Little Kai and Auburn doodle I thought would be funny

Auburn is a new character, she’s a stowaway that got raised by Dakota after he found her aboard the Hercules.

I don’t have too much lore for her right now but she is Kai and Dakotas Daughter and that’s about all her lore

Punching your boss aftermath

And now some lore I wrote a moment ago to go with the art

“Malcom, what you’re doing will kill millions!” Kai shouted from the bottom of the two steps.

He was looking up at his best friend who was gazing at a dark purple crystal in front of him. The purple light shined in his half circle glasses.

“It will save our country, Kai. Have you forgotten why this world even started, there’s not enough to go around anymore.” Malcom spoke, turning his head slightly. “We could save so many.”

“Yes but at the cost of others. If you just let me finish my job we could come up with a plan, finally use those damn rockets and find a new home. That rock is proof that we could find something else out there.” Kai said, taking a step up.

Malcom glared at him.

“I don’t believe in such conspiracies, even if we did make it to space where would we go? It’s not like we know of other planets.” Malcom snapped, turning fully and walking down the steps, Kai backed up as he got closer.

Kai breathed. “We will figure it out.” He spoke, trying to calm Malcom down.

This was not the man Kai befriended back in elementary, he was different, he changed. That crystal was doing something to him and Kai could tell but he didn’t know how, he didn’t even really know what it was none of them did. All that it’s done so far was wipe out half of their government.

“You ask for peace even though we were dragged into this war.” Malcom hissed.

“No, our past politicians started it and it was our goal to end it, don’t you remember?” Kai said, looking disappointed.

“We were weak to think we could achieve something like peace, we’ve been at war for almost two decades what makes you think we could end it with-“

Malcom couldn’t even get all the words out when he felt the blunt force of a fist and then Kai grabbing him by his shirt collar with a look of rage. Kai shook Malcom aggressively as he spoke.

“DONT YOU DARE CALL ME WEAK! DONT YOU CALL ANY OF US WEAK! We are what remains and you speak ill of those who are dead and those who mourn them.” Kai shouted.

Officers bursted into the large room and began to run at Kai while bystanders watched in horror.

“We are all following a dream that YOU created! Snap out of whatever that thing is doing to you!” Kai cried.

The officers finally reached Kai and pried him away from Malcom. The man could only stare at Kai with his cold and angered expression as Kai was held back.

“Kai I hereby strip you of your status,” Malcom hissed, watching Kai be put in handcuffs, “Return to this building and I’ll see to it that your prison sentence is longer than just a few days.”

As Kai was being marched away by officers he didn’t say anything in retaliation he just stared at the floor, his knuckles ached from the blow to Malcom’s cheek.

Malcom watched Kai disappear and he turned back to the crystal and looked into his reflection in the glass containing the shard. His makeup on his cheek was smeared and bloody but underneath that was a gold tint that shown through. He touched his cheek and glared into his reflection, he needed to figure out what to do with this shard before more people start to turn on him in the future…

Hello here are some fun little headcanon things for you (don’t mind the sleep deprived video in the corner)

[the-deep-rift]

I’m thinking of adding like a circus group to deep rift with these old ocs who are from Kai’s old universe

So far the idea is just that they travel around and perform for people but each individual character comes from so messed up life into the circus life so quite literally they run away to join the circus

The names of the characters in order are:

Rylo, Freak, Serval, Ceres, Klystril, Sol

Some of the names will be changed (sorry freak you were made before freak meant something else 💀)

[the-deep-rift]

And now I shall describe to you how much I love my OCs:

That was written so fast Tumblr could barely keep up anyways here’s a tiny card board cutout I made of Kai (I am very normal)

I really wanna put my fursona in this universe just so I can give her lore and I have a few ideas

So she’s like adopted by a pirate captain whose name is Robert O’Riley.

Tail would take on the name Tailblazer O’Riley.

A few years later though a man named Collgreus takes the old captain, wanting answers for what happened a few years ago on the mech planet where the captain lost the Savage Heart, a powerful weapon that could’ve enhanced Collgreus’ business.

Collgreus basically is a business guy that takes advantage of pirates to do his bidding.

That’s all I got but this is a funky idea you may enjoy some fursona art

a nice chill break for Kai

i imagine kai later on in the story after the second explosion he freezes a lake every now and again to figure skate since at this point he wants to try and embrace the powers that hes gained rather than feel the need to hide them out of shame because of the mistakes he made in the past.

[the-deep-rift]

I think it would be really funny that like since Kai used to write a lot and still does what if he was an Ao3 writer and that’s why so many fucked up things have happened to him

[the-deep-rift]

Kai watched the glowing stone leave his hand, its surface beginning to spark and spit purple light. He remembered its power and understood that it would be the only way to stop the monster his friend had become.

He could feel the freezing touch of space on his fingertips as he floated there, looking up at the towering figure he once knew as Malcom. This time for sure they would both perish from the blast, as it should've gone 20 years ago.

Malcom roared with anger, recognizing the stone.

"COWARD!" He screamed, it seemed to echo as the others that made up his body also screamed. "coward! coward! coward!"

Kai didn't say anything, there wasn't much to say.

as the crystal grew brighter the man simply closed his eyes, he did not fear what would happen next only that it was over. His friends were safe, his world would be safe and his Dakota...He would be safe in Kai's absence.

Kai simply smiled as the sounds of the roars and explosions faded away and he was lost in the inky darkness of space...
