Gemma (pronounced "JEM-ah") is a 14-15 year old ½ Tarsier-½ Cat hybrid and an aspiring adventurer born with geokinesis, a kind of power the lets the user control and manipulate earth at their own will.

She was living a rather mundane life... until she witnessed Dr. Eggman's vandalization of Greenflower mountain next to her and Mom's house, and heard news about his plans of conquest of the mysterious Black Rock, which recently returned to the planet's orbit. Noticing the famous Sonic the Hedgehog and his gang hopping into action, She eventually follows them to see for herself what is going on.

Tera-riser:
Double jump to drop downwards with enough force to break the floor beneath your feet and ride it upwards. You can jump or spindash off this newly created platform at anytime.

Tip: Hitting an enemy or hazard with the rock platform will allow you to perform the move again. Chain multiple together to gain maximum height!

Gemma is also Co-op friendly. You can use this ability to take your friends to a lift.

Otherwise, she pretty much plays like your traditional Sonic character. She can perform the classic Spin Jump & as mentioned before, the Spin Dash. Y'know, the usual stuff.

You can configure how Gemma's ability controls using the "gemmastyle" command. I/O support is included.

Hold (gemmastyle 1): Let go of jump while riding the platform to hop off of it.

Triple Jump (gemmastyle 2): Press jump while riding the platform to hop off it.

BattleMod (Separate Patch)

In order to play as Gemma in BattleMod, you must load the new "L_GemmaBattle" file after loading Gemma herself.

In BattleMod, her Tera-riser ability has an exhaust meter, which drains if used excessively. Her ground pound debris and Rock Platform also tumbles players unless they have no defense. Additionally, spin dashing while on the rock platform increases your gravity, making you fall faster.

Rock Wave:
Jump and hold Fire to charge a powerful cone-shaped wave of rock pillars that either tumbles or instantly damages players depending on how long you charge the ability before releasing the Fire button. Pressing FireNormal while charging simply cancels the ability, while Pressing Spin while charging lets you perform a quick short dash.

Earth Wall:
Hold Fire while grounded to determine the spot you want to create a wall made of rocks, then release the button to create it. It has 6 health points before it gets destroyed. You can also destroy the wall yourself by pressing Fire while grounded again.

a character that can earthbend?, for me that's enough to consider this the best mod, and also, the plataform working in coop will be cool since i'm trying to invite some friends that have never played a sonic game before to play together, this can help them thanks :)

The character is great, her ability is pretty unique, but that doesn't stop you from playing as her. Gemma has cool sprites and is a pleasure to play as.

I like this mod cuz of the accuracy. It's cool how she pushes walls like in Sonic 1-3. The movesets may be basic but it's still a good mod.

This is, hands down, the highest-effort and most polished character mod I've ever played.

While most characters released for SRB2 typically deviate from established gameplay standards to pursue unique mechanics and ideas, Gemma meets and sometimes even exceeds vanilla standards. This makes her feel right at home with the main cast, while not being too simple nor too flashy.

The fact that you went out of your way to animate every single possible frame that a character would ever need is, quite frankly, incredible. I really want to hammer in my absolute satisfaction with how the character is executed, with the sprites being on-point and the ability being easy to pick up while being advanced enough to do cool movement tech with.

Great job!
