@Saltwater ThiefYou got plenty of time, bud. I might not be posting until Thursday night, all things considered. School is a bitch, and I can't wait till I'm done with it.

The City of Gems

@Archmage MCTry Warlocks from Destiny. Minus the helmet, it should match the genetral aesthetic you're going for.

The City of Gems

@BrassOtterI like it, gives Reggiue a reason to not hole up in his lab alone for ungodly lengths of time. He also has access to huge fundings for projects due to his father's achievements and his own, so Carmen will be able to build some pretty neat stuff.

The City of Gems

@BrassOtterOh. . . now I feel kinda bad for unintentionally taking the idea(but hey, great minds think alike, amirite) but many thanks for the compliment. Maybe I could help you come up with another idea for a Gem, since you've had the idea for Selenite for a long time and it'd be a pity not to take the chance to get a gem spot.

The City of Gems

Okay, I've written up an idea that came to mind for the Combat Protocol, as well as some background stuff on how these Gems work that should provide some interesting plot and character moments. I've also got two pics for how she looks in place, so can you guys tell me which one you like better? I have a preference, but it's not a particularly large one, so I want to see what you all think about it.

@Akayaofthemoon@KronshiJudge away, and I hope you both still like it. Should also be a bit less of a burden on Kronshi as far as fusions go, as you can put it down to aesthetic/functional differences in the armor in accordance with the added weapon. Always thinking about you, man!

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.

Reposting this all because I think you guy's missed it. Is Seraphinite good to go or no?

The City of Gems

@BrassOtterSInce I'm positively bringing Reggie back, want them to be actual inventor bros this time around?

The City of Gems

Sorry for the double post, but damn did that turn out to be long. A lot longer than I initially planned.

Fun Fact The Max level a seraphinite will attain is determined at the beginning of it's gestation period, as they tend to be more resource intensive to grow the higher level they'll becomme. A Six wing Seraphinite is very re and extremely valuable once they reach their highest level of functionality.

[Leave the hurt behind] Raijinslayer x Earlymorninstar [18+]

Exhaustion. That was the very first thing Jaden felt as conscious thought filtered in. He felt as if he'd run 10 marathons in a row and could hardly move a muscle, not even to open his eyes. Everything hurt. Especially his lower half. That hurt immensely. With a low groan of effort, he tried to push himself up with his elbows. That failed miserable, barely getting him up a full centimeter before he felt his body give out. It did, however, serve to bring his attention to something else. The shifting surface of fabrics meant he was in a bed, the totality of this feeling meant he was naked, and the feeling of weight upon his body meant he wasn't alone. Someone else was there, someone that he could feel was decided female, and their limbs and body were entangled with his own.

This discovery, understandably, left Jaden rather panicked, though his body couldn't very well express this emotion, still too drained to so much as shiver. At this moment, Jaden had a rather good idea of the type of activity he must've been participating in, and as he took in a deep breath through his nose in another attempt to right himself, he smelled it. The musty smell of sex and sweat permeated the air in thick, lewd layers. This identification brought with it a new sense of alarm, panic, and with it, energy. With a jolt, he bolted upright, eyes snapping open as his mind raced. He feared that in his sleep, Asmodeus had somehow taken control again and forced him to commit more debauched actions. But then he recognized the make-up of the walls, the decor of the room and, when turning his eyes downward, the person at his side.

"C-C-C-CLARA!?! WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!" He let out a yell, a decision that was immediately regretted as his head rang with the sound of my own voice. Gripping my head, I struggled to separate myself from her, the momentary burst of anger slipping back into confusion and fear of what he might have done. "Agh . . I-I'm sorry for yelling, I just- I don't know what happened? Last thing I remember was writing some . . . things on my desk, then everything starts going fuzzy. There was a-a voice and, uh, . . . and . . ." Jaden's face scrunched up in confusion as he struggled to remember any of the events that might've led him to this current situation, but instead all he got in return was an even bigger headache. Turning his attention to Clara, sapphire eyes filled with guilt, sorrow, and hope for forgiveness as he realized what must've happened.

"Oh god. . . It happened again. I promised I'd protect you from him and it happened again on the very next night." Tears began to streak down Jaden's face as he held himself, backing away from Clara as he curled into a ball, hands in his face as he lamented his lack of control. "How could this happen? I didn't drink anything, I didn't even thing about any debauched actions. I just wanted to make things up to you and now. . . now I've simply made the problem worse. What kind of pathetic man breaks his promise to protect someone the day he makes it?" Jaden would continue to lament his own weakness and foolishness as he tried to curl in on himself even more, unable to cope with the thought that he had once more hurt the only person he truly cared for.

Question: How close are all your characters in relation to each other? I thought Ryu and what not went off to find the people they're talking to currently or something of that nature? Are they all in the same area?
