alright, so, a bit of back-story. I'm a DM for pathfinder/ D&D, I've created dozens, if not hundred of characters. and for some strange reason, i really like Steven universe, to the point where I've thought up an "original character". NOT something along the "coldsteel the hedgehog" or something, but... I don't know. I guess what i want is for someone to tell me their thoughts on him. here we go:

name: Jade Weapon: modular hammer. gem location: circular speckled green, right shoulder. special abilities: cannot shape shift. can teleport short ranges, but has disorienting headache for a few seconds afterwards.

Personality: Jade is... well, to but it bluntly, Jade is a f*** up. he doesn't like surprises, mainly because it usually ends with him screwing up. while a great combatant, if he is put in a situation where he must improvise or make decisions in a matter of seconds, he will either make the wrong choice, or screw up the right one. However, if given time to think and plan, he can easily come up with a rational solution for many problems. not ALL, though. Not to be a hypocrite, he never badgers or berates others for their faults or their mistakes. Generally friendly, He stutters when nervous, and usually is quiet around others, though he enjoys a good conversation. He doesnt think badly of other gems, and thinks somewhat highly of Rose, though is unaware of her passing.

Warps: Jade, using his own teleporting ability as a basis, created the warps that all gems used at one point. His hammer has the ability to change it's shape, from differently shaping its heads, to becoming a full-on two-handed war hammer. it's because of this that he has created a special type of crafting known as "gem forging", which has lead to the creation of the warps. the modular nature of his hammer allows him to create the beautiful gem components that make the warp, though he has had no need to make new parts, either unable to repair other broken warps, or is simply unaware of them.

Current position: Jade stays away from other gems like the plague. not because he doesn't like them, but because he's a monster. or will be, some day. if not actively thinking about something or focusing on a task, his mind wanders, and creates terrible thoughts. he'll think of ways to hurt or even kill other gems, thoughts that rationalizes violence, and ways to get away from them should they hunt him. this is why, for the last couple thousand years, he's secluded himself on some forested planet, with large trees. he's hates these thoughts that creep into his mind, and keeps himself focused and active to concentrate on other things. Jade spends his time crafting/ working. All the time. if he's not sculpting or building, he's off searching other planets for a cure to his ailment. needless to say, nothing he has found has helped him to not become a monster.

(due to the mysterious nature of the gem's history, a main draw of the show, i have kept jades history rather ambiguous, as to not conflict with continuity in the future) History: Jade had a pretty normal relationship with the crystal gems. he would normally keep to himself, gem forging for the majority of the day, but would often go out to socialize. it was a peaceful life until one day where, in a particularly heated conversation with pearl, had a "momentary lapse in sanity". Losing all conscious thought and gaining a monster-like mentality, though not physiology, he attacked the crystal gems with a raging ferocity. they held their own, nearly taking out jade, but he teleported away, and made his way to a warp. His memory of the situation still remained though, and his actions haunt him to this day.

all in all, jade is a good guy, but not perfect by any means. he means well, and would help those that he could, if not for his crippling self-doubt and tendency to screw up. oh, and the whole "i could turn into a monster at any time" thing.
