Bort, boart, or boort is an umbrella term used in the diamond industry to refer to shards of non-gem -grade/quality diamonds. In the manufacturing and heavy industries, "bort" is used to describe dark, imperfectly formed or crystallized diamonds of varying levels of opacity.
it was something tokoyami knew from the day he was born
his feathers and head made of it
his body was made of a black diamond
cinnabar was what his core was made of and eyes (mercury)
the first time he ever got a scar, liquid gold and mercury would form to create golden cracks on his body
he was a living gem, so much so that he wouldn't even shatter if a wall of concrete falls on him
it was a fact of his everyday life
it was nothing he truly thought of like the others
when people looked at him they were instantly taken back by his sight
but tokoyami never liked the attention
but his appearance was not the only thing this gift adapted
whilst fighting a villain with his classmates, he had said unspeakable things that caused tokoyami to show no mercy
momo was trapped under the rubble of the villain's quirk as many of his classmates were
but the villain had threatened to do unspeakable things to her, as he moved to do such actions
even with metal being stuck into his body thanks to another part of the villain's quirk, tokoyami was still conscious to hear these heinous acts
and that was the last straw
he let out a cry of rage as he created crystals around him, the dark crystals with golden lines killed anything in his path, gaining the attention and shock of the villain
"How dare you suggest such vulgar actions, you filthy tyrant!" he screamed
"and now you will pay for your crimes" he stated as a flurry of crystals flew towards the villain, the gems soon starting to appear from the villain's body, killing him off instantly
as the villain took his final breath the rubble started to break apart, freeing its captives
"Are you ok?" tokoyami asked momo, who was now free and holding herself tight
"I'm ok, thank you," momo said as she held tokoyami close, tears in her eyes
but a giant amount of concrete began to crumble, creating a landslide heading towards them
"lookout" tokoyami shouted, shoving momo to the side whilst taking the impact
"tokoyami!" they screamed as they watched him be washed away
they ran straight after him to try to save them
but when they found him they saw something that would haunt them for the rest of their lives
a beheaded tokoyami with metal rods in his body along with a missing arm
the class cried for their fallen friend
they were going to give him a proper funeral
at least before momo had an idea
tokoyami's body needed to be put back together before giving him a funeral, as well as take out all the metal that had been coursed through his body
after taking out the metal they searched high and low for the head
they finally found it in a hole of the rubble
but even though they didn't want to look, the parts where the body had separated looked so jagged, just like the crystals he had used to save them
once they gathered the parts, they began putting himself together
but once all pieces were reattached a miraculous thing began to take place
the gold liquid seemed to appear, covering where the breaks and injuries that were there before
and once the gold had settled tokoyami's eyes began to slowly open
"hmm, morning" he let out with a little yawn
his classmates only took a moment to simply stare at tokoyami before all charging towards him with tears of happiness
"did I miss something?" he asked with full confusion, it seemed that in all that time he was "dead", he was simply asleep
