I was so inspired by that Steven Universe Powerpuff Girls AU that I decided to contribute with my OC Calypso! God I need to redraw him. He isn't always that grumpy, haha
His gem is a small version of the picture above, placed on his upper outer right arm.
Calypso was supposed to be an Amber, but thanks to a mistake on a kindergartener's part, he became an Ammolite in the middle of a group of Ambers.
Ambers were used for fighting and heavy lifting, and often fused together to ward off enemies, or carrying heavy technology. He was very reluctant on fusion because he wasn't with gems of his same type, but a bunch of Ambers ganged up on him and forced him to fuse with them, becoming a Chrysoberyl. Calypso was eventually unfused and freed, but deeply traumatised by the event.
No longer able to work under the conditions he was expected to, Calypso fled and became an off colour until he got transported to earth as a stowaway amongst a bunch of homeworld gems. He has lived on earth ever since in solidarity, exploring a small patch of meadow, collecting bugs and flowers, and finding out more about themselves
Calypso is wary about other gems, but he isn't against them. He's open to befriending others, and falling in love. However the first few times he is offered the chance of fusion, he may shy away, or have an outright panic attack for multiple reasons.
"I'm bad!! You don't want to fuse with me!!"
He's frightened about sharing his thoughts and feelings wholly with another person, he things he's wrong, a mistake amongst proper gems, and he's terrified he'll make the fusion ugly. He doesn't understand that fusion can be a beautiful act of love.
If he ever was to fuse, Calypso's fusion dance would be of a ballroom variety. Quiet and elegant to suit his personality.
Living his life on homeworld, Calypso would have had no need for a weapon, but once he ended up on earth, he tried to summon a weapon, and got something similar to this. The light is created similar to gem stabilisers, making him a dangerous enemy in the wrong hands.
