Auction Screen with Heads



Just about a finished mock up... I know you can't see it but she has pubes. Docclox and Zero_Profile have been working hard on getting them up and running. Go Team! Also new buttons to match the decor. Got to admit I like the overall really adding to the auction feel rather then a static buy screen.

Zero_Profiles new bodies are up on his thread on the board.
Go check them out.

Spoilers - More Spherian Background

People of Note:

Ambassador Mir of Clan Seed ~ The youngest member of the embassy she was more or less forced to take the role of Ambassador because no one else would. Raised on a spherian world this is her first time ever visiting a barbarian world, it is also the first time she has ever seen a man. She would prefer not to deal with the local barbarians and usually puts on a cool appearance of indifference to anything. Inside she is almost in a state of panic and is completely unsure in all of her actions.

Dr. Unamed of Clan Seed ~ There is a doctor of science, who is both in charge of monitoring the Rift, but is also in charge of the medical details.

Security Officer Unnamed of Clan Seed ~ In charge of the embassy security, also the spy master.

Clan Seed:

A minor clan of less then 20 sister wives. The majority of them are now part of the Spherian Embassy to Otherworld. They wish to rank up the clans status quickly, through any means possible. They own a garden planet and the embassy staff normally commute back to the planet each night through a DOOR. They are a young clan the oldest member only a 5th generation member of the empire.

Shops and Spherians



Yes, that is Index in Disgaia 4. Did I mention that summer can't come fast enough...

The SVN is updated... and I broke the current copy... sorry all.

Added task bar to the shops. Instanced the shops still a few things I want to do to them.

--------------------

More background on the Spherians... Spoilers.

The Embassy presented it self to the king in (year). Making them the first beings to enter Magmell willingly, flying in a small craft. (The main ship left at the south polar dock.) Initial jubilation of a possible way for the residents to be sent home was quickly squashed, when Ambassador Mir explained so eloquently she was just there to observe that no barbarians were "violating the spherian right to dimensional travel." For a few moments it appeared that combat was inevitable, but losing the only possible life line to leaving Magmell was too important to lose. The Spherians were granted an embassy. At which point besides formal occasions requiring their presence the Spherian's have not left it.

The Spherians are currently engaged in a number of tasks. Their official goal is the observation of the P-Door and forcing it to collapse. Dimensional travel by unauthorized beings almost always considered an attack on spherian sovereignty. Though careful study of the P-Door is required as it is a self sustaining tear with out a continuous energy source. Which means that the Embassy is in no hurry to close it and would much rather study it. Any research on replicating it stability would bring much honor to the clan.

The other thing the embassy is doing is purely underhanded and is another reason they are delaying closing the rift. All slaves are owned by the Empire. The embassy though is allowed to hire or purchase slaves to supplement their ranks. They are then the property of the empire and officially part of the Spherian staff. Of course if those slaves which are part of the embassy are then loaned for an extended time to another party, they would still appear on the rolls as staff of the embassy. Creating a gray/black market. It would be unlikely in the event of the embassy actually closing in Magmell that they would leave any property belonging to the empire behind.

Stuff



Yes that is Horo in Disgaia 4. I FREAKEN CAN'T WAIT!!!

On and another positive note, the blu-ray of Queen's Blade, finally arrived after only being 3 months late on a pre-order. Well worth it of course.

Spherians unlike the other 2 that were founded in the last decade or so has a much larger history so this might take a few days.

Spherian Embassy

External Appearance:
A large wall surrounds the embassy. It is actually a new addition to stop people from colliding with the sphere force field that surrounds the entire complex.

Internal Appearance:
A well trimmed garden with fountains and a few low buildings. (Most of the actually building are underground. A common design for Spherian architecture.)

History:
The Spherian history is rather long... but for now lets go with how it relates to the Magmell Embassy.

First off the Spherian Classes -

Religious leaders - none would ever come to Magmell
God Slayers - Given power by the religious leaders to defend Spherian Dimensions against Higher Dimensional Beings - None would ever come to Magmell unless the embassy was wiped out by a god
Spherian Council - Think a true communist leadership. Those on the council are the elite of the elite. - None would ever come to Magmell though they are in charge of the embassy, the council itself doesn't even know it exists. But the bureaucracy of the council does monitor it.
Citizen Slave - The average member of Spherian society. Heavily Genetically modded.
1st Gen Citizen Slave - Daughters of Slaves they are usually not modded.
Slaves - Property of the empire.

The main thing to note is that all citizens of the empire are slaves of the empire. Gaining rank for citizen slaves is based on hard work and expertise. Which brings us to the next major thing...

The spherians don't have a real economy. Since they can replicate anything with enough matter and energy. Instead they value skills and expertise. Especially expertise. Spherians can live for thousands of years so general knowledge in just about anything is to be expected. But expertise in a specific subject is highly valued and brings respect to them and there clan. Its also the only way to be promoted in the Spherian council bureaucracy.

The one thing they do want are slaves, a well treated slave's daughter will almost always join the clan of the clan that owned her mother. Not that a clan owns a slave they are rented by the government to help perform tasks.

And i'm bored.
