We Are the Crystal Gems

Soapstone

Gem: Soapstone

Gem Location: On top of his skull, under his hat.

Emotional Strength: Diligence

Emotional Weakness: Distrust

Weapon: Marbles

Power: Pseudomorph - Soapstone is able to harm other gems, but does it inside of a very special manner rather than smashing them into tiny bits and pieces. The weapon Soapstone uses is able to mess with the physical construct of other gems. The material will latch onto any part of body, hardening on their skin, and will slowly turn their gem into the same material of itself. It takes several weeks for the infection to truly defeat any gem, and if not removed, it would result in death.

At first touch, the gem will weaken depending on where Soapstone had hit them. If hit around the body like the arms or legs, it won't incapacitate them, but they will still feel slightly weakened almost if their energy was being sapped. The malleable substance is fairly hard to take off when it hardens, but if enough force is used, it can be torn off and easily crushed into dust. However, the substance can be easily taken off by Soapstone and absorb back into the layers of clothing. The sweet spot that Soapstone looks for to attack another other gem is the actual gem itself, if somehow Soapstone managed to make contact, the opponent would find that their strength would be draining faster than if placed upon any other body part.

The process is that the gem will, on a very small scale, turn into the substance that was put onto themselves. If left to grow, it would also make that part of the body fairly weaker compared to the rest of the body. It almost spreads like an infection from the point of the gem to the rest of the body. If the entire body is covered inside of the material than the original gem would slowly deteriorate and become an empty shell of the substance. This process takes weeks to fully affect the gem and can still be cured if taken care of early. There would also be another way rather than fighting the infection, and that is to actually incapacitate Soapstone making the substance so much more easier to be removed from the body.

@Invisible Man

Alright, I will put my worries to rest and like I said, I trust you

Have you not decided on a weapon yet and that is why you have it as N/A or are you planning to not have one? Just a bit confused on that

@Akayaofthemoon

Oh, I don't really know what to call it. The marble sized substance is his weapon, but it doesn't really fit any kind of category so I just left it blank and put it into his powers.

@Kronshi@Invisible Man

Character sheet would need to be changed to fit ours and the name would have to be changed to something other than Talc. I admit that the power worries me a bit that it could be OP. I was worried about OP with Mars but Raijin made it very clear on the draw backs. If Kronshi is okay with it than I will allow it. I am giving you my trust Invisable please don't break it

@Akayaofthemoon

Oh, you don't have to worry about his power breaking the RP. You have to note that Soapstone, like Talc, is extremely weak. That means that one of the weakest gems will have to get in arms length of the opponent that is most likely vastly stronger than him to even apply his attack. So, if this fragile gem makes one wrong move while fighting, he could poof or even worse.

@Invisible Man Well most of it is fine but it will have to be formatted to match our CS. That power and the effects of it seem OP but due to it being his only source of attack and it easily being destroyed may get you past Akaya. Your gem will also be a newborn that has recently formed in a kindergarten on earth and therefore wouldn't have as much of a basis of what the Home-World gems and the Earth gems stand for.

@Kronshi

Gotcha! Glad that my pre-alpha CS got slightly accepted, that is good enough for me.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Invisible Man Sure you can keep the appearance but you still can't be an exact Talc. I'm not sure about the weapons, what exactly are they? And there is a gem-being under that cloak right?

@Kronshi

Yeah, I know, guess that was my last swing into the dark. Think I'll just go with Loony's idea and go soapstone or something like that. Oh, and Saarebas, if you see this, I'm sorry that the RP didn't work out, and I'm sorry for leaving the Forgotten Shards.

So just to clear things up, I used to be in another Steven Universe RP under another alias, but that was a long time ago and I'm here to start anew and not be a total douche bag, I try to do my best to not lose interest in RPs. And basically, I already had the CS made for this RP from the last SU RP I used to be in, I like to recycle my ideas. So, I know it isn't accepted and never will be, but I will be basing Soapstone off this CS... Heavily.

My Hider

Name:
Talc

Gem:
It can be found on the back of the head in a jagged square shape form.

Appearance:
Talc is very secretive on its appearance, wearing stuff to cover the entire body. Talc's build is rather undefinable since of the large coat covering the entire body, and the only thing you can say is that Talc is rather short and that the voice is almost boyish sounding. He wears a large black trench coat, the popped up collar circling his entire head and covering the chin, neck, and mouth. He also has buttons reaching down to its chest, and a large pocket on both sides of the bottom half of the coat. The trench coat also goes down to his feet, covering him from mouth to toe! Talc has two matching leather gloves, and large blue lensed goggles. Lastly, he wears a wide brimmed fedora and even covering the entire body with bandages. Talc is also very light weight and agile even inside of the clunky clothing, but it leads Talc to be weaker than most every gem and is barley as tough as an average human.

Weapon:
Talc carries no weapons, but produces marble sized balls of his own gem that can be crushed into powder through minimal physical activity. This powder can be used in many ways from medicine to lethal manners.

Unique Abilities:
Pseudomorph - Talc is able to harm other gems, but inside of a very special manner than smashing them into bits and pieces. The weapon he uses is able to mess with the structure and form of other gems as the minerals will latch onto any part of the gem and transform the body into the same material of itself. It takes several days to weeks for the infection to stay inside of place and can be no longer removed resulting in death for the gem. At first touch, the gem will weaken depending on where Talc had hit them. If hit around the body like the limbs, it won't incapacitate the gem, but will feel weaker than their regular self almost as if they were actually sick. The malleable substance is fairly hard to take off, but if enough force is used it can be torn off and easily crushed into nothingness. However, the substance can be easily taken off by Talc and absorb back into the layers of clothing. A more powerful state of the material is if it is placed on the gem, the gem would be severally weakened and the process would go much faster. The process is that the gem will on a very small scale turn into the substance that was put onto the gem and would also make that part of the body fairly weak compared to the rest of the body. It almost spreads like an infection from the point of the gem to the rest of the body. If the entire body is covered inside of the material than the original gem would slowly deteriorate and become an empty shell of the substance. This process takes weeks to fully affect the gem and can still be cured if taken care of early. There is another way rather than beating up the infection and that is to actually incapacitate Talc making the substance much easier to be removed from the body.

Behavior:
Talc is concerned with his own well-being and that of the Crystal Gems. He may behave in a good manner to those he considers friends and allies, but will only act maliciously against those who have tried to injure him in some way. For the rest, Talc does not care. He does not wish ill on those he doesn't not know, but he also does not care when he hears of evil befalling another group. Better for others to suffer the evil than himself. If an ally is in need, Talc will aid them, out of genuine love or because he may be able to count on that ally a little more in the future. If someone else is in need, he will weigh the options of the potential rewards and dangers associated with the act. If an enemy is in need, Talc will ignore them or take advantage of his misfortune.

Talc can be easily offended by those who are opinionated or bigoted. A rather zealous Crystal Gem is just as offensive as a racial supremacist Homeworld Gem in his eyes. Talc also does not necessarily strive for balance amongst the world. In fact, he may have tried to avoid the situation in general. The strange gem also didn't take up the cause for the Crystal Gems like others had done, as he didn't necessarily feel obligated to do so, but because it just made sense to support the group that protected his way of life.

@Invisible Man Well, sure there are variations of gems but they typically go by different names otherwise it's the same gem with a different color scheme. And although it's practically canon that there are multiples of one type of gem, they are very similar and this would cause you to be highly restricted to how your character looked, acted, and what weapon they have. So sadly, it's final, no Talc unless you can provide me with a version of it that hold a different name.

@Kronshi

Ok, wait, wait. I think I can manage with that, I think I can work with it. This is the appearance of my Talc, I had it done awhile ago by some commission person. However, I think I can work with another angle, but I can hope I can keep the appearance, I love it too much. Also, his weapon are those little sphere things coming from his hands.

@Invisible Man

Sadly Talc is as stated, dead and has a deep past with one of the other gems who is the creator of Talc in this one. I apologize but that one cannot be played. I hope this doesn't deter you from joining.

@Akayaofthemoon

Well, aren't there more variations than just one gem in the entire world? I'm sorry for trying to argue against the GM, but I did put a lot of research into this one even before thinking of joining, and I even have a little appearance for him as well. However, if the decision is final, I guess I can come back later with another idea for a gem or not, I don't know, my creativity to create characters comes and goes as it pleases.

Edit: Bleh, if the Co-GM says you can't do it as well, then might as well just drop the subject. I'll try to come back with a new character in mind that will fit with your parameters, OFF TO RESEARCH!

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Invisible Man It all depends on what gem you want (the banned list is on the first ooc post). what weapon you want, and if you can stay committed to this roleplay. Too many people have been joining just to drop out really quick. So if you want to join you have to stick with us.

@Kronshi

Well, I have been regularly posting in the Phoenix Wing RP since I've first joined this site, does that count for me not wimping out? Oh, and I'm not sure if the gem I'm thinking about is allowed, it isn't in the banned list, but it is inside of the dead list. So, am I allowed to do Talc? Or, am I not? And if Talc is allowed, my weapon would be something interesting, not constrained to the medieval-esque style, but my Talc is mainly just a support type character rather than a fighter.

We Are the Crystal Gems

Uh, is there still room for one more person? I saw that you might have one spot left for gems.
