Gemstone: trinitite
Gemstone Location: Chest
Corrupted:No
Appearance:
Personality: Trinitite is easygoing and a little careless, this is partially caused by him pushing anything he doesn't want to think about to the back of his mind. He usually doesn't take things seriously, and can be found acting childish in some of the least appropriate times. Although he stays laid-back most of the time, he can become serious when dealing with someone he really doesn't like, or when he's on the losing side of any fight. He is actually capable of following strategy, but rarely comes up with it himself, and because of this he usually rushes into things head first without preparation. Trinitite is usually willing to help people, and will always take up random jobs to take his mind off things. He is friendly and accepting, but doesn't take kindly to those who betray him after having been helped. He can be easily excited by two things, food and explosions, you can almost always count on him to drop everything he was doing when either of those come into play.
It's important to note that he knows his boundaries, but usually ends up biting off more than he can chew. For example, he knows he isn't made for 1 vs 1 combat, yet he would never turn down a challenge.

Weapon: Trinitite can summon three different bombs
Small:
-These have a diameter of 15 cm/6 inches and cause a blast which does minor damage.
-The blast has a diameter of 30 cm/12 inches
-These bombs take 1 second to summon (so he can summon a bunch in 1 post)
-Can summon 2 at once, and can only summon more once those have exploded
Medium:
-These bombs have a diameter of 28 cm/11 inches and cause a powerful blast
-The blast has a diameter 2.5 meters/8 feet
-These bombs take 5 seconds to summon, and when summoned, there is a cooldown period where no bombs can be summoned for 10 seconds (So he can summon and throw in one post, but then has to wait 1 post before being able to throw bombs again)
-Can only summon one at a time, and can't summon another until that one has exploded
Large:
-This bomb has a diameter of 40 cm/16 inches and causes a huge blast that deals major damage
-The blast has a diameter of 8 meters/26 feet
-This bomb takes 1 minute to summon, and has a cooldown of 15 minutes (The bomb takes about 5-6 posts to summon, depending on the length of the posts, but then it will be a ridiculous 75 posts before he can summon bombs again)
-This bomb can only be thrown 4 metres ahead, so it will also minorly damage trinitite unless dropped from above or some other tactical method
-Best used as a last resort attack
-Can only summon 1 at a time, and can't summon more until it has exploded
Ability 1: Radiation Burst
-Trinitite can send a burst of energy out all around him with a range of 12 feet. The blast can knock back gems who are in the air or lighter gems who are on the ground. It only leaves gems with minor damage, but temporarily disrupts any machinery, and energy based attacks for 3 posts. After being used, the blast has a cool down of 9 posts.
Ability 2: Radioactive Stingers
-Trinitite has 3 radioactive crystals on his body (One on his shoulder, one on his arm, and one on the back of his leg), He can stretch and bend these crystals out to try and stab someone, or he can use them like swords. If they hit their target, they cause a strong stinging pain and randomly change a gem's colour for about 4 posts. They can stretch out up to 10 feet, and work basically like shape-shifting except with radioactive crystals. They also make Trinitite slower if they are extended out past 4-5 feet, and any gem that has the natural ability to change colour can reverse colour change immediately. These become Trinitite's main defence mechanism after having thrown a bomb and waiting to summon another one. They can be used at the same time as his weapon, but will be less coordinated and not necessarily effective, as they could get in the way or be hit by the explosion of one of his bombs.
Fusions: None yet
History: Trinitite was deployed with a military division to Earth. He was an emergency back up gem in case the three jaspers he was with couldn't handle their job on their own. Of course it felt like an honour when Yellow diamond herself gave him this job, but once he got to the place, he had enough free time to understand what it was really all about. Emergency back up gem was just an excuse to get rid of him without having to wait for him to break a rule.
He came from a kindergarten that ended up being a huge failure, it was built on a planet that turned out to be filled with hazardous substances, and although the planet was harmless to matured gems, it proved to be harmful to the gems that were grown there. He was the only gem to emerge from that kindergarten, and wasn't even of any variant they had planned to create there, making him a failure. Even though he was defective by gem standards, he was kept alive for being a unique specimen. However, being defective meant that he was constantly looked down upon, and as soon as the opportunity to get rid of him arose, he found himself heading off to Earth.
It didn't take him long to realise that there weren't any real threats on Earth, and once he did, he came to grip with the fact that he was never really going to see any action. As the days went by, he got really bored and started leaving the area he was supposed to stay in. He trailed off into the forest and explored anything he could, eventually getting into the habit of abandoning his communication device, and going far out of position to explore further ground. Then one day, he lost track of time and went much further than he ever had before, only realising how late it was once it got really dark out. When he found his way back, nobody was there, and worse yet, the Homeworld warp was destroyed. Trinitite was stranded and confused, he had no clue how or why this happened, and wasn't even sure how he felt about it. Trinitite headed out in search of other gem warps, but of the few that he found, all were destroyed, leaving Trinitite wandering Earth searching for nothing.
