The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Lovejoy GACK missed half my post. accentuating it...she probably wears some things that match any other colors on the uniform, when not out on missions (so like training and stuff, and light duty things, or formal occasions). If she could get away with it, she'd replace the red stitching with orange, but she probably can't. And a white or dappled blue-gray cloak would be helpful, especially since it's harder to see from a distance against the snow. On duty in the field, practicality comes first, of course.

@Lovejoy oh of course, though she does have that extra armor, as mentioned.

@Mercenary Lord I was informed that science is wonky, but I imagine thermodynamics is more a matter of energy and less one of heat. I would think that chemical reactions and using magic to turn something with a high ether potential into a form that can be used would both be effective.

@Lovejoy Actually not all that much. She avoids black like the plague, though. As well as anything too intensely colored. She favors fire-tones, so red, orange, yellow -- nothing overwhelmingly bright, though, more like the soft colors in that other pic that I posted -- and then she's really fond of desaturated greens and blues, which accent her hair and eyes. She does like and wear white, but not predominantly. More for balance so she's not too bright. And she likes a variety of patterns, but tends to wear things that are tight about the waist, and either loose or somehow emphasizing shoulders/bust on top, and then the wide pants or something loose and flowy on the bottom, so that it can flare out. Because the best way to look like have a figure is to accent the narrowest part of your body and add to the widest part. ^.^

@Mercenary Lord Combustion is not a thing. Heat and light both require ether to happen. Flame doesn't exist. Most fossil fuels are burned, so they wouldn't be used. The workshop forge, as I've imagined it, probably uses some form of ether or something but is probably called "coals" all the same. You might be able to harness chemical reactions of other types for power, and boiling water with ether-generated heat to make steam can give steam power. So much of it is blood or extracted from blood, I think. Animals slaughtered for food can have their ether extracted first, ad there might even be a way to keep it being from so much pain for them? It's possible that future research (or current but little publicized research) has discovered ways to put one's own ether into a storage state, for later use, or something less...ah...dramatic.

@Draken Well no, not 70 degrees...but I imagine it feels "normal" to our chars. ^.^ And lies, that's a nice symbol!

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Drakey I might just try to draw him too~ Maybe. We'll see. My regular pencil is being a butt and gouging my paper, and I'm not sure why. *sighs* Might be time for a new one, but I don't know if I /have/ another HB. I'll have to look.

Anyhow, been up all night. Time to sleep for shy! *passes out*

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@CollectorOfMyst I've got no problems with it. I just find it funny. Also I've been up all night so I'm even more easily amused than usual. ^.^;;

TFW most of them are not native Varyans *amused*

@Lovejoy@Drakey I accidentally a thing. <.> I can see what her clothes are in my mind, but they kinda failed to translate...even though that was the whole point of this exercise....whatever. x.x

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@vietmyke She could use other things, most likely. She uses force to accelerate the object, so in theory it could be anything, but she finds darts most effective, since they're easiest for her to aim at that size.

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@vietmyke his slugs are like Ziotea's darts! ^.^
