Ammolite is a gem war machine that is designed to kill. He is often tasked with putting down rebellions for the diamonds. Ammolite is often portrayed in an antagonist role, though on certain occasions he will join forces with the protagonists in order to combat a larger threat.

## Personality

Ammolite is portrayed as cold and ruled by logic, likely due to his mechanical nature, he shows no morals or humanity, and he often holds no grudges unless it benefits him.

Despite this he believes that the diamonds, despite their flaws will run the galaxy best, and deems any potential challengers to that power unworthy to rule.

Often when it seems that he takes a moral path, it's because it's more convenient than simply choosing the immoral choice. However, he is willing to betray this logic if the decision caters to his Ideals.

## Appearance

Ammolite is a tall figure in white armor covered in scar marks, with a blue inner ring on his left pauldron, and a yellow inner ring on his right pauldron, with a pink piece running through his torso to connect the two rings.

His helmet has two protrusions on top that are similar to horns. His arms are also armored, with his gem exposed at his right wrist (albeit protected by some sort of blue field)

Ammolite's arms, feet and back showcase many holsters and sheathes that hold his arsenal of weapons. Ammolite's gem is rectangular in shape, with an emerald color.

## Capabilities

Ammolite's armor is nearly indestructible to ordinary weapons like bullets, piercing weapons (Aside from the breaking point) and blunt weapons, allowing for it to shrug off incredibly heavy artillery without taking much damage.

This is however, weakened with extreme temperatures, allowing for weapons to damage and pierce the armor. Despite his nearly indestructible armor, Ammolite is portrayed as a tactical and efficient fighter, allowing for him to defeat most opponents in one on one combat, preferring to take down his opponents with finesse rather than brute strength.

Along with the aforementioned ice and fire weaknesses, Ammolite cannot harm any gem and must obey with a higher caste than a topaz, electricity temporarily stuns him, and he has an extremely limited power source that drains over a matter of hours.

He showcases an arsenal of weapons as well, Including a scythe constructed from a Prism alloy, a crossbow that fires destabilizer bolts, chisel-like knives that are designed to shatter gems and various other traps and weapons.

## Story

### Backstory

Ammolite is implied to have once been a regular quartz, this changed when he volunteered for the project that gave him his armor, he would still remain mostly gem, but over the many millions of years that went by, Ammolite's original self was changed and forged into the current ammolite.

### Magnum Opus Series (1 - 3)

Ammolite has a minor role in the core narrative of magnum opus and it's offshoots, appearing as a minor antagonist at first, and becoming a protagonist later on.

Ammolite debuts in magnum opus by preforming an inspection on the human zoo, eventually making his way to a seedy brothel, where his pilot would die from an unknown cause, he attempts to fly the ship himself, but crash lands on earth, after defending a homeworld base from some combine soldiers, he sets off once again.

Only to crash a second time, this time near mount Rushmore, where he is coincidentally ambushed by Ben, Brynlee, and Steven, Being captured in the process. He is kept cryogenically frozen for a short while, before he's interrogated by ben, he gets frustrated and shocks him excessively, causing the restraining bolts to fry.

A fight ensues, Ammolite escapes. Shortly after this, Ammolite is once again sent to a hostile and frigid world, where he would meet an assassin who would attempt to kill him, this fails, he interrogates the assassin, leading to him learning that white diamond tried to send the assassin to kill him.

This causes ammolite to (Quite out of character for him) betray the diamonds and join the rebels, Ammolite arrives at rushmore once again, telling them the situation. Ammolite would scout another crashed ship, coming across a gem named frosted agate, a fight ensued, which ammolite is implied to have lost. Ben helps him back to the base, and MO1 is canceled. MO2 and MO3 do not pan out, with nothing of note happening in either.

### Lucid

Ammolite is initially a part of the incursion sent to exterminate earth, however, once he encounters steven, that changes. Due to steven's diamond heritage, Ammolite is forced to obey him, through this quirk of fate, he defects from homeworld, though, on his own account this was temporary. This forces him to join forces with the crystal gems to fend off the invaders, Ammolite purposes using the corrupted gems to buy them some time, and with some resistance from steven, the plan is put into action. Ammolite would then go to challenge molech on the hilltops, and Lucid is cancelled before that concludes.

## Opinions

### Steven Universe

Ammolite views steven as the antithesis of his ideals, considering him a destruction of anything sane and orderly, he views steven's rule as too relaxed, that it is unable to preform the basic functions that the diamonds were able to do before. Ammolite views steven's pacifist nature as a weakness, something that can and will be exploited, He felt that it was his duty to return the galaxy to (In his eyes) Peace and stability.

### Choko

Due to the actions of the Legendary eridium and draconium (A rebeliion that had occurred very early into the diamond's existence), ammolite holds great disdain for choko, viewing her and the State she leads as enemies of the diamond authority. Though he does hold some respect for her as a leader, greater than steven.

### Suji and Tsubaki

Ammolite has a relatively neutral opinion of them, viewing them as an obstacle to overcome, or a potential ally should the need arise. Though he views their relationship as a weakness to be exploited, something to use against them if they ever stood in his way.

### D.D

Ammolite considers D.d a reliable ally, he has great respect of her that is fairly uncommon, the reason for this is unknown, Some theorize that Ammolite views her as a kindred spirit, some view it as a tool to keep her close, regardless, Ammolite seems to hold her opinion in higher value than the average gem.

### Phazonite

Ammolite believes phazonite to be an incompetent leader that lost what chance he had to pose a threat when he was banished, leading a cult of incompetent fanatics that know little of combat or diplomacy. He does believe certain parts of phazonite's ideas have their merits, but that it was heavily outweighed by an inflated sense of superiority.

### Star Sapphire

Ammolite thinks star sapphire's egotistical nature and avarice driven motives to be a very inefficient and volatile combination, viewing her as an unreliable ally at best and filth to be disposed of at worst.
