Jasper aka Jazz

[Jazz (Jasper)]

Name: Jasper aka Jazz, Muscles, Blue Eyes

Appeared Gender: Female

Appeared Age: 30

Gemstone: Jasper

Gemstone Location: Nose

Faction: Rebel/Crystal Gem

Corrupted: (No)

(If Corrupted) Monster Form: Great North Beast

Appearance: Close to PD's Jasper in size. Jazz possesses a very athletic, muscular build. She stands as tall as PD's Jasper (Whatever that converts to in meters/feet). 

Personality: Compassionate and Wise, Jasper has a different personality than what would be expected from her. She has compassion for all creatures and people, though she is still willing to fight people who would threaten others or herself. Jasper also attempts to keep a cool head about situations and apply a solution after she has thought it over, even if she only thought about it for a moment. When she is in battle she fights ferociously against her opponents, but will switch to defensive fighting if she cannot win a fight with frontal assaults. Jasper would rather befriend someone than fight them but she understands when she needs to fight. Jasper has self confidence issues, she knows she is different and can have her resolve tested if someone pushes her differences as a button to set her off.

Likes/Dislikes:

Likes: Reading/Writing, Learning, Training, Company

Dislikes: Bullies, Being Alone, Home World

Fears: Never Finding a Good Fusion, Being Alone forever, Failing to Save Someone

Weapon: A Helmet: The helmet that Jazz summons is similar to PD's Jasper; It has the contoured shape, similar coloring, and a visor but it has a less exaggerated hammer head.

A Gauntlet: The gauntlet that Jazz summons is a hexagonal shaped piece with knuckles made of hardened glass, like the visor.

A Boot: The boot that Jazz summons is a hexagonal shaped boot that has a semi-hexagon for the foot, and it has small spikes made of hardened glass to help with traction.

Ability 1: Diverse Dash: Jasper uses the traditional Quartz Spin Dash in tandem with her weapons to create options for herself in combat.
Each special spin dash can only be used every 2 posts.

Helmet: The spin dash is now able to impact harder, allowing it to break through tougher resistance. (If a basic spin dash could break through 5 feet of rock, the helmet version can go through 8-10 feet.)

Gauntlet: The spin dash now is harder to stop, Jasper can keep using the spin dash, after being hit with an attack that would normally stop her, one time during the current spin dash.

Boot: The spin dash is now more controlled, allowing for sharper turns. The spin dash can be used to dodge an attack once in a while (Two posts).

Ability 2: High Durability: Jasper is able to withstand more punishment than other Quartz Warriors. Jasper can keep herself from poofing by normal means for 2 posts. (Normal means are physical harm, being stabbed or struck, and gem destabalizers) After she reforms, Jasper cannot use this ability for eight posts.

Fusions: None Yet.

History:
Jasper was made from an Earth Kindergarden, she was inducted into Pink Diamond's forces on Earth and trained like any other Jasper for a time, though she felt in her heart that something might be wrong with what was going on. Her time in training showed that Jasper was less aggressive than most Quartz soldiers and was drilled by her commanders for having a seemingly obvious flaw. Each time she was investigated, nothing came of it and Jasper did her best to push herself in training to show her superiors she was not flawed.
Once Rose Quartz sent her message to all of the Gems she could, Jasper realized that she did not have to sit back and attempt to hide her personality. Jasper took her opportunity from Rose's Message causing confusion and decided to flee from her post into the wilds of Earth. Once she had ensured she was not followed, Jasper had attempted to live on her own for half of a year before she ran into a fusion, whom she did not get the name of. The fusion thought Jasper was a Home World loyalist and became frightened of her and attacked her. Jasper tried to defend herself without retaliating too badly, but was forced to poof the fusion. Once she saw that it was a fusion she was confused and then waited for them to reform. After both gems reformed Jasper explained how she ran away and got to know the gems a bit better. They were a Ruby and an Amethyst; they explained their relationship that they have through fusion. Jasper became fascinated with fusion and decided she wanted to find something like that for herself. When Pink Diamond was rumored to have returned, the fusion fled on her own while Jasper decided to find a new place to hide out and hopes to see her friend again.

Character Arcs: Finding a Good Fusion. Coping with her self esteem issues. Joining the Crystal Gems officially.

((I swear you already made this app.))

I'm not sure about a Boot,a gauntlet and a helmet, as i mention Weapon forms are sorta meant to tie into each other, maybe try and get the stuff aesthetically to link in better, you mention the Helmet design like Jaspers which has a hammer shape and that glass visor to it,so how could you tie that into a gauntlet design (Sorta hexagonal shaped cylinder, with a brass knuckle thing that looks like the visor glass), or how do you tie that into a boot design. (I could maybe sketch up some concepts that may work here).

((I have not submitted before, I just got help making the application.))

Alright, I decided to try and reshape the aesthetics based on what you suggested.

Edited.

With durations for powers and stuff we tend to go with posts, as you have done in the second power, but we also tend to do it with cooldowns, so maybe change it from once every two days to something like (7 posts or until the thread ends, Or just Once per thread).

(If you wanted i could also do a edit/concept for your corrupted form,since each quartz tends to have a slightly different look to there one, i did a similar one for another user called Bumble Bee Jasper.)


Ill run this as accepted,based on your doing that cooldown change i suggested.

[Jazz (Jasper)]

Alright, I would appreciate the concept art for the form.
And I will change it to a cool-down as you suggested. Edited.

((I am working on it,with them though i don't usually just do a straight recolour,i try to tweak aspects of it to have it match a little more with your gem appearance. As can be seen with how the hair is different in the above one.))

Boop

So i added the pattern of your gem onto parts of its body. The Paw pads were meant to parallel your gloves, i decided to have three horns just to be distinct. I had the hair curl around the face a bit more and got rid of the middle bit of hair. Along with this i foofed it up a little,making some hair part thicker to match your hair a little more.Also added the streaks in your gems hair. For the body i went with a tattered look,like the clothes sorta tore and got jumbled as your corrupted.Of course i added your Gem on the front aswell.


The Normal Monster just for comparison of what i changed.

Oh my gosh, that is amazing! The redesign fits really well and brings a unique touch like you said. Thank you so much for putting in the work to do that, I really appreciate it. I will add it to my Bio once I am off of mobile.
