Hello there. So I gave BeholdTheVision a pitch of my character, Gemstone, for Paragon. He adviced that I ask you, since emerald is also a gem-based character. So, here's the pitch:

So there is this woman named Aleesha, and she is part of a tribe called Scaras. The Scaras are a group of mystic people that consume different colored gems that symbolizes an element. Ruby for Fire, Sapphire for Water, Topaz for Earth (You get the idea). Obtaining a gem gives you a boost and the elemtal power of the color for a limited time. From all the elements, one stands out as the most powerful, which is the Black Onyx, that symbolizes Death. Consuming the Black Onyx will give you alot of power, but it will turn you into a monster at your own will. The Scaras can't live without gems, or they will desintigrate.

So there is this legend of a brave warrior named Naartith and he destroyed the Black Onyx along with its consumer with a fatal blow, but the impact of the blow shattered many gems and made them travel to many other places. Many Scaras have now died. The parents suspected that the shards of gems travelled to a nearby planet called Earth, so they sent they're children to Earth to be able to live and find shards of gemstones to survive.

Aleesha was one of the children that were sent to Earth, and live in Earth since. So then she will find out that she is a Scara as the story develops.

So? I guess it is kind of similar :P What do you think?
