Gem AU Hierarchy Tier-List

Mine on the left. @barsikscorner on the right (because his was just so hilarious)

Roles explained below if curious-

EDIT: I FORGOT TO PUT IN CHARMY’S INFORMATION LIKE A DUMMY SO NOW IT’S ALL THERE-

Black Doom (Black Diamond)- The diamonds obviously. The other three aren’t here since their icons weren’t in the thing. And Black Doom is the top shit black diamond lol

Knuckles, Shade and Tikal (Pyrope, Malaya Garnet and Spessartite) - Garnets. Basically commanders that are second in command to the Diamonds, lead armies or large groups of gems on colonies for their respective diamonds as Diamonds can’t be everywhere. Knuckles is the only one unaware of his role- at this point in time only 4 of them exist but this could change.

Bark (Bumblebee Jasper)- Was originally a working class tank gem but got moved up to a more elite role due to his rarity and his high amount of success. (and also due to the fact Knuckles/Pyrope was believed been destroyed before emerging from the planet so he was kinda a pseudo-replacement in a sense)

Vanilla (Petrified Wood)- An aristocratic like gem, seen as elegant and graceful and she as a very important duty. She is one of the gems charge of the production and creation of organic gemstones, serving as a mother like figure to them. (i.e. ambers, jets, other fossilised gemstones that can be found in the ground and plant like substances. she doesn’t do the water ones that goes to other roles)

Blaze (Sugilite)- A very rare gem who serves as a judge for legal cases, mostly for cases that the diamonds don’t feel the need to overlook or simply can’t due to their duties.

Silver (Moonstone)- A rare and sought out gem, serves as an oracle who uses his psychic powers of future vision to tell gems their future. There’s very few of them and are highly valued.

Wave (Phosphosiderite)- An extremely rare type of gem. Works as an elite Inventor/Scientist gem. Very prideful in her job and loves to be an overachiever to try and look better than the rest.

Espio (Charoite)- A slightly rare gem working gem. A Stealthy warrior gem that is made for specialised assignments, such as being hired by other elites to spy on gems in the darkness or to remain as hidden guards. Perfection is key for their job.

Sonic (Benitoite)- A very rare gem. They few of them that exist are entrusted to command fleets of airships. Sonic/Benitoite found his job to be unfortunately very dull, in fact he found a lot of the life of the elite class a boring existence.

Honey (Imperial Topaz)- While there is a massive amount of Topaz’s, she is considered very rare and precious for her kind and colouration. Her job is to the an announcer/reporter gem. She tries to make it more entertaining but frequently is told off and to treat it more like a job.

Shadow (Mahogany Obsidian)- A rarer variety of Obsidian. They’re usually made to be elite bodyguards and escorts to higher class gems. Shadow/Mahogany was assigned to many gems but for the longest was the escort of Maria/Sapphire whom he came to adore and care for a lot. (platonically of course)

Vector and Storm (Rainforest Jasper and Zebra Jasper)- Jaspers are made to be massive hulking tank gems. Vector/RJ is considered a rare (albeit in his case slightly defective) variation are among his batch, while Storm/ZJ is a very common variation of Jasper (who would also be marked defective due to an... incident-). Jaspers usually work in big teams and both of them even worked in a team with Bark/BBJ but they were eventually split up. Vector/Rj was assigned to be a personal guard for Vanilla/Petrified Wood, and Storm/ZJ was assigned to be a ‘guard’/’guinea pig’ for Wave/Phosphosiderite

Big (Auralite 23/Red Cap Amethyst)- An extremely rare gem that is named Auralite 23 due to their stone type being a massive mix of 23 components of different gems, and Big/Amethyst is the latest and only one to currently exist. Big/Amethyst was deemed defective due to not being the size he should be, Amethysts are quartz’s and should be smaller and more all-around fighter, while he’s the size of a hulking tank Jasper and almost bigger than regular ones. He was experimented on before being assigned to the other Jaspers to work as a Tank warrior.

Mighty (Fire Agate)- Agates are assigned drill sergeants/troop leaders, made to keep other warrior gems (quartz’s, jaspers, etc) in line and train them if necessary. Mighty/Fire Agate is deemed rare for his batch but was also deemed defective due to his pacifistic nature.

Tiara (Tigers Eye)- A Look-out/Scouting gem, made to look out and run ahead on the battle fields for enemies. They’re small but sturdy and fast. She’s not rare but still rather uncommon. She was chosen by Honey specifically to help her with assignments.

Rouge (Pearls)- A beautiful and uncommon gem type that are made to be entertainers, usually with singing and dance. They’re loved for their looks and their work but they’re not respected.

Ray (Lemon Jade)- Jades are plentiful and are made to be personal assistants, different colourations being assigned/made for high class gems that request one. Even the Diamonds have their own personal Jades. Ray/Lemon Jade is an uncommon variation.

Tails (Heliodor)- An uncommon type of middle-class working class gems. They’re made to be aircraft technicians, building, repairing and working in aircrafts, usually in massive fleets. Most Heliodors emerge with two sets of arms to aide in their duties, Tails/Heliodor was deemed a defect immediately after emerging due to having an odd pair of tails instead of the usual set of arms. He was kept from being shattered due to Sonic/Benitoite taking him under his wing and he was assigned to work for him in his fleet.

Jet (Malachite)- A slightly rare type of working class gems. Malachites are assigned to be piloting gems. Jet/Malachite was marked a defect due to his size but since pilots are needed he wasn’t shattered, he is strictly only assigned to pilot supply ship drops so other gems don’t have to see him.

Bean (Peridot)- Common working class gems. They work in construction, more so in architecture and creating buildings for other gems. They’re abilities aide them in work. Bean/Peridot was assigned to make personal living quarters for Bark/BBJ. He was chosen as the ‘messenger’ so to speak to Bark/BBJ, letting him know of plans and getting his input on what he wanted for his quarters. They bonded over time.

Marine (Sard)- Common working class gems. Small-sized and plentiful but sturdy gems that are given jobs that require physical labour. They frequently work with other gems like Carnelians and Onyx’s. They’re usually in small batches at a time and usually are made to squeeze into tight spaces for labour work.

Gadget (Carnelian)- A more uncommon working class gem type. Carnelians and gems similar to their type are huge and bulking much like Jaspers, made to do physical labour and lift extremely heavy parts for construction of large structures and machines (like injectors).

Amy (Thulite)- A common lower class working gem. Thulites are a type of maintenance worker, usually in floral decoration. Ordered to make the areas they’re assigned to clean and pleasing to the eye. They’re work was thankless however and they’re not deemed worthy of a lot of respect.

Charmy (Honey Calcite)- Extremely common low-class working gems. They’re assigned as resource hunters. Hunting down possible resources or items that could be used and using their specialised bubbling abilities to attain them. They’re seen as weak and easily replaceable so they’re not that valued.

Cream (Amber)- One of the gem types at the very bottom of the Gem-kind Hierarchy. Ambers are massively plentiful in numbers but are very weak and easily damaged, so they were made to be servant gems. Cream/Amber emerged late and is a defective Amber due to being twice as small as most Amber gems. She doesn’t know of her real role on homeworld and the others shield her from the truth for the sake of her innocence.

Nack (Hackmanite)- A very rare gem type. Their place in the hierarchy is strange as they technically don’t exist according to other gems and are a secret that only the Diamonds know about. They were made to Assassin/Hunting gems to handle the more rebellious group of gems. Nack/Hackmanite was a defect due to his size but due to their being so few was kept alive and giving limb modifiers to make his physical form appear taller.

Zero/Infinite (Black Opal)- Middle Class gems that are now very few and believed to be completely gone and outdated. Opals used to be fairly big in numbers, used for their holographic abilities, usually making hyper realistic holograms for demonstrations. That is until technology began to evolve and their gemstones were used as a powersource for a lot of that technology. A lot of the Opal gem types began to rebel to save themselves but it proved unsuccessful. Zero/Black Opal was particularly rare in his batch. He was apart of a small group of Opals whom he had a very sibling like bond with them, he was the only one to survive his batch while the others were seemingly shattered and their shards used to power this tech. So Opals are now an extremely rare find and if more happened to be found, they are to be shattered.

Others that aren’t here due to not having images on the tier list are Ix (Blue Diamond), Pachachamac (Red Diamond), Finitevus (Yellow Diamond), Maria (Sapphire), Julie-Su (Rhodolite), Scourge (Aventurine) and Matilda (Moss Agate),

If you got this far. WOW THANK YOU I LOVE YOU <3 <3 <3
