I always thought that in a Gemcyt au mumza would be one of the diamonds and knowing that in @sixteenth-days fic lizzie is pink diamond I have a cool idea
one character from empire
one character from dream smp
and one character from hermitcraft
They could be 3 of 4 diamonds
Since in empires season one lore lizzie was a demigod and Kristin is a goddess I think the choice for the hermit diamond should also have a popular divine interpretation within the fandom
My problem is that I don’t know a lot about hermitcraft so in the past when I thought about it I just put grian in the role because he was a watcher which is an other worldly being that is kinda a god
But he is an aquamarine so I would appreciate if hermitcraft enjoyers could share their ideas and say if any body else aside from grian has a popular headcanon where they are a god or something
Of course just mention me or something
Pearl Goddess of the harvest and farming her title was literally the farmer pearl and in the past people kept track of harvest by looking at the phases of the moon and positioning of the constellations
Lizzie the trickster goddess of the ocean and government ocean because in season one she was a fish goddess and government because in season two she was a mayor and in both she is a scam artist trying to make a profit through morality ambiguous means
Joel god of thunder and art in canon he is the god of thunder and if anyone in empires was a art god it would be the guy that sculpted clones of himself and built stratos/mezalia
Katherine goddess order and balance and duality she fights evil by transforming from the pretty pink princess to the axe wielding warrior and as lady Katherine of the overgrown she is the one that is neutral the one that Try’s to keep order
Jimmy is The god of death for obvious reasons
Joey is the god of wealth and desire because he is a pirate and pirates like gold also he steals from false and really wants to get in xornoth s pants he also Katherine’s (understandable)
Shubble is the goddess of nature and the wild because her whole wolf thing she had going on in the first season of empires and the infected outlaw thing she had in season 2
Scott god of the passage of time and the four seasons (and rainbows) because he has connections to flowers (spring) in life series and stars in origin smp and winter in empires smp
Pix god of messengers and prophecies( he is in charge of the recaps that gives people information they might have missed also he is a prophet)
Fwhip god of fire and revenge because in both seasons of empires he has had a stubborn heated rivalry with jimmy and did not take the break up well also in art his hair is fire truck red
Gem goddess knowledge and magic because she as the wizard gem she is a powerful magician and because as the princess of dawn she teaches others about the sun god also the wizard gems empire is literally a school
Sausage love and family and lust because he is know for his platonic love (Hermes and Eddie and pearl) and let’s say his passionate spicy love( pole dancing and flirting)
Oli god of music and insanity he is a bard and who’s words make zero sense to everyone and watching him you get sensory overload ( he is the oldest but nobody believes him)
false goddess of mystery and adventure and new beginnings because she is lost her memory and is a very adventurous person also do to the lost memories she basically started from square one when she came to empires
Jimmy is called the the sheriff and the weapon he uses is a lasso the twist is that he was trained to use guns and Hand to hand combat from a young age but not a lasso as a result he makes a fool of himself getting tied up all the time by his own weapon so it shocks everybody when ever he picks up a gun or does anything else he’s been trained to do for most of his life
in the western movies he would watch as a kid the cowboys would use lasso’s so he decided to use a lasso and base his theme off of cowboys
even after he finds out he has fish powers he still dresses like a cowboy so if you where to see him in action you would be treated to the sight of a cowboy straight of of an old western controlling water and talking to fish like he’s aqua man
Like the flock in cannon they named them selves
grian called himself pesky because that’s what the scientists called him do to him being the most difficult to control
Pearl was fade or shadow or something if anyone has a suggestion for it please share anyway it didn’t last long before she decided to change it to pearl but the reason for her original name was because when ever the scientists would talk about her power they would mention how she would blend into the background
Jimmy was canary because they didn’t have anything to really say about his personality and power because he was like 5 or something he didn’t have fleshed out a personality yet and even though he was the youngest which did cause him to be difficult he wasn’t as difficult as grian and he also didn’t have powers yet so the others called him by the bird the scientist said when they talked about his wings
martyn was similar there wasn’t anything that stood out other then what bird he was so his family called him wood because he has the wings of a wood pecker
after they escaped they chose new names that would allow them to blend in for and help keep the scientists from finding them
pearls the only one that kept her name it was passable as a name a normal girl would have at birth the reason she’s named pearl was because one of her only happy memories that didn’t involve her siblings in the lab was when she asked this janitor lady about some jewelry she was wearing and the lady told her about where she got it she probably got it as a gift and it wasn’t even a real pearl but that janitor gave her proof that there was a world outside the lab filled with gift giving people like the janitor
I think in lore there’s a reason behind why jimmy’s final death in limited life was due to falling from the sky
The watchers were extra pissed at him for trying to defy them so they made it so jimmy an avian with the canary curse who they made unable to use his wings for the game fell from the sky
They killed him in a way he would have been able to avoid without there involvement they also found it fitting for someone who had a curse named after a bird died in a way that reminded him of birds it was them rubbing salt in the wound
My headcanon for the fusion between Jimmy and grian is that they are only able to fuse when they are flying together because it is the only time where they are in sink enough to fuse
at any other time their fusion dance would result in a being to unstable to function but their shared love of flight is something they have in common and it is what unites them
I love the idea of them doing a fusion dance in the sky because they are two of the only three in the cast that can fly and thus are the few that can fuse like that
Also Because of this Whenever the bad boys all fuse grian and jimmy have to go up and fuse first then their fusion goes back down to fuse with Joel who can’t fly

I believe that eret was time travel that forgot they were a time traveler
If eret is a time traveler that forgot then it would explain why foolish the immortal claims to know eret from along time ago while eret claims to not know what foolish is talking about
Eret is also known for there giant castle and both the other side and the in between are giant castles why is that connection related to the theory well if you remember it was said that the time travelers memory effects the appearance of the two worlds and since they both look like castles that means eret has been in castles during there adventures and so even though they forgot most of there memories they still have an attachment to castles
Another part of erets character that could be a holdover from there past as a time traveler is the museum and there mission to preserve and collect information about important events that have taken place on the Smp
Etho was the golden boy everyone hyped him up because out off all the campers he had been training for the Longest
Etho was abandoned at camp when he was only 4 and has been training for years
unfortunately he never got claimed
Until recently when he was finally claimed by geras god of old age and suddenly as a joke everyone pulled a 180 and started claiming he was washed up
First some explanation
The color of a gem can give you a good indication of what their personalities are because of the way gems are made by the diamond putting their essence into their creations resulting in the gem inheriting looks powers and personality traits from their creator
All the diamonds contribute to gem making process so a single gem usually is a combination of diamond traits it’s just that the mixture is uneven so the diamond that contributes more is the one that they get more from
An example of a gem that is a mix of multiple diamonds would be holly blue age she is a light blue with purple hair meaning the diamonds who’s essence was used to create her are pink white and blue
if it is a green gem then they have similar personalities to and even look like blue diamond and yellow diamond just like a red gem would be like pink diamond and yellow diamond
Powers and roles are also a good way to glean information about a gem
blue gems are elites that can control water and ice they are mellow but they let their emotions stew and spill over
Yellow gems make up much of the military and are technicians they are rational dutiful but also blunt
Pink gems are immature but empathetic the roles they take are entertainers and artists they seem to have an easier time shape shifting (their is a theory I’ve seen that they have fire powers but pink diamond never demonstrated it despite gems with pink essence having that ability)
White gems are perfectionists and self centered and are very high ranked
white gems or gems that are lighter shades of the colors have high positions the lighter blue gems are higher than others(aquamarine and sapphire) while the darker shades or mixed with to many different colors while valuable are not as high on the hierarchy( lapis and holly blue agate) also dark yellow or gems that are a yellow combo with pink and blue are common soldiers but topazes are a lighter shade of yellow than other yellow gems and also have a higher ranking than jasper who is orange
So Color is a good thing to keep in mind when making a gem au
Using the information we can guess what their factory settings are
Jimmy is a blue gem but is lighter than the average lapis and a little bit of green so if he was hit with a rejuvenator then I think his base personality would be like the sheriffs from empires season 2 but the negative traits turned up
From white he has a I can do no wrong attitude
From yellow he gets his stubbornness
From blue he gets petty ness and elitism
It sounds worse than it is he acts like an upper crust gem only sticking around because grian is a higher ranking than him but he ignores the lesser gems and gross organic life surrounding him
In order to get him back they need to jog his memory and for use to figure out what needs to happen to get him back we should make a back story here is my take
As soon as he emerged he was placed in a group of lapis they acted very much like mean lapis and nice lapis from the show very snide with lots of high school mean girl energy
but after he majorly screwed up on a terraform project he was sent to reeducation and when he returned they turned on him he became an outcast on the other side of the snide remarks
and because of that realization once he reformed he made a change to his form by adding a veil he tried to hide his face out of shame but he also had hope that if he tried to get back in to the group he would eventually be excepted back but no matter what he tried he messed it up
After three major failures the empire had given up on him and he was to be harvested but fortunately that was where he met a captured rebel martyn who he bonded with
While they were waiting to be harvested they joked around and martyn made a joke about jimmy but to jimmy’s suprice he was not hurt by it because it didn’t feel malicious and like he was excluded
he found he liked being the butt of the joke and opened up so when other rebels came for martyn Jimmy was offered a place on the team
Cut to current day and he doesn’t have his memories so In order to jog his memory he needs to get a slice of humble pie which won’t be hard to pull off because he is naturally clumsy but it can only be done by grian
Because if he is humiliated by a gem he sees as bellow him then he will pretend he didn’t hear the comments but if it is by an equal or superior then he will move on to the vail stage
Then he will progress the veil stage and to get back his memories he needs to be put in a situation where he is emotional done and is with a gem lower on the totem pole that makes fun of him and he is ok with it
