Gemstone Location:
On his back
Corrupted:
Nope
Appearance:
Chip is quite small, measuring only 1.52 meters. His is mostly orange, as expected from Fire Opal. He has short, spiky orange hair, that look quite crystal though he rarely show them. Usually he wear a hoodie, that isn't part of his body, to hide his hair and right arm, which is for some reason clad in crystal armor. With his hoodie on he is easily mistaken for human child, which is kinda the point.
Personality:
Formerly Chip was very shy, always afraid around new gems, second guessing himself and everything he was doing. But when he was healed from his injury he become much more energetic and opened. He finally learned that he could find friends among other gems, so his shy nature slowly disappeared as he learned to interact with others.

He is still quite childish and extremely curious, somewhere even to the point of being quite obnoxious. Everything new is exciting for him and there is a lot to explore on planet Earth. He is also quite compassionate when it comes to wild and strayed animals.
He is no longer sheepish around other gems, actually his
self-confidence rose significantly. And even though he learned how to find friends and allies, he still like animals quite a lot, especially his own cat, ser Reginald. Even with all this boost in his self-confidence he still dislike combat, especially with other gems, though he is able and willing to fight corrupted gems. He would never shatter anyone, not even corrupted gem, and it would be really serious, before he would poof any non corrupted gem.
He has some problems with anger management though... if he get's too angry he had problems controlling his fire... he can set things to fire quite easily and by accident at this state. This happens mostly when he talks about peridots... or see peridots... or... well pretty much anything that has to do with peridots...

Weapon:
Chip's weapon is something he is calling a solar lance. It's a... well lance, which is able to shoot fire. But since Chip's control of fire is... questionable at best he rarely use it. It is great for blocking physical attacks and stabbing enemies. (Which he rarely use too, since he hates violence). The weapon is 1.2 meters long.

Ability 1:
Pyrokinesis - Chip is able to summon his fire wings, which enables him to fly. He can also summon and control fire. Especially natural fire, but can also divert magical flame from strait path. Not enough to turn it over, but enough for it to miss him. His range improved since he was healed from 10 meters to 15. Also his powers no longer fluctuate.

Ability 2:
Purifying fire - Chip learned recently, that he can use his fire to heal other gems. It's quite taxing though. The gem he want to heal must be "poofed" and once he heal it, he is drained and can't use his fire powers for quite some time. And even though he is able to heal cracked or chipped gems, he is unable to do anything with corruption. Since it's extremely risky to use this ability in combat he tries it only when he feels safe.

History:
Chip emerged from Kindergarden on Earth, but unfortunately, everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. During his grown his gem was damaged during landslide. Not enough to shatter him completely, but enough to stunt his development. When he finally emerged from the hole, he was much smaller and much weaker then he should be and he was acting quite child like. He was quite far from the perfect gem he should have been. In the eyes of others he was good only for one thing - obliteration. Such imperfection would only shame the Homeworld. Thankfully he was able to escape thanks to his fire wings, but only barely. And since he learned, that he is a "chipped gem" he started to call himself by exactly that - Chip.
This experience taught him not to trust other gems, since they would see him only as a liability at best, and as an affront for Homeworld at worst. He avoided everyone, both rebels and Homeworld gems, because he was unsure of who is who. And given his inexperience he saw little difference in both sides. So even though he desired the company of others, he was too afraid to search them out, since most of his contact were with Homeworld gems, who were... less than enthusiastic to see him. He is still hoping, that he will meet others, that will accept him as he is. Since he was staying out of the conflict so far, he has very little knowledge of both the Homeworld and the Earth, knowing only what he learned by himself. He has no idea about being cut off from Homewold. Not that he would care much.
So he spent most of his time hidden among the humans. With hoodie on he looked human enough to be mostly left alone. He never stayed anywhere for too long. Most people were actually quite friendly to him, but he believed, that it was only because they mistook him for one of them, so he never made any friends. Once, in heavy rain, he met a nice lady, who gave him something she called cookie. And even though he didn't need to eat he found it strangely appealing. This showed him, that people could be quite compassionate, but in his ignorance he still believed, that it was only because she mistook him for human... and so his only friends were the occasional strayed animals, mostly cats.

Game history:
He was eventually found by Smoky Quartz from Morion variant, which took him under as his apprentice. Thanks to him he was able to gather enough self-confidence to finally find some friends. Also, Morion told him about Bloodstone, who was the guardian of a Healing shrine, which helped Chip to become whole again. Since then he became the Eternal Flame, the Rising Phoenix and the guardian of Empire city. It was title granted to him by Morion, who is the lord and protector of Empire city.
