MESSAGE:
Hey Jail, it's Nitro. The three of us figured we ought to send you something for the holidays, what with how much we've worked with you. Chris wanted to just send you something based of some show he's been watching with angels and underwear and I don't even know, and TNT wanted to stick you with one of our dress uniforms (she thinks if we get a bunch of Teksqp wearing it, it'll help us disassociate the family from the "bunch of lunatics" image it's gotten, but you and I both know that's not going away fast), so I took the liberty of designing something that might be more your speed. Merry Christmas!

This GMO gives Jailbird an outfit designed with comfort in mind, as opposed to the undoubtedly stuffy jumpsuit, while allowing her to retain her image and attitude, unlike the formal warden's uniform shown off at Gala's disaster of a party. The top consists of a plain white former t-shirt, turned into a tank-top with the application of tearing, removing the sleeves and removing the bottom inches, exposing her navel.

The pants come in the form of a pair of black denim shorts, an inch or so shy of Daisy Duke territory, with a chain clipped to a pair of belt-loops on the side. Her shoes would take the shape of a pair of military-style black combat boots, white socks just barely noticable over the tops of the boots.

Her hands would be wrapped in athletic tape, save the fingers and thumb, and decorating her wrists would be an asymmetrical collection of bracelets, from plain to studded leather, costume pearls, and thin gold chains. Her neck would be decorated with two or three similar gold chains of varying thickness, though none would be overly thick or long, reaching just past the collarbone at least to the middle of her chest at most.

To top the whole thing off, a tattoo of Jailbird's name would run at a slight angle to the left of her navel in a stylized font, as well as one of her Navi emblem on her left forearm, superimposed on some tribal markings running the perimiter of her arm to create an armband.


Great idea! Let's get her out of that stuffy prison suit. I'm sure she never takes it off, right?

GMO: Karate.GMO
Now Holly can wear her very own karate gi! A thick, almost canvas-like training uniform that has straps and a belt, all adjustable to ensure minimal chafing and plenty of room where ever it's wearer may need it. The uniform is a traditional white, with a black belt (because of the notice that these GMOs can't be edited or changed, best to just make it a black belt). On the back of the uniform is a large design meant to look like Holly's family branch symbol. On the front, by the collar, is a much smaller version of the same symbol. Embroidered on the belt in gold thread are Electopian kanji that reads Kobayashi-do Karate.

I like it! I'm just going to embarrass myself if I try to do karate though. Maybe I should get some martial arts lessons to go along with it?

Message:

Dear Holly,

We've never met, or spoken, and you don't know me, but, for as long as I've known about the work that you do, it's always inspired me. Wherever I see reports of activities or events you've been a part of, it gives me hope. I know that the work you do is very hard, and so often thankless; so thank you. I admire your dedication, and ever since I learned about you, and the work you do, I've hoped to find a way to say so... this seemed like a good chance.

My own operator doesn't leave me any time to make friends, normally, and he'd probably be mad if he knew I was using his email like this, too, but even if I never get a chance to see you in person, here's something I can do that I hope you'll like.

This outfit is one I've tried to design in a way that captures some of the symbolism of the goals you fight for, while still retaining as much of your own personal image as possible. I don't know if I succeeded, but with any luck it'll make you smile, even if only for a moment.

It's a design based on the traditional mythos of moss-maidens; they're wood spirits with a strong traditional tie to Yule festivities, the festive season in general, and in particular to the myth of the wild hunt. You see, even though they were potent creatures in their own right, they were mostly peaceful and good-natured, but all the same, were often treated as the quarry in the ritual or the Wild Hunt... the odds on such occasions were heavily, and unjustly, stacked against them, and only the rare ones of exceptional determination would manage to elude the hunters to be triumphant.

It was my wish for this design to be one representing hope for success, against insurmountable odds... wrapped up in something that is still completely festive, when viewed in the right way.

If I don't stop soon, Rogan will catch me using his email, and then I'll be in trouble. We've never met, but, I hope you have a very merry Christmas, for all the merry Christmases you've helped give to so many others.

GMO: OldStories.GMO

Description
Description: This outfit was designed specifically for Holly, and harkens back to an older, often forgotten past of the Christmas celebrations and origins. Much of Holly's normal Christmas clothes are nowhere to be seen in this outfit, however her modesty is well accounted for by various other means. In place of the normal green cap, her hair is left free, though now small holly leaves are visible, spaced through the soft brown. The sprig of holly normally in place on the band at her neck remains unaffected, and the emblem on her chest is still clearly visible as well, but below this, rather than her leathers, her bust is now well protected by what looks visually to be a natural growth of Christmas-green moss, forming something of a supporting top that descents to the base of her breast-bone, and also wraps around her back in a stylish pattern that leaves her shoulders bare. Despite appearances, to the wearer of this GMO, the mossy portion actually feels quite natural and comfortable.

Attempts made to remove it by anyone other than the wearer would, in theory, be met with the same resistance of well-established moss clinging to bark, however, should Holly herself attempt to shed the mossy sections independently of changing GMO, it would slip away and disappear with a smooth ease. Underneath the top, and indeed below it as well, across her midriff and the small of her back, until her waist, her skin takes on the appearance of smooth bark, unsurprisingly holly bark.

This same delicate bark patterning also replaces her gloves, starting at fingertips and tapering away back to her normal skin tone after reaching her elbows. For her hands, at least, there is no actual texture change, and her touch retains all the sensation and sensitivity it would otherwise have.

At her waist, rather than the traditional black and silver belt, her skirt appears to begin in a more organic fashion; though it still behaves with the movement and behaviour of her normal skirt, it has the appearance of overlaid holly leaves instead, facing downward so that the ends of the skirt are evenly pointed, while a ring of red berries marks where the band out to begin at her waist.

Surprisingly, perhaps, her boots retain a more or less in-organic appearance, solid and sensible, though they bear small sprigs of holly on the outer side of each cuff at the top.

With this GMO, her buster appearance changes as well; the candy-cane flurry of doom replaced by a distinctly less comedic burst of wood fletchets, or a sweeping branch to replace the candy bludgeon.


That's a very thoughtful gift! I hope that I can live up to your praise and continue to do right b by everyone. It's a long way off, but I think that one day the Mafia will be transformed into an organization that works with everyone's best interests in mind.

SUBJECT: Patching Things Up

Holiday's Greetings to Holly, Bayonet, and Vee. My name is Destin Obscura and my navi DragonierMan is a member of the Neo-Shoguns. Over the time that DragonierMan has existed in the NS he has fallen into disfavor with the senior general Yasu. Needless to say, this is a problem. As such he wishes to patch things up with a gift.

P.S. To Vee: Out of all the NS generals you are the one that we have seen the least. I assume that is because you are a ninja and if so you have shown quite a lot of skill in avoiding attention. Hopefully at some point we will be able to meet you out in the NET.

A light green kimono and hakama. The kimono has dozens of small, stylized dark green leaves cascading across the silky fabric as if blown by a strong breeze. Under the kimono is worn a light-brown bodysuit. The chest is protected by a brown breastplate, which consists of a few leather strips across the chest attached to a green frame. The hair is tied into a ponytail with a green ribbon that flows down elegantly to mid back. The hakama is tied at the waist with a small bow knot at the front, and the feet are clad with traditional wooden sandals and brown socks. The hands are covered with toughened brown gloves with green trim. The set also includes a green umbrella with darker green edges. The umbrella is topped with a dark green spear tip and the haft of the umbrella is reinforced for use as a spear. If unfurled, a stylized Shogun symbol is quite visible over most of the surface area. Emblazoned in gold.

Waterboy.GMO

Due to Rhea's attempts at making Eternalis resemble her own agegroup, the result was of an overly cutified Eternalis in the form of a little human-like boy. Sporting a similar height as Rhea at 4' 11", the boy, equipped in the same armor as his original outlook, has the original gelatine format replaced by what seemed to be a blue bodysuit. For some reason, the bodysuit did not reach below his knees, giving the impression that it was more of a pair of armored shorts with a pair of sneakers to complete his outfit. Waterboy.GMO also sports Eternalis as a dashing little boy with blue hair and azure eyes, with his head submerged in a helmet with what seemed to be filled with liquid internally.



I will pass it along! I just hope that the boy is capable of breathing underwater... otherwise, this is a much darker gift than it first appears!

This GMO is largely inspired the the maid outfit Ship had Lyn wear earlier as a prank. Of course, because she had free license to edit it and wasn't simply selecting it from store stock, Ship put on all the bells and whistles.

The base dress is black, featuring puffed shoulders rimmed with white collars at the arm holes. The bust is accentuated by a frilled low collar line, showing off a bit of cleavage, and a tight fit. Three white buttons hold the blouse together. The hands also feature short, fitted white gloves.

A similarly frilly skirt is worn on the bottom, which naturally bells out a bit. It's short, about knee length. A small white apron with a subtle black embroidery of the Neo-Shogun logo Ship designed for her outfits, a black shogun helmet with cursive N.S. letters, is tied with a large bow in the back. Ship remembered her friend seemed more comfortable carrying her notebook, and thus the apron comes equipped with a front pocket for storing it. Less usefully, a feather duster is hung at the hip with a cord looped into the pocket of the skirt.

The legs are sheathed in tall white stockings, which seem to connect with garters to the lacy undergarment beneath the skirt... the shoes are shiny black high-heels, raising Escort to an even more ridiculous height.

A frilly white maid's headband rests atop her head. Her hairstyle is unchanged, but Ship went somewhat heavy with the makeup, equipping dark red lipstick and generous eye shadow. There are also small silver-and-pearl earrings.

The undergarments are lacy and white, tight-fitting all around. The center clasp for the bra is covered by a small black bow, as are the side clasps for the bottom. They aren't skimpy, but they aren't conservative, either.

Come to think of it... it does somehow seem different from the one she designed for Lyn.


It's a little hard to believe that she wanted to wear something like this... but I'll take your word for it and pass it along.

Hello all,

My good friend, Djinni, is a good navi who helped me out with a dire situation recently. She's helping me with another right now and I want her to understand that we Counterinfectualists view her as part of our family. Thank you for all of your help, Djinni, and I hope that you will wear this new uniform proudly! Let me know if it needs adjustments...

-Exorcist.EXE

Hey! This is Burt. Listen, I read Exorcist's message. It's super cute, right, Na'im? She always is! Anyway, I looked at the GMO she'd written up and I didn't really think it fit Djinni's image right. Your navi needs something creative and sexy! So I thought about it a bit and I was like: "Djinni is big, healthy, and decidedly brown! She's not unlike a sacred oak, you know?" So I thought it would be good to wrap her with some talismans, just like they do oak trees! And let's be honest, talismans make everything look cool, right? Here you go!

Burt J. Blanchard

Quote ()

SacredOak.GMO

In his usual styling, Burt had created a GMO that fits almost no situation except for pleasing others with eye-candy. The outfit consists of a number of very thick ropes, which circle the body almost like bondage, but without restricting movement. The body of the outfit consists of three especially thick lengths, tying the body across the chest and with two between the legs. The material is thankfully well spun and smooth, but the circumference of the rope is thick enough to create an uncomfortable rubbing between the legs. A fair bit of the inner contour of her buttocks is left immodestly exposed, as well as the underside of her breasts. Thinner accessory ropes circle the ankles, wrists, and neck.

White, unmarked paper streamers in diagonally folded patterns hang from each of the accessory ropes, tied on with loops, four to a strand. On the main ropes, talismans with charms marked for protection hang; the writing is composed neatly in caligraphy with black ink. Five charms hang from each, designed to strategically cover her groin and the points of her breasts, although the ropes are really doing the work covering.

The upper body portion is knotted at the back while the lower body is not knotted at all, consisting of two tight loops, held in place largely by clinging to the slender curve of Djinni's waist, clinging to the tapering point of her hips. The accessory ropes are all single loops as well. Wearing it for too long could create rope marks...


Decorating trees is the spirit of the season! As for decorating your friends... well, let's hope that like a good Christmas tree, this outfit is proudly displayed! In the privacy of one's own home.

SUBJECT: A GMO For My Friend

Greetings,

I've prepared a gift for a friend of mine, Miss Dare.EXE. The "miss" is a formality I extend, you understand, not part of her actual program designation, so please don't be confused.

Miss Dare, you have been a good friend to me and I would hate for our relationship to sour, not that I have any expectation it will do so. But it is right and proper for ladies to occassionally share a gift now and again. I thought about your attire and my own areas of finesse and decided that, while you already have a fine dress of your own, there are tiers of upper society amongst whom we may both eventually rub elbows. It would be a good idea to get used to wearing ballroom regalia, including jewelry and, dare I say it, some pointed-toed shoes. I have something of an estimate regarding your measurements, but feel free to have it adjusted if they are off.

Of course, I know that red is your color. It suits you and I'm fond of it as well. That said, I think we might do well to explore other colors too. Let us use this as an opportunity for discovery! Ah, but I've allowed myself to get carried away. I feel almost selfish in this design process, but my, what fun! We should certainly put together emsembles like this together some time. That would make for quite the entertaining diversion.

Well, I've rambled on long enough. You may find the graphic override module and its details printed below.

Sincerely,
Your humble friend,
Ante.EXE

BallGown.GMO

When a fancy dress isn't fancy enough, there's this GMO. Designed to skyrocket its wearer ti the peak of pinache, the gold-colored dress looks like something out of a fairy tale: a tremendous bell skirt, a bustier dress too worn with the shoulders down, but still tastefully covering the bosom so as to allow very little cleavage to be exposed, long, silk gloves reaching to the elbows, and high heeled gold slippers complete the elegant ensemble. Dare's hair is made into as pretty of a bun as Ante could compose, held behind the head with a gold ribbon. Upon the chest, a yellow, five-petalled flower with black creeping from its center is pinned; it is likely not a real flower, as Ante's expertise does not lie in botony. A light, pale yellow belt sash circles the waist, although its not necessary to hold anything together.

Beneath the dress, the undergarments consist of a perhaps overly conservative thin, strapless tube top and bloomers, both in a less flattering pale yellow. Ante is the type to believe that one's undergarments shouldn't be made alluring, since they should rarely be seen regardless. The shoes were not made to account for Dare's exhaust pipes, which Ante assumed were cosmetic... A bit of the ankle sticks past the shoe regardless, so it might be alright...?

This is MeleeMan. Remember how I said I was only listening to your orders and whatever once you wore a skirt so you'd look like an office babe? Well, I wasn't kidding, so I stole this off some website for you. Wear it and MAYBE I'll listen. Probably not. But it can't hurt.

And in case I forgot to mention, this is for Anyis.

-MeleeMan

Quote ()

OfficeBabe.GMO

Having researched vague costumes based on fetishizations of what working women wear in the office, MeleeMan designed a relatively non-functional ensemble for Anyis to use to command his "respect." The key pieces of the outfit are its navy blue blazer and mini-skirt, mini to the point where you wouldn't want to sit down without crossing your legs. The blazer is also designed with a large, V curved opening down to its top button, such that it really only fastens with two buttons below the breasts, like an impractical sports jacket.

Beneath it, a pale, blue shirt is included. It's got long sleeves but actually ties up above the belly, although that's not visible with the coat buttoned. As if that weren't enough, only the very center two buttons are typically button, meaning a lot of cleavage is normally exposed. A yellow tie hangs around the neck, loosely tied.

Beneath that, the lingerie consists of robin's egg blue panties with black lace surrounding them. They're not that tight but are fairly conservative,with a low-cut bottom and strapless top. They also are designed to be pretty easy to take off...

Interestingly, he has foregone other stereotypes of office girls: no tied hair, no glasses. He did include navy blue high-heels (practical!) with no stockings whatsoever. When did MeleeMan find the time to put this together during the mission, anyway? It's almost like he already had the details on hand.


This makes me rethink our faction's policy... maybe our uniforms are not as bad as I thought.

MESSAGE:
Yo, Ante! I saw this holiday event and thought "What a perfect opportunity for me to get my pal in some new duds." Let's face it: I'm sure you like being modest and fancy and decked out in all your regalia, but eventually you're going to be in Netfrica Net, or Hades Net, or maybe even just spending too much time next to me! That means you are going to be sweating your butt off in all of that stuff. I feel like if I had to wear as much stuff as you, I might just start spontaneously taking it off, you know?

Anyways, I somehow figured I'd never get you into a swimsuit, but I feel like you can at least do with a more summery version of your usual get-up. Tell me what you think of it later!

Quote ()


Summer.GMO
The concept of this outfit was to stay close to Ante's usual motif while taking away what Dare percieves as an inordinate amount of useless stuffiness. It begins by substituting Ante's usual heavy skinsuit with a thin, black bodysuit, which forgoes the hood and simply extends up to the neck. It also ends just before the feet or hands. There's a symbol of two hearts low on the right hip of the bodysuit, where Dare thought Ante wouldn't be able to see it.

Over this is a tight red layer, like a one-piece swimsuit, with a separately removable short red skirt attached low. Simple long red gloves and boots also overlay the black bodysuit.

There is no hat for this outfit. Rather, Dare gave Ante a new hairstyle, half swept over and kept in place by a heart-shaped hairpin.

Overall, Dare thinks it's a very young look! Can Ante pull it off?

For pants she gets a pair of black slim-fitting jeans and to finish her outfit she gets a pair of shiny black shoes. Adorning her face is a half-circled pair of glasses with a silver rim. Her hair has been styled in pigtails, but made messy on purpose. While her mastery over 'Jian Zhi' remains untouched, all her amulets and tags are replaced for cards that feature her Operator Burt in various exciting poses.

Quote (Shisho's new GMO)

Name: Soda.GMO
Description: Taking a very different path of outfit, Shisho's entire outfit gets removed to make place for a new one. To cover his upper body he gets a simple white shirt with many red and green lollipops pictured on it. A leather band falls over his front diagonally to keep the brown backpack on his back up. To keep the boyish charms up, he now wears a pair of blue shorts and white sneakers with red socks. To finish the outfit, he gets a green cap onto his head. On the front of the cap is his emblem. He wears his power generators plus wing-like extensions as in his original outfit, but the generators are red with the extensions being blue instead of light blue.
Hanging from his new backpack is a thick drinking straw, only slightly smaller than his own length, and is white with red diagonal stripes across its length. While in this GMO, he uses the straw for combat (for instance as a bazooka or sword) and to link with the ground. As a side effect, he can drink fluid panels with altered tastes. Lava becomes strawberry milk, mud becomes chocolate milk, sea becomes water, onsen becomes tea and poison becomes beer.

Quote (Anyis' new GMO)

Name: Mic.GMO
Description: To accomodate her personality, this GMO aspires to get the best out of Anyis. But because of this there is no room for Anyis' usual clothes so off they go. For her upper body she gets a light blue sleeveless jacket with a high pointed collar. This jacket is completely covered with a glittery substance and even manages to shine without light. For her lower body she has a a pair of 'bell-bottoms', pants that flare out at knee height, with the same light blue color and glitters. A pair of light blue, with glitters, fingerless gloves adorn her hands. These gloves reach up to halfway her arm. Along with this all she wears a large pair of sunglasses with a golden rim and purple glasses.
Hanging from around her neck are 3 golden chains, each with a different symbol hanging from it and each a different length. The longest has a small golden Magna hanging from it, the middle necklace has Anyis' emblem on a golden plate and the shortest has a golden heart with 'Grants' engraved on it. On her right hand she 3 golden rings and on her left hand 2 golden rings. A dark purple belt around her waist is adorned by a golden belt buckle with the image of a snowflake engraved in it.
Attached to the front of her new jacket, at the height of her belly button, is a golden speaker. Two more speakers are on both her knees and a speaker high on the back of her jacket for a total of four speakers. Together with these, she has a brand new golden microphone which in this GMO is her way of combat. With the microphone and speakers she can project her shouts and yells into physical forms like fists or bullets, but is also used to call forth Cryos. Cryos has his usual blue flames, but his armor has become completely gold.


Believe me, I know how important it is to have good projection when speaking to an audience! And a cute costume, too.

Sylk,
I still remember when we first met, where you were venturing out to the net for the first time. But in what seemed to be a blink of an eye, you've evolved from a bright eyed "spiderling" to an efficient, exacting, powerful Navi with a passion and spirit few can meet. Hopefully this gift is to your liking, I tried to make something light and fast, but sturdy enough to meet the rigors of combat. I would love to see it in action, so feel free to drop us a line!

Hey Sylk!
I wish I had something better to say, but it looks like Mach stole my thunder. I am so happy to be your friend, and I hope our friendship lasts forever; you're just too cute and so much fun! I thought I could add a little 'light' to the design, and a gratuitous helping of high voltage to boot.

Lady Sylk,
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, and to fight along side you. We insist to express our heartfelt thanks for your companionship and friendship, and hopefully this gift suits your tastes. My contribution lies primarily with the armor and pack, it should provide you the protection needed for combat, and the weapons to end your battles easily. We would be honored to meet you again, no matter the situation.

Gift
Name: Tech_Arachnid.GMO
Description: With this .GMO active, though her overall outline remains unchanged, she undergoes a wide variety of changes. Her thin, lithe body is wrapped in a flexible, form-fitting bodysuit which looks pitch black at a glance, but under the light one can see a tinge of deep crimson. The bodysuit itself appears to be made of a durable woven fabric, the slight gloss of the material makes her look lightly polished. The bodysuit stretches from the base of her jaw all the way down to her toes. The bodysuit also demonstrates one significant change: her form is entirely human, 2 legs, 2 arms, 10 fingers and toes.

The suit leaves her face exposed, contrasting her very lightly tanned skin with freckles dotting her cheeks. Her hair color is largely unchanged, as well as her sharp angled bangs. However, instead of a spiked bun, her hair runs down to just slightly above her shoulders, splaying outwards aggressively. Her hair does little to obscure her wildly green eyes, though she only has 2 in this form, their bright green hue gives her a piercing, seemingly dangerous gaze. While she no longer has the fangs to complement her hungry eyes, her incisors are still pronounced enough to give her the untamed look. Though hiding her features would almost be a shame, the .GMO includes a variable helmet. The helmet itself is held to her face with a pair of comfortable, matte gray ear covers from which the shining, smooth visor sprouts forth. The visor comes in several 'modes,' the first being a simple horizontal strip of material just over her eyes, the second encompassing her head all the way down to her nose, and the third covers her entire head. The visor is so darkly tinted and polished; it is very difficult to see her face underneath. With the full visor mode active, a set of glowing gold 'eyes' appear in the visor, imitating Sylk's own eyes as well as adding 4 smaller eyes to provide a familiar arachnid look.

Other areas of her body are protected as well. The largest piece of armor is fitted over Sylk's ample chest, it isn't overly thick and matches the contours of her body to keep a light, smooth profile. The armor material itself is a matte dark gray, but the subtle in the material make it look like it's constructed by tens of thousands of octagonal pieces. Fastened to the front of the armor are four conical-shaped 'sleeves,' their points facing towards the middle of her chest while their open ends are lined with glowing gold strips of light. Their function will be revealed later.

The armor stops slightly above her bellybutton, and does not resume till one reaches the tops of her thighs. The armor is of the same color and material of her chestpiece, and look impossibly attached to the outside of her thighs; there are no belts or straps over the insides of her thighs. The armor angles inward as it travels down her thighs, eventually wrapping around the top of her knees. The outer face of the thigh armor bears an angular stripe of golden light which stretches from the front of her thigh just above the knee and turns sharply horizontal at mid thigh before resuming a smooth curve back towards the top of the armor.

Her greaves are also armored, but thinly enough to make them appear very light weight. While the boot-like greaves have a pronounced heel, it is barely 2.5 inches tall, seemingly adopting function over fashion. The soles of the greaves are textured nicely, giving Sylk a good amount of traction and stability. The circular plates over her ankles glow warmly, with a few thin 'veins' of golden light tracing over the creases in the armor up to her thigh plates.

The last bits of her body to be armored are her hands and forearms, but they are easily the most complicated. While her vambraces seem fairly simple, they are capable of folding outwards to accommodate a wide variety of weapons, then collapsing down to a snug fit when not in use. Both of her hands are covered in a set of gloves constructed of several small plates of armor, woven and secured together by glowing gold 'wire' and circular lights. Each one of her knuckles are lit up, as well as her fingertips. They seem fragile and delicate, but they were not designed to deliver crushing punches or slicing cuts, they were designed to control something to do that for her.

Attached to Sylk's back is a mechanical spider, looking as if it was made of polished obsidian. While fastened to her back, four of its eight legs wrap around her chest and slide into the "sleeves" on her chestplate and snap into place to keep it firmly connected to her. Its finger-like mandibles gently wrap around her neck like an ornate metal necklace, revealing glowing gold fangs that touch ever so slightly together in a "V" between her collarbones. The spiderpack's other four arms move freely, and are completely controlled by Sylk's gloves, like a marionette. The upper arms can utilize fragment/defragment tools, bisectors, data welders, and manipulators. The lower two arms are primarily for weaponry, containing manipulators, wired projectiles/tasers, and busters. Housed in the abdomen of the spiderpack is a glowing ring, and inside sits an actively spinning generator, providing power to both itself and its mistress. The pack is almost entirely controlled remotely, it can only safely attach/detach from Sylk without guidance. However, even on the ground it is impressively nimble, and can bring its weapons to bear from a slight distance (approx 10 feet), but it won't stray past its relatively short range. Sylk can utilize the cameras on the 'face' of the pack to give her a different perspective of the battlefield, which can be especially useful when capitalizing on the pack's small size and high dexterity.

Combat: This .GMO provides Sylk with suitable protection, but she is still vulnerable to direct fire. To work around this, the spiderpack and her vambraces can host a variety of weapons to give her an all-range offensive package. She can also attack using her detached pack while simultaneously engaging targets from a different angle. With the pack attached, most chips would manifest as tools/weapons sprouting from the packs mechanical arachnid legs.


You all should talk to Yasu and see if you can get her to make her sexy outfits functional like this one...

[AUDIO TRANSMISSION]

Dear Djinni,

As per the tradition of the Merck family, it is customary for members of the household (or their representatives, on their behalf) to send out seasonal greetings to fellow associates and partners.

I truly believe that our chance meeting is of benefit and great value to my Operator, Rini Merck, and I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for meeting you and your Operator, despite how suspicious the circumstances may had been.

Please find attached the .GMO design that I have prepared for you to show our appreciation and wish you all the best for your future endeavours... and that we will meet again in the future.

... Hey wait a moment... I don't remember selecting pink as the .GMO's colour pale--


[/END AUDIO TRANSMISSION]

Signed off with best regards,
Shisho.EXE and Rini Merck


Lace Academia.GMO

Referenced off of a combination of Shisho's scholarly background and Rini's enthusiasm, Djinni obtains a GMO that is traditional and classic, yet... refreshing.

The outfit begins with a collared, pleated dress that reaches to below Djinni's knees. The dress is separated by two tones; beige from waist-up, and black waist-down. The sleeves are long and reached to her two elbows before being neatly done up in buttoned cuffs.

Topping the formal look is a pair of knee-high socks, looking like it is made of white cotton. The socks go with a pair of 1.5-inch, close-toed leather heels to complete the look.

Coming with the set is what would be familiar to most as a regalia-- an overcoat that is draped on a graduating student from a certain level of education, dyed in a very conventional, formal black, with two yellow rims on each side surrounding it's sleeves area. The regalia, however, gave room in front for Djinni to show off the formal dress she had underneath, giving her an academic, yet practical (or so Shisho think?) and stylish look.

Conventional design, however, ends there.

The other parts of Djinni's design has Rini written all over it, beginning with what would have been a formal academic hood that usually went with the overcoat. Instead, a large, pink piece of silky lace forms the hood's replacement, making a long round behind Djinni before tied up to a huge ribbon slightly below her neck. By some magical force or another, the ribbon can never be shaken off-- and was deemed one with the regalia.

With the details on her gift GMO's body (i.e. not as much skin) done, a quick inspection by anyone will realise that rather than having a ponytail from the back of her head, Djinni had all her hair tied instead near the end of all her hair, giving it a neat and organised look behind her back.

But wait! As one might look at Djinni's hair, one will also realise two thick strings of silky lace joining the hair behind her back. And your guess is probably right; the mortar board that Djinni donned had a pink ribbon tied to it rather than a tassel, and the strings were so ridiculously long that they dangled alongside with Djinni's long hair.

Other not-insane and irrelevant addendums that Djinni have at her GMO disposal are books, dictionaries, and clipboards for her combat and non-combat perusal.


It's nice to see one of these GMOs being used for something empowering and academic. Of course... with the pink and the kneesocks... it's cute as well.

Dear MeleeMan,

I really appreciate you going out of your way to provide me with some professional clothes to wear in the NetPolice HQ. It was such a good idea, in fact, that I thought I'd return the favor. I hope you'll make good use of these clothes that were custom-tailored to maximize your abilities as a police officer.

--Anyis

Quote (MeleeMan's new GMO)

MallCop.GMO
With him being kind enough to give her some "professional" attire to wear when on-duty with the NetPolice, Anyis just had to return the favor and give MeleeMan the same, tailored to his unique and particular talents. The uniform demands an off-white buttoned shirt and dark navy blue slacks, creating an air of faux authority around it with its apparent professionalism. Both sleeves are cuffed and end just above MeleeMan's elbows, and opposite a chest pocket on the shirt's right side is pinned a cheap brass NP Security badge. A similar logo is sewn onto the right shoulder of the shirt, and a navy blue tie matching MeleeMan's pants secures his collar and covers most of the shirt's buttons. Naturally, a professional pseudo-law enforcer like MeleeMan tucks his shirt in and secures his pants with a basic black belt with a brass buckle. Black socks and shoes of no real special worth complete the uniform, though the the left shoe often comes untied for whatever reason.

Clipped to MeleeMan's belt is a functional walkie-talkie, but he never gets a response no matter how much he talks into it. Opposite of the walkie-talkie is clipped MeleeMan's official ID card, though it doesn't give him clearance to... anything, really. The picture on the card is pretty awful, too. Per regulations, MeleeMan can't wear his helmet with this GMO, but Anyis was kind enough to manually include a bucket should he have a panic attack.

... What? A gun? Aside from this being MeleeMan of all people, officers of his "distinguished rank" are not alloted firearms. A nightstick? Such a cheap little bludgeon is beneath MeleeMan's skills as a law enforcer. No sir, the only equipment suitable for MeleeMan is...

==Custom Weapon: MakeWay==
A two-wheeled self-balancing battery-powered electric vehicle that the NetPolice bought in a bulk purchase several years ago. Only after distribution was it discovered they were slower than running on foot. Oh well. The MakeWay brand prides itself on sturdy construction, so at least MeleeMan can pick it up and beat people with it.


I whole-heartedly approve of a smart uniform. That said, I am going to assume the bucket has something to do with your friend's preference.

From: Terra.EXE

Not much interaction between us has passed, as we've only seen each other briefly for a short time during the pillow fight event. Still, I saw you on broadcast and thought it fitting to try and make a good-looking override for your use. I do hope that we will be able to meet again soon.

Quote (Vee's GMO)

Vee.EXE Override: Black Robes

In this GMO, Vee's bright-yellow outfit is traded for some loose dark blue robes, that cover her all the way from her neck to her feet, and her original black skinsuit is removed, leaving her face uncovered. She also gains a light black hood. At first glance, the "change" does not look very different at all, apart from the bright yellow disappearing from her clothing and her hair being covered. However, the manner in which the robes are arranged allow (most of the timesometimes unintentionally) for large parts of herself to be uncovered, revealing a completely different costume underneath the robes.

Under her hood, a few changes are more apparent once the shade from the hood is removed. Where her ears should be, her hair sports two horn-like attachments that spark out into multiple sharp edges. Her tongue can extend out like a snake's, much longer than it would normally. Her eyes have a feral shine to them, as well as bearing a hint of reddish tint. Beneath her loose robes, her body is marked on her neck, shoulders, abdomen, and thighs, by arcane-looking swirly blue markings. Folded on her back are petite black leathery wings, not really used for much of flight. She also sports a long, slender black tail, with a heart-shaped projection at the end of it. Her feet and hands are uncovered.

Her charged kunai are replaced by heart-tipped knives, colored an odd-looking pink.


Thank you for the gift, Terra... It sounds sort of sexy... I will try it out some time.

My dear companion, I've designed you a great .GMO that I believe is ideal for anyone following alongside my sensational exploits. You really don't know the allure of a dapper, man-in-mind suit and tie until you try one on for yourself, I say, and this is the perfect opportunity to get you into one. Nothing confuses the cookies more than to see you dressed as one of them, you see, all in the nines with your fitted pants and tailored, embroidered topcoat. Splendid, truly splendid! You'll look an absolute doll in them.

-Your Pal,
Sleuth

Quote ()

Sidekick.GMO

The name makes Sleuth's intentions with this .GMO more obvious than anything: in gifting her friend this .GMO, Sleuth endeavors to make her own little Dr. Watson, who will follow her begrudgingly in her endeavors. The outfit starts with a black bowler cap, thankfully without a monocle, which is perhaps too elderly and mannish a touch for a young lady. The rest of the outfit is multi-layered, which Sleuth considers essential, containing many elements of classical dress while still incorporating the traditional navi-suit.

The top layer consists of a black long-coat with a sort of short cape, wrapping around the shoulders but opening at the center of the chest, fastened with a gold buckle at the neck. Beneath that, a gray vest, gloves, and boots rest atop her navi-suit. The navi-suit itself is a pale gray, more towards white, covering from feet to neck. The end result is that when the cape is closed or mostly closed, it looks like regular formal wear, but when it's open, it becomes more obvious that it's a navi's clothing. Many of Mata's spy weapons are also swapped out for classical detective's and thief's gadgets, although it's noteworthy that some of them are harder to use than modern spy gear. Perhaps that was intentional?

No changes to the body occur and yet the outfit is perfectly tailored to Mata's body. Sleuth made a thorough analysis during their first meeting and decided to honor the little spy's original form.


This seems like a dashing look! I hope your friend will be pleased with all of the nifty gadgets.

Rhea.EXE Override: Meat Carver

In this graphical override, Rhea's entire mechanical appearance is substituted for a more human-like appearance, where she takes the form of a petite fair-skinned young girl. Her attire takes on the form of a long-sleeved grey shirt and pants, stained with liberal amounts of blood, with a dark red apron on top. Dull brown rubber gloves and rough steel-capped boots protect her hands and feet from stains. She still retains her headphones, though their color has changed to her apron's red as well.

Part of her hair is covered by being wrapped with a white scarf of some sort, conspicuously devoid of much red. Her eyes have their pupils slightly contracted permanently, though this does not affect Rhea's vision at all. Her left cheek sports a track of blood that looks like whatever left it was dragged across her face. Whenever she uses her sword skills, she pulls out cleavers of varying sizes from her apron, all looking like they've gotten a fair amount of use.

Lastly, Rhea's perceived weight significantly decreases while using this override, down to half her original.

Harley.SP Override: Wild Beast

In this graphical override, Harley's massive robo-equine form is substituted for a more natural look, changing his appearance to that of a wild beast. There is one little bit of difference, however; the horse that Harley was is now replaced with a bull. With a healthy brown color and a shaggy mane that almost entirely obscures his eyes, Harley looks every bit like a roaming bull. Huge horns add to the effect, and aid in solid headbutts as well.

Of course, the fixtures are set in place for Rhea (or any other rider) to ride him comfortably are still there, with the leather-wrapped saddle, storage box, and magnetic stirrups. In addition, his weight significantly decreases down to about half the value in his original form.


This would be a great Halloween costume! Not that you can't wear it for the holidays, of course.
