Laurite is a gentle, older gem, that loves taking care of others- since he can't do really much other.
Born in the Original Island and childhood friend of Sillimanite, Laurite was seen as "useless" by the gem society because of his ridicule brittleness, compared to his decend hardness of 7 and half.
Worsening his situation, Laurite's body produces three metals: Rhutenium, Osmium and Iridium, extremely hard metals but very heavy that always break him every time he tries to use it. Combined to his paceful, slow nature, he was the worst fighter, and unable to do manual job- thus, useless.
He joined Sillimanite in his "escape/rebellion" from the old Island because of that.
At the new island, he helps younger gems finding a place and a job, a passion or a hobby, and helps all the gems (and sometimes Admirabilis!) that need comfort, or to feel accepted.
Laurite is a bit of a "mom" for every gem at the Island!
Painite is not the most funny or charismatic of the Village, and he's a rather lazy, shallow and sly gem. He is the leader of the Frost Squad (similiar to the Winter Duties, but all year since there is no summer in the Mountain Island) but he does nothing other than lazying around Wulfenite's office. He uses his high hardness and high resistance to be a bully around. What a twat.
He is born a year after Wulfe at the Original Island, but both of them along Chalcanthite decided to escape Adamant, for unknown reasons. He is very attached to Wulfe, mostly because they are both horrible enough to bear each other.
Painite has a not-so-good relationship with his younger brother Jeremejevite.
LAURITE:
Laurite was one of Sillimanite’s friends, back at the Original Island. He is extremely brittle, and his incredible weight and the OsIrRu coming out of his body always breaks him. (He would be Cinnabar older brother, but they don’t know the existence of each other.)
Laurite can’t fight since he always breaks, he is the slowest and is really quiet and pacific, so he just decided to leave with Sillimanite. He doesnt feel useless anymore, since Lau decided to help other gems with their emotional traumas or simpler problems. Hercynite often seeks his help, and the baby Tubulite always follows him around. He loves to help other! And his hugs are the best.
PEZZOTTAITE:
Pezzottaite is a crazy historian. He discovered humans from Admirabilis' tales and went crazy over it: now he always tries to dress in "half 1900 human style" (simply some 1960/1970) way, but in the past he passed the Roman phase, the Rococo phase and even the "fake caveman of the movies" one. What will be his next style?
He is very good at find human remains and put together all the links to discover the ancient story of the earth that Adamant didnt told them. Sometimes, with Orientite the boatmaker, in winter he sneaks on the Original island to snitch some of their books...
He is born on the Mountain Island, but during one of his "secret missions" has seen Adamant sleeping. It didnt seem to him so bad as others told him.
HERCYNITE:
The secretary. He's young, though and strong, but can't fight properly because of his anxious nature and breaks on his own, just by the thought in his mind.
He is born on the Mountain Island. He used to be Sillimanite's assistant, but now he's a big boy old enough to be official Silli's secretary and helper, and manages all the storing of the goods, the mineral replacements, manages the work and.. he's VERY stressed, but loves to do it.
Often needs some help from Laurite. He loves to hear leader Sillimanite tell him he's been "good", but sometimes when the compliments are too much he breaks from the embarassment.
I was thinking of making some HNK ocs but i preferred making a totally new gem school and MANY OCs... here the first ones! (explanations under the Read More)
Chalcanthite, Painite and Wulfenite have no partner.
Chal is the older brother of Wulfenite, even if the two of them don’t get along so well: Chal is a total chaotic force, difficult to even talk with, other than being poisonous and acid. He can melt and re-build himself as he pleases, and he melts and re-forms in water easily. In winter he hibernates in a tub, much like Antarcticite, where he sleeps in the form of a blue gemmy crust for unknown reasons. He is REALLY strange.
Painite is the one who does the winter duty. He’s born in winter when nobody was here to take care of him and that made him very unpleasant to talk with. He’s snarky and his jokes are not funny. Not the best company. He’s also VERY lazy and does just what he has to. He seems selfish, but he’s just very, very lazy...
Wulfenite is not less crazy as his brother Chal, but in a good way. He likes to call himself “genius” for his inventions, that most of the time are totally useless. He’s very fragile and breaks so easily that his brittleness is now a joke in the school. He’s more pleasant than his brother but is a very lone wolf, almost always selcluded in his lab doing strange experiments. When he’s angry, he produces molybdenum that flows out of his body.
If marriage existed in this world, they would be married. They are never too far from each other and are a very very cute couple, even if Silli is very shy about it.
Taaffeite is one of the oldest, remembering when the New School was built. He took it well, like he takes well everything. Taaffi is blind and deaf, because during his formation another mineral was created into him, but didn’t form as a sentient gem: just like a parasite, the other gem didnt form, but is part of him. That mineral is in his “horns” and heels, and helps him to feel the vibrations other than seeing and hearing. He doens’t need those senses to be the best fighter of them all! His problem is that Taaffi is too carefree and takes nothing seriously...
Sillimanite is the opposite: serious, hard-working and always ready to fight. He is as old as Taaffi, but has not his “superpowers”. In the years he lost half of his face and a leg, now in almandine quartz. He used to have very long hair but used almost all of them for his frequent breaking and injuries. Silli can seem frightening but has a really soft heart.
You already know Bone, right? It seems like he found a place to live!
Laurite is very old, as old as Taaffi and Silli, and one of the four that founded the New School over the Mountains. He is the Mom Friend, very calm and protective. He is the heaviest of them, so heavy that can’t run properly, but that makes him thicker than the other gems and much stronger. When he rarely breaks he can spill some very heavy liquid metal, but it’s completely harmless and helps him re-attach his parts. He’s a war machine, but prefers to help others and peace over war.
Hercynite is the secretary: he likes math and to organize things. He doesn’t really like to fight but when he fights nothing can stop him: Hercy is a though, abrasive gem and can fight as well as the sage Laurite. Hercynite is the second youngest gem in the New School but his seriousness can make forget that he’s still a baby. Please treat him well he’s very young
Both of them have no family and no-one similiar to them, and this made them very very attached one to another.
Moissanite is the second youngest gem, but he’s a born fighter: the second hardest mineral existing, just 0.5 points below diamonds. He HATES diamonds because they feel better than him. Mois, a proud thing, doesn’t accept the fact he’s less than someone. He’s a hothead and a stubborn kid, but his partner can always make him calm down.
Putnisite is the real reason for the New School to be founded. He’s the rarest, strangest mineral existing, and he has not even a mineral similar to him: that makes impossible for him to found some pieces in case of replacement. Putni, being even the lowest in hardness of them all, easily loses pieces. When he lost his feet, the only option was to make him a wood one. Putni and the other rare 3 gems transferred in another school, built in a mountain and safer than the original one, where Putni can’t leave but is safe.
Putni is very clever and has written a lot of books about nature and history, always trying to know more from Sensei. He can’t leave the school, but has given the young and troubled Mois the task of wander the Land and give him informations about the nature, the life and the morphology of the territory. That made Moiss much calmer, attentive and reflective than before.
more OC’s gems coming soon!
