ALLOY ALIGNMENTS - BASE METALS (GENDERS)
GOLD - Masculine (ara, arum)
Ara (singular), Arum (plural) - Gold represents a gender that is, to some degree, masculine in nature. Colors are based on the metal gold. Gender is picked based on this survey.
SILVER - Feminine (aren, argen)
Aren (singular), Argen (plural) - Silver represents a gender that is, to some degree, feminine in nature. Colors are based on polished silver, and colors typically associated with femininity. Gender is picked based on this survey.
COPPER - Nonbinary (copa, copen)
Copa (singular), Copen (plural) - Copper represents a gender that is, to some degree, nonbinary in nature. Colors are based on raw and polished versions of copper. Gender is picked based on the gold-silver-copper triangle, which is known for use in metallurgy for jewelry purity. (Ignore the female symbol â thatâs really the symbol for Copper.)
PLATINUM - Midgender (ilan, ilum)
Ilan (singular), Ilum (plural) - Platinum represents a gender that is, to some degree, in between male and female in nature. Examples: Ambonec, androgyne, midgender, half-binary, etc. Colors are based on the traditional color associated as âbetween girl and boy colors,â as well as faded platinum. Gender is picked based on the first symbol made for platinum, a sun and a moon, to represent that platinum was âwhite goldâ - seen as a combination of silver and gold.Â
ZINC - Neutral (zum, zincum)
Zum (singular), Zincum (plural) - Zinc represents a gender that is, to some degree, neutral in nature. Colors are based on the color normally associated with neutrality (green) as well as unpolished zinc. Gender is picked based on zincâs âneutrality,â aka how it is the least reactive of the metals.Â
TITANIUM - Genderless (tan, tanum)
Tan (singular), Tanum (plural) - Titanium represents a gender that is, to some degree, genderless in nature. Examples: Agender, genderblank, gendervoid, singularian, etc. Colors are based on the color of the metal, and the colors typically associated with genderlessness. Gender is picked based on titaniumâs dark color.
TIN - Questioning (san, santum)
San (singular), Santum (plural) - Tin represents a gender that is, to some degree, unknown or confusing or undefinable. Colors are based on the color of the metal when polished, and the color is based on the mix of all other colors â much like how a gender can be confusing, a mixture of inexplainable concepts, and can be muddled and murky. Gender is picked based on the mottled feelings an unknown gender can be.
LEAD - Xenogender (lan, planum)
Lan (singular), Planum (plural) - Lead represents a gender that is, to some degree, xenogender or xenine. Colors are based on the color of dark lead, as well as colors most often seen on xenogender flags. Gender is picked based on the unusual characteristics and resistance to making alloys.
ALUMINUM - Fluid (lumi, alumi)Â
Lumi (singular), Alumi (plural) - Aluminum represents a gender that is, to some degree, fluid in nature. Colors are based on the genderfluid flag as well as the color of aluminum. Gender is picked because of the symbol of aluminum, but also because (much like zinc and copper) it bonds with all other metals easily.Â
NICKEL - Other (niel, kinel)
Niel (singular), Kinel (plural) - Nickel represents a gender that is, to some degree, exclusive to a non-Western binary gender. These genders are not accessible to anyone except those members of that culture. Examples: Bariwarmi, femminiello, sekhet, two-spirit, etc. The colors are based on tinâs polish and also on the color for the other gender flag. The gender is picked based on the symbol for nickel, and also to give representation specifically for QPOC and marginalized/oppressed/erased genders.Â
COBALT - Atrinary (kopa, kopalt)
Kopa (singular), Kopalt (plural) - Cobalt represents a gender that is, to some degree, atrinary. Atrinary genders are genders that are outside the binary, but also outside the trinary (masc, fem, neut/agender), and are independent gender concepts defined solely by the person, not by any alignment. Examples: Some xenogenders, some neurogenders, arithmagender, musicgender, bellusgender, etc. The colors are based on the color of cobalt ore. The gender is picked based on how unique cobalt is in color in its raw form.Â
IRON - Demi- (ira or ferra, irum or ferron)
Ira/Ferra (singular), Irum/Ferron (plural) - Iron represents a gender that is, to some degree, demigender. In this definiton, the gender is only partially known, or only partially defined by choice, or one part is left ambiguous by choice. The colors are based on ironâs shades. The gender is picked based on ironâs ability to mix and become stronger with almost any metal.Â
ANTIMONY - Neurogender (mona, monta)
Mona (singular), Monta (plural) - Antimony represents a gender that is, to some degree, affected by the personâs neurodivergency in some way. The colors are based on antimonyâs raw ore. The gender is picked based on the symbol for Phi, the letter for psychology studies.
MERCURY - Intersex (idra, hidrangea)
Idra (singular), Hidrangea (plural) - Mercury represents a gender that is, to some degree, affected by the personâs intersex status in some way. This gender term is exclusive to those with some intersex disorder, and can only be defined by them. They can have any gender at all; this is only if their intersex disorder affects their gender in some way. The colors are based on mercuryâs liquid form. The gender is picked because mercury is very unlike other metals and when combined with them, will make unusual and beautiful alloys, and is unique in that it is a liquid in room temperature, much like the unique qualities and vibrant differences each intersex person experiences.Â
