Interest Check - Steven Universe: The Crystalcide Wars

[leska]

Homeworld has lost its grasp on many of its colonies across the galaxy as a group known as the Crystal Gems have fought against the Diamond Authority. Many colonies were divide as word of the defeat of Yellow Diamond at the hands of Rose Quartz (Steven) and the Crystal Gems had shook the entire matriarchy. Some gems realized that they could be more than just what they were bred for, they were writers of their own fate and would not be pawns of the diamonds no more. Those loyal to the homeworld fought in the name of the Diamond Authority and enforced their laws, while others created their own rebellions for their freedom and fought. This was only the beginning of the Crystalcide War.

Very interested!

Should we be trying to create our own gems or try our hand at making another of the same caste as one of the Crystal Gems (like another Pearl, Amethyst, Peridot, etc.)?

[leska]

You can make anything you want :3 even original gems

I feel that I'm not getting a lot of responses cause either people don't know enough
About it or they're already full up on roleplays. Lol bright side is that this will be alright if you're new to the Steven universe scene! since I'm pretty much making a new team who are just realizing their freedom.

I've been getting more into Steven Universe lately. Are you planning on doing this in MURPG or some other, possibly more freeform, system? How do you plan on handling fusions? Could a character be a permafusion of two lesser characters?

[leska]

i was planning MURPG style since its the only i know well enough to do. Fusion has been a bit of an odd thing to work with cause literally anything can happen but at the same time its completely up to the GM on what the fusion will be, so kinda makes it easier in a way? But I think with a Fusion i would add a kind of timer that would be an average of the two characters; intelligence and then that rounds down into the max amount of panels they can be their fusion for. Though, i may do this differently cause I may have mental "damage" like self doubt or something along those lines shorten the fusion time or completely break the fusion. something different. As for a permafusion, I'd allow it but if they ever defused you would need to have 2 other cads ready of lower powered gems and they would have to have some kind of "need" for the other and feel only half of who they are. Hope that makes sense? xD Still working on the fusion concept.

New Action:

Fusion Dance: AN + 4

Whether its between similar gems or lovers, two gems can undergo a fusion dance and combine their power and strength together in order to become a entirely new gem all together! Fusion Dance is an ability that all gems possess but very few dare to use with someone who, well isnt like them. When gems are fused between two players, they act as one character, each being allotted 1 action per panel as a fusion. While fused abilities, actions, and modifiers are dropped in favor of the highest between the two. A fusion gains a signature weapon that is made from the two fusers already existing weapons, this weapon's aspects are the highest of each. The fusion created also gains a third pool called "Fusion Pool". This pool's stone count is equal to 1/2 (rounded down) of the gems' intelligence and social skills combined. This pool represents how long a fusion can stay together. The Fusion Pool loses 1 stone per panel and once there are no stones left, the fusion is broken and the two gems return to their normal selves. However, the fusion pool's stone cane be "damage" by psychic attacks or mental damage, causing the fusion to fall apart much faster.

Rules:
Combines the highest Abilities/Actions/Modifiers of two gems into a Fusion.
Fusion gains weapon that is the best aspects of both weapons.
Players fused have only 1 action each.
Fusion Pool = 1/2 Intelligence and Social Skills (rounded down) from both gems then added together.
Duration of Fusion = Stones in Fusion Pool

Example:

Lapis Lazuli has an Intelligence of 4 and Social Skills of 2 and Peridot Intelligence of 6 and Social Skills of 2 both attempt a fusion dance together. As they fuse into Turquoise, the fusion gains the highest abilities, actions, and modifiers between them both. As well as gaining a Fusion Pool of 7.
