You are currently reading a thread in /u/ - Yuri
Continued from >>1926024
>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 familyheh hehof a Gold/Silver couple and their (adopted?) daughter Copper, and have been slowly expanding out. Done with a mixture involving small amounts of science and large amounts of "this would be cute" when it comes to establishing an element or couple.
Questions to help expand on some elements:
Is Prometheum an AI girl created by Europium who wanted a child but is married to her work?
Will Molybdeum ever be discussed?
How exactly are Silicon and Carbon related and is it incest if they slept together?
Will Titanium ever mention her mother Adamantine?
Why is Aluminium such a prancing lalala resuwoman when it comes to interacting with Beryllium?
>>1942526
Also, why things didn't work out between Chromium and Cobalt ?
Carbon is pale
Steel is cute
Iron is inexplicably hot, it's something about how she's standing or her eyebrow or something but I'm definitely gay for a metal right now
also this thread is so perfectly every crazy stereotype about /u/, keep on trucking onee-sans
>>1942592
Maybe they realized they work better as friends than lovers, and maybe they were going in two separate directions in their life so it ended amicably and then Chromium found out she was pregnant with little Stellite after Cobalt left.
Now the real question would be, does Stellite know her estranged mother Cobalt?
>>1942634
I don't even know if they'd be estranged.
Like, they just realised that things weren't clicking for them in a relationship, so they split with relatively little fuss and just hop Stellite between them every week or something.
Which makes Carbon silently jealous, of course.
>>1942661
Yeah I doubt Chromium and Cobalt would be estranged since it sounds like they're still friends. As for hopping Stellite betwixt themselves, that could definitely work. I'm sure Chromium doesn't need the help in supporting Stellite but she told Cobalt just as a heads up and to see if she wanted to be in her life.
Carbon probably even realizes she's slightly jealous but pushes it down since Chromium's been so helpful with little Steel and as an emotional rock.
>>1942671
>As for hopping Stellite betwixt themselves, that could definitely work.
It's pretty common for cases with joint custody. Often court-mandated, even.
Though I wonder what Cobalt and maybe even Stellite (kids can be pretty perceptive) think about Chromium and Carbon's relationship, or Chromium and Nickel's.
>>1942674
For Carbon and Chromium that'd depend on when it started and Stellite's age. Outside of probably noticing her mom is happy, she wouldn't have an opinion on CCr. Now NiCr, that one she's probably more aware of since she's ~7 so if she likes Nickel she'd probably be fine with Chromium getting together with her.
As for Cobalt, maybe a little jealous of the relationship in and of itself but not Carbon or Chromium. Not real sure about Nickel, it'd probably depend on if she bumped into Platinum and became smitten with her.
>>1942674
Cobalt's probably encouraging her, I doubt there's much jealousy on either side. Maybe a little drama on which one starts seriously moving on first, but nothing serious.
As for Stellite, I doubt she picks up on exactly what her mom and Carbon are doing upstairs while Steel takes her to the movies, but I can imagine her overhearing talk about Nickel and running through the halls shouting "mama's a cradle robber!".
And eventually of course being excited about being a big sister.
>>1942678
>Cr dating Nickel makes her a cradle robber
What? They're like five years apart, come on. Zinc's a cradle robber, if she gets with Copper, along with Carbon.
>>1942681
I've seen people say it as a joke about smaller age gaps (22/18, though, so earlier in life).
I never said she overheard a SERIOUS talk.
>>1942685
Fair enough.
The Periodic Table from the previous thread. Cobalt, Chromium, and Stellite needs to be filled in with the appropriate colours or made in Stellite's case.
>>1942688
What's "mentioned" versus "discussed"?
Also we should probably link the fics and profiles somewhere.
>>1942704
Probably something like how the OP mentioned Prometheum and Europium as something of a convo starter compared to say Chromium who the previous discussion focused on along with Co and Stellite.
Astatine's kind of a good example, we haven't really talked about her outside of saying she's a spaghetti monster and the little cameo she had in Palladium's profile.
Though looking at this I think Zr, P, S, Mo, V, Hg, Brass, and Bronze should be mentioned over discussed.
>>1942526
I just came here. Is Carbonlicentious?
>>1942714
I wouldn't say licentious specifically, but she's got a hell of a sex drive and commitment issues.
She's slept with (off the top of my referencing-chart-in-the-last-thread) Titanium, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Silicon, Manganese, Chromium, Nickel, and Zinc on at least one occasion each, on top of having a magic alloy baby with Iron when they were teenagers (leading to said commitment issues).
She's also maybe slept with Aluminium, who IS licentious (and is basically lesbian chemical Tony Stark).
>>1942714
More unintentional than intentional since she has a Class-M harem (kinda) and got her high school sweetheart teen pregnant.
>>1942704
>What's "mentioned" versus "discussed"?
Mentioned is mentioned in "canon" (ie, actual written pieces), right now it refers to the characters established in other characters's profile, so that we have a better understanding of them.
Discussed is everything talked about in the thread, but not yet transposed in canon.
For instance, Mn went from "discussed" to "mentioned" when Iron's profile went up.
The table needs updating as I'll change some things about Cobalt in the light of recent discussion, like adding Stellite, and replacing Arsenic with Samarium as her childhood friends (the magnets).
Some objections with Cobalt being a teenage romance of Aluminium ?
>>1942764
I got no objection to that romance, not like it stuck around. Only thing that sticks out is Zr. Why is Zr discussed? I don't think she's even been thought of yet unless I missed something blatant.
Also don't forget to color Technetium.
>>1942704
>we should probably link the fics and profiles somewhere.
Done
http://pastebin.com/b9SiY7pV
I will obviously continue lurking and try to update it as soon as possible.
>>1942770
I mentioned her to be a colleague of Dr. Tantalum, as they're both metals used in medical applications.
>>1942775
Christ I'm blind. I completely forgot about that. Ah well then, I think the only outstanding gripe with the chart now is Technetium not being properly coloured and Cobalt needing change her color.
>>1942781
Here
Keep in mind this chart is up to date with the new version of Cobalt's profile that is not yet posted.
>>1942805
Nice, alright I will try and catch the updated Cobalt profile in case it has a different url for the all-in-one pastebin.
>>1942732
>Do we even have a lewd writefag?
Nope, though that would probably be a touch troubling since it's mostly couples that would be the subject matter. Adult couples that is.
>>1942719
>Zinc
Actually her profile established that because of the complicated situation with Fe, Zn and C didn't act on their attraction.
Which begs the question: in which bed does Zn alleviate the stress of being between the anvil and the hammer ?
>>1942884
Lithium'sbecause all of her toys/vibrators use lithium batteries
For real though, didn't Iron's profile just establish that she's closer to Iron than Carbon and when she was/is friends with Carbon's she's more focused on playing mediator and trying to help sway Carbon into giving Iron a second chance that sleeping with Carbon probably happens rarely.
I gotta imagine that it's more of the heat of the moment type thing. Like Zinc and Carbon got into an argument, one which lead to shouting, and Carbon became all bothered and hot leading to her launching at Zinc and maybe ravishing her while Zinc's all confused in pleasure.
>>1942887
No, no. Remember that Carbon's relationships/flings started with so much as lifting her pinkie.
It's more like they argued, Carbon got hot&bothered, Zinc picked up on it and next thing she knows she's doing research on Carbon's body.
Carbon does have the sexual drive and pull but doesn't act on it, girls just throw themselves at her. And she does try to make things work but it just doesn't happen, because what matters most is Steel.
Also, are we going to talk about FeC ever getting back? And how would CLASS-M react?It would be awesome if once they got back together every past lover of C -the single ones - wants to try again and now Fe has to chase them away.

Now I'm tacking the Alkalis, and I've got a question: Li is the CEO and Na and K are her daughters, the eldest K was the designated heir but fancied herself as a farmer and bailed out to work with P, where does it leave Na ?
(Consider that the Alkalis are all bad in social situations, with some more than others)
>>1943064
Samarium's
>The one and only "bestie"
Chromium's
>Chromium became pregnant as the flame of passion began to flicker,
>sealed the fate of their relationship.
I wouldn't quite put Zinc down as the Copperb owl winner just yet, since nothing's really been established. Also maybe it'd be better to say Copper's the future mother of Bronze and Brass
There was a bit about Antimony's relationship with SnPb being more of a business/friendship one than what three-way relationship implies.
P and S were kind of the proto-NiChr back before Class-M became set and that they found how much they liked each other through the threesome with Carbon.
As for your Alkali trouble, I'd say have Li give K one or two more chances to see if she's "come to her senses"while secretly checking or finding out how profitable K's little "business venture" is. Gotta think of branding and diversifying the family business hasn't hurt before.If Potassium's still set on this little farm girl fantasy of hers after the second one, then I'd say "officially" open up the heir position while quietly funding some of K's stuff in the background.
>>1942916
>how would CLASS-M react?
Zn - Happy that Iron finally worked up the courage.
W - Would have very stern words with Iron that might lead to a fight.
Mo - Needs to be further explored before her reaction can be speculated upon.
Mn - Would probably throw her hands up in exacerbation that it took them so long but is secretly happy
Si - Happy for her little sister and maybe a little jealous that she still hasn't found someone she can fall in love with.
Chromium - Might be too optimistic for Carbon's liking but is happy for them all the same
Nickel - Happy that her Boss got with her friend leaving Chromium open for herself
Titantium - Would maybe try and resemble Tungsten a little bit but doesn't expect such a strong front from Iron and is thrown off her game. Eventually comes to accept Iron trying to prove her love for them.
>>1943086
>I wouldn't quite put Zinc down as the Copperb owl winner just yet
These ideas are just things that were mentionned in the thread, and since it's the third one already, I made this to have a more convenient way of keeping track of what was said.
>Alkalis
My characterisation of Li is that she loves her family but is quite terrible at showing it, and basically two socially uneasy people had an increasing conflict about what was good for K.
Li's business is resouces and energy as well of high tech research, she doesn't really need money from agriculture.
I don't really want to find the resolution just yet, for now it's just establishing the situation, but I'm not quite sure of how Na's place and how she deals with all this.
>>1943086
Also, thanks for the correction.
>>1943106
>convenient way of keeping track
Fair enough
>Li loves her family but is quite terrible at showing it
Even better, she could earnestly believe that she's helping K grow by placing a few discreet funds though that probably largely depends on how well P does as a farmer. It's now more in the vein of Li thinks that might be a good way to subtly show her support of K's endeavors even if K might not see it that way and that she'll back off if K snaps at her and tells her to piss off.
As for the type of business she's in, well there are such things as wind farms that she could look into though it's admittedly not agriculture like you mentioned but the thing with it dynasty's is that they expand. Maybe not so visible to the common man but it wouldn't be that weird if they(the dynasty) dabbled in other things.
I didn't really pose them as resolutions outside of what you thought Li might do, though looking back I might've posed it as a suggestion for what to do about the heir apparent more than Na. In which case, I'd say Na's next in line for being heir but again that could be changed since it sounds like something might be up with Na that puts her at a worse disadvantage for being heir apparent.
>>1943155
Regarding Vanadium, do she and Chromium know each other?
They're both named for the same reason (lots of colorful salts).
>>1943181
Possibly, how old is Vanadium? While being a definitive cop out, if Vanadium's within four years of Cr's age they could've been childhood friends but that sounds too generic with everything in the setting so far.
I'd probably go with childhood rivals that became friends in high school with a forced project or something.
>>1942526
God DAMN I love /u/
Just wondering, since the radioactive elements are robot girls in this, what are the gaseous elements? Fairies, perhaps? Maybe they're responsible for the baby-making magic?
>>1943377
I believe the robots are elements that don't occur naturally and must be artificially produced, not necessarily radioactive elements.
>>1943124
>depends on how well P does as a farmer
I see P as quite the agriculte magnate.
When I plotted this it was more a principle issue rather than a money one, Lithium is a bit determinist.
Here's what I bagan to write: http://pastebin.com/z1ejRj0a
Famility ties of Rb, Cs and Fr are still undecided.
>>1943497
>Principle issue
You know, now it's starting to sound like one of those eighties movies where Li comes off as the villain at first but over the course of the movie grows and comes to accept that her daughter wants to be a farm girl while they both deal with the real villain.
In any case, I think Li might wait just a bit long while also keeping a closer eye on Na to see if she's up to the task of being heir. If not then she'll have to start looking outward to possibly her inner circle business-wise. Say Rubidium depending on their relationship and how Lithium wants her business to continue on past her.
Looking at that, has me more curious about the severity of Cs' ocd and agoraphobia.
>>1943377
Not all of the radioactive elements are robits. Just the artificial ones, though I think Prometheum's still up in the air. Technetium or Astatine are good example. Technetium's a cyborg, and probably her mother's assistant since the element's so close to Uranium, while Astatine's a huge as fuck spaghetti monster but still human in the setting.
>>1943703
>In any case, I think Li might wait just a bit long while also keeping a closer eye on Na to see if she's up to the task of being heir. If not then she'll have to start looking outward to possibly her inner circle business-wise. Say Rubidium depending on their relationship and how Lithium wants her business to continue on past her.
I don't really have a plan with Na yet, so it can go either way, but I'm kind of leaning of her became the company heir, as she's the most appropriate of the alkalis, as she's the most composed. Rb, Cs and Fr are not on the forefront for a reason.
>Looking at that, has me more curious about the severity of Cs' ocd and agoraphobia.
Intense OCD and precision obsessed (because it's Cs that we use in high end atomic clocks), that's way she's Rb's assistant, as she takes care of things that require extreme precision. Rb is the theorical genius and Cs is the practical genius.
>Astatine's a huge as fuck spaghetti monster
What's a spaghetti monster ?
>>1943751
>What's a spaghetti monster
Presumably some unholy aberration of the eldritch kind.
>>1943751
>What's a spaghetti monster ?
>Presumably some unholy aberration of the eldritch kind.
I was using it as a shorthand for her big social anxiety problems that we established as a way to show her radioactivity. Cause you know... when someone's socially awkward where they regularly say awkward things or drop spaghetti, as it's known on this site, she can be viewed as having spaghetti. The fact that she can have panic attacks kind of indicates that she may be more spaghetti than human until she gets with Palladium.God I feel stupid for using it now.
>>1943751
>Intense OCD and precision obsessed
Be careful with how intense you make it. If you were going to make her all about clocks I would suggested have she be in a vein similar to Clock King. Though I like the idea of her being the practical side to Rb's theoretical side.
>>1943766
I think "has tons of spaghetti in her pockets" would have worked better. The social awkwardness was the first thing I thought of, but then I remembered flying spaghetti monster and thought, "maybe she meant Astatine has a crazy appearance.", the "but still human in the setting" also threw me off, though I now realize it was in reference to the artificial nature and robot girls.
You know, /u/, Cd and Ga could be firefighter homo buddies, because they're used in fire sprinklers.
>>1943870
Like how Al and Be are top gun friends? Maybe, would they be full time homo firefighters or volunteer?
>>1943875
Full time, baby! They got guts!
>>1943878
You have a link about their use in sprinklers? I hadn't heard that bit before, so I'm curious.
Cadmium to me is batteries and Bob Ross, and gallium's semiconductors and galinstan.
>>1943881
Well, Cadmium is in Wood's metal, which is an alloy that melts at a relatively low temperature, found here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood%27s_metal
And Gallium...oops, I guess I got confused between thermometers and fire sprinklers, with the whole liquid metal thing going on.
Have we talked about Germanium yet? She could be Silicon's girlfriend, whom she met at work, since Ge is used quite a bit to dope silicon semiconductors.
>>1943878
They could have been, but their largest commercial usage might end up being a bigger indicator of their current job.
Hell they could've gotten together while being full-time or are at least roomies. It'd depend on their age though I'm getting a late 30s vibe.Would they be taller than normal?
>>1943885
Yeah, late thirties sounds good. If I may, I'd like to peg Cadmium at 39 and Gallium at 37.
>>1943885
>Would they be taller than normal?
That's an interesting idea, but I want to ask what inspired it before I accept it, since we haven't really been fooling around with heights the way we like to in Kancolle fanart. So, what inspired this question?
>>1943886
Yeah that could work.
>>1943883
Nope, hell Silicon hasn't really been discussed outside of a few ideas that didn't get expounded on. Still that could work for Silicon and Germanium, though was it an boss x underling type thing at first or coworkers?
>>1943888
Honestly it was to help the idea of them being firefighters . They could be average but being taller could help them though it doesn't have to be outrageously tall. ~5'10" maybe 6' at the most.
>>1943882
>Wood's metal
Ah, right you are.
Don't know fusible alloys too well myself, outside of that they've got a lot of bismuth usually.
>>1943895
>though was it an boss x underling type thing
We don't that that dynamic in canon yet, though with the thread pushing for incestuous big sis Silicon, that would be quite in-character.
>>1943870
is their dispatcher americium? its used in smoke detectors
>>1943883
Germanium is a bit less mentally stable than silicon, (Ge breaks down in diodes at a much lower temperature than silicon, which is why silicon is much more common)I'm taking electrical engineering classes and that is like 25% of what i remember from that class

Who is Uranium being paired with anyway?
also merry christmas metall/u/rgy
(What metals are used in tinsel, anyway?)
>>1944136
From wikipedia:
>It was originally a metallic garland for Christmas decoration. The modern production of tinsel typically involves plastic, and is used particularly to decorate Christmas trees. It may be hung from ceilings or wrapped around statues, lampposts, and so on. Modern tinsel was invented in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1610, and was originally made of shredded silver.
>By the early 20th century, manufacturing advances allowed cheap aluminum-based tinsel, and until World War I, France was the world leader in its manufacture. Production was curtailed during the First World War as a result of wartime demand for copper.
>Lead foil was a popular material for tinsel manufacture for several decades of the 20th century. Unlike silver, lead tinsel did not tarnish, so it retained its shine. However, use of lead tinsel was phased out after the 1960s due to concern that it exposed children to a risk of lead poisoning.
>Modern tinsel is typically made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film coated with a metallic finish.[5] Coated mylar film also has been used.[3] These plastic forms of tinsel do not hang as well as tinsel made from heavy metals such as silver and lead.
>>1944136
>Who is U being paired with anyway?
Robots! Seriously though, I think the only current possibility is Thorium though that's more from a lacking of exploring Uranium as a character.
Right now she's more of just an off-screen inventor and pioneer of science than an actual personification.
>Tinsel
Silver was originally used for tinsel but it tarnished too quickly so it got replaced over the years. Lead was also used but that got phased out in the 60s because of the risk to children.
>>1944145
I know Thoriium is used somewhere in the nuclear power process, so they could be coworkersi only know that because i read "the radioactive b** scout
Do we have a boron? maybe carbon's next-door neighbor?
>>1944158
They pretty much are.
Thorium and Uranium are the "parents" of most or all of the robot girls because of their usage in the nuclear process so yeah they see each other pretty frequently. Now whether they can stand each other for long times is up to debate.
>>1944136
I just remembered but I'm pretty sure one anon made the possible joke suggestion that Uranium could be paired with Neptunium as well.
Personality I'd say Plutonium over Neptunium if we were to pair U with another radioactive element that's natural.

Maybe not a complete one, I'd say similar to the dog fur color blue. So I guess she was one in her youth, but she grayed early perhaps. They are in their mid 40s I think? Maybe slightly under Mercury in age but above AuAg if I recall right.

Or they can leave it as is, it's suppose to be subtle after all.
Honestly I don't really see the need to have Caesium be asian or partly asian just because the metal is slightly gold. As for Francium, really, Francium? I wouldn't expect asian from such a name.

Americium's naturally occurring though, just very rare.
Robots are Einsteinium and above.
>>1944722
95 to 118 are the robots. If Americium occurs it's probably in a decay chain, which is something of an iffy spot currently, and even if there was some on earth it's probably gone by now considering it's half-life in comparison to the earth's age.
That said the reason why it's a robot is because it's mostly synthesized over found.

>>1944773
>natural fission reactors
u wot m8
>>1944774
maybe they mean natural fission reactions*?
>>1944775
but that wouldn't work, it would require heavier elements to be part of the process in order to make americium.
Maybe natural fusion reactions, like stars?
>>1944777
I should specifically add to this that somewhat counterintuitively, you can't make extremely heavy elements in a conventional fusion reaction.
Basically anything heavier than iron is formed by neutron capture and beta decay, normally in supernovae.
>>1944790
>ok, i knew that, i was just generalizing 'stars' to include sup[ernovae, because they are part of the star life cycle.
Ah, I see what you mean I guess. You specified fusion, so I'd thought you meant just straight up stellar fusion rather than all the fun stuff that happens when they die.
Natural fission reactors are one of my favourite geological features, bar none.
>>1944797
since you seem knowledgeable, theoretically, could an artificial fusion reactor go supernova?
>>1944800
>could an artificial fusion reactor go supernova?
Not really, no.
In almost every case supernova isn't caused by a fusion reaction, at least not directly; it's caused by the star growing so massive that its own gravity causes it to collapse. If we had enough mass to cause a supernova in an artificial reactor, gravity would have long since destroyed the Earth.
There's also supernovae caused by fusion ignition of a white dwarf star, but synthesis of white dwarf star matter requires a similar amount of gravity.in other news, big FeC fic first chapter will be first-draft tomorrow morning

What if Hydrogen and Helium were visiting aliens, and have totally different philosophies about how to best observe the terrestrials?
Hydrogen goes full Kirk and has at least one lady in her pants every night, while Helium is the standoffish "we must observe remotely with minimal interference" type?
>>1944965
I'd be careful of mindless sex, and just careful in general when dealing with the non-metals. It was just an idea but jumping to that so quickly isn't really the best sign. Though Helium's attitude is a nice reference.
>>1944966
Well, the reason I went for it was it's hydrogen, it bonds with everything, very fire, that sort of thing. I dunno, I'll wait for a writefag to be awake or something.
>>1944967
It was a decent idea, it's just be wary because of the numerous things Hydrogen can be involved in. That's all.

That doesn't work so well for Lead, since I think she was a physicist (radiation shielding) and is the more collected half of SnPb in general.
>>1945821
Why? Chaos is what is usually seen as corruption, not Evil or Law. A Lawful Evil being will always stay within the confines of the laws of the system to get what they want, while a Chaotic Evil being will break all of the laws just for the sake of braking all of the laws.
I;m not even saying that Chaos is bad, it's just that that is how the alignments work. I personally always prefer Chaos to Law and would love for the world to be gripped in Anarchy, but as it stands, Chaos is most often seen as the corrupter, not Evil by itself.
>>1946083

Except that in common discourse, "corrupt" often refers to very Lawful things: corporations, politicians, military juntas...

So just Hilde for short? We don't really use them, pretty sure the reason why Flonium used Aurora and Agatha was from the potential run over with the pokemon fandom who have actual characters named Gold and Silver.
>>1946105
Yes. Corrupting things that should follow laws. Chaos corrupts things that are lawful.
In truth, though, opposites corrupt their opposites. Chaos is corrupted by Law; Law is corrupted by Chaos; Good is corrupted by Evil; Evil is corrupted by Good. However, it is usually seen that Good and Law are the norm, so Chaos and Evil are the corrupter.
Yes we are FAR off topic, and that is why I've been sageing my replies.
What's the domestic life of each of the couples like?

It's a way for me as the narrator to doubt Mercury's claims about her research.

Pb and Ag are the same age, and Mercury is seven years older, for me Pb and Ag would've have met at 6 when they were in school, but Hg knew Ag since before that and took care of her when she was a toddler.
Pb and Ag are besties, and Hg is the reliable big sister of both.
>>1947727
While Thorium's definitely U's partner, I think it's always been used in the professional sense when it comes to the gynoids they make. I do think that they are as thick as thieves though and probably see each other as sisters despite no blood relation.
Radium is interesting since she has never been talked about, coupled with her placement on the table and how she's naturally clear, what if she was a computer system that Uranium and Thorium have had since their undergrad days or something and they've just been upgrading her throughout the years to the point where she's a step or two away from being a realized AI or at least the beginning of one.
The other thought I had for her, amounted to her being a ghost or similar to the invisible man where it was through ThU's inquisitiveness that made them reach out and help Ra and developed black bandages she could wrap herself in to help establish a physical presence.
Not sure about Actinium and Proactinum, maybe friends of Ra that believed her to be real before the three met ThU. This is going off the notion and possible acceptance that Radium is like the invisible man. If nothing else, the three could definitely be friends. Obviously Pa might look up to Th more than U or what have you all things considered.
Np and Pu, I could see them being assistants. Maybe they're U's cousins from the old country and they came to live with her because of reasons and they applied to be her assistants. And maybe Np has a bit of a crush on her cousin, something completely harmless. Not like U would ever return her feelings.

Thallium's tricky, skimming over quickly. Only idea that's coming to mind is that she was a farm girl that got interested in poisons, might've worked with Potassium for a year or so, but realized farming wasn't for her and became a doctor.

>>1947727
>>1947758
2/2
I don't have much of an idea for Polonium outside of maybe being friends with Pb/Bi. Like a girl in their neighborhood that was a year or two younger and clicked more with Bi than Pb.
Europium I feel should know Yttrium and Yttrium's sisters (Erbium, Terbium, Ytterbium) and maybe Thorium because it can be also be found in Mozanite. I still think she should be more computer heavy than robot heavy though there's not much basis when Silicon and Germanium probably have better usage. Thus making Promethium closer to software or some such than hardware that the gynoids are.
However thinking upon this, I like the idea that ThU are still the founders, pioneers, and creators of gynoids and that Promethium's creation might've stemmed more from some drunk jealous fit on Europium's part. Where Europium's development of Promethium's mind was decades ahead of ThU's work but the body's on par with some of their older model gynoids.
Promethium, well my ideas for her are kind of intermixed with Europium though maybe she's friends with Samarium and Neodymium to varying degrees. Though I'm of the idea that Promethium ended up revealing herself before Europium was finished with her through the internet possibly or some other method leading Europium to be credited with something in gynoid development that might possibly lead to Europium putting her head together with ThU in the future.
>>1947751
Alright, well again it should be up against research to help emphasize that.
As for them being the same age, well I feel dumb for forgetting that, but they could've been neighbors in their childhood. Either way that's not really a complaint. Everything is reasonable, I was just stating that they could've met each other earlier before school but again everything works.

Also, Polonium is Bismuth's friend, Thallium a farm girl gifted for making homebrew inseticids, but didn't really enjoyed farm work, so she went to work with Arsenic in her pest control business.
I need some more brainstorming for Radium, Actinium and Proactinium
>Alright, well again it should be up against research to help emphasize that.
But it's a declarative sentence, so it'd be weird to have an interrogatiopn mark out of nowhere.
>>1947850
Going by real world chronology, Technetium was the first synthetic element created, in 1936. Then Astatine, Neptunium, and Plutonium came along in 1940. This is why I cast Technetium as being so close with Dr. U, since she was Dr. U's first robot girl.
>>1942526
Molybdenum and Steel should be best friends, since about 86% of the world's Mo production is used in (steel) alloys.
>>1947858
And Molybdenum should go to college as a metallurgy major, when/if she's old enough.
>>1947850
>Thallium works with Arsenic
Maybe, I could see her helping with it but that became prohibited because of health issues. I fully meant her being a doctor when I suggested it, I was originally thinking heart doctor but a Tc isotope replaced Thallium's purpose iirc. Maybe she fell into being an eye doctor.
However I kind of agree with >>1947855 in that the "prototype" that is Technetium should probably happen first. Outside of having ThU being the founders of applicable cybernetics in this setting, the actual work with meshing the two together would help them (ThU) with the finer internal systems. Especially with the fact that gynoids are humanoids.
I do like the notion that the first generation are built with specific purposes in mind. I would keep in mind that ThU probably upgrades them every few years as their technology increases.
>>1947871
>However I kind of agree with >>1947855 in that the "prototype" that is Technetium should probably happen first.
But Technium would actually be the prototype for the polyvalent gynoids, Am, Cm, Bk and Cf are specialized hardware but the first polyvalent gynoid would be a combination of tech used in Tc with programing from Pm.
>>1947869
>Isn't Mo already Steel's step-mom ?
Yeah, or at least was in a relationship with Carbon. Doesn't mean she couldn't be in college or something trying to pick up a technical craft while raising Tc.
>>1947878
I see her as significantly older, already having a job when she got Tc.
>>1947881
Fair enough, I imagined her with a more stable job when she was worrying over Tc.
>>1947876
Alright, having thought on it, I can see your reasoning. What's really getting me is how she became a cyborg. I like illness more than an accident as a kind of overt reference to radiation poisoning. Both have merits depending on how obvious you want her cybernetics to be.
>>1947918
>Alright, having thought on it, I can see your reasoning
To elaborate, my reasoning is that it would be weird that ThU could make a cyborg on their very first try. That's where the specialized gynoids come into play, they serve as experiments for ThU, especially surgeon gynoid Bk who tested Uranium's high dexterity hands.
>I like illness more than an accident as a kind of overt reference to radiation poisoning
The thing is that an illiness will not make a very demonstrative cyborg, unless her illiness requires replacing her limbs.
>>1947944
Better ask Viraemia about dem necrotic illnesses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV2xRwiLAww
>>1947944
>The thing is that an illness will not make a very demonstrative cyborg, unless her illness requires replacing her limbs.
Yeah though it could depending on the disease and whether or not it's super progressed and it'd be better to remove a limb or two that suffered heavily since it might not recover naturally. Depends on the disease or illness.
>>1947962
Well, that's going beyond my knowledge, a more medically inclined anon would have to flesh it out.
>>1947972
True, however the flaw in my argument is that radiation poisoning is largely internal. It doesn't really affect the limbs and skeletonal structure. Might affect the skin and hair but the limbs would largely be fine.
Here's an idea, it could be both. She might've survived the crash and recovered. Maybe not completely but not to the point of having to be the first cyborg. However, her illness struck back with a unexpected fierceness and that's what led to her needing the cybernetics.
>>1947980
Clearly it needs to be a space shuttle crashand she's saved by a giant robotic lion
Is anyone against the idea of Uranium being something of a silver fox?
Maybe not old but definitely lost hair color early. Say like highschool, her hair started to become silver which makes me think she might've been blonde as a child.
Eye color shouldn't need to be said when all things are considered.I'm saying they should be green, lime green possibly, depends on the shade.
Thorium obviously is some nordic woman with aryan features and probably isn't bothered by storms.

>not Iron
I don't know which elements are gamma radioactive, that'd probably be Hulk.
>>1948405
Okay so it'd be a weird case of Iron being the original and Aluminium being war machine or something.
As for gamma radiation. Really any of the more hallmark radioactive elements so probably Uranium if only because it's so common thought of as the radioactive element. A K isotope produces them, along with Tc uses them as well.
>>1948405
>which elements are gamma radioactive
Gamma rays are just high-energy photons really, they usually accompany most nuclear reactions.
I always think polonium, but it's more of an alpha source; it does, however, glow blue.
>>1948328
>Is anyone against the idea of Uranium being something of a silver fox?
One thing I have against is that we already have a lot a silver foxes, and Uranium is an occasion to liven up things a bit.
>>1948411
Fair enough, I kind of forgot that. I just kind of want to avoid having something out there like green or something for it's shade. Well if not silver, what about blonde?
>>1948412
Uranium could be gold-haired, going by yellowcake.
>>1948412
Actually I was thinking brigth green, like Gaia in Frivolesque.
The reasoning is that it's the romantic cultural view that radioactive material glow and Uranium in particular is fluorescent green (it was the case in Civ 5).
Also, Uranium glass is bright green under UV light.
Thorium could be the beautiful scandinavian lady.
>>1948420
>bright green
And this is why I was going for silver or blonde.
Aside from the fact that she already livens things up by making gynoids, she doesn't need such a blatant tip off.
Plus I suggested a way for green to be linked to her with her eye color. If we want to stress the color so much we could say that they glow to help drive that point home.
If that's not a defining trait for U then the thread could think up something. Like her wardrobe could be focused on greens but green hair is a bit much. Also it's not like blonde wouldn't really be out of place on her with what >>1948419 said.
>>1948423
Aren't green eyes just as bad? Also Francium has them.
>>1948435
Green eyes occur naturally though?
>>1948435
No? Well it'd be more interesting if the eyes were utilized more. So far everyone has pretty normal eyes, outside of possibly the robits, Tc, and Promethium. It also would allow for that "irradiated" glow to be more of a physical trait on her. Something that's kind of like an iconic trait of Uranium.
Even better, if she had to teach in some capacity, a few of her students could spread a rumour around about how looking too long into her eyes causes nausea or produces an ill-like sensation that takes a few hours to go away.
>>1948442
>Even better, if she had to teach in some capacity, a few of her students could spread a rumour around about how looking too long into her eyes causes nausea or produces an ill-like sensation that takes a few hours to go away.
I'm not big on that to be honest.

So if there was a sadistic element, which would it be?Arsenic?
>>1948525
Maybe one of the REE's, though I don't think they'd get up to the level you're probably thinking of.Alternatively: Florine, Chlorine orOxygen
>>1948525
Hydrogen is pretty mean to Steel, but I'm not sure I would call it sadism.
>>1948531
>the level you're probably thinking o
I didn't mean g/u/ro or anything. Just regular sadism, or at most, something along the lines of Rooftop.
I thought of Florine and Chlorine too, but they're part of that gas section we're avoiding right now. My other thought was Mercury, but she's already done and went more the alchemy route than the toxic one.
>>1948540
>Rooftop
That the one where the bully threatens to gouge out the girl's eye unless she's quiet while she gets molested?
That's still a bit much but meh. I'd say one of the radioactive ones possibly. Their uses are narrower, and they come with a bunch of interesting things that could lend to sadism.
Like Thorium being pyrophoric if it's finely divided. Plutonium has some interesting stuff, though it really comes down to how do you want to paint a physical or chemical trait into the personality trait sadism. Anything pyrophoric, is probably more angry or furious to varying degrees than straight up sadistic.
>>1948550
>a bunch of interesting things that could lend to sadism.
Sadism is literally the least interesting aspect a fictional character can have.
>>1948557
Yeah well some people want it. Thankfully not many of the elements being used approach it.
>>1948560
In an universe like Metall/u/rgy filled with social interactions, a sadist character will inevitably be isolated from the rest...unless she constantly gets away with it which would be even worse.
It sort of work with a limited cast and a focused story, in other words, the opposite of Metall/u/rgy
>>1948550
>That the one where the bully threatens to gouge out the girl's eye unless she's quiet while she gets molested
Imouto, please.
She points a sharp barrette at her eye to emphasize the point she's making about kids having to resort to violence, not to threaten her into silence. That comes later, when she tells her to be quiet and threatens to cut her if she moves, not gouge her eye out.
>one of the radioactive ones
I actually felt the opposite. Radioactive things are radioactive, it's just in their nature to be unstable and dangerous, they're better suited for things like yandere, insanity, etc. There's a lot of things that are dangerous by virtue of being radioactive, so it'd be strange to pick one of them to be sadistic, especially when it's really the radiation that is the problem, not the element itself. Sadism isn't hurting people out of nowhere from instability, it's deliberate and methodical.
Which reminds me:
>>1945021
I think Francium should be changed a bit. I get the logic behind the agoraphobia, due to Fr's lack of natural occurrence and rapid decay, but it seems strange to me that both Fr and Cs suffer from agoraphobia. Imo Francium's instability should be played up, it's by far the most unstable non-artificial element, I think that's a bigger feature than it being rare and disappearing quickly--which should probably be Astatine's thing, given the element's rarity; a hardcore hikkikomori that suffers intense panic attacks from physical contact with anyone (except perhaps a single girl from the group that can form compounds with As? Or one of the artificial, since they aren't "people" and might not trigger the condition)
Anyway, sadism seems like it should be something that's toxic, as opposed to radioactive; and Arsenic, Mercury and Lead are the most well known for that, metals wise.
>>1948573
How about we just drop the sadism thing since it usually doesn't go anyway where and the other anon has a point about how it's too big of a cast.
>>1948557
>Being continuously upbeat and optimistic is literally the least interesting aspect a fictional character can have.
Yes.
>>1948563
>>1948575
I disagree.
First, this assumes that the rest know the sadist is a sadist, it's something that's very easy to hide.It's not like the world isn't filled with sadists who have regular social interactions like anyone else.
Second, just because it's built on interaction doesn't mean every character needs to interact with every other one. Francium's current concept is a good example of a character that does not interact with many others characters, at all. Agoraphobia is way more of an isolating factor than sadism is. There are connections between various elements, but not all of them need, or even should be connected and interacting. Tin for example, doesn't need to have dealings with Uranium and the artificial program, and Bismuth doesn't need to know AuAg beyond their names. There's no reason a sadist element, even one who's nature is known, couldn't still have interactions with other characters and close connections with one or two. If anything the size of the cast makes it more viable, not less. Being isolated in a small cast means zero interaction, being isolated in a big cast still allows for interaction and connection to a few characters. See Touhou's Yuuka.
>>1948573
>given the element's rarity; a hardcore hikkikomori that suffers intense panic attacks from physical contact with anyone
That's already sort of the case.
>>1948580
>Francium's current concept is a good example of a character that does not interact with many others characters, at all.
Francium is isolated because of her condition, not her behavior.
Francium will always be in the sidelines and not involved in the big social interactions, but Francium is being supported by her cousin Rubidium, a sadist characters will just be shunned by her peers (rightly so).
>>1948589
The two are not separate.
Francium is isolated because her condition (agoraphobia) causes her behavior (vehemently avoiding social interaction whenever possible, remaining indoors, etc)
A sadist is isolated because her condition (paraphilia) causes her behavior (taking pleasure from the discomfort, humiliation, pain, etc., of others.)
But really, this is kind of a strawman to begin with, since the whole point wasn't that francium's isolation is somehow her fault--the point was that "that character would be isolated and not fit in because of lack of social interaction!" is a poor argument when there are already existing characters who are even more isolated and even less socially interactive.
Also I sort of get the feeling you think that being a sadist means you are a psychopathic serial killer/rapist who enjoys cutting people into little bits. Which is sort of like thinking that being a gay female means you have short cropped hair, a square jaw, bulky muscles and wear faded jeans and plaid. Most sadists in the world aren't shunned, because the only people who know they are a sadist are their partner and maybe a couple close friends. There's no reason anyone else would know, it's not like most people walk around work broadcasting that sort of thing.
>>1948600
>the point was that "that character would be isolated and not fit in because of lack of social interaction!" is a poor argument when there are already existing characters who are even more isolated and even less socially interactive.
The point is the reason of their isolation
For Francium her isolation is the initial point of her social interaction, starting from there is Rubidium interacting with her, and potentially evolving from there, same thing can be said for Astatine and Palladium.
For a sadist character, isolation is the outcome of their social interaction, because people don't have a good reason to be with a sadist and simply shun them.
>>1948605
Do people have a good reason to be with a character that fundamentally avoids social interaction and has panic attacks from being near/touched by other people?
>>1948607
Rubidium and Palladium have, because they want to help them, they want them so get better.
>>1948600
It's the way people bandied it about in the previous threads. When someone suggested sadism they also coupled it with psychopathy because it was for the radioactives iirc or it was basically their defining trait. Sure "reasonable" sadism is probably expected and Aluminium and/or Gold are probably sadistic to a degree. Gold more through apathy and schadenfreude than Aluminium's warm fuzzies she gets from watching other fail while she's caught up in her competitive nature, but when someone wants to bring that out the past experience dictates that the argument for it would always be to an extreme. Leading to it getting shot down rather quickly or being ignored.
Honestly, I feel the more corrosive elements would be where a sadistic personality would become more overt or at least readily exhibited however the thread's largely been focusing on metals.
>>1948608
Is that somehow different or more valid than X element loving Y sadistic element, and wanting to help them deal with their tendencies in a safe and controlled manner, or wanting them to "get better"?
>>1948611
>Leading to it getting shot down rather quickly or being ignored.
Makes sense.
And yeah, I agree that corrosive would definitely be the thing to look for when it comes to more overt, Fluorine would be great for it, but I suppose I'll just wait for the if/when on non-metals being addressed.

Depends on what Y actually is.
>>1948618
Pretty sure Y is Yttrium

Oh, /u/.

Essentialy the same as before but a bit more meaty.

>Hydrogen is mean to Steel
Not really.
Oxygen and Nitrogen are kind of detrimental when it comes to welding: welded metal is stronger than the base metal used for the parts to be joined, having better properties and so on. However, exposure to the O&N present in the air at the moment of welding weakens the joint and robs it from it's functionability.
In order to avoid such fate, when welding with SMAW, the filler-metal rod produces a protection gas that negates the contact with O&N during the filler metal deposit (in fusion state). That gas is Hydrogen.
However, given the diferentes types of Steel and it's properties, sometimes Hydrogen is detrimental as well, so there are different types of filler-metal rods for each case and one of them is the low-hydrogen class, which negates H itself during the welding.
On a sidenote:
- H is useful in plasma cutting.
- O is useful in oxyfuel welding/cutting.
- There are other protection gases, like Argon.
Also, CLASS-M is present in both the base metal and the coating of the filler-metal rods.
This is amazing.

Looking good, I'm liking the bit about Uranium and hints about the gynoids.http://pastebin.com/MihPfGBq
>>1949208
Thanks, I'll try to update the last Akalis before long.
>I'm liking the bit about Uranium and hints about the gynoids.
It's a sizable piece of lore, the bare bones draft of Uranium's profile has twelve names in the relationship section, and all of them are involved in the gynoid program.
>>1949239
So any hints regarding who might be paired with Uranium?
>>1949254
U is shippable with a lot of elements, but I'm staying neutral for now. I'd be up to the thread to decide a pairing, personally I don't really have a preference.
>>1949254
I think U is the true harem queen of metall/u/rgy.
>>1949327
carlos I swear to christ
>>1949335
We're on /u/ onee-san. Wouldn't it be Carles?
>>1949317
Not much of a harem if there's three girls so far, maybe four if things progress with Mo.
This might be going out on a limb but what if Uranium's girl was Nitrogen? Referencing Uranium nitride. It's not much to go on without getting deeper into nuclear stuff but it'd be interesting to see.
>>1949327
Took you long enoughbitch.
>>1949386
TcU and ThU are the big ones I've seen in the thread, maybe LiU
I could see PuU and NpU being things as well, as well as basically any of the synthetics. Most of the radioactive as well, and she might have had a one-sided thing for Lead at some point.
>>1949336
Carla?
>>1949399
And Si, Eu...
Though I see Th as a programming genius and ship her with AI Promethium.
>>1949429
I think it's "Car-les" as in lesbian.
still, falls a bit flat
>>1949440
>Yeah I've might've spoken too soon. I could see a one-side admiration U could have for Si but not so much Lead.
My plan is that ThUPb and EuSi were two separate teams, that joined force to create the first proper gynoids. Maybe U was attracted to Pb but then crushed on Si or Eu afterwards.
>>1949605
Sounds reasonable, even if it I'd rather have U not reacting to Lead at all outside of being a co-worker then friend. It also sounds like Eu, Si, Th, and U might be in their forties or late thirties.
Should be interesting to read all in all.
>>1949610
>It also sounds like Eu, Si, Th, and U might be in their forties or late thirties.
The main question is how old are Tc and Mo and critically, at which age was Tc turned into a cyborg.
>>1949612
Mo's old enough to have Tc "on time" so probably around Carbon's age, maybe a little older. Now for Tc, realistically, the best case scenario would be when she's an adult or done growing but if the thread wants to keep up the idea that Mo and Tc see U as family then Tc has to be turned when she's younger. Personally I would go with 8~10 however an accident can happen whenever so maybe going into the start of her teens if accident is how it happens.
>>1949615
The growing bit especially applies with the fact that Tc possibly gets her spine replaced. That's better done on an adult than a child.
