♦Gem Name: Torbernite (Facet-3, Cut-2AH)
♦Nickname: "The Serious One"
♦Gemstone Location: Back of the neck.
♦Appearance:
♦Personality: Tobernite isn't really the outgoing social type thanks to her purpose, but that doesn't mean that she is socially awkward! This gem is quite sure of herself and she can carry herself in a conversation, speaking directly and without much pomp and circumstance, but never impolite either. She seems to have a low opinion of other warrior-caste gems who deal with larger and direct confrontations ("Dumb-brutes need to know what they are good for!") but she has a faint admiration for hard working gems other castes ("They keep our beautiful society running without getting in my way."She seem to have a deep distaste and hatred for traitors and deserters, taking a personal pleasure in either shattering or capturing them. When she is offered free time (which is sparingly) she spends her time catching up with the latest advances in technology (most certainly if it can be of a use to herself) and with art, even though she is not an artist herself.
♦Alignment: The court of Yellow Diamond.
♦History: Tobernite has been an active agent for Yellow Diamond long before Pink Diamond even had her first colony, and she has remained both efficient and loyal throughout the years. She has a long history of identifying and hunting down defective and/or rebellious gems and other kinds of opposition that has been troubling her diamond. She does this both openly on Homeworld as a respected/feared agent of the Diamonds, as in the shadows on distant outposts and planets where gems have fled to. She is respected by Homeworld loyalists for her diligence in snuffing out rogue gems on the planet of the Diamonds and the colonies, while the more free thinking gems seem to be happy enough if she is send off world for an assignment.
Tobernite was send to Pink Diamond's colony with a task force during the first rebellion, providing recon work for the main fighting force and taking out important key targets to weaken the command structure of the rebel force. She was commended for her efforts in the conflict by her superior but other than that she did not make a name for herself on either side of the conflict, leaving again after the first rebellion was over.
♦Whereabouts: Normally on Homeworld unless she is send to other planets on assignment.
♦Purpose: Tobernite has two purposes, one publicly on Homeworld and one covert on other planets/colonies. On Homeworld she acts somewhat of a secret police, identifying and apprehending gems who do not hold up to the design of the Diamonds before they fully go astray. She interrogates possible outliers about their behaviour and actions and tries to gather evidence of their crimes how ever possible. Still, when she has identified some gem as defective all she does is arrest this gem before alerting the proper authorities. Only when there is a direct threat to herself or other gems does she use more violent options on Homeworld.
When Tobernite is send off Homeworld it is almost exclusively to either do recon as there is a rumor about an escaped rogue gem, or a rogue gem of some skill has already been detected and needs to be shattered. Tobernite uses stealth and subterfuge to take out her targets. While she is excellent at taking down a single opponent when she attacks with the element of surprise, she is less suited for prolonged fights against one or multiple combatants. When she cannot complete her task alone she will call in for reinforcements more suited for such a task.
♦Gem Weapon: Tobernite uses sabers as shown in her [Appearance].The blades can be coated by her acid without dissolving and they can be thrown to some extent. She either fights with a blade in each hand, with one blade and one hand changed into an acid pouch, or with both hands transformed into acid pouches.
♦Gem Ability:
First skill: Acid, Tobernite can transform one, or both, of her hands into pouches that can produce an acidic substance. She can spit this goo at range of about 20 meters/15 feet, or coat something with it by touching it, or she can place small objects inside of it to dissolve them. Organic material is the most affected by the acid, while stone/metal/glass etc. takes either longer or more acid to be affected to any real extent. If a Gem's form is hit by only one or two hits from the acid it just burns and hurts, but repeated hits are enough for the form to release and retreat into their gem. When a gem is placed inside of the pouch it will be slowly dissolved, effectively shattering a gem without having the worry about shards taking on a live of their own.
Second Skill: Sound muffling, Tobernite has the ability to muffle sound directly around herself. While the sound is not fully muted, it is severely lessened. If she speaks it sounds like whispering to anyone nearby and the sound of her footsteps is hardly heard even close by. The ability is only strong enough to target her own form and the things she touches directly, but only to some extent. She can step on a branch for example and it would not be heard unless she would already be extremely close but if she touches another gem the ability is only strong enough to cover another small gem, say an Aquamarine or a Ruby. Throwing something would also not mute the sound the moment it leaves her hand. Tolbernite can use this ability as long as she focuses on it and isn't busy with other tasks. If her concentration is broken by a sudden disturbance or in the heat of battle, this ability ceases to function.
