Pink Diamond -- prior to [i]the incident[/i] -- would pass assignments through her Agates, and after that, aristocrats kept them scuttling around. Tourmaline, Facet-5F7L, Cut-8XB, oversaw kindergarten maintenance and traveled across the planet programming warp pads, but internally, she considered her true job to be a historian, lorekeeper of gem kind. She served Homeworld for three thousand years and [i]hated every moment of it.[/i] It's not easy to stay impartial with the Diamond's line of dirty laundry laid at your fingertips. Scouring the database with particularly-illicit curiosity turned up records of past alien civilizations conquested, genocided in the name of species preservation -- and their resources were devastated now anyway. It was why gems like her own were repurposed. First era Tourmalines were decorative gems like Pearls without exclusivity to the upper crust -- entertainment gems, their only responsibility to sing, dance, and dazzle for a paying audience. But Pink Diamond's seizure of the Earth colony occurred at the realization of economic disparity and a proclaimed "social advancement" which truly moved the idea of citizenship [i]backward.[/i] In becoming technician class, Tourmalines traded their class prerogative, the only subversion of the Diamonds' intense imposed autocracy. Meanwhile, the rulers of those past interplanetary societies had been far less controlling and, frankly, [i]incompetent[/i] -- they were utterly destroyed. Tourmaline felt no sympathy when her Diamond was shattered. She saw it as the beginning of an future, one where gems rose up to [i]crush[/i] what remained of the Authority. She worked as a double agent, providing intel to the rebel party as the war raged on the fringes. She could only suppress so much of her disparity, especially as, based on what she saw of the conflict, it was increasingly tipping in the Crystal Gems' favor. Unfortunately, for them, that "victory" was much more complicated. On her behalf, Tourmaline was never enlightened. An Agate caught wind of her leaking and narced. She was destabalized, would have been shattered, but the Crystal Gems interfered. At that point, she had proven herself an ally. At this point, they're all she has. [right]_________[/right] [color=#5bd7cc][list][*]Tourmaline is a [i]brittle[/i] gemstone. Luckily hers is placed on the nape of her neck and out of sight. [*]Full name is "Cat's Eye Tourmaline." Also goes by "Cat's Eye," "Cat." [*]Because she used to be a decorative gem, her gem still has some storage capacity, but it's dedicated to her limb enhancers. [*]Her limb enhancers at max length are equivalent to two forearms (proportional to herself) attached at the joint. The disjointed finger parts have the appearance of hooked claws. Her limb enhancers have a "combat mode" in which the claws "unsheath" into longer daggers. Holographic technology in themselves, the enhancers appear in place of where arms would normally be when active. [*] The diamond emblem on the nape of her cloak nowadays is a golden star.[/list][/color] [/cell][/row][/table] [hr][center][color=gray]"Tourmaline" gemsona by [url=http://shycustis.tumblr.com/post/114077448351][color=#5bd7cc]shycustis.tumblr[/color][/url][/color][/center][hr][/indent][/indent][/indent][/hider] If I ain't too slow on this, I wanted to try a 'tabletop'-style rp here so... here's an offering!
