Powers: 
Telepathy II. Paraiba Tourmaline is able to form connections with other sentient beings allowing them to communicate with each other without the need for any specialized equipment or vocal conversation. Any being in a connection with Tourmaline will either be fully aware of the link or feel a looming presence hanging over them for the duration. A link can only be established to those she can visibly see and any unaware connections will be broken once line of sight is lost. Also, anyone aware of the connection or aware of the looming presence can resist and end the connection if they wish. She can connect up to 6 other beings with anything further requiring her to enter a meditative state.

Telekinesis II. More of an offshoot of the telepathic abilities that come with all Paraiba Tourmalines, she is able to use her own will to manipulate objects in the immediate vicinity of herself. She can only levitate solid objects excluding herself and any break in concentration will cause what she is holding to plummet to the ground. The force can carrying a decent amount of weight but a person can break free if they resist hard enough. The more objects being controlled, the more strain is placed on the user letting them manipulate 5 objects at a time without exhausting themselves. 

Items: Ball and chain, gem item. 

Backstory: 
Paraiba Tourmalines are created to serve as scribes and communications officers maintaining a massive archive of key information that has been gathered by homeworld over a countless number of years. Paraiba Tourmalines are often the most up to date when it comes to home world's most recent activities, thus some higher ranking gems have found value on granting them telepathic abilities in cases where typical communication methods were less than optimal. The age, experience, and circumstances determine how much each Paraiba Tourmaline is allowed to access, with the young often being viewed as inexperienced and unreliable within this group of gems. Since PT is a young gemling, there is quite a great deal she needs to achieve in order to earn the recognition of her fellow Paraiba Tourmalines and her superiors. Though not meant for hands on experiences, her first assignment is to aid a group of gems investigating something known as “The Cluster” and retrieving as much information as possible to be returned to homeworld. There may be very little data regarding this strange place known as ‘Earth’, but PT will do her best to make sure this mission is successful.


[hider=Writing Example]
“[color=00a99d]What?...wait...this can't possibly be right...[/color]” The gemling muttered as she continued to furiously search through the archive for anything relating to a project referred to as “The Cluster”. Thousands of research projects, military reports, and transmissions flew across her screen, but not a single one related to the focus of her next mission. The best she could retrieve was documents describing the natives of the planet as well as some of their strange customs and rituals. They proved interesting enough for a brief reading, but this was the worst time for her to be distracted by such useless information.

“[color=00a99d]How can I be of any help if I can't provide any useful information to my team? They probably just dumped me on here cause I’m still so young...[/color]” An expression of disappointment and irritation came onto the green gems face as she tried in vain to probe deeper into the archive. She was always meet with the same response as before: a variety of messages reminding her that the level of access was far too low granting her only a few hundred years into the past at best.

The gem looked on the verge of either giving up or throwing her console into the nearest wall until she ripped her hands from the machine crossing them in her lap and hanging her head low looking straight into the ground. One of her many superiors came walking through the hall with one of the more recently promoted Paraiba Tourmalines a few paces behind her. She assumed her superior was returning her fellow Tourmaline to the archive as it was common once their constant stream of information was no longer necessary, but PT would never dare ask this in person.

Judging from the look of disgust upon her superiors face, PT assumed the topic of their private conversation shifted to herself as they both stared for a few seconds without muttering a single word to acknowledge her presence before walking on. She would have felt terrible from all the tension in the air had it not been for her fellow Tourmaline making a slight waving motion towards her while trying to remain in character in front of their boss. The two had been initiates for quite some time together, and PT couldn't help but feel happy her friend had finally been accepted into the core group within the archive.

The young gem spent the few moments she was disconnected from her console wondering why gems in the hierarchy often had such disdain for each other. The Paraiba Tourmalines used this ranking system as a means to determine the overall experience a gem yet others used it to determine general worth. She had encountered some of the elder tourmaline casually talking to superiors about myths from the past while others wouldn't dare whisper in the same scenario. Once the two had passed by her station, PT remembered she had a objective to achieve and resumed her futile search on this strange planet known as “Earth”.
