@Expolar next day of ic




@Expolar Ty ^^

I won't post for them until the next day, though.
It took a while, but here she is! Ignore the cigarette. Jet doesn't smoke. she's already smokin' hot


Character Theme | Black




"Whatever you do; never trust a Jet."

Gem Registration;

Jet: Facet 9A3P, Cut 5PA


Time Active;

4,309 Years


General Knowledge;

Jet's are a Gem whose name is synonymous with fear and mistrust. They are warriors who serve the diamonds, though not on the same level as a Quartz soldier. Rather than possessing brute strength and size, Jet's are more commonly known for their speed and elusive nature. They are ill fitted for the battlefield, taking on much more delicate tasks such as espionage, information gathering and, in some cases, hunting and shattering high priority Gems.

The very nature of their unsavory duties is off-putting to most Homeworld Gems. Combined with their status as 'organic' Gems (Jet being a mineral formed from ancient trees), Jet's are treated with suspicion and caution everywhere. They tend to be quite antisocial as a result of this, with exceptions.




"I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour"


Gem Location;

Her Gemstone is located on her forehead. Referring to the image, it would be where the eight is.


Physical Description;

Tall and graceful, Jet exudes confidence and finesse in all of her subtle mannerisms as she proudly flourishes her coal skin. While humanoid in appearance, Jet's have a very smooth, alien facial structure. They are perfectly spherical, possessing two white slits for eyes and a pair of full lips that blend seamlessly into her complexion. A top of her head sits a wide brimmed hat which is tilted to one side with the number '8' appearing in a white circle at the front. If she were to pull her hat back slightly, one would clearly see the smoothed gemstone sitting on her forehead.

Her chosen outfit consists of a snazzy pantsuit that glitters in the moonlight like the night sky. She also wears a pair of black, elbow length gloves and matching platform heels. Jet dresses to impress. In her books there is no such thing as 'over-doing it'.




"I've been told that I'm quite a charming individual."


Alignment;

Chaotic Good


Sexual Preference;

Demisexual


Personality;

Cheerful and proud, Jet is the type of person who refuses to be ignored. She tends to speak with flair and hyperbole, as if performing on stage rather than engaging in small talk. Of coarse, to her there is no such thing as small talk. Nothing is ever small for Jet. Everything she does needs to be blown up to monumental proportions, and she can be quite demanding until it does. Her desire to be at the center of attentions makes her seem quite selfish, which she's not completely innocent of. However it is important to remember that Jet had spent her life in the shadows before leaving the Diamonds and is still getting used to her limits and freedom to express herself.

Despite her positive attitude, there is a sadness in Jet's tone whenever she talks about the past. She's reluctant of discussing it at all, and you can tell that she feels guilty for some of the tasks the Diamonds assigned to her while she worked under them. She's worried of how the other Survivors see her, given the notorious reputation of Gems like her. As such, she tries to over compensate by being as upbeat and friendly as she can. Unfortunately, these attempts can come off as quite forced sometimes and only lead others to be more suspicious of her.




"Try and catch up, darling."


Acquired Skills;

Jet is a smooth talker; quick witted with a tongue as sharp as a blade of grass. She can twist her words in any manner to deceive others. She is also an active listener, able to read between the lines quite easily when others are speaking. This has made her quite adept at detecting when someone is lying, though it isn't always reliable.

She's naturally very nimble and agile, which are further enhanced by her powers.


Gem Abilities;

Jet possesses the very basic abilities of other Gems such as projecting light from her Gemstone, shape shifting and even projecting holographic images.

In addition to these abilities, Jet's are known for their ability to increase their speed and agility beyond the capabilities of other Gems. They aren't heavy hitters, but they more than make up for it with their slipperiness and sharp reflexes.


Summoned Weapon;

Threaded Cane. Jet's summoned weapon has two forms; a rigid bladed longsword perfect for quick slashing and piercing attacks and a long ranged whip. Jet is able to activate the weapon at will, separating the blade of her sword into many, linked together offer her long ranged. sweeping attacks. The weapon is quite stylish, at least in Jet's opinion.


Fusions;

Willing to discuss! Please PM me if you're interested!




"You're better off not knowing what I've done."


Previous Diamond Affiliation;

White Diamond


Biography;

When Jet was formed, she was fully aware of her position and role in Gem Society. She undertook her tasks without question, gathering information on planets that had previously been investigated by Turquoise Scouts and identifying any form of intelligent life. At first, Jet did not mind the spying. She didn't see the harm in alerting her Diamond to any possible threats on future colonies. However as the years went by, Jet began to notice the effect Gem Colonisation was having on these worlds. One by one, species went extinct to make room for more Kindergartens and Spires. Of coarse, she would never question the authority of her Diamond. If this was what had to be done, then so be it.

Jet had also begun to notice the prejudice that other Gem's held towards her kind. They called her distrustful, claiming that she would betray the Homeworld in an instance. She didn't know why other Gems had such a low opinion of Jet's, until she was given her first real assignment. The true purpose of Jet's was not merely to be a spy, but to seek and destroy rogue Gem's who thought they could flee the Authority. When Jet shattered her first Gem, she knew that she could no longer serve the Diamonds.

Centuries later, Jet was sent to Earth in order to shatter a few select members of the rebellion. She had heard much of the Crystal Gems; their tales of defiance igniting a spark of hope in her. When she head off for her mission, Jet bowed before the Crystal Gems and offered her service to them. She expected them to laugh in her face; who in their right mind would believe a Jet wanted to join the Crystal Gems? Instead, they welcomed her with open arms.

Jet was finally able to live freely, away from the life of spying and shattering other Gems for the gain of the Diamonds. No longer would she sit idly by and let another world crumble. Earth was her home now, and she fought in the Gem War to protect it. When the Survivors retreated, she went with them. Her fight is not over though, and she is determined to keep the Diamonds away from her new home where she is free to be herself.
@Caits No worries! Hope you're not feeling too bad right now.
@Caits, sorry to be a massive pain; but I still haven't heard back from you about the CS' I posted a while back.

Whenever you get a moment, here they are.





I will write up my character once I get home from shopping as well as handle a few other rp related matters.

I have a couple of ideas, though the one I'm leaning more towards is a washed up street illusionist who is travelling to a new kingdom to catch his big break; stopping in Winding for a few days before resuming his travels. that is until he is pulled into all this intriguing watchmaker business.

EDIT: The CS is coming along nicely, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Need to get some shut eye for work :P
@Space Boyfriend and @Bishop, just wondering how things are on your end? Haven't heard from you in a while.

If you guys are busy then I hope things calm down for you soon. Have a good one!
@Zarkun That is true. We'll see how it goes then.
I'm thinking of writing up Honey Calcite or Jet. God Idk why I'm struggling so much, it usually never takes me this long.
