Soooo~

I'm not quite sure if I should list Gems as a separate species, since the name is something temporary and nor what you could call on "official" species name. I know I've yet to do the forms, but here's some basic info as a reminder for myself and something to read for anyone who's interested XD

As for why I'm not listing it as a species, is because I'm not sure if someone'll want to make a gem character and if so then I'm not sure iof I should allow it or not. As far as I can tell, they're really not major characters or anything and their main purpose was pretty much to be bodyguards or something like that.

I've yet to elabora on their creation story but they were created by the goddess Bixbite on some occasion she needed immediate help. The existing gems are three: Iolite, Sapphire, and Topaz Yellow Topaz). Each of them got substantial amounts of the goddess's powers, specifically one domain for each one. In general, Topaz has cat-related powers, Iolite's got gem powers, and Sapphire has harmony powers. Their physical forms are those of cat-people(more like children lol) because that's what Bixbite has domain over: Cat people and gems.

So naturally, they've all got cat ears and tails. Physically, they look pretty young. This is due to the size of their vital energy sounce, a gem. In all of their cases, said gemstone is polished and therefore rather small. Topas has the smallest gem and thus has the appearance of an 11-12 year old. Iolite's gem is the largest, giving him the looks of a 15-16 year old. Sapphire is in-between. Another fact is that because gemstones are objects, the Gems are technically genderless physically, and also because they were created on a whim and Bixbite didn't put a lot of thought into their appearances.
