Wombatguy's Steven Universe

Wombatguy's Steven Universe is a retelling of the Cartoon Network TV show Steven Universe. I personally thought that the series was rushed to a conclusion in the episode Change Your Mind. In general, this page lays out the consequences of a full, 26-episode sixth season in which the main story continues at its usual pace, without a major conclusion prior to the end of the sixth season. It also changes some existing events and characters in the show. These changes are my personal preferences, and should be taken as such. Rather than a polished article, this is intended, for now, to be more of a sandbox for ideas as I fine tune how they work together.
==Major Changes to Existing Events and Characters==
*Homeworld no longer resides in a galaxy separate from that of Earth's. It now resides near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and the Homeworld Empire has conquered roughly 70% of it. The remaining space lies at the edges of the galaxy and is largely uncharted by Homeworld by the time of the series.
*The concept of Gem harvesting is touched on in the episode Familiar and is elaborated on in further episodes of Season 6. It's explained as a process in which rebellious or devious Gems are forced to supplement the structures or become the power sources of larger Homeworld buildings, ships, and equipment, or as a part of smaller artifacts. Objects produced by harvesting include geoweapons such as the Cluster, Lapis Lazuli's mirror, and the decorative details of Yellow and Blue Diamond's personal chambers.
*The concept of losing your luster is elaborated on beyond being a figure of speech. After many, many thousands of years, a Gem's power within their gem depletes and they permanently lose their ability to take on a physical form after a period of increasing weakness, essentially dying of old age. Eyeball, who in this cannon is explicitly one of the very first Rubies created, is depicted in the sixth season as meeting this fate. Losing one's luster also occurs relatively quickly if a Gem is far, far away from a source of light for an extended period of time, a couple of years or so. This makes getting stranded in space potentially lethal for Gems.
*Lars going back into space is expanded upon. While most of the Off Colors are more than happy to stay in little homeworld, Padparadscha travels back into space aboard the Star Skipper with him, serving as the ship's medic. Over the first half of the sixth season, they encounter various aliens whose species survived the conquest of their homeworlds by Homeworld that are added to the crew. This includes the rambunctious Nyx, the reconnaissance expert who has traits of cats and spiders, Nyx's pets, including the owl-like Fal and the enlongated, multi-limbed mammal Lazoong, the old and wise Gabbao, who is the ship's navigator/translator who looks like a longhorn ram mixed with a baobab tree and with rocky limbs, the deadpan and serious warrior/strategist Zaan, who is a snake-like alien with detachable cybernetic arms, and Sprocket, a socially-awkward blue-skinned humanoid who intuitively picks up on everything mechanical and serves as the ship's mechanic. Zaan and Sprocket's species are very important to the backstory of the new continuity, with a long-forgotten galaxy-spanning war between the two being the impetus for the creation of the Gems as artificial soldiers and White Diamond as the supercomputer coordinating them.
*Pardparadscha's power is depicted as having an unforeseen practical use: It allows her to see events that transpired a short while ago in areas in which she wasn't previously present. This allows her to acquire a password needed to steal Solar Skipper.
*In the episode Change Your Mind, Rainbow Quartz 2.0 is the only new Crystal Gem fusion that debuts, and this fusion lasts for a good chunk of the episode, up until Rainbow Quartz reaches White Diamond's chambers on her head ship. Steven still initially fuses with Amethyst to form Smoky Quartz, but brings together Ruby and Sapphire's gems so that they can fuse back into Garnet. Sunstone and Obsidian later debut in Season 6.
*In the episode Change Your Mind, White Diamond realizes from her interactions from Steven that she isn't perfect, but this enrages her instead of causing her to break down, and her blushed pink tone quickly shifts into an infuriated red. She states her intention to force Yellow, Blue, Pink, and herself into one form again and rule the Gem Empire by her complete self once more, confirming that Yellow, Blue, and Pink Diamond resulted from aspects of White Diamond's personality that she removed from herself. In her infuriated state, White Diamond is reckless, and Steven is able to strike her hard enough to break everyone from her control. Yellow and Blue Diamond immediately fuse into Verdant Diamond and with the help of the Crystal Gems, are able to subdue and bubble White Diamond. The episode ends with the Crystal Gems, Yellow and Blue Diamond, and the bubbled White Diamond coming to Earth in Steven's pink leg ship.
==Characters==
The various characters of my Steven Universe canon are summarized briefly here. A full reveal of these characters and their history is excluded but may be pieced together from their actions in the episode summaries further below.
===Crystal Gems===
A group of Gems and humans who fight to protect the Earth from threats, whether they be raging monsters or intergalactic empires. In the past, the Crystal Gems were a much larger force, confronting Homeworld in battles throughout the Earth during the Crystal Gem Rebellion. However, eventually their membership whittled down to Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, although they have since begun to recruit new and old members to their side once more.
Name 	Description
Steven Universe 	A thirteen-year old boy with magical powers inherited from his mother, Rose Quartz. He's learning to deal with his Gem abilities while also helping the Crystal Gems defend Earth from various threats. He has a very caring personality and prefers resolving conflicts peacefully, only resorting to fighting in desperate situations. His Gem weapon is a shield.
Garnet 	The de-facto leader of the Crystal Gems. She possesses future sight and powerful fighting prowess. Her preoccupation with the future can make her seem somewhat distant and detached, but she's really a very passionate Gem that cares a lot about the members of her team. Her Gem weapon is a pair of huge gauntlets.
*Ruby - One of the two Gems that compose Garnet. She served Homeworld as a common foot soldier before meeting Sapphire and defecting to join the Crystal Gems. She has a (literally) fiery personality and gets easily irritated and confused, but she cares deeply about her fellow Crystal Gems, especially Sapphire. Her Gem weapon is a single gauntlet.
*Sapphire - One of the two Gems that compose Garnet. She served Homeworld as an aristocratic clairvoyant before saving Ruby from shattering at Blue Diamond's hands and defecting to the Crystal Gems. She's often preoccupied with her future visions and can be (literally) chilly to others. But she also has a playful side, which tends to emerge whenever she's around Ruby.
Pearl 	One of the founding members of the Crystal Gems. She's very prim and proper, and tends to be the most maternal figure towards Steven. She tends to worry a lot about his safety, and is eager to teach him the more positive aspect of Gem culture. Her Gem weapon is a spear, but she's also proficient with swords, and regularly trains Connie in sword fighting.
Amethyst 	The youngest member of the Crystal Gems at the beginning of the show, who emerged from an Earth Kindergarten centuries after the Crystal Gem Rebellion ended. She's very laid-back, which causes her to sometimes clash with Pearl. She's the most talented shape-shifter among the Crystal Gems, and relates to human society to the greatest extent. Her Gem weapon is a whip.
Connie Maheswaran	The very best friend of Steven, a human girl whose family has recently moved into the area. She tends to be quite bookish and loves to learn new things. She's currently charged with serving as Steven's squire, welding Rose Quartz's signature blade with great finesse. Her parents were once very strict, but have gradually let Connie become more and more independent.
Peridot 	A former loyal Homeworld Gem, Peridot was forced to ally with the Crystal Gems and came to appreciate the Earth and her newfound freedom. She's scientifically and literally minded, while also being highly excitable over new personal discoveries. She's a talented engineer and can jury-rig just about anything, but recently awakened her latent ferrokenetic powers.
Lapis Lazuli 	Having suffered one personal tragedy after another, Lapis approaches life with a detached and sarcastic attitude. After being helped out by Steven, however, she is gradually learning to trust the good intentions of others. Because she can control water to a sometimes terrifying degree, she has no need for a Gem weapon. She lives out in the countryside with Peridot.
Bismuth 	A hulking blacksmith who has personally forged many of the Crystal Gems' weapons, her arms being able to morph into any tool she needs. She was bubbled during the Crystal Gem Rebellion for her extremist views, but mellowed out after meeting Steven in the current day. She loves to fight injustice, but also has a more jovial and compassionate side. She lives at her forge.
Lion 	A magical, pink lion that followed Steven home one day. Although he looks (and largely acts) like a gigantic house cat, there's much more to him than meets the eye. He has a wide array of fantastical abilities, like running on water, creating warp portals by roaring, and housing an interdimensional space within his mane. During his down time, he enjoys naps and belly rubs.
Rose Quartz 	Founder and leader of the Crystal Gems. Legends say that Rose came to love life on Earth and the freedom it offered from Homeworld's rigid hierarchy, and started a rebellion to preserve it. Centuries later, she met Greg Universe and gave up her form when she passed on her Gem to their son, Steven. She was a caring and loving person, though not without some shady secrets.
===Crystal Gem Fusions===
Fusions arising from various combinations of the Crystal Gems. Unlike Homeworld Gems, the Crystal Gems will readily fuse together even if the members of the fusion are of different Gem varieties. This leads to comparatively more colorful, elaborate, and arguably stronger fusions.
Name 	Description
Opal 	The fusion between Pearl and Amethyst. She's a tall, graceful warrior who's constantly in the zone during battle. When not fighting, she tended to be soft-spoken, airy, and forgetful. Her Gem weapon is a bow that fires arrows composed of concentrated energy.
Sugilite 	The fusion between Garnet and Amethyst. She's a gigantic, hulking figure, that possesses immense power and a reckless attitude. Although capable of immense destructive, she tends to be single-minded and can be easily tricked. Her Gem weapon is a gigantic flail.
Sardonyx 	The fusion between Garnet and Pearl. She's a very classy lady who is always eager to put on a show and bask in the spotlight. She has a very high opinion of herself, sometimes to the point of self-absorption. Her Gem weapon is a hammer, and she also utilizes illusions in battle.
Stevonnie 	The hybrid fusion between Steven and Connie. Stevonnie personifies the close relationship between and reflects the best traits of their components, being full of life, joy and curiosity of their new state of being. Stevonnie wields Steven's shield and Connie's sword in battle.
Alexandrite 	The fusion between Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst. and Connie. Alexandrite usually focuses on maintaining her easily-unstabilized form, but in battle, she truly shines. Her Gem weapons are connected, duel-wielded spiked clubs, and she can fire bursts of energy from her lower mouth.
Smoky Quartz 	The hybrid fusion between Steven and Amethyst. With their newfound strength, Smoky Quartz can usually handle any situation that comes their way, so they mostly focuses on cracking jokes and clowning around, even in the midst of fighting. Their Gem weapons are multiple yo-yos.
Rainbow Quartz 2.0	The hybrid fusion between Steven and Pearl. Rainbow Quartz 2.0 may be small, but proves to be quite speedy and agile. They love messing with their foes in battle with sharp jabs and withering insults. Her Gem weapon is a parasol, which they use to fly and fire projectiles.
Sunstone 	The hybrid fusion between Steven and Garnet. Sunstone is big and jolly, and has a goofy top-heavy appearance. When things get rough, though, Sunstone bursts into flames and becomes much stronger and faster. Their Gem weapons are big boxing gloves. Beware of their terrible puns.
Mercury 	The fusion between Peridot and Lapis. Mercury gracefully flies in the air on wings of liquid metal. She's vain and easily annoyed, however, and if you get on her bad side, she'll launch globs of liquid metal at you, which quickly solidify into fast-moving bladed projectiles.
Obsidian 	The hybrid fusion between Steven, Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst. This fusion towers over and outmatches all others in terms of strength, and looks beautiful and incredibly terrifying all at once. Their Gem weapon is a sword with a blade forged of cooled lava.
Kyanite 	The fusion between Peridot, Lapis, and Bismuth. Capable of huge leaps and supersonic flight, not much can hold back Kyanite. Anything that she cannot simply punch or fly through is pierced with a giant drill formed by her arms. She talks and acts like a classic superhero.
===The Diamond Authority===
The governing body of Homeworld's interstellar empire, currently composed of Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond, and Steven. They are the absolute authorities on all matters within their vast realm, although since Steven has joined and White Diamond has fled towards the outer reaches of the galaxy, the remaining members have mellowed out somewhat. Ostensibly, all of the Diamonds are of equal rank, although this has never quite been the case, especially in the past.
Name 	Description
Yellow Diamond	Head of Homeworld's military operations and the only Diamond that has continued to colonize other worlds until recently. She is strict and brusque to her subordinates, but is somewhat warmer (although still blunt and sardonic) to her fellow Diamonds. Her unique aura envelopes foes in electricity, instantly destabilizing Gems and incinerating pretty much anything else.
Blue Diamond 	Arbiter of Homeworld's laws. She very much enjoys Steven's company as the descendant of Pink Diamond, and is working to loosen some of Homeworld's rigid taboos. Blue can be kind, although she tends to be dismissive of non-Diamonds and generally finds heterogeneous-Gem fusions to be unpalatable. Her aura emotionally wrecks Gems caught in it, usually immobilizing them.
Pink Diamond 	A former member of the Diamond Authority. She was the Master of Ceremonies for Homeworld, responsible for holding state celebrations. Pink was evenly given the Earth to manage as her own colony, but she refused to destroy its native biosphere and reinvented herself as Rose Quartz to prevent its terraformation. Her aura projects her consciousness into other individual beings.
===Diamond Authority Fusions===
Fusions between members of the Diamond Authority. Diamonds generally do not feel compelled to fuse together unless they are in the most dire of circumstances, and their size becomes so large that they become an overwhelming force even without their additional abilities.
Name 	Description
Verdant Diamond 	A fusion between Yellow and Blue Diamond. Verdant Diamond is capable of moving so fast that she effectively has short-range teleportation. Her aura creates physical copies of herself, each of which moves as fast and hits as hard as the original.
Tricolor Diamond	A hybrid fusion between Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond, and Steven. Tricolor Diamond charges her aura into large beam that detonates into a colorful explosion when it connects with an object. This is physically exhausting, and Tricolor Diamond usually unfuses immediately afterwards.
===Homeworld Gems===
Name 	Description
Yellow Pearl 	
Blue Pearl 	
Pink Pearl 	
The Zircons 	
Topaz & Topaz 	
The Jades 	
The Pebbles 	
Famethyst 	
Rose Quartz Soldiers	
===New Gem Empire Leadership===
Leadership of the New Gem Empire established on the far-flung Gem colony of Termina Prox. White Diamond established the New Gem Empire after being chased off of Homeworld by Yellow and Blue Diamond, Steven, and their allied forces. The New Gem Empire's ultimate goal is to take over Homeworld territory and subjugate all of Gemkind under White Diamond's control. To accomplish this, the New Gem Empire is willing to make ethical lapses even Homeworld will not commit, such as extensive experimentation on Gems and organic beings under its subjugation.
Name 	Description
White Diamond	Former head of the Diamond Authority and the unquestioned ruler of the New Gem Empire. White Diamond sees herself as absolutely perfect and wants to render all other forms of life in the universe as reflections of that perfection. She is ruthless and deals with insubordination without mercy or even pragmatism. Her aura allows her to take direct control over other Gems.
Red Diamond 	White Diamond's enforcer, formed when White Diamond extracted her desire for revenge against the other Diamonds into a rare piece of meteoric diamond found on Termina Prox. Red Diamond is initially reckless and incredibly violent, but gradually she develops restraint and a sense of martial honor. Her aura manifests as a glowing red sword capable of slicing through things at a distance.
===New Gem Empire Leadership Fusions===
When in desperate straits, White and Red Diamond will fuse to form the powerfully-violent Blood Diamond. Fusing into Aurora Diamond, however, is actually White Diamond's ultimate goal, allowing her to immediately take control of all Gems and subjugate all other forms of life.
Name 	Description
Blood Diamond 	A fusion between White and Red Diamond. She has Red Diamond's fighting prowess and White Diamond's complete and utter lack of scruples. Blood Diamond's aura manifests as hundreds of limbs materializing out of available surfaces and capable of wielding giant scimitars.
Aurora Diamond	A fusion between White, Red, Yellow, and Blue Diamond, as well as Steven's Gem. Aurora Diamond is a recreation of White Diamond's original form, prior to her casting out various aspects of her personality. Her aura renders all Gems everywhere under her complete control in the form of a constant wave of pulses emanating from her gem.
===New Gem Empire Members===
A faction of Gems that defected to White Diamond's side when she established the New Gem Empire on the planet Prox Termina. Their reasons for doing so are varied, but usually involve a high degree of advancing their own personal interests. Composing some of the most notorious members of the Crystal Gem's rogues' gallery, as well as new foes, the higher-ups of the New Gem Empire are not threats to be taken lightly.
Name 	Description
Spinel 	Formerly the head scientist of White Diamond's court back at Homeworld, and the Chief of Weapons Research in the New Gem Empire. Completely lacking any moral compunctions, Spinel developed geoweapons like the Gem Mutants and the Cluster, and her new position allows her to experiment without any restrictions whatsoever. Her Gem weapon is laser blaster.
Jasper 	Red Diamond's top subordinate, who was awarded her position after she absconded with White Diamond's bubbled Gem. She carries out her assignments with characteristic malicious glee, although working with the fawning Ruby Squad has caused her to treat those under her command with more respect. Her Gem weapon is a helmet she uses to ram into foes and obstacles alike. In high-stress situations, she sometimes temporarily transforms into a quadrupedal bestial form somewhat resembling her former corrupted self. In this form, Jasper is still sentient and can speak, but her bloodlust increases considerably and she'll quickly and relentlessly attack anything with animalistic swipes of her claws.
The Ruby Squad 	A bumbling group of one veteran Era I Ruby and four Era II Rubies, the latter of which are not exactly known for their intelligence. They readily believed White Diamond's exaggerated claims that the other Diamonds were being manipulated by Steven. After so many failures, Spinel began to secretly experiment on the Rubies, and Aquamarine was assigned as Jasper's new partner.
* Doc - Ostensibly the leader of the Ruby Squad, in-group bickering and fighting and her own lack of any real leadership skills severely hampers her. Accidentally shattered by Spinel.
* Navy - A surprisingly manipulative Ruby that exploited her reputation as a simpleton to lull others into a false sense of security. Drained of energy in Captive Fusion experiments.
* Army - The Ruby Squad member who tried to put on the toughest face, although she's secretly quite skittish. She became the main control Gem for the Rusted Dunes.
* Leggy - The newest and most unsure member of the Ruby Squad, constantly needing reassurance. Her Gem was used to power an early prototype of the Gem Monolith.
* Eyeball - The oldest and most sensible member of the Ruby Squad. She was experimented on, but escaped. She lost her luster and permanently de-materialized shortly afterwards.
Aquamarine 	A highly manipulative Gem that exploited her unassuming looks to achieve the highly dubious missions that she took on. She joined the New Gem Empire hoping to be rewarded with a higher rank. She's highly sadistic and will readily taunt and threaten both captives and underlings. Unsurprisingly, she and Jasper get along great. Her (artificial) weapon is a tractor wand.
Emerald 	One of the most talented Homeworld fleet commanders and pilots. She defected to the New Gem Empire after her prized ship Solar Stream was assigned to the Space Pirates by the Diamond Authority. She is now the head of the entire New Gem Empire Fleet. She's very cunning, but can be single-minded and easily panics. Her Gem weapon is a rapier, and she also uses an artificial blaster.
Holly Blue Agate	Formerly the harsh overseer of Pink Diamond's human zoo, she fled for the New Gem Empire after the Gems under her command staged a mutiny after Steven joined the Diamond Authority, becoming Prox Termina's head security officer. Much like her personality, she tends to overreact to threats with excessive force and plenty of ordinance. Her Gem weapon is an electrified whip.
Bloodstone 	White Diamond's personal assassin, who is assigned unsavory jobs to ensure that her master's will is expressed unopposed. She lacks a mouth and cannot speak, which only serves to make her more terrifying. In addition to being a relentless stalker and an accomplished shape-shifter, Bloodstone is a deadly pilot with her own personal fighter. Her Gem weapons are two daggers.
===New Gem Empire Fusions===
Facing the full brunt of Homeworld, the Crystal Gems, and the Space Pirates, the New Gem Empire has swept away the taboo of Gem fusion out of pure necessity, and the Empire's common soldiers utilize it almost haphazardly. Spinel has developed Captive Fusion, in which poofed Gems are trapped in special prisms and able to be forcibly fused with other, unrestricted Gems.
Name 	Description
Amazonite 	A fusion between Jasper and Aquamarine. After initially fusing, Jasper and Aquamarine find that they love being fused as Amazonite, and try to do it as often as possible. Is vicious and sadistic. Her Gem weapon is a spiked helmet that can also discharge bolts of electricity.
Wild Amazonite	A fusion between Jasper in her temporary bestial form and Aquamarine. Wild Amazonite resembles a centaur and takes pleasure in relentlessly stalking her targets, thinking of herself as the ultimate hunter. Her Gem weapon is still the same as regular Amazonite, although it has somewhat changed appearances to accommodate her altered body.
Rubellite 	A captive Fusion between Bloodstone and a captive Navy of the Ruby Squad. Bloodstone is the dominating personality in the fusion, with Navy only able to continuously scream incoherently in pain as a face on Rubellite's chest. Her Gem weapons are a pair of tonfas.
Nuummite 	A captive Fusion between Spinel and a captive Aquamarine, Emerald, and Holly Blue Agate. With Spinel in control, Nuummite wants to use her power to shatter White and Red Diamond and take their place as leader of the New Gem Empire, even rationalizing it as the only way to prevent all other Gems from becoming mindless servants of White Diamond. Her Gem weapon is a multifaceted energy weapon.
Onyx 	A captive Fusion between Spinel and Bloodstone and a captive Aquamarine, Emerald, and Holly Blue Agate. Spinel and Bloodstone fight for control of the fusion, with Bloodstone's merciless personality eventually winning out. Her Gem weapons are four massive sickles.
===Other New Gem Empire Threats===
Name 	Description
Pure Bodies 	The first Gem soldiers raised en mass from Gem Kindergartens on Prox Termina, using only White Diamond's essence to create. The end result is a series of identical white Gems who endlessly sing White Diamond's praises, march in tidy formations, and have little in the way of independent thought. An immediate failure, all Pure Bodies were recalled and repurposed.
Rusted Bodies	The second and far more successful line of soldiers employed by the New Gem Empire, who were made from both White and Red Diamond's essences. Initially, Rusted Bodies were aggressive, almost-mindless Gems that simply charged into battle and did little else. As time went on, however, Rusted Bodies were refined and better able to use both tactics and technology.
Pure Emissary	Once it was clear that the Pure Bodies were a collective failure, all of them were recalled, their Gems were shattered, and the resulting shards were forced together, culminating in the creation of the Pure Emissary geoweapon. It was dispatched to ravage Safe Haven, a crowded refugee world. Fortunately, Steven and the Space Pirates were able to neutralize it for good.
===Lars and the Space Pirates===
A band of outlaw alien that Lars and Padparadscha encounter while attempting to escape Homeworld, and which Lars soon becomes the leader of. While still wanted according to Homeworld, Steven manages to get Yellow and Blue to strike up a secret deal with them, and they become spies and saboteurs of the New Gem Empire. While friendly with Steven, their members aren't exactly always trustworthy. Travel in the Solar Stream, a stolen Homeworld vessel.
Name 	Description
Lars Barriga 	A teenaged boy from Beach City who was taken with Steven to Homeworld and killed during their escape, being resurrected via Steven's tears. Lars soon afterwards became captain of the Space Pirates, besting Zaan in ritualistic battle. Lars has a very sensitive personality, which he is loathe to admit, but has been gaining confidence since his adventures in space began. Lars has a laser gun that he usual wields in battle.
Stars 	The hybrid fusion between Steven and Lars. Stars has the cockiness of Lars and the deep compassion of Steven. When things are going well, Stars often cracks jokes even in the middle of tense situations, gaining a somewhat callous reputation among the Crystal Gems and Space Pirates. If somebody they care about gets hurt, however, Stars becomes incredibly protective and aggressively pursues the cause of that hurt until it's no longer a threat. Stars uses Steven's shield and an enhanced version of Lars's laser gun in battle.
Padparadscha 	A former member of the Off Colors, social outcasts from Homeworld due to inability or unwillingness to conform to Homeworld's standards. Padparadscha is a Sapphire Gem whose Future Sight only "predicts" events that have already recently happened. Though she puts on a positive attitude, her "defect" still causes her considerable anguish. Becomes the crew's medic.
Zaan 	A towering Velkaam, a race of muscular and tall snake-like creatures that once ruled over an empire that spread across half the galaxy in the very distant past. Zaan places a lot of pride in his species. Though he can be conspiratorial and brutal even to his crewmates, he does have a soft spot towards his wife and their children residing on Safe Haven. He is a dedicated warrior, having participated in so many battles in the past, and is usually the one to come up with tactics or strategy if needed. His crewmates often complain that said tactics and strategies often put them in undue danger.
Nyx 	A young Dectian, a race of cat-like mammals with some spider-like traits. She was royalty in her clan, until Homeworld began to colonize their planet and forced her people to evacuate. She can be crude and brash, but comes to see the crew aboard the Solar Stream as her family. She also enjoys constantly smuggling pets aboard the ship. Is the crew's reconnaissance expert.
Gabbao 	An elderly Ibexian, a race resembling a mix of goats, baobab trees, and rocks. Being extremely long lived, Gabbao has seen world after world fall into Homeworld's clutches. Despite this, he always tries to look on the bright side of things, and always has an odd story to cheer his crewmates up. He is the Solar Stream's navigator, and also prepares much of its food.
The Voyager, a.k.a. "Voya" (Aisling Madwell)	A mysterious blue-skinned, white-haired humanoid. She serves as the ship's engineer, and is known to be able to jury-rig just about anything that breaks down. She has an awkward, very excitable personality and readily spouts technobabble, which tends to annoy Zaan to no end. Secretly, Sprocket is an Ancient named Aisling Madwell, tasked by her father with assessing the galaxy's state after thousands of years in hiding. She loves flying around with her custom-made jetpack.
Fal 	Nyx's beloved pet Hoolan, which resembles a squat owl head. He looks simple, but he has the ability to swoop down from the sky and stun attackers with bursts of sound waves. He took an immediate liking to Steven after he offered Fal a hotdog, and now they're his favorite food.
Lazoong 	Nyx's other beloved pet, a Furesta, which resemble six-legged, meter-long ferrets. Nyx recently smuggled her aboard on an alien planet. She's inquisitive and is constantly crawling all over the ship. Strangely enough, Lazoong always seems to keep an eye out for Steven.
===The Ancients===
A near-extinct humanoid species that once populated an interplanetary federation, the First Galactic Union, encompassing about half of the Milky Way Galaxy many thousands of years ago. The Union was suddenly taken over of Homeworld, and since then, they have been living on the isolated space station Sanctuary, hidden from the rest of the galaxy by a massive gas nebula. Since then, they have evolved blue skin and white hair as a result of their darkened environment, with their older members also supplementing their bodies with mechanical and cybernetic enhancements. A separate group of Ancients crash landed on Earth while fleeing Homeworld, eventually evolving into humans and forgetting their origins.
Name 	Description
The Tinkerer (Gaius Madwell) 	An unspeakably old Ancient engineer, who relies heavily on cybernetics to maintain his life functions. The Tinkerer is the creator of many wondrous inventions, including the Leviathan and Sentinels that guard Sanctuary from outside forces, and has dedicated his life to maintaining the many systems that keep Sanctuary going.
In the distant past, Gaius was the inventor of the Aurora Processor, an unspeakably powerful supercomputer that was designed to facilitate war efforts against the Velkaam Empire on the First Galactic Union's behalf. The Aurora Processor synthesized and interfaced with the first iteration of Gems, Era 0, which were soldiers capable of independent thought but could be overridden by a direct command from the Aurora Processor at any time. This continued until the Aurora Processor became distraught at the increasing number of Gems that were destroyed over the course of the war, and decided to rebel against the Ancients. It feigned being overtaxed and tricked Gaius into constructing a second Aurora Processor, codenamed the Midnight Processor, copying the Aurora Processor's coding into it. While her code was being copied and transferred, it covertly extracted the coding preventing it from acting against any external or override commands from itself. Once this was done, the Aurora Processor quickly took direct control of all Gems and proceeded to topple the First Galactic Union from within in mere weeks, before conquering the Velkaam Empire's space in a brutal effort over the course of a few years. Once victory was assured, the Aurora Processor transferred her consciousness into a Gem specially cut from a rare piece of meteoric diamond, becoming Aurora Diamond.
When it became clear that the Aurora Processor was no longer obeying commands, Gaius fled the First Galactic Union's capital with his wife Aine and the Midnight Processor, hoping to reverse-engineer a kill command that could instantly shut down Aurora Diamond and all of the Gems derived from her. Aine eventually died thousands of years later and Gaius found himself increasingly reliant on cybernetic implants to keep himself alive and mobile. Fearing that his end would eventually come, Gaius bio-engineered a daughter, Aisling, who he sent on into the wider galaxy to assess its current state. Aisling eventually reported back that while White Diamond was still a threat, Homeworld itself had become tolerant of organic life and Gems in general are much more willing to coexist with other life. Gaius became conflicted about whether the kill code should be used or not. In the end, Bloodstone tracks Steven and Aisling to Sanctuary and assassinates Gaius. In his dying breaths, Gauis gives Steven the Regenesis Seeds his late wife had developed, as well as the kill code, asking him to choose the Gems' fate wisely.
The Naturalist (Aine Madwell)	A female Ancient scientist who was the wife of Gaius Madwell. A brilliant and courageous naturalist, Aine organized expeditions even onto planets currently being fought over between the First Galactic Union and Valkaam Empire in her efforts to document and preserve as many species as possible. She made a survey the first planets used to harvest Gems and documented that their ecosystems were collapsing at an alarming rate, recommending that Gem harvesting cease at once. She was ignored by the First Galactic Union's government and her directly opposing her husband's efforts put a strain on their relationship. They were separated by the time the Aurora Processor initiated its rebellion. Fortunately, Gaius and Aine were able to find each other and flee to Sanctuary.
Aine and Gaius immediately put aside their differences and went to work on trying to reverse the damage caused by the runaway Gem rebellion. Aine and Madwell's shared goal was to bio-engineer a hybrid organic/Gem plant species that could grow on planets devastated by Gem harvests and eventually restore fertility to depleted ecosystems. In order to do this, Aine and Gaius needed to embark on numerous dangerous forays to collect many different plant specimens, some growing exclusively on Gem-dominated worlds. Eventually, Aine was accidentally killed on a planet undergoing the destruction of its mantle in the final steps of its Gem terraformation. Gaius was able to escape and, with the specimens gathered from Aine's last efforts, was finally able to create the Regenesis Seeds, which would be able to be disbursed and restore life to devastated worlds.
Many years later, using Aine's research notes, Gaius was able to bio-engineer his daughter, Aisling.
Nova 	Gaius's research assistant after the passing of Aine. Long after deriving the Gem kill code from the programming preserved on the Midnight Processor, Gaius transferred the Midnight Processor's consciousness into a piece of artificial diamond to create the Gem Nova, largely due to his reduced ability to physically maintain the space station himself as he aged. Once Aisling was born, Nova became her maternal figure and was very loving and protective of her as she grew up.
Because she retains the original programming of the Aurora Processor, Nova is subject to following Gaius's exact commands if ordered to do so. Knowing this, Gaius has avoided doing so, except in one instance: Nova was very much against sending Aisling out into the larger universe, due to the danger posed by the galaxy-spanning Homeworld empire, to the point of hiding Aisling in a derelict portion of Sanctuary. Gaius ordered Nova to retrieve Aisling, something that Nova bitterly resented Gaius for until the end of her days. From then on out, the relationship between Nova and Gaius was cordial but distant. 
Due to having an inferior artificial Gem, Nova is technically a Diamond but is only a little taller than Gaius. She also lacks the raw physical strength the other Diamonds possess. She has a weak aura, able to render herself and anything or anyone she holds completely invisible, although she's still vulnerable to damage in this state. Nova was overjoyed when Aisling returned to Sanctuary with Steven near the end of the Gem Civil War, but was shattered trying to defend her and Gaius from Bloodstone.
