First some explanation
The color of a gem can give you a good indication of what their personalities are because of the way gems are made by the diamond putting their essence into their creations resulting in the gem inheriting looks powers and personality traits from their creator
All the diamonds contribute to gem making process so a single gem usually is a combination of diamond traits it’s just that the mixture is uneven so the diamond that contributes more is the one that they get more from
An example of a gem that is a mix of multiple diamonds would be holly blue age she is a light blue with purple hair meaning the diamonds who’s essence was used to create her are pink white and blue
if it is a green gem then they have similar personalities to and even look like blue diamond and yellow diamond just like a red gem would be like pink diamond and yellow diamond
Powers and roles are also a good way to glean information about a gem
blue gems are elites that can control water and ice they are mellow but they let their emotions stew and spill over
Yellow gems make up much of the military and are technicians they are rational dutiful but also blunt
Pink gems are immature but empathetic the roles they take are entertainers and artists they seem to have an easier time shape shifting (their is a theory I’ve seen that they have fire powers but pink diamond never demonstrated it despite gems with pink essence having that ability)
White gems are perfectionists and self centered and are very high ranked
white gems or gems that are lighter shades of the colors have high positions the lighter blue gems are higher than others(aquamarine and sapphire) while the darker shades or mixed with to many different colors while valuable are not as high on the hierarchy( lapis and holly blue agate) also dark yellow or gems that are a yellow combo with pink and blue are common soldiers but topazes are a lighter shade of yellow than other yellow gems and also have a higher ranking than jasper who is orange
So Color is a good thing to keep in mind when making a gem au
Using the information we can guess what their factory settings are
Jimmy is a blue gem but is lighter than the average lapis and a little bit of green so if he was hit with a rejuvenator then I think his base personality would be like the sheriffs from empires season 2 but the negative traits turned up
From white he has a I can do no wrong attitude
From yellow he gets his stubbornness
From blue he gets petty ness and elitism
It sounds worse than it is he acts like an upper crust gem only sticking around because grian is a higher ranking than him but he ignores the lesser gems and gross organic life surrounding him
In order to get him back they need to jog his memory and for use to figure out what needs to happen to get him back we should make a back story here is my take
As soon as he emerged he was placed in a group of lapis they acted very much like mean lapis and nice lapis from the show very snide with lots of high school mean girl energy
but after he majorly screwed up on a terraform project he was sent to reeducation and when he returned they turned on him he became an outcast on the other side of the snide remarks
and because of that realization once he reformed he made a change to his form by adding a veil he tried to hide his face out of shame but he also had hope that if he tried to get back in to the group he would eventually be excepted back but no matter what he tried he messed it up
After three major failures the empire had given up on him and he was to be harvested but fortunately that was where he met a captured rebel martyn who he bonded with
While they were waiting to be harvested they joked around and martyn made a joke about jimmy but to jimmy’s suprice he was not hurt by it because it didn’t feel malicious and like he was excluded
he found he liked being the butt of the joke and opened up so when other rebels came for martyn Jimmy was offered a place on the team
Cut to current day and he doesn’t have his memories so In order to jog his memory he needs to get a slice of humble pie which won’t be hard to pull off because he is naturally clumsy but it can only be done by grian
Because if he is humiliated by a gem he sees as bellow him then he will pretend he didn’t hear the comments but if it is by an equal or superior then he will move on to the vail stage
Then he will progress the veil stage and to get back his memories he needs to be put in a situation where he is emotional done and is with a gem lower on the totem pole that makes fun of him and he is ok with it

This is empires season 1 king Joel’s weapon of choice
I imagine he would be a rich ex king when he was young he and techno new each other he was sweet and kind and techno was working in the castle as a gardener or something squid got very interested in techno because he didn’t respect him like all the other people that worked for his family and so he had someone teach techno how to sword fight he would regret that decision when his parents died and he was made king he changed during that time and became a huge brat he was a teenager who’s parents died and had the responsibility of running a kingdom thrust upon him the power went to his head and techno watched as this kid he had known got slowly turned into a power hungry and sadistic tyrant that experience was what turned techno into the anarchist we see to day he started a revolution and was going to dethrone squid but before that could happen squid found out he took as much of his valuables as he could and fled that was the first government techno abolished and squid has spent all the time they have been apart stewing and nursing a grudge he has come back for revenge and will use all the wealth power and influence he has left to hire people to go and kill techno
On a different note he is still rich and has very expensive taste he hears suits not just because he likes to show of his wealth but also because he is very short and looks very young because of his appearance he is mistaken for a child and gets made fun of for that so he try’s to look and act very mature
I have a theory I think that the reason jack manifold managed to come back to life was because drista he like many others before him tried to escape the afterlife and drista being the dream Smp equivalent of the the devil is in charge of making sure people stay there so she went to stop him but before she could he shouted something about wanting to kill Tommy and drista who finds Tommy’s misfortune very entertaining decided to not only let him got but also helped get him there quicker by making it easier for him she loves watching jack and Nikki try to kill Tommy for her it’s like watching Tommy and jerry and team rocket
I hated it at first but now I love what it adds to his character looking back and watching his behavior
his hatred of Americans was self hatred
And his goals of him wanting to be remembered
Also his afterlife he was just a average guy working at a gas station boring and always the same so when he got isekaied into another world he lost it I think this ending is great because it’s him going back to his regular life willingly it’s like an Alice in wonderland story where he learns a lesson and returns home changed
I’m also very excited to see fan works with this new information
I head cannon that Tommy’s dad or ancestor participated in the Antarctic empire on the side opposing techno and Phil
I head cannon that Tommy has yellow wings like a baby chicks and as he grows into an adult his wings will turn white
Man-eating sirens have plagued these waters for as long anyone can remember. Now, as you sail across the ocean with your crew, siren songs begin to entrance everyone on board. In a desperate move to save the others, you try something no one else has tried before; you sing along with them.
