Description
HAAHAHAHAHA WELP, I BLAME SOMEONE FOR THIS. MADE AN APP FOR
---------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Red Beryl or Scarlet Emerald, Prefers to be called Red or Red Beryl. Just call him Red to keep him happy.
Age: Actual age, 2843; Appearance Age, 24
Birthday: May 16th
Gender: Male
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 158 lbs
Weapon: Scarlet Repeaters: An Automatic Pistol style weapon that fires small chunks of what Red calls “Gem Shrapnel.”
Personality: Red has always been a little full of himself. The Crimson gem has always thought of himself as better than other gems of lesser value of rarity, usually ending up treating them more akin to a lesser drone. Combine this with his intellect and what you have is a gem ready to work his fingers off and then some...
Red's work is often his greatest pride. He'll happily work on a new weapons project and drop anything else he's doing to get started, not stopping until he has it complete or if he needs to go out to get more supplies to complete it. He’s not entirely a fan of eating, or gems that eat, but he will occasionally (and usually feel guilty afterwards) eat something or turn to his favorite human drink that he has come to find: Wine. Nothing is better than Red Wine
Red in combat however is something one should not take lightly. Red sees himself as a sort of superior commander, having lived and worked on Homeworld for a long time, the gem often using various tactics and planning to help take down an enemy. He’s known for using his Friction control to slide around the battlefield, delivering barrage after barrage of projectiles from his Scarlet Repeater. If met with close quarters combat however, he will not hesitate to back away or even run from battle, having a fear of his gem being shattered.
History: Red Beryl was a gem created on the homeworld of the Gem Race, having been created as a test subject for Gem Tech Weaponry. It was a strange place really. A tall blue gem structure that was like a palace...only...Instead of kings and queens, as Red was taught about, it housed weapons and tools of war. Red was taught by the keeper of the place, a gem known as Heliodor. She was the closest thing that Red could ever call to a mother. They were both in the same gem group and she taught him many things about their world and the worlds beyond. The one thing that he wishes he hadn’t learned about was War.
Red was born into a time of war, during the Rose Quartz Rebellion. He heard of many things of this place called “Earth” and how there were bad gems there, threatening a special place that was housed on that planet. He learned about it, studied it. He wanted to show Heliodor that he could be of help to. With her guiding hands and knowledge, Red was taught the trade she had learned: Weaponmaking. He knew that gems could produce their own weapons, as like the pistols he knew and loved. However, Heliodor taught him the way of hammer and forge, of machine and metal, of Gem and laser. A thousand years, he worked under her, creating weapons for the Homeworld Gems to bring into battle...and yet, to his surprise, they lost.
And with loss, there came hardship. Gems from the higher up came, coming with blame on Heliodor. They blamed her for part of the loss, how her weapons were a factor in the loss of the war. Red could only watch as he was put as her punishment. He was poofed and bubbled, placed on a random warp pad and sent to some distant planet. He was exiled. He was exiled for a mistake that wasn’t his. He reformed after a long time, something he didnt keep track of. He spent years, wandering from planet to planet, trying to find a way to get back at the people who wronged him. It was so long that he had heard from another gem before stumbling across a warp pad to a new planet. As the column of light vanished, he found himself staring at a place he remembered from his teachings long ago. Blue sky. Blue sea. Green Grass. Earth. The home of the Crystal Gems. A new chance. A smile slipped across his face as he stumbled his way to their home. After all, the enemy of my enemy must be my friend.
Likes: Wine, Metal, Fire, Books, Quiet places, Cats (dude has a super weakspot for cats)
Dislikes: Homeworld Gems, Rain, Extensive eating, being woken up suddenly.
Extras:
-Red has a weakspot for cats since coming to Earth. They're perfect. Tiny little vicious balls of fur and claws. Theyre cuddly and deadly at the same time.
-He absolutely hates getting wet. He'll go into water if he absolutely has to, but will avoid it at all costs. Gotta keep that hair lookin fine.
-Red is not particularly fond of seeing Gem Powered tools. (Ex. Lapis' Mirror) This is because he heard rumor that Heliodor was turned into something like that and was carted off gem knows where.
-Red's power is Friction Manipulation, The ability to raise or lower the friction affecting himself or nearby objects.
