Emerald Crystal Family Details
In Brief from the Blurb on the Crystal Family page:
Emerald Family: Based out of Crystal Angeles. Head of the family is __________. Though ___________ has yet to take up their role as the head of the family, they are the last direct descendant of the Kino line. There are a few cousins, both in the city and abroad who are also around, but the Emerald family is one of the smaller of the crystal families.
20-ish years ago a small, but powerful disease with a small spot took the city by storm. It killed hundreds, mostly the old and infirm-- and unfortunately the Emerald bloodline seemed particularly susceptible to the disease. Many of the main bloodline of the house of Emerald were killed, leaving the heir of Emerald a small child. Cousins and other members of the family more distantly blood related requested the other crystal families to guide the city in the family's keeping until the child grew old enough to take on the city for itself. It's entirely possible that another direct descendant, older and who survived, simply didn't want the position and stepped aside--- that's for the players to decide.
Generally Speaking about the Emerald Family...
The Emerald Family are the world’s smartest minds slammed into a think tank and made to breed. They are scientists, teachers, professors, doctors, financial wizards, retired starlets, etc. Their greatest desire, however, is not their craft, but teaching their craft to the young minds of the world. They are one of the poorest of the families, serving in every level of the community. Often the “rich” schools turn around and use that profit on the schools in the needy neighborhoods who can’t pay for a quality education. The rest of the money often goes to research and development. Of course, their finds often give them plenty of sway and influence with other crystal families as knowing what the “Next big idea” is, and having competent people teach your children are always in demand.
The Emerald Family are quieter then many of the other families, except perhaps the Onyx who are the quietest of them all. They are the educators, the quiet funders of projects to keep public schools open even when no funds are availible and dire hope is lost. They recruit from all walks of life, including from other crystal families, which makes their family line one of the most varied and "colorful."
The Emerald family, as a whole, generally view knowledge as important and something to be shared to everyone. In fact, it's everyone's duty to be educated and be able to make their own decisions- be responsible for their own actions. They encourage self awareness, thought, and most of all, pride in their family, their neighborhoods, and their cities.
That isn't to say they aren't rich, or powerful, or not crafty. They are. They just believe that their true purpose in life is not to take but to give back. Even if that means taking from other families, other places, to make sure there is enough knowledge and information to be shared to another generation.
Common traits in the family
Emerald family members tend to have a point or two in sharp, as well as a point or two in cool. It's not unheard of a few points in tough either, as Jupiter, and Nephrite both were very strong individuals and it would be something that went with their family.
Suggested Generic Powers:
Small plant magic
Stargazing/Astrology
Skilled Researching
Notable Faces in the Family (NPCS and PCS)
Planetary Culture from the Ancient Times
Jupiter Culture back on the Moon resembled more of a native american, independent culture very in-tuned with nature.
