“Being a particular kind of enhydro, doubly terminated quartz crystals containing negative crystals filled with petroleum, methane, bitumen, and water, are rare, though material of very good quality appears on gem and mineral fairs on a regular basis. Under ultraviolet radiation the petroleum inclusions present in the material reveal a strong fluorescent reaction.”

untitled dragonball gem au

so uh I've been having this gem au invade my brain for a while, and it mainly started with the knowledge that clear diamonds can sometimes have inclusions in them.(reminded me of someone.) as a result I ended up making three court groupings to match, and wrote up a bit of lore ideas. will I write anything for it? not yet, still have to finish chaos magic. so for now I'm leaving the au stuff under read more, uses a bit of SU but it's mostly dragon ball and original stuff.

additionally not everyone is gem or humans, they just replace a faction and two species. also none of the courts are actually unified, for multiple reasons but

key terms:

Court of Growth: the court of growth was a gem subfaction originally focused on more peaceful methods, however most of the gems created within its specifics have been shattered by the court of fury. there are currently five remaining members at the current moment. their emblem is a light green, it's shape version resembles that of a diamond with it's left and right points flattened. normally one just has the shape on their outfit somewhere. (pretty much this au's version of the tuffles/tsufarians/tsufarjin.)

Court of Fury: a militant gem court that's also been nearly wiped out, but not nearly as extensively as the Court of Growth. with only 16 members created within the group, and 2 adopted into it is much better off than the court of growth. logo is a simple red star, but just a star is more common on one. (au's version of the saiyans but also partially the crystal gems, which is explained a bit more when we get to the lore.)

Blizzard Court: the oldest court of the three courts, they have an extensive military, but not much is known on what they do. they're responsible for for wiping out most of the Court of Fury, and are feared by both courts below them. this is the only court who's emblem does not match it's founder, the reasons of which are unknown but there are theories. logo shape changes from time to time, but it always has that deep blue circle somewhere, even for the subfactions. (au equivalent of Frieza's empire pretty much)

Half-gem: straight forward from steven universe really, characters who are half gem half something else, usually they're half human.

Hybrid-gem: more than half gem, half something else. multiple genetics from multiple sources pretty much.

with that out of the way: Lore time.

The gems were originally created by the kais a long time ago, however they all chose different paths with walks of life. No action was taken against this, just like the other species in the cosmos. There’s a legend of a Kai named Zamasu being turned into an enhydro quartz as punishment for something he did, and casted down onto the gem homeworld for some unknown reason, but no one believes he’s real and simply a myth.

The Blizzard court is the oldest known court, started by an orange diamond named chilled; they chose conquest as their starting ground, leading to many things later down the line. The current leader is a magenta diamond named Frieza, his heir is Kuriza, a brown diamond. 

Originally it was run by King Cold, a Blue diamond and in that time Frieza and his brother Cooler fought to inherit complete control. However Frieza won over the indigo diamond; often when that happens the losing heir has 3 remaining choices: to be shattered (die pretty much), to go off to lead their own life within the crowd of other gems, or to create a sub faction within the court. Cooler chose the latter, creating the armored squadron. 

Should either of Cold’s heirs end up with a diamond of another court, both courts will be allied. This role is still in place as Kuriza is still considered far too young. Additionally if they end up with a gem of a lower caste, the other gem increases in rank to be a bit lower or equal, depending on variables.

The second oldest is the court of growth, once a flourishing and highly advanced court started by an unknown green diamond; the current leader a clear diamond named Bebī finds himself with only four subjects left: the clear quartz twins Kamin & Oren, originally meant to be one; inclusions cut them in half, creating a rare instance of mirror twins. Dr.Lychee an aquamarine that strangely took up science for some reason, and Hatchiyack an Iolight artificially created by Dr.Lychee out of anger.

Finally there was the court of fury, founded by a red jasper named Vegeta; it quickly became tradition to name the first heir the same, and that’s where the current red diamond of that very same traditional name finds himself. They founded themselves on fighting, at one point fighting for whomever would pay. However the court of fury found themselves fighting out from below the Blizzard court, after the previous diamond failed to fight back; additionally most of the court of fury has almost been wiped out with 16 members created within, and one who has been outcast making him a court of fury rogue. 

Court of fury rouges are rare as even their remaining created agate; a laguna agate named Cumber, often finds a use for them. So to be outcasted like Paragus the jasper, often means you have done something seriously unforgivable. Because the court of fury even keeps those like Cumber the agate, Turles the citrine and the malachite named Broly around. 

Additionally Cheelai the moss agate, and Lemo the dendritic agate are rare instances of gems being adopted into another court, in this case the Court of fury through the Emerald Broly. Often the Emerald and Malachite are referred with the prefixes “softy” and “devil” before their names to reduce confusion. The court of fury is also the only court to ally themselves with other species outside of other gem courts, with Goku the orange jasper’s human friends (plus piccolo) further sealed with Vegeta’s marriage with the scientist Bulma.

Speaking of Bulma she’s the reason half gems are capable of existing, as she figured out a way to make both dna work in a clone. Unfortunately this would be taken even further by Dr.Gero and his creations, the most notable being a hybrid gem with an Amber for a gem, better known as Cell.

additional stuff

Why do the diamonds of this au have heirs, and why do the factions have missing founders?

some of the rules and limitations from steven universe don't apply here, that includes the power system from it. pretty much an agate can shatter a diamond, just as much as a diamond can.

shattering isn't always a perma death just like in dragon ball, revivals just have more variety then in dragon ball really. additionally the original founders have a lot of other things but going through a few:

the red jasper vegeta wasn't actually named that, it was a lie he told to maintain the timeline, since he was sent back during his adventures. it's actually just Bardock, being Bardock.

if you saw the OVA Chilled was killed by Bardock, same happens here Gem!Chilled was shattered by Gem!Bardock. and it's also why marriage exists on the gem homeworld of this au, because it ensured that there was someone to take up the reigns until an heir was created, it was pretty much a rule set up early on by Chilled. (reproduction is a little different here)

finally the unnamed green diamond originally just retired, and was shattered with everyone else.

what's with the gem choices?

as I said before I was originally inspired by the fact clear diamonds could have inclusions (other minerals inside), and remembered mirror twins where a thing it could also cause if it cut through, thus lining up Bebī, Kamin and Oren.

Zamasu being an enhydro quartz was my dad's idea, we both like dragon ball and I mentioned how I ended up making Hit and Guldo Jades (I have entire sections paring characters with gems, I'll gladly provide is asked), since I couldn't think of anything else; so he brought up enhydro agate, how it could happen to quartz as well, and how it was pretty much ancient water preserved in stone.

coupled with how in the usual SU caste system quartz are just common soldiers, it made a lot of sense for the only kai I turned into a gem, if it was a punishment and why he was made something so specific.

Cell as an amber is easy to understand, it's affectively ancient tree sap; and there's many instances of bugs being preserved, coupled with the plot of jurassic park you have the perfect gem for him.

Hatchiyack being an iolight has a lot to do with the gem and character; in the OVA and game he's from he brings back Turles, Slug, Frieza and Cooler as "Ghost warriors" coupled with how his moves appear, and the ability to clone himself:

a gem with myths about being used to find things, see through the clouds, with a ghostly appearance when lower quality works really well, it's blue and purple too two of his colors on his color pallet.
