Homebrew Gemstone Species Details

Gems are characterized by the gemstone embedded somewhere on their body, which functions as the core of their being. They may be injured or broken, but so long as the stone is unharmed they will be too. Besides this gemstone, they take on humanoid forms via the projection of hardened light produced from their gemstone. While this projection does have a "default" form that has a consistent physique and color pallet, certain Gems may consciously and temporarily alter this form.

Gems are inherently sexless but have appearances and pronouns consistent with humanoid females. Between Gem types, “default” forms vary widely in height, musculature, strength, and color. Gems are often defined by the type of gemstone they carry, though details such as cut and placement vary within and between Gem types.
