Name: Carnelian Species: Gem Appearance: Rather short, with a thin and angular body. Carnelian's skin is a rusty orange, with very subtle stripes and spots of browns and reds along their body. They have thick, dark red hair that his shaved on one side of their skull and tumbles down the other, as well as notably sharp teeth. A carnelian gemstone is located where their left eye should be. Personality: Rebellious, explosive, and independent. Carnelian is a gem who is overly confident in their own skills, always assuming that they are the best for every job and opportunity. They are fast to anger and have a strong temper. Due to their lack of strong loyalty, Carnelian can easily put a mild sort of trust in others, and can easily drop or cut them away from her life. Despite their temper being a sort of time bomb, they can have a good time-- especially with their tendency to ignore rules. If put under control or submission to anyone, they will bridle and rebel as much as possible. Other: Carnelian was an escaped convict on Homeworld until she arrived on Earth. Their weapon is a gem-studded battleaxe.

Name: Morganite Species: Gem Appearance: Morganite's skin is a light pink (Salmon) in color, with bobbed hair of a slightly darker shade. She is semi-tall with a gemstone at the base of her throat. Personality: Happy-go-lucky and sunshiny (Sometimes overly so). She tries to see the bright side of things, but this sometimes leads her to make decisions with her heart rather than with her head. She is friendly and usually loves to help out other people, but she tends to be somewhat of a pushover, and will do things for other people that she probably shouldn't in order to avoid disappointing them. More to be developed! Other: She/her pronouns. Still working on backstory, but her weapon is a crossbow.

(Welp. I feel like starting)
Carnelian yawned, cracking her knuckles as she surveyed the swamp surrounding her with disinterest. Walking around this stupid rock for a few thousand years, and this was where she decided to end up? Scoffing, she ran her fingers through the mud that had caked itself in her hair. There was an abandoned Kindergarten not far from here, she knew. Maybe she should check up on it-- just to make sure that nobody from the homeworld was still keeping tabs on Earth.

(I'm not very far in this series but I have to join, c;rud)
Name: Tanzanite Species: Gem Appearance: Just below shoulder length dark blue hair, usually done with a small braid on each side of her head. Slightly paler blue skin. Gemstone is on her/their left shoulder. She has a tall, thin build. Personality: Not usually one to hang around with others, Tanzanite is a free spirit, roaming and stopping wherever she feels is necessary. Calm and a logical thinker, she doesn't get flustered too easily. Other: Tanzanite walks with a limp. Her weapon is a jewelled sword. Her current origins are unknown and she can be fairly secretive about it.

Name: Coral Species: Gem Appearance: Smooth, slightly rounded figure with very pale, almost-white skin splotched with varying shades of pinkish red-orange and even some patches of patterned black and white (like fossilized coral). Long, wavy, pinkish-red hair reaching to the middle of her back. Her gem is relatively small and located between her shoulder blades. Personality: Soft-spoken, gentle, and observant. She watches things carefully, assessing them before speaking or acting. She's very go-with-the-flow and adaptable, but also quite sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. Despite this, in the long-term, she can be surprisingly resilient, though in these situations, she hides her pains and doesn't open up to many. Other: Coral chose to live on Earth, as the oceans had always intrigued her. She spends as much time as possible in or around the sea, and her fighting style reflects her habits. In combat she flows like water, aided by a smooth, curved sword the color of her hair that's similar to an Egyptian khopesh.

Morganite aimed her crossbow, peeking out from behind the rock. The serpent was up and alert, gem glittering faintly in the back of its throat. Red eyes snapped around, searching for the figure that had been fighting it moments before. Now? Morganite's hand loosened on the string. Can I get a clear shot from here? The answer turned out to be no, because the snake soon spotted her, sending her scrambling back into the cliff side. If I could only get up there, I could get a clear headshot... But I wouldn't be able to climb past it's reach fast enough. She shot a sloppy arrow, which planted itself in the large reptile. It screeched, but that was more out of rage than out of defeat, Morganite figured. The creature appeared indifferent.

Tanzanite walked, her sword resting on her shoulder as she surveyed the area. It all seems pretty calm... maybe that horrible thing is really gone. It's been a week... She winced as she heard a screech, wondering where it could have come from as she listened for any other sounds.

Coral watched with narrowed eyes from behind a boulder, hand gripping the hilt of her khopesh tightly. This wouldn't be a difficult mission. Not like others they'd gone on before, but it still paid to be cautious. The tight, rocky space made her uncomfortable, but she took a deep breath and returned her focus to the serpent. This'll be quick.

Carnelian paused, looking around as they heard a screech pierce the air. A grin slowly spread itself across their face. I was hoping for a little fun today. Carefully, they peered through thick trunks, seeing the tail of what looked like a giant serpent. I wonder if it's too late to join the party.

When Tanzanite finally made it to the source of the screech, she narrowed her eyes, watching and slowly readying herself to attack, gripping her sword in her hands.

Carnelian pushed their way into the clearing behind the snake, battleaxe gleaming in their left hand. The gem lifted it, muscles tensing in preparation for the throw-- Is that... Their eyes widened and narrowed, as if unsure what to do. They were trained on the blue body that could be seen through the foliage on the other side of the clearing. It had to be a gem. No human had skin or hair that color, or a weapon quite like that. Carnelian felt the breath be sucked out of her as she forgot about the snake. There's more gems here. There's more gems on Earth.

A look of slight shock and surprise passed over Coral's face at the sight of the orange gem. She'd had suspicions of others. After all, she knew Morganite. But even so, this was...unexpected. And especially at a time and place like this. What could this new gem be doing in a Kindergarten?

Carnelian's eyes searched the Kindergarten. They could see a hint of pale, mottled skin behind a boulder. Bright pink along the cliff face. Their breathing became a bit tighter. Three others. There's three other gems here. Where did they come from?! Were they made here? Are they here from homeworld? Are they going to capture me?!

Tanzanite was about to move when she became fully aware there were others, too. She hadn't really processed the thought until now. Where did they come from? What are they doing here? Well, probably the same thing as me.. but still...

Stepping out from behind the boulder, Coral severed the serpent's head in one swift motion, quickly bubbling the gem that fell to the ground. She turned to face Carnelian, skeptical as she studied their face. She was reluctant to put away her weapon, however, and decided against it for now.

Carnelian stepped forward, not releasing their tense grip on the battleaxe. "Who are you?" she asked. tilting her head. "Are you... from the homeworld? Or were you made here?"

"I am from the homeworld, yes," Coral replied carefully, sitting down on the rocky floor of the Kindergarten in an attempt to appear less threatening. I'm still in control. I'm still in control of the situation.
