Trinitite

Trinitite is one of the active Gems residing on the Radioactive Island. They are the oldest Gem on the island.

Appearance
Trinitite has the standard Radioactive Gem uniform with no variations. Their features are forest green with patches of dirt/sand coloured inclusions. Their hair is in a bowl cut.

Personality
Trinitite is known for being tired constantly, in all aspects. They've been alive for a long time and know the effects of things. They are the most cautious and concerned about organic life and have the most empathy of the Gems. They're very reluctant with doing anything.

Trinitite is very forgetful though, and often feels useless because of it. Their memory is terrible, possibly caused by their inclusions.

Character Profiles

 * Old and tired. Don't ask them to do anything.

Gem Info
Trinitite is an anthropogenic substance that is a product of atomic bomb testing. Trinitite is a variation of glass resulted from sand in intense heat that usually associated with similar substances like fulgurite and impact glass. The heat from the source must be intense enough to melt the sand which cools off again into a glass. However, unlike fulgurite, trinitite is entirely man made although not intentionally. Trinitite is named after the Trinity Test Site (near Alamogordo, New Mexico, USA) where atomic bomb testing took place in 1945 for the Second World War. This was part of the Manhattan Project that ultimately lead to the discovery of atomic bombs and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As the area around Alamogordo is desert, the heat from the explosion of the atomic test resulted in the sand melting and reforming. It also resulted in one of the first substance in the environment to contain plutonium.
 * Mineral: Non Mineral (glass)
 * Chemistry: Glass (irradiated by plutonium)
 * Colour: Dirt brown to glassy green

Most trinitite on the market today are fakes, as a limited number of pieces were taken from the site before the Trinity Site was bulldozed and the area set off limits. Trinitite variations that originate from places other than Alamogordo include kharitonchik, a Soviet variation from Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan. Trinitite is a generalized name now, with another variation coming from a French testing site in Algeria.

Trivia

 * Trinitite uses mainly gender neutral identifications ("they/them").
