★ Millions and millions of years ago, when Ditee-ath was created in the big bang, the planet was home to only vegetation, water and microorganisms. One of these microorganism species ended up evolving into the Gemmadites. Their evolution slowly started when the microorganisms began to feed off of particles from various gemstones that they could find in mountains, forests and underground. As millennia passed by, the microorganisms grew larger and larger, and the gemstone particles that they consumed became part of them. After a few million years the microorganisms had evolved into an early version of the Gemmadite species and kept evolving until they fully evolved into the nowadays Gemmadites.
When Gemmadites had evolved from their microorganism state and began to roam Ditee-ath they were all mainly living on the ground, to stay away from the dangers of what was lurking in the volcanic mountains and from the incredible heat. However, some Gemmadites got curious and adventures, and decided to explore the cold and icy mountains of their home world. As years went by, those Gemmadites began to adapt to the living conditions of living in super cold temperatures, and after many centuries they had evolved and become fully adapted. The Gemmadites that started living in the hot and volcanic mountains called themselves Ignisdites.

★ Ignisdites are similar to Gemmadites in anatomy. The difference between the anatomy of the two species is that Ignisdites have:
- Dragon-like wings
- Reptile-like feet
- All of their teeth sharp
- Horns (Please look at the reference sheet)

★ They have a skeleton like humans, but their skeleton is weaker and prone to break more easily, however, their skeleton is protected by a layer of raw gemstone. The layer of protective gemstone is called "the gemstone skeleton". The gemstones are in their raw rough state, not the polished state. When an Ignisdite dies, the gemstone skeleton disappears.

★ They don't have any specific physical build. They can be muscular, buff, scrawny, slim, curvy, plump and overweight. These physical builds are not fixed to just one gender.

★ On average, male Ignisdites are 185 cm tall and female Ignisdites are 165 cm tall, however, that doesn't mean that they can't be taller or shorter than that.

★ Their skin color is like humans. It varies from light skin tones to dark skin tones, but they have markings on their bodies in a wavy pattern with a thick "outline". The markings are on:
- Their hands, which stretches up to just under the elbow on their forearm.
- Their feet, which stretches up to just under their knees on their shins.
- Their shoulders.
- Their faces to the tip of their tails. The markings start on their cheekbones, then goes up to their forehead and down their nose. Their entire top of the head has markings and it goes down their spine and to the tip of their tail.

★ The color of their markings depends on which type of gemstone their gemstone skeleton is made of. The "outline" (The thick line around the marking itself) is always a darker color than the color of the gemstone, and the marking itself is either lighter in color, or the exact color of the gemstone. If a Ignisdite has a gemstone with more than one color, or a gemstone with a pattern, the markings will have all of the colors/patterns of the gemstone.

★ The color of their hair and eyes resembles the color of their gemstone. If a Ignisdite has a gemstone with more than one color, for example an ametrine, the hair can be purple and the eyes can be orange. Their hair can even be ombre, which isn't limited to only gemstones with more than one color, but for a gemstone with just one color, for example red spinel, the ombre will go from dark red to light red-ish pink.

★ Ignisdites are born with both female and male genitals, which is something they had from their microorganism time. One of the genitals is dominant to the other and will determine the gender of the Ignisdite, while the non-dominant genitals will be hidden inside of their body. Ignisdites can make the hidden genitals appear at their will. This means that it isn't only straight couples that can have biological offspring, but same sex couples can as well. While they are born as male or female it's common that some wish to identify as something else.

★ Ignisdite babies take after one of their parents regarding their gemstone skeleton and the lowest rarity will be dominant to the higher rarity. For example: If their parents have an amethyst and a citrine, their child will have the amethyst. It's possible for the child to take after a grandparent's gemstone, and in such cases it's also the lowest rarity gemstone they will get. However, taking after a grandparent is very rare. On extremely rare occasions, the child will take after the higher rarity parent (Please look at the mutations).

★ Double ears The smaller set of ears has no function in the mutation. They don't have any ear canals, ear drums or any other ear anatomy that makes them function. The ears do have nerves, so they can feel pain. Scientists believes that this mutation occurs from an old trait the Gemmadite species had in their early evolution, long before some of the Gemmadites evolved into Undadites, Geludites and Ignisdites. Studies of the Gemmadite evolution shows that the smaller set of ears were used to pick up sounds the other set of ears couldn't and be warned about predators. The smaller set of ears slowly disappeared as the species evolved, grew bigger and developed better defense mechanisms to protect themselves.

★ Two gemstones of the same rarity This mutation happens when the baby is developing in their parent's womb and the gemstone trait from both parents mix together instead of one becoming dominant. The gemstone skeleton will then have two gemstones instead of one, which means that the markings, hair and eyes will have the colors and patterns, if any, of both gemstones. This mutation only happens to Gems whose parents' gemstones are of the same rarity. For example: Two commons or two rare. The mutation can't cross over the rarities, since the lower rarity gemstones are dominant to the rarities above it. This means that a Gem with a legendary gemstone and a Gem with a rare gemstone won't have a child who has a mix of their gemstones.

★ Incomplete gemstone skeleton This mutation indicates that the gemstone skeleton is incomplete and has holes where there are no gemstones, which means that the gemstone skeleton is weak and is not as strong as a normal gemstone skeleton. Gems with this mutation are more prone to break their bones. When the gemstone skeleton is incomplete, the markings are incomplete as well. There will be "holes" in the markings where it would usually be solid marking, and small spots of markings will appear where it usually won't.

★ Double ability By "default" all Gemmadites, Undadites, Geludites and Ignisdites each have an elemental ability "Earth, water, ice and fire), but some Gems may get a second ability. This mutation only happens to Gems who are a cross between two Gem species, for example, an Ignisdite and a Gemmadite. A Gem who's a cross between an Ignisdite and a Gemmismae can also get their Gemmismae parent's ability. (Please look at the Gemmismae info under "Abilities" for information about their different abilities).
(Note: If one parent is a Gemmismae, and their ability is unique, you need a trait upgrade to get that ability for this mutation.)

★ Black sclera and white iris When the Ignisdite is in their parent's womb the sclera is dyed black, the iris goes white and no pupils develop, so optic nerves are in the iris instead. This happens if something severe happens to the pregnant parent. This mutation can also cause a few eye problems such as:
- Being born blind
- Lowered vision
- Sensitive to light

★ Colored sclera and white pupils This mutation is the same as the "Black sclera and white iris", but instead of the sclera being dyed black, the sclera will be colored instead and will take on the color of their gemstone. Just like the black sclera mutation, this mutation can cause the same eye problems such as:
- Being born blind
- Lowered vision
- Sensitive to light

★ No pupil, sclera will be gemstone color This mutation is the same as the "Black sclera and white iris", but instead of the sclera being dyed black, it will be the color of their gemstone, and the iris and pupil won't develop. The eyes still have an optic nerve, but can face the same problems as the black sclera mutation:
- Being born blind
- Lowered vision
- Sensitive to light

★ One glowing eye This mutation is caused from poisonous plants that a few Ignisdites ate in their organism days, but never ate enough of to develop into a Gemmismae. One eye can glow in the dark, but isn't visible during the day, or where there's light. However during the night and in darkness you can't avoid seeing it. The Gem can control the brightness of the glow. The glowing eye gives night vision on the eye and makes it easier to see in darkness.

★ Two glowing eyes This mutation is really the same as the "One glowing eye" mutation, but it affects both eyes instead of just one. The Gem can control the brightness of the glow.

★ Gemstone encrusted skin This mutation happens when the Gem is in their parent's womb and small clusters of gemstones on the gemstone skeleton grow faster than the rest of the gemstone skeleton. These small clusters poke through the skin of the Gem, not the marking. They don't grow bigger than half a centimeter above the skin. However, if a Gem with this mutation decides to grow gemstones from their markings, the gemstones that poke through the skin will grow as well. This is extremely painful and will cause bleeding and ripping of the skin, since their skin isn't made for gemstone growth like their markings are. The gemstones that grow from the ones that are poking through the skin will fall off by themselves and go back to just poking through the skin.

Legendary:

★ The child will take after the higher rarity parent.

For example: If a common and a rare Gem have a child together, this mutation will give the child the same rarity as the rare parent.
_{This mutation cannot be obtained through a normal mutation add on! It can only be obtained through a rare special event!}

★ Ever since their microorganism state, it's been common for Ignisdites to be in polyamory relationships, for example, two males and a female. However, they've never had more than four mates at a time. It doesn't mean that all relationships are polyamorous. Mates of just two are more common than polyamory.

★ Ignisdites don't call their life companion(s) for husband or wife. They refer to them as their mate(s).

★ When an Ignisdite finds their mate they feel an electric spark ignite inside of them called "The spark", which spreads through their body like a small jolt of electricity. When the spark happens, they feel a pull towards their mate that only they can feel and they know then and there, that they're each other's mate. The spark can happen to Ignisdites who have known one another for many years, but they can also feel the spark for someone they barely know, or just met, although that is rarer to happen. If two mates are meant to have a third or fourth mate, all of them will feel the spark when they meet. Some Ignisdites might feel the pull of the spark towards their mate before they come of age for the spark, however, the spark won't happen until they are of age.

★ Their loyalty to their mate(s) is unbreakable. They don't know the term "cheating on", as it's not something that would ever cross their minds to do. It's very common for Ignisdites to have been in relationships with other Gems before they find their mate.

★ Shortly after feeling the spark, the two, or more, enter a short period called "Bonding", which is a very private time for the Gems involved, as it's a time for them to seal the spark between them. The bonding period lasts 2 Ditee-ath days (Equivalent to 3,5 Earth days) and is usually a very sexually intimate time, however, it isn't always. It all depends on the Gems.

★ Once the bonding time is over, and the spark is sealed, the connection between their mates is something special. Being close to their mate when they're in pain, feeling down, or otherwise not feeling well, can help them feel better and relieve some of the pain. They will from time to time feel small sparks from touching their mate.

★ Ignisdites can reject the spark if they, for whatever reason, don't want their fated mate, however, it's an incredibly painful process for all Gems involved. The rejection process lasts as long as the bonding time, and during those 2 days the Gems involved will feel an immense and unbearable pain in their entire bodies, their stomachs and chests the most, and feel feverish, nauseous and lethargic. It'll take up to a week for the Gems involved to get over the effects of rejecting the spark. The rejection has to be done pretty much straight away, since the spark begins to "seal" after an hour. Once the spark is sealed, it can't be undone. It takes just one of the Gems involved to reject the spark for the rejection process to start.

★ What is the spark? It has been the way for Ignisdites to find their mate, their life partner, ever since their time as tiny organisms. How it works, if it works through love, chance or spiritual forces, no one has been able to find out, as it's different from time to time, however, the spark is quite wise. As the Ignisdites evolved, the spark did too. It's able to tell a Ignisdite's sexual orientation and gender identity; a homosexual Ignisdite will only feel the spark towards another homosexual, and so on. The spark works differently on asexual Gems: An asexual Ignisdite who feels the spark, either towards another asexual or sexually attracted Gem, will still enter the bonding period, however, neither will feel the urge to be sexually intimate. When Ignisdites find their mates, they don't marry one another as humans do. Feeling the spark and going through the bonding period is their own intimate "wedding", so to say.

★ Ignisdites don't feel the spark towards relatives! As the spark is the species' way of finding their lifelong partner(s) to be with and potentially have offspring with, they can't feel the spark towards relatives. They also don't seek out relationships (before the spark) with relatives, neither romantic nor sexual!

★ Ignisdites can't feel the spark and find their mate until they are at least 18 years old. It may happen as early as on their 18th birthday, but no earlier than that.

★ The "prime time", so to say, that Ignisdites find their mate(s) are from when they are 18 to 50 years old. That doesn't mean that they can't find their mate(s) after they have turned 50, but it's before that, that it's more likely to happen.

★ Ignisdites can feel the spark towards other species as well, which is more uncommon, but it does happen. In situations like that, it's then up to the Ignisdite if they want to try and make the other fall in love with them or not. There is no set time for when the other should fall in love with them, but if they succeed at any time, the Gem will want the bonding period. The Gem may also at any point stop their advances if they can tell it won't lead to anything. If two, or more mates, feel the spark towards a none-Gem, it'll happen at the same time and all of them will have to work together to make the none-Gem fall for all of them, if they all agree to have another mate.

★ If an Ignisdite lose their mate(s) and becomes a widow/widower, the chance that they will find a new mate is close to zero, all depending on their age and if they "had the mates they were meant to have" so to say. At this point they can choose to be with another widow/widower, or someone who hasn't yet found their mate(s).

★ Ignisdites are pregnant for six Ditee-ath months, which is equivalent to nine months on earth.

★ Ignisdites are commonly pregnant with just one child at a time, however they can have twins and triplets as well, it's just a more rare occurrence. They can't be pregnant with more than three babies at a time. Ignisdites can have children with other species of similar anatomy to them (Please look at the crossbreeding section).

★ When it comes to childbirth, Ignisdites have a natural instinct about what to do during the process, both the Gem giving birth as well as their mate(s). This means that they like to give birth in the comfort of their own homes with just their mate(s) present. If a Gem has had a tough pregnancy, it's common for them to have a midwife and a doctor with them in case of complications.

★ They have the ability to create, manipulate and shape fire and magma. They can create flames in the palms of their hands and manipulate it around at will. They can ignite fire, extinguish fire, throw fire and emit fire from their body. They don't get burned when touching fire or magma, can control the heat of a naturally occurring fire, or one they ignited themselves, as well as control the flow of magma. The color of the flame changes depending on how hot it is:
- Red: 600 to 1.000 degrees Celsius
- Orange: 1.000 to 1.200 degrees Celsius
- Yellow: 1.200 to 1.400 degrees Celsius
- Blue: 1.400+ degrees Celsius

★ Their saliva has healing abilities, but it only speeds up the natural healing process of the body and lessens the pain of the wound slightly, which means that a wound can still scar. It won't be as if there wasn't a wound there in the first place. The strength of the healing depends on the rarity of the Ignisdite. Common and uncommon Ignisdites' salvia is only strong enough to speed up the healing process of scratches, shallow cut, first- and second-degree burns. Rare and legendary Ignisdites' salvia can speed up the healing process of the same type of wounds as common and uncommon, but also deep flesh wounds and third-degree burns.

★ Ignisdites can create gemstones out of the markings, however, it's the raw state of the gemstone and they can't create whatever gemstone they wish. They are limited to the gemstone their gemstone skeleton is made of. To make their gemstones grow they need to have consumed a part of the mineral that their gemstone skeleton is made of. For example: An amethyst Ignisdite needs to have consumed silicon in order to make the amethysts grow out of their markings. It takes about 24 hours for the gemstones to fully emerge from the markings in different sizes. The rough gemstones are 'harvested' either by waiting and letting them fall off of the Ignisdite's markings, which is the safest and most painless method, since the Ignisdite won't feel pain at all, or break the gemstones off of the Ignisdite, which is an extremely painful procedure, as it's the same as breaking their bones. To repair a broken gemstone skeleton, they have to eat just a tiny bit of the mineral their gemstone skeleton is made of.

★ The skin in the markings are "made" for gemstone growth and are a few layers thinner. This allows the gemstones from the gemstone skeleton to come through easily and painlessly. The rest of their skin is not made for gemstone growth and is protected by a membrane underneath their skin that stops the gemstones from growing out through that skin.

★ In self defense situations they can force parts of the gemstone skeleton to come out through their markings and work as weapons, due to the sharp edges of the rough gemstones. They can control which of their markings the gemstones come out of, but they can't break off the gemstones to wield them as a weapon, since that's extremely painful, so they have to swing their limbs in order to use the gemstones as weapons. It's possible for gemstones to break off while they defend themselves, if they hit them against something hard. The method to repair the broken off pieces is the same as repairing the gemstone skeleton if the gemstones were broken off after a gemstone production.

★ Ignisdites' fangs contain a paralyzing venom that can paralyze up to half an hour. They decide themselves if they want to inject the venom into whoever they bite. Their fangs are level with their other teeth, but can extend them when they feel threatened and want to inject their venom.

★ They have the ability to travel through gemstones and crystals on their own planet, but also to other planets since gemstones and crystals are a natural occurring phenomenon pretty much everywhere. They use gemstones for traveling when they are going across a region, a continent, and to other planets. They can travel through all types of gemstones and crystals, but if they travel through an amethyst they will also come out through an amethyst on the other end, since it's the same type of gemstone. That means that they can't travel through an amethyst and come out through a diamond. When they travel through gemstones and crystals they are faced with different "paths" that will take them to different places. The paths are not marked with words, but they have maps that show which paths lead to where on their own planet, as well as to other planets. The maps used to be paper maps, but nowadays they are digital.
They can't travel through crystals and gemstones they produce themselves; only naturally occurring crystals and gemstones, and it has to be big enough for them to go through.

★ They make a purr-like sound when they enjoy something, like, a massage, having their hair played with, being cuddled, and what else may make them feel content.

★ They do kiss to show affection to their mate(s), but giving their mate(s) a soft lick on their cheek with just the tip of their tongue is also a way of kissing for them. Another way to show affection to their mate(s) is to wrap their tail with theirs.

★ They grow out a piece of their gemstone to make into a piece of jewelry to give to their mate(s). The gemstone can be turned into a necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings or ankle bracelet.

★ Ignisdites have a slightly longer lifespan than humans, but not by too much. The oldest recorded Ignisdite was 160 years old. It is not uncommon for Ignisdites to die before they turn 100 years old.

★ Ignisdites are mainly carnivores and eat the creatures that live in the mountains or at the foot of the mountain. They do eat some fruits and vegetables, but rarely ever seafood.

★ Ignisdites are skilled and fast flyers.

★ Their tails have more strength than their arms. They can crush stones and rocks of various sizes, and lift them as easy as nothing with their tails.

★ Ignisdites have a better hearing than humans, due to their longer elf-like ears, which allow them to pick up sounds from far away more clearly.

★ They wipe their "feet" before walking inside their homes, other Gems' homes and stores.

★ Ignisdites live inside caves that are either carved by nature, or that they carved themselves into mountain sides, or underground in volcanic mountains. The inside of the caves are built up almost like houses on earth with a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedrooms. Wealthy families usually have more rooms, such as multiple guest rooms, bathrooms, a dining room and a ballroom. Some caves are carved directly into the mountains, but some are underground as well. There are typically no doors to the kitchen, living room, hallways or ballrooms, but there are doors to the bedrooms and the bathroom. The doors and their furniture are made of wood, but things like fridges, freezers, stoves, ovens, pots, pans and cooking utensils are typically made of metal. It is possible for Ignisdites to live in other worlds, but they tend to live in caves if possible, since that is what they are used to, however, that does not mean that they cannot live in a house

★ Ignisdites can be down from the volcanic mountains and live on land, but they aren't good with temperatures under 30 degrees Celsius, because of their usually burning hot environment. They can survive in temperatures all the way up to 200 degrees Celsius.

★ Ignisdites are smart and very curious creatures. They like to learn more about their own world, other worlds, other species and basically anything they will find interesting. They discovered early on in their evolution how to use deep underground crystals as their source of energy for various things.
