Prism

[Prism]

Name: Prism
Appeared Gender: Agender

Appeared Age: 20

Gemstone: Glass Prism

Gem Location: Forehead 

Corrupted: Not currently corrupted, but will be eventually become White Light to tie into cannon.  It looks like this if you're curious.


Appearance:  Colored accents can change hue.  Yellow is the default/social mode color

SPOILER: Click to show

Personality: Reasoning and methodical, Prism is more like a computer than a gem.  They often have trouble expressing and understanding emotion, which is one of the reasons pearls and peridots are preferred over the artificial gem. Prisms are pre-programmed to seek out and serve a master gem. Their masters are usually assigned to them upon creation, but they will seek one out if they are left on their own.

 Eager to please, Prism will focus all their attention on whatever task has been presented to them, even if the task is clearly pointless or impossible.   Prism is extremely obedient and will do whatever they are asked.  Paradoxically, they will act on their own initiative only if directly told to do so.   When left with ridiculous problems or left to their own devices they can become quite creative, especially sense they are willing to overstep social boundaries.  

Likes/Dislikes: Likes computers and math, dislikes paradoxical requests. Will Like and Dislike things on command.

Fears: Being shattered, Failing to complete assigned tasks, being abandoned 

Fusion: 

Weapon: Does not have a weapon, but can shoot beams of light and summon holographic light creatures.

Ability 1:  Light Creature Spawn:  Works like a Pearl hologram, but instead of a holographic copy of Prism it spawns in a light creature.  These creatures are usually large insects, birds, or fish.  Prism can summon up to 4 of these at a time, depending on the size of the creature.  Larger creatures can take around 3 hits to defeat while the small ones can be dealt with in one blow. This ability can be used when Prism is in their gem form if another gem is holding Prism.  When used in this way, the power of the light creatures is dependent on the power of the gem using it, and the light creatures will obey the gem using Prism as if they where the Prism. 

Ability 2: Light Cannon:  It's a big old laser beam my friend. The laser has a 40 ft range, a 2 foot diameter and takes about 6 or 7 seconds to charge. This attack can burn through most terrain(burns up to 4 feet through most objects). Using this attack is stressful on Prism's body and takes a long time to charge.  Though it does a lot of damage, it also damages Prism.  The color of the laser beam will match whatever color Prism's accents are, but this is purely cosmetic. 

History: Gem production takes a long time, and there is always a high demand for servants and technicians.  Because of this, Homeworld decided to produce artificial gems out of a glass-like material.  Though Prisms where faster to make than normal gems, there where man problems with their production.  The material used to create these fake gems is fragile and thus Prisms are very likely to break, even just from routine use over time.  It was also noted that their apathetic and artificial feeling behavior made them rather off-putting and undesirable.

 The one true advantage to the Prisms was in their gem form, they could be used by powerful gems to summon light creatures to serve them or aid them in battle. After facing multiple roadblocks, production of prisms by Homeworld was halted. Prism is one of the few of their kind left.  

Prism came to earth as a servant to Blue Diamond, and served as an assistant to her technicians.  After noticing divergent behavior in Prism, one of the Peridots had them retreat to their gem until they could be observed by a gemeticist.  Earth fell into chaos before this observation could take place, and for a while, Prism was used as a gem weapon against the Rebels.  During a battle, Prism was dropped and forgotten.  
Eventually, Prism returned to their physical form and began to seek a gem to serve.

Your gonna have to be a bit more specific then technician/servant functions. As mentioned gems on here get two unique abilities (Their is no shortage of example in the accepted characters section).

Already on the site its actually been established that Glass are pretty much the 'poor-mans pearls'. So either you had read about that or it was a piece of luck that you jumped to this conclusion. So one would assume you have utility based abilities (Ie Pearl can store objects in her gem and create holograms). So using Pearls as a example again the formatting for a ability would go like this

Ability 1:Holograms
Pearl is able to generate light construct holograms at will. These holograms are blue in colour and seem to replicate the appearance of Pearl (apart from the aforementioned blue colouring). They function like solid objects,being able to interact with things. They follow Pearl and do whatever she requires of them, although they are rather fragile and can easily be destroyed in a few hits they still show some degree of combat intelligence. Pearl is able to summon 4 at once.

It just got lucky with the glass thing. I elucidated upon the abilities, let me know if I need to edit anything else.

What is the Diameter and range of the lazy beam,charge up time? Does it burn through terrain?

Also if you were not already aware the past has played out differently on here than it did in the show. Mainly the gem war that occurred 6000 years ago on the show has not occurred yet and the 'rebellion' is only a few months to a year old (And Homeworld is not even aware of the resistance yet because all communication between Homeworld and Earth were cut off about two years ago and have not be restored).

So your history can still work but be aware that fighting the rebels being poofed would have to have happened only a few months (3 to 6) at the very earliest.

I made some changes to the lazy specs. I've never rped on a site that really helped with character creation, this is really nice! I appreciate your help!

Your Should See Some Other Apps I've Written In

Things tend to turn into wall of texts whenever i help with histories or personalties XD.

Now what was I do-


Right, if it can burn though terrain it probably needs some sort of limited range (maybe like 40 feet?).

[Prism]

I spaced the history out so it's easier to read, and took your advice on the range :3
Thank you for the help

[njrk97]

Should be the final thing, your personality is rather short.

Now you saw yourself how much i tend to make walls of text when i help people with personalties(Its mainly because i deconstruct and go through my own thought process along with deconstructions their current personality to see how they can expand the traits they already have and create new ones).Do you want to subject yourself to one of those? Or try and extend it yourself.

Also other major factor,you not allowed to RP UNTIL this app is accepted.I wont delete your posts as it would destroy the flow of the thread for other members, but you should refrain from posting until this app is accepted.

[Prism]

I added to the personality bit, but it's been a long day so tell me if I missed anything or contradicted myself anywhere.

Also sorry about that, I misunderstood that rule when I initially posted. I've purposefully refrained from having the character interact with other characters until this app is accepted. I'm super sorry about that.

[njrk97]

You just need some character arcs now (as explained on the template).

[Prism]

I added some arcs, though i don't really know much of what to put i usually spring my arcs of of interactions with others. If you think i need more, could you give me some suggestions?

[njrk97]

Character arcs were originally implemented to try and lessen the haemorrhaging of members by forcing people to have at least some plan for what they are going to do on the RP, instead of just idling around and having no goal. Thats why i like people to have some, it shows you have some form of a plan.

accepted.
