TW‼️ mild horror, gross
Y’all have probably been waiting for this for a while. Mind if a girl becomes a horrifying parasitic mass? (Lore below cut, buckle up it’s a LOT)
Kindness takes the place of the cluster (mostly), just with a far more active and horrific role. Like the og cluster, she was made from shattered gem shards conglomerated into something meant to take form and literally rip apart planets from the inside, but this one decided not to do that. The hivemind of broken shards formed into one personality, and instead of reforming outward, it went straight up and out of the ground, learning how to extract life energy from the planet and thus further extending her reach by mixing stolen biological energy with gem light and shoving that matter between her shards to grow outward, taking over the weak-minded corrupted freaks that wandered aimlessly. Just destroying the planet wasn’t enough. She needed to reach across whole galaxies, take over in a way that the Diamonds could never, ever ignore. She doesn’t need a form, she needs the empire GONE. After all, most of her shards were shattered by one particular Diamond before grief crippled his execution streak. (Cough COUGH.)
The corrupted she gets a hold of become basically roided. Twice as violent and destructive, with a lot more aim and purpose behind their actions than the usual mindless thrashing. When shattered, Kindness will just take the shards back and keep them to use as seeds to spread farther. Sometimes she shatters them on purpose for that reason. Non-corrupted gems can also be pulled into her hivemind if they’re not careful. The sword in her chest came from a rebel army leigon that tried and failed to slaughter her. She kept the sword simply for her own amusement, and as a lure for any adventurous humans or gems looking to pull the sword from the stone. She hasn’t been known to control humans, just uses their biomatter and takes note of their body systems to further evolve her strategies.
She’s HEAVILY inspired off of Cyn from Murder Drones. Nobody knows why she forms a gem body a lot as a lure, she doesn’t have to, but the common guesses have something to do with a false sense of security, uncanny valley, and playing with her food.
