  • [size=16pt]W[/size]elcome - We are the crystal gems.
    Many years ago, a war was fought on this planet, between a group of rebels and their home world for the future of this planet know as earth. It was a long conflict, many gems were shattered in the conflict on both sides. In the end, the rebels one, but at a large cost.
    Now the remnants of the rebel cause, the crystal gems, are limited in numbers, but still committed to their mission of protecting earth.
    They now in this modern day hold up in a small on the crystal clear ocean front of a small island chain off the coast of the main land. The temple takes the shape of a simple small wooden house protruding out of the dark cliff side as it looks out onto the ocean as the days go by, the cliff weathered, and the remnants of the old temple, a statue weathered and aged. But the place is home to the crystal gems, home to us.
    It is like this that this story of the crystal gems begins, a new chapter in a different book, the first chapter. New threats, new adventures, new gems. Let's begin, shall we?

    [align=center][font=trebuchet ms][size=16pt]W[/size]hat's going on here? - The explanation.
    We, are the crystal gems. We're still alive, and we're still the guardians of this planet. At least those of us that are left. Which isn't really that many in the grand scheme of things. We used to be led by a gem by the name of Rose Quartz, but at some point during the conflict she was... lost. Or maybe shattered. Really none of us are quite sure. But her memories live on in every one of us, and the memories of the other gems that fought along side us.
    After we lost Rose a different gem took command, another quartz, a valiant warrior and a gem that shared her spirit and love of all things on earth. This gem was called Sunset Quartz, and she was able to bring us together, and make our little group somewhat whole again. It felt almost a hollow victory really, losing Rose, most of our friends, our companions, either shattered in the conflict or corrupted somewhere along the way. Sunset Quartz helped us remember what we had fought for, and how astounding this planet was, and how much it deserved to be protected.
    Years past, well actually thousands of years really, and we kept our vigil on our little island under the watch of Sunset quartz. Over the years, humans had moved in and made a little town that had the name city thrown in to make it seem a little bigger, and somewhere along the lines, more recently actually, Sunset quartz met a human who... Piqued her interests. More so than any others that we had encountered over the centuries we were here. He was a nice enough little human, that Ben, maybe a bit of a dreamer ((He was an artist, and she was his muse)), but that could have been why she liked him so much. And as they got to know each other she cam to make the decision to... Give up her physical form to bring a new life into the world ((Much to the objection of some of us... Although she didn't tell us until it was way to late to change that decision)). The kinds of which we never had really seen before. Part gem part human. We just called her Sara.
    It's been a little bit over ten or twelve years now, and that's where we are now...

  • This sounds like a great idea! But I will say that I'm a little confused. Is there a main goal that's trying to be accomplished in this thread? Or are we just making stuff up as we go? I just thought that pages and pages of gems just talking to each other would get boring, so I was wondering if you had a basic plot thought out yet.

  • 1Samrg ; Yes I have plans for a story line. At the moment it isn't fully developed, I was actually hoping that I would have other involvement and critique from others.
    At the moment I plan to have involvement with homeworld gems, a half human half gem as a sort of catalyst for a lot of the plot points, and something like more complete home world forced fusions, more precise. Etc. A lot of it is rough at the moment and I'd want to work on it with you all.


    @Wιѕтerια; Glad to hear about it! If there are any ideas you wanted I'd love to hear it.

  • Once ; I'm glad you've shown interest! Don't worry, that should be fine. It's been a while for me as well to be honest but I kind of wanted to do something involving it. Hence why this at the moment is a little disorganized and such.


    And since this has shown significant interest, I will get to work retooling that first post and making it a join able thing. Look forward to the completed project sometime soon.

  • I've never role played as a gem, haha. I'm glad to see that people are interested in this thread though :)

  • I am very interested in this thread, and I can't wait to see the plot. ^^


    I'm not super experienced at role playing as a Gem, but I will do my best.

  • Alright! I've written up a short backstory and made a basic form that you can use, or disregard and use your own! I'm also glad to see another interested in joining, welcome!
    I know it's kind of copy-catish for the plot of the show, but I'm trying to deviate in some ways, and so notes would really be appreciated! I want this to be our story, not just my story that you all are members of that I'm forcing to fit in set roles.

  • It really sucks, Im suu sorry!

    Name:Smoky Quartz "Smoky"
    Age: (Im not sure what a good age range would be...
    Gender (Mainly Here For Humans):
    Species: Smoky Quartz/ gem
    Special Powers, If any: She can change to smoke and disappear into the air
    Gem Weapon: twin chakrams
    Extra: eh not really

  • Both of them look great, you're good to go.


    And YES YES YES! Feel free to make human characters, actually that would be really rad. Otherwise I get a feeling this town will feel rather empty. Give them lives, make them interesting, really it all would be cool.


    EDIT; We will be starting in a bit, I'll probably make this both the RP and Sign up Thread just to be easy for everyone, and I'll make a first post I think either by tomorrow or once one more person signs up.

  • Name: Scapolite
    Age: 7000~ years old
    Gender (Mainly Here For Humans): N/A
    Species: Gem
    Special Powers, If any: Does intelligence count? ;)
    Gem Weapon: Axe (see picture)
    Appearance : I'll color my drawing tomorrow. In the meantime, you can look up a picture of a scapolite and imagine your own color scheme. She's about Lapis's height.
    Extra: Scapolite is kindhearted and smart. She's also a good problem solver. (just for a rough personality outline) Also, I was wondering if Homeworld gems would play a role in this thread as it progressed. Should we make some later/for later?

    The post was edited 1 time, last by 1Samrg ().

  • Scapolite is Good to go! I'll get to work on the first post now. We will begin soon.


    Also, yes, home world will get involved later on. You can make them later, or now, either way works, although they won't get involved until later.

  • Cool! I think that I was editing my extra section as you were posting though...
    I asked if you thought that Homeworld gems would play a role in the story and if we should make some later/now to use later

  • Okay, thanks :) I might make another character (human or homeworld gem) but I probably won't be able to post a form for them until tomorrow.

  • [font=georgia]So many Gems. I'll choose to help save this town. xD
    and then doom it also with another gem, oops
