I spend too much time with this character. I like the idea of a Gem who’s been actually living among humans, and doesn’t just see them as a curiosity like Rose did, but actually feels more at home around humans than Gems.



Left: (Current Alter Ego) Sidney “Sid” Black. Mariner who’s been working ships from Halifax to Charleston for the last 30 years. Claims to be the son of one Norman Black (Previous Alter Ego), a Merchant Mariner active in the South Pacific from 1947 - 1985.



Right: Obsidian. One of the few surviving Gems from the war, and not on the best of terms with the CGs. Only returns to Beach City every few decades, usually just to get an idea on how the “cleanup” is going.
