And here's the consolidated list (mostly?) All from Diamond in the Rough, character notes below cut (not in same order as pics)
Considered a few different systems for assigning gems (gemstone family, value, etc.) but ultimately just went with color/relative familiarity of gem. There’s so many cool gems out there~ (I was trying to not be too repetitive with types/use more common ones though Quartz has a million interesting varieties!)
Mega Man, Blue Sapphire Sphere I wavered a lot on his ‘trinket’, Sapphire seemed obvious (especially with Proto being a ruby, both are corundum gemstones) but also considered blue diamond, alexandrite (blue/purple color shift), and aquamarine. For the jewelry, was also considering an atomic model (for chemistry?), a screwdriver, and slightly regretting not considering circlet
Roll, Amethyst Earring: primarily always wanted amethyst, but also considered heliodor, padparadscha sapphire (but it wasn’t quite the right color? and perhaps too obscure), tanzanite, morganite, zoisite, kunsite, iolite, (purple gems etc.) For shape, was considering spikes/fangs though that’s also Treble and Punk’s lol
Bass, Emerald Snake Arm Cuff: loosely based on a real arm cuff I saw in a book. Also considered black diamond, green diamond (he’s the titular ‘diamond in the rough’), and black opal
Proto Man, Ruby Aviator Badge: I went with ruby in the end, which seemed most obvious choice, but also considered red diamond and bixbite (red beryl)
Elec Man, Black Opal Ring: Also considered chatoyant Sapphire, Alexandrite (??? color shift?), chrysoberyl, angelite/anhydrite, and even hawkeye quartz (loosely inspired by a real hawkeye ‘lightning’ ring, before that I was thinking cufflinks, but seemed weird for him to become either a pair of gems, or even a single cufflink lol)
Jewel Man, Colorless Beryl (Goshenite) Monocle - also considered rock crystal, diamond, and Padparadscha sapphire. Apparently both beryl and rock crystal were historically used for eyeglasses. Monocle is a reference to gentleman thief archtypes, also they are just fancy. (Also I realized while drawing this that having a plique a jour monocle chain is probably super impractical, oh well lol)
Top Man, Imperial Topaz  Pendant in a Jeweled Egg - also considered alexandrite and spinel (for the pun, heh) and spessertite
Kalinka/Mega Girl, Rose Quartz Blossom Barrette: Pink :) though I considered other lesser known (but more valuable) pink gems
Quint, Alexandrite Wristwatch: Quint is a time traveler (of sorts), also considered model armillary sphere/astrolabe, a screwdriver, and jade or malachite or nanocrystal
Wily, Agate Cameo Belt Buckle: Loosely inspired by his skull belt in some of his game art, also considered amythist
Dr. Light, Alabaster bead on a bookmark tassel:  Dr. Light likes books! Was also considering rock crystal and goshenite
Ring Man, Zircon Hoop Bracelet: Reference to both his namesake and his carney background. Was also considering class ring (before assigning the ring to Elec Man) and a circlet. ‘Zircon’ just sounds circusy, must be the Z
Magnet Man, Garnet Horseshoe Amulet: garnets are apparently magnetic, also considered fridge magnet
Cut Man, Citrine Paperknife: for obvious reasons. I also considered topaz for the gem
Guts Man, Tourmaline Paperweight: funny/fitting pairing with the paper knife, the shape is in reference to the boulder he holds in game art (for a brief week, was a rock crystal until I realized those are clear lol smokey quartz would have made more sense)
Punk, Spinel Motorcycle Chain: ‘Spinel’ may be a derivative from Latin ’spina’ which means thorn
Rush, Labradorite Bone Collar Tag: Went for the pun!
Treble, Howlite Fang: and ditto for Treble
Others that weren’t in chapter (this list has no significance what-so-ever, I brainstormed a list of gems but also ‘trinkets’ and my brain just started associating lol)
Beat, Aquamarine Aigrette: Beat actually avoided transformation, but that’s what he would have been
Gyro Man: Mood Ring
Dr. Cossack: Selenite something or other
Dark Man: D20
Time Man: a pocket watch
Enker: Chess piece
Metal Man: A knife
Shadow Man: Also a knife, maybe jade
Yamato Man: Natsuke
Burner Man: Match Box
Fake Man: phenakite, derived from greek word for deceiver
Magic Man: Card Case
Needle Man: Rutilated quartz (it has needle-like inclusions)
Pharaoh Man: Scarab collar pin/cloak clasp
Star Man: Star Saphire?
And that's it from the notes, haha.

Fury Meets Force
Javi Garcia x Male Reader
A/N: We need more Power Rangers x male readers on here. That’s all I have to say.
Tumblr media
“Uh, are you sure Zayto and I should interview for this reporting job?” Y/N asked hesitantly as he, Zayto, Amelia, and Ollie walked into the busy building of Buzz Blast.
“I agree with Y/N. I only have experience fighting monsters,” Zayto said.
“Ditto,” Y/N said.
“Call that tackling tough tasks,” Amelia countered.
“And piloting a giant Zord.”
“You have flashy style.”
“And taking care of Sporix Beasts.”
“Add that to fighting Orgs and Putrids,” Y/N said.
“And umm, you both recycle. Y/N is an animal lover just like his dad and he plays a mean game of pool like his father and Zayto has spirit,” Amelia said. She turned and grinned at them. “See?”
“Okay, gotcha,” Zayto smiled back. “Cool, cool, coolio.” He did finger guns. Y/N, Amelia, and Ollie frowned at that.
“I don’t know where you learned that, but your interview is this way,” Amelia said, pointing to the stairs as Zayto followed her.
Y/N glanced at Ollie. “You taught him that, didn’t you?”
Ollie smiled sheepishly. “Don’t tell Amelia I taught him that.” They followed the others up the stairs.
Y/N, Ollie, and Amelia waited for Zayto to finish his interview with Ms. Jane Fairview, the editor-in-chief at Buzz Blast. Y/N already conducted his interview first and now was waiting patiently for his friend to finish his.
The sound of a harmonica caught Y/N’s attention as a young guy around his age was playing on the small instrument. He had dark brown hair with lighter highlights mixed in. He wore a black leather jacket and boots with ripped jeans and a black messenger bag. He had an earring on his left ear and a ring on his right thumb. He was really cute.
As if sensing his thoughts. Harmonica–guy turned to Y/N and winked as he continued to play. Y/N felt heat creep up on his neck at that wink. Not that he had a problem with looking at other guys. He just gets really flustered sometimes. Especially around cute guys.
“Umm, cool harmonica,” Amelia said. “Catchy tune.” The guy in the leather jacket gave her a shy smile.
“Hey, are you going for the reporter's job?” Ollie asked him.
“Yeah, Jane told me to wait,” Harmonica–guy said. “I’m trying to earn money so I can buy a keytar.”
Amelia and Ollie frown at that. Having never heard of a keytar before.
“It’s like a keyboard that you can play, like a guitar,” Y/N mumbled.
“Exactly!” Harmonica–guy cries. “You know your instruments?”
“Sort of,” Y/N admitted. “My father is really big on music. He likes to play the flute.”
“Cool,” Harmonica–guy smiles. “They're not cheap, so fingers crossed.”
The door to Ms. Fairview’s office opens up as she and Zayto step out. She has three green binders in her hands. “Thanks for coming in. Y/N, Zayto, and Javi,” Jane Fairview says. “As a final test, I’m giving you each an assignment. Whoever does better gets the job. Cool?”
“Ah, yes. Cool, cool, coolio,” Zayto says again. Everyone is silent as they look at Zayto. “Umm… My friend Ollie taught me that.” He clears his throat. “Amelia, you didn’t hear that.”
Amelia looks at Ollie. “Hmm.”
Ollie smiles nervously.
“Javi, you’ll do a story on the Nephrite Orb. It’s a gemstone said to have mystical powers,” Ms. Fairview says as she hands him a folder. “Go check it out at the museum.”
Y/N smiled. So, Harmonica–guy was named ‘Javi.’
“Cool. Thanks,” Javi said as he left.
Ms. Fairview turned to Zayto. “The state’s top teen athlete trains at Pine Ridge High. Go find out what makes her tick. I wanna know her coach, her routine, her name.”
“Her name is Izzy Garcia,” Zayto said as he read the file on her.
“Wow. You’re fast, kid. Oh, right? It’s in the file,” Ms. Fairview jokes. “Ok. Good luck.”
She looks at Y/N. “There’s a new exhibit at the museum about the ancient warriors from the fairytale story of Animarium that protected it 3000 years ago. I want you to tell me all that you can about this new exhibit. Okay?”
“Yeah, sure,” Y/N smiled.
Ollie and Amelia went with Zayto to the school while Y/N checked out the new exhibit at the museum. He knows the story of the ancient warriors. His father was the sixth member of their group before he put on the wolf mask. He would be sure to add the part about a sixth warrior, minus turning evil and being entombed for all eternity in his article.
He talked to different curators and asked about the artifacts and how their presence could have an impact on the modern world. Once Y/N got all the interviews he need; he decided to look around the museum. Looking at different weapons that were foam, a voice behind him said. “Are you following me?” Y/N turned to see Javi smirking at him.
Y/N blushed a bit. “No, I'm not following you. Ms. Fairview also gave me a story here at the museum.”
“Oh, about what?”
“About the six ancient warriors who protected Animarium,” Y/N said.
“Six? I thought there were only five,” Javi said.
“Nope, there are six.”
“Cool.”
“So, how’s your story going?” Y/N asked.
“It’s going great. I got a professor to talk about the Nephrite Orb,” Javi said.
“That’s awesome.”
“Yeah, it is.”
Javi extends a hand out. “I’m Javi, by the way. Javi Garcia.”
Y/N smiles and shakes his hand. “Y/N. Y/N Evans Baliton.”
They hold hands longer than normal before Y/N pulls back and blushes again. Before they can continue their conversation further, Mucus, Boomtower, and Draknarok teleport into the museum as people panic and scream as they run out of the museum. “And scream!”
“Sporix Beasts!”
“Now, where’s that orb?” Mucus asks as they look around.
Y/N wants to morph and stop them, but Javi is right there, so he can’t. “Come on, Y/N.” Javi grabs Y/N’s hand as they hide somewhere next to the orb.
“It’s mine. All mine!” Boomtower says.
“And also mine,” Mucus says as she grabs the case with the orb inside.
“Keep up, beast.”
“My name is Draknarok!”
“Who cares?”
Y/N looks at Javi. “Javi, you call the Power Rangers hotline. I’ll follow them and see where they’re going.”
“No, Y/N, it’s too dangerous to follow those beasts. You could get hurt,” Javi protested.
“I can protect myself. Promise,” Y/N winks as he runs after the Sporix Beasts before Javi can stop him.
Javi sighed as he dialed the phone and put it to his ear. “Power Rangers hotline? There’s Sporix Beasts at the museum.”
Y/N made sure there was no one around as he brought out his dad’s Growl Phone. He pressed the center button of the morpher as he brought it to his ear and shouted out: “Wild Access! HA!” His clothes shifted to his ranger costume as the lion visor roared as it became a solid lion-shaped helmet around Y/N’s head.
“Ooh! I don’t know what Nephrite is, but I know power when it’s in my hand,” Boomtower said.
There’s a car that parks right in front of them and comes to a halt. It has ‘Pine Ridge Park Warren’ on the passenger side. “Huh? What’s this?” A man gets out as he glares at the monsters. “That belongs to the people of Pine Ridge. Put it down!”
“How about I put you down?” Boomtower asks as his sword flashes purple as he slams it down and a wave of purple energy rushes at the Warren.
“Look out!” Y/N cries as he grabs the man and jumps as high as he can as they escape the attack. The man was okay, but fainted from shock. Y/N glares underneath his helmet. “Give the orb back now and walk away while you still can,” Y/N demands.
“I’d listen to him if I were you!”
"Ugh, what’s happening now?” The Sporix Beasts and Y/N turn to see Zayto, Amelia, and Ollie.
“He’s got the Nephrite Orb from Javi’s assignment,” Amelia said.
“If Void Knight wants it, then we gotta stop him,” Ollie agrees.
“Those are the other Rangers,” Mucus whispers to Boomtower.
“Those pipsqueaks? Impossible!”
“Don’t believe it? See for yourself,” Zayto says.
“Yeah, you show them you guys!” Y/N says.
“It’s morphin’ time!” They switched from their communicators to their morphers as they held out their keys to activate them. “Dino Fury Key activate! Link to morphin’ grid” They spin their morphers as they begin to transform into the Dino Fury red, blue, and pink rangers.
“Dino Fury power!”
“I’ll show you power,” Boomtower draws his sword as he and Draknarok charged at the others. Y/N jumps in the mix as he draws his Crystal Saber. Javi runs down the stairs trying to find Y/N, when he sees the Power Rangers fighting the Sporix Beasts. As he watches them, he sees an unconscious man on the grass.
“Oh, no.”
“I’m spitting’ fire!” Draknarok shoots out a purple flame as Y/N and Zayto roll to the side and the attack hits Mucus instead.
“Think this robot body is tough now? With the orb, I’ll be invincible!” Boomtower said.
“Invincible? That’s not good,” Javi whispers.
“Not so fast.” Y/N jumps into the air and switches weapons from a saber to a lion blaster as he blasts the monster as it drops the orb in its hand. “No! My orb!” Draknarok uses his tail and knocks the other Rangers down to the ground. “Good job. What's your name. Now I’ll just grab my—”
“Gravi ball Ha!” Zayto wraps a chain around the two monsters, keeping them from moving. Javi sees an opportunity as he takes the orb from the ground and gets in the car and drives off with it.
“Hey! We stole that first!” Mucus cries.
“Mucus, you’re our only hope. Stop that car!” Boomtower commands. The Sporix Beast runs after the car as she jumps at it and turns into green goo and sticks to the car (That’s actually what happened).
“I’m going after them,” Y/N tells Zayto and the others.
“Good luck. We can handle things here.”
“Wild Force Rider!” Y/N summons the flying falcon shaped motorcycle as he goes after Javi.
….
Javi stops the car in front of a ‘keep out’ fence sign. This was his secret spot that he went to practice his music, since his dad didn’t approve of it. He gets out of the car and holds the orb tightly in his arms as he hops the wooden fence. He walks down the beaten path towards the trees and towards his special spot. The green goo on the side of the car melts as it reforms to reveal Mucus. “My plan worked!” She cries out as she notices Javi walking with the orb. “Does he still have the orb? Yes! Better tell my buddies!” She teleports in a flash of purple light.
Javi is walking down the path, carefully holding the Nephrite Orb as Draknarok jumps in front of him, causing him to fall down in surprise. “Well, what do you know?” Javi turns to run the other way, but Boomtower blocks his path. “Mucus was right. You better give me the orb, otherwise, we’ll take it.” They began to close in on Javi as his eyes darted nervously back and forth.
“Actually, you won’t be taking anything from anybody!” Y/N flew by on his motorcycle as he blasted Boomtower and Draknarok. Y/N jumped down in front of Javi protectively. Y/N looked at him. “You alright?”
Javi nodded his head. “Yeah, just fine.”
“We’re not afraid of a little kitty cat like you,” Boomtower boasted.
“No? How about a wolf?”
Y/N switched morphers to his father’s Lunar Caller. He pressed the center button. “Wild Access! HA!” His red ranger costume melted off as it was replaced by a silver and navy blue suit. His visor howled as it became a solid wolf-shaped helmet around Y/N’s head.
“Howling wolf!” Y/N did his father’s pose as he pulled out his Luner Cue from its holster. “Lunar Cue, Saber Mode!”
“Excellent. Now for some fun.” Y/N and Boomtower exchanged blows as their weapons battled back and forth. While he was distracted, Draknarok closed in on Javi. “It’s easy, kid. Just hand over the orb or I’ll do this the fun and painful way.”
“Stay away from him!” Y/N says. He can’t help Javi without letting up and letting Boomtower get the upper hand. A green javelin sailed through the air and hit Draknarok as he stumbled back in surprise. “Hey, who dares?” The Rangers and Javi’s sister run to him as Javi runs to them.
“Javi!”
“Izzy!” Javi hugs his sister as the Rangers run to aid Y/N. “Amazing throw!”
“Ready for round 2?” Zayto asks. Y/N and Boomtower finally separate from each other as Y/N joins his friends.
“Bring it,” Boomtower says as the Rangers charge the monsters. The Dino Fury Rangers triple team Boomtower as Y/N fights Draknarok.
“We gotta keep this orb safe. Come on!” Javi grabs his sister’s hand and leads her to a nearby tree as they watch the Rangers fight the Sporix Beasts.
“Get off my back!” Draknarok throws Y/N off of him as the Lunar Ranger hits the ground on his back. Boomtower slashes Zayto, Amelia, and Ollie with his sword, as they go sprawling to the ground. “Tonight’s menu roast Ranger. Yum, yum, yum!” Boomtower and Draknarok close in as the sound of a harmonica is played and Draknarok grabs his head in pain.
“Aargh! My ears!”
“What is that infernal ruckus?”
Y/N smiles underneath his head. Good job, Javi.
“Please stop.” Y/N and the others get back up.
“Did someone lose a paperweight?” Izzy asks.
“Huh? Yeah. That thing will make me invincible,” Boomtower says.
The orb glows around Izzy as she stares at it in shock. “Wow. It really does feel powerful.”
“Give it to me!”
Javi takes the orb from his sister and smirks at the Sporix Beasts. "Okay, but I can be a bit clumsy, and… uh-oh. Thing’s slippery.” Javi slams the orb onto a nearby rock, smashing it to pieces as a green light of energy engulfs him and his sister. It’s blinding. Once the light has subsided, the siblings walk towards the rock and pick up two items that were trapped inside the orb.
“What are these?” Javi asks as he looks it over.
“They’re Dino keys!” Y/N says.
“I thought those were lost,” Zayto says.
The objects hum with energy as they zap Javi and Izzy with their power. “Whoa. What’s happening?” Izzy is bathed in a green light, while Javi is surrounded by black energy. It allows them to morph into Power Rangers.
“They morphed?”
“Are you…? Am I…? Are we the…?”
“The Green and Black Rangers?” Y/N says. “Yup.”
“Sweet!” Amelia says.
“This is a dream come true,” Izzy said.
“I know, right?” Javi asks.
“Hold that though.” Izzy rips the skirt off her suit. “Skirts aren’t really my thing.”
“Hey! That orb was meant to be my thing,” Boomtower says. “You’re going to pay.” He snaps his fingers. “Hengemen!” A purple portal opens up as foot soldiers appear. They charge forward as the Rangers battle them. Javi and Izzy are totally in sync during their first fight as Rangers. Y/N’s honestly impressed by their teamwork.
“Javi, catch!” Izzy throws her saber as Javi catches it and uses both to fight. “We’re rocking it, sis!”
Izzy grabs her green javelin. “I’ve trained for this. Sort of.” She battles minions left and right as she and her brother are back to back. “You good?”
“Yup.”
“That’s some brother-sister synergy right there,” Zayto says.
Javi throws Izzy’s sword towards her as uses her javelin to spin it around and spend it at Boomtower, knocking his sword out of his hands. “Would you stop doing that!”
Javi jumps over and grabs Draknarok’s tail and slams him against a tree as Izzy throws her javelin high into the tree and uses Boomtower as a step stool to get up there and sit on it.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Boomtower asks her.
“Oh, just hangin.” Izzy falls backwards and grabs her sword and javelin in mid fall and slashes Boomtower with both.
“I don’t believe this!” Boomtower cries out.
“Wow! I was thinking that too. You and I are really vibing, dude,” Izzy says.
“Vibing? With a teenager? No thanks!” Boomtower disappears, leaving the Rangers to only deal with Draknarok. “Big scary monster ran away. You love to see it.” The Rangers surround Draknarok as he warns. You know what happens if a Sporix Beast fights long enough? Spoiler alert!” He says. We grow!” Draknarok growls as he grows to a massive size.
“It’s not like he was gonna shrink,” Javi said.
Draknarok roars loudly as he towers over everything. “Ooh! Is it Zord time?” Izzy asks Zayto.
“You’re a quick learner.”
“Yes!”
“Solon, deploy the T-Rex Champion, Tricera Blade and Ankylo Hammer Zords,” Zayto says into his communicator. The respective Dino Fury Zords is summoned as Javi looks at Y/N. “What about you? Where’s your Zord at?”
“Right here.” Y/N pulls out three Animal Crystals and switches his Lunar Cue from Saber to Breaker Mode. He swings his Lunar Cue horizontally, generating a massive green energy pool table and shoots the Wolf, the Hammerhead, and the Alligator off of it and into the sky. “Wild Zords, descend!” All three of Y/N’s father’s Zords are summoned together as they head towards the Sporix Beast. “Wild Zords, combined!”
The three Zords combine into one massive Megazord and join the Dino Fury Megazord as they fought and destroyed Draknarok together. The defeated monster shrunk as Zayto saw a purple light coming towards them. “The Sporix.” He jumped into the air and caught it. “One more for us; one fewer for Void Knight.” They all teleported away as Void Knight angrily stated. “Six Rangers! And still not enough to stop me!”
….
Back at the Dinohenge, a hidden underground chamber Y/N, Zayto, Amelia, and Ollie showed Javi and Izzy around.
“Whoa.”
“Big superhero mood.”
“Welcome to our humble base,” Zayto said.
Javi and Izzy demorph back to normal and so did Y/N, Zayto, Amelia and Ollie.
“And welcome to the team.” Y/N smiles.
“Y/N? You’re a Ranger? And you three as well?” Javi asked, shocked.
“I had no idea,” Izzy said.
“We had no idea that the Tiger and Stego Dino Keys survived.”
“I wonder what else is out there, waiting to be discovered.”
“Maybe a couple of Zords for us?”
“Possibly. You humans sure do love Zords,” Zayto says. “And here’s another surprise. Hey, Solon!”
The half dinosaur, half cyborg walked into the room, much to Javi and Izzy’s surprise. “Welcome, friends. You look hungry. Can I get you a snack?”
“You’re a–”
“Half cyborg, half dinosaur,” Solon says. “Strange I know. Took some adjusting for me too. But that’s nothing. Zayto’s a knight from the Planet Rafkon.” Zayto shows his antennas and smiles.
“So you are a knight,” Izzy says. “This is the coolest day of my life.” She looks at her brother. “Javi, I’m glad you broke that orb.”
Javi’s smile disappears at the mention of the orb. “Oh, no! The orb! It’s history. And so is the deadline for our Buzzblast stories.” He looks at Y/N and Zayto. “There’s no way Jane will give any of us the job now.” Javi looks down. “I need to find a new way to pay for that keytar.”
“There are plenty of jobs around,” Izzy said. “You want 10 bucks to clean my room?”
They all laugh at that. Later on, they all head to Buzz Blast to tell Jane that they couldn’t complete their stories. “Zayto, Javi, Y/N, there you are.”
“I’m afraid we couldn’t finish those stories for you,” Zayto says.
“I’m sorry I let you down, Jane,” Javi apologizes. “Please, let me explain.”
“There’s no need. What you did at the museum today, jumping in to protect the orb, it showed guts and dedication. Two things every great reporter needs. It would be a privilege to have someone as brave and resourceful as you on our team.” She holds out her hand. “Welcome to BuzzBlast.”
Javi laughs as he shakes her hand. “Thanks. I really appreciate it.”
Jane Fairview looks at Y/N and Zayto. “Close. But no chihuahua.”
Y/N frowns at her choice of words.
“Well, congrats. You’re the right man for the job,” Zayto says.
“Yes, he is,” Jane Fairview says. “Now, Javi. For your first story, you gotta find the best hamburger in Pine Ridge.”
“Actually, Ms. Fairview, I have a confession to make,” Javi stops her.
“Oh, and what’s that?”
“If it weren’t for Y/N telling me to call the Power Rangers' hotline. Those Sporix Beasts would have gotten away with the Nephrite Orb. He’s the one that deserves the job, not me,” Javi said.
“What? No, Javi, you deserve this job. You protected the orb when no one else did. You’re amazing.” After he said that, the Wildforce Ranger blushed. Izzy and Amelia looked at each other with a knowing smirk on their faces.
“But Y/N–”
“–Hold on a minute,” Jane Fairview says. “Since you were so honest, Javi. I can maybe squeeze Y/N in as well.”
“Really? That’s great!”
“What do you say, Y/N?” Jane Fairview asked him.
“I’d say thank you so much!” Y/N cried.
After Ms. Fairview left, Javi pulled Y/N to the side. “So… I was thinking I might need some help on my first story. Care to help me out?”
Y/N smiled, gently. “What, like a date?”
Javi smiled back. “Yeah, like a date.”
“I’d love to.”

Submas Gem AU: Ingo Deets
This was inspired by a reblog from @sningo-prompts time to go more in-depth about How Arceus did the Thing and what Ingo can do now!!
(By the way, you can totally just go full submas on your blog if you want to! Just add to your Bio or Header that you’re mostly sningo stuff, but the rest of submas is still on the table to chatter about.)
First off: Arceus making Gems (specifically turning Ingo into one)
Just to clarify, Ingo is a Gem Hybrid and not a “Pure” Gem. He’s still part human, with all the important physical stuff that goes with that. (Like eating, sleeping, breathing, etc. Not totally dependent on light for health/strength)
BUT, with the way Arceus did it, Ingo also has a lot of abilities that “pure” gems would have as well. Like poofing! (Yes, he can poof btw. I can explain it in a sec.)
The only thing I can think of to compare how Arceus did that is computer programing, so that’s how I’m going to line it out.
Funnily enough, there are numerous Pokémon that (individually) have abilities like gems, so Arceus already has the coding to make them.
A Pokémon who’s “heart” is an object- Magearna (not made by Acreus himself, but still counts in my mind)
Pokémon who have Object Dormant forms- Reshiram and Zekrom (the Light Stone and Dark Stones in the games)
A (human) spirit/being tied to an object that wasn’t originally part of them- Spiritomb
Getting energy/power boosts from sunlight- Espeon, any Pokémon with the chlorophyl ability
Injuries/Unconsciousness triggering a defensive ability to heal/protect themselves- The whole Pokémon shrinking down thing that kicks in when they’re defeated/captured
Physical Yet Malleable body that allowed for limited shape-shifting- Ditto, Mew (in the movies/shows), Zorua/Zoroark illusions
(probably toned down compared to Ditto and Mew, but much more solid than the illusions)
All he had to do was tweak the gem to act as the “safe” spot and then plug all those codes all into Ingo!
BOOM! GEM HYBRID!
New Gems and/or More Gems
At this time in my au ideas, Ingo is the only Gem. Not because I think Arceus wouldn’t have made more, but because I’m not sure who else he would have turned/made into them.
As for new gems/Emmet being one, I’d say that (just for Ingo) Arceus plugged the ability to make a (limited number) new gems himself!
My main thought for How was that it was done through fusion (which was the one new code that had to be made in pokeverse).
Basically, if Ingo is close enough to potentially fuse with someone then if they do, there’s a possibility that when they separate the other person will have become a gem too. The exact criteria needed for that are something I’m still debating, but I know that it will happen to Emmet. Not after the first fusion, but it is basically built in to happen eventually.
Currently, there is no change back plan. Although, I guess it could be done if Arceus was hunted down and brought into the issue.
At the moment, once the code is changed, there isn’t anyway to take it out. Not without help.
Gem Injuries: How do they heal?
This one I’ve actually been thinking about a bit, mostly because I realized that was something I didn’t have an answer for when I talked about Mirror Gem Ingo having a crack. So, I had to think.
My first thought is that there’s some kind of solution out there for mending/healing living rock.
There are plenty of rock types and Pokémon with gem/crystal-like growths on their bodies. And those Pokémon are bound to have gotten hurt/injured at some point and needed to heal/recover. Logically, that means there has to be some kind of medicine out there to heal that kind of damage.
So, I would say Ingo/Emmet would first try to use that to heal and injuries to Ingo’s gem. Normally, this stuff probably wouldn't work on a gemstone, but Ingo’s gem counts as a Living Stone so it would be effective.
It’s probably a multi-part process with a very liquidy starting medicine to get the fine cracks deep in the stone; then with thicker, less fluid layers put on top to help with the outer damage. (Then a couple layers of bandages and stuff stuff on top to hold all those in as they worked their magic.)
That covers some of the major points, but I’ll stop here for now. (Time to work on the asks I have next!)

I have a ditto that recently has started to enjoy turning into a Sableye. I doubt an untransformed ditto can digest gemstones like Sableyes can, but is it safe to feed it gemstones while transformed?
Did you know there's a whole section of Ranger Training about Ditto.
A Ditto is like a multi-tool for assisting rangers.
They have the ability to transform into just about every pokemon down to a cellular level, including their digestive system.
The major thing to aware of is that Ditto can't stay that pokemon forever, but they can train to hold the form for a good while, but it's like constantly flexing your muscles, at some point you need to stop.
It's possible that your Ditto has a natural talent to transform into a shape like Sableye, and perhaps it's taste buds just like how gems taste.
It's sort of like how you could be born to a family that really likes sweet things, but you dislike sweet things but you love spicy things.
If Ditto has no issues being Sableye for longer periods of time and eats without showing any major issues, then your Ditto is just fine.

THE STORY BEGINS…
On August 23rd of 2022, the YouTube channel named “jewelx : THE JOURNEY”, had posted their first video. It had shown the silhouette of seven women slowly approaching a table, placing their index finger towards a glass ball in the center. The footage cuts to black screen with the date, “22.10.08” with the WX logo. There were three leading theories.
The debut of new girl group
The return of WINGX (minus two members)
The most feared, a new survival show.
It was later revealed that it was the trailer for the predebut group jewelx. Throughout the fall, they made various videos introducing the members.

Before becoming a trainee, she has written songs for groups like Stayc, Weki Meki, IZ*ONE, and more
She considers herself to be the most photogenic member in the group 
gemstone : evening emerald 
diya
Her songwriter name is Ditto, her first stage name
She had an instagram account pre-debut, dittoxoxo
She was the last person to join the company and group
gemstone : flash opal
rina
Originally was training to debut as a soloist until the jewelx project
Her father owns a dance studio back in her hometown 
She doesn’t like dying her hair 
gemstone : akoya pearl

She was not supposed to debut as an idol, but rather an actress 
Went viral during the jewelx project 
gemstone : rainbow moonstone
hina
She was deemed the most outgoing member 
She thinks everyone should dye their hair blonde at least once in their lives
Rina and Hina joined the company together 
gemstone : inca rose 
shin dahye, wx’s current ceo, claims she handpicked each and every member of chicane.
“I am so grateful to be fully apart of the jewelx project and the creation of chicane. Each member holds a special place in my heart. All of them have extraordinary abilities that will impact the world.”
CONCEPT…
the name of “chicane” comes from the words chic cane mixed together, also to represent the word “chicanery”. there are two parts of concept. the chic in chicane stands for a velvet, more softer tone of music while cane is to show strength and power. as for their fandom name, it’s nyxsters. a mixture of nyx, the goddess and personification of night, and trickster. currently that is all that’s revealed.

Tomura having Monchan (Yamper) is really not doing it for AFO. He tries convincing Tomura that Monchan is better off... somewhere else. After all, he's not even Tomura's true partner because he was sort of the family's. Obviously Tomura isn't up for that. He lost his entire family, he's not giving up the last living piece of it.
Fine. Not a big deal. It's easy enough, then, for AFO to insist Tomura should have two partners. What kid is gonna say no to two pokemon? Tomura's starry eyed right up until AFO slaps down a sableye:
Tumblr media
This little... thing... has a lot of energy and its kind of destructive. They're extremely rare. Humans have been mass slaughtering them in order to preserve gemstone extractions since sableye, y'know, eat gemstones. Attempts to restore their numbers using ditto haven't had a lot of success due to their behavior.
Tomura isn't very pleased. Attempts at befriending sableye are met with a lack of interest. Regardless, it's Tomura's responsibility to take care of it. And he does his best, for a while. But a grieving kid really doesn't have the ability to tame this sableye, so their relationship is sour at best and nonexistent at worst.
Regardless, sableye will go to Tomura when it needs something since Kurogiri refuses (an aspiring leader like Tomura needs to learn responsibility and responsibility towards one's partner is extremely important and yadda yadda yadda). It jumps onto Tomura and will pull at his clothes and hair, screeching like a banshee until Tomura finally gives it whatever it wants, usually food. Tomura often comes out of these encounters with blood drawn. Monchan is not a fan.
When Tomura matures some more, though, he tries different approaches. Eventually he works out a system of communication, and the screaming and tantrum-throwing slows to a stop. Probably the biggest leap is when he's sitting, Monchan on his lap, discussing things with the league when sableye climbs onto the couch. When it doesn't look like sableye is actually looking for anything, the discussion continues until sableye scoots over and hugs Tomura's side and sits in silence. (The league nearly pass out from shock.)
Before being arrested, AFO gave them both a key stone and a sablenite. When Tomura's about to be attacked, sableye mega evolves to protect him with his brand spanking new shield.

Miracle Weapon Hunt Chapter 26: The Existing Around Royalty Survival Guide
“So, what dress you going for?”
Roxanne and Cassandra stood in front of the dress selection in front of them. About a dozen dresses, with a few pictures behind them of more. According to Willow, they’d be easy to find in town. But Cassandra and Roxanne had no clue where to even begin.
“I think I’ll just take the recommendation.” Cassandra said, already exhausted.
“Hm, okay.” Willow said, perusing the lineup until she plucked a green ballroom gown from the lineup and put it over her body.
“Seems like it’d fit as is, anyway.”
“Okay, but that?” Cassandra asked, stepping back. “That is way too wide at the bottom.”
“Trust me, it’s the best option. You wear this, and nobody notices you’re barefoot.”
“Why do I want to go barefoot?”
“The other option is sophisicated shoes that mangle your feet.”
“Oh, right. Well, I suppose…trying it won’t hurt.”
Cassandra went to the dressing room with a servant, and Willow got to picking something out for Roxanne.
“Hey, can I take a look at your necklace real quick?”
“Excuse me?” Roxanne stepped back, clutching her necklace.
“To find the right shade. Come on, it’ll only be a second.”
Roxanne never let the necklace out of her sight. Her being asked to take off the necklace might as well be the same as asking her to strip naked in front of her. Then again…
“Only a second?” Roxanne repeated.
“You can hold it against the dresses yourself if it makes you feel better.”
Roxanne did as she asked, clutching her necklace, and holding it against the different dresses. Eventually, she found herself a bright yellow dress that was an almost perfect contrast to her violet gemstone. It was thin, with white sleeves that separated into two draping triangles on the bottom half. It sparkled at the bottom with a select choice of sequins.
“Now that one kicks ass.” Willow nodded with confidence. “Okay, let’s get it on and get to the hall.”
Once Roxanne got into her dress and joined Cassandra and Willow in the large ballroom, they were immediately hit by the icy glare of Freyja.
“Took your time.” She said calmly.
“We’re on time.” Willow replied, already exasperated. She was wearing a dress the shape of Cassandra’s that started off orange around the bust area but slowly shifted colour throughout until it was a light purple near the sleeves.
“On time is ten minutes early, you know this. Javier and Julian were here ten minutes early.”
“Okay, but the suits look a lot easier to get into.” Cassandra added.
Julian and Javier were wearing simple black tuxedos. They looked nice, even if Julian was scratching his neck and looking as unsophisticated as you could wearing something like that.
“Well, now that everyone’s here, I need to see what your skills in ballroom dancing are. How do you think you fare?”
“I know basically nothing.” Roxanne whispered.
“Ditto.” Cassandra added.
“Eh, I can teach you. Had to learn some shit with Luca a few years back. Pretty sure it’s stuck.”
“Pretty sure?” Freyja asked.
“Look lady, I got the black suit on, okay? It’ll come back to me.”
“Your suit is actually a dark midnight blue. Clearly you don’t have an eye for these things.”
“Hey, I just got another one of those!” Julian said, showing off his glass eye. Freyja didn’t appreciate the joke.
“Just go to your partner.”
Julian went to Cassandra, and Javier went to Willow. Kazumi approached Roxanne, gave a slight bow, and extended her hand.
“May I?”
“Wait, really?”
“It’s just practice, think nothing of it. Please.”
Freyja started the music, a classical piano piece with some subtle violins in the background, the one everyone knew from every ballroom scene in every ballroom movie ever. Roxanne was honestly surprised it was something royalty actually used.
When the music began to sway, Javier tried stepping to the side with a flourish, and Willow tried doing the same, only for the steps to become out of sync and Javier to end up slipping.
“Your posture’s off.” Julian said calmly next to him. The routine him and Cassandra were doing was wonky, sure. But any issues came from Cassandra, he himself was doing great.
“You have your hand too far in the centre of her back. You just gotta put it at the edge of her back, like what I’m doing.”
Javier did as instructed, and Willow was just slightly to the left of him.
“Okay, now try to sync up with some small steps. Imagine a small square in the centre of the two of you and make a one, two, three beat in your mind as you step around it.”
It was a slightly hard adjustment, but after a short while the two were in sync.
“Once you got the beat down you can be more elaborate, like so.”
Julian started to move in more of a circular motion, with Cassandra managing to stay in tune relatively easily. They were eventually swaying in a perfect rhythm, akin to the waves of Vannana crashing against the edge of the grand. Willow and Javier were eventually moving in a circular motion, albeit with less flair than Julian and Cassandra.
“You actually know a thing or two.” Freyja said with a smile. A genuine smile. It was small, but it was something. Julian was surprised her face remembered how to do that.
Roxanne was silently following Julian’s instructions under Kazumi. Kazumi didn’t seem to be as knowledgeable as Julian, but she was managing without any issues. The two of them were also moving in a circle before Roxanne knew it.
“Okay, I think that can conclude our training.” Freyja said, turning off the music. “Julian, I apologize for my assumptions you were uncouth, and I thank you for the instructions.”
“You know, I do take payments.” Julian replied with a point and a finger snap. “Like being allowed to wear my hat without you bitching at me.”
“Absolutely not.” She replied flatly, her face returning to her neutral frown.
“Hey now, what’s wrong with hats?”
Freyja’s frown deepened once she heard that voice, reluctantly turning around to meet Zach Fullsteel.
“I don’t feel the need to explain dress codes to a fifty-year-old man.” She replied, slowly looking him up and down. Just wearing a worn-out grey t-shirt and black jeans.
“Relax, I brought a suit. If you just show the wife and I our room, we’ll unpack ourselves while you and Mia do whatever it is you do.”
“Wait, Mia’s arrived!? And I wasn’t there for it?”
“Dining room.” Zach replied, to which Freyja ran to the room, with the kids following her.
Freyja ran into the room, where Mia, Sylvestro, and Fen Hou were all waiting, alongside Mia and Sylvestro’s husbands, and Fen Hou’s and Zach’s wives.
“Oh, everyone!” She said, eyes fixed on Mia. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t be here for your arrivals, for I was…”
“It’s quite alright.” Mia said calmly, wearing a casual red blazer with a white t-shirt underneath and a brown skirt. Sylvestro was wearing a white button up shirt with blue vertical stripes, and Fen Hou was wearing a deep blue suit. And all were sharing a teapot provided by a servant.
“The tea is excellent, as per usual.” Mia said calmly.
“As should be expected!” Freyja replied quickly.
The kids all saw this display, and how Freyja acted much, much nicer to Mia than anyone else.
“Hey, Willow, is your mom…secretly gay?” Julian asked.
“I don’t think so.” Willow said with a head shake. “But the relationship is about as close as it gets.”
“Well, now that we have so many here, I think I’ll be able to prepare dinner! If you can give me and the help a few hours, we’ll prepare the best feast you’ve ever had!”

Is The Combination Of Red Coral And Pearl Auspicious
The Navratna or the Nine gemstones hold importance in Indian astrology. The significance was also seen as the “Navratna” in the court of the great Mughal emperor Akbar. Each gemstone represents one celestial body in the universe.
When worn in the correct manner and on the right day can show significant improvement to the bearer. So Akbar had 9 gems in his court so that it was balanced, helped him make healthy decisions for welfare, and made him abundant.
Tumblr media
Mostly an astrologer may advise wearing a navratna ring as it boosts confidence and imparts a positive outlook toward life. However, a wrong combination at times can be detrimental too. In Astrology it is seen that many astrologers ask a seeker to wear Red Coral and Pearl combinations. Let us know about these 2 ratnas individually and then see the effects they bring forth when worn in combination.
Red coral or in Vedic astrology is called Moonga. The gemstones are related to the planet Mars. Mars is a hot planet. Ditto is coral, it is hot in Prakriti and a hot gemstone. Wearing a Coral gemstone removes the negative effects of Mard in the astrological charts.
Thereby making the wearer self-confident and determined in action. Such people stick to their decision and this brings them wealth, fame, recognition, and stability in their life.
Pearl in Vedic astrology is called Moti. White in colour it represents the celestial body moon of our universe. Moon and Pearl by nature represent calm, compassion, and creativity. A point to be noted is that pearl is a cold gemstone in Prakriti. Wearing a Pearl not only removes the ill or negative effects of the moon in the astrological charts, but it also brings along with it many benefits. A person who wears Pearl has a balanced family life, calm personality, and peace of mind. Therefore such people take balanced decisions in life.
When we read the above, the next question arises whether wearing both of these gemstones proves beneficial. When we see them in nature both of them seem to be very different. However, a point that we can take home is that they are friendly in nature. In Vedic astrology, both these planets are friends despite their differences. When worn with the correct planetary position in astrology charts they bring about many changes in life.
A Red coral and Pearl combination is beneficial and has a positive impact on the health of the person. By keeping blood and throat ailments at bay, it helps in sound decision making especially for businessmen and professionals in decision-making seats. The combination helps in keeping the evil eye away and surrounds the person with vibrant positive energies all the time. Statesmen and many people in the political stream wear this combination. 
In their case, it imparts the person with tremendous wealth, recognition, and fame. There is a great amount of peace of mind and balance. The person who wears this confidence will have good self-esteem, enthusiastic, bold, fearless, and energetic. Once a person wears this combination after proper consultation with a good astrologer, positive changes are bound to happen and help in leading a balanced and happy life.

Empress, did you notice that Meghan didn't wear her regular eternity ring, but wore a cheap birks eternity ring which had stones so big it overshadowed her engagement ring? Initially, she debuted her eternity ring with her newly blinged up engagement ring with word salad about how the eternity ring (with tiny stones) was representative of her, Harry and Archie and was embedded with 3 coloured gemstones to represented them and was another Harry gift, but now has exchanged it for the vulgar 1/2
2/2 blinged out eternity ring that you can see from several yards away. I have a theory for the new rings on this faux royal tour, including that big blood diamond on her pinky ring. I think these are the size, style of rings she wanted initially. She was in get-Harry-at-any-cost mode prior to wedding and so (barely) faked her enthusiasm at his 'sweet, thoughtful, knows her tastes and desires' ( his words) rings. Once She had Archie and LilD, and is now safely secure, she can indulge in her
3/3 tastes of big, blingy diamonds. I think if Harry had given her a giant diamond solitaire on a par with her blood diamonds or bigger, she would have been happy with her engagement ring. Ditto the initial eternity ring because the new one is really cheap for the size of the stones which makes me think it's just pave diamonds, but it's so blingy that you can see it from yards away and it completely overshadows her engagement and wedding rings.
====
I have to be honest, I don't care about her jewelry. I only care about the items that have a connection to her time in the BRF as those pieces come with certain implications.

THE SWANNA WHO LAID GOLDEN EGGS.
Since having a fanregion means I can say whatever I want and have it be canon, I have decided to make a myth detailing how the eighteen classifications of pokemon came into existence. This is a popular story told in many areas of Adreffe, and even reaches out to the coastal areas of Galar near where the island is located.
On the island of Adreffe, back in the days before there were any humans or conservation efforts there, there lived a single Swanna. She had a beautiful array of rainbow feathers, each one glittering under the sun like the finest gemstone, but there was one thing she was lacking. Swanna wanted to have chicks and populate the island, but she was the only pokemon there. With no dittos or other compatible species to breed with, she did the next best thing and made chicks out of what she found across the island.
The forest chick had feathers made of leaves and a beak of branches, and it was laid carefully in a nest of flower petals. The fire chick was made of smoke, its body continually shifting around and yet always remaining duck-adjacent. The sea chick was made of rainwater, the rock chick carved into the mountainside itself, and the dark chick was put up among the stars, immortalised in a constellation. 
Swanna made a total of eighteen chicks, each one made from different materials and given a new nest, before it was time for her winter migration. This hadn’t been a problem before, when she had had no one to leave behind, but this year she felt reluctant to leave her chicks alone in their nests. They had been a project of love, something that had taken most of the year to complete, and she didn’t want to see them destroyed by the cold winter air. Instead, she gathered all of her creations, pulling the dark chick from the stars and shielding the fire chick’s smoke from the breeze, collected them all into one giant nest, and laid down beside them to await the onset of winter. Before going to sleep, she wished that her chicks were real, like her, so that they could enjoy the warmer weather when it arrived.
When Swanna awoke from her hibernation, she found her rainbow feathers dulled from the blanket of snow, leaving only grey ones in their place. The only ones that still remained their bright array of colours were her inner wings, which had been stretched across the chicks to keep them away from the cold, and the sides of her head where she had been nuzzled against the nest. All the following Swannas of the world maintained these pale feathers, in remembrance of the one who sacrificed her rainbow plumage for the safety of her babies. That wasn’t the biggest change, however.
Whereas before there had been eighteen mad-made (swan-made?) chicks, there now lay eighteen golden eggs, each one twitching with signs of life. The stars above had heard her wish, and because of her endless love and dedication, they had granted it. Her chicks were real! Currently encased in a shell of shining gold, but still real!
She cared for the eggs for the remaining winter time, keeping them warm and comfortable within the nest, and watched them crack as they were finally exposed to the gentle Spring sunshine. Each Ducklett that emerged matched one of the ones she had crafted, still with feathers made of leaves or smoke or starlight, and each one was a different type classification. As the chicks migrated with their mother in the following years, every land they visited burst into life with all different types of pokemon, eventually becoming the commonplace species people are fmailiar with today.

Infinite Four, Refurbished: A Marvel Fanfic Concept
Here is the complete-as-of-now, refurbished version of Infinite Four, my attempt at envisioning an FF version of the eXiles or Web Warriors. Comments and suggestions welcome.
On Earth-9499729, Victor Von Doom has finally defeated the accursed RICHARDS! and assumed his rightful place as ruler of the Earth. Unwilling to rest on his laurels, Emperor Doom has begun studying the Multiverse. And when he finds out that in most realities, a version of himself is repeatedly defeated by a version of RICHARDS! he reacts….poorly.
Meanwhile, on Earth-75845525, Victor Von Doom, smarting from his latest defeat at the hands of the accursed RICHARDS!, decides to distract himself by studying the Multiverse. And when he finds out that in most realities, a version of himself is repeatedly defeated by a version of RICHARDS! he reacts….poorly.
Meanwhile, on Earth-34373402, Victor Von Doom takes a break from planning his latest attempt to defeat the accursed RICHARDS! by studying the Multiverse. And when he finds out that in most realities, a version of himself is repeatedly defeated by a version of RICHARDS! he reacts….poorly. Yeah, so in an infinite multiverse, there’s an infinite number of Dooms throwing an infinite number of shitfits over the fact that in most realities, the Richards family wins and he loses. And because Doom is often kinda bad at recognizing and/or caring that his actions can have negative consequences for everyone else, this gets very, very bad, and needs to be dealt with.
Someone has to clean up the mess, and that responsibility has been taken on by the Baxter Brain, an artificial hyper-intelligence housed inside a massive arcology that began as the combined uploaded consciousnesses of a version of the FF. But, even it’s astounding intellect and power can’t cope with ALL of the various Dooms (and Wizards, and Mad Thinkers, and Diablos, and occasionally an evil Reed) screwing things up for everyone with their egomaniacal disregard for everyone else. So, it has to recruit agents, and what better agents could their be than alternate versions of it’s previous selves? There are four teams: Alpha Team and Beta Team are each made up of an alternate Ben, Johnny, Reed and Sue; in the former case, they have additional power-sets from the "baseline", in the latter, they have additional skills or alternate powersets. In both cases, the individual team-members come from realities where they lost their version of the family. Gamma and Delta Teams are made up of versions of allies of the core four, and serve as support for Alpha and Beta. I only have two members of either ATM, help please? Alpha Team: -Reed Richards, Dr. Fantastic; from an Earth where, instead of Ben being the only member of the Four who was mode-locked, Reed was the only one who wasn’t; obviously, the celebrity adventurers thing didn’t wasn’t going to work. Desperate to find some way of curing his friends, Reed turned to magic, and eventually ended up becoming Sorcerer Supreme…which unfortunately led to the Dread Dormammu killing his family. -Johnny Storm, Ghost Torch; from a world where Reed’s guilt over turning his friends into freaks caused him to commit suicide. Unsurprisingly, this made things even worse for Sue, Ben, and Johnny, the latter of whom ended up being so lost that he joined a Satanic cult and found himself bound to a demonic Spirit of Vengeance… -Ben Grimm, Wolf-Thing; from an Earth where Reed’s moonshot wasn’t canceled, meaning that when it went to space it had adequate cosmic-ray shielding, and Ben managed to make it to the Moon without any problems whatsoever. Whilst on the Moon, however, he found a certain red gemstone…Fortunately, Reed figured out the wolf-monster stalking NYC was his best friend and built a gizmo to restore him to sanity, albeit by blasting him with cosmic rays that turned him into a rock monster. Unfortunately, he ended up dead in the process of using it (I can’t decided if Ben mauled him, or if some triggerhappy cop or something shot him by mistake) -Susan Storm, the Invincible Woman; a version of Sue who was forced to become a Herald of Galactus. Beta Team: -Dr. Maggie Wingfoot, the Human Torch; a female version of Johnny (named after her Aunt Marygay), who left the team to marry Wyatt Wingfoot and go to college, eventually earning a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Unfortunately, at some point, something went wrong and the Baxter Building was destroyed, killing the rest of the family. Convinced that, if she’d been there she could’ve prevented it, Maggie’s marriage subsequently fell apart. -Susan McKenzie, Sub-Mariness; from a world where Reed died, leading Sue to take up with Namor; she was subsequently given an infusion of Atlantean DNA to enable to her to live underwater, and ended up with same mutations as him and Namora, but lost her cosmic-ray induced powers. -Ben Grimm, Juggernaut; during his service in the Korean War, got shot down and ended up falling in with a bunch of of Army grunts, including a pair of bickering step-brothers named Charles Xavier and Cain Marko. When they stumble onto a hidden temple, it is Ben who finds the crimson Crystal of Cytorrak and is transformed by it’s power into the Juggernaut… -Reed Richards, Director of SHIELD; from a world where the FF got caught trying to steal the shuttle. Fortunately for everyone, Nick Fury stepped in and offered his old OSS buddy a deal he couldn’t refuse; if Reed came to work for him at SHIELD, he’d make the charges against the other three go away. Not wishing to ruin his friend’s lives, Reed agreed, and became one of SHIELD’s top operatives, ultimately taking over the organization when Fury eventually went down. Gamma Team: -Victoria Von Doom-Grimm, Dr. Grim; female version of Doom, fell in love with Ben when they were in college, and subsequently married him. Unfortunately, having her genitalia on the inside didn’t make her less of a narcissistic megalomaniac, and their marriage was…rocky, with them constantly separating and getting back together. During one such separation, the fateful trip to space happened. Victoria was…displeased that her handsome husband had been turned into a monster, and was so determined to fix it, that she did not adequately test the cure she concocted. On the plus side, inadvertently making herself a widow forced her to take a good hard look at herself and try to change her ways. -Namor McKenzie-Richards-Storm, Sub-Mariner. From a world where Reed and Namor were both bisexual, resulting in Reed, Namor, and Sue all getting together. Unfortunately, this led to Reed and Sue being assassinated by one of Namor's political rivals. Also, presenting two teams of recurring sometimes enemies/sometimes allies: The Brides of Doom (women who had been married to their local version of Doom, who have dedicated themselves to cleaning up his mess): -Susan Von Doom (duh) -Ororo Von Doom (again, duh) -Victoria Von Doom (female clone of Victor. Honestly, given how egomaniacal Victor is, it’s astounding this isn’t a thing in canon) -Natasha von Doom, it’s happened in a couple weird alternates, so might as well. (thanks to Xero Key for this suggestion) A Natasha who made some different choices after the USSR fell apart, and ended up working for Doom instead of the new Russian government. -Jennifer von Doom, because a Hulk is required here. (ditto) Haven’t quite worked out how this one happened. Suggestions? -Shuri Von Doom, owing to a political marriage in order to obtain Doom’s aid in fixing the mess that resulted when one of the many attempts to oust T’Challa that failed in 616 worked. Was not happy about it, but accepted it for the greater good of Wakanda. -Anelle von Doom, likewise owing to a political marriage, albeit rather different. Anelle was even less happy about this, but her father was on an enemy-of-my-enemy kick and thought he could handle Doom after the FF were eliminated. Suffice to say, this didn’t work out so well for him. On the plus side, Emperor Victor I is actually doing a good job running the Skrull Empire, which as a bonus is a lot more work than running Latveria, reducing the amount of free time Doom has to scheme. -Emma Von Doom, from a world where the Hellfire Club thought they could get away with manipulating Doom. Unsurprisingly, they were wrong. Emma still ended up making a Heel-Face Turn eventually, though. -Loki Von Doom, from a world where the whole Cabal thing went very, VERY differently. The Token Evil teammate. The Stormborn, a collection of sons and daughters of Johnny Storm, from timelines where everyone’s favorite matchstick was killed by Doom. Said folks have therefore dedicated themselves to avenging their parent by hunting down and killing every single Doom in the Multiverse. -Namor Storm, the Human Geyser; leader of the team, son of Johnny and Namorita, named for his uncle. Has the standard human/Atlantean hybrid powerset, plus steam powers. -Agatha Evans-Storm, the Fantastic Witch; Johnny’s daughter with his OG girlfriend Dorrie Evans. Despite having a kid together, the issues that caused them to break up in 616 remained, and they separated, retaining joint custody of their daughter (who was named after her cousin Franklin’s nanny, who had recently died). Unlike her cousins she appeared to be totally normal. When she turned 13, however, she was kidnapped by Dr. Doom, who was on a magic kick and had discovered that being named after the old witch created a slight but distinct mystic connection that he could exploit as part of a plan to become the God of Witchcraft by ritually sacrificing her. She was saved, but at the cost of her father’s life. Also, she became a witch, and was subsequently apprenticed to Wanda. -Luna Storm, She-Serpent; from a world where Johnny left the FF to be with Crystal. Like her cousin Franklin, Luna is a mutant, with the power to control the weather, though it took people a bit to figure this out what with living on the Moon and all. Obviously, the subsequent history of the Inhumans was rather different, but a Terrigen Bomb was eventually released, and to everyone’s relief Luna managed to survive. She did turn into a winged snakewoman who breathes poisonous gas though, which kinda sucks. -Wyatt Storm, Speed-Hulk; Johnny and She-Hulk’s kid, named after Johnny’s BFF and Jen’s ex, Wyatt Wingfoot. As the name suggests, is a Hulk, and also a speedster. -JJ and Jeannie Storm, the Mutant Torch and Firebird; Johnny’s twin son and daughter with Rachel Summers (or Rachel Grey, whichever you prefer). They’re both Omega-class mutants like their mom; JJ is a teep, Jeannie is a teek, and they’re both pyrokinetic. Also, they can do that thing Aurora and Northstar or Fenris do, where they can become even more powerful by holding hands. -Jimmy Storm, the Human Robot; from a world where Roberta the Robot Receptionist was upgraded to sentience, and she and Johnny fell in love and got married. The one flaw in their marriage was the obvious inability to have children, and so for their second anniversary, Reed presented them with a child-form robot (named after the OG Human Torch) with an AI that was initially simple but designed to learn and grow in the way child would, albeit somewhat faster. The plan was to periodically upgrade him to simulate physical aging, but when he was two years old (though emotionally, intellectually, and in physical appearance being more like ten), Doom decided to launch a frontal assault on the Baxter Building, which involved destroying Roberta. Driven berserk by rage and grief, Johnny subsequently killed Doom, but was himself killed when Victor’s armor self-destructed, leaving Jimmy orphaned. That was ten years ago, and he has refused to change his appearance since. Like his mother, despite his harmless appearance, Jimmy is super-strong and tough, and possess a small arsenal of built-in weapons. -Ramonda Storm, the White Wolf; Johnny’s daughter with Shuri. Has no inherent powers (unless you count being able to consume the heart-shaped herb safely), but is a tactical/strategic genius on par with her Uncle T'Challa. When said uncle was injured and her Aunt Ororo killed by a Sentinel attack, she donned the long-abandoned ceremonial garb/vibranium-laced hi-tech suit of the White Wolf to assist her cousin Azari in tracking down and bringing to justice those responsible. You can imagine how she reacted when her own father was killed by Doom.
