Name:
Talc

Gem:
It can be found on the back of the head in a jagged square shape form.

Appearance:
Talc is very secretive on its appearance, wearing stuff to cover the entire body. Talc's build is rather undefinable since of the large coat covering the entire body, and the only thing you can say is that Talc is rather short and that the voice is almost boyish sounding. He wears a large black trench coat, the popped up collar circling his entire head and covering the chin, neck, and mouth. He also has buttons reaching down to its chest, and a large pocket on both sides of the bottom half of the coat. The trench coat also goes down to his feet, covering him from mouth to toe! Talc has two matching leather gloves, and large blue lensed goggles. Lastly, he wears a wide brimmed fedora and even covering the entire body with bandages. Talc is also very light weight and agile even inside of the clunky clothing, but it leads Talc to be weaker than most every gem and is barley as tough as an average human.

Weapon:
Talc carries no weapons, but produces marble sized balls of his own gem that can be crushed into powder through minimal physical activity. This powder can be used in many ways from medicine to lethal manners.

Unique Abilities:
Pseudomorph - Talc is able to harm other gems, but inside of a very special manner than smashing them into bits and pieces. The weapon he uses is able to mess with the structure and form of other gems as the minerals will latch onto any part of the gem and transform the body into the same material of itself. It takes several days to weeks for the infection to stay inside of place and can be no longer removed resulting in death for the gem. At first touch, the gem will weaken depending on where Talc had hit them. If hit around the body like the limbs, it won't incapacitate the gem, but will feel weaker than their regular self almost as if they were actually sick. The malleable substance is fairly hard to take off, but if enough force is used it can be torn off and easily crushed into nothingness. However, the substance can be easily taken off by Talc and absorb back into the layers of clothing. A more powerful state of the material is if it is placed on the gem, the gem would be severally weakened and the process would go much faster. The process is that the gem will on a very small scale turn into the substance that was put onto the gem and would also make that part of the body fairly weak compared to the rest of the body. It almost spreads like an infection from the point of the gem to the rest of the body. If the entire body is covered inside of the material than the original gem would slowly deteriorate and become an empty shell of the substance. This process takes weeks to fully affect the gem and can still be cured if taken care of early. There is another way rather than beating up the infection and that is to actually incapacitate Talc making the substance much easier to be removed from the body.

Behavior:
Talc is concerned with his own well-being and that of the Crystal Gems. He may behave in a good manner to those he considers friends and allies, but will only act maliciously against those who have tried to injure him in some way. For the rest, Talc does not care. He does not wish ill on those he doesn't not know, but he also does not care when he hears of evil befalling another group. Better for others to suffer the evil than himself. If an ally is in need, Talc will aid them, out of genuine love or because he may be able to count on that ally a little more in the future. If someone else is in need, he will weigh the options of the potential rewards and dangers associated with the act. If an enemy is in need, Talc will ignore them or take advantage of his misfortune.

Talc can be easily offended by those who are opinionated or bigoted. A rather zealous Crystal Gem is just as offensive as a racial supremacist Homeworld Gem in his eyes. Talc also does not necessarily strive for balance amongst the world. In fact, he may have tried to avoid the situation in general. The strange gem also didn't take up the cause for the Crystal Gems like others had done, as he didn't necessarily feel obligated to do so, but because it just made sense to support the group that protected his way of life.
