Here are Prehnite, Lapis Lazuli, and Moonstone!

They’re for the contest by @blueswapuniverse , but I’ve already found myself falling in love with these 3, so I’ll be doing more with them in the future!

Funny story, I designed Moonstone months ago and I was planning on selling her, but she fits perfectly in the story that I have planned for them.

There will be more on their individual personalities soon!

Prehnite is a high-class guard, a bit below Holly Blue Agate. She got them big bara arms :0c Like her real-life gemstone counterpart, she has electrokinesis (real life Prehnite is pyroelectric) She may look snobby, but right now she’s feigning disgust towards Lapis and Moonstone. There’s a reason that she’s acting all high and mighty in this scene, and it will be explained later!

Lapis Lazuli is mute. Her Gem is in her mouth, preventing her from speaking. If she was allowed to, she could shapeshift a mouth, but doing so drains more energy than moving an arm or a leg since she has to shapeshift her entire vocal programming’s placement to talk from somewhere else on her body. Other than her Gem placement, Lapis is no different from other Lapis Lazulis.

Moonstone is a high aristocratic Gem, below a Sapphire but above an Agate. Her design was inspired by the figurine from the Lunar Sea Spire. Like Prehnite, there’s a reason that she’s acting so flustered.

All three of them work in a building very similar to the Lunar Sea Spire. Prehnite is a guard, much like an Amethyst. Prehnites tend to be cliquey as well, however, they believe themselves to be of higher status than they actually are. Unlike Amethysts, Prehnites take their jobs very seriously, even if they think that they’re too important to be serving such low-class Gems. They keep their thoughts to themselves, and that prerequisite leads any Prehnite that speaks rudely to any Gem in the Spire to be shattered. Prehnites are placed into their ranks immediately after emerging so that they don’t develop Amethyst-esque habits and manners. Prehnites only converse with other Prehnites. A Prehnite speaking to any other Gem or treating any other Gem as an equal will be shunned by the group, and do to not being able to work with other Prehnites, it leads to the Prehnite not being able to do her job and eventually gets shattered. If the group starts playing pranks on a “rogue” Prehenite to embarrass her/get her shattered, it might lead to disaster within the Spire, ending with the whole platoon being shattered.

Lapis Lazulis keep the Sea Spire in prime condition, and they are a sort of guard outside of the Spire, flying around, scanning the environment, and they socialize by sitting on water constructs they make. 

Moonstone is one of the highest ranking Gems in the Spire. Moonstones are sort of like the host of a book club. They make sure that all of the Gems visiting the Spire are content, they participate in conversations with high-ranking Gems, and during their free time, they keep track of star maps. Moonstones are to Prehnites as Agates are to Amethysts, but a bit softer. Moonstones are typically only stationed at Lunar Sea Spires, but the group of Prehnites that she’s in charge of most likely have not and will never leave the Spire. Moonstones don’t have to worry about Prehnites acting out of line due to the compatible nature of the two Gem types. Moonstones are one of the few Gem types that Prehnites will actually speak to.

I did use a wonderful base by @artifiziell for Lapis, but the other two were designed entirely by me, @mewmew151

So, this is for @blueswapuniverse ! I decided to participate cause its fun and its been a while since i drew something past a sketch

This is my gemsona, Rhodochrosite! A chemical engineer gem that evaluates planets resourses and the gems that can be made from them. Her duties include planning the location of kindergartens, pointing the processes to get the expected gems and how long it will take. Her input its taken into consideration when looking at planets to conquer. Shes a relatively rare gem to see, because her purpose its so specific. However thanks to the technological new age in Homeworld, some rhodochrosites dedicate themselves to tech making and now there are a little more of them.

This Rhodochrosite was made for Pink Diamond, but she sprouted little before The Thing happened and never got to meet her. She was taken in by Blue Diamond, like it happened with many more that belonged to or were going to be Pinks. Rhodochrosite had the opportunity to meet her new diamond, but due to her grief striken state there was not much to talk about in the planet conquering department. At the moment Rhodochrosite assists stablished kindergartens of Blue and plans ahead for promising planets, hoping to bring more gems to life from them once her diamond feels better. She views her duty as what she has to do and finds it interesting enough! But her view of what its done its very inorganic, shes never seen a planet full of life and untouched or gave organic lifeforms a second thought. That would be a world changer! 

Contrasting with her job, Rhodochrosite is a compassionate, kind gem and she avoids conflict like the plague. Her gem type isnt made for combat so she doesnt know if she even has a weapon. Shes very absent minded when shes not actively working and she gets really nervous when she talks to other gems. Social interaction its not her forte and for that she dreads it, the worst for her are the times in which she has to present her plans to her superiors. She loves colourful things and impromptu musical numbers. Will laze around if given the chance, which happens often due her low quantity of work in these times. She is loyal to Blue Diamond and she feels guilty when she thinks about her late diamond, because she doesnt have any particulate feelings about her, and so many including her diamond do.

This is for @blueswapuniverse ‘s contest.

Name: Blue Goldstone

Alignment: Previously Blue Diamond, now traitor.

A permafusion of a Celestite and an Azurite. After the war, fusions between different gems became even more of a taboo on Homeworld. Celestite was a high ranking Homeworld official, whereas Azurite was a trainer to many of the new recruits that had just emerged from the kindergarten. The two were never likely to meet until one day, Celestite was sent with several others to evaluate the Azurite’s training. During the evaluation, the Celestite pulled Azurite aside,flooding the poor Azurite with so many questions about how she managed to train them so fast unlike her other fellow trainers. Azurite gave her one sentence: “I know my stuff.” Unsatisfied, Celestite turned to the Azurite and blurted out “Show me then”. Celestite, never needing to learn to fight, attempted a sparring match, and failed. Several times. In the last match, however, Celestite, throwing all her force into body slamming Azurite, crashed head on into the unsuspecting gem, and their forms combined, creating the first variation of Blue Goldstone. The other Homeworld officials were appalled. Claiming treason, they charged towards the fusion in attempts to capture them, but quickly thinking, they ran and broke through a window, falling several stories before darting off into hiding.
