[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Loony]

@pyroman Don't let the IC die. D:

...Or maybe it's for the best. Sleep is a thing that should happen upon occasion. I think.

[pyroman]

@LoonyI'd post again if I could, but honestly with how I'm playing Sodalite, there isn't a whole lot I could do, even in a war zone

[21308]

@pyroman Yeah, I agree that today has been pretty slow.

Sorry if I've been clinically impatient, you guys. I didn't mean to rush things or whatever and you should all totally do stuff at your own pace. That being said I'm gonna go ahead and post for Spinel, but I'll have it take place in the near future so you guys can still take care of your inner-van business if you want to.

[Akayaofthemoon]

I know the IC is slow today but everyone had important things today or had internet issues so I expected it to slow a bit.

[HaltingBlooper]

Just a note: not posting until someone opens the back of the van.

[pyroman]

would post Sodalite scurrying out if I could

[Loony]

@pyroman I'll do that for Evenkite, I guess. Gilles can wait another two posts. ^ ^"

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

If you don't want to do both characters in one post, I will let you do one after the other.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Oh? Alrighty then, I'll go with Gilles first.

I also have no idea why I kept spelling his name as 'Guilles' a few pages back...Like, was this sleep deprivation working it's magic on me, or...XD

[Loony]

Welp, here goes Gilles. Hope he doesn't disappoint. XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Lol it happens.

I just figured that those two are separate chracters it would be okay this time as long as we don't make a habit of it XD

[HaltingBlooper]

Just a note: Emerald is currently asleep, and for once, not snoring. Didn't put it in IC because I wasn't sure if the GM is okay with a two sentence post.

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper Alrighty. Not that it mattered much to my post since Gilles was a thing that finally happened, but I'll keep that in mind once I post as Evenkite.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Alrighty, I'll try not to, no worries. In fact, if anyone's willing to go out of the van before Evenkite, I'd like to wait two posts until Evenkite comes along. If not, I'll post as her.

And welp, there goes Gilles, running after the van like the child he is on the inside. You think most folk would freak out slightly, but not Gilles. Nope. To him, this is an adveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeentuuuuuuuuuuuure~

[HaltingBlooper]

Since the rp is going a bit slow since like, three of our people seem to have internet problems, who wants to discuss the kind of fighter their character is? (This would apply to Gems, but feel free to post your human character's way!)

[Kronshi]

@HaltingBlooper Finally something I can talk about. Bloodstone, unlike most would believe, fights quite serenely. Making graceful yet powerful swings with his glaive but the anger inside of him causes him to always aim for the area that would cause the most damage, typically aiming for a person's gem. His anger is what makes him plan things so he can eliminate his foe in the most brutal way possible.

[pyroman]

@HaltingBlooperhmm, that's a good question. With her obsessive tendencies aside, Sodalite is pretty polar, either completely defensive or as aggressive as can be. She quickly moves around and tried to stab as much as possible with her shovel-gauntlets. There's no in-between in her styles.

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper My internet's a lot better now. Unfortunantly, It's pretty late, and I'll probably be going to sleep soon. :S

@Kronshi Somehow the fact that Bloodstone fights with such grace makes him seem a lot more scary, actually.

As for Evenkite, as already mentioned in her bio, she's pretty easy to take out, so she relies a lot on speed and evasiveness, her size being a benefit for the latter. She mostly takes on the defensive and keeps her distance (a weapon like hers wouldn't be much good up close, for sure; that sword in Sodalite's pile might come in handy for this reason assuming she does let her use it), until she finds the right moment to make a precise strike.

[HaltingBlooper]

My turn! Emerald is usually a tactical fighter, using the terrain and surroundings (and possibly traps) to his advantage. When fighting a mechanized opponent, Emerald would normally go for easy strikes on the joint areas. His love of tactical fighting and having unexpected advantages is helped by the fact that he loves tinkering and modifying machines, whether it be Johnny's van, which Johnny may not allow, or a battle weapon, like a smoke bomb or bomb...bomb.

Also, he likes exploiting openings and causing seemingly superficial damage that is actually fairly important. He is also good at making openings, such as backing someone into the side of a rocky cliff (like the ones in the Kindergarten) and then causing a small landslide.

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper I can't wait for Emerald to meet Gilles. Imagine the machine-altering antics they'll get into together.

Oh yeah, Gilles's fighting tactic...

He doesn't He'd probably just grab the nearest object, start bashing away blindly, and hope for the best. The manchild was not made for the rage of war. ^ ^"
