QUICK DISCLAIMER! A visual representation of him will appear sometime in the future, when it happens I well edit the post accordingly.
Name: Titanite
Appeared Gender: Male
Appeared Age: 21-ish
Gemstone: Titanite
Gemstone Location: Lower Back
Faction: Crystal Gems
Corrupted: No.
Appearance: Stands at around 5’7. However, he has quite bad posture and typically carries a wide stance, especially in combat, so in most cases he will appear to be 5’5. Titanite has a rather slender body type, giving him a rather frail appearance in contrast to his surprising strength. His hair is quite unkempt, though it isn’t particularly long, barely reaching his shoulders and somewhat covering his eyes. The colour of his hair is of a deep pine green, with it becoming more of a lighter shade of said green as it reaches the top of his head. His eyes are somewhat slanted, with the irises being of a mint green colour. The colour of the right eye however is of a slightly lighter shade than the left eye. The colour of his skin is quite similar to that of his hair, though being a much lighter shade. This skin colour darkens in the area around his forearms and hands as well as the area around his calves and feet. His body also has various markings, under his right eye is what looks like a faded grey triangle, the shape of which is quite thin but reaches down to about his chin. This colouration is seen again within his other markings, some of which being marks that envelop the ring finger and index finger on both hands as well as a thin outline of where his gemstone is located. In contrast to this, a light grey marking, almost of a white colour, resembling a leafy vine is present on his right arm, starting at the wrist and extending up to his shoulder in a spiral pattern of sorts, giving the impression of a vine wrapped around his arm. His clothing consists of a ninjutsu gi, however the top fits very snugly with the sleeves being practically non-existant. The bottoms on the other hand are incredibly loose fitting, except around the waist to ensure they don’t fall down. The coloration of it is largely consistent, staying with the gray colour similar to his markings, however, the interior straps are of a white colour as well as the bottom of each leg of his pants.
Personality: Titanite is, well, a bit erratic to say the least. In most situations, Titanite is rather socially inept and will often times stumble around his sentences when talking to someone unfamiliar to him. However, around those he considers friends he is actually quite chatty and shows quite a degree of loyalty and respect towards them. Friends are a bit tough for him to come across however due to his rather reclusive nature, in many situations he’d rather be perched high up in a tree rather than talking to others, so in most cases people will have to approach him unless of course they pique his interest. If the need arises however, he will make an effort to meet new people, though it won't exactly be the most well planned or well executed attempt due to his social ineptness. His personality changes quite drastically when combat is called for, his weird socially awkward demeanour is cast aside in favour of a more serious and incredibly focused visage. If anyone or anything poses a threat to him or anything he cares for he enters this emotional state and doesn’t break out of it until his target has been poofed, or even shattered, assuming of course a gem is the target. Titanite also has quite low self-esteem and will often enter a seemingly depressed state if he’s ever to mess anything up, which is why he always tries his hardest in everything he does. He feels he needs to prove to others that he’s worthy of their respect. Otherwise, he’s just a socially awkward weirdo who although he doesn’t want to admit it, very much likes the idea of friends.

Weapon:
A Wakizashi.
As opposed to being used for direct offence, Titanite makes use of this weapon to suit a much more patient, and cautious style of fighting. Instead of attacking directly, Titanite primarily uses this weapon to deflect enemy strikes and counterattack accordingly until gaining sight of a weakness and swiftly ending the fight by striking said weakness. This in turn makes stealth attacks made by him very effective due to his compact size and the light weight of his weapon, allowing him to effectively analyse an opponents weaknesses from a distance before moving in to strike. There are certain things his fighting style has difficulty coping with however, when facing gems that are physically larger than him by a large margin, such as a strong gem fusion or a large quartz soldier, he finds it rather difficult to deflect their attacks due to the force they apply with their attacks as well as intimidation carrying some weight, due to him knowing how strong these gems are. Another weakness to this is opponents that make use of weapons that utilize martial arts or physical fighting, such as Gauntlets or Knuckles. This is largely because he specialises in dealing with opponents who wield melee weapons such as swords and axes as well as ranged fighters. Against opponents who use martial arts he has an incredibly hard time blocking and even dodging their attacks, often relying upon his aerokinetic abilities to fight against them. Extrasensory perceptions like his own also completely rule out any potential sneak attacks he might attempt to utilise.
Ability 1: Aerokinesis. This ability allows him to utilize an expert control of the air around him. In most cases, he uses this for mobility purposes as well as manipulating currents of wind to block incoming projectiles. He rarely ever uses this ability for direct offense, only ever using it to occasionally blow away or knock down opponents. However, if his emotions are to get out of hand, such as a sudden rise in either anger or sadness, his control over this heightens and he will use it significantly more often. Effectively switching his style of fighting from analytical and patient, to aggressive and unrelenting. If his emotions are to get out of hand like this, he will create frequent fast moving currents of air to throw his opponents around as well as whirlwinds and even compressing air at certain points to create “blades” of air to cut through their forms. However, this Aerokinesis is fuelled by an energy source contained within his gem. When he’s calm, he never exhausts this supply of energy during combat due to his sparing usage of it, in fact it’s only when it is used for large scale assaults it is ever exhausted. …Much like when his emotions get out of hand. These emotionally fuelled onslaughts will only last for around a minute before this energy is fully depleted and he will be unable to use it for a period of time. Running out of this energy also seems to physically exhaust him and oftentimes costs him victory in battle. Heavier opponents are also very difficult to affect with this ability.
Ability 2: A keen Extrasensory Perception. This allows him to sense even the subtlest of movements in a radius of around 12 metres around him, effectively preventing close ranged sneak attacks and aiding him in blocking or deflecting unseen projectiles using his Aerokinesis. This can also be used to further predict the movements of his opponents in order to effectively give him additional time to identify weaknesses and strike accordingly. However, in times of emotional turmoil, such as a sporadic outburst of sadness or anger, this ESP is practically useless as his focus will be rather ‘shaky’ and as such, any opponent that can attack him emotionally can greatly dampen his precision in battle and give themselves a tactical edge.
Fusions: None as of yet.
History: Titanite was created in a kindergarten in a remote area in the snowy wastes of Antarctica. Though only a small handful of Titanite gems were created, he was the only one that came out wrong. Unlike his brethren, who were physically large and imposing with powerful weapons such as Warhammers and Greataxes, he was significantly smaller and of course did not have a physically imposing weapon. At first, he wasn’t deemed capable of serving his purpose as a personal bodyguard. However, after an attempt to shatter him seeing as he was deemed defective, it was discovered that he was well more than capable of defending the gems he was assigned to after he had poofed the gems attempting to carry this out. After a few years, he was finally assigned a gem to protect. Despite having found his purpose against all odds, Titanite was not happy. No matter how he tried to convince himself, it just didn’t feel right. It was already clear that his loyalties with his superiors was fading, and he wasn’t going to idly sit by and allow this to continue. Many more years passed, and he found himself desperate to escape. Though he was on good terms with the gem he was guarding, he had found himself enamoured by the earth. The life that resided upon it seemed incredibly interesting, and the landscapes were unlike anything he could ever had hoped to see. Eventually, he left. Taking with him only a basic transmission device, in case anything important from the communication hubs was to arise. From then on he spent every waking moment travelling around the globe, taking all the time he needed to explore every ounce of this planet’s surface, familiarizing himself with anything and everything he came across. His intended purpose meant nothing to him anymore, he was well more than willing to give up everything he was supposed to be just to live peacefully on this world, to live amongst nature and watch as life around him would arise and fall. It was, calming. But something always lingered in the back of his mind, he had the feeling that what his kind were doing to this planet was wrong. He hated how destructive their ways were to this planets environment. He knew something had to be done, but he had no idea how he could make a difference. That was until, a transmission on his surprisingly intact transmission device caught his attention. A rebellion was forming, and he knew this was his opportunity to defend this planet. He immediately spent his time seeking out other gems that were a part of this rebellion, his time to defend the planet he loved so had finally arisen and from then on he decided to defend this planet alongside the newly formed Crystal Gem rebellion, regardless of whether or not it would cost him his life.
Character Arcs;
-Titanite, having recently joined the Crystal Gems makes some rather terrible attempts to make at least one friend.
-He encounters a particularly frightening corrupted gem, and almost loses his life due to his fears.
-His emotions lose control for the first time in a while and almost hurts one of his friends.
-He experiences fusion for the very first time, however due to the seemingly unstable mix of emotions in his being, the fusion isn’t particularly stable.
-He begins to gain more control over his emotions and his fear of corrupted gems, while both still linger he somewhat moves beyond them.
