Tanzanite was a troubled gem. As you already know most gems choose to have a female form rather than a male form. But Tanzanite is one of the few gems on homeworld who choose to have a male form rather then a female form. He does have a weapon, but chooses not to use it. He can control an element, much like how lapis lazuli can control water, he can control fire. With his fire like abilities he can control, manipulate, produce, take flight with his fire. He also has many more outstanding abilities. But even with all these abilities, he was always bored. He'd lie on his back and shoot into the sky just to get rid of his boredom. No body could understand why Tanzanite was so bored. as A Tanzanite his job was to give homeworld as much energy it needed to survive so that gem species wouldn't die out. Not every Tanzanite control just fire, some control electricity, and pure plasma. As long as it was energy that helped homeworld. They where basically like batteries, but once they gave enough juice for machine or any form of equipment they were finished doing with their job for the day. Which can be very short or every long depending on the Tanzanite. Whether the time their working is long or short, a Tanzanite would be exhausted after doing this. Expect the male one, he was never be tired. which made other gems think he wasn't pulling his weight. Only to be surprised that he was pumping in much more firepower then the other Tanzanites. After doing this for millions of years he starting to wish something exciting would happen in his life. That Someone or something would please free him of his endless boredom. His wish was granted as found a working gem making blue prints for future construction and machines. After talking and spending a lot time with her, she started to notice that Tanzanite always had a reoccurring bored look on his face. Tanzanite figured he tell her about his boredom problem. After hearing him out, she told him that she would build something to help with his boredom. Her solution, A 7ft tall machine that Tanzanite could fight whenever and wherever he wanted. Tanzanite was skeptical at first, but after seeing it in action he was complete ecstatic and grateful. Tanzanite aren't known for their fight skill, in fact their mainly known, well as I said before, batteries. The thought of a Tanzanite being able to fight would have been as silly as A pearl on the battlefield, but Nothing gets passed Yellow Diamonds eye. She saw how strong, gifted and unique this Tanzanite was and thought he might be a greater asset to homeworld then as a mere battery. Time passes and Soon the Gem war was soon starting Tanzanite was going to do what he and the other Tanzanite usually do and give as much energy they needed to aid their fellow gems. But Yellow Diamond called him up and explained to him that she's been watching him for a while and sees that there's more to him that simple storing energy in machinery. She offers him a chance to join in the war and fight along side the other gems then simple watch from the sidelines. He obviously accepts and joins in on the war. On the battle field, he was the only Tanzanite in the battle, which made other gems think him being there was simply a insult. They thought why and how could a battery be any good on the field. He quickly showed them that he was a force to be reckoned with by quickly making a whole platoon of gems and humans a pile of ashes just from waving his arm. This shocked the other gems and even made him a leader of his own gems in a month. But in time, he began to grow arrogant and not follow orders. You see, as time went by wars got more violent which made Tanzanite more lethal. He had to make decisions that would even endanger fellow gems. Those orders where given strictly from Yellow Diamond, but that didn't make him fell him any better about abandoning fellow gems or committing executions. This is when he started to change, after doing this for so long he thought what's the point of fighting for our people if we abandon and shatter our own people? So this when he fought it was emotionless almost as if nothing bothered him. He flew up in the air like a shooting star flying across the sky and laying waste to the very ground he landed on. With on Swing of his arm, he destroyed a whole fleet of Roses followers including Yellow Diamonds, this infuriated Yellow Diamond making her explain that we don't destroy our own people. This annoyed Tanzanite, to point where he flew up to his leaders face and exclaimed and claimed then why have we been executing and abandoning our own people? He explains if theirs anyone who needs to be destroyed its Roses Quartz and her human pets and if Yellow Diamond won't do it, he will. After that out burst, he was going to finish Rose off himself, but before he could, Yellow Diamond quickly Capture him before he could get anywhere near an exit and sealed him in his gem and launched him deep into space so no one could find him. The other gems simple told The working Gem that the male Tanzanite was lost in battle. This devastated the working gem but Yellow Diamond figured that this working gem may be as useful as the Male Tanzanite seeing as they were both friends. The Reason Yellow Diamond Through Tanzanite into space wasn't just because of a punishment. He was very strong Gem and could've easily wipe out both sides of the war. Destroying his gem would've been to risky, if she or any of her other followers would've made a cluster fusion out of his shards they probably would've been to hard to control and He probably would've over taken the other gems as well. So Yellow Diamond decided it would be best to simply cast him to the far reaches of space never to been seen or heard from again. Soon afterwards, after spending a millennium in space, he eventually crash landed on earth in the 1960's hiding among the humans. With no ship or gem technology to take him home, not that he wanted go back because he was homesick or anything. Tanzanite realized what Yellow Diamond was doing was wrong, even if she's doing it to protect homeworld. Her intention are pure, but her methods aren't. So he's determined to get back to homeworld and stop her, no matter what.

And he have a button up coat like this i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/15…
But without his coat he has dark blue bodysuit underneath. Similar to this, www.bigbadtoystore.com/images/…
And has a symmetrical pattern like these www.google.com/search?q=symmet…
