Continued from >>1942526
Questions to help expand on some elements:
Should Si be six years older than her imouto C or four?
Are Thallium and Arsenic friends from their love of pesticides or something more?
Why would Boron, the dusky beauty that she is, be helping Uranium?
Will Titanium's family ever be fleshed out?
Do C and Zr get funds from the cartel they are apart of?
When will Thorium get it together and ask out Sifium?
Is Copper actually adopted or are AuAg actually her parents?
>>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 small amounts of science and large amounts of "this would be cute" when it comes to establishing an element or couple.

>>1958056
Nice timing with the new thread, vacation is over but I can start working on a Co, Cr and Stellite family trip fic.
Meanwhile, I've added U and Cm to Hg's profile
I've also added a past relationship between Co and W, to play a bit more Co's use in many alloys. I've also changed Sm a bit.
And Si should be 4 years older than C.
>>1958063
Copper's conductivity is only surpassed by silver's. Does it mean those two become aroused to the brink each time they touch?
>>1958404
>Copper becomes hot off her mom
That's an interesting thought. I don't think they'd become aroused because of thow the family is set up but, perhaps, when Copper was younger Silver could inadvertently fluster her in some manner. Probably by being able to pin down what was bothering her daughter or something.
I can just see it now, Gold has no idea what's causing little Copper to be so happy lately when Silver makes a remark about their daughter having a crush on 'x'. Leading to a rather obvious moment where Copper denies it emphatically with a def-con level blush.
>>1958395http://pastebin.com/CWsq0Hmt
So do you think ThU dabbled with soft robotics for Bk, Cf, and Es?
>>1958404
It could be an inherited trait from Silver, that Silver and Copper are rather sensitive on their erogenous zones leading to Gold teasing Silver to death when she's in a playful mood. Not sure about Copper.
>>1958056
Why Lead x Tin?
Seems kind of an odd pair.
>>1958949
They're usage in Terne and Pewter, however it largely stemmed from tin whiskering and needing lead to not fall apart. It just kind of stuck.
The fic flonium made for the couple gives a better idea of why they're together in the notes at the end.
Not for Bk or Cf, but for Es and onwards, yes. My idea of Cf is inspired by that pastebin altTc.
Also thanks for the proofreading
I can't understand anything about chemistry or combination of elements, but I love that idea! You are so creative! I want to see more about that.
Regarding the idea of Zamaks that was mentioned last thread: they have such varied uses it'd be hard to find what they could be in the setting.
Automotive parts might be niche enough for them to get their footing as a business. Any ideas?
>>1959296
This is the fourth thread we've gone through.
Is there any development for mercury yet?
She should be an immortal as well as wise and knowledgeable as she spent all that time learning.
>>1959566
There's a profile for her found here http://archiveofourown.org/works/5558582/chapters/12821414
Along with the fact that one of her assistants is a gynoid, not much else has been developed. As for the immortality thing, it could actually be a thing though it's not presented that way. She is also the oldest element so far.
>>1958058
What is the deal with the number below the chemical symbol?
In some it's the atomic weight, in others it's just random numbers.
Also, Chlorine/Fluorine NTR duo when?
>>1960134
Year-zero ages of personifications. Weights are just there when we don't have anything else, it's probably a good idea to take them out.
>>1960140
While interesting for Iron, it wouldn't be quite doable since her age is part of the foundation for Carbon's Class-M harem and steel's age.
Beryllium on the other hand could definitely be more interesting. Only thing really known about her is that she's Aluminium's rival and I think the age given was to help established the top gun reference with how they were in the air force. It actually would be interesting if Beryllium wasn't just Aluminium's rival but also her senpai and something of an older sister/motherfigure later on.
Lithium, yeah I could see her being older though that would push her need to help begin setting up Sodium as the heir more apparent.
>>1960140
>I've been thinking about that, maybe we should make Lithium (alternatively, Berillium) the oldest ones. Maybe iron would work as well, since it's the final product of stellar fusion.
Mercury is the oldest as a reference to its historical associations with immortality and the "prima materia" (first material) of alchemy, fitting with Mercury's general alchemical theme.
while I'm here, flonium Q&A I guess
still writan FeC and AgAu-as-grandparents fics
>>1960230
Will you update Carbon's profile when Silicon gets fleshed out somemore?
>>1960232
Yeah, I need to go back and update Carbon to be drawfag-compliant and to discuss more of what we know about Class M in general.
I've been forgetting because my time for /u/ has been put towards writing, and cut down by work and the fact that I never get enough done on the holidays
>>1960230
>while I'm here, flonium Q&A I guess
Is there anyone good to pair Bronze and Brass with? They'd have to similarly be TBA alloys at year zero obviously
>>1960237
Out of the three remaining ones, it's the carbon version of what you have for Mn.
Mo-chan was developed in conjunction with Uranium at the time and there was an idea tossed around that while Tc was in the hospital Mo kind of ran into Carbon and they kind of became friends or something. Not much was discussed about how they could've been involved. There was some bit in U's profile where it stated she(U) likes to tease Mo
Silicon has scantly been discussed. The idea so far is that she is Carbon's older sister and was the one who was first with Carbon. They got caught and she was sent away since Carbon was 12 at the time. And that a possible girlfriend for her is Germanium since they're used in semiconductors.
>>1960241
After a point we sort of run into the issue where, beyond alloys of metals known since antiquity, there's not that many named alloys, and names like Ti-6Al-7Nb aren't really suited to characters.
I'm not actually too up on usage of alloys compared to elements, I'm not actually a metallurgist (or even a chemist, I just worked for a chemical company for a while).
Their only real contemporaries are the Chromium/Nickel alloys, so I suppose it's a question of which of Nichrome, Inconel, and Chromel is left alone if we must pair up everyone.
>>1960245
I've been following the threads so I know the general trend, it's just that I'm forgetful about actually updating profiles. I'll do it later tonight
>>1960251
>Ti-6Al-7Nb
Speaking of Ti, who's her love interest if the Copperbowl is over?
Is that formula with Nb in it a regular thing?
>>1960253
Ti's kind of been put on the way side unfortunately. Last time she even came close to being discussed was one of the questions in the previous OP and this OP.
Funny enough I could actually see her with Steel if Terne wasn't gonna sink her fangs into Steel.
>>1960253
There's a few names in Titanium's profile that I haven't mentioned here because people haven't been talking about her much.
For starters, in general use Titanium is typically alloyed with aluminium and vanadium; pure elemental titanium has far fewer use cases. Titanium and vanadium are also periodic table neighbours.
>>1960260
Vanadium's been talked about. Discussed is another matter. Aluminium well maybe she's interning at Aluminium's business for experience while in uni.
What does she and Vanadium do when present together?I am still rather fond of the idea that Ti has some familial connection to either Adamantine or Mithril though that's probably a bit dumb.
>>1960265
>maybe she's interning at Aluminium's business for experience while in uni.
Which is pretty much what I had in mind.
The main thing that vanadium does in alloys with titanium is stabilise the beta phase (not unlike lead when alloyed with tin, though unlike alpha tin, alpha titanium has its own uses), which functionally increases its strength and heat tolerance while (chiefly and crucially) making the alloy heat-treatable where regular titanium isn't.
I hadn't really considered much about Ti ships but that's the point I'd start from.
>>1960253
>who's her love interest if the Copperbowl is over?
Same question but with Platinum.
>>1960273
Pretty sure Cobalt was set up to be Plat's lover.
>>1960270
>The main thing that vanadium does in alloys with titanium is stabilise the beta phase (not unlike lead when alloyed with tin, though unlike alpha tin, alpha titanium has its own uses), which functionally increases its strength and heat tolerance while (chiefly and crucially) making the alloy heat-treatable where regular titanium isn't.
What if Vanadium's a flirt, like constantly flirts and teases Ti. To the point where she's one of the only people still able to make Ti blush and flustered. Maybe something happens after year zero and they get a deeper connection but sounds like she might've been a coworker in the past that became a drinking buddy.
>>1960273
Cobalt. PtCo alloys are used in jewelry and magnets.
>>1960277
Or maybe they met in uni and were stuck with each other for a term project or something.
Depends on what V and Ti do, really.
>>1960282
Vdoesn't do video games that's for sure
More seriously, outside of what Flonium(I think) said regarding the actual processes. V works in the cosmetic industry or will because of her oxidation states. Also kind of felt lilke she was perhaps out of college unless it's some extra courses she's picking up.
>>1960285
>V works in the cosmetic industry or will because of her oxidation states.
I'd think that would be more of a hobby unless Vanadium is actually used in cosmetics, does someone who actually knows what they're talking about care to weigh in?
>>1960287
>does someone who actually knows what they're talking about care to weigh in?
Vanadium is toxic.
>>1960287
I can see V with cosmetics as a hobby and Sb (and Bi ?) actually working in the industry.
Co/Cr/Stellite fic is basically finished, but there's still proofreading to do.
Meanwhile, I went at the gym, and a guy I saw there sparked inspiration for Ra (and subsequently Ac and Pa).
Radium is a young woman who has had a weak condition since birth and was often sick and bedriden in hospital. She has a weak voice and a discreet personality (referencing pure Radium's apparence), and she cupies herself with painting (referencing Radium's use as fluorescent paint for watches)
Also, her human surname has to be Fryer
Actium is Radium's childhood friend, she has a extremely nervous personality and worries all the time about Radium, whom she never leaves. Possible Ra pairing but up to debate.
Proactinium is Actinium's mother and was deeply invested in Radium's well being. Other than that I see her as a socialy awkward person who's rather stay at home, from where she works.
I also thought that Ac was Pa and U's child, but that U never knew about it since Pt and U were in their teenage years, and Pa disappeard in her early pregnancy, but that might be trying too hard to link the elements between them.
>>1960382
Sounds pretty reasonable for Radium though I'd like to add that perhaps she looks up to U as being an example to work towards. After all, U probably suffers or suffered something similar to what the other radioactive girls went through. Just that she had a better handle on it or something.
As for the idea of Ac being Pa and U's child, while a possibility, we should probably be wary with tossing out the teen pregnant thing so frequently. I suggest that it should be Th instead of U who could possibly be Ac's other mother, though maybe she's a result of a one night stand if Pa isn't actually Thorium's wife. If ThPa is actually a thing it could also explain a possible U connection to them as well if she became a family friend.
>>1960660
Totally agree, I like the idea of Ac being Th's child rather than U's.
>>1958056
i guess lead is my wife now i love trash
>>1960720
Wow Tin, that's pretty rude considering she turns you into puddy in bed. Are you trying to be a bad girl?
If we pair V with Ti, who do we pair Bi with, Po?
And what is Steel's pairing ?
>>1961104
Terne for Steel I think was winning the hearts and minds because of the real application compared to Electrum and Steel fitting archetypes.
Bi and Po could be together,, we'd have to flesh out Po. TiV is an interesting thought though, it would just need to be explored.
>>1961107
>Terne for Steel
That would open Electrum/Iridosmine, and do we have a pairing for Pewter ?
>>1961117
Nope, nothing for Pewter outside of her having a more artistic personality taking after Tin, lookin vg up to her aunt Gold and probably Co's apprentice iirc.
Co/Cr/Stellite fic done:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/5713543
>>1961460http://pastebin.com/jT0Q8BBn
Rather nice for what it sets out to be.
>>1961123
I thought she was looking up to Copper (since pewters usually contain Cu)?
>>1961823
You might be right, it's been a while since she's been talked about.
>>1961460
Huh, I did just sort of realise that Co and Cr are dating roommates. So they might run into each other on date night at some point, which would probably be awkward. (Steel is babysitting little Stellite, of course.)
>>1961877
And Plat's the only one who doesn't realize it yet.
>>1961877
No they don't live together, but since they are both raising Stellite, they occasionally go on holiday together.
>>1961951
They don't, but Pt and Ni do.
>>1962411
I find that a bit weird, by the way, Nickel's a high ranking employee in Iron's corp but lives in a dorm with an uni student.
>>1962655
>in a dorm
Who said it was a dorm? Students can live off campus, and maybe Nickel was renting out the room. Though yes her supposed rank within Iron's empire is a little unusual.
So I'm currently writing Ra's profile (ft Ac, Pa, U, Zr and Ta), hopefully it'll be finished by the end of the week.
Next I'll do a fic, if you want to see something in particular, I'm taking requests.
>>1962724
I would love to see how Tc befriended ThU, along with some MoU teasing on U's side after the operation if it goes that far.
>>1962727
>I would love to see how Tc befriended ThU,
That would need a couple chapters to do it justice, I'll look into it
>along with some MoU teasing on U's side after the operation if it goes that far.
Actually I see MoU teasing happening quite some time after the operation, mainly steaming from the fact that U became de facto Tc's second mother...actually I have some ideas, but it would take a different fic.
>>1962655
Isn't Pt also rich though? We don't know anything about their living situation.
Even then I've heard of people with six-figure salaries living in dives so they can take better vacations.
>>1962746
>Isn't Pt also rich though?
Plat mentions she has to make a choice about her car since she's on a budget.
>>1962745
>actually I have some ideas, but it would take a different fic.
I'd be fine with that, I just wanna see ThU in some capacity.
>>1962767
Right, I've worked out a plan for a three-chapter fic, would the thread prefer each chapter as they are written or all chapters at once ?
Radium's profile way sooner that I'd expected
http://archiveofourown.org/works/5558582/chapters/13213402
Also updated U's profile with a tweaked Ta entry and a new Ra one:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/5558582/chapters/12862312
Now that Tc, U, Mo and Th fic (first chapter will also feature Ta, Bk, Cf and Pb)
>>1963093http://pastebin.com/H3ksa7gu
I was a little surprised you went with Radium being bald. Interesting profile over all.
>>1963264
Thanks
>I was a little surprised you went with Radium being bald
I wrote this with the memory of a little girl that was in my class in elementary school, she was bald from chemotherapy.Sadly, she didn't make it
>>1963466Damn
It definitely looks for the character, it just kinda threw me off since it gave me a notion that she had cancer when I think the intention was just a weak constitution.
Welp that aside, I'm looking forward to the MoThUTc fic. I'll try and get any edits done as quick as possible when it's up.
>>1962763
Maybe Pd is the one handling the money because she's out of school, and Pt has limited personal spending?
I wonder how At and Co get along.
>>1963582
>I wonder how At and Co get along.
Quite well I'd say, Cobalt is a calming person when she's not teasing (which she wouldn't be around At).
Something dawn on me lately, if Tc is Mo's daughter, does that mean that Steel (and Terne) know Tc ?
>>1964149
Probably, the real question would be: did they know her before or after the accident?
>>1964150
That would depend on when Mo got involved with Steel, the accident happened when Steel was 12...I don't know what flonium had planned for Mo.
>>1964152
What? You mean when Tc became friends with Steel?
>>1964153
More like a big sister figure, Tc is 3 years older than Steel.
>>1964154
Well shit that kind of throws me off. In that case, if they do know each other it's probably through work or something.
>>1964155
Not necessarily, if Mo got involded with C, Tc and Steel would've met naturally.
>>1964157
If that's the case you could probably get away with Tc being in big sis status to Steel if the fic is a while after her operation.
>>1964783
It's before, after and a while after, Tc had big sis status before the accident.
>>1964843
Alright, first draft of the first chapter is finished and now is proofreading time.
It's....significantly longer than I'd expected.
It takes place befor the operation, 5 years before year zero, main chars are U and Tc and also starrs Mo, Ta, Pb, Th, Cf, Bk, Steel, Terne with a guest apperance of Carbon
>>1965798
Nice, sounds like it'll be an interesting read.

Well, you'll be the judge: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5762629/chapters/13277986

Very nice, everything thing about it flowed nicely and the end of it gave me some shivers despite knowing the success.I'll get around to editing it later tonight since there were some minor mistakes I spotted

I'll get the last part done tomorrow and I' will be forever grateful if, in the future, you could make sure all your question marks and exclamation points don't have spaces between them and a word.
>>1966423
Thanks
>look at their creator directly.
Nah, the gynoids are programmed to look at the person they're talking to, not just their creator.
It's a feature I imagined because the gynoids have very acute perception and don't need to actually look at people "in the eyes" to see them. But in order to avoid awkwardness in social situations, they're made to always look at their interlocutor.
>>1966456
Ah okay, it wasn't so much creator it was just I couldn't figure out what interlocutor meant.
That aside, I am loving it so far but I think I've said that too much already. I can't wait to see the while after chapter.
>>1966423http://pastebin.com/fU8YpNK0
With this, it has been edited.

The lower estimates say six thousand with severe lead poisoning. It could be as high as twelve.

Uhg. I live above the bridge, and have family down there. We make fun of trolls all the time, but goddamn. That shit's fucked.
>>1967046
>should I make MoU an actual couple in the third chapter
Like a recently formed couple or one that's been together for a few years? Up to you though I'd like the former. Especially if one of the events that got them together was Mo-chan finally expressing her jealous to Uranium about her importance in Technetium's life.
>>1967046
Yes!
Lifesver chapter 2 is fully written and now it's proofreading time.
It stars U, Mo, Tc, and Th, as well as appearances from Eu and Pm and there is Es' debut.

I wonder how Pm feels about inadvertently being one of the mothers of modern gynoids.
>>1971035
She's fond of them, as they are her family

Wonderful, I'll get around to editing itwhen I don't feel like death would be reliefthough it wouldn't hurt to get it one more look over.You refer to Tc as Mo-chan's sister near the end when they're talking to Einsteinium
>>1971180
>You refer to Tc as Mo-chan's sister near the end when they're talking to Einsteinium
Oops, I got mixed up with all those people, it's fixed.
>>1971145
So did Europium build Promethium with the idea in mind that she'd be her gf?
You know, cause of the reference.
>>1971718
Good question, I'll let the thread decide on this one.
>>1971718
Well, compared to the the other pre-Einsteinium gynoids, Promethium has a much more complex consciousness (her brain is literally a supercomputer/mainframe), so I think that she should be capable of complex feelings, such as love.
And I think if Europium and Promethium get together, it'll be more because it kinda just worked out that way, rather than Europium purpose-building Promethium as something to love her.
As for the Pygmalion reference, I think we should remember Thorium's unique sense of humor, and chalk it up to Thorium observing Europium and Promethium spending a lot of time together in the lab.
>>1971145
Alright finally done.http://pastebin.com/azviSYxA
That took longer than I expected though it was fun reading it.
Also if anyone didn't see it while scrolling past the general thread, another 4chan archive has popped up that included /u/, https://4ch.be/u/, It has all the previous metallurgy threads in case they need to be consulted.
>>1972092
>As for the Pygmalion reference
About that, someone in the thread made a Pygmalion reference for Uranium, but for various reasons I didn't see it work for Uranium, including the fact that she had so many potential Galateas, so that would've been complicated
Europium meanwhile only has Promethium so it works much better.
What Thorium says is not necessarily the reality, it's mostly her interpreation of the situations, that said I'm actually quite a favor for the Eu/Pm ship, especially since Pm is mostly a virtual entiety.
>>1972699
Done, thank you.
I'll begin the third chapter, which will have much more MoU, but I still plan some more worldbuilding, so if the thread has questions, even for just trivia, I'll try to make the characters answers them.
>>1972863
Would EuPm work like that one movie where Black Widow was the AI? Either way I figured it was more of a jab at a reason why Europium might've accidentally made Pm.
Are you gonna have a some evidence of Tc possibly crushing on some girl if it's beyond year zero?
>>1972863
Fuck I missed the correction for"Hey, you are the one who made this incredible spine" replied Tantalum.Gotta watch them quotation marks sis.
>>1972902
>Are you gonna have a some evidence of Tc possibly crushing on some girl if it's beyond year zero?
It's two years before Y0 and three years after chapter 1 so I don't really have a clue.
I personally quite like the idea of pairing her with Bk, in some sort of platonic relationship, but it's just an idea I had one day. IRL Technetium is used for enhancing Steel's corrosive resistance, but in the setting Tc is already paired with Terne, so I'm a bit out of ideas on this one.
>>1972943
>Gotta watch them quotation marks sis.
Sorry, they're small, all over the place, and depending on the keyboards I use, never on the same spot. I'll try to be more careful.
>>1972957
>I'll try to be more careful.
Is okay, they're very subtle so as evidenced even I missed one.
Hmm this might be out there, and may be influenced by my love of age gap, but is Zirconium with anyone? Maybe all the time TC spent around Bk led to her running into Zirconium and they kinda hit it offand Tc sweet talked Zr into giving her a chance.
>>1972970
>is Zirconium with anyone?
She isn't but I envisioned her as relatively aged, around Uranium's age, which would make the gap 22 years big.
Now ZrTc could happen later down the timeline, or Zr could be reworked to be younger.
>>1972993
Don't take the suggestion too seriously 5o the point of rework. It could be as much as Tc having a bit of a kink for cougars/milf.
>>1973145
It's not even rework actually, Zr is very vaguely defined and needs fleshing out.
>>1973331
Maybe the bit regarding her association with Radium and Tantalum seemed rather important. Enough to kind of lock in her age. I'm not entirely sure who else could fit, though I have half a mind to suggest Calcium if only because the idea of Calcium being a doctor of some sort won't leave my brain.
>>1973342
>Maybe the bit regarding her association with Radium and Tantalum seemed rather important. Enough to kind of lock in her age.
Nah, originally I planned for Ta to be Ra's only doctor, but Ta who've been too young, so I took Zr (who was originally just Ta's colleague), doubled her age, and put her as Ra's former doctor.
>>1973361
Ah well then I suppose if that's the case and no one else suggests someone for Tc, then I'd be fine with Zr getting reworked to be a possibility.I still say she and Carbon should have an association through some sort of "business" type thing. Not lovers but like might've seen each other at a function.
>>1973365
>I still say she and Carbon
C/Tc or C/Zr ?
>>1973368
C/Zr association as in, they only know each other from various events they might've attended or something. Nothing more since they're pretty different.
>>1973370
Do we even know what Carbon's business is ?
For Tc there's also the possibility of U's cousins Np or Pu.
>>1973372
>Carbon's business
Nope, nothing concrete, outside of her being nearly always busy and probably overworked. Pretty sure an idea was tossed around that she has a few mildly successful ventures or something as references to graphite and other things like that.
You're right about Np and Pu, forgot about them.
>>1973376
>Nope, nothing concrete, outside of her being nearly always busy and probably overworked.
Can we summon flonium for this one?
>>1973393
We could try but he's a very capricious write fag that's hard to pin down.
>>1973393
>Can we summon flonium for this one?
So the issue with what Carbon does is that, well, carbon does everything. Even setting aside the fact that carbon is essential for all known life, there's plastics, fuels, fabrics, machine components, nuclear reactor parts, inks, filtration systems, and carbide ceramics.
And again, that's before getting into more organic things, where it's basically inescapable.
>>1973815
More of a small, easily excited dog in a room full of bacon and houseguests.
>>1974007
What if Carbon was a business negotiator/solicitor or something. You know just maybe not travel orientated.
Is there anything regarding mythological metals?
>>1976167
Not really? A few have been discussed in passing but nothing concrete.
>>1976169
There couldn't be that many to begin with right? What would they even do in the setting.
>>1976188
They could be part of in-setting myths, but that means someone would have to write them.
>>1976235
The only one that sounds like it'd be an actual in-setting myth could be Primae materia as a possible god figure or progenitor for the setting's humans.
I had the thought that the more 'common' myth metals could just be leaders or something that are very high in the echelons of society and aren't really referred to by name but the evidence of their existence can be found if one goes digging. Like how Iron is currently in year zero strikes me as potential a lead up to what they could be.
Though they could be dead at year zero, I just feel that them being alive at some point is more interesting than just treating them as myth.
So while we're waiting for flonium and metalsappho to do a new thing, let's talk about Boron. What do we know about her so far?
>>1977943
That she's probably a dusky beauty to reference how she was introduced to the western world via the silk road. There was some idea tossed around that she helps Uranium in some capacity because it's used in nuclear plants.
Maybe an exchange student that was in Carbon's class year, left, and then moved back to where ever the metals live currently for some reasons.
>>1977949
Also, she doesn't like to be alone, and always tries to make connections with people.
>>1977975
Hmm so she's clingy and maybe arabian more than just being a nondescript delicious brown girl. Who would she cling to the most?Sodium?
>>1977984
Sodium's 15 though.
>>1977994
Yeah I suppose Boron going to jail would be a bit much but maybe she's a patient predator. She's got, at most, 3 years. The hardest bit would be explaining how she could've met Sodium and maybe befriended her before she's 18. When Boron can begin her advances in earnest.
>>1978000
B could be K's friend and fell for little Na but held back.
>>1978149
I'm indifferent about immoral age gap as long as it stays consensual.
Why is Sodium's hair black? Just out of curiosity.
>>1978224
Cs' colour is slightly gold, so an anon wanted her to be eastern asian, and since the Alkalis were set to be of the same family, it extended to all of them.
>>1978252
Hm, I mean, it makes sense, but isn't it pretty counter-intuitive considering the color of sodium?
>>1978262
Yes, but the problem is that most metals are silvery white or grey, so given the chance, we try to include some variety in their looks.
>>1978290
>>1978301
Well that's the sodium I used as reference.
>>1978318
I think yours is probably more accurate. The pink might be from impurities or lighting or something. But giving an entire family of metals black hair would sort of defeat the purpose of ignoring metal color for the sake of variety.
>>1978361
>But giving an entire family of metals black hair would sort of defeat the purpose of ignoring metal color for the sake of variety.
Alkali metals are notorious for having similar proprieties, that's where the idea of the Alkali family came from.
>>1978149
While delicious immoral age gap is all well and good, you gotta remember that Sodium is a business heir. The consequences would probably be enacted to the fullest because of her importance, which is kind of sad to think about.
On a lighter note, Boron could probably be paired with Plutonium. Not sure if there's a science basis for it but it would give her a tangential connection to Uranium.
>>1977984
>Who would she cling to the most? Sodium?
Sodium's probably the biggest, since sodium's in a lot of borate minerals.
Could do Silicon, since borosilicates are important for some glasses.
>>1978725
That would be interesting, though Silicon would have to be expanded upon some more. Like when she stepped back into Carbon's life, what had she done, and how would Silicon run into Boron.
>>1978592
I'm actually quite in favour of pairing NaB, independently of the "delicious immoral age gap" stuff, mainly because of all the IRL combinations. Adding to that, the role of K in B's production could mean B and K are friends and that's how B came to know Na. B could also play a role in reconciling K with her family.
>>1978864
>play a role in reconciling K with her family.
That'd be interesting, how would B have befriended K since they're about 14 years apart if it's going off B being close to C's age.
>>1978921
Given that Boron is used in fertilizers, maybe she knows P.
A more radical solution would be to change her relation to C, making her younger.
>>1978933
Hey whatever works. I feel her being an exotic/foreign girl should be more important than age.
>>1978973
Nothing stops her from being foreign, she just doesn't need to be specifically C's age.
>>1978431
There you go: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5762629/chapters/13497304
>>1979258
I'll try and edit it tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
>>1977984
>maybe arabian more than just being a nondescript delicious brown girl
>>1979306
That's just sad.
>>1979306
Ha, though if you're gonna be specific the largest deposit is in Turkey and they probably have more Grecian in them than Arabian so nondescript Mediterranean would probably work better.
>>1979312
You'd be surprised how few useful reference pictures you get when searching Arab/Saudi woman/female/girl/etc
>>1979314
Googling Mediterranean people was even less helpful.
>>1979316
Well you did a splendid job either way. I love her already. Nice blend of races found on the silk road.
>>1979316
Now that's very good
Google Azeri girls
>>1979316
Ooh, nice.
>>1979316
I love her.
>>1979316
I think I have a new favourite metal design.now to get off my ass and write something with her. or anyone.
>>1979375
Very cute.
>>1979375
Well now I'm definitely in favor of NaB
>>1979375
You're genuinely awesome.
>>1979375
I took the liberty to update Na's profile with your illustration.
>>1979517
I also changed the profiles a bit; added Fr's illustration, changed U's profile to reflect the fic and put the gynoid's profile in a separate work.
That, and Mo's profile: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5558582/chapters/13398799
>>1979731
Heads up, you say Copper is silver's eldest sister at the bottom.
>>1979734
Thanks, I'm getting confused with all these people.
writing an NaB thing
expect it maybe this weekend
>>1980196
Thanks.
I'll write some gynoid profiles for now, before heading for an other fic.
>>1980433
I wanna know more about Technetium. What she thinks, what she feels. I wanna see more narrative from her perspective.
>>1980494
Okay, a bit later, but okay.
Here's the new Am profile (same as the one, but now with notes): http://archiveofourown.org/works/5814658/chapters/13399342
And Cm's profile: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5814658/chapters/13399387
These profiles are quicker to write, and they will allow me to organize my various ideas for the different gynoids.
>>1980735
Some more gynoid profiles:
Bk: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5814658/chapters/13399396
Cf: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5814658/chapters/13399414
And that'll be it for a while.
Any ideas regarding Calcium?
>>1982201
She's definetely in orthopedics.
>>1982246
I second this. Calcium's in orthopedics and orthotics.
>>1979731
I finally did ithttp://pastebin.com/ivxgp5Zv
>>1982942
Thanks
>I think I get what you meant but 'extroverted people'
What I had in mind was "people outside of [Thorium's] circle" cause according to Thorium all this "making friends nonsense" doesn't make science progress...even if she quite like to have people close to her.
I've just realized that I wrote her as a quite big tsundere.
>Copper
I wrote it that way so it could be open to interpretations, I my mind, Copper simply doesn't "feel" Molybdenum, so to speak.
>>1983213
Ah alright that clears those things up then.
>>1980494
There you go:

Currently writing Boron's profile, got some good ideas and loads of relationship entries.
>>1985162
Nice, I wonder how she'll turn out since there wasn't much discussion related to her.
>>1985184
She was though as being needy, so I'll play on that.
Also, she'll totally be Na's wife, and they'll have a Borax child, but that would be in the future.
>>1985190
>Na's wife
>needy
That paints a pretty odd picture of Boron pleading to Sodium to drop what she's doing and rock her world.
>>1985201
Not exacly what I had in mind, but it works suite well actually, flonium should write this.
>>1985359
Is flonium even still around?
It's just been people posting as anon in this thread...
>>1986133
He's probably busy with the Symphogear thread or actual real life concerns but he doesn't readily post with a name anyway.
>>1986135
>or actual real life concerns
as a heads up
whenever I'm not visibly active for a while
it's 99% this
my life is basically the Jonathan Coulton song Code Monkey but instead of a cute receptionist I'm in love with the world food market a block from my bus
B's profile is now on proofreading (goddamn finally).
Meanwhile I've added a B entry in Na and K's profiles.

Poor Zirconium. She needs to find a good wife to spend all that cartel money on.
You also really gave me the image that Zirconium might try hide how lonely she feels.
>>1987023
>She needs to find a good wife to spend all that cartel money on.Niobium
>>1987126
So someone who may be a little younger than Boron and is more in love with her friend Tantalum than Zirconium herself?
Zirconium's has hard love life.
>>1987149
Nb is Ta's sister, and she grow up from her siscon crush to love Zr.
And Nb is 'only' 13 years younger and Zr, B is 21 years younger.
>>1987157
I thought Nb was younger than that, though that was largely me guessing since there's nothing real concrete regarding Ta and Nb's ages outside of a general age.
Nice to know she grows out of that siscon phase even if Zr is pretty similar to Ta in a few areas.
>>1987175
At year 0 I've put Ta at 34, Nb at 29, Zr at 42 and B at 21.
>>1987196
Well that sheds some light on things.
Also this bothered while I was trying to edit Boron's profile.I feel like 'fusional' doesn't carry over that well into english, and I'm trying to work out what you used it for under Re's section. Did you mean to compare their relationship to say a union between spouses because at first it doesn't strike me as a sisterly one which fit it's previous use under Mo's profile.
>>1987222
In B and Re's case, I meant that their relationship got so close they were basically only functional when they were together. When they were apart, they were gloomy and apathetic, so in the end the relationship becomes consuming for their personality. Fortunately for B and Re, it was forced to end after a year, I'd say that it would've made actual damage if it had go on for longer.
That's a behaviour that I've once observed in a young lesbian couple; they was no limit in their closeness and they were ALWAYS stuck together, and only wanted to be together, I believe there was also a couple like that in the High school girls manga.
I Mo and Tc's case, they were very close because they were family, so sisterly fitted.
>>1987340
Goddamn that actually pretty disconcerting to see in children. However hearing that explanation, fusional does work best so I'll just remove that bit
Oh soul mates! That way you described it or rather how the relationship could also be described as such though soul mates has more of a definitive tone and yeah.http://pastebin.com/pJ8D9FWe
>>1987347
Thanks
I'm taking requests for the next thing, profile of fic.Don't say Mo, U or Tc
>>1987376
I'd be interested in Zr actually but that's more from wanting to see if the cartel joke will actually stick. I'm not too sure about any other anons.
>>1987384
I'm not comfortable to write about cartels, I'm afraid.
>>1987387
Fair enough, then Silicon would be my next pick though I'm curious about what some other people might suggest.
>>1987402
Silicon's profile, then.
If other anons have suggestions, I can still take them for later.
>>1987407
Zr!
>>1987689
Profile too ?
>>1987902
That would be amazing. I want Zr's life to contain something more than tears.
>>1987384
I think we can drop the cartel thing for now.
>>1988759
Don't worry anon, I am. After all, I was the only one pushing for it.
>>1987402
There you go

Who is Tc gunning for, again? Was it Steel?
So I bothered flonium ontumblrand apparently there's some new stuff coming: https://flonium.tumblr.com/post/139666079911/so-assuming-youre-the-same-one-as-the-u
NaB, TiV, Stellite + her caretakers, and FeC are apparently being worked on.
>>1989065
Np
Steel is Terne's prey.
>>1988920http://pastebin.com/Q0Wzbreg
Man this profile made me realize that the thread has almost all the industrial leaders drawn.
All that's missing is Silicon and Aluminium.
Uranium's debatable though I don't really consider her to be an industry leader.
I kind of feel like Carbon should be the cool black haired Onee-san type character because all the first year hydrogen are always attracted to her. But I'm late to that party so ok.
>>1989265
We haven't really been doing diatoms, because they're thirsty sluts who sleep with EVERYONE. (Except the noble gases, who are prudes.)
>>1989265
She is kind of a cool dark haired beauty, though she's more of an okaa-san or auntie than onee-san.
>>1989383
Also involving non-metals gets trickier.
>>1989178
Thanks
>All that's missing is Silicon and Aluminium.
And Lithium
Uranium is an engineer, and she got all the major metall/u/gy corporations involved in her project.
>>1989449
Right I forgot Lithium, I feel silly.
True about Uranium, but she is a leader. Just a leader in the science community, not so much industry.
>>1989451
Yup
There are some business owners but not really industry leaders, the Lanthanides are still mostly unknown but I don't think they have some hidden industry magnate.
Sulfur may or may not be one as well.
>>1989467
Maybe she's like Phosphorous and is some sort of farm baron. Well maybe not so much a Baron since that has a more specific connotation but the point could be the same.
>>1989468
I was thinking more in the lines of Sulfur running a business in the biology field.
And she and Phosphorus maintain a mid-distance relationship.
>>1989474
Reasonable enough, it'd be nice to see another scientist that doesn't deal with machinery or the ilk.
Also the relationship would be rather interesting to see.
>>1958056
the funny thing is this is basically just seikon no quaser without the het.

How this man manages to keep track of all this stuff is beyond me; I can barely concentrate on one thing at the time.
>>1989682
Really ? Never saw/read SnQ.
And a billboard is not a street sign, holy fucking shit captcha.

SnQ's protagonists and antagonists are all experimental element wielders. they do lewd things to women in order to gain back their mana bar.

Alright Zr's done, the table's definitely getting filled out at this rate.
>>1989693
>How this man manages to keep track of all this stuff is beyond me; I can barely concentrate on one thing at the time.
You'll also note you're putting things out much more regularly than I am.
When you've got all sorts of ideas sitting around and just working on one or another as the mood hits, it takes a lot longer to finish one.
>>1989693
It's really nothing at all alike, beyond that both involve elements. Not sure why imouto thinks they're similar.
>>1989983
Thanks
Well, as usual, I'll be taking requests.
And while I'm at it, have the updated table.
>>1990118
I'd like to see some more AuAg fluff, if you're still open to requests.
>>1990800
I'm always open to requests, although Au and Ag are flonium chars, so I'm not sure how to handle them.
>>1990802
Something tells me Flonium might be more laidback than that though I can understand the hesitance.
That aside, would you be open to the idea of ThU when they're seniors or something from their young adult years, before Am. If that's too similar to the last stuff, maybe something involving Terne, and Steel. Perhaps having a group project with Electrum and Iridos.
>>1990884
Flonium is already writing Terne and Steel, but I like the idea of Electrum and Iridosmine.
Also I'll keep the AuAg and ThU suggestions.
Whose characters are Pt and Cu? Those two make me huggle myself.
>>1991042
Pt - Platinum
Cu - Copper
>>1991053
No, I mean who wrote them first?
>>1991125
Flonium
>>1990118
Would you be up to try a meet cute between Copper and Zinc?
