I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

As far as weapons go, can a gem have two weapons if they are not a fusion? For example Garnet has two gloves, but she's a fusion and has two gems. As far as I can tell, all non-fusions have only a single weapon. I don't remember if Pearl dual-wielded swords but if she did, were those 'summoned' weapons, or did she get them from somewhere?

Anyways, I guess my question is, "would it be okay if my character was not a fusion, but had a dual weapon?" (I realize Sard uses dual shuriken, but I just want to know for myself, and am in no way trying to enforce the same restrictions on anyone else's character).



@Pietra, those are really awesome. I'd like to ask if you could draw my character. I am also quite willing to pay for it as a commission if you have some sort of paypal or something (I know a few free-lance artists, so I am aware of the struggles of online artists). If you are willing to do this, the following are my thoughts:

I want my character's gem to be Amber, so I was searching online and happened upon this link. I thought it was cute, and I figured, "I'd like my gem to be female, but look like a young boy", showing a 'cute', somewhat 'scrappy' personality, but not as 'wild' as Amethyst. I want Amber's gem to be in her inner thigh, her weapons will be thigh-high heel boots for kicking. Even though Amber will look like a boy, I want her to present herself as a girl, so she might have a purse, or a hat, maybe wear a simple white dress or something. She walks around barefooted, since summoning her boots on top of shoes would be weird. Of course, being amber, her color scheme would be somewhere in the yellow-orange range, though adding in some other colors is perfectly fine (for color theory reasons). Even though amber is originally from tree sap, I don't want too much of a 'goopy' feel to her. I would like it if her gem had some sort of insect trapped inside, probably a male mosquito (since male mosquitos actually drink tree sap and would most like be caught in the sap and fossilized). Don't make the design too 'bug-like' either, though a subtle bug-theme would be good, just keep it subtle. Definitely don't do horizontally striped black and yellow leggings because 'OMG bees, tree sap is totally honey lol' seems like the easiest go-to option and the least inspired. And no wings, since when has a gem had wings? (you stay out of this, Lapis!).

So yeah, something along those lines, I hope my criteria aren't too vague or demanding or contradictory. Again, I totally want to compensate you for this work, since what you've shown definitely looks like its worth paying for.
Not to be a stickler or ignorant, but who's Prosopite? I thought the one with Jasper was called Peridot.
Joining in from the other defunct interest check. I would be fine with either, maybe slight leaning to B. I'd play a fan-gem regardless.
My dad's visiting right now so I probably won't be able to get a post in until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hey, my dad came to visit over the weekend, so I may not have time to get any posts up for a few days, though I'll try if I get a good chunk of free time. Can't tonight, just picked him up super late at the airport and I'm tired.
Thinking about my character and wanted some clarification on Gems. Each one has an associated weapon, but does each one have a specific power? For example, Garnet has Future-Vision, Lapis Lazuli seems to be able to control water, and...what else? I am unsure if Peridot's 'abilities' are part of her nature, or just gem technology that she uses. Amethyst transforms a lot, but it is explained that all gems can transform anyways, and Pearl seems to be able to make projections (and murderous robot clones). Steven can create force fields in addition to his weapon being a shield, and has the ability to heal gems.

So I guess my question is, should I come up with an ability for my gem, or is that not something every gem has?

EDIT: I will most likely pick Amber.
I might fast forward to the carrier leaving hyperspace and commencement of the first mission after this unless there was something you wanted to do with your characters.

Also, concerning Asteria's future sentience, do you want me to drive that plot and/or play the artificial personality, or were you going to?
"It seems Mayura's scanning ability is very complex, and depending on which combination of sensors I use, I should be able to detect practically anything. The only problem is knowing what to look for. It also seems like I can update ally combat navigation systems with whatever information I'm getting, so you can see what I see," Tera added.

As for Asteria, its interface seemed to suggest that its ability to scan and repair was based a great deal on the cog-scan, even to the point of reading personalities. The underlying software of Asteria's healing system was unusually complex and adaptive...intelligent. Claire could also see locked software modules of unknown function that implied some interaction with a 'partner' cog.

Meanwhile, at the rear of the hanger, the doors to the Cadmus Reactor opened, and a large automated pallet slid out carrying bits for Solomon's Legion to replace the ones that Blythe had managed to destroy. The pallet stopped in front of Legion, as robotic arms picked up the bits and slid them into place on Legion.



"I-I'm glad you like it," Israfil said, looking over at Mike and then back out the window. He was feeling calmer now, and wouldn't be as afraid to go out in Orpheus when the time came. "Thank you for spending time with me."
No problem. You take care of what you need to and don't worry about me. I wish you the best, and wait patiently for your return.
Tera bit her lip; she had only intended to criticize herself for what she had said, but had unfortunately made Claire feel bad as well. "Well, your points are still valid," Tera said, trying to reassure Claire, "And caution does not equate suspicion." Tera decided it might simply be better to change the subject, "So, how's training? Getting the hang of the simulation? Most of my sessions seem to be tutorials on all the sensor capabilities."



Israfil followed the map in his drive and led Mike to a hallway that did actually have windows. Looking out, it was an empty expanse of space, a sphere about a kilometer in radius around the formation of four ships. Surrounding this sphere was a translucent barrier with a bright, iridescent shimmer that created a streaking rainbow effect as the stars of the galaxy zoomed past. At the front of the hyperspace bubble, the destination could be seen, obscured by an aurora spray, while behind, the planet they had left could be also seen, crowned by a similar aurora effect. Due to the spacefolding phenomenon, both the destination and the origin would be visible for the entirety of the jump. Israfil had never seen this before except when he had gone out training just a bit ago, but didn't have time to appreciate it. He smiled to himself as he stared out at the wonderful display of color, feeling a bit embarrassed, because he had been mocked before for appreciating natural beauty. Despite this, he felt he had to show Mike, even if Mike would think of him as 'girly' from now on.
