BASICS

Hallo hallo, and welcome to my funniest little disaster's carrd. The name's Kouren, but I routinely go by Ren or Ghostie, depending on how silly I'm feeling in the day.I'm 23 going on 24 this year (as of 2024), and while I won't publicly advertise my own birthday, I will note that I have been roleplaying this SPECIFIC character since around the time that Undertale came out... which is where his idea / concept came to be, along with the massive aid of the people who I've come to call best friends and family.I function the way a vampire ought to and with the honorable mention of a moral backbone that a faerie often is attributed to have. As such, feel free to refer to me as your local fae vampire, everybody else does.A note that I'm going to make upfront before anyone gets some shrewd opinion of how I handle my blog... I am severely chronically ill and suffer from particularly intense alexithymia and PTSD that influences how I respond to a normal situation. Most of the time, if I'm talking to a friend on the dash, but I'm not doing replies or asks, then I'm just too tired to write. Similarly, if I'm churning out replies but I haven't gotten to yours by the time I'm cutting the time for myself to rest, it's not you, it's literally the ADHD demons.

MAINS & SHIPS

If you would at any point like to ship with Kairos, please just let me know, I probably also wish to ship with your muse(s). Don't let him being married dissuade you. (The roleplayer who runs Katie ghosted me anyway, so whatever.) Long story short, I don't bite─ Kairos might, it's one of his interests~However! Just because I love my damned armada out here with y'all, doesn't mean I have every kind of boat on the sea. I may have a brigantine for one of my ships, while another ship I may actively try to sink. Again, not a discouragement, just a warning to discuss it first. I don't know upfront if you want to ship with me/Kairos.I love a good toxic fictional relationship as much as the next person, but understand that if you want that sort of relationship, I will not be romanticizing it. It will be messy and ugly and one of them may end up badly hurt or outright killed by Kairos' family members.. or by Kairos himself, first. Be weary of this approach unless you're prepared for the consequences that follow, naturally.I do not do exclusives on either ships or characters, hard stop. If you ask me to practice exclusivity, I will deny the attempt. Forcing me to do so as well will earn you a hard block.

TRIGGERS

Please tag all the following as
ren dont look or by ____ tw.spiders: realistic images, especially moving ones. cartoon spiders and anime based ones (that aren't realistically designed) are allowed, usually.medical malpractice: as someone who has gone through ten thousand horrible doctors, with a history of being treated like shit by the medical community, if you dabble in this, please at least tag it when it's overt.sacrificial imagery (specifically sacrificial knives): i don't understand why this one makes me so damn panicked, but it has gotten to a point in my head that i can't even fight the fatui in genshin without breaking down into tears (which has stopped me from playing sadly). anything to do with sacrificial imagery, especially the curved ceremonial sacrifice blades, NEEDS TO BE TAGGED.floristpyre: a url that needs to be tagged, but i will not bar you from interacting with him. i had a big falling out with him after a bad romantic relationship. that's all.infernalpursuit (and their associated blogs): a url that needs to be tagged, but i will not bar you from interacting with them. truth be told, i harbor no ill will for gio, not anymore anyway. i just do not favor how we parted ways, is all.SA/Rape/CSA/etc: mmmmmmm tasty ptsd flashbacks. please tag this, even if it's implied.

INTERACTING

I interact on a daily basis with primarily those I feel comfortable around already, but that isn't to say that I won't interact with anybody that's new to me or my blog's character(s). In actuality, if you see me interacting more with my affiliates and my mains over anybody else, it's because I'm having a particularly bad day - it has nothing to do with you or who or how you are writing.If you'd like to interact with me, send in a meme! Send in a random ask! Send me a PM, a submission in character, anything! I love getting things for my muses and always do I love to talk. If you don't do well with first meetings, like I certainly can't do them often, rely on little pre established relationships! Kairos has been around the block in his past, both platonically and romantically (though rarely sexually).

NOPE

Sees bird in air, breaks into cage and attacks creature lie in the sink all day i shredded your linens for you. If it smells like fish eat as much as you wish thinking longingly about tuna brine. Shred all toilet paper and spread around the house what the heck just happened, something feels fishy and wake up wander around the house making large amounts of noise jump on top of your human's bed and fall asleep again for if it fits, i sits shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff, and get scared by doggo also cucumerro .Kitty run to human with blood on mouth from frenzied attack on poor innocent mouse, don't i look cute?.

OTHER

My threads will without question be moderately formatted. For frame of reference, I use colored text that corresponds to the character, small text for all replies, starters, opens, and asks (basically all IC posts), icons / graphics that match the character, the character’s faceclaim as well as dividers and banners for nearly all starters, asks and headcanon posts as of 1.8.2024. You do not have to match any of this.I quietly request basic grammar and minimal typos, or at the very least, being readable and I can comprehend the things you're writing. I don't write on Tumblr to play a guessing game with all of my replies on what's being said. I want to write and have fun. That being said, I don't knock the hustle of being bi- or tri- or multi- lingual in this day and age. I myself speak at least decently in three languages. But please? Basic grammar. (This blog is written primarily in English, with really basic understanding allowed for Mexican Spanish and Standard French.)

Tropes

Enemies to Lovers: When two characters start off as enemies and, over the course of some timeframe, end up in a romantic relationship. These 'enemies' have to overcome their differences or misconceptions about each other, and in the process, they fall in love.Childhood Friends: Characters that have known the main character from childhood can often offer new insights into their backstory that both the audience and other characters would not otherwise be privy to.I Don't Recognize You Anymore: variation of My God, What Have I Done? A well-intentioned but misguided character having to face someone who no longer recognizes them immediately the way they may have in the past due to their actions in the past and present.Second Chance: By definition, they follow a relationship that dissolved at some point in the past, and new circumstances are giving that love another chance to blossom.Opposites Attract: used to say that people who are very different from each other are often attracted to each other.

Ships: HSR

While these are ships I wouldn't mind exploring within the boundaries of safety and reason, I AM NOT FORCING THIS NOR DO I SEEK THEM OUT FIRST. I love me some good soup (chemistry).

Kairos & Aventurine: all my devils wear your prada [ aven's story makes me sick and kairos would love him to death ]Kairos & Black Swan: sick & tired of living in your echoes of memory [ there's such a messy relationship that can come from this with my hsr lore for kairos ]Kairos & Boothill: bullet holes & black flags [ pirate x cowboy hell yeah brother ]

IMPORTANT PORTRAYAL NOTES

Kairos is heavily influenced by the original mythos of Lovecraft's supposed eldritch monstrosities, taking away most of the in-laden racism that comes along with it and simply making it truly monstrous. Similarly, a good portion of his deific ability is based around "how" gods come to be, from both Grecian mythology as well as Pathfinder mechanics.
Kairos is my longest running original character (on Tumblr, at least), and I've had plenty of people say that he's a bad representation of a POC, while most of my friends and fellow roleplayers argue otherwise. He's not meant to be a pretty portrayal, he's meant to be a real portrayal.
While he does function as a god of creation, he has his limitations, as any newly risen deity will have. He relies a lot on the power of the spoken word as well as the power of imagination, so if you can describe it to him in detail, there's a good chance he will be able to create it.

BIOGRAPHY

LIKE LACING POISON IN A BIRTHDAY CAKE Born to a terrible power hungry couple in the deep south of Louisiana during the Jim Crow era of the United States, [ REDACTED ] was a beautiful example of you are not the sum of what your parents made you. Growing up around dangerous criminals, cult priests, and morally black-hearted scientists, [ REDACTED ] often found himself believing that he was being punished for some evil deeds he had done in a life before this one, made to suffer for the horrible things he had done without ability to atone for it - for that was how awful he was.After snapping mentally from the brutality of the experiments and the cult behavior that threatened to warp that truthful goodness in his heart into something malicious, [ REDACTED ] left the false hospital and ran for the mountains of the distant plains, learning how to survive off the land and how to get people to be kinder to him even though he was darker skinned in an era that would have seen him dead in most other situations. Eventually, he ran afoul a strange cavern, and an even stranger hole in the ground of said cavern.He got too close, and he began to fall. He could feel the dread as he fell too fast and he knew he would hit the ground too hard. The young child cried out for help, desperate for some god or some angel to save him...Th▉t wa▉ h▉s fir▉▉ mis▉▉ke.After countless thousands of years of servitude to an entity that only saw him fit to be its puppet of strength in both the physical and the magical, he met a man named Clemency, who ended up noticing what predicament he had gotten himself into, and sought to fix it so that his new-found son could have a better life. A life, at least, free of his chains and shackles. (Of course, the therapy would come later.) More to be added as I feel motivation.

Non-magical Abilities/Skills Swordsmanship: though gifted with many things, he is mediocre at best with the blade. He's able to function with one and can fight with one if given one to ready himself with it but it's not his preferred manner of fighting. Just the same, if he had a choice in what sword he could use at any given moment, he would likely choose a Xiphos or a Scimitar. He has a handmade Xiphos sword named Meteorite.Throwing Proficiency: primarily for daggers and small sharp objects, this can also be applied to cards as well. He is expertly proficient in throwing daggers, darts, cards, and other small sharp objects at targets.Archery Proficiency: He is expertly proficient in all things archery and can shoot a target at 500ft with his longbow with hair splitting accuracy. He also has specially made arrows that damage gods and higher demons but rarely uses them because of how pricey they are to keep crafting.Deific Consumption: He can consume the life force of demigods, lesser deities, and greater deities. He can also feast on their flesh and body parts for knowledge about their place in the cosmos but oftentimes he just leaves them unconscious and feasts on their life force. He draws a line.Forgesmithing: taught by a master blacksmith, he has a knack for forging and has created many weapons, shields, and armor for many clientele. He's no master just yet but he has a clear spark and passion for it. He can make many things but has a limit for what he can make. For commissions, he often requires harder parts of the materials to be brought in but metals and gemstones and glass, colored or clear, he can work with normally.Self Defense - Tae Kwon Do: again, something he's mediocre at but something he learned to protect himself in case his magic can't help him for one reason or another. He's not good at this but a family friend helped him learn.

SOUL based abilities Definition: Abilities granted to the individual in possession of the SOUL in question, and are typically unique to them. All SOULs have abilities that follow the same line of thought as the main coloration of SOUL traits (red, orange, yellow, blue, cyan, purple, and green).Continue: an ability allowing for extended usage of a particular asset. The amount of energy required to uphold this for any given time relies on what’s being asked to be used longer. The duration of extended usage varies, and goes in the order of strength, speed, strength & speed together, and magic longest to shortest. Passive ability.No Trace: a self-healing ability that allows for there to be “no trace” of the wound(s) inflicted, from the actual sighting of the wound(s) to the scar it may or may not leave behind without the ability. It’s incredibly picky, however, and when it’s activated, as there are conditions to it. Said conditions are as follows: there must be a high concentration of Perseverance in the SOUL prior to the wound(s) being inflicted, and the SOUL’s owner must want to come out of the fight seemingly unharmed (alternatively, they must want to [Keep Going] which is separate from “Continue”). Passive ability.War on Souls: an ability meant to be used when a fight seems to be going against the owner of the Perseverance SOUL, possibly leading to death, but it can be used as long as it is being perceived that they’re losing a fight they don’t want to lose. It is a counterbalance to “Continue” in the sense that it’ll boost the opposite, or least powerful Stat during the battle. However, it’ll wear the SOUL and its owner out intensely. Passive ability.Mightier than the Sword: an ability, named as a reference to an old English phrase, that allows its user to do a small number of attacks by pulling from the magical potential within them, not the magic itself. It is considered a projection of the SOUL itself, therefore the force / power of each strike depends on the Perseverance within one’s SOUL. Something that used to be done with a pen, as the words now muttered or shouted during battle were written shorthand in the air with any sort of on-hand pen (sometimes, previous SOULs would use their fingers if they were strong enough). Active ability, requires a full awareness to use it.Glassbreak: an ability meant specifically for diversion or distraction. It summons an array of mirrors around the individual considered a threat, with mirror images of the SOUL’s owner reflected in them, however there are no discerning differences between each image. After a set time all mirrors will shatter and cut through most armor and magical barriers, resulting in allowing the caster to get away safely with that time. Active ability, requires a full awareness and somatic components to use it.Crosses & Crossbones: an ability that does a major attack that draws a minor amount of power from the magical prowess of the SOUL (not the actual magic). Summons an exact duplicate of the current weapon - or the desired weapon if one doesn’t have a weapon on their person, but colored purple, and it’s capable of breaking when put under too much pressure. Whether or not the constructed weapon breaks, it causes the user to become dizzy and lightheaded from using too much SOUL energy. Widely considered a “last resort” due to how easy it is to faint after using this ability. Active ability, ill advised to use, requires full awareness, somatic components, and half of magical reserves.

Universal Intelligence abilities Definition: Abilities granted to an individual based on their "Party Affiliation". The more utility a "Party Member" has, the more UI Abilities they have.Stat Manipulation: allows him to manipulate the GAMEWORLD around him.
─ Party Stat Boost: allows him to target up to five other people (six if he doesn’t do so for himself) and boost one of their stats.
─ Self Stat Manipulation: allows him to alter his stats as he sees fit, but can only alter one stat at a time. Too many instances of this without rest will cause intense fatigue and may cause the manipulation to hinder rather than help the person its reaching out for.
─ Opponent Stat Manipulation: allows him to alter one stat of his opponent temporarily, so long as he can get direct eye contact for at least two seconds. This effect is felt, however, and tends to lead to the opponent targeting him as a result.
─ Level Playing Field: allows him to set everyone’s stats in a half-mile radius to the same level as everyone of their class, regardless of who is fighting who. This effect is concentration based and can last up to an hour.Code Cracking: allows him to determine who the “Player” is in a GAMEWORLD as a result of his old universe having finally breached that barrier and no longer requiring any use of a “Player” to guide their world any further. He himself can address the player directly while still holding a conversation with the vessel they’re piloting, if said vessel is more than just that.Primordial Intervention: due to an old summoning that went in his favor, he can - in theory - summon primordial beings to aid him. However, he does not recall the ability to do this consciously and therefore has no idea that he can do it. The ones who would respond to him would be Nature herself, who had blessed him a long time ago and gave him his plant based abilities, Darkness, and several ancient Titans who hold a begrudging respect for him. He can technically beckon Entropy to his side as well due to previously successfully summoning it to his aid, but only if it is Awakened prior to the call.Scent of Intent: due to his old station of being a high ranking Hunter, he can sense the Intent (usually, to harm) of a person nearby. However, due to intense exposure to eldritch forces over the past several hundred years, he currently can no longer actively sense Intent. He can only ever use this ability when maddened or when asleep.Life Sight: due to being part of the species that he is, he can instead choose to see the magical essences or living energy within a person. However, he tries to not use this often, as it can cause him to go into a frenzy and try to eat said energy and magic.Energy Consumption: allows him to consume the living energy of another living entity (hierarchy and rules/effects here) in order to gain both extra magic and proper nutrition for his soul, rather than his body (which is equally important). Can substitute energy for magic at double the consumption amount.

Healing abilities Healing: as a basic concept, this allows for the acceleration of the body’s natural process of healing damaged cells and broken bones, but does not heal emotional or psychological exhaustion or damage. This is the type of green magic commonly used among any support classes and some types of fighting classes. (Expert)Energy Healing: allows him to use his own energy to almost instantaneously heal nearly any non-grievous wound, at the cost of becoming exceedingly tired and risking his life if he uses this ability too often. (Master/Impossible)Stellar Healing: allows him to use the energy of dying or newly birthed stars in nearby galaxies or star systems to heal primarily grievous wounds and fix broken bones, possibly even bring someone off the cusp of life by forcibly pulling the soul back into their body. This technique is usually avoided, as it harms him in the process of being the “conduit” between the star and the person needing healed. This cannot be used by him for his own benefit. (Master/Impossible; this is the only level for this type of healing)Inorganic Restoration: allows him to mend small objects back to their undamaged states so long as he has a clear picture of what it’s supposed to look like. (Basic)Wound Transferal: usually used as a last resort when damage is too severe, he can transfer half of a wound’s damage to himself in order to be able to save the individual. Based on the wound, this can either knock him out or put him in a similar critical state after the wound is completely dealt with. Any healing magic short of divinity can’t fix wound transferral deaths.

More to be added as they come up.

CAPTAIN OF YOUR OWN FATE

main verse: end of book one
Canon. He hadn't believed it for a long time, hadn't believed that the world was finally granting him a moment of peace, a moment to BREATHE. But here he is. Married happily to the love of his life, with a small baby girl and his biological child from ages past, a part of a family who loves him and is proud of him. He couldn't ask for more... but he could ask for a few things after.

main verse: beginning of book two
Post-Canon/Default. Twenty years is a long time to be content, for your average human. Twenty years is a fifth of the most generous human life... but for Kairos, it's the blink of an eye. For him, it's as if he closed his eyes, and suddenly he's older. Suddenly, he's nervous again. Suddenly, he has an itch to push himself to new heights. But this time, he'll play it a little sa... oh who is he kidding? GERONIMO!

HOYOVERSE

genshin impact: in the shadow of mercy
AU. A researcher for the Sumeru Akademiya, Kairos is often overlooked as just another researcher who dabbles into things that he perhaps shouldn't. However, what most people overlook, usually to their own detriment, is that he doesn't age anymore. He has given claim that he has 'abandoned' his life's work of figuring out the keys to immortality, but only after supposedly 'meeting an old friend' who he only calls 'Mercy'. Electro vision user, Bow wielder.

honkai star rail: with the power of memory
AU. An unknown researcher with the uncanny ability to never be in the same exact place twice, Kairos has developed an odd rapport with most of the cosmos as the Trailblazer and the Astral Express knows it to be. Heralding from a place that he claims to be 'ever so far away, the Express would take days to get there, even with a warp,' he has a penchant for saying things that are just this side of 'uncanny'... as in they are more often than not likely to come true. Remembrance Pathstrider, operator of Harmony, Quantum type damage.
