Mindful Mentis, Purple Emerald: The power of the mind. Created by the first gods, symbolization of Mentis.(Latin for mind) Also mistaken as the one which controls the feverish emotions of the soul, when under one who can tap into it’s powers, as is amplifies the current feelings they have. But if one truly controls the powers which lay within, they can use the power of their mind to levitate objects, attack other minds, and generally amplify all aspects of their psyche.
Iblis, Destruction is thy name in the Red Emerald: The god of fire and destruction, symbolized by the fiery red emerald. The power this emerald can give shows off true mastery of brawn and steel, allowing the truest strikes and the best moves. Although in the holder of someone new to it’s abilities, they can go wild, mad, with the rush of energy this emerald can give.(Iblis - taken from Canon Sonic games) Also grants the control of the god’s element.
I see the Chaos and mercy in the Sapphire Emerald: The god of water and healing. This god was angered in the past and was mislabeled as the god of destruction for it’s rage. The real Chaos is loving and protective of it’s offspring, the chao. The power this emerald bestows upon one who can tap into it’s powers is the ability to heal their wounds in a soothing light. One who masters it’s energies can walk on water and make their bodies form into a liquid-like state.
Thunderous and good Tempestas of the Gold Emerald: Electricity flowing forth, the golden emerald sends out it’s abilities to those who can tap its godly powers. The speed and agility of a thunderbolt is in the users control, and if they can master it’s abilities, One can send forth mighty storms and thunderbolts where they please. The god of this emerald is Tempestas,(Latin for storm) who died trying to stop the crazed Iblis in another timeline.
Aequus, god of the Turquoise Emerald: The emerald of calm. This emerald provides the user with the clarity of all the greatest minds. The god who created it’s symbol in this emerald is Aequus(Latin for calm). To a master of tapping into the hidden powers of emeralds, they can see a destination clearly and make use of a teleportation effect.
Munimentum(Protect in Latin), the protective god of the Green Emerald: Munimentum once lived inside his emerald like all of the gods of the beginning, but was killed in the process of defending Sanctus from the fury of Iblis. His powers live on in the green emerald, which anyone who holds it can feel a protective barrier around them, shielding them from terrible accidents in a stroke of luck. This gave rise to the belief that it was a lucky charm, but that was laid to rest when a king who believed so much in the emerald that he flew himself from his highest tower, feeling that the emerald would make him fly to avoid death. It was the most gruesome death of a monarch in recorded history. One who can tap into the old powers can protect their mind from those who wish it harm, and one who had fully mastered the Emeralds protective magic can even repel some magical attacks, reflecting them back to their source.
The Holy White Emerald, Sanctus(holy in Latin): The white emerald has ironically been in the possession of evil men more then the hands of those who wish good upon others. Sanctus is the only god alive within the seven emeralds, thanks only to the efforts of Munimentum who sacrificed himself to protect Sanctus from a fire-y attack from an insane Iblis. In the shattered timeline of old, all the gods were omnipresent, and therefore were still dead when things were changed in the past. Only three gods were left, and recently, now only two. Sanctus can communicate with those who can tap it’s powers. Although to those of a evil will, Sanctus can only halt their use of his abilities, but his power can still be used normally, like all people who cannot tap powers. Sanctus takes the form of a white dragon in a pure user’s mind, and if they can fully use the Emerald to it’s abilities, One can summon the Holy Dragon Sanctus for a short time, taking on a physical form.
Vinco-Vici-Victum(control in Latin), Better known as the Master Emerald: The Master emerald is the most powerful god, the god who can control the three others, was unmercifully used and destroyed by the meddling of the god of Time, Solaris. Solaris, thoroughly weakened, was reduced only as a small flame, while Vinco-Vici-Victum suffered death. But his powers remain in the Giant Emerald. When in the possession of a guardian or one who can tap into the hidden abilities of the emeralds, the user can stop all use of the seven other emeralds, but only as far as normal usage. Against one who had mastered an emeralds abilities, they can use their powers still, but once one can fully control the Master Emerald, They can negate all effects of everything paranormal. This means magic and power not affiliated with Emeralds, such as electricity or fire.
Users:
Users are those who can directly claim affinity with the first civilization, and are not humans. Most users are wolf and other Canis, but there are a few who are scattered that can tap their power, which range from Hedgehogs to rats, to even golden hamsters. Although Mastery can take many years, those of the royal blood can connect with the Emeralds that much faster, as they were the only ones bestowed with the Gift of the Gods. Wings of Light. Although the barbaric royals could be seen as the least deserving, the gods respected their rise to power so early in the creation of the world. The royal king was a hedgehog of terrible power, who wielded the red emerald on his crown. The royal Queen held the Turquiose Emerald on her necklace, and the Green pendent was giving to the first son, as the sapphire one was given to his twin, the second son. Later, the daughter was given the White Emerald, and the last two Emeralds were never found in the life span of the royal family, which was seen as ended by the death of the daughter, but as time changed thanks to a corrupt scientist from the future, a son is known to live on in our timeline, unsure his past or his future, his heritage only a bleak memory.
Those from the original civilization are few now, as it fell apart and those who lived their mixed with those on the outside and bred out, only a few can channel the power of their ancestors and use the latent abilities hidden in each emerald.
The Royal Family(for me and only me. Bwa ha ha and all that.):
The royal family is a two generation long family who was hit with tragedy early on in it’s years, all supposedly dying, but one member survived by a twist of fate, and currently takes up residence in an underground home outside the city of Station square. The Hedgehog who lives there is an inventor with no real memory of his heritage. In Darksides - , it will be revealed, of course, along with the Koatica and the Elementis family sword, which you’ll learn why their connected with all this.
