Name: Owyhee Jasper aka (Demetry)
Appeared Gender: appears to male
Appeared Age:
He appears to be somewhere in his mid to early twenties.
Gemstone: Quartz based Jasper, subcategory Owyhee
Gemstone Location:
His gem is located center mass atop his sternum. Often exposed to the world in a V-cut light suit with scarf and slim open faced jacket atop.
Corrupted: Not in the slightest
Appearance:
Demetry is a handsome gem with a soft spoken allure about him. He carries himself with dignity and respect. He wears a collar with three luminous gems around his neck. Clearly manmade, this collar is accompanied by a red scarf and a light jacket that is open faced and long sleeved. His light suit has a deep V at the neck exposing his gem for all to see. The gem is worn and frayed as if this gem has seen countless battles. He has two blue jay feathers perched behind his ear. He stands at roughly 7'3'', relatively mid height for a Jasper and has a build made for strength and lithe.
Demetry moves in such a manner that he is clearly a confident and strong gem. But, besides these unconscious motions in no way does he flaunt his power in any other way. His eyes are kind and open. A vibrant blue that pierce forward with a un-explainable warmth. His voice is rugged with a slight rasp. He speaks with slight Australian accent; but, it is clearly only vocally as he has no native vernacular to pair it with.
Personality:
Demetry treats all gem's especially his lady Tabitha (A Musgravite) with respect and dignity. Even in the face of an enemy he remains calm and collected. He can be seen as mechanical at times as he does things for others without thanks as long as they don't endanger his lady. Demetry can be easily described as accidentally sultry. His kindness often can come off as romantic, and his quite nature makes him mysterious. He is quick witted and when he chooses to be quite playful. However, to those he is wary of he is simply stoic. He never allows his rage to guide his actions, and for that reason his temperment can be seen as a placid lake.
Likes/Dislikes:
+ His Lady Tabitha
+ Serving a Purpose
+ Duels
+ Insects and Fish
+ Ballet, and Opera's
- Disrespect
- Killing for the sake of Killing
- Boisterous Loud Mouths
- Centipedes
Fears:
The thing Demetry fears most is breaking before his Lady Tabitha. Homeworld had given her free range to operate on Earth; however she is impetuous and young. He knows the Diamonds simply placate her whims simply because of her rarity. However, they don't put much stock in keeping her safe when it interferes with Homeworld ambition. Truly what Demetry fears above all is the silence that would come without her. He isn't in love with her by any means... she is as the humans would call... family.
Weapon:
Demetry's weapon is dagger. A rather small easily wielded weapon. The dagger is easily thrown or wielded in melee. It is ornate and bears some resemblance to aboriginal artistry. The dagger is bright enough it is clearly not used for subversion or sneak tactics and is always brandished openly. True for some smaller gems the dagger is the equivalent of a short sword; but, to Demety it is small.
Ability 1:
Demetry's 1st ability is that he can create a small front facing, half sphere, light shield for two posts. The light shield does not obscure vision and is clearly visible to the naked eye. It can be brought out only three times a day and is very strong. He must hold position with both palms flat against it's interior in order to maintain it. This shield can stop most attacks from piercing through; however... a consistent volley from more than one gem will likely shatter it. This includes Fusions.
Ability 2:
Demetry's second ability is that he can curl up into a spin attack like other jaspers; except it is far more powerful then what a normal Jasper could produce. The kinetic force created actually cuts the air into a chitter of snapping sounds like tiny insects. The spin attack can move in a forward or arched fashion and deals significant damage. This ability can only be used once every five posts and is very brutal if it makes contact.
History:
Born on a long dead planet colonized by Homeworld Demetry was one of a few gem experiments. Peridote based gems under the science division sought to make more uniquely qualified Jaspers for individual tasks. Demetry's design.... to be a loyal obedient guard for high level gems. Needless to say they succeeded, mostly. Demetry still had free will; however, he was raised and trained up at the academy. Homeworld logic forced into him till it was second nature. This of course was never seen as a bad thing by Demetry. Rather he enjoyed being needed. He enjoyed excelling.
Demetry was top in his class in many facets. He was considered a cold calculating brawler by his highers. They gauged his potential in practical examination and found he worked best when presented with singular challenges. Demetry cooperated quite fine in a unit; but, there were no other gems like him to fuse with and other Jaspers only seemed to hinder him with their aggressive nature. In some ways they found if he were to fuse he was better suited to fuse with a Peridot or another intelligent gem to supplement their weaknesses. This was because his attitude was submissive to others despite his physical prowess.
Demetry would one day be presented with gems of many cuts, facets, and types. All of them were smart and physically strong. It was almost as if they were in a jewlery case waiting to be picked for some reason or another. After a long time a small innocent looking grey gem with rainbow hue'd eyes entered the room with handlers and seemed to study the line up. She didn't seem happy at all with what she was presented and asked tentatively if they could all be dismissed. The line up roared out demanding a second chance or to speak to the gem. Clearly Demetry didn't know what this gems worth was to Homeworld and as he was about to fallow suit he paused looking to the timid scared gem. He turned to the line up demanding silence. He said let us leave with dignity, she is not ready to pick one of us.
The small grey gem blinked and smiled. She would leave with her handlers and an enraged group of gems left. Demetry would sadly get in a fight with one of them later for his supposed arrogance. It was roughly 20 years later Demetry was summoned again; but, this time he was alone. The small grey gem approached him asking him to kneel. Slowly this small frail thing began to touch his face and pull on his eyelids. "What... what are you doing?" he asked.
She just smiled and giggled. She would study him thoroughly and when finished she simply said "Thank you." she would take his hand and lead him into the next room where she dismissed her handlers. Demetry would then be presented too his Diamond... Yellow Diamond. The small girl and Yellow Diamond spoke almost on equal terms. Apparently even before coming here it was decided Demetry would act as this small Musgravite's personal guard. She would be sent to Earth at her own request to watch it develop and learn about gem production.
For years Demetry stood at the Musgravites side defending her against all manner of ilck. He watched the other gems do their work. Rubies, Pyrites, Jaspers, Peridots... a mass of many gems tunneling into the planet and destroying it slowly for future gems. It was... disturbing; but, Demetry didn't let it bother him. His lady Tabitha, the Musgravite, adopted individuality and acted much as a rare gem would. She helped wherever and whenever she could. As the seeds of rebels began to grow she acted confident that no war among gems would happen... and if it did it would be snuff'd out like a flame.
Then one day while on duty Lady Tabitha demanded to be escorted off site. Demetry did as asked and when they were safely away he was dismissed forever. Confused he begged to know why. Lady Tabitha simply informed him she was an informant for those who apposed the Diamonds... that she has sided against the Diamonds and openly believes in the will of those rebels. Stunned Demetry knelt before her and took his dagger out. "Then milady... strike me down... if I am unneeded then I wish not be. I serve you.. please... destroy me. Show me this determination if I cannot accompany."
Lady Tabitha was shocked and silently cried in her heart. She laid a soft hand on Demetry and began to touch his face and pull on his eyelids. She smiled and spoke, "My silly gem... my sweet Demetry... you are a fool that deserved more than what Homeworld gave you... come with me... be my friend in what comes next." Demetry paused and asked what came next. She simply replied "I don't know... is it not amazing."
For two years Demetry traveled with Tabitha and made sure she was safe. After some time he even adopted his own unique name. Truthfully Tabitha was a master of tongues and most actually didn't know she had betrayed Homeworld. Nor did she outwardly support those who apposed the Gems. this continued for two years... but, it won't be long till some highers cast a glance Demetry and Tabitha's way and they will be brandished traitors. True they likely won't kill a Musgravite... her potential is to great. But.... but Demetry would be broken.
Ever the diplomat, Tabitha acted as if the kindergarten was a huge loss and rallied the homeworlders as she could. She looked to be playing both sides to the unknowing. But, Demetry knew where her heart lied. He was her brother now... and while she played this dangerous game he would protect her. Even when the planet was put on lock down and corrupted gems emerged... Demetry cut the corruption and let Tabitha figure out the rest.
Character Arcs:
Demetry will learn to operate beyond Tabitha and Homeworlds teachings. He will become his own gem, yet still loyal to Tabitha. He will one day not have to be by her side at all times and fall in love with another gem.
