Since when has there been DBT?

I just call Blue Trans Dark Blue Trans to differentiate it from Light Blue Trans. Now that I think about it though, the "light" differentiates it enough I guess.

But Bricklink calls it Trans Dark Blue so Iv'e just gone with that.

My bad, I meant DBT beam sword blades

AH! I didn't know there was either till I saw it in someone's bricklink shop I was already purchasing from and just threw it in my cart. It looks pretty nice.

[Steel_Valkyrie]

I usually treat glow in the dark not as an ore but more as phantom, specter, ghost, ect.

Bavaria: House of Falkenstein

The Falkensteins were a noble Bavarian family who rose to notable power within Bavaria. At the height of Bavarian power, they ruled lands bordering the Purple Sector. As the AN/TA war came to an end, the family began to fall out of power: the economy took a blow from the deescalation of the war, bands of space pirates raided various farming and mining systems causing the Falkenstein military to be spread thin, and pressures on the borders of the purple sector from communist threats grew too great. A military coup led by a band of other houses bought as communist puppets drove the Falkensteins out of their systems. fleeing to the Uasciri sector, The Falkensteins bide their time till they can rise to prominence once more.



Soldats

Soldats. Soldats are the basic fighting force of the Bavarian Falkenstein's.


Soldats are armed with bayoneted rifles and willing to die for the nobel family.

Schwertkämpfer (Knights)

Hoch Ritter Cyneburg 'The Fortress' is the leader of the Falkstein Knights and skilled in defensive combat. He is flanked by some loyal Schwertkämpfer

Jaegers

Falkenstein Jaegers are the most elite. It is said they can take on twenty men on their own.

Alfredas

A skilled military advisor and tactician.

Sigrid Falkenstein

Sigrid Falkenstein is the heir to House Falkenstein. As a little girl, she had an affinity for prespace American history. As she grew, she was trained in combat by various instructors to the nobel family, but always had an affinity for dual wielding hand weapons. Now she arms herself with two laser pistols that are designed to look like colt revolvers.

Update (6.24.16) Teutonic Knights

The Teutonic Knights are the most skilled and loyal soldiers in the Bavarian military. They have the freedom to act outside of the traditional military hierarchy which explains the variety of their appearance and nature. They are all loyal to serving Sigrid and House Falkenstein, which helps deter any potential political coups.
(Left to right)
Æthelweard the Gold - Arrogant but with the skills to match, Æthelweard often acts on his own as a one-man army.
Hoch Ritter Cyneburg The Fortress - Hoch Ritter acts most closely with the traditional military structure. He is able to subject himself to orders and leads a squad of lesser knights. His discipline and wisdom makes him one of the more effective knights.
Gozzo the Shadow- Gozzo dawns the appearance, equipment, and skillset of an assassin more than a traditional knight. He takes specific missions directly from Sigrid herslef usually in assassinations or sabotage.

Update (6.25.16) Bollwerk Mech





Giant Sword Kannon can demolish anything in its path.


Laser Cross-bolt.


Blade.


Piloted by the fourth Teutonic Knight, Hadufuns the Iron Giant.

I just call Blue Trans Dark Blue Trans to differentiate it from Light Blue Trans. Now that I think about it though, the "light" differentiates it enough I guess.

But Bricklink calls it Trans Dark Blue so Iv'e just gone with that.

Since I finished this page the just the other day, I've been thinking about that. Smoke Trans plus any other Trans creates a Dark Trans variant by necessity. I meant Smoke to be a kind of anti-element, a way to weaken other elements. Thought it might be a cool flip on the theme for the rest of them.

ST + Any Other Trans Element

ST serves as a dampener for most Trans Elements and tends to tint them a darker color. Blue loses energy, Green becomes stunted, Pink's influence becomes less intense, Purple loses power and purpose, Rainbow becomes muddled, and Red becomes both less potent and less radioactive. These are only common effects, of course, and ST might weaken other modified elements in new and surprising ways.

That said, I didn't want combination with, or infection by, Smoke to be the only way to achieve Dark Trans colors. Primarily because some factions use Dark Trans (and why would they if Smoke weakened an element). I want to, as always, build the lore around what folks come up with.

So I'd be interested in hearing any ideas for a general Dark Trans formula or, if it fits better, a specific DBT proprietary formula based on this faction (the way Zaubered Blue is based on Bavarian Tech or RIN Refined Red is based on RIN Tech).

On the subject, I have Glow-in-the-dark beam sword blades. they look epic, but what would they be called?

I usually treat glow in the dark not as an ore but more as phantom, specter, ghost, ect.

Exactly how I saw it as well.

[RedRover]

My general formula for transparent colors is that they represent various emotions (when weaponized in a magik sense). Each one has power and can be made into general weaponry, but their powers are truly unlocked when used by and in the fashion of the emotion or drive associated with them.
