Pyramid Peridot

Description

Since Peridot is my favorite Steven Universe character and that peridots had a long history with Ancient Egypt, with one example being that it's said that they are actually the gems Cleopatra wore instead of emeralds, I felt it would be interesting to make a fan character of the her species.

Name: Pyramid Peridot


Rank: Aristocrat

Personality: Resorsful, Imaginative, Strict, Serious, Organized, Orderly, Respectful and Responsable though she can also be bad tempered towards hostiles, is rather stubborn with her traditions and some of the time she goes into her own little world with her obsessions.

Likes: Company, Order, Routine, Fine Architecture, other gems who give her respect, Egyptian History and Mythology with her favorite Egyptian God being Horus due to certain events.

Appreciates: Her fellow Peridots who she sees as sisters as well as the palace she and her fellow Peridots worked together to build.

Dislikes: Isolation, Chaos, The Unexpected, Devistated Ruins, those who treat her and her kind like filth, Historic Inaccuracies (though with a few exceptions).

Despises: Silicone Antiverse (arch-nemesis). 

Abilities: Possesses Metal Powers much like the rest of her species which she has trained herself in using the tools needed to add the final touches, art and monuments to her palace build by her paid workers. However, due to hostiles, she and her sisters also had to resort to using their metal powers to wield multiple weapons since their own physical combat skills are poor. 

Gem: Triangular like the rest of her species and is placed on her chin.

Weapon: Khopesh

Description: Pyramid Peridot, along with others of her species, started as simple technicians that abandoned the order of the Diamonds and went into hiding from their tyranny.
They fortunately evaded the corruption of the Homeworld Diamonds by taking refuge in a gem kindergarten that was build over the ruins of a demolished Egyptian settlement. With no one to give them orders, Pyramid Peridot and her crew had the time to learn about the Egyptian remnants and using their metal powers to wield the tools needed at their disposal, they decided to build their own settlement within the area, leaving their Homeworld past into obscurity with the exception of a few hieroglyphs. 
Pyramid Peridot became so fascinated by the Egyptian way of life that she explored Egypt to learn more which helped inspire her creativity to work with the other Peridots in constructing their own miniature dynasty. However, Pyramid Peridot herself became a Noble and founder of her group instead of Pharaoh, believing that her society would work better in an equilibrium where she and her sisters can work together, rather than standing at the top giving out orders. For millennia, these Peridots prospered in their small community and their progress continued to raise more impressive structures and works of art praising the Egyptian myths in a functioning society. So for a while, Pyramid Peridot believed that peace would be as eternal as the Egyptian gods themselves...
And then Silicone Antiverse suddenly reared her hideous mugshot, as if out of nowhere, and ferociously went on a rampage, trashing the entire place and shattering Peridots like a deranged wild animal! Outraged by this defiler, Pyramid Peridot and her sisters were forced to train their metal manipulating skills in the art of telekinetic combat to fight off the vicious assailant until they managed to revert Silicone back into her fake gem and seal her in a scepter! Once they did so, they locked her away in the deepest and darkest of the catacombs inside a stone tomb, graffitied with hieroglyphs demonizing Silicone as a loathsome fusion of the chaos god Seth (Set) and the demon serpent Apophis (Apep) with Pyramid Peridot depicted as Horus slaying her! Unfortunately, the scepter was stolen by desperate robbers during a time of famine and drought that struck the humans living nearby. Whatever happened to the thieves was unknown and Pyramid Peridot didn't bother to hunt them down, believing that Silicone's presence in her area actually caused the harsh conditions at the time.
Yet her belief in Silicone bringing forth plague to her society became less far fetched as her palace and town started to decay and crumble. It turns out that Silicone's impurity actually poisons the land just as badly as the Kindergarten Injectors. With her home in ruins, Pyramid Peridot and her crew search across Egypt for the right place to start a new settlement. Little did they know that they are going to need to join forces with greater, more powerful groups, as Silicone had emerged from her counterfeit gem and is starving for vengeance!
