As always, do let me know if there's anything I can improve! I'm never sure whether the general populace wants these things screened or unscreened, but I'll adjust things as requested. I'm also here if you wanna opt out of anything, avoid spoilers, whatever the heck else.

Alternatively, yell at me for my icon keywords. They are my punishment to all of you.

Player Stuff
  • Contact: PMing this journal, [plurk.com profile] fourteenghosts, or discord at nu#5813 all work!
  • Formats: I have no strong preference at all between brackets and prose. I will always happily do either.
  • Threadhopping: I honestly love it. Completely encouraged.
  • Fourthwalling: Fine with me.
  • Backtagging: I really do try, but if something got dropped that you wanted to do more with, by all means let me know.
  • Shipping: If that's where development goes I'm open to it, but I'm generally not seeking it out.
  • Smut: Not really interested. Maybe if it's for comedy purposes.
  • Call Me: Nu, she/her
  • Timezone: CST and abysmal at converting
  • Schedule: Erratic. Fun fact: I've officially decreed my "tagging hours" end at 10 PM in order to stop myself from continuing to push it until I'm too sleepy to write, but every now and then I still do something past that. I never settled on a satisfying opening time to match.
Character Stuff
Honestly, though, please realize that everything IC is negotiable. Nothing is gonna always be a good idea, nothing is impossible to ever work with, and if you're going to do anything really big to my character, you would talk to me first regardless of this post, right?
  • Negative Interactions/CR: Go for it. Lapis can handle it, might deserve it, and won't actually drown anybody for just talking shit, but will retaliate in kind and probably hold a grudge. That's fun in my book!
  • Violence: Lapis would prefer to avoid it, but can spiral way out of control if she really gets upset. Be aware that, depending on the environment and circumstances, she can be ridiculously powerful... whereas in unfavorable conditions, she may be kinda screwed.
  • Injury and Death: These work VERY differently for gems than for biological creatures! There pretty much are no minor injuries, so if you want to do anything serious, that'll need discussion.
  • Gettin Overly Friendly: Her species doesn't have sex or even a cultural concept of romance, although by now she pretty much gets it. She is nonetheless unlikely to appreciate invasions of her personal space. Prepare to be shot down.
  • Mind Reading and Such: Go ahead, it may be enlightening since she's not very open on her own.
  • Triggers? Don't listen to the fandom (or Peridot), most of the stuff Lapis is uncomfortable with is at a handleable level. She's good at shutting a topic down herself if she feels the need, and if it comes down to it will just end the conversation entirely. If for some reason that's not an option we go back up to the Negative CR bullet point, but you're not going to make her unplayable.

this one's slightly a mess, I really need to go through and redo some stuff

The Basics/First Impressions
Lapis is a magic rock projecting a hard-light body around itself. Obviously, she's blue and clearly not human at a glance. Her "outfit" never changes, by the way, unless she specifically decides to temporarily alter it for whatever reason. Her gemstone can be found embedded in her back, as per the icon on this post. The body is replaceable, but damage to the gem is A Big Deal.

She can control water. She can control water real good. Sometimes she flies around on wings made of water, which absolutely shouldn't work.

In demeanor, Lapis can vary quite a bit depending on who she's dealing with, how she's approached, and her general mood. She's capable of being nice, but if she doesn't feel like making that much effort she'll be totally unapologetic about it, and she's just as capable of being a dick. Still, while she can be temperamental, most of the time she's just kinda drily aloof and uninvested. Her body language tends towards tense and guarded habitually.

This never comes up in Eway, partly because she's constantly stressed out, but she's got a good sense of humor and in fact a playful side. Please make her laugh. :(

Current Canonpoint: Somewhere before Can't Go Back, which is to say, she was sitting on the moon being a creeper and feeling bad about herself. In Eway, however, there've been a lot of future spoilers and other shenanigans of that sort, so she has a pretty good knowledge of what happens later.




Life In Eway
Losses:
Words:
  • "Beta," from Peridot's Kindergarten event
  • "Artifact," from her own I Have No Mouth And I Must Etc event
And one actual memory from Ewaymas '18. She doesn't know what it is and nobody else knows about this at all, so I'm not telling. 8)

Lapis lives in floor 9 room 25, having naturally moved in with Peridot. (There's no need to room together in Eway which has infinite housing, but there's also no real reason not to for gems, who have no biological needs and little concept of personal property. I like it.) Claude the kittencat is also there. The interior of the room resembles their barn back home because Peridot is adorable.
Things Lapis has done to the room:
  • Enlarged the window so she can jump out it more readily.
  • Because of the difficulty in finding the right window from outside, Lapis bullied Toriel acquired a big colorful flag to mark it with. It helps!
  • There is a toilet. It's for home defense purposes.
  • Her general lack of possessions or personal touches in the living space raised some problems, so Lapis was behooved to add something that could not possibly be Peridot's under any circumstances. Thus, consider: the Rose Quartz portrait only it's Paulette
Possessions: Still barely owns anything. I like to think she stashes whatever she does have in the rafters.
Day To Day Activities:
She dislikes the mansion's evil-magic-mirror-based interior design aesthetic, but these days she doesn't have so much actual difficulty with it. Still, there honestly aren't that many places inside the mansion she wants to go that often, and hanging around outdoors instead or staying holed up in the room is a habit. Lapis doesn't really have any hobbies or routine activities, she can be seen flying around aimlessly more than anything. By some miracle, she has taken up sleeping completely independently of her canon self having done the same.

Likewise, she's perfectly willing to use video on the network these days, but the detached distance of text is still kind of comforting sometimes and she may use it to hide from feelings.


Lapis's Mirror is one of the nicer ones! Not actually a good person, but basically friendly and unlikely to be dangerous without a reason. She can get a bit pointlessly catty and passive-aggressive, though, mainly stemming from bitterness about her existence. And she is still very biased against other Mirrors, albeit currently she's open to the possibility that maybe a couple of them don't suck.
