ATTENTION: This RP is no longer taking others. If you have already expressed interest in either the interest check or here then feel free to apply, if not thank you for your interest but we are not accepting more characters at the moment.

"The site of one of the most brutal battles known to Gemkind, where countless gems were crushed into nothingness, where Rose Quartz and her army took their brave stand against the ruthlessness of their fellow Gems. Now only a field of wild berries that bury the tragedies of life times long forgotten, or so it seems. Under the colorful fields and the remnants of war something has began to stir, or rather someone. Gems that were long thought destroyed have begun to awaken after millenniums of slumber and find themselves in a world and time not their own. This is their story, our story."


This RP is about a group of Gems that once were part of Rouse Quartz's army who fought against the forces of the Homeworld Gems in the Gem Wars, but ended up taking severe damage during the last push of the war. Though they were not destroyed like many other Gems the damage they sustained caused them to have to retreat into their gems and heal, a process that took thousands of years. They have no knowledge of the events that transpired during the end of the war or the years that have followed it. Now that they are awake again they have to try and figure out what has exactly happened and what their places will be in this universe.

I planned on this being a character driven RP with the characters developing over time and trying to come to terms with what has exactly happened and what they have missed. That doesn't mean I don't plan on there being no action, a few Monster Gem fights, some trips into space, and maybe even a Homeworld Gem battle or two are all possible. As for the Crystal Gems, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, they do exist in this, but I did not plan on them being introduced too early so we could have some time to cement who our characters are first and let them get fleshed out a bit. But that is enough of that boring talk for now, it is time to move onto the fun part. Yes that is right my little gems it is time for.... *pause for dramatic effect* The Rules!!!

Da Rulez:
1. First off the time honored one for all RPs, no godmodding or powerplaying. If there are fights in the IC, and I hope there are, just try not to be like the kid on the play ground that says "You didn't hit me because of my super-duper-nothing-can-break shield was on!"
2. This one goes hand in hand with the first rule. When you are making a character don't go over board, like being a Gem warrior is one thing, but the secret child of Pearl and Rose who is also half fairy-whatever is something else altogether. We all keep that stuff in our respective fanfics thank you.
3. I don't mind drama in the IC, it's suppose to be there, but let's keep it out of the OOC, good vibes only dudes and dudettes
4. PG-13 guys, that goes for romance and fighting. No all out bloods baths in the IC and keep the serious romance in the PMs
5. Let us know if you're going to be gone for more than a day or so, I don't mind it just keeps people from being stuck in post lock
6. Put If every porkchop was perfect we wouldn't have hotdogs somewhere in your CS to show you read the rules
7. My Co-GM spot for this RP is currently open
8. Feel free to shoot any of your ideas at me at any time I don't mind at all :)
9. Have fun!

I'll jump on this train in a bit. I have. Question though, Lord GM. What are your thoughts on vision-based abilities?

@Renny: Everything seems good here save for the mimicry bit. It seems like it would open up some OPness type situations as all Jade would have to do is simply touch any other Gem and basically be on their same power level

@Shiinen: Hmmm depends on how it is used I guess. If it is like accelerated probability and is reasonably short sighted that would be fine, but if it is like "100000 years from now a guy name Frank is going to have a ham sandwich" then no

@Pacifista: Great, can't wait to see your character :)

@Saarebas I thought I had wrote it but what If its the GEM on the Gem. That's what I meant. It should make it harder, especially since everyone has their Gem in a different place. If not, I can find another power.

No no I understood that part, we really should set up a system to know when we are talking about Gem the race or gem as in the crystal on a Gem's body XD Anywho I am just concerned of what would happen say if Jade touched a Monster Gem's gem. Would he become a unstoppable monster? Hopefully you see my worries

Well, I had made the post to the thing. Sorry about the appearance difference from other gems as this was the only thing I could actually come up with and also the only picture I had at the moment. I think I made him a bit powerful? I don't know. I had that whole Pseudomorph idea in my head when I saw a Talc-Quartz Pseudomorph, which basically made that quartz as weak as Talc and that mineral is super weak. I was thinking of this idea for quite some time, but I can always change it if it is too powerful for everyone. I'm up for some constructive criticism from anyone from my OC.

@Renny: Thank you also it is a pretty great character :)

@Nthitho12: Interesting ability, but I am a bit curious how would one defend against this attack you know besides ripping off the infected body part XD

@Saarebas: Well, I first thought that Talc would have to get close to some gem that is trying to kill him as he is also super fragile. However, I think I worded it wrong since I was thinking it was basically cement on the body, it can be pretty hard to get it off but it can be broken with brute force like slicing or smashing through the substance. The catch is that you have to be pretty careful in trying to remove the substance without hurting oneself, so you basically have to do that out of combat unless it is dire to keep on fighting and injure yourself in the process of removing the substance. However, I think I can add that if Talc is ever hurt while the substance is on someone, it will weaken the grip and be easier to take off.

@SaarebasDecided to keep it singular. Manipulation of Air is pretty powerful.

Oh my gosh, sorry for skimming through the rules. I was watching T.V at that part and didn't notice it. Man, that is embarrassing.

@Renny: Okay and also you are officially accepted, welcome aboard :)

@Nthitho12: So it is basically a restraint you are saying with the side affect of working like a leech? That sounds pretty darn impressive and acceptable, though the part about if Talc is knocked unconscious and the substance weakening would be appreciated. That part is green lighted and just to check before giving you the stamp of approval, his marbles they can be used for multiple purposes right? They aren't too over powered are they? I don't have to worry about you tossing a marble and blowing up a town do I?

Oh my gosh. No. Talc can control this stuff for other purposes if inside of a safe environment like medicinal purposes like just patching up some scrapes and something else minor. However, he can't just spam it though as taking more than needed would weaken him. The point is that Talc in the real world is used inside a bunch of stuff and I just decided to add that in for fun as to make it more like the mineral.
