Kain
Learning & Innovation | 
❧ Played by t-chan |
 |
Appearance: Kain has a boyish charm and a baby face to match. He's not very physically strong, more lean than built. He has problems keeping his hair out of his face. He looks absentminded but is almost always smiling if a bit confused. He's usually in plain clothes or shirts with a lot of pencils, notes and papers sticking out of all his pockets. He falls asleep at the drop of a hat and a soft, ethereal looking pillow is usually a good sign he’s around somewhere nearby.
Characteristics: Absentminded, flighty, dreamy, imaginative, creative, short-attention span, insecure, forgetful, wordy, inspired.
Likes: Innovations of any kind but especially technology, knowledge, sharing of information, daydreams and imagination.
Dislikes: Destruction of knowledge, murder, broken devices, false information, violence. |
|
Shrine: A 2x2 square feet Rube Goldberg device.
Ritual: You start the device by placing pushing the shiny gold ball at the very top of a ramp, which delivers it to a staircase, falls onto a seesaw, sets off a pully system as well as a water powered pump which triggers a set of chimes. Eventually the end of the device drops the original ball into a small wooden cup, which will usually alert Kain's attention. Sacrifices are placed in a small platform above the cup which allows the ball to land on it instead. Please don't try to play around with the shrine, Kain doesn't like that. |

Day 36, afternoon
[Is it just me or is it slightly different today from last time? Leaning in to study it closer...]

Re: Day 36, afternoon
[I... I want it...]
[No Waver don't mess with another god's shrine without their permission]
Re: Day 36, afternoon
I quite enjoyed that last part. [laughs gently as he catches some confetti]
Re: Day 36, afternoon
[covered in confetti]
Wh...What...!!
Re: Day 36, afternoon
Colors and lights!
Re: Day 36, afternoon
Ah... yes...
[shoot i forgot what i was going to say]

Re: Day 36, afternoon
And one should always seek to be stimulated.
Re: Day 36, afternoon
Ahem. Anyway.

Re: Day 36, afternoon
Considering the knowledge I possess regarding the natural and magical enhancement properties of certain plants is essentially a complete waste here, I've been having to experiment quite a lot and found myself taking notes on the paper you've been supplying me for lessons.
It only occurred to me this morning while recording some findings that, since I'm doing it for myself anyway, you may be interested in a more official version of them... I'm no artist, but I can draw scientific diagrams well enough, and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who could benefit from an easily accessible source of information about the currently discovered plants in the area...
Well, it's not entirely selfless. I still need a number of things.

Re: Day 36, afternoon
I wanted a fridge... ah, but we still don't have electricity, fuck. Eizon's sacrifices are too strange... [GRUMBLE GRUMBLE TO SELF]
Re: Day 36, afternoon
Seek out others who may have begun a similar venture. One with a hand for artistry perhaps. Make your book and speak with the others here to fill it to the knowledge of the whole. And then, find a way to place that information where it would be helpful to all who seek to know it. [placing his finger upon his lip] Samples would be nice as well, for those that would not venture far into the beyond.
For this you will have a fridge and perhaps some credit, should you do a good job.

Just so you know, I'm so returning for that extra credit when I can show you the best damn flora studies book you've ever seen.
