Background: Aventurine is strongly implied to have an inferiority complex due to his traumatic past. Born on the desert planet of Sigonia-IV, Aventurine is an orphan believed to be the sole survivor of the Katica-Avgin Extinction Event, which took the lives of 6,728 Avgins and over 3,000 missing. As he got older, he had to fend for himself while depending on his unbelievable luck, especially after he was purchased and imprisoned by the "Indifferent Male" who branded him with a “product code” tattooed on his neck. Aventurine was freed from slavery when the IPC apprehended him for killing his master. To avoid a trial and further imprisonment, Aventurine makes a bet with Jade, promising that he will bring wealth and success to the IPC if the organization takes him in. Just like how he survived the Extinction Event, he believes that he got the IPC position because of fate and luck. But despite becoming a respectable IPC worker, some are still wary around Aventurine because of his Sigonian features and the tattoo on his neck. The Avgins worship a Mother Goddess called the Gaiathra Triclops, otherwise known as Fenge Biyos. His Big Sis told him:"You're a child blessed by Gaiathra Triclops and can lead the clan to happiness.Your beautiful eyes a gift from Mama FengeGaiathra. Colorful eyes are said to bring good luck."

The Ten Stonehearts, officially known as Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists, are a group of high-ranking Interastral Peace Corporation executives within the Strategic Investment Department, operating under the leadership of Emanator of Preservation, Diamond. Diamond picked each member to join him on their journey and made a promise to share his power equally to them, which would help satisfy some of their needs and ultimately help Qlipoth when the war among the Aeons inevitably arrives Each member of the Ten Stonehearts possess a unique Cornerstone to them, and it is said that the Ten Stonehearts must cut their Cornerstone with their own will in order to allow its brilliance to radiate. After receiving a Cornerstone, each member is given a name corresponding to their Cornerstone, and they are generally called by this name rather than their actual name.The Ten Stonehearts regard their Cornerstones to be more precious than their own lives. Each Cornerstone gives different abilities to each Stoneheart. The aventurine stone transformed Aventurine into a stronger form, allowing him to levitate and summon giant poker chips from the sky. The jade stone allowed Jade to see all desires that flowed through dreams when it was sent into Penacony. Compared to Aventurine, the topaz stone's ability is not as "visual," though Topaz tells the Trailblazer she would have used her Cornerstone against the Astral Express Crew if Bronya had not intervened in time. Cornerstones exhume a great deal of power, even when damaged or shattered — after Aventurine was sent into the Primordial Dreamscape by Acheron, an Emanator of Nihility,the remnants of his damaged Cornerstone were able to protect him from being contaminated by the dreamscape's Nihility. Diamond is capable of repairing damaged Cornerstones.

The cornerstone of aventurine embodies a unique blend of skills and strategic capabilities, Aventurine Disambiguation:

1. Heavy Stakes:This ability allows the individual to channel a powerful force, delivering an intense, concentrated impact on a single opponent, drawing from a high degree of personal strength.
2. Points Fountain: Here, aventurine manifests as a sweeping influence that subtly affects all around, diminishing their energy while applying a mild disruptive effect to multiple targets.
3. Time For A Bet: With this skill, the individual summons an aura known as “All or Nothing,” drawing a single target into a high-stakes scenario termed the “Gamble.” Each time a target caught in the Gamble acts or engages with “All or Nothing,” they receive a random outcome. After each turn, participants in the Gamble are divided based on this outcome—some may emerge fortunate and energized, while others may face repercussions. Those outside the Gamble are subtly restrained, becoming onlookers until the Gamble concludes.
4. The Loser's Time Is Over: This ability allows aventurine to exact a decisive response on those who falter in the Gamble, applying a powerful, targeted intervention that momentarily delays their action, thereby altering the momentum of the situation.
5. Stratagems' Wagering: Individuals who manage to navigate the Gamble successfully are bolstered by the “Favored by Fortune” effect, gaining an aura of heightened strength. Conversely, those who falter acquire the “Down on Your Luck” effect, rendering them more susceptible to external pressures. This intricate interplay of fortune and strategy gives the user a distinct edge in shaping outcomes in their favor.
