PATH: Writing, Creative Works, Projects, And More; SU OCs(you are here!);
With Steven Universe being perhaps my favorite show, it may be no surprise that I have made some OCs for the show. I made some OCs when I was thirteen and fourteen, but those were pretty bad, and maybe I'll talk about them some later day. So instead, this covers some OCs that I made after getting back into the show in Summer 2025.
| Gem OC Crew |
| Fire Opal |
| Marcasite |
This crew all was first concieved when I was creating my Gem sona, and working on her story. As I was working on her story, I set up the idea that she gained a crew to help explore the universe. And I was continuing to make the crew, I ended up adding crew members that were either based on my favorite gems, or were ideas that I had thought of, and wanted to see sort of played out. Some of the decisions were further influenced by conversations and jokes held between me and my friends
Once Era 3 began, and Homeworld stopped invading other worlds, and began changing their society, the crew decided to visit Earth for a bit to learn more about the planet, along with learning more about the Crystal Gems, and the new gem society on the planet.
Whether or not this is the entire crew is something that I have not figured out yet, and heck maybe the other Gem OCs could be part of the crew, but for now this is what the crew consists of.
Carnelian was the gemsona I created for myself that ended up starting this crew.
She was a qyartz made to serve Homeworld, and that was a position she was fine with, but as the millenia went by, and as she kept on living to serve her leaders, she would start to question the system of Homeworld, especially once she heard of the stories of Rose Quartx, and became a firm believer in free will, and that you must do the things you want because you want them, not some higher authority, and you must build that life for yourself. Because of this, she defected from Homeworld's forces, and while she was on the run, she gained a crew of gems who began to think similar to her. Together, they stole a ship, and began to explore the universe, often going to uncolonized worlds, and exploring the organic and natural life on those planets. Acting as the ship's captain, she looks up to the stories of Rose Quartz, seeing them as an example of someone who fought for the freedom of people, and allowing them to choose their own fates.
Lapis Lazuli is the crew's calculating pilot. She's more calculating than her crew mate, Peridot, but also has a bit of a habit with having a hard time trying to figure out decisions on time, and doesn't like to be put under a lot of pressure. She also has a habit of flying around planets to get a good close look at it, and is curious about the fauna that resides there.
Peridot is the crew's main technician. While she can be calculating, often she's incredibly impulsive, and acts based on emotions, and is incredibly jumpy, often pulling her weapon for fire when she thinks somthing is about to attack them. She does have limb-enhancers to help her operate various tasks, but she doesn't like to use them all the time, and would rather live without them.
Sapphire is the crew's quiet and somewhat impatient navigator and advisor, who uses her powers to help predict whether or not their next missions would be a success. She was born rather unique among the sapphires as she was born with her gem over here eye. Because of this, she could hardly see, but used her future vision to help her move around and see where she could go. It was because of this disability that she was given a Pearl to help guide her, and this same Peral would join her along with the crew. The two of them are very close, but Sapphire is willing to let PEarl leave for a bit to go on her own journeys on the planets they encounter.
Pearl mostly joined the crew because Sapphire was joining them and she didn't want to see anything bad happen to her, but even then, she's happy she did so anyway as she had made new unlikely friends. She helps to assist Sapphire to move on occassion, though her main role on the ship is to make sure the weapons and shields of the ship are still functional. Whenever the crew lands on the worlds, Pearl likes to explore them, and even interact with the life on the planet. Sapphire is perfectly fine with this, and even enjoys seeing her have this kind of fun.
Fire Opal was a Gem OC I created when I wanted to make a gem based on what an Opal could've been like, and once I did some research on Opal, I learned of the Fire Opal, and I, someone who loves fire, decided to make a Fire Opal, and I think my love for Lapis seeped through, and I created a fire equivalent to Lapis Lazulis.
This was a Gem OC that I had difficulty working on, but was able to finish during OC-Tober.
Marcasite is a Gem who came to Earth because she was interested in learning about human culture, and so she's been going across Earth, observing humans, and collecting various items and accessories that she finds, and stores them inside of her gemstone.
