@Spinna@Archmage MC@BCTheEntity

Mind you, I am sick and sleep deprived (dang you anxiety disorder, damn you and causing me insomnia so bad that I'm on anti-psychotics to put me to sleep which are failing that I can't legally take a higher dose of due to a lack of actual psychosis) so my analytical skills may not be up to par right now, but I don't really have any further comment that before when Py, you, and I discussed it privately. Though I understand your concern, BC, a lot of SU overlooks physics - It's a children's show featuring light projecting space rocks with mass, and I doubt Arch meant to use physics realistically as a 'get-out-of-jail-free-card' to make their gem OP.

If toning it down would make you feel better, neither I, the other GMs, or Archmage have an issue with it, and it might be best solely because they are a younger gem, but as a whole I see no huge issue.

And as Spinna mentioned, the three of us were not GMs in the original. We've been around the group for a long time, sure, almost three years now. Long enough to generally pick up when we don't believe something will work out. And if any problems do arise, there's no issue in letting Arch know later on - we don't bite and we value communication. :P

I'll be honest, I just wanted to go on a long rant about science stuff. Apparently, that involved going off at Archmage for the lack thereof, despite SU's inherent principle of "magic space rock lesbians". My apologies if things have gotten, uh, out of hand, especially the assumption that Marry was previously GMed as okay by you guys. Just be aware that stuff like that can be abused to high heaven.

@BCTheEntity Again, I understand your concern, but we've had no big issues with Arch in the past, and we aren't applying hard physics here anyhow, for obvious reasons. Plus, if we did, we'd be isolating a lot of people from partaking in the RP, myself included, whether that be from not having a heavy science background (such as myself) or due to being younger (such as therollingboy). If we feel someone's abusing their powers, we'll call them out on it. O v O b

@Spinna@The1Rolling1Boy Spinna won't be the only one playing a big bad. I'll be playing a few minor bads, as well as another big bad. *Rubs hands together*

@BCTheEntity I'm glad that we were able to settle everything. Please believe that me and the other GMs will definitely stop any OP behavior if we see it happening in the RP.

@UnknownScarlet4 We're glad to take all the new players we can get!

You know, thats a good question. Will they ever introduce a male gem? I don't think so tbh, as it seems Gems haven't evolved in awhile according to the show, and you need males/multiple genders to evolve. Sure you can do creative evolution instead of natural selection, but the latter leads to random mutations that no one could forsee as beneficial.

Interestingly enough, Ian Jones-Quarty said on Twitter that while all gems are born looking feminine, male gems could exist, if they were poofed at some point and decided to re-form as male, and stayed that way. Kind of like how Amethyst has a "male" form with the Purple Puma. Gems still wouldn't evolve though, since they're synthesized in the ground and only one of them has ever sexually reproduced and probably don't have DNA.

@Archmage MC@The1Rolling1Boy I figure male gems would be considered 'trans' by gem standards, and that the gems only go by she/her pronouns due to how other sexed species perceive them, as they are, after all, genderless.

Plus, there's this:

Gem: Ivory

Name if your gem goes by a different name: Ivy

Appearance: I also have other outfits ready for when she ultimately poofs!

Powers:


Psammokinesis: Psammokinesis, as shown in the picture, is the ability to control sand and is a crucial part of Ivory’s being. Further explained below.
- Alone, she can generate enough sand from her gemstone to create a weapon of her choice, though this is more often than not a single crescent sword. Or, if she chooses, the sand is used to create tools that she can use to fix various Homeworld tech, being more effective in this manner than with regular tools that Homeworld has created.

- Often, she can also use the sand as a means of transportation, enveloping her feet with the sand and simply directing it around instead of having to walk. Though, she doesn't really remember this.

-When in the presence of sandy areas, such as a beach or desert, things can get hectic. She has a decent control over sand, similar to Lapis, but not as strong as Lapis as she cannot drastically shift around the sand such as Lapis did with her water, along with creating clones and being relatively unstressed. More often than not, she’ll instead create temporary cover from attacks with the sand in these locations, or simply use them as a faster means of transportation by carrying her around. Or, she would simply create sand weapons or tools that are more intricate for herself to use. All of these creations, however, are just temporary solutions, as they will eventually collapse back down and resettle.

Items: More often than not, Ivory will attempt to create a surprisingly sturdy sword made of sand, however, she can change the weapon or tool so long as it isn’t extremely complex or long, as she requires more sand the more she wishes to add. So, she can create things like compact gauntlets, or substitute her sword for daggers, maybe a hammer or screwdriver, but since she isn’t used to such a concept nor has she tried, it’s out of the question.

Backstory: Ivory’s are created as one of homeworld’s pathfinders, meant to scout potential gem-worthy planets and see if the planet is a suitable gem colony location, along with being navigators in space and simple engineers. This makes them adept at exploring worlds and explaining various aspects that a planet can have, and more importantly, how or if it can be important to homeworld. This particular Ivory was chosen to help assist the group by finding a suitable location to land safely to check on the cluster, and if trouble were to occur to fix it. And while she has little to no real combat experience, she is more than eager to try and prove herself like Ivory’s before her.

Writing example:

Today was the day… Oh boy, today was the day. A sole Ivory gem had begun the long walk, or at least she felt it that way, from her current station towards the ship that would be departing for Earth soon. And, she was going to be on it! It was like a dream come true for her. Exploring new worlds was what an Ivory was made for, and while this one, or at least in the reports she read, wasn't particularly new, it was in terms of recent knowledge and she would get to see it firsthand. It was going to be an adventure, at least if the gems in charge would let her have one that is. In fact, she wasn't really sure who would be involved in this mission to check on the cluster, and all she knew was that they'd be useful in locating it, herself included. And, while that was somewhat scary, it was that tense feeling, that fear of failure, that made this entire situation memorable for her.

Lost in thoughts, Ivory had not been paying attention when she ran into one of the doors on her station, causing her to jolt backward from surprise, only to facepalm moments afterward at her own lack of awareness. "Shake it off Ivy... You got this, you'll be fine." She told herself, taking a couple moments to regain her composure as she opened the door, revealing an elevator esque design that would take her to the docking bay. As the door closed behind her, Ivy stared off into the beautiful abyss that was gem space, taking notes on the station design that she had seen a thousand times in her head. She definitely wanted to compare whatever Earth had with what Homeworld had, that was for sure.

And, in these moments, it let her look at her notes one last time of Earth. There wasn't much, really. This station had a lot of new gems on it, and those that had existed in Era 1 never really talked about Earth, or dared to for that matter. And those that did didn't have much to say except that it was an awful place, with awful things and awful actions... The only thing they ever agreed on, she learned, was that one of the Diamonds, one that existed before she existed, was shattered there on her own colony. Ivory was certain that, if maybe they had sent an Ivory to investigate the planet and solve issues, this wouldn't have happened. But, she supposed that was why she was being sent now, right? To keep the spirits up and stay positive, to remind them that the diamonds are counting on them, and to get some firsthand experience out on a foreign planet. Who knows, Ivory thought, maybe she'd get to explore an extremely new planet if she did well here! Ah, the thought just made her happy with anticipation to get praise. And if things went south, she was basically made to fix problems anyway so they'd be fine.

It didn't take her long to be snapped back into reality when the door opened in front of her, making a loud ding sound as it did so. Taking several deep breaths before exiting the elevator, she strode off to her destination, looking up at the gem who had been guarding the ship... It was most likely an amethyst or something, she didn't really know. Creating a diamond with her arms, as per custom, the seriousness faded from her face as she gave a confident smile at them instead.

"Ivory, reporting for duty. This... this is the right ship, isn't it?"

Anything extra you'd like to add: The diamond she was made to serve was White Diamond.

I hope this is all alright. I had originally just made her a pathfinder for the group, but we have several scouts already that I didn't really want to lose that part of her or change it, but I thought we needed a little bit of variety so I made her somewhat savy with technology, using her sand manipulation to create tools instead of homeworld tech, if that makes sense.

Though, if that isn't fine, I can change it!

@Archmage MC I like her! Just one thing, I know we've talked a lot about the portals already and I really hate to trouble you but there's one last thing I'd like changed: the "cutting in half" ability shouldn't be able to work on other characters, especially not if the portals can exist in air since that basically gives Marry the ability to straight-up execute people with a thought. I'm sure that wasn't your intention but yeah. How about the portals interact differently with solidified light (gems) and biomatter, i.e. they can't close over living things.
