"Fusion" is applied when two or more characters or items are fused in one, which combine traits of the involveds; for gems (species) fusion is somewhat different.
Gems have the natural ability to fuse, and when it happens they form a being which own not only traits of the gems who originated it, but also some new; these fusions also have multiple limbs and/or eyes (unfused gems don't have these features).

You may wanna give up on that. They banned gems.

That's not correct, at all.

Most Gems are, by themselves, not considered site-relevant. That doesn't mean they are banned.

For one, given how inconsistent rules are regarding what makes something "sufficiently non-human", I'd not be surprised if multi-limbed and multi-eyed Gems were allowed by themselves anyway. Certainly they seem less human than elves, which are allowed.

However, what certainly would be allowed would be most corrupted gems (for a start). The Centipeetle Mother, in all her forms, is going to be site-relevant. Furthermore, even Gems like Pearl and Garnet would be allowed if they are paired with, say, Lion, or some other nonhuman.

I don't see anything wrong with a gem_fusion tag.

I still feel like it's never going to be the same.

Why not just use the standard fusion tag itself? I see zero point in using a tag that will apply only to one series when you could easily enough use a wider tag that means the exact same thing but for any series.

As explaned above, gem fusions (unlike common fusions) are more than a mix of characteristics of the original beings, they have some entirely new features like: particular traits, multiple limbs and/or eyes and bigger stature.

Sounds exactly like a fusion. You fuse two people together, you get traits from them. This can include height addition instead of averaging.

+1 to using fusion, no need to make extra tags.
