Citrine (vultureking)

Citrine is a gem made genetic hybrid between a citrine gemstone and a scorpion. he was a gem experiment in the homeworld labs to develop a toxin that can work on gems but he was treated horribly and one day he used his deadly power to break free from the evil clutches of homeworld. as a criminal against homeworld he was forced to retreat to a desert planet that he eventually became the guardian of.

## appearance

as the genetic hybrid of gem and scorpion he possesses many of the characteristics of the notorious arthropod. he stands at 7.2 ft tall with an extremely muscular build. instead of just two eyes he has 6 eyes each in a dark orange color with black pupils in the center of the eye. he dose posses a mouth but he also consists of a pair of chelicerae that allow him to break off peaces of the food that he eats. although his right arm has a normal hand his left arm has a scorpion claw at the end that is powerful enough to crush stone. like all scorpions he as a long tail with his signature stinger at the end consisting of a gem toxin that can kill any living organisms in minutes. although he looks like he has skin he has an exo skeleton that is strong enough to reflect bullets but isn't powerful enough to stop blades without taking damage. his gemstone is orange in the shape of a skull on the bulge of his stinger.

## personality

because of his Hideous appearance from being a gem hybrid many people fear and hate him just because of the way he looks. no mater what he tries to do to make up for his hideous appearance he seemed to never be able to redeem himself. he spends a lot of time in solitude because of the way people treated him but all the time alone maybe him stronger as he would always train alone and would also tinker with the equipment that he used long ago the break out of his capture making him extremely technology gifted. although he is very kind hearted and misunderstood he is rather moody because of his solitude and is shown to have a bit of a short temper especially when someone he cares for is in danger.

## back story

citrine was originally created as a form of test subject for the development of a venom that can effect not only living tissue but also gems. he was created by genetically mutating the shards of a citrine gemstone with the genetic signature of a yellow fat tail scorpion from earth which they used to create him. during the years in the home world labs he was constantly tested with his toxin and physical abilities which many tests. most of them involved injecting different objects with his venom as well as testing his raw force with his claw. one day in the lab a young lab assistant named carnelian was to take a sample from him of his toxin so citrine was restrained from moving  at all. carnelian had a small vile with a cover that citrine would have to inject into but unfortunately in the lab bellow a small explosion from a failed experiment caused the floor to shake and for carnelian to lose his balance. carnelian ended up falling and his arm got stung by citrines stinger. it apeared as though he barely got pricked or injected but within 2 minutes he lied dead on the floor. eventually one of the scientists came in to see the damage and they all blamed citrine for murdering carnelian.

from that day on in the labs they would constantly restrain him in testing and would constantly beat him or torture him if he spoke out of term to any of the scientists and sometimes they would torture him just for the fun of it. after 10 years of his constant abuse and torture he couldn't take it anymore and decided that he would break free. since he was in the labs for many years he knew every single exit, entrance, and pathway inside of the laboratories. so one day when they were going to take a venom sample from him he managed to get his tail free and knocked back all of the gems who were restraining him. guards rushed in armed with guns and blasters all aimed at citrine and they all opened fire on him. citrine thought it was over but the shots didn't damage him so he completely went Berserk on them with his brute strength and his Venomous sting completely wiping them out. he managed to use some of the equipment in the labs to his advantage and finally with his strength, wits, and rage he was a gem but was force to live the life of a criminal on the run.

## strengths and abilitys

superior strength: because he his constant testing and training citrine was developed to be etreamly stong manageing to life objects way more then what he ways as well as being able crush stone with his scorpion claw

Venom: because of his hybrid genetics from the scorpion he is left with a deadly venom that is even able to affect gems since he was created with the genetic structure of a gemstone. his venom is strong enough to kill in minutes which makes him extremely deadly to brawl against.

Scorpio's: just because he is always alone doesn't mean he doesn't have someone to back him up. in the labs they genetically altered the venom so when is strikes something that isn't living tissue or gem it instead creates a miniature clone of himself known as a scorpio. they aren't as big standing (only 4.0 ft tall) or as deadly as citrine is and there venom can only paralyze enemies for a short period of time rather then killing them. but in numbers they are proven to be a great threat.

Intel: because citrine grew up in a lab he was able to learn about technology from watching them even if he wasn't aloud to actually use the equipment. he saw it develop and kept it in memory so he could use it to his advantage. he eventually was able to create his own technology when he got free including his signature vehicle.

## weapons

Poison Dagger: the main weapon that he can summon from his gem is a long dagger that has the tail of a scorpion as the handle with a long black blade. although the blade alone is quite dangerous citrine was able to tinker with it and was able to make the blade venomous to whoever got cut. the blades venom is as strong as his own venom which makes it a double trouble when he has it out for battle.

Throwing Knifes: this weapon was actually created when there was a lot of scrap peaces left over from some of his inventions. he managed to forge the metal together and crafted them so he could be able to throw them any time he needed to use them. like his dagger he was able to find a way to use his venom in the weapon which makes them even more dangerous when hit by these flying blades.

Kunai Chain: the kunai chain his citrines favorite weapon even if it is not designed to do much damage. he simply forged one of his blades from his throwing knifes and attached a chain to it allowing him to strike for a far. but what make this weapon so useful was that he was able to tinker with it and rather then putting venom on the blade he instead made a small mechanism that would allow the blade to spread open once it impaled a victim allowing him to pull them closer for the real kill.

## fighting style

citrine is able to use his brute force and venom in battle which makes him so powerful. but he also likes to use his head in battle, rather than wasting his energy he lures them into a trap to get the kill. because of his that he consists of he is able to bring the pain with his many weapons that he tinkers with making him a smert in battle.

## relationships

Topaz: topaz was the only one who actually showed him kindness of any sorts and because of that citrine considers him as a freind. topaz dose seem to care for him since he seemed worried when a gem opened fire on him wich dose show that topaz may care for him as a friend
