Name: Clear Quartz Facet-1R7J Cut-7XB
Appeared Gender: Hmm..It? Rather androgynous.
Appeared Age:31
Gemstone: Clear Quartz, hexagon cut (aka Rock Crystal)
Gemstone Location: The back of their left hand.
Corrupted:(N)
(If Corrupted)Monster Form: N/A
Appearance:
A textbook-example of what kindergarteners would call an ideal Quartz soldier, 7XB stands at exactly seven and a half feet tall (2.29 m) with a milky, semi-transparent physical body well suited to strenuous physical activity. That is, to say, well-built and muscular, with broad shoulders and a wide, angular face hidden behind a mop of unkempt, khaki-colored hair; additionally concealing one of their vision spheres (eyes), which are stark white, save for their jet-black pupils. 7XB’s attire considers of a gunmetal grey, sleeveless body-suit with a yellow diamond adorning each knee, with an armor pauldron on it's right shoulder, the solid white gem on the back of it's right hand barely discernable from the skin.
Personality: Like all Gems, 7XB emerged with the knowledge of what they were meant to be, a soldier, and takes a certain prideful solace in knowing their place in the Homeworld Caste system, never once questioning their function. Their loyalty to Yellow Diamond is unwavering, stemming from the knowledge that 7XB owes their very existence to Her. To display an dissenting point of view is to label oneself a traitor in this Quartz’s eyes, thus raising their ire. In any endeavour, they possess an almost single-minded obsession with the goal at hand, and there is nothing they would not resort to in order to achieve that goal. The ends justify the means.
Stoic and unyielding at a glance, 7XB displays a cool, respectful demeanor to their superiors, though this attitude does not always extend to their subordinates. Like most Quartz soldiers, 7XB is prone to display an arrogant, superior attitude, though more often than not it is done passive-aggressively. However, when presented with personal issues, or something they don’t understand, they present a testier, less composed side, responding with violence in extreme instances. These rages, while often advantageous in battle, are easily triggered, and are as often a liability to their allies as an asset, much like a raging bull.
Likes:
-Loyalty to their Diamond, and by extension the great Authority.
-In those under their command, unwavering dedication to the mission at hand.
-Resourceful and quick-thinking Gems.
-Interstellar Travel.
-Obedience, whether it be an order given by to his subordinates, or one given by Homeworld superiors.
-And, naturally, punching things..hard.
-Occasionally, jokes, assuming they get them.
Dislikes:
-Organic life and their erratic, unpredictable ways.
-Defects who act outside of their designated purpose.
(These following occur after they arrive on Earth.)
-The recent insurrection on Earth.
-Earth, in it's current, uncolonized state.
-Eating.
Fears:
-This..'corruption’ that has befallen Earth-bound Gems.
Weapon: A elbow-length heavy metal gauntlet, gunmetal grey with short, thick studs on each knuckle, and a bright yellow diamond on the back of the forearm. On command, the alternative form of the weapon can be activated, causing a thick blade of hard, white light, about a foot long, to slide from beneath the yellow diamond decoration on the forearm. When broken, the blades dissipate, leaving only the gauntlet(s). Such a method of combat is well suited to the Quartz, up close and personal.
In addition to all standard Gem abilities, 7XB also possesses other, unique abilities.
Ability 1: Razor Spin Dash. By activating the blades on their gauntlets, 7XB can put their own, sharp spin on the famous Spin Dash used by so many quartzs. With the assistance of their hard light blades, they can slice through most substances in the path of their attack, such as rock and metal. They can only do this for so long, however, before the blades wear out and dissipate, and the time it takes to cut through substances depends on how thick it is, and can cause the blades to wear out quicker, reverting them to a standard spin dash. Unless somehow defender against, it is quite dangerous to Gems, and more than capable of causing great damage to their bodies.
Ability 2: Plasma Bolt. Harnessing the power of their gem, 7XB can materialize a bolt of clear plasma, about the size of a softball, in their left hand for use as a projectile. Burning at about 6000 degrees Kelvin, this bolt is highly dangerous to both organic and inorganic substances, capable of dissolving most matter it comes into contact with, until it burns out that is. It is also, naturally, quite dangerous to Gems, capable of severely injuring them by virtue of its extreme heat. When fired, the bolt flies at approximately 60 mph, though it slowly loses speed and size the farther it has to travel to reach its intended target, and the maximum distance it can realistically travel is 50 yards, though it is much more efficient at close ranges. This ability can be used twice in quick succession before their gem must recharge, though doing so causes 7XB moderate fatigue, and the recharge period takes roughly three hours.
Fusions: N/A
History: A true loyalist, 7XB was grown in the Alpha Kindergarten of an early Gem colony, 7XB’s first 2000 years of existence helped pave the growth of colonies across the home galaxy, chiefly through the protection of work crews at key installations during early stages of colonization. Among their fellow offensively-minded Quartz, they came to stand out. Not for outstanding cleverness or strategy, (though it would be foolish to call the Quartz dull), but because they delivered results, time and time again.
After several centuries of dedicated service off world, the rewards of their loyalty finally came to fruition. In their proudest moment to date, 7XB received a commendation from Yellow Diamond herself and received as a reward what was sure to be an easy assignment: a temporary security posting on some small, Pink Diamond controlled colony called Earth. Though there had recently been some communications issues with the colony, it was expected that construction would ramp up soon and more security would be needed to contend with the native life. As it stands, they are currently aboard a transport in route to the planet. Due to the fairly low urgency of their mission, however, 7XB’s team is being transported by a rather antiquated starship, and it may take them some time to reach the planet.
Character Arcs:
-Originally 7XB will be in route to Earth, some time before Homeworld learns of the rebellion. The trip will take some time, and will serve as more of a solo introduction. They will not arrive until after the truth of the rebellion is known, and will be reassigned to combat it alongside Pink Diamond’s forces.
-And stated above, the character will play a part in the war against the Crystal Gems, and attempt to reclaim and secure key Gem sites. Connections with other Homeworld Gems will hopefully be established, as well as rivalries with certain rebels.
-As the war carries on, 7XB may be shaken in their belief that all rebelling Gems are defective by nature. This belief being shattered, they would struggle to wrap their head around why they would commit treason willingly, and in the name of such an unimportant planet. Nonetheless, their loyalty will remain unshaken, though they would find themselves less sure of their enemy than they thought.
