a sphere of obsidian
name: Obsidian (hates nicknames)
appeared gender: debatable (because of long hair), but refers to self as 'he'
appeared age: young adult
gem: Obsidian
obsidian symbolizes gentleness and being soft-hearted. in 'magical' uses obsidian often allows people 'invisibility'.
appearance: Wears thin pants and tight shoes, his torso is covered by a ragged cloak of sorts that when running or jumping, gives the appearance of wings (though he cannot fly). Where you would expect a symbol of a diamond or a star, his cloak is tattered, suggesting that he prefers not to take sides. Below this cloak he wears sort of a black sweater, with the sleeve on his gem arm ripped.
eye color: Pure black eyes with white pupils
skin color: light grey
hair: shaggy, same black as eyes (kinda like a thick shaggy mullet/mane going down to his lower back)
gemstone: oblong, unfaceted, and black, but with sort of a light emanating from it (as long as it is attached to him), located on right forearm
height: ~6 1/2 foot
weight: ~ 115 lbs
body type: extreme ectomorph
(sorry for big picture) image of Obsidian with scythe weapon
personality
positive: occasionally protective of friends (after running away will go back to save them, too), loyal (as long as none of his fears are present), caring, peaceful
neutral: lonely, full of guilt, constantly apologizing, plays many Earth instruments, conflicted
negative: easily frightened, worries for own safety when frightened, multiphobic, very submissive to any superiors, constantly looking at the dark side of things, cowardly, still mourns for Agate
likes / dislikes
likes: punk rock music, nonviolence, bugs (despite being multiphobic)
dislikes: monsters, fire, deep water, thunder, heights, rejection, being alone, being with people, open spaces, closed spaces
fears: Obsidian is multiphobic, but his major fear is breaking his gemstone like his sister Agate did
abilities: Can summon his scythe from his gem, very fast (good at running away), strong under pressure, can't shapeshift (probably because he's afraid to?)
weapon: An all-black scythe, with a long two hand handle and long curved blade. Razor sharp, that can cut through most objects (like the weapons of most Gems). Rarely summons it because he usually depends on his invisibility to escape danger, and because he greatly disapproves of combat. Its a heavy weapon that requires alot of swinging, so he usually won't summon the 5 foot blade. When he uses it, he uses smooth, slow, sweeping motions, like he's hewing down plants.

unique ability: Invisibility
Obsidian can and will frequently become invisible to nearly all forms of detection, however some animals can detect Obsidian by scent. The power does not extend to touch, and making contact with Obsidian while he is invisible will normally reverse the effects and make him reappear. Also, others who possess this power can see him while he is invisible. His incredible power is usually triggered accidentally by his sudden bouts of terror or fear. He can attack while invisible, yet he normally runs away while unseen. He can, in theory, use this ability indefinitely, but finds it extremely difficult when not in danger. He can extend this ability to others, living or nonliving, normally whoever he is touching or whoever touches his gem. When he is destroyed and reduced to nothing but his gem, his power can be activated by squeezing the stone.
fusions: He used to have a fusion with Agate called 'Chalcedony'. not much is known about this fusion, besides the fact that it had great powers of illusion. Possibly as a result of Agate's demise Obsidian hates fusion. On the rare instance that he does fuse, his dancing involved alot of headbanging, hairwhips, and air guitar. However, he is embarrassed by this and will sometimes stop mid-fusion if too many people are watching him. Fusing with him occasionally gives the result invisibility and speed or height. The fusion weapon would normally contain the long curved blade of the scythe.
Corrupted: no, unknown if he is infected, either.
Monster form: assumingly Obsidian would end up like his sister, who became the Invisible Gem Monster, only much faster and more deadly.
History: Because of his invisibility he was prized among the Great Diamond Authority as a spy, and during the first conflicts of the third civil war, he was sent to the enemy planet along with his sister Agate (who shared his powers) to spy on rebels. Agate was not as fearful as Obsidian, and saved his brother's life when they were captured by the rebel leader. But then Agate's gemstone was cracked by a rebel, and Agate became the Invisible Gem Monster. Obsidian ran from battle in terror, leaving his Corrupted sister behind.
Since then, Obsidian's intense fears could be linked to the demise of his sister. He is still afraid of the rebels, but sides with them (most of the time).
He has been hiding out on different planets, afraid of being executed for abandoning the army. In fact, most of the other rebels believe he sides with them only because he's least likely to be killed by them. He eventually came to Earth (crash-landing), and has been sneaking about invisible around the Temple. He has not yet revealed himself to the other Gems,which
NOTE: Agate often symbolizes protection, calming, and courage, traits also seen in obsidian. Yet when Agate was corrupted, those three traits seemingly vanished from Obsidian's personality.
NOTE 2: The only gem that possibly knows of Obsidian's presence in the temple is Halite, seeing as that she is an authority figure and leader. Even if Halite knows of Obsidian's presence, it is highly unlikely that she would bother with him, seeing as that he was last known to be taking orders from the Diamonds.
