[hider=Halite]
Name
Halite, The Berserker
 
Appearance:
Halite is... big. Nearly as tall as some fusions, nearly as wide from muscle mass. His face is constantly twisted in rage due to the carefully placed imperfections in his gem affecting his ability to feel other emotions. His skin SHOULD be a ghostly white, but becomes reddish-pink due to the sheer amount of anger he feels at all times. He usually shows up wearing a simple jumpsuit.
 
Gender:
Male
 
Personality:
Halite is constantly seething with rage. Nobody knows if he has some traumatic event in his past, if he's been hit hard by the betrayal of Homeworld, or if he's just belligerent. While option three IS definitely true, there's a much simpler explanation: His gem was purposely flawed in order to make sure he was constantly angry in an attempt to make a more powerful soldier. He actually can't feel any other emotions without also experiencing anger. Because he's so angry, other Gems tend avoid him. They treat him like a machine or some kind of monster. And that makes him furious. It makes him miserable. It means his one joy in life is making the Gems as angry and miserable as he is.
 
In spite of this, he's found that the rage grants him a twisted clarity. He refuses to take part in the gem war now- seeing all that death, and watching all those humans using what little life they had defending their home has made him realize just how spectacular non-gem life can be... and just how terrible Gem society and psychology is as a whole. Where his former comrades and the earthbound gems see life as a thing that happens, he sees it differently- each and every thing, human, animal, or otherwise, is a miracle. Gems, on the other hand, are a race of psychotic warmongers who care nothing for the thoughts or dreams of others.
 
Bio:
Halite was born and bred as a warrior. Though a low-end gem, it's amazing what sheer belligerence can accomplish for a warrior. Many of the earthbound gems preach the value of love and friendship for the strength of a warrior, but Halite's incredible service record was powered by hatred and vitriol. As a low-class warrior, he was always treated like crap, and made sure to repay it in kind. He was just as unpleasant, belligerent, and hateful as you'd expect of someone viewed as a meatshield and possible weapon. He ended up getting left behind and corrupted during the Gem War, spreading his gem's influence to a site that would be host to many bloody battles over the centuries.
 
Then Steven went and healed him. Steven didn't freak out, didn't immediately start barking orders. He wanted to get to know Halite and actually asked him if he wanted to help fight. Halite shrugged and said "Nah," deciding that the Gems' problems were no longer his problems. The rest is history.
