@Akayaofthemoon Nothing, you're just anxious. Same here with me, but paitence is a virture. Anyway, to keep the convo moving, what do you guy's think of Mars' debut post. I was hoping to get down his personality for those last coupke paragraphs, the rest just being awesome build up to the anti-climax of him biting at his own gem.

We Are the Crystal Gems

Thank you, I hope so to.

Anyway, I feel like I should talk a little bit of what Tiger's-eye was like both before and durong the war. Important notes for @Akayaofthemoon &@Kronshi

Beforr the war, Tiger wasn't really what most woukd see as the wartior type, was actually more of a scholar with an insatiable appetite for knowledge. But he was also very empathetic to the plights of others, always willing to lend a hand and help those in need. When the war started, however, he soon gou d himself facing Gems he'd known his whole life in to the death combat, fighting not because he believed that Homeworld was rigt, but because he couldn't turn his bavk on his own kind. He wanted to teach Homeworld to be better from within, not force change through rebellion(could have a flashback where Aquamarine asks Tiger to join the Crystal Gems, only for him to say something along those lines, though obviously struggling with guilt due to what he was allowi g to happen).

During the war, despite the depression that ate at his mind and sanity, he loyally fought in the war, hardening his heart so it could be used like Ore in the forge of war. His rise through the ranks and power would be unprecendented as he used his perpetual focus and intellect to outsmart and defeat much more experienced and powerful foes. He would be feared by the Rebellion as the Golden Death, for once you saw the golden sheen of hus daggers blades, death would soon cime knocking. He would remain a loyal soldier to the end, but every battle killed the mannge used to be, leaving an empty shell in it's place. He had the skills of a great warrior, but none of the heart, and that eventually .ed to his demise on the battle field.

@pyroman I agree, though it's up to the bosses if they want to run that way. But also know that the mories will be fractured, sometimes vague, and heavily influence by emotion Tiger was feeling at that moment.

Mars' thing is that he's going to have a major identity crisis, trying to figure out who he really is, and trying to separate himself from Tiger.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@AkayaofthemoonDepends on the moment and how I feel at any particular moment in time.

@21308I was inspired, and it would've probably been longer if I was on my computer and not my 2DS.

We Are the Crystal Gems

And I posted, hope you enjoy it. I now I did. *ques maniacal laughter*

Edit: Mars will periodically have flashbacks of his time as Tiger, given some remnants of the gem must remain in his shards, so he'll probably recognize Blood and Awua when he sees them. Also, couldn't resist Ultron quote, it seemed somewhat fitting.

Mars

At first, there was only darkness, an endless void that bore no beginning, nor end. Aimless was my drifting, barely comprehending anything around me. The silence was deafening, drowning out and suffocating every thought with it's heavy embrace. But sometime later, however, images began to flash in the darkness. Flashes of faces and places that held an echo of familiarity, yet no memory to accompany it, sughts of towering cities and the vast expanse of the cosmos. These were happy images, joyful feelings abounding in everyone, but this euphoria would soin be followed by despair.

Flames raced across the void, painting a scene of chaos and destruction, figures clashing all around in heated struggles, and the sounds of earth-shattering explosions like the booming if drums to this orchestra of sorrow and violence. In hand, two golden daggers set ablaze by an inner light, in heart, the hollow memories of those they've slain weighing me down into an ocean of regret. I look up, eyes burning with unshed tears aa I harden my heart and charge into the fray, adding the clang of my blades to the never ending sounds of war.

Then, as suddenly as they came, the images left me, once again enshrouded by darkness. I'm left wondering at what I saw, left to ponder if it was a memory, if the feelings felt truly were mine to feel. I feel pain, and more than that, I feel hatred for this void. It shall trap me no longer. I push against it with all my being, with all the strength I possess, until finally, cracks break acrossthe blackness, blinding me with their radiant light, and in such divinity, I grin with euphoria flowing through my body.

"Because now I am free . . . there are no strings on me."

In the KinderGarten, near the height of the tallest cliffs, a golden light was shining from the rock face. It would shine like that for a while, visible to all who may be in the valkey below, u til it suddenly intensified. The rock gave way to reveal a glowing figure, basic at first, but it soon would gain the details to identify a young youth with wild hair like a mane hanging from the edge of the cliff. His eyes would open to survey the valley below, before he simply let go, falling forward towards the ground at an astounding rate.

Seconds before making contact, he'd twist his body around so that he'd make contact feet first, causing a rather loud 'boom' to resound through the area, as well as raising a rather large cloud of dust around the figure. Crouching low, he'd soon stand at his full height, which was well over 6 feet. His golden eyes, flecked with bits of reds, blues, and blacks, looked down at himself, investigating the form he'd been given. He'd slowly raise his arm up, inspecting the odd object attached to the underside of his wrist. When faced with such a thing, there was only one course of action necessary to investigate it.

He opened up and tries to pull at it with his teeth.

This action was very soon aborted, however, as the pain and general weirdness the actiin shot through his body instantly told him that it was a bad idea. After that mishap, he quickly turned his attention to his surroundings, soon looking over to see a figure of similar shape to his, but with obvious differences.

Hmmmm, what the hell is that thing? I wonder if it talks . . . wait, can I even talk? How do I even know what that is? The tall figure puzzled over it for a little whi.e longer, before shrugging his shoulders and turning his atrention back to the figure. His eyes narrowed slightly before he bolted forward at very high speed, tackling the figure to the ground before they could react. Looking down at the figure, he gave a innocent smile before reaching forward to swipe the glasses from their head, looking them over before trying them on, then deciding he didn't like them and putting them back on the figure.

"Well then, What the hell, are you, do you know what I am, and what's with your chest? It's all weird and squishy? Is it supposed to be like that?" As he spoke, the new gem woukd poke the figure's chest with a look of child-like curiosity in his eyes, wonderong why this figure was so much different in appearance then himself.

@Guardian Angel HarukiIf that's Azurite, then never mind this, but if you meant it to be Mars, his Gem is a lot higher up. It would be glowing right now, as I'm currently working a post.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Guardian Angel HarukiNo problem :)

@Guardian Angel HarukiMars will be in the Mohs town one if Candice will be there.
