Mobian Gems

Mobian Gems are a Mobian race that could theoretically exist if the events of the Cartoon Network show Steven Universe had occurred in a Sonic continuity similar to the pre-sgw Archie Comics.

== Biology ==
Due to mutations and mixing caused by the Gene Bomb, Mobian Gems do not have the same biology as their counterparts from Steven Universe. While their bodies are still made of solid light projected from a gemstone and they're still capable of fusion with the expected amount of duplicated body parts, their dna is severely diluted as a direct result of the Gene Bomb, resulting in a reduced maximum lifespan from near infinite to only a few thousand years, the need to consume organic matter to maintain enough energy to survive, and, most fortunate given they don't know how to build injectors, the ability to reproduce without artificial assistance.
Despite the changes caused by their history, Mobian Gems can still shapeshift, and they retain a lack of separation between male and female and almost universally present themselves in a manner that some would interpret as feminine.
For reasons that I'm not gonna bother making up because honestly I only did this so they wouldn't look exactly like humans or overlanders with pretty rocks embedded in them, Mobian Gems take on the appearance of an anthropomorphized version of their respective class's monster form.
==Types==
Like their counterparts in Steven Universe, Mobian Gems are split into several types with distinct appearances and abilities. As Mobian Gems are based on the appearances of corrupted gems, only ones with absolutely verified gemstones matched to corrupted forms within their show of origin are included in this list, even though all Gem classes from Steven Universe would theoretically be present. Links coming soon.
* Quartzes
* Nephrites
* Tourmalines

==Religion==
Due to genetically-encoded memories of the time before the Xorda Attack on Earth, Mobian Gems worship their own Mobian Diamonds—particularly Chaos Diamond and her closest kin—as though they were gods.
==Base of Operations==
Mobian Gems mainly live and operate in the city of Gempire located on the east coast of Northamer. The Chaos Diamond Palace and many other notable Mobian Gem locations are found there.
==History==
After the Xorda attacked the Earth, Gems who had been living on the planet at the time underwent the same genetic mixing and rapid evolution experienced by the animal kingdom.
Around 10,000 years ago, early Mobian Gems gathered in eastern Northamer and founded the city of Gempire. They eventually started to explore the rest of the world, but retracted back to their home city after a disastrous encounter and brief war with the Albion Knights of Aurora 9,000 years ago.
After that, aside from the occasional exile and outcast, Mobian Gems remained within their own city walls until Robotnik's reign forced them to leave scatter in fear of being rounded up and used to power his machines, with many using their innate shapeshifting powers to hide as mobini in the wilderness. Despite this, many were still captured and contained anyway and misused with no regard for their personhood, even by heroes who were unaware.
Soon after Robotnik was destroyed by the Ultimate Annihilator, Mobian Gems started to return from hiding, alerting the Knothole Freedom Fighters to their existence as some of them passed through the newly-reclaimed Robotropolis on their way back to Gempire. Unaware of the misuse of their own kind, the Mobian Gems agreed to an alliance with the Freedom Fighters and later the Kingdom of Knothole.
