Amesidian was a Kaphisian scientist who was the director of the Flavros Project, and the former First Scientist of the Kaphi realm before its disintegration. Amesidian is a defused gem born as Ametrine, having an identical (yet male) twin called Citrine, who was later known by their codename "Samekh." Amesidian was one of the pre-eminents of Kaphi society, as was their protégé Carbonado. Heavily obsessed with the ideas of fate and prophecy, Amesidian brought word of a prophecy known as the Loom of Fate to the Kaphi'si, revealing to them that one day the commanders of the heavens would fall down to Theia, returning the powers of fate and destiny to the people. As commanded by Black Opal, Amesidian studied at the Sothro Institute to gain a deeper insight on the prophecy, but soon grew to resent it. In response to this, and to a failed attempt by Carbonado to establish suzerainty over the universe, Amesidian oversaw the Flavros Project - a millennium-long plan to "usurp fate" through a destructive superweapon. However, her plans would be thwarted, and she was soon executed by Diamond-1.

Through her highly experimental work concerning the unstable yet controlled fusion of certain Kaphi'si beings, known as "gem fusion", she created Carbonado through two Diamonds.

History

Amesidian was born as a pure Kaphi'si around 650 BCE, around three hundred years before the Theian Cataclysm. Her birth was and still remains the only Amesidian to have existed, meaning her existence was of great importance almost immediately. From a young age, she took a keen interest in the religion and lore of the Nine Gods of Theia, and by the age of twenty (still a child in Kaphi'si terms) she worked as a handmaiden to the archon of Lilaci'ah, Hecate.

On one fateful day, she was possessed by a then-unknown figure, later revealed to be the future fate Earendel, and proceeded to preach to the masses about a forecoming prophecy concerning the future of the universe. She proclaimed that the natural order of time was the works of the Three Fates who commanded the Loom of Fate, and that one day the natural order would be destroyed, and a fate would descend as a mortal to the planet Theia. This event was highly traumatic for her, and she soon grew to resent the natural order of the universe, interpreting the prophecy as a means for mortals to seize fate. On Black Opal's order, she was sent to study at the Sothro Institute, and soon after disappeared. Her whereabouts were unknown, and many presumed she was dead. However, she had retreated to the depths of the San Iujadis Caverns, later known as the TERAPRO caverns (as the facility would later be constructed there by Carbonado), which formed her base of operations, forming the nucleus of the Flavros Project.

The Flavros Project consisted of two major components as her means of "usurping" fate - a destructive laser superweapon powerful enough to destroy stars, and a tear emulator. In her eyes, "usurping fate" was purely a metaphor (although the Flavros Project did require the prophecy to have become true), because in her eyes she could control the universe much like the fates were prophesied to do through fear. The portal technology in use meant that the location of the superweapon was covert, meaning that the superweapon's existence could not be countered through mutually assured destruction. The superweapon itself was an extremely energetic laser sourced from the energy contained within Diamond-type Kaphi, who were birthed and then killed. An exception was Carbonado, a fused gem of two diamonds originally produced for the Project who Amesidian raised as children, before they were eventually fused and sent to the surface. Carbonado would be indirectly mentored by Amesidian though they never met, and Carbonado would never discover the Flavros Project.

Centuries later, and well after TERAPRO's founding, Carbonado would initiate his own scheme to rule the universe, perhaps similarly inspired by the prophecy, by planning his own "death" when in reality he underwent soul-shattering, and carefully manipulating Lazuli to bring his original conscience to reality from the Realm of the Forgotten so he could ascend to the fourth dimension. However, his plan would fail after a soul-shattered Cormac Connolly was similarly manipulated by Citrine (as Samekh) to oversee the construction of the World Machine to counter Carbonado's scheme. With Cormac and Carbonado both dead, the Flavros Project prepared to activate.

Carbonado's true nature as a fused gem would be discovered by Isla, who defused his dead body into the constituent gems now known as Diamond-1 and Diamond-2. They retained their pre-fusion memories, and thus knew about the Flavros Project's existence, which ultimately doomed the project. Teaming up with Isla, alongside many others, they sought to unravel the nature of the Flavros Project and Amesidian's plan to usurp fate. However, their discovery would be initially thwarted by Amesidian, whose metaphor acted as bait and as a contingency protocol in case the Flavros Project were to be discovered. She fired the Project for the first time in an attempt to kill them, but they barely escaped with her lives. Their survival put both them and Amesidian in check - they could not expose the Project in fear of it being used, yet Amesidian could not use the Project if people who knew where it was located were still alive.

In her attempt to cover up the incident, she forcibly assumed control over TERAPRO and locked down the facility, cutting off all channels. However, her opponents would break in by baiting her to attempt to kill them once more, allowing them to travel back to the facility through a portal opened by the Project. This heavily damaged the superweapon, and was in dire need of repair if it were to be used. This allowed the group to expose the Project to the world, causing TERAPRO to be breached and Amesidian being cornered in the Project. In a last ditch attempt to protect the weapon, she fused with Citrine to become Ametrine once more, taking on the monikor "Schadenfreude." However, she would be fooled by Daniel, who sacrificed his life by taunting her with what appeared to be a digiverse prism, something which could destroy the Project for certain, allowing the group with a real digiverse prism to initiate its destruction.

heir plan was a success, and as she watched the Flavros Project implode on itself, Diamond-1 would execute both her and Citrine with the Sceptre of Discernment, an ancient relic that could shatter a Kaphi'si. Before her death, however, she would make her final prophecy, warning of impending doom as a result of the Flavros Project's destruction.
