I LOVE your Gems Demon/Angels AU. I'm imagining that Rose/Pink would be their mother

that's… not really how it works in this au. demons and angels in this au are still gems, meaning they are still inorganic.

the whole concept is still sorta being workshopped so take this info with a grain of salt, but how it works in the demons AND angels version of this au is that both demons and angels use life energy in order to create their own kind.

angels use life energy from the planets themselves, using things called extractors in order to get that energy. any excess energy is stored for later use, but the energy being used is combined with magic from the angel diamonds in order to create some or even a whole army of new gems. once all the life energy is extracted from a planet, it will become lifeless and hollowed out (sound familiar?) and all the rest of the living beings on said planet will die out within days or even weeks. the angels don't know this, however, because they never stick around long enough to find out.

demons use life energy from animals and humans, humans being the main target most of the time. the life energy found in animals and humans is simply refered to as spirit. how is works is that the more self aware a species is, then the more powerful (and thus beneficial) that species' spirit is. sometimes depending on the species they are getting the life energy from, more than one spirit will need to be used for a single gem. life energy is somewhat scarce for demons because of the method they use to get it. some of the peridots of this au's version of hell have come up with concepts for making more troops that don't require scavenging for life energy, but that idea has yet to be approved.

both parties in this au are in the wrong, both use methods that harm natural environments and even whole planets.
