#rp: kinradite

[danceofthechimera]

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.

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.

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.

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 also do AUs. Plenty of AUs.

FAQ: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 pompts!!!! >:U

I do do plotting and plans, but I like a partner that will keep me on my toes. 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) 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)- Kinradite can step from one plane to another. I can also do modern stuff with him or play in other settings. Lets talk okay?

Who the heck are you?

My name is PD! I like sunsets, walks on the beach… Mun is of age but I won’t be doing any smut here. That does not exclude some sensitive topics but this will mostly be SFW. I’ll tag it otherwise.

Whats this about?

Steven Universe is an awesome, very creative (very heart wrenching), very subversive show made by Rebecca Sugar. It has an equally creative fandom and I wanted to be a part of that. That’s why I’m here doing some developing. A couple doodles here n there. I’m flexing my creative muscle and changing things up a bit.

This is a multimuse blog, meaning I have 4 additional muses to play! You can find their tags here:

Who can roleplay with you?

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.

How do I roleplay with you?

Memes. Opened posts. Shoot me an ask. I can plot but I prefer to be pretty spontaneous and impromptu. You can also come say hi if you want. c:

top

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.
