CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Lapis Lazuli
AU NAME: Lapis Losa
CANON: Steven Universe
CANON REFERENCE: Lapis' Wiki entry
AGE: 20
GENDER: Female (in canon, Gems are genderless but use she/her pronouns)
CHARACTER TYPE: Meta-human
APPEARANCE: With her blue skin and naturally blue hair, Lapis is very obviously a Meta, a fact that has lead her to truing to cover up whether with hoodies and anything else she can get her hands on to conceal herself with.
PERSONALITY: As far as canon goes, Lapis Lazuli was put through a lot, poofed in the midst of a battle, her gem trapped for thousands of lonely years before being freed left a mark on her. Did a number on her social skills too - she can be blunt.
She became slow to trust others due to her experiences being used as a tool. For her, she finds it hard to let go of grudges and doesn't always put others first, she can be quite the grump. Even so, once she is shown kindness and understanding, she will become more open to that person. Deep down, she wants a friend, after all.
She shows little confidence and more than a little pessimism when dealing with enemies more powerful than herself, her first instinct is to run, believing that putting up a fight would make things worse. She knows deep down that she would not be able to run forever... In the end, she will return to the side of those she cares about. Likely at the last second.
Another thing about her is how stubborn she can be - first with her single minded determination to return home, and later keeping Jasper trapped in a fusion with her by sheer willpower.
If she is able to deal with some of her issues, she will show that deep down she is a laid back, if distant Gem who, when feeling somewhat lazy, happy to sit and read or watch cheesy teen dramas... even dabbling in modern sculpture.
Lapis Losa's personality isn't too much different, she's not been stuck in a mirror for thousands of years, or spent months holding Jasper in a fusion at the bottom of the sea, but there still is some trauma regarding her stay in a Douman Zaibatsu owned prison. She was kept separate from human inmates and most of the time she was alone... She is quite lonely deep down as well. Her social skills are... better. Not at the least good, she's still blunt, but she's a little more considerate.
POWERS & ABILITIES: Lapis' ability is hydrokinesis, a power she hasn't completely mastered yet, currently her range is 400-500 meters distance - with practice her reach could grow. The greatest limitation is that she needs a source of water for her to manipulate, so she may want to carry a bottle of water.
She can shape water into any shape she desires, from fists to more abstract shapes like shields, weapons or even a water 'clone' if she has enough water to use, and can cool water down to ice or heat it.
Generally she can affect about the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool, and can't hold it indefinitely. After 20 mins or so, she will tire out and be forced to stop using her power. Her physical skills are best described as average, really.
AU HISTORY: Lapis was born on Dec 6, 2099 to a family that could be described as an upper-middle class family in the Middle Ward. Though she was born an obvious Meta with her blue skin, her parents did not reject her - Metahuman or not, she was still their daughter.
Her classmates were less understanding to the point that she was soon pulled out of the public school system and home-schooled by her thankfully open minded parents. This had made for a lonely childhood, despite her family's best efforts.
At 18 she was a meta-human that simply got caught at the wrong place at the wrong time during a riot against Douman Zaibatsu. Mistaken for one of the rioters she was arrested and jailed for a crime she didn't commit, languishing for the two year sentence given her and interrogated for information she just did not have and worse, experimented on.
Now free, she was content to simply take a dead-end job and hide away, but being obviously a meta-human given her blue skin made her options... limited. Throwing her lot in with the NSO was the last thing she wanted to do, feeling it'd just paint a target on her back for being remotely involved. Perhaps in time she may become more willing to aid the NSO...
