Abilities


Dravite wields the ability of geokinesis, or the ability to manipulate earth. More specifically Dravite's control over earth is focused on rocks, minerals, and other forms of mineralized matter originating from a planet's crust and mantle. Dravite's geokinesis also gives her great sensitivity to the composition of the ground beneath her if she focuses enough. With her lacking any form of weaponry, Dravite instead utilizes her geokinesis to give her a rather flexible array of tools to assist and defend herself. She can create a myriad of shapes and forms from the earth depending on exactly what she's trying to perform whether it be travelling, seeking shelter, or simply occupying her time with mental stimulation. Dravite can also control the density of earthen rocks and minerals to suit her needs when she deems it appropriate



Main Mission


Designated to scout out prime locations for kindergartens to take root as well as valuable ores for the crafting of weapons. Even to the present Dravite continues to search for rich areas of earth to shape and prepare for kindergarten use with that being the only task she knows.



Bio Summary


 


Dravite's purpose was that of a simple worker, a gem designed to facilitate the advance and growth of the Gem Homeworld on other planets. When earth was discovered and colonized she and her fellow Dravite Touramlines were charged with searching the planet for locations that would create successful and bountiful kindergartens. For centuries Dravite worked like a good gem, knowing her task as she as she and her sisters searched over the earth for the most prime locations to begin the foundation of a kindergarten. Countless forests, planes, and other forms of sprawling flora were swept away as Dravite and her fellow kin worked to shape, mold, and warp the ground to bare rock perfect to start the growth of more gems within the fertile planet's crust. She didn't know what harm she was doing to the earth and how she was helping to sap it of life, but in those early centuries Dravite didn't really care as her purpose was that of simple labor.



When the crystal gem rebellion broke out, Dravite's purpose shifted from forming the basis for kindergartens to assisting in creating fortifications for Homeworld forces. The change of work didn't bother Dravite too much, the gem never seeing combat as she followed the orders given to her, but as the war began to shift  in the rebellion's favor Dravite found herself being placed closer and closer to the front lines. Previously silent areas being prepped for a battle changed into active encampments, and further still changed into clashing battlefields. As Homeworld's hold on earth waned further and further Dravite found herself placed into battle as well. Being meant for heavy labor Dravite and her sisters' forms were certainly formidable in stature, but she wasn't meant to fight, she didn't know HOW to fight. Regardless though, she followed the commands given to her as she fought the increasingly obvious losing battle against the rebellion. The last memories Dravite has of the rebellion was another battle, herself losing badly, and a crushing blow to her body sending her down a deep ravine as her bodily form dissipated and she retreated into her gem. How far she fell Dravite didn't know, but light became scarce, and the world around her became silent.



How much time passed after she retreated into her gem Dravite didn't know, but upon awakening she found a world that wasn't what she knew. From the ravine she'd fallen into Dravite found battlefields of fallen gems. The war had been won, but by what side she didn't know. Nothing of homeworld origin seemed to function, areas she remembered shaping for kindergartens stood untouched, and existing kindergartens sat corroded by time. The realization that those she'd known were gone either shattered or having fled back to homeworld and that now she was quite possibly all alone on a planet she knew nothing about as a simple working gem struck fear into her. The information of her current situation was too much for Dravite to process, and so she clung to the one task she knew: shaping the earth.  Dravite was fulfilling her purpose, and such knowledge kept her sane over the centuries, but time also brought with it a blur to the exact definition of her purpose. Without any directive Dravite found her purpose of working begin to shift from simply creating barren swaths of stone and rock to also working the earth's form into shapes, constructs, and objects for the reason of...well she really didn't know. Fast forward to the present day and Dravite has found a somewhat odd form of existence. She continues to create swaths of barren earth for the never-to-arrive kindergartens, but at the same time she makes an effort to create something from nature that doesn't destroy it, often times right next to areas she's cleared into rocky outcroppings, as if seeking to keep a balance of sorts also for reasons she doesn't fully understand.


Personality Rundown


Dravite is one of few words, her life as a simple worker of rock and earth leaving her with little reason to talk or converse. The gem prefers doing what can be done when a situation calls for action, and patiently awaiting what will come of such actions. if there's no need for a response she'll remain silent and patiently wait until a need does arise. One thing that can make her appear cold though is Dravite's tendency to act in a logical fashion, not really taking emotions into effect. This is by and large due to her never really being given the privilege of speaking during her service to homeworld, but who knows what the future holds for her.



Other Important Info
-Dravite tends to dislike areas that are devoid of prominent rocky formations since they have little with which she can utilize with her geokinesis should the need arise, but if the need is pressing enough she will stifle her wariness.
-Dravite also holds a bit of a phobia of water as she finds the ever moving and shifting currents unsettling compared to the solidity and security of firm rock.


-At the moment she is neutral in that she isn't aligned with the rebels, but isn't against them either. Dravite simply is trying to exist doing what she knows. She likely will be approachable if done so peacefully.
