>What is it?
/u/ put their goggles on tight enough that they started shipping personifications of chemical elements, metals in particular. We started from the nuclear family of a Gold/Silver couple and their daughter Copper, and have been slowly expanding out. Done with a mixture involving some amounts of science and additional amounts of "this would be cute" when it comes to establishing an element or couple. The threads have a basic idea(or more) for all of the elements and are now working on expanding relationships, relationship histories, and other personal elements for the lesser known elements. Suggestions are welcome.

Did Iron always have long hair or did she keep it short at one time?

>>2180843
It was always long, or the length was at least not mentioned.

Why the crying? I haven't been able to keep up, has this turned drama?

>>2180874
Some anon mentioned how FeC is almost entirely angst ridden and they weren't fond of it. It led to the artist drawing that up since she loves angst. Might've also helped push for expanding Iron outside of angst

>>2180874
It's all-you-can-eat drama when it comes to FeC.

>>2180880
At least Steel isn't crushing on Iron

>>2180897
>anxiousthallium.jpg

>>2180903
Don't joke, I've been tempted to write a silly one shot about such a thing.
Can't decide if Iron should stop her or get surprised. Better than Carbon and Steel coming onto her I'd say.

>>2180915
Iron realized what was going on at a point, right? She would probably formally reintroduce herself to Steel after apologizing to Carbon, not expecting to be forgiven.

>>2180922
Oh yeah but this would be more of a ones hot about what happened if Carbon was mad at Iron for a more recent reason and didn't get formally introduced. Leading to Steel only knowing Iron as Ferra until she tried to kiss Iron.
Like I said though, such a thing would be a one off if I wrote it.
Oz's story has got me interested in a FeC meeting that I plan on doing after some things.

>>2180926
Now that would be dramatic.

Sounds interesting!

>>2180928
No promises. About anything though.

>>2180937
That's fair.

>tfw didn't notice the new thread was up

Anyway on more meta news, the 4chan divegrass cup is on and C scored for /u/...two times...and even got the MOTM distinction (it was a draw though)

>>2181216
Excellent job, C.

>>2181216
Metal of the Match.

tfw I sneaked in custom goal celebrations for Metall/u/rgy even though they're usually reserved for the medals

>>2181228
Sneaky.

So real dumb question but when posting something in ao3 which tag or code is needed to link things or works?

>>2181361
To link it to the Metall/u/rgy series page? You need to be added as an "author."

>>2181373
Not quite what I meant, but I'll just work around it.

Iron's little misadventure continues since Oz's oneshot got me inspired. Hopefully it isn't too bad
http://archiveofourown.org/works/8471005/chapters/19409029

And since the thread has a certain trend, here's something similar to what I imagine Iron was listening to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mDtHrNihqE

>>2181413
Good character development for Iron and Zinc.

>>2181413
Nickel seems like a bit of a gossip

>>2181413

Wow very good [spoice]nice Pliny reference[/spoiler]

However 1800 words is quite enough to be a standalone work, and if you plan to write more about Fe, you could even make a multi-chapter work dedicated to it with this and your previous work.

Your decision of course

>>2180922
>>2180915
>...You look so much like your mother.

>>2181788

Well that's the standard MO; works are their separate entry, but if you plan a series of short stories you can just make one to avoid cluttering the page like I or KB9 did, but even that is not an obligation

A separate entry for each work also make tags relevant

>>2181789
Alright, you make a good argument. I will probably retool it when I post something else that deals with it. On the topic of something else, what's the word on writing up a profile? I'm slightly tempted to make a rough one for Mithril.

>>2181791

"The word" ?

>>2181793
Fuck I am tired if I messed that up, would there be anything against me writing a profile for mithril?

>>2181795

Absolutely nothing, everybody's welcome to contribute

>Fuck I am tired if I messed that up

Go to bed already, Fe

2MB, 1920x1080px

Also, I'm gonna leave this there

>>2181796
Maybe in a bit. Gotta piece together who else could be thrown under Mithril's relationships beyond the obvious. Only one I'm on the fence about is carbon.

>>2181786
No Iron don't. You'll make Steel's infatuation grow deeper

>>2181800
That would most likely be a "no" on Carbon. Mi's daughter knows her, but other than that there's no connection.

>>2181842
I'd ship it.

Should He be in her 20s or 30s?

>>2182477
Never mind, just checked the chart. Didn't realize it was already set.

Who are Praseodymium's friends? If she has more than one that is.

>>2182665

Does she have friends? She had a girlfriend at one point but that's about it

>>2182683
In theory, her sister and the twins could count. I'm sure one of the city council members could be viewed as her friend. Like how Li and Po became better acquainted through that work or rather the aftermath when they hit up bars.

>>2182665
>>2182685
On some level, she might consider Po a friend.

Either way, Pr and Li would be good additions to Po's profile.

>>2182763
Good point. I would like to throw out that Mithril might be on good terms with Pr if only from Pr using Mi as a facet for the police department and passing along stuff to one of the captains to send up the chain. If she wanted it to be kept quiet and informal.

Better than the idea of Mithril asking Pr about the mayor and being oblivious to the fact that she's talking to her. At first anyway. She'd eventually realize.

>>2182768
That must be the real reason she's on the council!

>>2182770
Who Mithril or Pr? Mithril's reason for being on the council is I think close to treasurer considering she was offered the spot after Silver turned it down. Pr gaining a way to talk to someone in the PD was probably a little bonus she discovered after meeting them at a dinner or something.

>>2182768
>I would like to throw out that Mithril might be on good terms with Pr if only from Pr using Mi as a facet for the police department and passing along stuff to one of the captains to send up the chain. If she wanted it to be kept quiet and informal.

I really, really don't like this idea

>>2182772
For Mi, treasurer would make sense.

>>2182776
Or something close to it. I think Mithril would actually have to work for the city if she was to have the actual title. Depending on if we ever get more in-depth with the metropolis' government. I should stop overthinking things.
>>2182773
Yeah I agree now that I read it again. It doesn't fit the tone of the setting or Pr. Still though, I'm sure Pr is some degree of cordial or friendly with all the people on the council.

>>2182779
Next she just needs to meet a certain scientist.

>>2182783
I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard for Pr to stumble into her cute little granola girl. Maybe a fund raiser or something for Se lead to them meeting earlier before the big issue happens that solidifies it.

>>2182793
Oooh, nice idea.

Was Silicon slated to be the one carrying SiGe? If so I say we should just settle Ge age and say she's in her early forties.

>>2183527

The SiGe situation is pretty much open at the moment

>>2183527
Ge seemed more to be the focus of previous discussion, at 35-40.

>>2183569
>>2183528
Maybe, only reason why I'm suggesting early forties, like 41, would be how they're like an inverse to AlSc. 35~40 is a nice range though.

>>2183579
That is a tempting idea, and still works if she's exactly 40. Either way, it's possible that she carries SiGe.

>>2183587
True enough, though if they're the inverse that might allow for a longer history and some indication that Ge was a bit of a mentor for Silicon and helped cement Silice as the first megacorp depending on when it rose.

Speaking of them, is there some sort of history for their prominence? I've kind of gathered that Aluminium's corp was the most recent one while Silice and Ferric were formed within a yea few years of each other all things considered.

>>2183616
Unless this math is wrong, Silicate, would be, at oldest, around seventeen years old.

>>2183616
>Ge was a bit of a mentor for Silicon and helped cement Silice as the first megacorp depending on when it rose.

Nah, Si is a more efficient superconductor material, so Si has always been more prominent than Ge

>>2183652
Fair point but I was thinking of adminstration sense or just business. Compared to Iron and Al, Sil strikes me as a president that's more in love with doing what the company creates than running it.

>>2183684
>doing what the company creates than running it.

I'd say that ship sailed long ago, Silice having been a big business for long...and then there's the fact that electronics aren't Silice's only activity

>>2183703
Makes sense. Then who should have made the first move considering SiGe are kind of probably secretly making out in Silicon's office during breaks. If they are, I think there was some talk about them already being together compared to AlSc

>>2183709

Si, and for quite some time; Si would be the clearly dominant one and was the one who swept her partner off her feet

Ge would be generally reserved while Si wouldn't

>>2183716
Cute couple.

Does Carbon have any hobbies? If so, are they time consuming or are they manageable timewise?

>>2183948
If she does, probably the second.

>>2183969
One that could be practical and that she may like would be cooking, specifically grilling. Another could be art considering charcoal sketches, graphite, and ink.

>>2183971
Maybe art would be good, because it would be funny if she wasn't good at cooking at all.

>>2183986
I suppose, I still think grilling would be fitting though there could be a joke about every time she tries to cook without a grill she makes charcoal.
What type of art though? Landscapes and portraits that evolved from high school doodling?

>>2183987
>Landscapes and portraits
Yeah, that sounds good.

>>2183971
>charcoal sketches, graphite

Oh yeah great idea

>>2183986

She could be great at BBQs and hopeless are everything else

>>2184116
Would that mean poor Steel had to learn how to cook? You since anything more than a simple meal probably became ash at Carbon's hand

>C is bad at cooking
Makes sense. Ovens, pots and stuff like that are usually made of iron...

>>2184344

Well I guess C knows how to make a carbonara

>>2184348

Cast will be ever better at it

>>2184359
Cast will learn from the best after all. Steel and Iron. I approve of the pun.

Since Carbon and Steel, kind of, are currently the topic. What exactly is Steel's future occupation?

Carbon and Iron in school.

>>2184426
Nice, good use of the hair as well.

Was Mithril ever acknowledged as Titanium's mother/legal guardian in some manner?

>>2184426

Very nice!

You should just mark this as happening several years in the past

>>2184859

Legal guardian yes, not mother (officially)

>>2184866
>not mother (officially)
I wonder if that eats Mithril up some nights to not be officially recognized. I'm sure she became relieved when Ti began to refer to her as mum.

Unrelated, but for the council and to straighten it out; was Hydrogen apart of it initially but stepped down for personal reasons or was it always Kr?

>>2184886
>I wonder if that eats Mithril up some nights to not be officially recognized.

Nah, she knows the full story and doesn't care about what the papers say

>>2184866
Will do.

Ti is aware that Mi is her biological mother, right? Even if she's fuzzy on the details.

>>2184886
If the council is Pr, Po, Kr, Li and Mi joins to replace H, then both.

>>2184902
Yeah I'm sure Ada sat down Ti to explain who Mithril exactly is in relation to each other. Considering she probably moved in right when she began Uni while Ti was like four.

Mi joins in place of Silver for the council. The H thing was about Kr replacing H because H stepped down for various vague reasons. I think the only specific one was the idea that she was pregnant but it didn't go anyway.

>>2184904
It should still work out; Silver declined the offer. Mi is the replacement for the replacement, though she certainly wouldn't phrase it that way.

>>2184905
Okay I'm lost now.
From what I can gather the original planned city council was:
Po, Li, Pr, Ag, and H(tenuous).
Ag turned down the offer so Mi took her spot which leads to
Po, Li, Pr, Mi, and H.
H, possibly steps down for reasons leading to Kr taking her spot. Leading to
Po, Li, Pr, Mi, and Kr.

I was wondering if H was even apart of the originally planned council or if H should just be skipped in favor of Kr joining. Making Kr the "newest" council member after Mithril.

>>2184910
I figured it was Pr, Po, Li, Kr and H. Then H leaves, Silver is offered the position, declines, and Mi joins instead, making her the newest member.

>>2184913
Oh, with the way things were set up Silver being offered a position happened back before yz leading to how Mithril came to be on it by yz. H and Kr came about from trying to find a fifth member. He was suggested because of all her free time and possible investor connections. Kr was suggested because of how she's essentially an event organizer and mc half the time in her normal work.

They could both fill the same position but the idea of How stepping down and Kr replacing her got suggested. It could just be that Kr is a member while H sits in from time to time as an advisor or something for Pr.

>>2184902

Of couse she knows, as if Mi would ever shut up (to the people in the know) about how she seduced a 30-year old soldier when she was just 15

>>2184915
Hmmmm, I guess it would depend on when H stepped down.

I'd say that H wasn't particularly interested in politics

>>2184918
Mi was 16~17 when the conception happened. All things considered, yeah it was probably kept quiet. Might've even left an implied threat with Gold to drive home how serious it was.

>>2184919
I was thinking half a year to a year before yz. So one of the more recent things, however if >>2184922 comes to pass I'm wager Mi and Kr joining at the same time. Gold giving support for Kr's ability considering they coordinated before iirc.

>>2184923
>Mi was 16~17 when the conception happened.

Conception, but they knew each other before

>>2184918
Very subtle, Mi.

>>2184993
Yeah it's implied. After all, Mithril had to romance Ada to be given a chance so it took time to actually get to kissin' and love making and hand holding.

>>2185175

I'd like to think Mi knew Ada since before her teens but started having romantic feelings for her during puberty

Then at around 14-15 she started to act on it and made advances on a 30+ years old Ada

>intimate handholding with a minor
CALL THE POLIIIIIIIIIICE!

>>2185185
Possibly, considering the military connections. However one of the big things about their relationship is that Mithril finds out Ada was the setting's Fabio for a couple months via picking up the hobby of reading trashy romance novels then they were formally introduced.

>>2184374
Good question.

>>2184374
>>2185194
While not immediately viable, I do feel like suggesting the possibility of Steel eventually becoming Pr's successor. Like when Steel's forty, going onto fifty. To make reference to Steel's wide spread use as a foundation in "modern" times.

>>2185212
That's an interesting idea.

I hate to beg because I'm no drawfag, but we need more art of the girls.

I am a writefag, however, and I'm wracking my brain for something

>>2185222
What could be done, though it'd need more involvement from the thread, is a consolidation of physical descriptions regarding the rest of the elements. So that, if we want we could request something from the draw thread as well has helping to flesh them out even more.

>>2185222
I have a whole list of ideas I'd draw if I could.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8471005/chapters/19502437
Hopefully I didn't step on any toes with this. Pretty sure I left it open enough that a certain someone could take her sweet time figuring things out and delay the inevitable.

However I feel like emphasizing that because of Mithril's history and proximity with Gold, Mithril can more readily see the Silver influences in her niece Electrum. Which doesn't really ever get emphasized, so hopefully some of Silver shines through.

>>2185349
It's a lot of work, being Mithril.

Gad is just about the cutest right now.

>suck a dick

>>2185224
This.

Is they're anyone who doesn't have a physical description at all?

>>2185349

Oh nice, thanks for that!

Mithril really holds a grudge over what happened between C and Ti

>>2185529

I'd say most of them actually, some have some details like H having Naitou's hair and some have 3D models but I reckon there are less characters with any physical attributes than without

>>2185357
Gad does try her best, but it's like her boss is a whole new person.
>>2185773
I'm sure Carbon would be the same way if Steel got hurt. It was more to spook Carbon.

For the physical descriptions we could also try to work in some other physical attributes like scars or those that wear glasses. I'd like to say that Steel has a few on her hands either from shop class or cooking when she was learning.

>>2185785
>glasses
Just to list them for fun, there's Copper and Silver, of course, plus Selenium, Lutetium and...?

>>2185820
Al, kind of, just with sunglasses. I hear she wears her sunglasses at night even. Neon as well, though I think they're more of a stylistic thing than actual used glasses. I believe there was talk of Kr having a slim pair of reading glasses that she uses for office work.

>>2185821
Lu might be similar to Kr in that regard if she only uses her glasses when reading.

>>2185825
Or rather, knowing Lu, when at the computer.

>>2185820
Elerium wears rather large sunglasses when outside. She doesn't wear them at night and it is unknown if she wears them during cloudy days because she rarely, if ever, leaves her house during that kind of weather.

>>2185820
Back when Ada was a detective or a patrolman, and possibly while a drill sergeant, she most likely had aviators

Was there an agreed upon description of Mithril?

>>2185835
Outside of her constantly wearing four inch heels to put her around 6'1" in terms of height. Just normal stuff, though I have been working on her profile and this was what I planned on using.
Eyes: Grey
Hair: Silvery white, straight and down to the middle of her back
Skin: Pale white
Not entirely sold on the grey eyes, but I am rather enamored with the hair being straight while going to the middle of her back.

>>2185842
Wasn't she some dark-skinned amazon or something? Am I thinking of someone else? I don't keep up with these threads as much as I should

>>2185845
You're thinking of Orichalcum, who becomes Lady Ar's future wife. Though I'm sure Ada could tan nicely if she ever worked up the urge to care.

>>2185842
Last time it was discussed, wavy was the consensus rather than straight, but similarly long.

>>2185852
Was it? Guess I forgot about it, but alright if that was what was reached. As for the eyes, instead of grey how does amber or golden orange sound?

>>2185855
Grey might technically fit best, but anything is fine really.

40KB, 458x666px

>>2185859
If nothing else, we could say that Titanium's grey eye color comes from Mi and that Mi's amber eyes are recessive. Would be rather interesting if Ti got some purple in her palette from another swimmer.

>>2185867
A purple swimsuit, maybe.

>>2185901
Could be, she'd probably rock it no matter the color. I wonder which several sports she's in athlete of.

>>2185903
Even Mithril almost loses track.

>>2185903
>I wonder which several sports she's in athlete of.

I like to think she's mainly a triathlon athlete, as well as a biathlon one in winter

Oh yeah, Scandy wears glasses too, doesn't she?

>>2186132

She does, yes

>>2186132
She also has a habit to adjust them when flustered. Probably get all fogged up from the embarrassment.

>>2186137
>>2186140
And Iridos wears contacts!

>>2186146
She does?

>>2186148
It was suggested, at least. Among her other efforts to attract Electrum's attention.

>>2186151
That's kind of cute, I wonder what her glasses look like.

>>2186153

Dorky glass bottle spectacles I'm sure

>>2186166
Aren't those out of style though?

>>2186179

Not when you're comfy at home, daydreaming about your tsundere aristocrat crush

File: Who knows.jpg (7KB, 300x154px) Image search: [Google]

7KB, 300x154px

>>2186189
Maybe Electrum can talk her into something more reasonable if she's going to be around as a friend. Such a thing strikes me as Iridos being practical more than fashionable.

>>2186191

Well if she uses contacts in public, she wouldn't need fancy glasses...at least until Electrum decides to do something about it

Iridos is pretty practical in general, her fancy front is more for getting Electrum to notice her

>>2186194
Well she's gonna learn to like being fashionably practical.

So this is probably out there and everything but what if Ts and/or Og were like Nene from Pandora and the Major? Full on gynoid body but human brain, and everything that entails, downloaded into a gynoid shell. I imagine the scenario would be more in line with Nene and Tc. One involving an accident or some sort leading to the download/transfer being the only way to well and truly live.

However, thinking about them may be too far into the setting's future so it's understandable if it's too out there.

What kind of gift would Pt give for Hg or Pd's birthday?

>>2186245
That would be cool, but the caveat you mentioned is true.

>>2186248
Stationary?

>>2186249
4
>>2186248

>>2186249
Pd? Maybe or a good pen set. I had thought of something better for Hg. A magician's kit for magic tricks/sleight of hand. A tower of Hanoi was the puzzle I was thanking of.

>>2186253
Hg would probably get a lot of use out of something like that.

>>2186246
Maybe Tin's latest album? Would be similar enough that Platinum might remember Pal liking her.

Unrelated, but where should I put this Mithril profile I wrote up since I'm not a co-author for the bios?

>>2186896
>Maybe Tin's latest album?

But did Tin's latest album get platinum?

Is it Khthon?

>>2186940
Yes to both.
Realistically, I'd say depending on when it was released would indicate whether it was Plat or not.

>>2186948

Well that idea is good but not the one I'll go with, for...um, reasons you'll see :^)

>>2186952
Very sneaky, but I guess I will.
Also Mithril's profile is up and it's in typical long winded fashion. Hopefully all the listed council members are okay.

The reason why Kr feels wrong to Mi should might not be obvious, though there was a silly meta reason.

>>2186968
Her hair is still listed as straight, unless that was intentional.

Phew, Mithril must be busy.

>>2187027
Nope, I had meant to change it to wavy.
Speaking of busy, I wonder if Gold would try and encourage Electrum to get a job.

>>2187231
Gold? Nah, she probably wouldn't.

>>2187322
Maybe it's Electrum's doing then. When she starts going out with Iridos, she feels odd and conflicted about asking her parents for date money and tries to work around it.

>>2187331
Iridos must bring out her responsible side.

>>2187335
Someone has to. She can't always just be daydreaming about romance like her rival.

>>2187344
She must have gotten it from Silver.

Which element would be most likely to have a big holiday get together?

>>2187578

"Get together"?

>>2187608
A hootenanny or shindig. Like a hoedown without the dancing.

>>2187609

Sn on the saxo, Ne on the keytar

>>2187608
A place to get gotted.
A party

>>2187614
Gold for general festivities, almost by default.

>>2187668
I bet the megacorps have little christmas parties. Al's unintentionally tries to compete with Gold's galas, Silicon's is the most earnest, LIthium's is the most formal, and Iron's is the quiestest.

>>2187959
At least Al has Sc to keep her in line.

>>2187975
True, I'd also like to amend my statement and say Iron's are the most heartfelt in addition to being quietest. Using Nickel as an intermediary she sets everything up and watches from behind the scenes to see if her employees are happy. Has yet to actually appear during one though.

>>2187976
Everyone probably figures that she's got a lot of work to do.

>>2187976

Nickel would be the life of the party, meanwhile, Nb only stays at the beginning then got to the hospital to keep Zr company during their Christmas party

>>2188317
Man I completely forgot that Nb worked under Iron.
I bet Ta, Bk, and Zr would have a nice little party with some of the other doctors.

ThU's place probably gets strangely festive, I bet Mo was rather surprised about how they celebrated.

>>2188319
>ThU's place probably gets strangely festive, I bet Mo was rather surprised about how they celebrated.

It can't be any other way; Pu and Tc are in the place, Eu and U both enjoy the time off and Th is reunited with her family, even if Ac spends her time watching after Ra

Meanwhile, in the countryside, P, K, N, O, Tl, Rn and Po enjoy a nice Chirstmas dinner in the cozy warmth of P's farm, there's even S and her motormouth sister Te (I is having her traditional Christmas halogen get together, and Se enjoys a romantic dinner with In)

>>2188324
Forgot Np and Pm for ThU christmas.
Though here I thought H would be able to wrangle O into a holiday sojourn so she could catch up with He and Ne.

>>2188329

H is probably enjoying a traditional Christmas dinner at Ar's mansion, along with Lu and Ori

>>2188332
While Ar's being fascinated by the stuff Ori's revealing regarding her Saturnalia-equivalent.

The real question is, wat does the mayor do for the holidays? Just something quiet with her sister and sister's gf?

Her sister's GF is celebrating with the firefighters at the FD, I'd she gets a nice sisterly dinner with Nd

She obviously turned down Rh and Ru's very oddly phrased invitation

>>2188383
Would be funny if one year Pr got an invitation from Mithril and Ada to join them for a holiday dinner thing.
Totally more from Ada's pushing that Pr seems a little lonely.

>>2188384

Mi, Ada and Ti are most likely attending Gold's Christmas gala

>>2188382
Enjoy the peace and quiet.

>>2188394

I can definitely see Pr having a pleasant dinner with her sister in order to take it easy and relax

>>2188423
I wonder what RhRu would give her as a gift?

>>2188429

I don't know why, but I'm imagining RuRh digging up extremely rare vinyl records of classical music that Pr listen to at home

>>2188467
That's very thoughtful of them. Pr might even be a little surprised at how straightforward that is, rarity aside.

>RuRh: What did you expect?

>>2188387
I suppose, depends on when or if Gold hosts two different parties.

>>2188626
Wouldn't put it past her.

>>2188629
If one's more intimate while the other isn't that could allow for the AdaMi and Pr thing. Obviously during the time of the more non-intimate gala Gold hosts while AdaMi goes to the intimate one with Ti andV

>>2188642
It must seem like all Gold and Mi do is plan events!

>>2188642

Au would certainly help poor V getting the Mi seal of approval

>>2188791
Cautious approval at first.

>>2188791
>>2188914
Of course, V has a much easier time winning over Mi than Kr does. If Kr's even aware.

>>2189029
It's possible that Kr doesn't even realize it.

>>2189089
Oh yes, it's quite likely though I'm sure Kr feels like there's something off with Mithril. Something shady almost but she can't place her finger on it.

>>2189091
Their friendship just wasn't meant to be.

>>2189093
Some things are just like that. If nothing else, they'd be able to work together pretty well from what their profiles tells.
It's because they have some smattering of hero and villain influence in them right?

>>2189095
Sounds like an episode of Phlebotinum.

>>2189096
Would be great if Gold realized it and kind of floated the idea to one of the writers on the show.
But who came up with Phlebotium, is it a straight precure expy where it's been rebooted and continued various times throughout the decades up until the present?

>>2189098
As long as it's still profitable!

Pretty good, and I'd like to put forth that picture could serve as a place holder for Ho. Not sure about the green eyes, but the pink hair is surprisingly accurate considering Holmium's properties. So could be something hand waved like Ho's hair takes on a pink/strawberry sheen in anything not above 26 degrees.

>>2189409
That would fit rather well.

Perhaps slate grey for Ho's eye color? Would she be that busty though?

That would look nice.

She probably is fairly busty.

Maybe or something like Sarasa.

>>2189690
That's something like Tm's reaction to all this.

>>2189698
Good call. It must depend on her mood.

>>2189803
What Tm seeing her sister as a bartender?

>>2189847

Well as far as she knew, Ho was a college student moolighting as a receptionist in a medical place

Surely she never guessed Ho would spread her wings being a dashing bartender

When do Ho and La start dating?

>>2190067
Good question. I'd like to imagine it's after she lands her bartending job and La just stumbles into the bar she's working at and doesn't recognize Ho before letting out what's eating her up.

>>2190070
It must have been cold out.

>>2190070

Would Ho and La know each other beforehand?

>>2190464
Yeah, La is one of Ho's friends. Along with Gd, though I was just throwing that out there. It could be something completely different since unlike Gd or Tm, La does feel some of the magnetic personality Ho has leading to an attraction that she's unsure about.

>>2190465

It's too bad Ho couldn't take her eyes off Eb for quite a while

Does La have anything pertaining to her looks yet?

>>2190489
Not particularly. Silver white's the color for the oxide though there is a rather interesting violet color that is found in LaB. Maybe earthy tones with electric purple for her eye color and accents?

>>2190496
I don't remember exactly, La prefers to keep to herself, right?

>>2190501
She's friends with Boron and Cerium, along with Holium and Gadolinium, but beyond that yeah. Despite being classified as a rare earth element it makes up a pretty abundant portion of earth's crust.

>>2190524
For Ho, at least, she was "lying hidden."

>>2190526
The pink does wonders to catch the eye.

>>2190532
Ho must be color blind!

>>2190631
Wait shit, I was thinking of Ho. It'd be La electric purple eyes that drew Ho's attention. You know underneath all the earthy colors La usually uses.

>>2190640
Ho could stare into them for hours, and probably would if La let her.

>>2190659

And sometmes, she does

>>2190721
And Ho ends up being great at staring contests as a result.

Erm... I'm new here, but have you guys ever thought about groups of acids and bases being rivals, aspects such as molar mass and electronegativity affecting their personalities, oxygen "oxidizing" everyone's relationships, the noble gas family being... noble (there could be a Romeo and Juliet drama between Xenonium and Fluoride [XeF6] since Xe is noble and F in electron savvy), the situation between acids and bases being... "salty", nickel, iron and cobalt having a "magnetic attraction", aluminium needing copper to be strong (I ship this) and the psychopath-esque way H+ and OH- try to end relationships?

I was reading through and my autism kicked in.

>>2191335
The setting is a little too far along now to account for all of this, and often depends on how cute an idea is. But good ideas, there's always potential for more chemistry!

>>2191372
The AlCu thing could be implemented as Copper doing an internship at Al's megacorps and then being torn about whether to accept Silicon's offer or Al's. Potentially leading to the idea of Copper starting her own business where she helps both of them.

>>2191372
That's fine, just thought some would get something out of my autism.

>>2191374
That plot looks interesting, I won't lie.

Fun fact, fuselage Aluminium was discovered by accident when an engineer got frustrated from trying to make a resistant Aluminium alloy and let a mixture of copper and aluminium cool overnight instead of fast cooling it with water, which doesn't work because of the aluminium crystals acting different from other metals.

>>2191335

It's case by case and not limited to chemistry but also history or imagery. Alkalis are a family because they're the most homogenous group, Hg's amalgams is her tendency of stealing the show and "dissolving" others in her presence (especially poor Al), He and Ne's relationship is asexual because lack of reactivity, B's romantic history is actually the elements most prominent diborides...also something-something decay chains and the radioactives

In general, the setting already solidified a lot since its inception (one year ago...damn) but hey nothing prevents to create an AU

>>2191493
I see...

It just really got me interested since it's quite a complex topic and all of you are quite fond of it to the point of making some amazing relations. To say it straight, this thread exceeds the expectations I had for 4chan, I really like it.

>>2191493
Decay chains pop up with TcMo and I think PoRnTl. Also the FeZn bit.

>>2191670

TcMo feature radioactive decay (production of Tc from Mo 99) but not the "decay chains" as a scientific term, that are split in various series (Actinum series, Uranium series, etc...) those were used to make the ThPaAc family

PoRnTl weren't made with decay chains, Tl Po just happened to be free for the idea of a very big age gap relationship and Rn piggybacked on it

And yes, ZnFe was perhaps the earliest example of IRL applications shaping the setting's

>>2191521

You're welcome! It took a lot of lunacy and a lot of autism, but it gave birth to relatively vast and varied setting, with plenty of storylines to be made

>>2191751
You sure I could've sworn there was something about chains for Po and Rn being sisters. Hang on, I think the idea for their family relations was kind of lifted from this picture.
Another thing strange in the setting from irl applications is the committed threesome of XeFKr

Lutetium and Dysprosium.

Nice, Lu can't seem to escape antics.

>>2191958
It's a good thing she has a soft spot for Dy. And Ar. And Ori.

>>2191962
She probably runs off to H if it gets too much and she needs someone normal.
Then Oxygen stops by.

>>2191969
"I should have guessed," thinks Lu.

>>2191754

I'm definitely sure; I was the one who proposed Rn as Po's sister. The decay chain is incidental, since all the elements of the table in this area are part of all the chains, but the actual motivation was to fit Rn in the setting

>>2191849

tfw forgot about Dy AGAIN

>>2192125
Dy does tend to to fly under the radar, at least part of the time.

>>2192125
You're probably right. I think the reasoning for Thallium being Po's niece instead of daughter was to not have lateral incest and to emphasis something about how their poison effects people in a similar manner.

>>2192145

Yes, and at that point the idea was that Tl's mother was sick and Tl moved in with Po in the city, which was the perfect occasion to include Rn

>>2192133
Pretty fitting for a camera woman.

>>2192265
Though on occasion she can be quite flashy.

Rereading AE's last shorts got me thinking, surely there have been many personifications of chemical elements...but I wonder if there has there been one that went so far down the rabbit hole to come up with characters for Lu, Ho and Dy...

>>2192612
This is breaking new ground in lesbian elements.

>>2192644

And with that, only H, Ba, La, Ce, Pu, Hf and Ge haven't been featured in a written piece

Here I was thinking industrial stuff. Or maybe more instrumental stuff that can drown distractions out while she works.

>>2194454

Industrial, hardcore, black metal and the like are more Mo's thing (which is to say, Ura will end up being acquainted with it)

>>2194456
I like that, could also be a way Steel got introduced to sub-genres of metal

>>2194459

Oh definitely; Mo is ones of the 3 most influential step-moms of Steel

>>2194472
Forgot about that since her influence is under played. How would she feel about Iron? Reserving til she learns more about it?

>>2194479

Sounds about right, Mo is not really one to interfere with other's business

>>2193773
I love the idea of districts in the city and I kind of want to get a rough idea of where all the important sectors are and figure out where the megacorp buildings are situated.

Also not late, I'm not late. I'm just slow ;_;
http://pastebin.com/MHP6Q1BZ

>>2194637

Anon please, there's no such thing as "being late for cleaning the mess I did with the English language", thanks a lot as usual some of these typos, hot damn

Developing the setting and its geography is something that always wanted to do (ever since Lifesaver), I want to give it some serious though after I do some individual charts

It's nice that we've had a look recently at some of the prominent stores in the setting, like Cobalt's and Mithril's.

>>2194825
It was mostly fine, seemed to be some declensions not translating well is all.

Well something to think on about when you're doing the charts. What would fit a district that's named 'The Hearth'? I was feeling a sort of governing body section, like a little section that has some of them together and where Pr usually works.

>>2194982
That would probably be adjacent to the corporate district.

>>2194953

I think I once worked out the floorplan of Cobalt's place, I wonder it I still have it

>>2194982

Sounds like the City Hall that's located in the Downtown area, very big and fancy city hall, like Paris' or Vienna's

>>2195140
Pr probably thinks it's a little opulent.

>>2195140
>very big and fancy city hall, like Paris' or Vienna's
That sounds nice if the surrounding area compliments it. This got me thinking about the megacorp's. Would Silicon be big and old enough to be boarding on having her own sector like Lithium might? More of a sprawling bunch of buildings. Iron have a feeling is probably closer to the industrial district and is much more sprawling than some grand opulent tower. The tower would be for Aluminium because of her personality.

>>2195191
>Silicon
It's not old or prestigious enough to compete with Lithium's, but multiple buildings, certainly.

>>2195191

The Dowtown area would be full of this fancy old architecture

>>2195203

I see Silice HQ as a modern technological park, like the Googleplex or the Pixar studios. Ferric, being a relatively new business would have a corporate tower office (not very high, 200 meter or so, 300 tops) while also owning a big chuck of the industrial district. Aluminium, being Aluminium, would have a 600+ meter opulent tower, that could be nicknamed "the roof" (as in "the city's roof")

Both towers made by Zn by the way

Lead and Alkali would have their dedicated districts, Lead as a Victorian Britain themed industrial estate and Alkali as a Japanese Zaibatsu area

>>2195207
Very classy, Lead.

>>2195207
So would Iron and Lead's kind of be like looking at the evolution of architecture and such?

Also would U's area, Elerium's observatory, and perhaps Po's plant(s) be in a similarly grouped area called Tiamat's Nest? The name is probably a huge stretch since the city probably uses a combination of hydroelectric, aero-electric, and typical power plants..

>>2195210
Ura's lab is actually in the heart of city, in the canal's banks. They built it of the site of an old werehouse they used when they were youger (it's in one of the fic), said warehouse being inspired by Kat's workshop in GKC

For Po I think the city has 3 main powerplants, a nuclear one, way outside the city, a solar one, staffed by Se, and a dam. The HQ would be in the outskirts of the city, on the way to 115's observatory (which I'll call the Crystal summit observatory, for...reasons) which completely outside the city

>>2195292
Well, at least that's established. Sounds like the Metropolis is like Paris and Gotham in that it's on and grew around a river delta or something. Only maybe not as coastal as Gotham. Oh actually tough question; would the the place where all the manor are, effectively be an acropolis? Though I suppose depending on the age of the metropolis, it would be closer to the citadel/center of the city.

>>2195295
The is actually an outlying costal portion of the city, which is where As and Br grew up. IIRC.

>>2195295

I see the location kinda like Sao Paulo; near the coast, but not actually on it, in the coast there would be Br and As' town, as well of the Port city (Lifesaver fic)

I'll try to whip up a first draft of the plan, although I already found the river name Pactolus

>>2195433
You'll inflate Electrum's ego even further!

So would Carbon be working near city hall or the more corporate sectors?

>>2195568
The former would make sense.

>>2195542
>You'll inflate Electrum's ego even further!

Good

>>2195568

City hall area

File: Lydia.png (432KB, 6000x3000px) Image search: [Google]

432KB, 6000x3000px

So here's what I've been thinking

The City would be old, and would've been founded with the Citadel, a big walled acropolis made to watch the Pactolus and its tributary.

The City then expanded southward with more classical architecture and then northward with industrialisation.

The business district and their skyscrapers would be on the northern bank of the Pactolus, facing the Downtown (or "Hearth") area on the southern bank of the river.

The industrial district would be in the north of the city (because the wind goes from SW to NE) and along the river that has the dam, said dam would be mainly powering the industrial district. Lead would have her industrial park along her river, while the Alkali's zaibatsu would be at the edge of both

The south area would be very much mixed in terms or organisation, kind of like Paris; including some manufacturers and factories that have their ties to the pre-industrial area.

Then on the east would be a more residential area due to a more hilly terrain, also the area that has to most parks. Would be where the welthier elements live, including Ar, her estate being at the very outskirts of the city

The Pactolus would be the main river and economic heart of the city since its foundation and its eastern tributary would mainly be used for leisure boating

Elerium's observatory would be in the mountainous area, in the north

>>2195806
Right so. If I read this right, and forgive me if I messed this up, it would look like pic related in terms of sector lay out, correct? I took that perimeter around the citadel as kind of a modern day city limit thing. If I was wrong about that then it'd be more spread out with the classical expansion taking up more of the perimeter.

Civic planning has never been this yuri.

Somewhat like that yes, although I see the business district entirely on the other shore, like pic related

"Classical city" is basically 15th to 18th century architecture, "Industrial era city" is, for lack of better word, 19th to first half of 20th century architecture, and "Modern city" is second half of 20th and 21th century
architecture

"High end district" is a clumsy term for low density, spread out city style for the wealthy

>>2195938
Oh very nice. I take it that Lithium's numerous mines are closer to the industrial district while P's farms and the like are on the south east end near the high end and modern bit.

>>2195940

Oh it's faily zoomed in; I'd say Lithium's mines are anywhere from within a dozen km from the city to several hundreds

As for P, she would be at least 300km away from the city, going to the east along the smaller river

>>2195942
So then would Rn's cottage be like midway between P and the cosmopolis or deep within P's territory?

Probably. I bet Gold was the reason why she went to public school as well.

>>2197088
They have Pr's best interests in mind.

>>2197115
What's the worst Mi could do? It's not like she made commemorative jewelry for the council.

>>2197117
But there's an idea...

>>2197123
Watches would be more practical than rings.

>>2197133
They would probably all appreciate that.

>>2197138
True and could be introduced to Cs if Lithium wants to make sure. Though at that point, Lithium would probably try and keep distance to her nieces in fear of being overbearing.

>>2197141
And we all know how Po feels about her niece.

>>2197143
However that doesn't really impact the idea of Mithril being commissioned by Pr to make some watches for the council.

>>2197163
It doesn't, no, it was just too good to pass up.

>>2197173
It did remind me of something interesting. Mithril and Thalium are the only two that might have a concrete way to tell the twins apart.

>>2197141

Cs wouldn't want anything to do with them, and Rb wouldn't let them either

>>2197177
The twins might be one step ahead of Mi, though.

Since the general layout is more or less established, I had a bash at going a bit more in detail, still very much up to discussion
