Adaman Gemstar-Diamond

> Irikins, Di. The Unity Crystals can bring peace into the world when used by someome with a pure heart. But if used by someone with an evil heart, they immediately become a frightening weapon. [glitches] (...) With the power of the Unity Crystals, I was able to seal away Reshai and Zekrias. However, there's no telling when they'll return once again. That's why I put Amelie and the egg to sleep. So in the the future, if the dragon brothers are able to break free from their suspended animation, entrust them to Yuki, so that they can help her protect the peace of the Multiverse. (...) Yuki... may your future life as a Magi be filled with love, kindness, and hope. This is my final wish. Farewell, Irikins, Di... and you too, Yuki.

Diamond manipulation

**Adaman Gemstar-Diamond** (**ダイヤモンドセキ** *Daiyamondo Seki*) is one of the supporting characters of the *Magi Galactia Magica* saga, and also the leader of the Diamond Clan. He has a rivalry with Irida Gemheart-Pearl, who leads the opposing Pearl Clan.

He is also the one who had Dialga create the Hope Crystal thanks to his stong desire to create it.

## Bio

### Appearance

Adaman is a slender 20 year-old young man with fair skin, sharp brown eyes (that have eyeliner as well as blue eyeshadow in the corners, and a small gold eye shine in the series finale and rewritten timeline), and dark blue, dirty blonde, and teal hair that is usually tied up in a half-ponytail with a single strand hanging loose. He wears a diamond earring in his left ear, and on his right arm and left palm are bandages (which are gone in the series finale) covering up scars, and his nails are painted dark blue. His Harmony Mark is a diamond surrounded by several tiny stars.

* In MGM, his outfit consists of a black hakama (with gold "veins" on part of it) under a bright blue haori jacket decorated with diamond-shaped ropes at the bottom, three gold claw marks on his right shoulder going around his back (and with the clan crest on his back), a beaded chain at his collar, a gold necklace with a diamond in it, and black boots with blue ribbons on them.
* Whenever inside the Chamber of Prayer, he lets his hair loose and wears a blue kimono-esque prayer robe with a white collar, a gold and white obi, and an ankle-length dark blue hakama. His footwear is a pair of zori sandals with white tabi socks.
* As shown in the series finale, (TBA). He now wears a bracelet on his right (instead of the left like his Parallel counterpart) wrist that has a blue flower shape flanked with angel wings -which he retains transformed - and he also has three hairpins in his hair that are reversed from his Parallel counterpart (who now has different pins). He also wears fingerless gloves to hide his scars, like he does transformed.

In his **Timeless Diamond Power** transformation, his hair remains in its usual style but becomes more vivid and his usual hairtie is replaced by a hairtie resembling a white rope with diamonds on it and a pentagon-shaped pin sticking out of the hairtie. He also gains another identical earring in his other ear to match the left one. His outfit consists of a blue long-sleeved haori (that does not look the same as his civilian one, and has several gold pentagon symbols on it) over a bright colbalt blue kimono with a midnight blue hakama and a gold obi. His obi and collar folds have diamonds on them, at his neck above his haneri is a blue choker with a diamond hanging from it, and he also has dark blue fingerless gloves under his sleeves with a diamond gem on the back of each hand as well as plain black boots. When his sleeves are pulled back, his gloves are shown to extend all the way up his arms to cover his scars. His pocketwatch hangs from a chain on his obi.

### Personality

Bold and forthright, Adaman holds the ideology of spending time to its fullest, and prefers hot-bloodedly bashing forward to do what he wants, leading to him sometimes being reckless and impulsive. However, he still is a reasonable and caring person, especially to those he loves such as Yukihime and Irida, and has a pure heart. Although he tends to hide his emotions when something seriously upsets him, he *will* get enraged if one of his Berserk Buttons is pressed, such as badmouthing "Almighty Sinnoh." Due to getting constantly sexually harrassed and stalked by Joy, he also becomes terrified to leave his home and soon hires two muscular bodyguards to ensure his safety.

He also takes the sacredness of items and places such as the Unity Crystals and the Chamber of Prayer very seriously, as shown when he as a spirit possesses his daughter and speaks through her angrily telling the dragon brothers that the Unity Crystals are not to blame for chaos and wars and that it is them alone who are to blame.

### Relationships

* **Irida Gemheart-Pearl**: As shown in their debut episode, they did not get along at first. However, they end up secretly falling in love despite it being forbidden, and Adaman often sneaks to the Pearl Settlement to go see her. After their clans resolve their conflict after finding out there are actually *two* Almighty Sinnohs, he also starts calling her "Irikins." In the series finale, no longer being separated by death, they can finally be together and are married.
* **Yukihime Amethyst**: His daughter who was magically-created for him and Irida before his death. While he only sees her for a short time before his death, it is clear he loves his daughter very much as shown when he (as a spirit) finally is able to properly meet her 14 years later and has a conversation with her and her friends. In the rewritten timeline, due to his and Irida's marriage, they conceived her the normal way instead, and she is shown to be very close to him.
* **Joy Candyheart-Cherrysnow**: Joy has a massive crush on him, much to his extreme annoyance, especially when she runs towards him whenever the Clan leaders appear and calls him "Ada-ko." He soon becomes so sick of her stalking that he hires two muscular bodyguards to thwart her attempts to get close to her. She is so obsessed with him that she even seriously invades his privacy by walking in on him relaxing in the bath and taking pictures of him while his bodyguards were on break, and even proceeds to sneak into his house and *rape* him while he's sleeping, resulting in her getting pregnant with her daughter Millie and making her terribly regret it and get over her crush. However, he forgives her right before his death, saying he doesn't have the heart to hold a grudge forever, and in the series finale, they are now close friends.
* **Elizabeth Dreamsun-Storybook**: While they never met in the original timeline unlike their Parallel counterparts, in the series finale, the two of them are now shown to be very close platonic friends just like their Parallel counterparts after he met her when she was a 4 year-old crying over her spilled ice cream like her Parallel counterpart, and are shown coming into the meeting together in the series finale. As a result, he has also supplanted Nova's position as her closest friend.

### Etymology

* His Japanese name **Seki** likely comes from "hoseki," meaning "jewel."
* His Japanese surname is the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "diamond."

## Skills

It is shown that his personal magic involves diamonds (even being able to make them any shape he wants such as sharp shards) and he can attack with them transformed. While he can make diamonds in any color he desires, if he does not consciously have a color in mind, they will default to colorless or blue. Being an ally candidate, he also has the ability to hear Pokémon talk, like Chosen Ones, and is also exempt from being frozen in time when the Vertexes attack.

Much like how Irida can hear Palkia's voice telepathically, Adaman can hear Diagla's voice telepathically. In the rewritten timeline, like his Parallel counterpart, when joining hands with Irida and Nina, he can also help perform the group attack Unity Power when he calls out his incantation, "Hope Power!".

Somehow, similar to the holoCouncil, and Aurora, he is also able to use Harmonic Flash (called Jewel Flash in his case) despite not being a Chosen One.

### Known spells

* **Diamond Punch**
* **Diamond Kick**
* **Diamond Sphere**
* **Diamond Embroidery**
* **"Brilliant Diamonds! Adaman, *Jewel Flash!"*** - Adaman's Harmonic Flash, which he is able to use despite not being a Chosen One.

### Timeless Diamond Power attacks

* **Shining Diamond Rush** - His first TDP attack that requires his diamond wand based on this staff.
* **Diamond Edge** - His second TDP attack that requires his diamond dagger based on this dagger.

## Pokémon

* **Forrest the Leafeon** - Adaman's partner Pokémon.

## Taking care of

* **Diana** - A cat-like Dream Animal who is colored black. She is Adaman's Dream Animal partner, and gave him the spells Diamond Punch and Diamond Kick. She is back to being his partner as of the series finale.

## Items

* **Adamant Crystal/Adamant Orb**
* **Arc Phone**
* **Timeless Diamond Pocketwatch** (activated with the phase ***"Timeless Diamond Power, Make Up!"***)
* **Hope Crystal** *(stores his life energy in a physical form and kept at the Chamber of Prayer with the other two crystals)*

## Design notes

* "Keeping Seki's fashion sense was a must, hence the sparkling diamonds lining his obi and collar. His diamond choker and diamonds on his gloves also keep things from looking too plain. Same with the gold pentagons."
* "Unsurprisingly, since Seki is quite insecure about his scars and loves being warm and cozy, I went with a comfortable and modest outfit that hides his figure and prevents any part of his body from the neck down (besides his fingers with the fingerless gloves) from being subject to ogling... especially by Fuchsia."
* "His normal ponytail hairtie turning into a hairtie made of rope and sprinkled with diamonds is a little nod to his fashion sense as well. It also brings to mind the ropes on his civilian outfit, and the vivid shade his hair turns fits with him being the bold type."

## Profile

***Adaman** is the leader of the Diamond Clan, and believes the true "Almighty Sinnoh" rules over time, which often gets him into fights with Irida, the leader of the Pearl Clan. While he can be a little impatient and rash at times, and is not a Magi like her, he's also a very caring and trusting ally. Helping others is never a waste of his time.*

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*

* Before he sacrifices himself after Yukihime is born, he puts Amelie and the egg containing Lightheart into suspended animation using the Unity Crystals and entrusts them to Irida to awaken when their daughter becomes a Magi.
* Originally, unlike his Parallel counterpart, he was planned to remain deceased even in the series finale. However, this was changed so that he is now alive and semi-immortal in the series finale. This leads to a few changes:
	+ He and Irida are now married.
	+ *Both* Yukihimes were now conceived and born normally instead of the Prime one being magically-created since her father never died.
	+ He and Elizabeth are now very close friends, leading to a few changes such as her now also having a diamond scrunchie from him that becomes a headband transformed, and her earrings transformed are now small diamonds instead of white spheres. She now also has the Prism Rod expy and the Shining Jewel Storm attack as a result of her scrunchie/headband summoning it. Adaman himself also now has a bracelet as well, but unlike his Parallel counterpart, the bracelet instead has a blue flower flanked in angel wings.
	+ The prime Unity Crystal trio can now use Unity Power as well due to all three members being alive, and Parallel!Adaman only has the Parallel Adamant Orb while he has the prime one. In fact, unlike the original timeline, the trio discovering the skill like their Parallel counterparts (combined with being successfully convinced by and actually listening to Irida this time) to seal away the dragon brothers is what kept him from dying.
* Some of his quotes are based on Queen Serenity's quotes, making him somewhat of an expy of her... the irony being he's a *dude*.
* Like Irida and Nina, his life force is directly connected to the Unity Crystals (specifically the Hope Crystal for him). If anything happens to it, he also will suffer the same negative effects.
* Being 20 years old at debut, Adaman is one of the few adult characters in the series to either be a magical warrior or (in his case) have a magical warrior-like transformation, which he first gains in the *Dialga, Palkia, and the Fate of the Multiverse* movie.
* His favorite foods are potato mochi and Akabia pods.
