Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@LmpkioNot much, really. Just people interacting with each other, asking people to the ball, and other such things. Argus is looking for Marlene at the moment, and is asking Rose and her group if they know where she is?

@HaltingBlooperThen possible some form of stealth-based power? Like dampening people's ability to notice him or Active-Camo?

The City of Gems

@HaltingBlooperWell, is it a frontline warrior gem, or something more sneaky? I'm thinking the latter with the passive you've given him, but I want to make sure before I suggest anything.

The City of Gems

Can someone help me figure out a way to weaponize the wings for my character's 'Combat Protocal' power without making it too complex? I really like this idea, but I think I might have to scrap it to something else if I follow my current train of thought.

Here's what I have so far:

Seraphinite

Newborn CS

Name(s): Seraphinite, Sera, Seraph, Phini
Gem:
Appearance:

Picture #1(The one I like)

Picture #2

Gem Placement: Upper Back
Gem Item: Ethereal wings of sorts, covered in a number of 'eyes'. In Sensory mode, they're Sera's prime method of gathering visual sensory information, or 'sight'. She is effectively blind until she can summon her wings, of which there are three levels of power for. These are indicated by the number of wings a Seraphinite possesses.

2 wings: 360 degree vision, parascopic vision(she can zoom in like a camera), and higher levels of mental processing power to deal with the constant influx of information from so many angles.

4 wings:TBD

6 wings:TBD

When switched to Combat Protocol, the wings lose their sensory capabilities in exchange for use as offensive and defensive systems, as well as giving sight back to Sera's regular eyes, so as not to leave her at a significant disadvantage. The energy that makes up the wings shifts into a solid, durable metallic substance that is capable of fusing with a willing Gem Body, strengthening it's defensive and offensive capabilities.
The substance's natural state is liquid, and thus, is able to change form fluidly and swiftly, and if it ever leaves Sera's control, returns to it's liquid state. The substance is also programmable, just like a Gem's energy body, and thus can be given simple commands such as 'Attack', 'Defend', or 'Return'. More complex instructions can be given at higher levels, but not by any greatly varying degrees.

Level 1(2 Wings, though often referred to as 'Wingless'): At this level, enough substance is created to form Sera's armor, which not only provides a good amount of defensive capabilities, especially against environmental hazards and energy-based attacks thanks to the refractive shielding and filtration systems, but it also can shift the Gem body in such a way that the arms and legs can be turned into simple, close-range weapons, such as blades, and back again. These give Sera a great deal of flexibility in combat when it comes to engagements, as well as possibly surprising the enemy.

Note: The wings can also be used in a purely offensive fashion, changing into large, simple blades that can be swung around telekinetically, but given the weak constitution of the base Seraphim form, this is not a likely course of action to expect from a fully-functioning Seraphinite Enforcer.

Level 2(4 Wings):

Level 3(6 Wings):

Note that since Sera's weapon is essentially her power, she won't have access to anything but 2 wings at the start. Any added powers she grows into will come from her wings
Powers: Seraphinites lack a concrete definition of powers, so to speak, but instead have more highly functional weapons than most gems to make up for this deficit. Also unlike most gems, all Seraphinites have the same weapon, their wings, but the aesthetics of these wings and higher level abilities are variable between each and every individual unit.
Other: Seraphinites are the enforcers and Top-class guardians of the Diamond authority, built with one design objective in mind: Seek and Destroy. To facilitate this philosophy, their form is split between to systems.

The Sensory system abilities tend to focus less on combat and more on information gathering, higher sensory awareness, and scouting. As the base system that Seraphinites take, it also has all of the personality systems in place, enabling them to make good secondary leaders with excellent judgement calls, reading the flow of the battle with utmost accuracy and giving their advice to the commandant in charge.

Alternatively, there comes the point where they must seek out the conflicts that they find, and this is where the Combat system;s take over. Sensory information is minimized to the workable minimum, personality is limited to the absolute minimum, memory is stored away till Sensory is reactivated, and the target(s) are identified When Combat Protocol is activated, the Seraphinite will activate it's energy conversion matrix to form the Specialized material of Seraphinium, infuse it into the fragile base form to bring it up to code for a warrior gem, and engage the foe until either they are subdued. This gem will feel no pain, will feel no fear, will have no sense of true self-presevation, only harm avoidance to keep it fighting longer. They will keep in fighting and fighting and fighting until they are shattered/poofed. They no longer are a Gem, but a highly-tuned battle machine that will only stand down when commanded by their given commander, which leads into another component of the Seraphinites.

When a Seraphinite is deployed, they have two designations that they are compelled to make: A Designated Superior and a designated Person/place of interest. The Superior has complete control over the Serpahinite unit while they are under Combat Protocol, with the only way to override their command being the authority of a Diamond. Even when not in Combat Protocol, the words of theSuperior holds a certain amount of weight in the Seraphinite's mind, and it takes a lot of will power to resist the urge to obey.

The P.o.I is something that the Seraphinite must protect at all cost, including it's own life. Often, when said P.o.I is placed in danger, that is when Combat Protocol is initiated, after sufficient data has been obtained. The desire to protect the P.o.I. is the only other thing that can interfere with the order of the Superior, if the two happen to be at odds with each other. If such a thing does occur, then the unit is often given to lean towards their main directive in these cases, which is to protect their objective. However, this isn't a sure thing, as it happens about half of the time, while the other half results in the system following the orders of the Superior.

@Archmage MCIt's more to do with what Akaya stated about Kronshi being much more discerning about powers than she is. However if you want to be on the Rebelluon side, then what you have should be fine, though we already have a staff wielder at the moment.Akaya may have a few thinks to say, but the idea seems workabke.

That being said, I'm not a GM, so probably best to wait on them and what not.

Edit:Doesn't have to be purely scientific, though straight up magic should peobably be avoided

The City of Gems

@Archmage MCSup MC, and quick qyestion, Homeworld or Rebellion? Cause that really does make a difference in just how specific you need to be, though I think you shoukd still elaborate on how you plan to enact said abilitiea, so the GM's have a better idea on what they're dealing with.

The City of Gems

@AkayaofthemoonI've decided on Seraphinite for my gem, andit's going to be a newborn. Idea i'm running for powees are a passive focused on the senses, switching between a combat form and a sensory form, and her weapons being her wings.

Crystal Universe

@KronshiAnd since no-canon gems, that's a negatory. Too bad, so sad, thanks for the quick response. Also glad that I saved what I had written for my previous post, so expect that up soon-ish.

Edit: Actually, nix that. I kinda overwrote it . . . fuck.

Edit Edit: Post will, after such a crippling example of stupidity and short-sightedness, be delayed until maybe tomorrow, possible tuesday. Nothing kills your mood to write the deleting what you had.

The City of Gems

Hey, in lieu with Kronshi's suggestion, I'll be dropping my gem, so if anyone wants to use Tiger's Eye, Marra Mamba, and that other one from the backstory, then they're completely free to do so. I'm not sure what my Gem will be yet, got to do some researching. Should be up tomorrow at the latest.

Crystal Universe

Spends last hour dealing with bad internet to write post. Now sees that said post is irrelvant. *Internal Screaming*

Ah well, that's the way things be. I'll move on to the new thread then. I'm just glad to get things rolling again.

Edit: Idea popped in that I want to spin: Dragon Eye Opal Perma-fusion. Yay or Nay? Just want to check if I can be given a chance on this before moving on to other things.
