Description A Dark Melody,
Her shy and timid nature masked by a forlorn suit of Dark and Imposing Armor. Nearly a hundred years she was alone with no one to even talk to her, the Amber Tree and the howling whisper of the grey wind seeping through the cracks in the old Amber Tree. Her dark coloration comes from the Ashen dust that blew in from the holes in the trunk and the Metal Magnetite's power drew from deep within the earth itself. Those years where chaotic, marked by frequent fires and lightning storms but it was something as simple as hymn that Magnetite hummed, that kept her from being afraid. The loud resonating tune seemed to calm the earth itself and in time, Black Amber came to realize that he did not sing alone. The Amber Tree herself had been here the whole time, shielding them as best it could from the worst the storms had to offer and slowly but surly healing the land itself. So to would Black Amber start to sing and in time, many more would join them.

Black Amber,
She was the first to take a form after Amber went searching for Magnetite, it was a strange sensation. All these years she had been apart of a greater whole with their mother and sisters, healing the forest and bring order back to this tainted land but now? Now she was free to move and simply be herself, the feeling of grass between her toes and soft brush of the warm sun and wind through her hair. Even then, she could feel the Amber Tree, she could feel how anxious the Tree had become since Magnetite's departure and how worried for his safe return, she could even feel the anger it held to one that led him astray. It made her angry too but looking upon the world they had brought back to life, she could hardly hold a grudge if others found themselves in need of his help. Black Amber would never return to the Tree itself but nor would she ever truly leave it's side, without Magnetite she would have to serve as the protector of the Sacred Grove.

Shared Weapons, skills and etc of all Amber Tree Gems .


Amber Shaping and Healing:
All Amber Gems from the Amber Tree retain some capacity to shape Amber into constructs as they see fit and they may even heal organic life with it if they so please but to what degree each is capable of varies from Amber to Amber.

Weakness: 
All Amber Gems from the Amber Tree possess some innate fear fire though some are more suited to dealing with it than others but universally nearly all dislike heat or colder climates. Amber Gems also require resin to use their more specialized abilities and without it most will become powerless in combat situations. Finally, though pleasantly sweat when in the presence of Magnetite, without him they will becomes very irritable to point of all out aggression against anything or anyone. Their connection to him is currently maintained through a Magnetite Prayer Bead placed within the trunk of the Amber Tree but so long as one remains in contact with it, they will themselves remain peaceful and coherent.

Black Amber Unique, Weapons, skills and etc.

Shy temperament - Black Amber Armor:

Black Amber spent a hundred years alone, though the original lay nearby never once did she speak to her new Amber Gem. Too frightened, too worried that her work would suffer if she broke concentration for even a minute that she left poor Black Amber all alone for a hundred years in wreckage of a dying world. Black Amber is very timid because of this and shields herself from the outside world behind a thick wall of dark and lustrous Amber. The Amber Armor can harden to deflect attacks or soften to absorb them, the Armor may even reactively form hands to grasp enemy weapons that fall short and pull them into the thick sticky mass. Anything coming into contact with her armor has a chance to become stuck within the tough gooey resin, rendering unable to be retrieved until Black Amber releases it. The Black Amber Armor is extremely tough and resistant to fire, the only obvious weak point being a possible lack of mobility but that said because it's made of a thick liquid Black Amber can move faster wearing it than most can without  any sort of encumbrance. 

Magnetite Bead, Greatsword:
The Greatsword of Magnetite, when Amber went searching for Magnetite she left much destruction in her wake until at long last, they found him. Magnetite returned to the sanctuary and discovered the family he left behind but too important was his mission that he could not stay behind. So instead he gifted a single bead to them, that they might always remember him or at least until his work was done and he could safely return. Normally the Bead is kept near the tree at all times but Black Amber has been known to steal it from time to time and has even wielded it in defense of the Sanctuary but usually as a last resort only.

-As a Sword,

It remains as sharp as it is heavy and though self-repairing the years haven’t been kind to this blade and have left it chipped in more than a few locations. It can easily break any weaker metals or even shatter more intricate weapons on contact but even this Greatsword has its limits, having nearly broke in two after coming in contact with a Diamond Blade that forever left it a strange swirled cracked slightly above the hilt.

-As a Bead,

It can utilize nearly all abilities of Magentite himself though at a much more limited capacity. Such as granting limited invisibility to individuals or creating a stealth fields to hide many on command.  

Cavernous Vibrations:
Black Amber hallows out small holes and tunnels into her Amber Armor allowing her to create greater vibrations than that of Amber Tree itself. Her a powerful sonic attack can shatter rock and outright ignores most defenses. It also has a side effect of changing her voice to sound deep and thunderous, earthlings have even remarked it sounds somewhat like a classical bass with an eerie rippling undertone of evil.

Weakness:

Black Amber is shy by nature but that does not mean she cowers in fear at the sight of strangers but rather she becomes very hostile at first sight. Her Armor acts as a natural security blanket and emboldens her to lash out more without provocation. Though her Armor is resistant to fire, it is by no means fire proof and can catch fire is exposed long enough to an open flame.
