Carnelian (Apple Papel)

Carnelian; This page used to be sphene, But. Don't tell anyone. I just wanted to... Quietly disintegrate him. Er, Her, Now.

## Appearance

Carnelian Stands at a prominent (By Human standards) 6'7", Dressed in Scarlet Robes, Hemmed with Silver, from figurative head, to literal toe, A Similarly colored Shawl wrapped around their shoulders and reaching down to her Upper-Torso, A thin Hood over her head, The garb mostly covering her dimly Red, Though mostly pale-white, Skin, Additionally just barely allowing her to see past it. Her hair reaches just past her shoulders, Changing from a dim silver, near the base, to a vibrant, Bloody, Crimson, At the tips. She has a complete and utter lack of shoes, A notable feature for my often heavily overdressed characters, And one of few places where her skin is visible, aside the bottom half of her head and her hands, Up to the wrist.

## Personality

Carnelian comes off, primarily, As psychotically cold in nature, and for good reason, at that, Being generally devoid of emotion for those of whom she deems lesser, Although not entirely lacking in compassion for others, quite thankfully. She spends most of her time on the distant homeworld-controlled colonies, Given her current profession of Kindergartening™.

## Abilities

Carnelian has a standard array of Era-1 Gem Abilities, Not limited to Superhuman strength, And being adeptly light on her feet. Her weapon of complete-lack-of-choice is a Silver Sword's Hilt, Adorned with a Scarlet-Crossed Pommel, The weapon acting as a physical gateway for a wide-array of Ethereal Blades And Lack thereof. Her primary source of both defense and offense is her Limited Photokinesis, the psychic ability to control visible electromagnetic radiation, emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons. She is fully capable of generating, bending, shifting, focusing, scattering and/or generally manipulating light to various degrees and effects, Although unable to distort or damage Gems' Physical forms without directly engaging them for whatever reason.

### Ethereal Blade:

Her primary means of engagement are to first summon her Hilt, And then a blade of which suits the situation, The length nor width of which can handle extreme degrees of warping or stretching without vanishing entirely. This grants her an edge in most combat scenarios, Allowing her to quickly change her weapon without much of a penalty; Though, Doing this too often may result in a complete lack of usability for a short while.

### Particle Beams:

A secondary, ranged, way to engage an opponent, Carnelian, at will, may concentrate Light Particles into kinetic projectiles, moving at incredible speeds for a brief while, instantly distintegrating upon hitting a target and projecting the garnered energy into them/it, although being mildly inaccurate and unable to remain bound at further distances, causing the projectile to hopelessly scatter into harmless photons. Usage of this skill will gradually drain One's stamina, Resulting in deft use for the most part.

### Charged Beams:

A tertiary way to attack an opponent or structure, this being more focused on the lattermost of such, Carnelian being able to alternatively fire arcing, charged, bolts of energy, Detonating upon impact with any given surface and producing a concussive wave as a consequence, being exceptionally damaging to buildings, fortifications, and Targets unable to evade it, for that matter, This, Of course, Draining more energy than the latter ability.
