Name: Musgravite (aka Tabitha)
Appeared Gender: appears to be female
Appeared Age:
He appears to be somewhere in her early to late teens
Gemstone: Musgravite (A exceptionally rare gem, almost as rare as a diamond)
Gemstone Location:
Her gem is located atop the small of her back. It is rarely if ever exposed on the insistence of Demetry; her personal guard.
Corrupted: Not in the slightest
Appearance:
Tabitha is a young looking gem. Unlike most gems her light form is especially articulated. Her body projection wears demure aristocratic clothes from a time long past. With her porcelain white skin tone and blackish grey heair she almost looks like a beautiful porcelain doll. She stands at 4'3'' and weighs next to nothing. Her eyes are a ever shifting rainbow maelstrom that cascades like the aurora borealis. Her voice is serene and mature. She speaks like a woman beyond her visual age.
Tabitha's smile could be described as enchanting. Her beauty is something beyond reproach as her gem type, cut, and facet makes her almost the perfect specimen. Most gems would instantly know of her standing at a glance and know as far as gem society goes she is considered a upper tier gem. She is usually seen hand in hand with Demetry a Jasper subtype.
Personality:
Tabitha's personality is sweet and reserved. Ever the little lady she approaches life with a sincerity and kindness that is ever so charming. Her attitude does occasionally take on a more regal authority when dealing with matters she considers important. Her eyes will often express tonal shifts in those cases. She is respectable and never lies to those she considers morally similar. Truth be told she is deceitful and a strategist. A chess player like spirit consumes this gem and she will see her goals met. Currently without a game... but, eager to find her place on the board.
Likes/Dislikes:
+ Her guard Demetry
+ Humans
+ Dresses
+ Tea and Flower Arrangement
+ Ballet, and Opera's
- Poverty
- Killing for the sake of Killing
- Those who act without understanding
- Blind Obligations
Fears:
Tabitha fears getting Demetry broken for her idealism's. She fears a universe usurped by the diamonds. She fears the diamonds lofty ambitions and where they may take them. She fears for the people of the gem homeworld, and the homeworlds of none gem species. She fears the war on the horizon... she fears for all gems.
Weapon:
Tabitha's gem weapon is four small orbs with triangular cuts in them. They float about her person as if their own entities. They have no blades or offensive capabilities what so ever outside of pure bashing force. They can cause damage; however, she is not a physically inclined gem so they are solely relied on for defense. They are durable and able to catch bladed gem weapons in the cuts with ease.
Ability 1:
Tabitha's first ability is called Enthala's Vigor. This ability can be used only once per thread (Yes I said that right... once.. per thread) Enthala's Vigor can affect only those gems within a five foot radius of her. This ability takes two posts to finish and if interrupted the ability fails and cannot be attempted again for the entirety of the thread. Enthala's Vigor is what makes Tabitha a never break target to homeworld. She will sooner be captured then broken for it's effect. Enthala's Vigor in a way allows a gem to go beyond there normal limitations. The ability is like a shot of adrenaline for gems and even if on the verge of defeat will give them a second wind to act for three rounds. This ability isn't like the drug inducement of adrenaline however and is more of a spiritual enhancement. Vigor and confidence course through the target allowing for actual physical ability. The gem is no stronger than they were before... However, for thoose 3 posts function as if undamaged... and highly motivated. This ability requires no verbal or physical movement. However, if Tabitha is moved or struck enough to move... the effect fails.
Mechanically the break down is as the following
once per thread, Musgravite may focus for 2 whole posts. Once finished any nearby gems ((within 5 feet)) will regain all expended energy over the course of the thread. Superfluous wounds i.e. ((small cracks, cuts, scrapes)) are mended, and large wounds normally requiring gem'ing to heal are un-felt like a Superfluous wound. These wounds still exists; however, so if a gem is missing it's leg that leg is still gone. However, NOTE: the missing limb would be replaced by a temporary light construct resembling the original limb in all aspects. The effects of this ability last for three posts then the gem returns to feeling all damage as it would normally apply. Also, all light based constructs that temporarily mended or replaced non-superfluous wound disappear. A all ready gem'd gem gains no benefit from this ability
Ability 2:
Mental Linking is Tabitha's next ability. She can mentally link any number of gems within visual range. This link allows for shared visuals and thought's; but, not audio. If focused on one individual Tabitha will not have to be able to see the gem to maintain the link. This ability requires more focus, the more participants and hampers focus of all participants to a degree. On a singular level this ability could act as a long range communication tool; but not long enough to reach Homeworld or any outlying gem colonies.
History:
Born on Homeworld's second colony ever constructed Tabitha is one of the oldest gems. She is so considerably rare that their is an official sanction for no gem to ever break her. She is to be bubbled if ever found to be a betrayer to the Diamond Authority. This sanction is just a mere formality as, as far as the Diamonds and homeworld is concerned she is a loyalist. Though admittedly this is far from the truth; but, I digress.
Born early in gem history Tabitha was always treated better than other gems. Brought up to believe herself better she often considered other gems her's to order. Which for all purposes outside of the diamonds and those given absolute authority she was right. Untrusting of unfamiliar gems Tabitha only truly related to her pearl and jade retainers. Most her life was viewed from a sequestered location; however, she would be sent to troubled worlds on rare occasion for her substantial ability.
It was on these tasks she saw a world beyond homeworld and slowly came to realize more. Other worlds were brought to their ends by gems and gems didn't seem to care. And, for all her pomp and flare... a spoiled runt like herself was viewed as perfect without reason. No one, not a single gem knew her... yet she was seen in a light that she did not cast. She hated that... hated not being respected for who she really was and she lashed out in childlike frustration.
Over time on these tasks she matured and learned what it meant to be herself. She read philosophy books, tomes, and scrolls from other worlds. She expanded into poetry, anthropology, sociology, and psychology. She was allowed free reign when not on a task and all was deemed acceptable as it made her a better socialite. Truth is that these written texts affected Tabitha so much she soon evolved from a spoiled runt to a demure aristocrat.
Tabitha was the apple in the eyes of the Diamonds and often used for her ability to sway a room in her favor. A true tool of highest quality Tabitha became recognized for her own talents. Her tiny tantrum soooo very long ago she was humbled by how far she came. However, Tabitha was still truly shamed by what gems did to survive. She understood the purpose of colonization and never argue'd it's function, that is till colonization continued beyond it's means.
As worlds were destroyed simply for rapid expansion and more power, Tabitha began to question the Diamond Authority. She wore a mask in life so none would know; but, she was wholly disgusted. The aristocratic life... the balls... the attempts to sway those to the Diamonds ways left her in a vomit enducing state. She was forced to evolve again.
It was around this time... she met a up and coming trainee named Owhyee Jasper. Colony after colony had came to pass and Tabitha had accumulated so many retainers. But, she was soon to embark on a new chapter in her life. The Diamonds fully trusting of her wisdom deemed it that Tabitha would be allowed free reign in all gem colonies to do as /she/ wishes. Now for the first time she could act against what she had feigned for years. She could secretly aid those whom oppose the Diamonds.
There was one issue however... the Diamonds did not allow her request to go without retainers and demanded she take one with her that can fight. But, Tabitha knew her retainers were mindless.... they blindly obliged her and they would only interfere with her aims. So line up after line up were put on show for her in disgusting fashion. Endless warriors clamoring for her hand like dogs for scraps. Blind... obedient mutts to the Diamonds. But, one day a interesting gem was shown to her. One who though loyal acted as he saw fit. Tabitha actually took a liking to this gem.... but, he was not ready. So Tabitha decided to watch him.
This Jasper was kind and silent. He moved as needed and seemed to look beyond his orders. A proficient gem in all areas except individuality. He was smart... but, a fool. It was strange how she was drawn to him; because, she knew he wasn't perfect for her desired task. After some time Tabitha took him as a retainer... a guard if you will and moved forward with her goals.
Tabitha traveled to a new colony called Earth. It was there she oversaw gem production as an outsider. She was kind and improved moral just by her mere presence. She would use her ability to enhance the mental capacity of Peridot like gems so advancement could be made for all gem kind. To all she was the perfect lady in the service of the Diamond Authority. But, the truth was she was a silent.... unknown informant to thoose who opposed the authority. She tipped them off freely so they could advance their aims... and was one of the main contributors to why the kindergarten failed.
On the day the kindergarten failed she finally told her retainer the truth and rather than fleeing... he decided to stay with her. Sadly she all ready foresaw this outcome.... but, she wanted to see him make this choice. She wanted to see the personality he had developed blossom. He was so good to her.
In the years to come there was a outbreak of entities known as the corruption. Demetry as he came to call himself acted as her arm and Tabitha continued to play both sides of this little conflict. One day she will be found out and on that day she expects to be bubbled and Demetry broken. But, for now... she savors her time with her retainer... and her time making a true difference.
