Moonstone (Apple Papel)

Moonstone is one of the very oldest, and very first, Crystal Gems. A proud defender of the planet he call home, this Gem ceases at nothing to protect what he cares for.

## Appearance

Moonstone, as a protector of earth, first and foremost, likes to keep a suitable attire for a protectorate. His Pale Grey skin is heavily complimented by his slender frame, and relative height, standing at 711". Blue circles lay just under his Teal eyes, wispy white hair forming an outline around his lower face, though not quite a beard. A well-kept and regularly attended to head of white hair rests atop his scalp, reaching down past his ears, though not quite past his nape, fairly lustrous, though, kept in a sort of uneven dome, with some falling over his face. His common attire is a plain, Standard-Grey Button-up shirt, with the texture matching that of linen. It is, in most scenarios, fully closed up, with an imposing White and Turquoise shawl wrapped around his shoulders, that transcends to more of an open-front Robe and Cloak. These compliment a similarly colored pair of Trousers, and plain, brown shoes.

## Personality

Moonstone is, for all that it's worth, a Gem who battles figuring out purpose in his later years. He can come off as bleak, or distant, during conversations, though, he is known to be somewhat jolly when it all boils down to basic character. He holds hope for his planet, and for, one day, Homeworld to be taken down a peg.

## Abilities

Moonstone, being the scholar he is, wields a much more unique skill set. He attacks primarily with the knowledge of the ancients, and, his fellow primordial Gems, utilizing his knowledge to conjure up a deadly array of otherworldly abilities. His weapon of choice, or, lack thereof, is a *Tome Of Spells™,* A heavy Book that allows such deft channeling of "Magic", that also serves as a non-lethal deterrent for others. Its major focus is looks, being engraved upon with the Ancient Alphabet of Gems, reading to most fluent speakers, his current emotions. How useless.

### + Spell Conjuring

Moonstone can conjure a wide array of Spells, All of which seem to be colored a Bright Blue. Ranging from simple bolts of energy, to temporary Kinetic Shields, his Caste, and him, overall, remain potent users of such old magic, though, are not specifically any more powerful than any other ranged elemental with a similar knowledge of their abilities. All attacks in this manner drain his overall energy, and, too many is succession, can leave him weak and crippled, to a point that dodging is even impossible. He works best with groups, for this reason, as he requires back-up to avoid being left open.

### + Tome Of Arms

As Moonstone's primary means of close-quarters-defense, He is capable of utilizing some of his energy, in projecting weapons from his own personal Tome, most commonly sending out a glistening great sword about a foot in front of it, damaging what's directly impacted by it. As such, the weapons are only really good for immediate dangers, as they can only project directly ahead.

### - Close-Quarters

As a caster, first and foremost, Moonstone lacks any major ways to defend himself up close. He lacks physical strength, and agility, as well, being unable to fully evade the quicker attacks Gems are known to throw out like bullets. Added to his low durability, and he can easily be taken down if the gap is closed well enough.

## Trivia

Moonstone wears, in essentials, the Student's Set from Bloodborne.
