|~ We Are the Crystal Gems ~|

Jade

She slowly sunk down to the floor of the ocean, her weapon disappearing into a small flash of light and a shimmer of green. She takes a small step backwards as many of the gems that had been attacking the serpent swam towards her. "Thank you" she said with a small nod to Emerald, rubbing her neck self-consciously and smiling a bit at the other two gems. "I was lucky to get that shot, and the fact the beast was sensitive there was fortunate." She shrugs slightly, then looks back at the gem on the ground, which rolled slightly against the current, the gem cloudy and dark. "We need to take this corrupted gem somewhere safe, before it can reform."

(Aight, recap: there were some gem beasts and multiple gems have been fighting them. The alpha beast was just killed. I believe there's a group of gems at the pizza place? And there's a couple scattered around by the beach/in town)

The Guts n Stuff


Likes: Nighttime, The ocean, being around other gems, Humans amuse her.

Dislikes: The sun ("WHAT IS THAT??") Having to talk a lot, loud people, over-romantics.

Personality: Onyx is quiet for the most part, though she can explode at times. She's very volitile due to her nature as a combination of different minerals infused into a gem, and she can have horrible mood swings, especially if left on her own for long periods of time.

History (not optional): (Prepare for a lot of Homeworld Headcannon and/or headcanon in general!)
She was made in a kindergarden on a gem-controlled planet and brought to the Homeworld. She was an experiment with infusing different minerals in gems, but not creating a fusion. These experiments often acted vicious and feral, like wild animals. The only way to keep them in check was to give them to some gem who agreed to look after them and care for them. This gem was known as their "Grounding Gem" or simply their "Ground.". It was a gem that they loved or hated so much, their feral sides would fade, and they could be used in experiments. Soon after Onyx had been made, however, the experiments were pulled to a screeching halt, due to unknown factors and a command from a high-ranking official. Now, Onyx was put up as a simple war toy, and given to a giant Bruiser gem. Bruisers being gems much like Jasper- strong, mostly hot-tempered, and sometimes cruel even. Shortly after, the Bruiser was found shattered in her own ship, and Onyx was nowhere to be found. It was assumed that she had used the escape pod after shattering the lug. Some of the techies had laughed, and the scientists went into an uproar.
"Really? You think giving an unstable gem to an oaf like that would work?" Was the gist of what they said. The escape pod crashed into earth's ocean, and Onyx was pronounced dead on impact. She wasn't. She had reverted into her gem form, and now had washed up on the beach, not far from the town. Her time incubating in her gem had paused her feral approaches at life, but how would the other gems react to her? The older ones, the ones born on Homeworld, they would know what she was. What would they think, knowing one of them had to either make this gem love or hate them in insurmountable amount. Worse, would they just refuse, and let her go feral and insane?

Family: None- Maybe the gems of Beach City?

Other: If this is too headcanon-y, then i can switch to a different character!

Aventurine nodded, Diving down quickly to the floor where the corrupted gem had fallen. She lifted it back up to the surface of the water, with some difficulty.

Jade

She swam carefully behind Aventurine, an eye on the gem in her arms. They at last broke the surface of the water. She glanced around at the gently ways before locating the shore and beginning to swim, making sure the fellow gems were near her



@FoxyIsntAGoodGuy; Onyx is accepted, and I love her backstory, fleshing out the story is awesome

[NaCl]

Topaz swam towards the shore, when she steped onto the sand and ringed out her hair turning back to the gems swimming to the shore.

[☆ marriage maze ☆]

Aventurine swam to the shore, carrying the gem. Once she reached land, she held the gem out to Jade, not quite knowing what to do with it. "S-Should you take this...?" She murmured.

[.lucifer]

((Thank you for accepting! So, as of now, she just washed up on shore. Is anyone on the beach/near where she could be?))

[Kan.]

((Rainbow Pyrite is. Actually, she's sitting alone on the shore. Perfect XD))

"It's ok." Kim said."are you new here? It seems like you are." Kim was to distracted by those guys. Was it a party of some sort?

[.lucifer]

That sounds fine then!)

Onyx's gem shone a little as she was picked up by a gull and dropped onto the sand below, deciding she wasn't something to eat. She felt nothing in her recovery state, sleeping tightly while her gem recovered her form. Her gem, semi transparent, warped the light striking it and reflected it onto the rock face she was near, making the rock look almost as if it was liquid. As her form recovered, the gem became more and more solid, dulling the warped light, until it was a ghost amoung the rocks, but she did not emerge. She needed to feel someone near, so that she had someone to hold her back if she came out feral, a simple saftey measure. But the gems just walked by, and her code left no room for error in these things. She again waited, as she had done for many, many years. A long time she had lain on the ocean floor, rolled here and there by waves, until finally coming to the shore, only to be ignored by the passerby. Now, she only needed thr warmth of someone's living hands to wake her.
