Carnelian
PastellePirate by PastellePirate
Art (c) PastellePirate

Gem Type
Quartz

Gem Location
Backside of Right Hand

Alignment
Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Soldier

Weapon
Battle Axe

Personality
Carnelian is the "strong and silent" type. She is reserved and won't often speak unless addressed directly. She's grumpy, irritable, and very moody. Beneath her grizzled exterior, Carnelian is a tired old soldier who is grief-stricken and emotional, but she shows this only to her most trusted colleagues. Her frustrations often cause her to come across as cruel, but she is far from it.

Bio
Created 6500 years ago, Carnelian rose to status quickly when she was selected as a trainee for General Bloodstone, a great general whose legacy she would proudly carry on. When the rebellion started, Bloodstone and Carnelian were stationed on earth with their troops, to combat Rose Quartz's Crystal Gems, but their numbers depleted quickly and new soldiers were needed soon. So, from two Kindergartens on the earth, more soldiers were grown and cultivated, among them a young amethyst that Carnelian nicknamed "Amy." Carnelian and Amy fell in love, but romance on the battlefield was known to end in tragedy, and theirs was no exception. A fossil invasion of their camp led to Amy's untimely demise and, grief-stricken, Carnelian hunted down and shattered as many of the feral war machines as she could find. Her resentment for fossils as a whole lasted even after the war, when she was reduced from a proud general to a mere babysitter for new quartz soldiers, who she now trains in an arena. She has since overcome her hatred for fossils, having become captivated with one of them as a new lover.

Gem Type
Quartz

Gem Location
Navel

Alignment
Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Soldier

Weapon
Cat o' Nine Tails

Personality
Amy is optimistic and energetic. She's very friendly and entirely too trusting, which often puts her in compromising situations as a soldier and makes her come across as gullible. She's more sweet-natured than a quartz has any right to be and a hopeless romantic.

Bio
Created in the Prime Kindergarten, Amy emerged from her incubation chamber in the middle of the war for earth. Immediately, she was recruited as a soldier under the command of General Bloodstone and Commander Carnelian. Carnelian soon became smitten with her and the two fell in love, inseparable even in the heat of battle. But, their romance was not to be, as a fossil invasion of their camp led to Amy's unfortunate demise. Today, her former mate still mourns her, but has reluctantly moved on.

Bloodstone
CLDrawsThings by PastellePirate
Art (c) CLDrawsThings @ Tumblr

Gem Type
Quartz

Gem Location
Chest

Alignment
Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Soldier

Weapon
Mace

Personality
Bloodstone is energetic and obnoxious, as a quartz soldier should be - at least in her eyes, that is. She has a definite mean streak and will often lash out of others out of sheer spite or cruelty. Her presence commands respect and obedience, and so she is seldom questioned. Her aggressiveness is rooted in emotional turmoil from her earlier life, but she shares this information with no one. She is very solitary and seldom socializes with other quartzes now, though she often wishes to.

Bio
Bloodstone is an ancient quartz who came long before the resource shortage that Homeworld is currently experiencing, allowing more resources to be put into her as an individual. As such, she emerged from her incubation chamber enormous and powerful and with potential that she soon realized, rising to fame quickly for her effective methods on the battlefield. Before the war for earth, she had fought in several smaller wars, given the title of "general" when her superior was shattered in combat and she took over and led the surviving troops to victory. This earned her the attention of the infamous Dragon Blood Jasper, a renowned war leader even larger than she. The two became romantically involved, but Bloodstone's fire shone brighter than Dragon's and, in her jealousy, resentment formed between them. Shortly before the war for earth, Dragon and Bloodstone separated, only for Bloodstone to discover a short time into the rebellion that she was pregnant. Still, she fought on, eventually delivering her geode and, when it hatched, raising her newborn on the battlefield. Of course, this didn't end well and, in a fossil invasion, Bloodstone lost her child. Today, she remains on Homeworld, as the supervisor of the current population of fossils, determined to stop them from ever hurting someone else the way they hurt her. She still mourns the child she lost.

Zebra Jasper
lymerikk by PastellePirate
Art (c) lymerikk

Gem Type
Quartz

Gem Location
Left Thigh

Alignment
Crystal Gems

Purpose
Soldier

Weapon
Crossbow

Personality
Zebra is optimistic, cheerful, and very friendly. She's polite and surprisingly coy for a quartz, with an immense appreciation for anything pretty, dainty, or cute. She's sensitive, emotional, and cries easily. She's a supportive and kind friend.

Bio
Zebra is a former Homeworld soldier who defected to the Rebellion. There, she served as a soldier for awhile, before a recon mission gone awry led to her capture. Homeworld tried to wrench information from her, but she wouldn't talk, so another use was found for her. Her gem was ensnared in a vase, which was placed inconspicuously in common areas where potential traitors or spies might frequent. The vase could overhear conversations and capture them within its walls, to be repeated later, much like the mirror that Lapis Lazuli was captured in, but with sounds instead of images. When the corruption weapon sounded, Zebra was forgotten in her vase in an abandoned Homeworld base, and it was thousands of years before two gems - one a defective quartz on a suicide mission and one a runaway pearl - discovered and freed her. She now resides peacefully on earth.

Biggs Jasper
FlareViper by PastellePirate
Art (c) FlareViper

Gem Type
Quartz

Gem Location
Right Thigh

Alignment
Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Soldier

Weapon
Flail

Personality
Biggs isn't the most social or the most positive gem. She is primarily solitary and prefers to keep to herself. She seldom speaks, preferring to communicate through nods, shrugs, or grunts. Because of this, little is known about her.

Bio
Biggs was manufactured before the Rebellion in a non-earth Kindergarten. When the Rebellion started, she was stationed on earth to battle, where she met her first lover, Zebra Jasper. Zebra was the first individual that Biggs felt safe around, and she showed a new side of herself to the young quartz. But, their relationship suffered obvious consequences when Zebra defected to the Rebellion and Biggs refused to follow. Later, when news of the corruption weapon reached her, Biggs tried to locate Zebra to bring her back to Homeworld with her and save her from a terrible fate, but she couldn't find her, unaware that she had been captured by Homeworld forces. Biggs didn't reach the ships in time when the weapon sounded and, as such, she now roams earth today in a corrupted form.

Gem Type
Opal

Gem Location
Left Shoulder

Alignment
Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Entertainer

Weapon
Spear

Personality
"Lego" is a sweet-natured individual, but she's also a phenomenal brat who expects to get her way and will pout incessantly if she doesn't. She's spoiled, pampered, and accustomed to lots of attention and care from others. She is, however, harmless and still kind, with compassion for those who have less than her.

Bio
Lego was created as an entertainer for aristocratic gems, to perform in staged battles and dramatic stories onstage at parties reserved for the elites. Like all entertainers, she is under constant pressure to perform well, or she risks being systematically culled for someone fresher and newer. Once a fond lover of General Carnelian, their relationship ended quickly.

Gem Type
Pyrite

Gem Location
Left Eye

Alignment
Rogue

Purpose
Recon
Resource Retrival

Weapon
Rapier

Personality
Pyrite is energetic, high-spirited, and very friendly. She borders on obnoxious in how chatty and social she is, but she means well. While she might initially come across as selfish, she is very compassionate and shares her wealth with whoever needs it. She has a strong sense of justice and strongly opposes Homeworld because of it.

Bio
During the Rebellion, Pyrite was sent to earth for recon and resource retrieval, but she soon became disgusted with Homeworld's treatment of her fellow gems and humanity. She vanished on a solo mission and was assumed dead, until she returned several months later to pummel a ship from Homeworld forces and disappear once again. Pyrite used her stolen ship to venture across the earth, where she momentarily settled down among local humans and became familiar with the concept of being a pirate, as well as human myths and legends, including Robin Hood. Fascinated, Pyrite used her stolen ship - and the following she quickly gained in the form of crew members - to pummel goods from Homeworld forces and use them to help the gems and humans who suffered at their hands. Others she returned to the Crystal Gems, to be used in their effort to stop Homeworld. When the corruption weapon sounded, Pyrite had left the earth with her crew. She now travels the galaxy, frequently visiting Homeworld colonies only to steal from and taunt them.

Gem Type

Gem Location
Right Side of Abdomen

Alignment
Crystal Gems

Purpose
???

Weapon
Chakrams
Control of Fire

Personality
Sunstone is a compassionate and optimistic gem with a spirit of adventure. She is energetic and very playful, which can cause her to become annoying to some, but she is generally well-liked. She is flirtatious and knows no modesty.

Bio
Sunstone defected to the Rebellion almost immediately when she was brought to earth, but she was not meant for battle and it wasn't long before the inevitable happened and she became cracked. Immediately, feral fossils closed in on her, sensing weakness, and, frightened for her life, she fled the scene, managing to reach a frozen mountain valley before she collapsed feebly. She was certain that she would be shattered by the fossils who still pursued her, but instead found an unlikely savior in the form of an ice quartz who lived nearby, named Rabten. Rabten fended the fossils off and took Sunstone to her home to nurse her back to health, but she couldn't heal her cracked gemstone. As the weeks passed them by, Rabten and Sunstone started to fall in love, but Sunstone's crack worsened and, soon, she had to return to Rose Quartz to be healed. Ever the one for a hapless love story, Rose encouraged Sunstone to return to Rabten, sensing her misery without the lover she had unexpectedly found. Sunstone decided to leave the war to instead be with Rabten and, together, the two watched over a nearby village of humans, becoming local legends. Today, she resides in the same mountains with her mate.

Opalized Fossil
Click for Reference

Gem Type
Fossil
Standard Variety

Gem Location
Right Forearm

Alignment
Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Research

Weapon
Studded Arm Sleeve

Personality
Fossil is overly friendly and lives to flirtatiously and sexually tease. She has no sense of modesty, nor personal boundaries. She is as tenacious as fossils are said to be, with an insatiable sexual appetite. She brims with confidence, but, beneath her nearly egotistical exterior, she suffers from self-esteem issues because of her species' negative history and how she is frequently treated.

Bio
Fossil is a researcher who studies corruption and the potential to restore gems from shattered and/or corrupted states. While she's a brilliant researcher, she's more renowned for her tendency to prey on quartzes in the local arenas. Among her favorite victims is General Carnelian, who is known to dislike fossils for their role in the war as vicious, tenacious shatterers. It's an unexpected turn of events for them both when Carnelian falls in love with her, resulting in them becoming romantically involved. Uniquely, Fossil possesses a trait known as "opalization," which was caused when local opal deposits latched onto her gemstone in her incubation chamber. She is the only fossil known to have this characteristic, and it has led to her being able to get away with many shenanighans that a lesser fossil would be shattered for.

Purpose
Servant

Weapon

Personality
Champagne is mild-mannered and sweet, but still spunkier than most pearls are allowed to be. She is confident, even in the face of adversity, and believes in herself as an individual. She is compassionate and wishes to help others.

Bio
During the Rebellion, a pregnant pearl's owner was shattered and she was sheltered in General Bloodstone's camp, where she delivered her geode and watched it hatch into a beautiful child, a champagne pearl. However, there was little time for her to rejoice in her newborn's arrival, because a fossil invasion of the campsite sent her fleeing into the snow, panicked and afraid, with her child in tow. The moment she fled, she sealed her fate, as the fossils descended on her and shattered her, her bundled newborn rolling away from the gorey scene and somehow overlooked in the snowy pass. For two days, she laid there, alone and cold, before General Carnelian found her and, out of compassion, took her back to camp with her. She intended to turn her over to another pearl, but found herself too attached and decided to raise the child herself. Today, Champagne lives on Homeworld with Carnelian, not as a servant, not as a plaything, but as a beloved child.

Gem Type
Fossil
Primeval Variety

Gem Location
Left Canine Tooth

Alignment
Rogue

Purpose
Destruction

Weapon
Teeth & Claws

Personality
Prima is cruel for no reason other than to be cruel. She is aggressive and angry, her ire insatiable. She seems to have no compassion for others. There is no kindness in her heart.

Bio
With the war came a need for more soldiers, but the resource crisis made it difficult for Homeworld to produce quartz soldiers effectively, with many emerging defective. So, a new solution was devised: fossils. Fossils were sharp-toothed, animal-like gems designed to assist quartzes on the battlefield, as well as roam Homeworld territory in search of spies or intruders and bring them down swiftly and effectively. For awhile, this worked well, until it became clear that fossils operated largely on their own agenda. Among the original fossils trained to serve quartzes was Fossil #7413, dubbed Prima, who was heinously abused by her handler until she snapped and shattered her, but not before she brutally mauled her. It's said that once she had a taste for blood, she was insatiable, with among the highest headcounts of any individual in the war.

Purpose
Servant

Weapon
None

Personality
Matte is extremely, severely anxious. She's very easily frightened and very sensitive. Her stress levels are unhealthy.

Bio
Intended as a reward for an amethyst soldier who served in the war, Matte was declined upon delivery and instead became a "public service pearl" to be used for casual maintenance and clean-up as needed. She's frequently borrowed to clean the private quarters of aristocrats, who are apt to shouting at or even physically injuring her. Because of this, Matte is extremely anxious and always afraid. Her life was miserable until she was summoned to clean the private quarters of General Carnelian, where she met the quartz's pearl, Champagne. The two became friends and, later, lovers. Sympathetic to her ill treatment, Carnelian "adopted" Matte as a secondary pearl, so that she could live peacefully with Champagne instead.

Personality
Lovebug is a small child with the energy and personality of a puppy. She's energetic, playful, and rambunctious and loves to cause trouble. She's affectionate towards her parents, sisters, and adoptive sister, Champagne. Lovebug is known to be very grumpy for a gemling, often wearing pouty expressions.

Bio
General Carnelian and Opalized Fossil accidentally conceived early into their relationship, which resulted in the birth of four carnelian cubs and a single, undersized fossil runt. Remarkably, Lovebug was born opalized, a trait previously possessed only by her mother. What Lovebug lacked in size, she more than compensated for with spunk. She is especially fond of Champagne, her adoptive older sister, who babies her and often sneaks her snacks.

Purpose

Weapon
Throwing Spear

Personality
Dragon is high-spirited, loud, and rambunctious. When she laughs, the entire room seems to shake. While she is friendly, her presence demands to be respected, and many are instinctively cautious or fearful of her. When crossed, she is spiteful and vengeful.

Bio
Dragon Blood Jasper was one of the most renowned warriors on Homeworld until the Rebellion, when newer quartzes would replace her. She was feared for her tactics and respected for her power, and rightfully so. She desired to have an heiress and sought a mate as strong and battleworthy as she, which led her to court General Bloodstone, then a young and gullible quartz. The two were in a relationship for many years, until Bloodstone eventually outshone Dragon and caused the older quartz to begin resenting her quietly. When the Rebellion started, the two separated in a bitter dispute, and Dragon went on to be a private guard to Pink Diamond, while Bloodstone led troops on the field. Dragon didn't hear from her until months later, when Bloodstone sent notice that she was pregnant. Though surprised, Dragon was willing to put aside their differences for the sake of their unborn child and, desperate, she abandoned her post to try to reach her former mate. She was caught and shattered for her disobedience, as a show of force. Today, Bloodstone doesn't know that this is how Dragon died, and instead believes that Dragon turned a blind eye to her situation and let her suffer alone.

Weapon

Personality
Yip is energetic and high-spirited. While she is friendly, she's only selectively so. She is highly social and needs near constant attention from either her owner, Milky Quartz, or other fossils to remain happy and healthy. She can be very petty and spiteful, as she's accustomed to a pampered and spoiled lifestyle and getting her way constantly. She's very snarky and has little respect for authority.

Bio
Toy fossils were selectively bred from standard fossils to be smaller, cuter, and tamer, used as servants and glorified playthings for elites and aristocrats who wanted something more exotic than a pearl. Yip was originally given to two other owners before she came to live with her current one, Milky Quartz. She was returned because she was too high-maintenance and "yippy" to be desirable as a servant, but Milky treats her very fondly and kindly and gives her the attention she needs. Yip is very spoiled and pampered and lives happily with her mistress.

Personality
Milky Quartz is a mild-mannered and even-tempered quartz, who is far less rambunctious than most members of her gem type. She is level-headed and has an immense love of children. She is compassionate and kind, even towards those who might not deserve it.

Bio
Milky was intended as a soldier like all the other quartzes, but her distaste for violence and ineptitude at combat soon made it apparent that this was not what she was effective at. She was repurposed as a caregiver for young gemlings, whose parents had to be away during working hours and couldn't be left alone with potentially incompetent pearls. Milky adores children and, as she was unable to ever have her own due to infertility, she loves the attention she's able to give them. Yip, her toy fossil, frequently accompanies her as an assistant.

Gem Location
Right Foot

Alignment
Rogue
Formerly Homeworld
Yellow Diamond

Purpose
Containment/Discipline

Weapon
Whip

Personality
Moss is more even-tempered and patient than the average agate, optimistic and cheerful to the point of being considered friendly. She's a talkative and social individual, with an affinity for gossip, but this is the extent of her cruelty. She doesn't have it in her to be genuinely mean towards other quartzes, and she refuses to harm others except in rare instances of self-defense. She's very jolly and chatty and easily swayed to the perspectives of others, with gems frequently taking advantage of her compassionate and gullible nature.

Bio
Moss was unlike the other agates from the beginnings, too passive and relaxed to ever be formidable enough to control an entire platoon of soldiers. Her quartzes were never afraid of her and she frequently lost control of them, but resources were so slim throughout the war that Homeworld couldn't afford to replace her. Tragedy befell her when she led her quartzes into an ambush in a transition between bases, prompting the untimely demise of over half her soldiers and the containment of the others in bubbles. Only Moss escaped, fleeing the scene. She knew she couldn't return to her Diamond without an entire platoon of valuable soldiers, and so she vanished into the earthen wilds, where she came across Pyrite and her crew. She later became one of their members.
