@Akayaofthemoon I'm glad to hear that, hopefully everyone is willing to stick it out for a while. I guess one bright side to this is that Loony will miss less.
And that's great! Okay, so for Chromite's backstory, I was thinking that she could have originally been a part of a squad of similar defensive gems who may or may not have also been Chromites. They showed up rather late in the war against Rose Quartz but saw a lot of combat against crystal gem forces since this was at the point when Homeward may have been getting desperate. In the end, every other member of Chromite's group had their gem shattered in battle, with only Chromite surviving the war. She was dejected and traumatized for a long time because of this, and it was at some point after the events of the war that Bloodstone took her in, probably because of her uncanny ability to survive.
