Onyx is an indifferent gem residing in an 'unknown location' on the Beach City beach on Earth with Amber

Appearance[]

Previous (Chipped)[]

Onyx is short, with darker grey skin, camo-pattern pants, brown combat boots, sunglasses, a tan tank top and a grey bomber jacket.

Current[]

Onyx has the build of a Quartz soldier, defined lips, and a rounded, upturned nose. The tops of her eyes are emphasised as if with black eyeliner, her irises/pupils are black, and her sclera is tinged gold. Her skin is a bright silvery grey. She has short, tousled, black hair with bangs that cover her right eye. Her outfit appears to consist of a dusty rose-brown leather jacket with a popped collar, a raspberry pink scoop-neck shirt, jeans, and combat boots. She also wears raspberry pink fingerless gloves with openings on the backs, and a bronze coloured ring on her left hand. The back of her jacket has a gold star on it.

Personality[]

She’s pretty unpassionate, preferring to hang back and let things happen. She goes with the flow most of the time, and likes to relax. But when she gets heated, she heats hot. It usually happens if she’s belittled. She’s also pretty territorial- specifically over Amber. She’s territorial, but not to the point of being possessive. She lets Amber handle herself, but doesn’t let anyone impose on her. She likes making jokes and being sarcastic and satirical. She finds humour in a lot of situations and can take a lot of pressure. Her laid-back, confident and direct personality with a lot of underlying compassion also gives her a sort of punk rocker attitude. She’s tough and not afraid to threaten violence if push comes to shove. She doesn’t go out of her way to be violent but, y’know, she’s not scared to be.

History[]

Onyx simply fulfilled her duties as a guard until she flipped her lid on a higher ranking gem who belittled her and got in a fight. In the altercation, her gem was chipped just enough that her physical form was limited and she ended up being short for a good amount of time until her gem was eventually healed. Amber, through a vague shenanigans-based series of events, wound up in possession of Onyx’s gem when she was destabilised. This was around the time of the early rise of the Crystal Gems. Before suspicion arose, Amber decided to flee to Earth to escape. She had heard Earth was an unusual place and figured she could start everything over when she got there. She tried to hijack a ship. On that ship, just wrapping a task up, were a pair of Labradorite who were assigned together as a scientist and a bodyguard. Eager to beat someone up, the bodyguard Labradorite essentially pressured the scientist to fuse with her, which ultimately turned out to be her downfall, as the scientist Labradorite was inexplicably enamoured with the opposing Amber, and couldn’t bring herself to land any final, or effective, hit. Both their forms were dissipated and Amber basically just put them in a room with hopes that it would keep them out of the way. Onyx reformer, Amber filled her in on the situation. They spent time together on their way to earth. They got to earth and set up base there. When the Labradorites reformed, and for one reason or another fused once more, Amber let them stay around. Until, that is, Labradorite and Onyx got into a fight, over Amber. Onyx, infuriated, initiated physical conflict, and ultimately arose victor of the battle after Labradorite fled.

At some point in time, most likely with help from Steven or the other Crystal Gems, her gem was healed and her physical form restored to full size.
