Homebrew Gem Kind Species Details

The Gem Kind hail from the Homeworld Empire, a Religious-Military state, governed by the matriarchs known as the Diamond Authority. Gem society is divided by a rigid caste system, determining who you are and what you can be in life. Defective Gems (known as off-colors) and deviants are unacceptable by Gem society. The Homeworld Empire is ever-expanding in its never-ending conquest.

A Gem reaches adulthood at 18 years old, when they receive their gemstone. A Gem's gemstone is bound to them for the rest of their lives, being an essential part of their being and the source of their magic.
