What a Gem!
This is a Create a Sim contest to populate a new town for me. The town will be a little bit mystical (basically HS!)
Rules:
Choose a gem stone from the list at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gemstone_species
I will allow up to two entries per stone. If your stone of choice has already been taken twice, then please choose another. Entries for stone choice accepted on a first-come, first serve basis. You may wish to reserve your stone choice early! You may wish to do this by reserving a posting a partially completed entry form (name and stone choice), which can be found at the end of this post (it will make my life easier if you do!).
Create your sim with name, clothes and, if possible, traits to match (check out what the gemstones might/used to signify - a lot of them were thought to be calming, passionate, healing etc, at least one trait should try and reflect a quality if possible - this might require you to do a little research!).
First or last name must include the name of the gemstone (this way there is scope for male sims too eg Pete Garnet).
I'd prefer young adult sims, but adult sims are fine too.
Each entry must have a description of at least 3 sentences (preferably more), describing their personality and perhaps their background. It doesn't have to be gemstone related but it does have to tie in with their character. So a red headed ruby might have a more passionate back story than a calm, laid back Emerald, for example. A more well thought out, detailed back story will lead to more points!
Maximum of 2 entries per person, but they must be for different stones AND of different genders (I want to make sure there are men in my game too!)! Highest scoring sim from the two entries will be put forward for a chance to win.
Sims must be uploaded to the exchange, as I intend to download them to populate a town.
Absolutely no CC, except for patterns made with CAP and available on the exchange. Please include a link if you do use CC patterns so I can check them out.
All store, xp and stuff pack clothing is fine.
Minimum of 4 screenshots, one of which must be a close up headshot and one in everyday wear. Further shots/links to slideshows etc are up to you, but they must be in CAS studio or in game - no manipulation of images please.
Judging
Sims will be judged on:
Creativity regarding the theme (choice of colours, recolours etc), 50%
Well thought out back story 20%
Quality of screenshots. 15%
The overall impression (Wow factor) 10%
Following the rules e.g. using correct entry form 5%

Other Info
I am looking or up to 2 judges to help me with this contest, at least one needs some judging experience as this is all new for me!
If you have any questions, please ask them - this is my first contest, not counting lottery type stuff, so I'm bound to have missed something!

***Custom Content Found!***
11/01
Tonight I have run all existing entries through Custard, and the following entries show custom content of some description. You have until the close of the competition to amend your entries and resubmit a new download link. If no amends are made, or if CC is found after the resubmission, then points will be deducted from your score. With the heavily improved prize fund, it's in your interest to check your own sim and make those amends. If you don't currently have Custard, I highly recommend installing it.

Wow....
You guys all did yourself proud. All the judges agree that this was a hard contest to judge. And I mean, really, really hard. Honestly - if I could give you all a prize, I would! You all showed a great deal of creativity and some of the entries really did blow us away!!
Thank you to my lovely judges, illusie and Skymyst, both of whom, like myself, probably didn't anticipate the number of entries and therefore worked their socks off!
Thanks to my great sponsors, Rybysim, nedswife and Blacksheba1973 - without their generous support I wouldn't be able to offer so many prizes.
And thanks to you all for entering, supporting each other with recs and positive comments, and being so patient while we judged.

Sims Name: Joelle Tigreyse
Description: Tiger's Eye
Traits: Adventurous, Lucky, Disciplined, Ambitious, Brave
Download Link: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4684876
Pictures:
As a child, Joelle was adventurous, much to the dismay of her parents who believed a little girl should be sweet and demure, rather than off getting into trouble. One of her outings led to her near death experience. Ever since that day, Joelle has felt an emptiness in her soul. She doesn't know what she is looking for, but she knows she must find it. She will let nothing stand in her way. Still getting into trouble, Joelle searches tombs and castles, mines and hidden woods, ever searching for that missing link in her soul. Her bravery often gets her into situations that only her luck and discipline will get her out of. She has finally decided that the thing she seeks is not here. Even at fancy events, Joelle is disillusioned and know she will have to expand her search. She has recently discovered a far off land, which many have rumored is full of mystery and mysticism. Is what she seeks nestled somewhere there?
Tiger's eye has the ability to attract good luck, and enhances your willpower and drives your will for success. It promotes clarity of intention, boosts self esteem, and gives courage, determination, and strength, leading to why I chose that Joelle be brave, disciplined and ambitious. She doesn't wear make-up because she is confident in her natural beauty.
After doing some research, I decided to not only make Joelle embody the essence of tiger's eye but also wear it. She never goes anywhere with some form of tiger's eye in her accessories. It is recommended that one carry it everywhere to help keep safe from any harm that may come his/her way. Joelle has had her tiger's eye since her brush with death and would never go anywhere without it.

Sign: Leo
Download Link: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4744494
Augie was born and raised in Twinbrook, his family was well off so it wasn’t until after High School that he saw the other side of town. It was then that he realized his true calling in life. So he packed his bags and headed to the Bridgeport College to study to be a Surgeon. After graduation the Hospital in Hidden Springs offered him a residency position. After googling Hidden Springs he thought it just might be the place he was looking for and happily accepted. Unlike Twinbrook with its swamps and fog, Hidden Springs had crystal clear waters and fresh mountain air, even the earth seemed more alive. As he looked out over the town, he couldn’t help but wonder, had he found “home”?

Peridot is associated with love, truth, faithfulness and loyalty – Family-Oriented
Properties for the Peridot are fame, dignity, and protection. – Brave
The symbolic meaning of the color green was renewal of life and nature. – Eco-friendly
Since it is the Birthstone for Leo I wanted to use something from the Leo traits also.

Leo Weakness Keywords: Pretentious, Domineering, Melodramatic, Stubborn, Vain. I picked Dramatic.

Sims Name: Amethyst Stone
Description: Amethyst is a pale lilac to violet to red-violet color through to a deep rich purple color.
Traits: Brave, Good Sense of Humor, Snob, Rebellious and Disciplined
Lifetime Wish: Lap of Luxury
Favs: Lavender, Classical and Autumn Salad
Sign: Aquarius
Download Link: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4744491
Amethyst can’t remember not having her Birthstone ring. She wears the stone and its gorgeous color 24/7. Her Dad had been so happy they were going to have a baby girl he had rushed out to buy the ring for his little Princess and her Mom had so loved the name of the stone that they decided to name her after it. She grew up in Riverview an only child and was loved and spoiled beyond belief. But, tragedy struck her Junior year in High School and both her parents died. Not being of age she had to move to Twinbrook to live with her Aunt. When she turned 21 she found out that she had inherited a place in a town called Hidden Springs, she couldn’t pack her belongings fast enough. She didn’t like the south and Riverview held too many bad memories, maybe this was just the place she needed to find “home” again.

The Amethyst is associated with stability, peace, balance, courage, inner strength, sincerity and a calm disposition – Disciplined and Brave

See the Photo Album for more pictures. Once I got the hang of poses (more or less!) I had a terrific time taking pics, as you can see.
Additional info:
Native Americans used [black tourmaline] as a protective stone against negative spells...but when found included in Quartz, it not only breaks the spell, but has been known to energize the "victim" and actually enhance well-being! [...] Working like a lightning conductor, Black Tourmaline dispels the negativity and protects against harmful energies such as anger, envy, and greed.
It's metaphysical properties include grounding (it's associated element is earth), protection, and it increases physical vitality.
It is also said to relieve stress, clear confusion, and increase one's sense of purpose.
