Array Rubies are a type of power-emitting gem created by XophPsycho and Julia Finitevus that are literally the opposite of Chaos Emeralds. Being opposites, Array Rubies and Chaos Emeralds will cancel out each other's energies when in close vicinity.
History[]
The Array Rubies were created along with the Phantom Ruby many centuries ago. However, the amount of the Array Rubies were overpowering the small number of Chaos Emeralds around the world with their energy, and so the gems were sent to an alternate dimension. Soon, knowledge of the Array Rubies' strong power became lost to time. But the legend of their disappearance remained with future generations.
In a few hundred years, some scientists stumbled upon strange readings in an alternate dimension- as though someone had entered it, which let out some of the energy in that reality. Curious, the scientists attempted to find more information, but failed. Then the strange readings appeared again later, then once more. Despite all efforts, no further knowledge was found as to what the readings were. Some think it may be the Array Rubies, though many people are skeptical as to whether or not that is the case.
Eventually, the scientists ceased their work in attempting to find this strange phenomena. They stored away all information regarding the readings in several safes across the world, scattering it.

Appearance[]
Unlike the Chaos Emeralds, Array Rubies are uncut, rough, and imperfect in their appearance. However, they do happen to have a polished look. Size-wise Array Rubies are often around medium size, with two generally being able to fit in a single hand. They are also known to glow slightly, though not very much.
These gems can appear in a variety of different shades- ranging from a pinkish-red to a near blackish-red- and each representing some kind of emotion or feeling, along with the gem's shape. For instance, a fiery red would represent anger or power, and would be shaped vaguely like flames, whereas a burgundy would represent sorrow or loss, and would be shaped vaguely like a tear drop.
Known Shades[]
This is a list of known shades/shapes of the Array Rubies and what they represent.
Pinkish-red- represents love or joy, shaped like a heart.
Violet-red- represents jealousy or envy, shaped like an eye.
Fiery red- represents anger or power, shaped like flames.
Solid red- represents peace or calmness, shaped like a star.
Purple-red- represents selfishness or greed, shaped like a diamond.
Burgundy- represents sorrow or loss, shaped like a tear drop.
Blackish-red- represents evil or deceit, shaped like a spearhead.
Powers Granted[]
Despite the fact they are exact opposites, the Array Rubies are able to grant abilities that are extraordinarily similar to that of the Chaos Emeralds- such as short-range teleportation, throwable spear-like constructs, an explosive blast, and more depending on the user.
It should be noted that if a user is experiencing the same emotion or feeling that a Ruby represents, it's power will be amplified.
Trivia[]
An ironic detail is that the Chaos Emeralds- which represent disorder- are perfect and orderly looking, whereas Array Rubies- which represent order- are imperfect and disorderly looking.
