Alright, lemme take a shot at something. · 8:55am Jul 10th, 2017
I want to write a Steven Universe crossover, starring my three Gemsonas, Selenite, Kianite, and Calcite, also known as the Nite Team, end up in Equestria after escaping Homeworld.
Problem is, I'm not familiar enough with the show's backstory and lore, and I could use some help in that regard when I start writing.
Send me a PM if you can help.
I already have bios for the three of them.
Selenite-The leader of the group, Selenite is brave and kind, though she posesses a "get-it-done" nature that can interfere with her common sense. Loyal to a fault, her trust is not easily earned.
Weapon-Warstaff
Kianite-The heavy hitter, Kianite is well known for smashing first and asking questions later. However, he is brave and headstrong, and despite his appearance as dumb, he is an expert strategist. He has four arms, and is skilled in martial arts and swordplay.
Weapon-Claymore
Calcite-Always the sneaky one, Calcite is quick and deadly. A lone wolf, he only joined the Nite Team after they saved his life multiple times. He is an expert in stealth tactics, and prefers to toy with his opponents, and then land the kill blow.
Weapon-Shurikens
The Nitemare is their ship, similar to the Great Fox from Star Fox.
lets see....
what DO you know about the lore and stuff?
we can work from there
I know the stuff that you can find on Wikipedia, like Rose Quartz leading the rebellion against Homeworld, and a few other things, but not a lot of the specifics.

Ok.
so the gems are basically a synthetic magitek species that drain life from planets to reproduce.
the gem empire itself is basically evil in the higher ups, willing to shatter (basically death but a bit worse) other gems for small slights and seeing nothing wrong with that. (and Rose/whoever was right in shattering Pink diamond, because killing evil people who are unrepentantly evil does not infact make you evil yourself)
as their forms are mad of light, they do not need to breath, eat or sleep, but can if they want (while they dont need to sleep, (though they are still capable of exhaustion, and they might not enjoy the experience of eating) they are immortal and also capable of shapeshifting, however that does use energy, although some gems might be better at it than others, and they may not be able to change their colour, and their gem must still be somewhere (although it can presumably be covered) but it can be rather complex, Amethyst in Canon shapeshifted into a functioning helicopter.
many Era 1 Gems are capable of incredible feats based on which gem they are, such as controlling water (Lapis Lazuli) or seeing into the future (Sapphire), however Era 2 gems, due to a resource shortage, are created with less abilities, such as a lack of shapeshifting, although they may still be able to have abilities that they are unaware of.
many gems are capable of summoning weapons tied to themselves, such as a spear, dagger, e.t.c
two gems of the same type can fuse to create a larger and more powerful version, while other gems of different types are also able to fuse, however they must first be in sync/be feeling extreme emotions, when they fuse they create a entirely different gem, with a new conscious and the possibility of new powers, but also the powers of their component gems, this fusion may have multiple limbs, or eyes.
this type of fusion is forbidden and looked down on by homeworlds elite, and is punishable by shattering even if it was an accident.
Homeworld is technologically advanced, and has drones, robots and teleportation devices.
will find more info later
