Name:
Paraiba Tourmaline
Appeared Gender:
Male
Appeared Age:
18-22
Gemstone:
Paraiba Tourmaline
Gemstone Location: Right hand
Faction: A crystal gem
Corrupted: No but escaped being corrupted
(If Corrupted) Monster Form: empty if for is i every make it so i can be corrupted(i mean if i decide he would ever get corrupted)
Appearance: There should be a picture but that is just the simple design. He also has a cape that goes to the ground but it’s more of like armor. He also has boots like Peridot and has gloves that are kind of like biker gloves. (if you don’t see the picture please say so somehow)
Personality: A Cautious demeanor and Calm disposition seem to blanket the somewhat intimidating Tourmaline's character, giving him the air of someone who seems somewhat content with his place, this though could not be further from the truth. While generally mellow the Tourmaline gem is prone to bouts of frustration and anger, a short fuse and a coping mechanism of fighting tend to cause sporadic burst of outwards aggression whenever his buttons are pressed, which can cause issues when he trying to remain low profile, additionally he is not one for dishing out humor, although he can take a joke as tactfully as his Calm personality would make you think, because of this other Gems tend to be somewhat guarded around him, not quite sure whether he would let out a hearty laugh or launch one of them into the nearest wall. Usually People think him unstable from the way he acts. He hates when people push him around so much he will poof them, that's another reason why they think him unstable. Some people fear him since he worked for white diamond but that was in the past and he doesn't anymore.
A betrayal in his past has caused him to renounce homeworld and those that align to it, a vested interest in Fusion and fusing cultivating from his new found freedom on earth, although those around him note that his Fusions can be unstable, his mix of almost contradicting traits and quirks make it hard for his personality to meld or combine to others, being framed in his past likely doesn’t help the matter either and makes his own personality rather unyielding when faced with another. (NJ helped me with this well made it the personality.)
Likes/Dislikes:

-homeworld
-being betrayed
-black out
-being poofed
Fears:
being cracked or corrupted and being betrayed again
Weapon: Sharp battle axe that’s big
Ability 1: Can use electricity but after teleportation it drains him. He has to recharge to regain his power back every time he uses it. His powers are more like electricity runs through him and he can’t shoot it but he can touch stuff and the electricity goes to it so it’s kind of useless against other gems but machines and humans and other things it can be fatal.
Ability 2:
He can teleport but only 3 times in 7 ft and if there is stuff in the way he cannot get past it like in jail the jail bars or if the door is closed he can’t teleport out of a house only to the object in his way. when he teleports the 3 times it goes on cool down for 3-4 posts and he can’t use his electricity while in cool down for teleporting. (it drains his power)
Fusions: Has none because he has never fused. It is new to him for white diamond thinks all her/his gems are way too good for fusion
History: He was first an Elite gem from Homeworld. He was meant for helping with technology and fighting. Now all Paraiba tourmalines have electricity powers but this one was special and he could teleport. But the side effect was he couldn't use the full electric powers like other Paraiba’s could. The full power paraibas were like lapis powers but lighting instead of water. But since he has teleporting powers instead his lightning powers are weakened. Because of his special power White diamond picked him for being such stronger with fighting because of the power. He had worked for homeworld for years helping shatter off colors and helps capture planets. Since he was so high in the ranks there was another gem who wanted Paraiba gone. The trial had happened and Paraiba was framed. So, he had to escape so he proofed the zircons to escape. While he was heading towards the ships he found some gems going there. He asked the gems where they were going. They had said to earth to join rose quartz call.
Arcs: He was first angry noble and stuff like that. When he came to earth he had warmed up to it and lost his anger. But he still had anger problems because well yeah. and because of the crystal gems he had started having more trust again to people but because of homeworld he has trust problems.
