"I suppose it *has* been a while since I've been around. It feels like years even. But that can’t be right… can it?”

[blackstardiopside]

Welcome Back Starter for @baddeleyite-revived !

It wasn't out of the ordinary for Black Star to be spotted shapeshifting into animals. But today, she wanted to surprise her girlfriend with her canine form. A small, black furred Cavapoo with a chubby belly. But the Diopside in her canine form, was hiding amongst the shrubbery. Body low to the ground, Black Star's plan was to pounce on Baddeleyite from afar.

Brows furrowed as Black Star smirked, spotting Baddeleyite from her backside, in perfect range for a 'sneak attack.' Following a silent step forward, Black Star would lunge from her hiding place, catapulting herself at Baddeleyite while yelling "time for a sneaky hug attack!" Paws outstretched, Black Star's tiny dog body was drawing closer. But when she was mere inches away from her girlfriend, the shape-shifted Gem felt something, or someone grab her by the back of the neck. Dangling idly in the air.

This was of course, the work of Baddeleyite's loyal companion Elk. With a pout, Black Star would dangle idly and cross her 'arms' (front legs.) "Elk, put me down" the greyscale Gem would whine.

"To be fair, my currently fuzzy beloved," The umber Gem stood from her gardening, brushing the dirt from the front of her dress. "he does love to impede shenanigans."

Holding out her hands, her faithful steed deposited the pupper shaped Gem into her waiting arms. She stumbled a bit from the sudden weight, but managed to gracefully float them both to the grass before she could topple. Without another word, she hugged Black Star to her and began to nuzzle her furry face contentedly.

She needed a break anyway. And what better way to spend it than burying her face in her wife’s floof?

Goddesses of Gemkind

The Moon Goddess (The Mother of Moons): 

Goddess of healing and the divine matriarch of Gemkind, The Moon Goddess was the first of the four Goddesses to be fully embraced by Gems. The earliest creation myths credit her with creating the first Gems from her tears, having been taken by the unspeakable beauty of the gemstones she found on the planet that would become Homeworld. She is depicted as a feminine figure with long flowing hair holding a large gemstone in her hands.

The Sun Goddess (The Mistress Solar): 

The paternal twin sister of the Moon Goddess and Goddess of industry, warfare, and gem harvesting. The polar opposite of the Moon Goddess, who is portrayed as a calm and loving healer, the Sun Goddess is more of an aggressive figure often portrayed as a fiery-haired being wielding a sword in one hand and torch in the other. She is often credited as having taught gemkind the art of war, weapon-forging, and the art of kindergartening.

The Star Goddess (The Lady of Stars): 

The second oldest of the Goddesses, the Star Goddess is considered the patron deity of all space-faring gems. Often depicted as a feminine figure clothed in robes of starlight while holding bundles of maps and charts under one arm while the other holds a sextant and compass, she is credited with having given early Gems the knowledge of navigation and the knowledge of space travel. In olden days, it was more often than not that any gem vessel would have at least one space within it dedicated to the Star Goddess to ensure safe travels.

The Void Goddess (The Void Mother): 

The oldest of the gem pantheon the Void Goddess is strongly considered to be the Goddess of Death and the gem after-life, often depicted as a grim female figure clothed in mist and shadows and wielding a walking staff. In ancient gem mythology, her task was often to judge gems upon their death based upon the burdens they carried over from life. Those whose burdens were light were ferried towards the Moonlit Path so that they could make their way to the Moon Goddess’ side while those whose burdens weighed heavily were either cast into the Moonless Night to be punished for all eternity or were offered a chance to relieve themselves of their burdens in another lifetime.

Gem Religious Orders

Sisterhood of the Glowing Moon: 

Home to Gems dedicated to the worship of the Mother of Moons (Moon Goddess) and the healing and psychic arts. Founded by the late Moonstone the Enlightened, the history of the Sisterhood dates back to pre-Era 1 Homeworld during which time they were regarded as the utmost practitioners of gem healing and psychic training. 

However after the rise of the Diamond Authority after the Great Unification War, the two organizations became at odds with each other on many occasions during Era 1; the most infamous of which being the Martyrdom of Moonstone, whose denouncement of the legitimacy of their rule led to her public shattering after being betrayed by her fellow sisters in order to stay the Diamond’s wrath and ensure their continued survival.

This pact of tolerance, however, ended violently during the Earth Rebellion, when Sisterhood Gems joined the forces of Rose Quartz after their leader, Abbess Blue Jade, expressed her public support of the renegade Gem. This lead to White Diamond calling for the destruction of any of the Sisterhood’s Gems who did not fall in line with Homeworld, leaving only those who were willing to concede to her demands.

The Cult of Void: 

Despite being around for seemingly countless millennia, precious little is truly known about the faithful of the Void Mother and the tenets of their religion. What is known is how the Cult and it’s followers were dedicated to the study and recording of both the universe around them and phenomena taking place within it. In fact, it is said that the libraries of the Cult contained volumes upon volumes of not only research and observations but also countless volumes of secret histories and truths written from the neutral, and often cold, perspective of the cult’s observers.

However, these volumes and more were lost during the vast purge of the religious orders of Homeworld following the Rebellion, though not to the violence called forth from the Diamond’s wrath. Long forgotten (or rather sequestered) reports from the attempted purge of the Cult’s main temple, the Blackstone Obelisk, detail many accounts of the complex being swallowed up by a thick, impenetrable layer of mist and fog before seemingly having vanished from the face of Homeworld itself along with the Obelisk’s occupants and the treasures contained within.

To this day, there is still intense debate (in secret) amongst the more ‘open-minded’ of Gemkind’s great thinkers as to what truly happened to the Cult of Void, some claiming that the cultists had used long lost technology to transport their home to a safer location while other more eccentric views believe that the Void Mother had rewarded her faithful by delivering them from destruction. 

The truth may never be known…

The Order of The Blazing Sun:

Dedicated to the Mistress Solar (The Sun Goddess), the Order of the Blazing Sun is home to proud warrior Gems from all across the Gem Empire seeking to hone their skills. Unlike their opposite number, The Sisterhood of the Glowing Moon, the Order doesn’t bother with long arcane rituals and ceremonies to appease their patron deity. In their eyes, the best way to prove one’s devotion to the Sun Goddess is on the field of battle seeking glory or a worthy end.

Rooted in the long forgotten time of pre-Era 1 Homeworld, the Order of the Blazing Sun was founded by Sunstone the Enkindled as a mercenary band during the great upheaval that followed the fall of the Firstborn Empire. As word of their deeds and victories grew, many Gems flocked to Sunstone, some seeking fame and fortune while others sought camaraderie amongst fellow warriors. Soon the Order established itself as a force to be reckoned with after Sunstone herself shattered the tyrant, Bloodstone, and claimed her colonies for her own and built the first temple to the Sun Goddess upon the ruins of Bloodstone’s once mighty fortress. There her fellow warriors and the liberated colonists bequeathed to her the title of Grandmaster along with the tyrant’s once feared sword, Gem-Eater.

But like many others, the Order fell victim to the Diamond’s purge following the Rebellion, with many of their former strongholds being put to the sword. It is said that the then Grandmaster, Red Phantom Quartz, shattered legions of Homeworld soldiers single-handedly with the ancient blade before finally falling herself to give her remaining sisters time to flee the destruction of the first temple. Where those few remaining warriors are now or the fate of Sunstone’s sacred weapon has been lost to the relentless march of time…

The Fleet of the Lady: 

By far one of the largest and most diverse of the four orders, the Fleet is home to Gems from all walks of Gem society bound by a common goal. That being, the exploration of the vast and infinite universe and the mapping thereof. Numbering in the hundreds of thousands, the Fleet holds all manner of vessels from numerous eras, even pre-Era 1. The rarest and most venerable of these are the Star Chariots, vast, ancient ships so massive that they are often mistaken for moons. Many speculate that these ships are remnants of the high technology left behind by the Firstborn Empire, which would explain why the Fleet and the faithful aboard them guard them so jealously.

Of the four orders, the Fleet took the least amount of casualties during the Great Purge instigated by the Diamonds, though the losses they did suffer were still great. One of their greatest casualties was the loss of the Star Chariot, Grace of the Lady, and Admiral-Canoness Jadeite after they were ambushed by Homeworld forces while en route to Homeworld for resupply. This dealt a massive blow to the cohesion of the Fleet and led many of it’s vessels to flee into deep space to avoid destruction. To this day, many of the Fleet have either gone into hiding in the furthest stretches of the galaxy or have devolved into roving bands of guerrillas and pirates in order to make Homeworld pay for what they did to their order. 

The Diamond Cult:

While it is true that most Gems do revere the Diamonds greatly, there are a few who take their devotion to fanatical extremes. These Gems are, more often than not, members of what has been dubbed ‘The Diamond Cult’. Members of the cult believe that the Diamonds are goddesses incarnate representing the purity of Gemkind over organic lifeforms and their divine right to rule over the cosmos.

While not officially condoned, the cult is tolerated for the most part as there is very little threat of rebellion or treason and has grown to encompass Gems from various parts of the Homeworld social strata. The tenets of the cult preaches, among other things, strong messages of galactic conquest in the name of the Diamonds, outright hatred for any form of organic life, and complete and utter loyalty and obedience to the Diamonds.

And since the Rebellion and the death of Pink Diamond, Rose Quartz has become something of a demonic figure in the eyes of the cult, many of the older and more fanatical of it’s members having taken part in the war for Earth as an act of holy retribution for the crimes she and the rebellion committed against the holy Diamonds.

Gem Lore: First Song/Magic

When it comes to what most beings would classify as ‘magic’, the use of First Song is probably the closest Gemkind has to true magic. To use First Song is to attune oneself to the music of the universe itself and use it to alter the world around oneself to a degree or even transcend it. However one cannot use such a powerful force without becoming altered as well. In some ways the change can be subtle, a shift of personality or a slight increase in impulsiveness. In others the change can be drastic, taking a Gem and altering them to be something far different to what they were previously. It often depends on the strength of the Song used and how in tune with it one is.

In the modern Homeworld era, however, the practice of First Song and the study thereof is more or less banned by edict of the Diamonds themselves. However, it is rumored that some (if not all) of the Diamonds are proficient in the art of First Song to a degree, along with keeping a secret store of old knowledge of the art along with furtively kept practioners for their own ends. 

[baddeleyite-revived]

The First Song

In the beginning, there was silence and emptiness unfathomable. 

It stretched out beyond any measurement of time and reason into everything and nothing. 

Then came The First Song of Creation.

Whether it came all at once or slowly over the course of eons, the first trembling notes of the song began to break the silence and fill the emptiness. Soon the song became louder and stronger as new voices began to add to the grand harmony. 

These celestial beings sung into creation by the First Song helped form the first stars and the vastness between them. They shaped the first fledgling planets and solar systems, spreading further and further out in the universe, chasing the First Song to continue singing with it.

Many fell behind, either by choice or by happenstance and nurtured the echoes that remained in the song’s wake, slowly but surely breathing life onto the myriad worlds their chorus had created.

It is said in the most ancient of myth and legend that there will come a time when the First Song will echo back down the ages, resonating within each and every soul within the universe until all voices are raised once more to sing in a new world once more.

The Living Tears

Left behind by the First Song and it’s chorus, the Four Sisters of Void, Moon, Sun and Star settled on a desolate, rock strewn world yet to bear life. 

The youngest of the sisters, Moon, found the stones of the world filled with glittering stones of many rich and beautiful colors. So moved by the beauty of these stones, she raised her voice in song to them, praising their shine and luster to the highest. 

As she sang, great tears of joy ran down her face and onto the stones themselves, a soft glow emanating from within each of the stones as she continued to sing and cry. One by one a light grew around the stones, small at first but slowly growing until they began to take on a form akin to that of the crying Moon. 

One by one, these new forms raised their young voices to join their creator’s song, thanking her for the gift of life she had given them. Their song named her Mother of Moons, Life-Giver and Gem-Mother, Tear-Singer and Song-Mistress. They loved her as she had loved them, embracing her and praising her.

And by her song, she had named them First-Born, Gem-kind, and Tear-Children. And she so loved them that she taught them the ways of her and her Sisters, teaching them the verses of the great Song and how to sing of them.

Clothing: A light red kameez tunic with elbow length sleeves over a pair of light yellow poofy shalwar pants.

Personality: Tries to be balanced, calm and clear-headed, though can be nervous and scatter brained under stress. Baddeleyite is often seen as calm and polite to a fault, taking many insults in stride and seeking to extend a friendly hand to many who cross her path. Due to her ingrained nature as an intermediary she will often try to insert herself in any conflict to try and end it peacefully and avoid conflict. A deeply faithful Gem, Baddeleyite prays to the Mother of Moons (The Moon Goddess) almost every day, though part of her feels a niggling doubt as to whether or not she even hears her anymore.

Likes: Mediation, reading, reciting the Mantras of the Ancients, human periodicals, puzzle toys, being close to others, learning, playing her sitar.

Dislikes: Brash personalities, rushing into action, sweets, violence for violence’s sake, cockroaches.

Bio: Born on Kindergarten colony 38-K-Tau, Baddeleyite, like all of her Gem Type was made to be an advisor and intermediary for Homeworld’s many bureacratic institutions. As such she was assigned to act as a diplomatic go-between for the Sisterhood of the Glowing Moon, one of Gemkind’s few remaining old religions. During her time with the Sisterhood, she ‘went native’ as it were and began to take up not only their religion and customs but also managed to end up as Tear Mother Blue Jade’s protege. During this time she learned not only some of the Sisterhood’s famed healing arts but also how to focus and utilize her previously dormant psychic abilities. 

She remained with the Sisterhood until the start of the Earth Rebellion, forced to flee after their leader, Blue Jade, was arrested on the charges of giving aid to the Rebellion. Forced to join up with the Rebels to keep themselves safe, the Sisterhood began to insinuate themselves into their structure as healers, battle psychics and chaplains to any who wished to hear their sermons. This continued on until the fateful day of Homeworld’s retreat and the mass corruption of the Rebel forces by the Diamonds, leaving Baddeleyite herself as one of the few left on planet untouched. Now she resides in an abandoned temple hidden in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, occassionaly coming down to offer aid and help to any who need her.

Weapons: Baddeleyite’s fighting style utilizes both her psychic abilities and a series of sharpened throwing disks forged for her during the Rebellion for both offense and defense. 

Offensively, Baddel will either use her telekinesis to strike her enemies from afar or hurl her orbiting throwing disks at them. At close quarters, she will attempt to focus her telekinetic force at a point of impact to offer an extra punch to her blows. 

Defensively, Baddeleyite encases herself or others in a shield like aura of telekinetic energy to soften all but the most punishing blows. The downside to such a tactic however is that a sufficiently strong enough blow to shatter her shield can leave her weakened and dazed, vulnerable to enemy attack.
