KronshiHey guys,this isn't really RP related but in keeping with our tradition of sharing stuff, I just got done with school for this semester! Also, I completed the career program I was in! If everything goes well, I'll probably be working at a hospital within a couple months!

We've got a Howlite and a Zircon showing up? It's just like old times!
@Pathfinder Since gem shards seem to retain some amount of consciousness, probably "go get shattered."
@Akayaofthemoon @Kronshi Okay, here is my current and hopefully final draft of Spinel's sheet. Me and Kronshi talked about it over PM and he was cool with everything besides her weapon, so hopefully this is acceptable.
Name: Spinel
Gem: A White Spinel
Appearance:
Gem Placement: Her left elbow
Gem Item: A throwing knife
Powers:
-Invisibility: Technically, Spinel is always invisible, but her body normally emits a ghostly white glow. With enough focus, she can suppress her body's glow and become transparent. She can do this for up to 30 minutes while completely still, or 10 minutes while moving. The drawback of this ability is that she is significantly worse than others at hiding in the dark without something covering her.
-Silent steps: Because of her light body, Spinel's footsteps are almost entirely inaudible to most human or gem ears.
-Combat reflexes: Spinel isn't a natural born fighter, but she is built for agility and has become adept at using this to her advantage.
-Analyst (2): Being an information and reconnaissance gem by nature, Spinel is second to none at learning and retaining information. At this point in her existence, Spinel is a walking database of information, both on gems and many species that gems have been in contact with.
Backstory: Spinel was created many thousands of years ago, and is among the few remaining Era One White Spinels. While every White Spinel is expected to be able to suppress their emotions to a degree, in order to serve in their intended capacity as recon gems, Spinel was a very unique case, displaying no ability to feel emotion at all. Initially this was seen as a serious defect, as it severely impaired her ability to make decisions. Early in her life, her lack of any natural survival instinct and inability to make even basic decisions on her own nearly led to her being labeled as defective and scrapped. This was never done, however, after Spinel demonstrated her ability to flawlessly recall and carry out the orders of her superiors. Despite everything else, it seemed that she did at least have one natural instinct, that being to follow orders.
As Spinel gained more experience, she became well known as a consultant of sorts, and her presence was often requested along with that of a Sapphire when preparing for an important mission: the Sapphire for her ability to predict the future, and Spinel to weigh that information against her extensive knowledge of the past and present. Because of her stealth abilities, she was used as a spy in many missions against the Crystal Gems during the war.
Despite the respect her skills eventually gained her, Spinel never had many friends among gems and didn't usually associate with them. Spinel has always seen herself more as a piece of technology than a true individual, and has never taken issue with being treated as such. In addition, even those who were familiar with her often found her presence unsettling due to her behavior. Between missions, Spinel has been known to merely stand silently in one place for days unless told to do otherwise, and never engages in conversation that doesn't relate to a mission.
Either by his personal request, or because the Diamond Authority decided she would be a good fit, Spinel has been assigned to Bloodstone for his current mission to Earth.

@Kronshi Okay, like I said in the other thread, I'd like to continue the tradition of me playing a Homeworld gem and hope you'll allow me to. To help switch things up, I'd like to try having Spinel play for the Homeworld side and I think she'll compliment Bloodstone nicely.

Boop. Like I said in the other thread I'm up for this too. If possible I'd like to keep Spinel and Chromite.
@HaltingBlooper She sounds like every fast character ever.
@Akayaofthemoon Wow, a lot has happened in the past day or so. I'm really glad that you aren't giving up and you can bet I'll sign up for this one too! It might take me a minute because of Christmas season stuff and some end of semester goings on, but count me in!
@Kronshi Hm, it's going to be a challenge because I really love Chromite and Spinel and the only other character I've put a lot of time into developing probably wouldn't be right for this RP. Maybe to switch things up a little bit, I could use age-reversed Chromite and Spinel, also known as original Chromite/Spinel? Like, maybe this time around, Chromite could be the young gem who ends up getting found by the Earth group, and Spinel could be the older gem who works alongside Bloodstone. Instead of a soldier like Chromite, she could act as his analyst and adviser.

Aw, but I'm used to being the person to get the last post in these things!
Did I hear video games?! I can't wait until this semester is over so I can experience playing as/killing Sombra in Overwatch!
