Obsidian

**Appearance**

Obsidian is a male gem with roughly the same age as as a fellow gem, Black Diamond, and is considered a wide variety of milestones and titles across both the gem, and human species. Standing at 6'5", Obsidian generally towers over others which only adds, and improves his "godly appearance" as some would say. Obsidian tends to wear generic clothing with special modifications. He wears deep blue, near black jeans, a basic t-shirt that ranges from black, to light grey, (including every shade in between), prominently displaying his gemstone that is located in his chest, a black leather-like jacket with streaks of Dark Energy that pulse through it from time to time, and steel toed work boots that work in more ways than one. He tends to keep his hair trimmed similar to his human companion, Xavier, and wears a special type of sunglasses that works similar to his helmet.

**Biography**

To contrary belief, Obsidian is officially the first gem to be created by Darkness. Though this information was made available to most of the gem race (excluding those who could not receive such information), some still consider Black Diamond to still be the first gem created. This confusion originated, and began at the time of Obsidians creation. When Darkness created Obsidian, he installed a few "barriers" both mentally, and physically that would prevent Obsidian from reaching his complete power until the time was right, then, refreshed his memory, created Black Diamond, and made everything seem as though Black came first, and Obsidian second.

Obsidian was, and still is one of the most legendary gems to reside in gemly history. He was the first gem to undergo a Reforge, fought in and won thousands of battles, attacks, and counter attacks during the War for Homeworld, was the first gem leader to make successful contact/greetings with the human race to begin creating bonds between the two societies, managed to mend and repair relations between countries and world leaders by "Bracing for impact, tearing problems out into the open, and hitting things head on", and introduced the concept of "honesty" and "practicalness" to them as well. He was the first gem to hold presidential office for 4 years to repair a broken and failing United States, and was so popular and successful during those terms that the country wanted more from him, but was denied by the Constitution. Obsidian was also responsible for ending the war between SA and the Black Patrol (Pale Patrol + Black Diamond) by killing Black Diamond directly, as well as more things that have a high probability to have been lost to time, or poorly documented.

Obsidian currently serves the Saratoga Army as their Gemly Commanding Leader, assisted by his companion, Xavier, and lives happily on Earth between his barracks within the SA complex, as well as his sub basement(s) underneath Xavier's house.
