[OOC] The Crystal Gems

[rocketrobie2]

@sassy1085 Take your time, I've been pretty slow lately too so take your time.

[rocketrobie2]

@sassy1085 Just saw the edits to your CS, liking it so far!

@rocketrobie2
i'm done with my character

[rocketrobie2]

@sassy1085 Looks good Sassy! The only 'issue' is that you don't have any specified stats for your Knightly Sword. There's a list of enhancements that you get to choose two of to add to your weapon since your gem is a Quartz class. You also get to choose a look for the blade (it's more along the lines of a theme for your weapon)

♬ ~ chanson d'automne.. Age: 4500. Backstory As the war ebbed, built, and broke on the planet Earth, Tourmaline was one of three of her type: technician gems of broad scope to account for small numbers. Pink Diamond -- prior to the incident -- would pass assignments through her Agates, and after that, aristocrats kept them scuttling around. Tourmaline, Facet-5F7L, Cut-8XB, oversaw kindergarten maintenance and traveled across the planet programming warp pads, but internally, she considered her true job to be a historian, lorekeeper of gem kind. She served Homeworld for three thousand years and hated every moment of it. It's not easy to stay impartial with the Diamond's line of dirty laundry laid at your fingertips. Scouring the database with particularly-illicit curiosity turned up records of past alien civilizations conquested, genocided in the name of species preservation -- and their resources were devastated now anyway. It was why gems like her own were repurposed. First era Tourmalines were decorative gems like Pearls without exclusivity to the upper crust -- entertainment gems, their only responsibility to sing, dance, and dazzle for a paying audience. But Pink Diamond's seizure of the Earth colony occurred at the realization of economic disparity and a proclaimed "social advancement" which truly moved the idea of citizenship backward. In becoming technician class, Tourmalines traded their class prerogative, the only subversion of the Diamonds' intense imposed autocracy. Meanwhile, the rulers of those past interplanetary societies had been far less controlling and, frankly, incompetent -- they were utterly destroyed. Tourmaline felt no sympathy when her Diamond was shattered. She saw it as the beginning of an future, one where gems rose up to crush what remained of the Authority. She worked as a double agent, providing intel to the rebel party as the war raged on the fringes. She could only suppress so much of her disparity, especially as, based on what she saw of the conflict, it was increasingly tipping in the Crystal Gems' favor. Unfortunately, for them, that "victory" was much more complicated. On her behalf, Tourmaline was never enlightened. An Agate caught wind of her leaking and narced. She was destabalized, would have been shattered, but the Crystal Gems interfered. At that point, she had proven herself an ally. At this point, they're all she has. _________ Tourmaline is a brittle gemstone. Luckily hers is placed on the nape of her neck and out of sight. Full name is "Cat's Eye Tourmaline." Also goes by "Cat's Eye," "Cat." Because she used to be a decorative gem, her gem still has some storage capacity, but it's dedicated to her limb enhancers. Her limb enhancers at max length are equivalent to two forearms (proportional to herself) attached at the joint. The disjointed finger parts have the appearance of hooked claws. Her limb enhancers have a "combat mode" in which the claws "unsheath" into longer daggers. Holographic technology in themselves, the enhancers appear in place of where arms would normally be when active. The diamond emblem on the nape of her cloak nowadays is a golden star.

If I ain't too slow on this, I wanted to try a 'tabletop'-style rp here so... here's an offering! No rush :]

[rocketrobie2]

@Karkinos The more the merrier! Things are still a little slow around here but I'm still more than willing to continue on with this. Feel free to Post your CS to the CS tab and get a post up!

[sassy1085]

@rocketrobie2
i'll try to post something tomorrow. sorry for being slow, college and stuff

[rocketrobie2]

@sassy1085 No problem.

@Karkinos@Stern Algorithm I'll get a post up for you guys on Sunday/Late-saturday in that case so I can address ay all

[Stern Algorithm]

@Vega

Yay! You're back! Sorry you got poofed.

[Karkinos]

First 'action' of the gaaame

(I also messed up the Robonoid abilities - she only starts with 3. Edited that)

[rocketrobie2]

@Karkinos My bad for not catching that. Been pretty busy the last few days but I'll hopefully give you guys something to work with today.

Also glad to have ya back @Vega!

[rocketrobie2]

@Karkinos Should have caught this sooner too but you have to make a roll for the detect Gem Tech technique. The site has a built in Dice roller that's easy to use and allows everyone to see the rolls

@Stern Algorithm@sassy1085@Vega Just mentioning you guys here so you see the dice roller too.

[Karkinos]

Ahh, ok, thought rolling was a GM thing. Added a link!

Rolls for RATs are "+INT" as well, which I forgot to note. So the roll would be 4 + 13 (Cat's INT stat)...?

[rocketrobie2]

@Karkinos You’re supposed to add the modifier, not the whole stat. It’s a bit confusing but every few stat numbers are associated with s modifier number which helps things stay a little more balanced. I’m pretty sure I put the table on the first page of the OOC but if I didn’t I can go find it again. Anyway, I’ll try to get a post up today. I’ve got work later but I should be able to get something up after that.

[Karkinos]

That makes a lot more sense, haha. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a consequence for using robonoids.

I forgot to note which stats I modified but I should be able to figure it out, then I’ll edit that in

[rocketrobie2]

@Karkinos Sounds good! I’ll give it a look over after you’ve made any edits.

[Karkinos]

@rocketrobie2 Alright, we updated. Just did a touchup + showed the modifiers this time. Means the roll is 4 +1 now.

[rocketrobie2]

@Karkinos sounds good. I’ll take a look when I get home
