Name:
Agate
Appeared Gender:
Male
Appeared Age:
16
Gemstone:
Blue Agate
Gemstone Location:
Back, between shoulder blades
Corrupted:
No
Monster Form:
N/A
Appearance:
Agate stands at about 4'8'', short dark blue hair, and his main color pallet consisting of a dark blue, sky blue, and a almost purple-ish blue. His 'skin' is a normal blue (not dark or light). Agate's eyes are sky blue, though his pupils constantly change size as he focuses on things.
Agate's look resembles a flat vest (dark blue) and a dress shirt (sky blue). Agate also wears what resemble dress pants (purple-ish blue) and shoes. As well he often has a pair of white gloves with silver trimmings and a bowler hat (dark blue). His gloves are worn specifically to prevent physical contact, therefore blocking his secondary ability through his hands at least.

Personality:
Agate is a very friendly gem, due to his aura (explained below) Agate is almost never angry or upset with people. He has a very positive outlook on all subjects and is quick to try to get others to see the bright side of things. Agate acts more human than gem, often enjoying food and wearing human clothing. Although Agate doesn't understand human culture and often gets references wrong. As well Agate doesn't understand clothing sizes and often just wears whatever he likes the look of, even if it's a few sizes too big/small.
Agate isn't particularly smart, he generally takes things at face value. Sure TVs and the warp pad are cool, but he has no idea what really makes them work. They just... do. Nor does Agate really care to find out what makes something tick, more just the discovery that new things exist. Agate can be excitable and quick to change his attention to a new object or subject. In fact, Agate often acts like a kid; he doesn't know much about the world and spends his time devouring whatever new information he can get his hands on.
(Edit) Despite becoming more experienced with gems and humans Agate is still rather naive, trusting that most people he meets have good intentions. Of course now he has learned that it is possible to be deeply hurt by someone, and is on constant watch to make sure something like that never happens to him or another gem. As one would think he is still a very outwardly friendly gem, although since first forming he certainly has grown a bit more of a responsible side.
Likes: Humans, other gems, any weather/time (each is special and has value), food, helping other gems be happy.
Dislikes: Conflict, others feeling sad or angry, physical/mental harm to himself or others in any way.
Fears: The death/shattering of others, being corrupted, being alone, tight spaces, being unable to help others.
Weapon: Agate's weapon is a short bow with a simple design. The bow is light-blue with a dark-blue grip and curled tips at the top and bottom of the bow. Much like Opal the bow creates arrows just by the string being pulled back.
(Edit) With training and time Agate has discarded his metal rapier, now knowing how to change the form of his weapon to that of a hard light version. The rapier itself is a fairly simple design, similar to his bow. (Depicted above)
Ability 1: Agate's main ability is his extreme eyesight. Agate has perfect vision, able to see things much farther away from others. (Edit) This ability has gifted Agate incredible accuracy in most situations, and an almost 'bullet time' slow-mo effect when he focuses on a particular shot. This has no real effect aside from Agate being able to make difficult shots (e.x. firing while mid-air) that others *might* not be able to do.
Ability 2: Agate's secondary ability is more passive. Agate has an 'aura of positivity' as he puts it. Agate and people around him (gems or otherwise) often feel more optimistic and cheery. This isn't a strong aura, and can easily be ignored by gems (and to some extent humans.) The strength of this increases with physical contact, but this usually requires the gem's/person's consent for the full effect.
(Edit) Whenever Agate is especially angry (a very rare thing for him) his power turns more into a debilitating aura that disrupts others around him. The feeling is akin to that of static or white noise flooding one's mind, making it difficult to act (instead of the positive and empowering field he carries otherwise.) As with above, physical contact amplifies this ability greatly. A physical touch is akin to that of a mental taser, and is more difficult to ignore (akin to that of an attack.) Of course the effect mostly only lasts during contact, so upon breaking contact the feeling would fade away. Prolonged contact can leave a gem overwhelmed for a short while, and in extreme cases (as in perhaps even minutes of contact) could poof a gem.
Fusions: N/A
History:
Agate (being related to quartz stones) was made in the kindergarten rather late in the timeline. Agate formed too far underground and was stuck for a while in the darkness. It wasn't until later, when the kindergarten was disabled and mostly avoided did Agate emerge. Agate spent the first week alone, not leaving his hole. For the longest time he tried burrowing out but once he had done so he was afraid to enter the outside world. It seemed so big and scary, like he would become lost if he stepped outside his hole.
Then one night Agate saw a corrupted gem prowling around the kindergarten. The following morning Agate left and began to wander around, looking for an exit to get away from whatever he had seen last night. The kindergarten seemed to go on forever, massive winding ravines pocketed with holes and weird machines. After a day or two of traveling Agate found a warp pad, but had no idea how to operate it. He spent at least half a week trying to find out how the weird pad made of crystal worked. However it eventually clicked with Agate. His gem had always felt strange when he stepped on the pad but he ignored it, assuming it was normal. One day, as he was close to giving up, Agate focused on the feeling in his gem and when he opened his eyes found himself in a completely new place.
Agate spent the next few months warping around at random, exploring the world as he wished. During these travels Agate discovered humans and fell in love with their culture. Agate began his habits of stealing and enjoying human clothing and food. However Agate would always return to the kindergarten at the end of the day and set up his own little home, decorated with nick-knacks he collected. Agate had still not met another gem, assuming he was alone. Agate assumed maybe he was the last of his kind (as with the amount of holes, he certainly wasn't the only one to begin with.) Perhaps he was all that was left, and humans were the new dominant species.
It wasn't until now that Agate had ran into another Gem, and at last Agate was not alone. Agate could find friends.
Character Arcs:
Agate's arc is going to begin with learning about gem culture and integrating into their society, making friends, etc. (Done)
Agate will need to learn how to summon his weapon, deal with corrupted gems, and how to fit in with other gems, as he feels more like a human than a gem. (Done)
Agate will also probably be hurt by another gem, mentally or physically, and will go through some emotional changes because of this. (Possibly even changing his second power to an aura of negativity) (Done)
Agate will have to deal with the aftermath of being hurt and how to properly deal with negative emotions he never really lived with.
