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. |

To take a simple idea, delivery in this case, and make something different of the process.

Start with a end and the find your way to the beginning. Ten would be a good start for you.

[Sketches in Earth's solar system, roughly. It is accurate, but not very pretty; he is not quite seven at the moment.]
It's probly gonna have to be some kind of mobile, something that'll turn easily, so just a touch can get it going.
[Adds some strings to the planets to connect them.]
Re: [Day 18, early afternoon]
Re: [Day 18, early afternoon]
[Sketches in a rotating fan, then crosses it out.]
No, that's too hard. Maybe the other kind of fan.
[A hand-held fan appears. After a pause, he draws it balanced on something sticking straight up. After another pause, he draws some water dripping down onto the handle, at regular intervals.]
Every time the water hits the handle, it gets pushed down and the fan part goes up.

Re: [Day 18, early afternoon]
Next comes the water... it'd have to be something that didn't let everything out all at once. Like a bottle of water with a little hole in the cap, or a cup with a hole at the bottom.
...those would both be hard to get here, though.
Okay, so like... a basket woven out of vines, and lined with clay or something, except the clay isn't covering this little hole at the bottom, so the water drips out that hole.
Re: [Day 18, early afternoon]
Re: [Day 18, early afternoon]
...I dunno how to make a clay pitcher, but I bet I could figure it out.
Anyway, the pitcher's got this string tied to the handle, and the string's holding it up, so when the string breaks, the pitcher tips and the water goes into the bowl. But maybe it doesn't have to break. Maybe it's gonna burn through.
