Strontium

Strontium is a Metal from Homeworld. More brawn than brain, he's a kind hearted soul who means well, despite not understanding everything. As stated, he's pretty strong and can also produce and manipulate a red flame.

However if he loses control of himself he can become radioactive.

Biology
Strontium is just a bit taller than Rose Quartz. He wears a sleeveless shirt and loose fitting pants. He has light blonde/golden hair tied into a small ponytail at the back. He has circular tattoos on his shoulders and arms.

Biography
Strontium was partially a labourer, aiding with constructing different things as he could take instructions. He did best with being a guard or escort to other Metals, as he looked strong enough to take the other down. He was a sweetheart however and most likely wouldn't try to harm someone under normal circumstances. He loved performing pyrotechnic shows with his red flames, able to create spectacular firework shows that many enjoyed. He could get along with most Metals, although some took advantage of his naivety.

He perished during the Takeover.

Behind the Metal
Strontium is an element, specifically an alkaline earth metal. It is rather non toxic in normal circumstances, and like most of the others in its group it could replace calcium in bones (some excavations have revealed that early beings could have possibly had strontium instead of calcium) although this replacement is probably the least harmful. However, most recognize this element for its isotope strontium-90, the product of a nuclear disaster and fallout, which is radioactive. However most other isotopes are harmless.

One of strontium's unique properties is that it can produce a vibrant red flame. Emergency flares and red fireworks are composed of this element. Its main ore comes in the form of the gem celestite.
