ring at the end which contain data storage and various wireless communications devices. She is about 4 feet tall.

Gem Placement: center of chest
Gem Item: Gladius

Powers:

active:
Techno-Empathy, she can like her mind with a device and ether operate it or read/write data at incredible speed, using this and her small light frame she can create devices that would require advanced AI to work properly like robotic limbs or mecha, while humans can create materials and motors suitable of these functions she bypasses the walking/balance/interface problem that plagues robotics. This only works through making contact with the device itself or wiring linked to it with her hair.
Passive: Her hair is prehensile, the long braid at the back can be split to create small fine manipulators or to touch individual machines to us her Techno-Empathy on them.

Backstory:

Howlite’s are data analysts and software/cybernetics engineers , anything that might be some kind of computer is their domain. Emerging in early 20th century america doesn't give much opportunity to use this skill, anything easily accessible was quickly to made into her data ring, helmet and backpack before running out of material. Having concluded that everything else nearby is either “primitive”, broken or filled with corrupted gems she succumbed to purposeless boredom (and low battery on her equipment) and went back and slept (having learned about this and a few other things during a few brief confusing conversations with members of the local dominant species, the American) in her hole for 100 years, only to be awoken by the construction of the city. She is extremely interested in all the data the humans have now got electronically stored and intends to parse all of it, every last bit.

[EnterTheHero]

@Archmage MC Well, that sounds about right- combining Marry's arrogance with Vert's recklessness, with a dash of both of their inquisitive natures, as well. The fusion probably would be something of an asshole, wouldn't they?

[Kronshi]

@DracoLunaris Alrighty. All looks good now. Accepted.

[Archmage MC]

@Archmage MC Well, that sounds about right- combining Marry's arrogance with Vert's recklessness, with a dash of both of their inquisitive natures, as well. The fusion probably would be something of an asshole, wouldn't they?

@EnterTheHero

Maybe. Though I think they wont be total assholes, just slightly. Like a glory hound, but with the power to actually make it happen. Or a superhero kinda thing, super over the top, although they act more glory hound instead of superhero. I dunno, its a tough thing to describe xD.

Trying to go for some strange dycodemy like Papyrus, just not a character like papyrus. I mean for Papyrus, Narcissistic + innocent + super nice is a really really weird combo that works so well.

[EnterTheHero]

@Archmage MC Yeah, now that you mention it, the boisterous hero concept sounds better. Arrogant, yes, but not unwarranted. On TV Tropes, I believe it's called Awesome Ego.
