Name
Pearl

Appearance


Gender
Female

Personality

Like the gem for which she is named, Pearl is a well balanced, well rounded perfectionist. As the placement of her gem is over her forehead, she has a tendency to overthink things. Intelligent, controlled and controlling, Pearl relies on her vast knowledge to make decisions, with a wide range of subjects varying from the history of gem kind to human engineering. Very organized, and meticulous, she can become flustered, and sometimes goes overboard (though she always means well). Despite, or because of, her obsession with neatness, Pearl is always graceful, from her elegant speech and prose to her fighting style, which closely resembles ballet.

Bio

Resources were depleting, and the gem world was being forced to outsource to other planets for more gemstones. Even as they established kindergartens on foreign planets, mining deep, there was still a plentiful supply of oysters on the gem homeworld, and with them, a seemingly infinite amount of pearls. Therefore, as so many could be churned out with ease, the Pearls became a servant class, serving as basically slaves, some lucky few becoming sentries for the higher-ups of society.

One Pearl was created from an oblong pearl- she was seen by the others as deformed, as defective. She was to be euthanized, until she was selected for sentry duty out of pity by Rose Quartz, to serve her personally. Upon coming into Rose's care, Pearl was granted her freedom. However, she chose to stay on in the service of Rose Quartz, taking care of her estate while she went off to other planets on missions.

Watching Rose as she did amazing things, going off to amazing places, Pearl began to wonder what it was like, out there, among the stars. Wishful thinking would get her nowhere fast, though, so she stood guard. Days passed. Months passed. Years went by, and Pearl simply stood guard, never knowing anything more than Rose Quartz's beautiful estate. However, it was not enough, and one day, she confronted Rose Quartz, and confessed to her the deep, intense longing she had- she yearned, more than anything, to travel through the stars with Rose. To explore space.

Amused, and impressed at Pearl's loyalty, Rose took the girl with her to Earth. Pearl was absolutely amazed by the wonders of the planet, presented to her by her hero. Rose saw the beauty in nature, and Pearl saw the beauty in mankind. Even as primitive creatures, they had a sense of free will, a sense of civilization, which was completely new to her, and fascinating. After one hundred years on Earth, though, both began to see the detrimental effects that the gems were having on the planet.

When the war began, Rose told Pearl to leave, to hide away, to protect herself. No matter how loyal she was, Rose said, Pearl still had a choice, and her safety should be her primary concern. Pearl insisted upon staying, and all throughout the war, she stayed at Rose's side, fighting with her through thick and thin. At the final battle in the strawberry fields, while everyone was being slaughtered, Rose desperately tried to convince Pearl to leave. Instead, she stayed- and in part, due to her efforts, the war was won. However, it was not won without casualties, both on the side of humans and of gems.

Guilt ridden, due to the damage they had caused in the war, Rose Quartz invited some of the gems- Pearl included- to stay with her on Earth, to protect humanity. For many centuries thereafter, the self-proclaimed Crystal Gems did just that.

Once Steven was born, Pearl harbored some resentment towards the child. However, as he grew older, she grew to love and care for him, becoming a bit overprotective. Once he grew into his powers, fully realizing himself, she began to see more of Rose in him than ever before. Now, she respects him, and loves him, and would do anything to help him.

When Steven began his friendship with the mayor of the town, Pearl befriended the man. They were a lot alike, in their personalities, in their perceptions of the world, et cetera. Buck Dewey took to Pearl quite easily; she was kind to him, albeit rather awkward. However, upon the realization that Dewey wanted more from her than just friendship, and knowing where romance could end, she ended their friendship before it could go any further.

Name
Sard

Appearance:




Gender:
Male

Personality:
Sard is hot-headed and confrontational. His fighting spirit is second to none, even if he isn't super strong by himself. He fools around frequently, and doesn't focus on something unless he finds it important. He abuses power frequently, tapping into his adrenaline to pull pranks and the such. He isn't very book smart, not knowing what gem or human machines do most of the time. He's not particularly interested in learning either, most of the time. Though he does mess around frequently, he will always be honest and direct when telling you how he feels.

He loves Environmental Art, as well as Earth itself. He's also a big fan of soda, he feels it energizes him, and he loves the fizzy, carbonated taste. He doesn't eat any human food though. He frequently reads comic books and manga in his off times.

Bio:
Sard was born to fight. His unique ability's clearest use was combat, so once he grew old enough he went into the military. Once there, he stayed a low ranking because of his lack of understanding of military technology, and his insubordination. Eventually, he was assigned onto Earth, to help out with the "Kindergarten Project." He found Earth absolutely stunning looking, all the flora and plants were fantastic. Though he didn't particularly care for the animals, so he begrudgingly aligned himself with the Home World. Now that he's back, he has come to understand the humans are decent enough, and will now fight for the beautiful space rock known as earth.

His waist, because he's always shooting from the hip.

Gem Unique Ability
Adrenaline - Sard is able to tap into his energy reserves to slow his perception of time, focus intensely, and give a small boost to his strength and speed. Unfortunately, this is draining, and if he does so to much, he will get tired and eventually revert to his gem form.

Name
Amber

Appearance


Gender
Female

Personality
Amber is curious, bubbly and optimistic. She is a bit shy at times, and has difficulty making decisions due to inexperience and lack of confidence. Although she has a hard time articulating it, she has a strong desire for order and safety in her life. As a result, she tends to like Pearl.

Bio
Amber was created towards the end of the Crystal Wars in a kindergarten on Earth. While the Crystal Gems attacked the kindergarten where Amber was created to shut it down, the caretaker ramped up production in an effort to save herself. The caretaker took the newly made gems including Amber, who were too young and inexperienced to fight as an efficient army, and broke or flawed their gems, turning them into gem monsters, hoping to escape in the ensuing chaos. The plan backfired; Amber, in her monstrous rage slew the caretaker. Rose's army was forced to put down all the gem monsters, Amber being among them.

Amber stayed imprisoned in the Crystal Temple until adult Steven healed her. She has little to no recollection of her time as a monster, and has a very innocent and naive outlook in life, having been 'alive' for a long time but aware for almost none of that time.

Electrostasis - Amber has the ability to build up and store an electric charge, and manipulate electrostatic repulsion.

She can also statically cling to surfaces.

Appearance:

Credit goes to artist.
Gender:
Male

Personality:
Obsidian is sort of a walking oxymoron. He is a cheerful, lighthearted young man, always smiled, telling jokes, and making people laugh. But underneath his childish disposition, is a want, better yet, a need to protect his comrades and his friends. Although people may not believe he can do it, he still strives, or tries to protect those he loves. The problem is, Obsidian is a coward, he is afraid to get hurt, despite that fact that he wants to protect others. At times he may run from danger because of this, but he tries his best to overcome this, despite that fact that it is in his nature.

Bio:
Obsidian was born in the Kindergarten, as an anomalie so to speak. He was one of the 3 experimental Gems created to end the war. Not to much is known about the experiment, but the experiment was aborted and 2 of the Gems created were left lacking. Obsidian was the only experiment who came out remotely successful before the experiment was ended. There perfect Gem, strong, fast, tanky everything that was wanted on the battle field.

Obsidian was found by Rose in the ruins of the Kindergarten. She cared for his for a bit before sending him to the battle field. She was confident that he would be able to handle whatever was thrown at him, despite his cowardice.
