Gemma the Tarsier-Cat [v1.2.2a]

A New Face has joined the Adventure...



Gemma is a young tarsier-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.

Ability


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, Spin Jump and Spin Dash and all.

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.

Spoiler:

Fun Fact: Style 2 (Triple Jump) was the initial intent of how it was supposed to work.

Other Features

A partially-sprited Super form. Go get those Chaos Emeralds first, though.
Full Dirk compatibility (Both Frozen and Surf).
"Trick fail" sprites for Frostiikin's CrossMomentum mod.
Hug. (Custom 2)

Future Plans

Spoiler:

Support for CobaltBW's Battle Mod

As my first vanilla SRB2 character mod, it was certainly a far cry from making a HUD mod and a Kart character mod. But of course, i couldn't have done this on my own.

If not for these awesome (and funni) people in the SRB2 Community, this would've not been possible.

[ClassicNC]

Oh hey I saw this character on Twitter. Nice job.

[TheKillerEmerald]

Nice job! Also new ways to skip parts of levels XD

[Zippy_Zolton]

A cute character with a simple yet effective ability. The sprites are a bit rough, but the design is great and I love the attention to detail with all 8 angles being different.

[Slade Kuroha]

This characters gives me strong Lara Croft - Terra (Teen Titans) vibes

Gemma currently doesn't support Battle mod yet.

[TeriosSonic]

Pretty cool character! I liked the Tera-Rise ability, it's quite useful. It'd also be cool if she threw rocks in Battle or something.

[RalphJeremy65]

v1.1
- Most Sprites had been touched up.

[Sonamous 47]

This is a very unique mod. Pretty Soon I will make mod about myself ( not like the mod is the creator's oc)

[RalphJeremy65]

v1.1.1 changelog
- added "Trick fail" sprites for Frostiikin's CrossMomentum mod.

[RalphJeremy65]

v1.1.2 changelog
- Fixed lua conflicts with characters like Skip and Yoshi losing stomp damage.

[Revenge_of_Shadow]

Awww. Adorable. I am already crushed. And it works pretty good too.

[Daviroll_Limit]

I've tried Gemma online several times, and I have to say it's fun to use.
now, speaking of the basic focus: Tera-riser
I have to say, the mechanics of creating platforms to create speed reminds me a lot of the Fancy Pants series (because of "the more you fall, the more speed you will have").
outside of that, very entertaining and useful character to use with friends

[Green The Hedgedog]

Coming soon 1.2 uptade

[Cman!]

Speedrunners be like.

Time to ride!
