7 | ''Minerva Gems'' (Formerly known as ''Rebel Gems'') is ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' fanseries, made by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/superscaryguy01 Battery]][[http://batterymaster.deviantart.com/ Master]], [[http://narath32x.deviantart.com/ Narath]], and Meiu. |

9 | It doesn’t follow Steven and the Crystal Gems; rather, it fallows a different rebel-Gem faction known as the Children of Minerva, protecting the eponymous planet and its people from a mysterious group of robots known as led by an entity known as Jet-bot and allied by a monstrous Gem known as Citrine. |

14 | ---- |
15 | !!Examples of tropes found in ''Minerva Gems'': |
16 | * AlienBlood: Unlike in the [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse series proper]], Gems are shown hemorrhaging a yellow blood-like substance when their body is damaged, as shown when a Jet-bot poofs an unfortunate Pearl and after Ruby gets a nose-bleed after tripping. |
17 | * AlternateUniverseFic: Take place in a different continuity then the show itself. In addition the [[LittleBitBeastly animalistic Gems,]] the ExpandedUniverse once stated that Rose Quartz never bubbled Bismuth, for example. |
18 | * BerserkButton: Jet-bot 57GDP is pissed Ruby when calls Citrine a "thing", and refers to him as an "[[ItIsDehumanizing it]]". |
19 | %%* BigBad: Citrine. |
20 | * BigBadWannabe: Jet-bot appears to the leader of the antagonists, but seems to be have no real power over Citrine as shown in her character teaser. |
21 | * BigGood: Thulite was orinally intended to be this in the original incarnation, as she was the unseen leader of the Children of Minerva, when in that version it was a rebel organization. Now that it is more of neutral group (and seems to still be affiliated with Homeworld}, there really isn't a Big Good anymore, and Thulite appears to be similarly neutral. |
22 | %%* ButtMonkey: Wheel-bot isn’t very lucky. |
23 | %%* TheDreaded: Citrine. |
24 | * EyesAlwaysShut: Olivine has these. Staurolite comments that it's hard to tell if she is awake or not. |
25 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Wheel-bot says he doesn’t approve of Jet-bot’s experimentation on captured Gems and Minervans. |
26 | * TheGhost: Thulite is mentioned in every episode so far, but never physically appears. |
27 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Fosterite, Citrine, most of the Jet-bots, and the building in the trailer all have a Blue Diamond insignia on them, implying that she been may been responsible for trying to colonize Minerva. |
28 | ** The ExpandedUniverse on Website/DeviantArt has revealed however, [[DeathOfTheOldGods the original Great Diamond Authority has long since been shattered or otherwise decomissioned,]] presumably including Blue. A [[MeetTheNewBoss new one]], however, [[OhCrap has taken it's place.]] |
29 | %%* TheHero: Ruby is shaping up to be this. |
30 | * LittleBitBeastly: Gems in this ‘verse have animal-like traits, in order to make them feel more otherworldly. |
31 | ** Rubies and Sapphires: Both have characteristics from goats (both being types of corundum), with Sapphires being based in particular off a cyclopoid mutation. |
32 | ** Quartzes: Dogs. |
33 | ** Aquamarines: Winged insects, mostly moths. |
34 | ** Topazes: Hippopotamuses. |
35 | ** An unknown Gem-type that the Tongue Monster belongs to, referred to as Labradorite: Birds. |
36 | ** Lapis Lazulis: Dolphins, with sheepshead teeth. |
37 | ** Centi’s Gem-type: Ground insects. |
38 | ** Bismuths: Gorillas. |
39 | ** An unidentified Gem-type that was part of Blue Diamond’s court: Tarsiers... and [[Music/{{Gorillaz}} Noo]][[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking dle.]] |
40 | ** Peridots: Reptiles. |
41 | ** Adverted with Pearls, which are almost completely human-like. |
42 | ** Zircons: Gibbon-like arms and shrew-like teeth. |
43 | %%* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Wheel-bot and Jet-bot 57GDP. |
44 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: Blue Topaz and Citrine look nothing like normal Topazes or Quartzes; Blue Topaz looks more like Lapis or Pearl, while Citrine resembles an oversized Minervan with some Quartz-like features. Justified, as the former is off-color and the latter is thought to be the result of the Jet-bot’s experiments. |
45 | ** A redesign [[DownplayedTrope downplays]] this with Blue Topaz, making her look more a normal Topaz, but still much smaller. |
46 | %%* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Adverted with the Minervans, Minerva’s native species of friendly LizardFolk. Played very straight with Citrine and the monsters at the lab. |
47 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Olivine's nightmare in in "Unbroken, Part 1" seems to imply this. She shown as wearing armor and carrying a gun, wounded, and stranded on an unknown planet, and constantly menaced by surreal monsters, all while trying to make it to a rescue vessel. |
48 | %%* TVHeadRobot: Wheel-bot and Jet-bot 57GDP. |
