#gem: kinradite

[ranans-art]

.MOLDAVITE | SiO2(+Al2O3)

Absent, that is how Moldavite seems to many. Disconnected from the world around it, they only focus on their bugs, particularly caterpillars. Else, he doesn't care much for those around him.

Molda had a huge crush on Chernobylite, always collecting pretty looking bugs around them despite Cherno's... fatal effects on organic lifeforms at that point. Else it was rather isolated, solely writing down all insects he could find.

It was with Kinradite, who fancied them, on the day of their abduction. All of them was taken to the moon, along with Kinradite's arm, marking them one out of two gems to not perish from radiation.

Chernobylite belongs to @lilliad

Kinradite belongs to @crabclogs

Headcanon: Living in Isolation

After his clan's demise in their last battle, Kinradite spent over 3,000 years  jumping through time and space.

To do this, he used an antiquated technique of fusing with gem shards and taking on a less sophisticated form to contain them while using their full power. This allowed him to do much more strenuous feats like puncturing worm holes and space travel, all while just using his own body. While this normally can be controlled with great discipline, he was mildly damaged in the last battle. As an effect, he has trouble with his short term memory- so he lost a good portion of that 3,000 years. He was lost, and due to his arrested development after the demise of his clan, he was severely isolated.

The Agitator

This routine of jumping continued until he was captured by one of the the Diamond authority’s scientists, who was stationed on Earth well after the corruption song. This Howlite was another repurposed gem, an early rendition of Howlites that were used to infiltrate gems and corrupt the programming of specific targets. As the Diamond Authority grew in influence, the need for targeted assaults lessened. The early rendition Howlites were purged, save for one. Being able to master technologies and having an extensive knowledge of gem physiology, he was stationed on Earth to continue to research the presumably corrupted planet.

By chance he would catch Kinradite, who would also by chance find out about the Authority’s last sponsored lab on Earth. After destroying the lab, the two fought back and forth for awhile until Howlite stole his clan’s gem shards. After holding them for several millennia, the possibility of finally losing his clan for good forced Kinradite to face Howlite one last time. 

Howlite was perfectly capable of dispatching the Primitive Jasper, who knew nothing of current gem technology. However, Kinradite’s bravery and willingness to fight on the behalf of his clan appealed to the Howlite, who’s infamy made even the highest officials afraid of him.

The Last of their Lines

They soon formed a bond, one of the first Kinradite was able to forge after years of isolation. Also living as the last gem on a planet of corrupted beasts for hundreds of years, Howlite had a lot in common with the brute. Kinradite also credited the lunatic with actually pushing him to reforge his clan, which marked a pivotal moment where Kinradite moves on from the past. 

Finally being able to have conversations that didn’t involve breaking Howlite’s face, Kinradite learned of the interest Homeworld still had on Earth. The two now work together to protect Earth, since it now is absolutely the last place they all can exist. Howlite expects that Homeworld might get rid of him as a liability- both because of his abilities, his less savory knowledge of the Authority and it’s weaknesses.

While Kinradite has more intimate views of Earth and the beings on it, Howlite is beginning to learn how to care for others- the primitive brute included. Despite Howlite’s fatalist attitude, Kinradite resolved to protect him despite the risks involved. Howlite went renegade, leaving his lab behind to live with Kinradite and his charges, up until his disappearance.

Headcanon: The Master Storytelller

To understand Kinradite, it would be helpful to recall some key literary archetypes: one of those being the albatross. 

The sole survivor of his clan, Kinradite is the only key to what happened to the Primitive Jaspers. He is the keeper of tombs of ‘forbidden knowledge’ withheld by the Diamond Authority; stories long lost to modern era 2 gems, even to era 1 gems. He, similar to the Crystal gems, is also is one of few that can recall many countless gems that were lost after the Authority deployed their corruption weapon on Earth. Except, he never had the luxury of protection shared by members of Rose’s inner sanctum- and he’s never been to forgiving of the Crystal Gems ever since.

A Simple Farmer Gem

Kinradite was eulogized from the pieces of his predecessor by his clan’s matriarch, Owyhee. 

As the way with Primitive Jaspers, they collect the shards of their comrades, plant them in the ground, and perform a ritual that restores the gem- a eulogy. As an effect the gem emerges with a rudimentary form, a gemling, and refines their shape according to their surroundings. Primitive Jaspers then raise the gemling and tell them about their Predecessor. 

Kinradite was Successor to the clan’s former matriarch, another Primitive Jasper with the ability to forge gems. He would take up her mantle as a Forging gem, collecting and sharing the stories of many gems. As an effect, Kinradite made a name for himself as a storyteller, whos stories and cultivation forged many strong, stable gems. However, Kinradite was forged at the beginning of the first era- when the Diamond Authority was increasing it’s influence over Homeworld. The Primitive Japsers and their way of life were deemed obsolete, since the Diamonds began mass producing gems for their purposes. All gems were enslaved and many were destroyed. It was only when Kinradite and his clan were repurposed that they survived into the first era.

The Dancing Warrior

Known for their forging ability, Primitive Japsers had been known in Old Homeworld for their terrific warriors. They could manipulate the ground, even the spatial plane itself, creating horrible displays of power. Most of these warriors, however, were lost in the turmoil before the Diamond Authority. By the time the Authority came, the majority of remaining Primitive Jaspers only had forgery as a skill- a skill that was quickly replaced by replicators. Gem replicators lead to Homeworld devouring other planets, but the Primitive Jaspers only survived by relying on their older skills. Kinradite was repurposed as a mercenary, having no real abilities for fighting. It wasn’t until the remaining Primitive Jaspers put their last bid on the Earth rebellion that Kinradite had any reason for his fighting skills to be refined.

Along with the rest of his clan, Kinradite was trained by the Lady Jaguar of Earth, one of the renegade Rose Quartz’s generals. The battalion of Primitive Jaspers lived up to their oldworld reputation, but it came at a high cost. Kinradite had no fighting ability so he was pushed to the very limit of his gem. In addition to pushing his athletic limits, he was taught to reform quickly, relying on the durability of his gem to keep fighting despite his lack of ability. This involved breaking and reforming his physical form repetitively; his training was much more brutal than any battle he fought in the rebellion. However, as an effect, he was the sole survivor of the last battle- reforming and fleeing before his gem could be destroyed.

 The Damaged

While he would survive the last battle, he was wounded. Further, techniques he was taught to push the durability limits of his gem used repetitively over several millennia had a tole on him. Gem shards hold a lot of power, used by many primitive gems to travel over time and space. However, so much power used directly slowly corrupted his gem. He lost gaps of time, being scrambled with so many fragments of other’s minds. While he had control over his less sophisticated form, his memory was getting bad. Subsequently, this did not effect his ability to retain the memory of his charges, gemlings that he’s formed. As with most caregivers, unfortunately, it meant that he loses gaps of his personal memory. As an effect, he remains as a flawed observer- only able to tell the stories of others but not himself.

[For each muse] Is shattering the Diamonds justified?

[*rubs hands together!* Assume Rebellion verse-]

Kinradite: “... They are dangerous. If you are talking about Pink diamond in particular, I do understand why it had to be done. It was the only way to free Earth and sometimes it is difficult to reason with someone who thinks of you only as a tool. It had to be done.”

“- I will say, though, that diamonds themselves are very predatory in nature. There used to be so much more of them. This is a better question to ask a diamond that you are intimate with. “

Jaguar: “Strategically, yes. The current system is dependent upon the diamonds to run. If you want to upend the authority you have to destroy them. Course, they have made it such that the race is dependent upon their survival. Each variation of gem they design is much weaker than the last. I predict that they will weaken the race completely. As a feasible solution to the survival of our race, you won’t be able to have this conversation soon...”

Oregonite: “Yea, but, who would pay to have a diamond shattered? It’s purely political. That is unless it’s another diamond. I suspect the gem who does the job won’t exist to reap the benefits of their ‘obedience’.”

Poppy: “They have destroyed everything and have dominated our race. Shattering them is justified. They are not exempt from what they done. You cannot enslave an entire race of thinking, feeling, and powerful individuals and think you will not be punished.”

Owyhee: “I have seen the rise and fall of many leaders. I have had to eulogize a few of them. The Authority isn’t the first to do what they have done. They are just the first to organize such power. I don’t think it is justified but I do think it will happen.” 

[danceofthechimera]

Headcanon: The Eccentric Observer

Oregonite has always just been. Little is known about them, only because their story telling style is very hard to follow. In an oral tradition such as Kinradite’s and his relatives, the Primitive Jaspers, this usually leads to a whole new story; a new mythos. Oregonite is known, affectionately, as the Eccentric.

The Lost Child

He was found at the razing of another commune: a large, opened compound with a diverse mixture of primitive gems long unseen since before Era1. The compond had held a number of high class gems, many permanently enraptured by the grand displays of power the Primitive Jaspers were capable of. The commune was destroyed when the Primitive Jaspers, their Dancing Warriors, failed to defend their comrades during early uprisings. Many gems were crushed, many betrayed by the very ones whom they entertained and filled their lives with such color.

Oregonite was one of the gemlings in the care of the Primitive Jasper, they was also a permanent member of the clan. They was made of the same stuff as the Dancing Warriors and the Farmers, he just didn’t have the same abilities as other Primitive Jaspers. They couldn’t make familiars or grand displays, nor could they farm more gems. His only ability was summoning a war club and a shield.

The gemling was found some unmeasurable time later by Kinradite’s predecessor and Owyhee, remaining loyal to them ever since. He would be the only one never eulogized by Owyhee. He would also be one of the first to leave the commune. They became a mercenary using his connections amongst many of the Upper Echelon, the high class gems at the time, many whom were the former treacherous residents of the Dancing Warriors’ compound. They made a name for themselves, frequently coming back to their clan to share their adventures.

The Deliverer of the Primitive Jaspers and their Betrayal

More importantly, Oregonite gained valuable insight. Maintaining a place in the Upper Echelon and working with the (then) fledgling Diamond Authority, they caught wind of the terrible totalitarian force that was to come. Ergo, they slowly began building coalitions of primitive gem mercenaries, regaining a lot of their past influence. He specifically began to train his own commune under his care to save them from obscurity and vulnerability to the Diamond Authority’s inevitable purges.

Oregonite would be “The Lunatic that Delivered his Clan”. When the opportunity to return to their old way of life presented itself, Oregonite met Lady Jaguar on Earth. Just as the fallen commune before, many of the remaining Primitive Jasper mercenaries found success with the new Diamond regime and turned on Oregonite. They had no interest in returning to farming gems; they would be the ones to destroy Oregonite and his commune during the rebellion on the behalf of the Diamond Authority. Kinradite survived the battle and took many of the fragments with him to be eulogized, Oregonite’s included.

It’s said Oregonite’s story telling style reflects the grandeur of their original commune, the Compound of the Dancing Warriors. Lacking the ability, they made up for it in creativity, concocting grand stories; echos of the displays that no one will ever see again.

Feelings from the Nape

@white-diamond-ota

The Earth had always been a curious place on it’s own. It only got much more curious when things from space found it’s way to this backwater star system. 

Granted, Kinradite had been there for awhile. He and the rest of his clan, really. He was even acting as elder. Although, this day he was riding solo. The fearsome and nearlly hellish deer creature had just landed from a jump. It was brimming with energy, as wisps of it could be seen lighting off it’s muscular back. He was trotting on, though apparently looking for something.

So ingrained in what he was doing, he hadn’t even noticed that there was another gem there. Too many sensations going on at once. 

[danceofthechimera]

“Fuse with me!”

Lol the meme didn’t ask for art, but here is some art-

Everyone’s favorite priestess with everyones favorite farm dweeb:

what type of gem they’d make

Baddie seems to be a pretty pure (pretty rare) mineral in general. Kinradite is a jasper, very common, very earth based. One is used for psychic abilities (baddie). The other is sued for protection in journeys (kinradite). Ergo, this fusion needs to be an astral projection, travel, and projection stone. Moldavite, a dark green, is apparently very energetic stone. It’s fitting, for reasons I’ll get to below. B)

personality and stability of fusion

Its going to be an odd fusion, since Baddie seems to be the conservative sort. Mash this with a rock like Kin (impulsive, liberal, energetic) and you’ll get a particularly conflicted gem. However, Kin is both adaptable and is subdued pretty quickly in fusions. Ergo, he’s a pretty agreeable and he’s pretty fun sharing a body with according to some of his past fusions. He gives a lot of room to explore potential, especially if this fusion is just for fun (assuming this one is). What you’ll get is probably a less inhibited, very free spirited fusion that will last as long as Baddie wishes to shuck off her responsibilities. 

height of the fusion (in comparison to other characters)

Not knowing the height of Baddie, I figure both she and Kin are medium sized gems (around human sized for the most part like Pearl). There are no rules to fusion, just whatever seems cool. But just for reference, Pearl + Ame (a shorty) gets you a 8-9 foot fusion like Opal. Since this is going to be a pretty conservative fusion, however, I’m  saying 10 feet tops.

Closed RP: The White Nomad

@perfxct-matrixrch

Kinradite never liked water. This might have been why.

Before it was tamed by the Authority's designer gems, it ran rampant through the wilds of Homeworld. The only place it was contained was on the cold white steppes on the far end of the massive world where it was locked into sheets of ice that shaped the land.

While Kinradite had some stories about how gems would slowly reclaim their world from the cold, she couldn't possibly tell them while unconcious.

Between point A and point B, the matriarch had been separated from her clan. After a series of very unfortunate events, she had ended up in the grips of a very large creature- a gem, but quiet obviously unsophisticated. It was some bulbous monster that had rescued her from the depths and now it was taking her somewhere.

[danceofthechimera]

(Mini)Headcanon: All Primitive Jaspers are voiced by PD

Despite Primitive Jaspers looking very different from each other, they all sound the same- following the same rule as modern gems.

What does differ between them are their accents when speaking English, which are influenced by the humans they had contact with on Earth. Here are the accent modifications as follows:

Kinradite: French, specifically from the area around Mali, very rich and influenced by Bambara language

Poppy: French, specifically influenced by Khmer, soft and tonal.

Owyhee: Techincally would have never spoken English, but she knew native Hawaiian. For voice acting purposes, she has an American west coast speaking style: easy going, unhurried. This also applies to her successor.

Oregonite: Technically also would have never spoken English or any other European language, but they knew indeginous languages from the Lenape people, or the Delaware Natives. For voice acting purposes, they would have a Dutch accent. Same applies for their successor.

Jaguar: Similar situation, never would have spoken any European languages. She did know some pre-classic Mesoamerican languages at the time, since she exclusively worked with the Omlec people. For voice acting purposes, she gets a Spanish accent, specifically Mexican. While this would apply to her successor, she doesn't speak. She uses international sign language.

[danceofthechimera]

Headcanon: The Guardian of Death

Jaguar is a Primitive Jasper, a warrior type, who's long line of succession preceeds her.

As an effect of being eulogized so many times, the resulting gem has some 'imperfections', especially by modern standards. Multiple forgeries has produced a dense gem with a lot of power, however, the most current iteration has lost the ability to speak. This may be because some of her shards were left behind.

Despite this, she has access to all of her predecessor's abilities: geokenisis (manipulation of Earth), and golem creation. As she was reforged recently by their current clan leader, Kinradite, she is still grasping these powers. The potential is still there, despite her inability to communicate by traditional means.

This doesn't stop her. With her gem placement in her forehead, she is a cerebral gem with little trouble expressing herself.

The Seer

Jaguar's most recent predecessor had also been forged by the old clan leader before Owyhee. She personally saw the 'ages of turmoil' before era 1, long before the Diamond Authority. To defend her clan, she had also trained in all of the primitive gem shamanistic technologies and magics. She also witnessed one of the last mega fusions demise in the fighting. It was her own clan's protector, Creek, who was separated once they failed to protect Kinradite. Despite the clan's loss, Jaguar foresaw the rising authority and left the clan to find a way to fight back. Her travels eventually lead to Earth, where she used the organic strongholds to experiment and forge new defenses. It was also the planet of Pink Diamond, a new comer to the Authority who had little hold, the planet harboring revolutionaries there.

Guardian of Otherworlds

She ended up in the Yucatan Peninsula, where the first human beings wanted to protect their home from the intergalactic threat. Jaguar worked with them, teaching them about primitive gem tech and even giving them passage to see the untamed pieces of Homeworld. This was the time she learned to lead, cultivating human shamans to defend their villages. Jaguar gained recgonition as "Guardian of the Underworld", especially for her underground citadel that housed her strong hold and how the humans described the anals of Homeworld when they arrived. It prepared her to train her own clan for the rebellion.

General Lady Jaguar

Jaguar's precessor was one of the guiding forces that safe guarded the clan through the rebellion on Earth.

She would train them, though her new batallion was mostly composed of 'farmers' and 'ecentrics'. Jaguar even negotiated a deal with Rose Quartz, the leader of the resistance, to include the Primitive Jaspers in their ranks despite their status as mercinaries. Mercinaries have no loyalty to any one but themselves, but Rose had an interest in the Primitive Jasper's motives. They were in this fight to live free and forge gems, sustainably, in a place they were allowed to develop. Not many trusted this, since many Primitive Jaspers were still working for the Diamonds. As an effect, the small battalion was often left to their own devices.

Well aware if the implications, Jaguar trained what were essentially repurposed farmers into proper guerilla soliders, using old style techniques and limit breaking: breaking the physical forms of gems over and over until they have a firm grasp on their physical forms. These gems could be poofed and reform moments later.

It was hard, violent, and mind breaking- the training was often much harder than the battles. This lead to their success on the battlefield, but the group never gained any influence among the ranks. Eventually, the battilion was decimated and, to add insult to injury, it was their former fellows who had destroyed them, working on behalf of the Diamonds. Jaguar would fight to protect her battilion until she took a violent shot to the head, right where her gem was placed.

Time Marches Onward and Waits for None

Her shards were saved by Kinradite, the sole survivor, as well as the shards from her other companions. However, Kinradite was wounded and the only reason he maintained control was because of how often their clan manipulated their physical forms.

Jaguar had also taught them a technique to use less sophisticated physical forms for things like intergalactic travel. It just took the energy of gem shards, which Kinradite used to flee the battle. This lead to prolonged jumps and him losing spans of time as the shards interfered with his ability to maintain control.

He would eventually come out of it and eulogize Jaguar, but it wouldn't be until several millinenia after the fact- in the modern day.

Jaguar's successor was taught about her and what she did, even though Kinradite personally suffered behind it. Unlike her predcessor who heard of all of the heroic feats, this iteration seems more at ease and thoughtful. While she also inherited the Citadel of the Underworld, Jaguar seemed to have gained some awareness of the nature of sacrifice. The time may come again for her to take her place to protect Earth, but she won't be on her own this time.

[danceofthechimera]

Headcanon: The Matriarch

Owyhee’s predecessor was the former Matriarch of the clan. With a power to forge gems, she nurtured many gemlings and cultivated them into functional members of the gem race. 

As most good leaders, the role of leader was something she was forced into; therefore, she only operated in a way that was best for her clan. Up until her demise in their final battle, Owyhee was instrumental in ensuring her clan survived the rise of the Diamond Authority and the rebellion on Earth. 

While it became clear that the Crystal Gems did not have their best interest in mind, Owyhee still endorsed the rebellion and fought to be free on Earth. Specifically, to continue forging gems in the old way- a way that Rose Quartz had grown an interest in. 

Half of a Union

Owyhee was formally part of a permafusion with another Primitive Jasper named Poppy. Together, they made a fusion called Creek, who served as the protector of the clan. Creek was very powerful, being made of a forging gem and a warrior capable of manipulating plane-space. They successfully defended Kinradite, the former matriarch, and the rest of the clan through the turmoil prior to era 1. However, an accident separated Creek and destroyed Kinradite. Owyhee, as a forging gem, was left to pick up the pieces. 

The Reluctant Leader

Owyhee was less dominate of the two. In fact, to maintain Creek, she felt as if she had to cultivate a lot of strength despite only being a farmer. When she was separated from Poppy, she quickly had to assume leadership. She was also suddenly the eldest of the clan. She had to develop a cool and calm leadership style. That being said, she also had to eulogize and rear her former lover’s successor. It caused a lot of schisms and strife. Most of these feelings she kept to herself, even up until her demise.

None of these things made her unable to lead her clan. This calm exterior allowed her to guide her clan into the new era, despite forging gems being dubbed obsolete by the new Diamond Authority. Primitive Jaspers were not carefully crafted to the Diamond’s standards. It took a lot of changes to the way the clan did things to protect them from being purged. Owyhee worked with the warriors of her clan, Oregonite to become mercenaries, and eventually Jaguar to fight in the rebellion for Earth, to ensure that her clan survived. Participating in the rebellion on Earth was the biggest risk Owyhee ever took. Unfortunately, it didn’t pay off because war isn’t fair. The band of Primitive Jaspers was left to die when the rebellion lost in a battle. Owyhee’s pieces were taken by her matriarch’s successor, Kinradite. She wouldn’t be eulogized until the modern age.

Quiet Strength

When gems are eulogized they are reforged. The resulting gemlings are gems with very rudimentary physical forms that they develop into more ‘sophisticated’ forms over time. They are also a wholly new gem with no ‘programmed’ purpose, but they are guided by stories of their predecessor. Owyhee’s successor was no different. She was reforged by Kinradite sometime very recently, however, by then Kinradite had found Poppy. He and Poppy had grown up together in a crush under the watchful eye of Owyhee’s current predecessor. Therefore, since Poppy was much closer to Owyhee, Owyhee’s successor ended up in her care. The gemling still seems to have the quiet strength that her predecessor had so, despite the unresolved feelings, Owyhee is still very grounding for Poppy. 

[danceofthechimera]

FAQ: Is this Single Verse blog? Multiverse?

This rp is pretty unique in that gems live for a long ass time. They can be around for 10,000 years or more very easily! Kinradite himself is over 7,000 years old. Ergo, I’ve split that time up into verses. 

To put it in prospective: Kinradite and all the other gems are in one single verse because they all can live well over 2,000 years. Everyone else will be in their assorted verse. Other beings that exist this long can also show up in the other verses.

V: Pre-Rebellion

This includes the time Kin was on homeworld with his family (gemling kin!). It also includes the time when Kin and his family were working as mercenaries for the highest bidder. He is opened to taking on any job that will get him and his family more prestige at this time. Hire him on to fight or gather information. However, he’s a hot headed kid. He makes a lot of mistakes and rushes into things. This might be something whomever he’s working with will have to deal with.

V: Rebellion

Kin (and his family) are on Earth. They have broken away with home world AND the part of their clan that had no interest in growing gems in the old way on Earth. This is the time they trained and fraternized with the Crystal Gem’s Resistance. This is also the time all of the gems became intimate with the locals. They taught many cultures to farm (this was around the agricultural revolution) and they had an even more invested interest in protecting the planet. During this time they also did some final spying for the Resistance, however, sometime before the battle their loyalty to the cause was questioned by others within the resistance. This set the stage for their annihilation in battle, abandoned by the Resistance. Kin was wounded and escaped taking some pieces of his family with him.

V: Post-Rebellion

This verse starts immediately after the final battle, which was roughly 3,000 years ago from present time and lasts for those 3,000 years. Kinradite has been running during this time. His gem was partially compromised, which has effected his memory and his ability to hold his form. He spends most of his time as Chi Wara, jumping between planes of existence. He behaves quite erratically, since the battle wouldn’t have been that long ago for him. Because of his distrust and the betrayal by the Resistance, it’s difficult for him to make new connections with others during this time. Because he is constantly running, however, he will make many appearances in different places. It is possible that he may have planted some pieces of his comrades (and other fragments of gems he may have escaped with by mistake). However, his memory isn’t the best. He could have forgotten some of his charges. This verse ends once he finally decides to settle down and eulogizes some of his former clansmen.

V: Modern

Canon Setting. Most of the items from the Post Rebellion hold true. Once Kinradite immerges it comes out that the majority of the gems who were on Earth after the last battle were corrupted. He has already planted Oregonite and Jaguar, teaching them about their predecessors in the tradition way as gems reforged by him do not emerge with a purpose.

Poppy, one of Kin’s clan members, was discovered to survive the last battle, having been captured by HomeWorld to forge rarer gems for them. While she and he do know about each other, they have chosen to live seperately. There is now several thousand years worth of development between them, making it difficult to relate despite being the same gem type. Poppy did take Owyhee, and has recently reforged her to live with her in Southeast Asia.

I hate the terms “selective” and “Mutals-Only” by the way– I will roleplay with any one who is creative and can contribute good ideas to a story.  – Any muse. Any Fandom. I can become a little unsure of myself  when it comes to being included in someone’s canon, but thats only because I need a lot of reassurance. Please PLEASE include me in your ideas.

What are you looking for?

Frequent Roleplay Partners!! Darn it, I just like making friends. I also like to see my partners rping with each other. B) Lets all just roleplay with one another. Come see the people I’m rping with! -Look at the mun stuff tag. 

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!! Develop your character, develop my character, heck why not both? Both is good. I can play Kinradite in pretty much any Universe, as he can strut between planes of existence (he’s just not a time traveler, wrong fandom). I am also looking for relationships. Enemies, friends, students, children, masters(teachers)- perhaps lovers but he is also in a place trying to find himself. Romance isn’t a priority. Since he was wounded, he frequently takes on the form of a Chi Wara, a chimera like creature of African folklore.  Also:

He can show up and wreck havoc, or he can show up as a guide.

He can get into the wrong hands and end up in a exhibit, or he can be prized as someone’s exotic pet. -It’ll get a little awkward of course when he remembers his more sophisticated form.

He can also show up in his warrior form as well when he recalls enough memory to but he cannot switch his form at will.

He must “die” and reform. What appearance he takes depends upon his mindset at the time.

HE NEEDS PRESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS. I would love love LOVE for someone to insert  themselves into the story I have here. He needs people to ground him (not just lovers but enemies, students, etc) so check out my  headcanons and come talk to me.

Whats your roleplaying style? 

I personally use the “yes, and…” technique! 

A quick lesson on improvisation: when you are writing or performing with someone else, always use the yes, and technique. All you do is go with the current scenario the person is suggesting and add small ideas to it – this keeps the flow of ideas forming. Try it! It’s great practice while roleplaying. 

That being said, if you give me a random prompt and there is a 85% chance I’ll answer it. So please do. – Give me your prompts!!!! >:U

Contribute to the thread. Take it in a direction. Redirect a thread from a direction I’m taking it in. This is the way to keep me engaged in our thread, okay? Otherwise I do:

Third person narrative ONLY

Novel format (new lines and quotations) and Script format (action marks and listed characters) with minimal formatting or reaction images. I do however occasionally sketch my reaction images. You can find those at this tag: sketch rp

3-6 sentences a post - which you DO NOT HAVE TO MATCH!! Just give me something to work with.

I can do longer posts if I really like what you’re writing about. /)u(\ Please don’t be intimidated, I just really like your writing.

NPCs (Non playable characters) or additional characters to the stories that push them along. I usually have 2-3 characters in an rp. 

PRESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS (please!) come talk to me about it

Roleplaying tags- look for your tag (ask me) or your url to find your rp thread

AUS!!!!! (Alternative Universes)- He can step from one plane to another. I can also do modern stuff with him or play in other settings. Lets talk okay?

Is this Single Verse? Multiverse?

This rp is pretty unique in that gems live for a long ass time. They can be around for 10,000 years or so, none flat! Kinradite himself is over 7,000 years old. Ergo, I’ve split that time up into verses. 

 To put it in prospective: Kinradite and all the other gems are in one single verse because they all can live well over 2,000 years. Everyone else will be in their assorted verse. Other beings that exist this long can also show up in the other verses.

V: Pre-Rebellion

This includes the time Kin was on homeworld with his family (gemling kin!). It also includes the time when Kin and his family were working as mercenaries for the highest bidder. He is opened to taking on any job that will get him and his family more prestige at this time. Hire him on to fight or gather information. However, he’s a hot headed kid. He makes a lot of mistakes and rushes into things. This might be something whomever he’s working with will have to deal with.

V: Rebellion

Kin (and his family) are on Earth. They have broken away with home world AND the part of their clan that had no interest in growing gems in the old way on Earth. This is the time they trained and fraternized with the Crystal Gem’s Resistance. This is also the time all of the gems became intimate with the locals. They taught many cultures to farm (this was around the agricultural revolution) and they had an even more invested interest in protecting the planet. During this time they also did some final spying for the Resistance, however, sometime before the battle their loyalty to the cause was questioned by others within the resistance. This set the stage for their annihilation in battle, abandoned by the Resistance. Kin was wounded and escaped taking some pieces of his family with him.

V: Post-Rebellion

This verse starts immediately after the final battle, which was roughly 3,000 years ago from present time and lasts for those 3,000 years. Kinradite has been running during this time. His gem was partially compromised, which has effected his memory and his ability to hold his form. He spends most of his time as Chi Wara, jumping between planes of existence. He behaves quite erratically, since the battle wouldn’t have been that long ago for him. Because of his distrust and the betrayal by the Resistance, it’s difficult for him to make new connections with others during this time. Because he is constantly running, however, he will make many appearances in different places. It is possible that he may have planted some pieces of his comrades (and other fragments of gems he may have escaped with by mistake). However, his memory isn’t the best. He could have forgotten some of his charges. This verse ends once he finally decides to settle down and eulogizes some of his former clansmen. 

V: Modern

Canon Setting. Most of the items from the Post Rebellion hold true. Once Kinradite immerges it comes out that the majority of the gems who were on Earth after the last battle were corrupted. He has already planted Oregonite and Jaguar, teaching them about their predecessors in the tradition way as gems reforged by him do not emerge with a purpose. 

Poppy, one of Kin’s clan members, was discovered to survive the last battle, having been captured by HomeWorld to forge rarer gems for them. While she and he do know about each other, they have chosen to live seperately. There is now several thousand years worth of development between them, making it difficult to relate despite being the same gem type. Poppy did take Owyhee, and has recently reforged her to live with her in Southeast Asia. 

I also do AUs. Plenty of AUs.
