Beryllium

Beryllium is a Metal from Homeworld. Originally the designer for air and spacecrafts, he was very fond of conspiracies and finding out the truth.

Biology
A smaller Metal with fairly greyscale colour scheme and overall a pretty familiar human like body. His eyes however are heterochromia iridum, as his right eye is a brilliant green and his left is bright blue. This is reflecting the gemstones that replace his fingers, which are floating off of his palms. On one hand emeralds can be found while the other contains aquamarine.

He wears a light grey toque, slightly curly hair coming out underneath. He wears a one piece skin tight suit, with a light grey belt, shoulder armour, boots, and lower arm plates. His fingers float off of the palms of his hands.

He identifies as male.

Biography
Beryllium was the designer for aircrafts and spacecrafts to aid Metals society. He was quite brilliant and could come up with designs that could accommodate all sizes of Metals, as well as protect them. However, he was a very large well known conspiracy theorist, along with his friend Nickel. Beryllium had access to higher information because of his job and could often find the proof to back up their theories. Both were highly eccentric although Beryllium was the calmer one.

During the Takeover however, both him and Nickel disappeared and it is unknown if either survived the Takeover. The only thing known was that they correctly predicted the Gems attacking.

Behind the Metal
Beryllium's character is based off of many conspiracy theorists, most often taking inspiration from the X-Files. Beryllium was chosen for this role in the duo as the metal is used in air and spacecrafts.

Beryllium is a pure element on the periodic table, being an alkaline earth metal. It is possibly the most stable lightest metal (as lithium is quite reactive) and also has one of the highest melting points of the lighter metals. For this purpose its used in space and aircrafts. The most common form that people associate beryllium with are beryls, from which it got its name from. Beryls are a group of gemstones that include emerald, aquamarine, and morganite. Beryllium however, is highly toxic and considered a carcinogen. And also like lead, it is sweet tasting. Beryllium is most damaging to the lungs as breathing it in can cause many issues with the lungs, but it can also have other side effects on the body.
