Hey- uh, this is Klokateer #27414. I, uh, saw a load of the other guys on here, so... you know, I thought I'd introduce myself. Hey. Um- am I allowed to say my name on here? I'm Akoni.

Mod ( @jinglyjangly-theclowm ) with some rules!

💿 No ERP. Both mod and oc are minors. Sexual jokes/references are fine, I'm aware of the shows humour lol

💿 No DNI, I block at my own discretion

💿 Mod uses BST, so asks may take some time to be answered

💿 27414 speaks in regular white typeface. Mod will speak in small blue typeface

Below the cut are some facts about 27414! Not necessary to read, but might be useful for rp! :)

💿 Akoni is 14 years old, however the records at Mordhaus say he is 17 due to him lying about hos age to become a gear. He joined the gears along with a group of friends, but none of them made it apart from him

💿 Akoni is quite skittish, as he is rather scared being in Mordhaus. He doesn't like it at all.

💿 Akoni is from the UK. He is half Jamaican, half English

💿 Akoni has a stutter; he says 'um' and 'uh' quite a lot, and tends to repeat himself. It's not helped by how anxious he is

💿 Akoni is quite a low-level klokateer, and his main job is tuning instruments, etc

It's really... It's so cold down here...

Hey this isn't based on any issues brought up to me, but rather an issue I noticed within my own writing on this rp blog.

A recent rp thread I did on this blog included me saying that my character, Klokateer 27414, carries a knife in Mordhaus. At the time, I didn't realise how that would come across, though after thinking on it a little more, I realised how it might seem, and I wanted to say I apologise for if anything I wrote comes across as racially insensitive.

I didn't write anything with the intention of coming across racist, but I'm aware that my intention and how something I wrote may have come across are two different things. I originally included this in the thread to show 27414's fear around Mordhaus and him wanting to protect himself, but I'm realising now that I shouldn't have wrote that, as it was racially insensitive, and my intentions are different to how something I write actually comes across. As someone from the UK (where 27414 is also from) I am aware that knife crime in the UK is a heavily racialised topic, with many young black people in the UK facing discrimination or harassment from police and having a higher chance of being suspected of knife crime, and I did not take that into account while I was writing that thread, and I apologise for that. I should have thought more about how my writing and my characterization would come across, and I will do more research and think more clearly about the tones my writing could have in the future.

I've since deleted my parts of this thread, and I will make an effort to think more about what I write with black characters like 27414.

[gear-27414]

Hey, wake up. It's time to go stop Knubbler from getting his brains blown out. @klokateer2124

[ 27414 slowly comes around ]

Huh... oh- oh, okay- I'm coming!

[klokateer2124]

He's in the studio again today, so at least it'll be easy. We don't have to go anywhere.

[gear-27414]

Oh, that's- that's nice! I like- I like, um, being in the studio, I like it...!

[ 27414 follows 2124 ]

[klokateer2124]

Can I ask you a personal question?

[gear-27414]

Huh? Um- okay, uh- yeah, thats okay. Um- yes.

[klokateer2124]

You stutter, yeah? Do you stutter because you're nervous? Or just because you stutter?

[gear-27414]

Oh- my stutter? I- I just, um, I just have that- um, being nervous can... can make it worse- um, but it's just something I've- um, I've always had... it's- sorry if it's annoying-

[klokateer2124]

When I was in juniour high, a guy in my math class had a stutter a lot like yours. He was really smart. He always knew the answers but the teacher never called on him because he took too long to get through them.

Don't ever apologize for it again. You're not doing anything wrong.

[gear-27414]

T- The teachers never- they never, um, called on me, either- it's- other kids, um- they laughed at me, and- and they didn't want me getting- getting bullied anymore so- so they stopped, um- stopped asking me stuff...

[ He takes a minute to process what 2124 says about not apologising ]

I- I don't even know I'm doing it- anymore, the apologising, it's- I have to do it so often, I just- um, s' like second nature-

[klokateer2124]

Well, kick it out of your nature. You're not doing anything wrong.

[gear-27414]

That's- That's really- yeah, maybe... maybe I should...

[ They make it to the studio together ]

[klokateer2124]

Oh, by the way, Dick can totally tell you're like 14. Sorry.

[2124 walks into the studio before 27414 can react.]

[gear-27414]

Wh- Wait, I'm not!-

[ He quickly follows 2124 ]

I'm not- I'm not that young! I'm- I just look- I just look young!- I'm- I'm not!-

[klokateer2124]

Dude, it's okay. You're in. They're not gonna kick you out. But yeah, no, he can totally tell. He said something about it yesterday as we were leaving.

[gear-27414]

R- Really? I- I'm... I thought I was- um... do I look that- that young?

[klokateer2124]

Buddy, when I say your face I got scared.

[gear-27414]

I- I don't look that young! I'm not- ...the- um, i said I was 17 when I signed up, so- so I'm... that's what it says on my legal stuff here- here, um... now...

[klokateer2124]

I'm not gonna out you. Neither is he. That coward probably doesn't want to lose his 14 year old human sheild.

[gear-27414]

That's good. That's... I don't wanna get hurt or anything, um- for, um, lying about it...

[klokateer2124]

No, kid. They don't give a fuck about you. They screen your age to cover their own asses but once you're in, you're in.

[gear-27414]

Oh. Right, that- that makes more sense... is- have you... ever met any gears, um, younger than me? Or...

[klokateer2124]

Never. And I hope to god I never do.

[gear-27414]

Is it... is it bad? That I'm... is it really bad? You, um- you sound, um... stern?

[klokateer2124]

This is no place for children. It's dangerous here. You have a snowball's chance in hell.

[gear-27414]

I'm- I'm not that little, I'm gonna be okay. I have to be okay.

[klokateer2124]

Yeah, you will be. You'll be fine. You're smart. You'll get tough. You just never should have come here in the first place.

[gear-27414]

[ He looks away ]

I... yeah, I... um, I shouldn't have... I... yeah, I know that now...

[klokateer2124]

Just... stick close to me when you can, okay? I'll keep you out of trouble.

[gear-27414]

[ He nods ]

M'kay... thank you- um... yeah- thanks...

[klokateer2124]

...

[2124 moves to the console, where Knubbler is working. It sits down next to him and hauls out a chair for 27414.]

[gear-27414]

[ 27414 sits down slowly. He's still a little tired from being woken up ]

[gear-27414]

[gear-27414]

Wh- Wait, I'm not!-

[ He quickly follows 2124 ]

I'm not- I'm not that young! I'm- I just look- I just look young!- I'm- I'm not!-

[klokateer2124]

Dude, it's okay. You're in. They're not gonna kick you out. But yeah, no, he can totally tell. He said something about it yesterday as we were leaving.

[gear-27414]

R- Really? I- I'm... I thought I was- um... do I look that- that young?

[klokateer2124]

Buddy, when I say your face I got scared.

[gear-27414]

I- I don't look that young! I'm not- ...the- um, i said I was 17 when I signed up, so- so I'm... that's what it says on my legal stuff here- here, um... now...

[klokateer2124]

I'm not gonna out you. Neither is he. That coward probably doesn't want to lose his 14 year old human sheild.

[gear-27414]

That's good. That's... I don't wanna get hurt or anything, um- for, um, lying about it...

[klokateer2124]

No, kid. They don't give a fuck about you. They screen your age to cover their own asses but once you're in, you're in.

[gear-27414]

Oh. Right, that- that makes more sense... is- have you... ever met any gears, um, younger than me? Or...

[gear-27414]

Hey, wake up. It's time to go stop Knubbler from getting his brains blown out. @klokateer2124

[ 27414 slowly comes around ]

Huh... oh- oh, okay- I'm coming!

[klokateer2124]

He's in the studio again today, so at least it'll be easy. We don't have to go anywhere.

[gear-27414]

Oh, that's- that's nice! I like- I like, um, being in the studio, I like it...!

[ 27414 follows 2124 ]

[klokateer2124]

Can I ask you a personal question?

[gear-27414]

Huh? Um- okay, uh- yeah, thats okay. Um- yes.

[klokateer2124]

You stutter, yeah? Do you stutter because you're nervous? Or just because you stutter?

[gear-27414]

Oh- my stutter? I- I just, um, I just have that- um, being nervous can... can make it worse- um, but it's just something I've- um, I've always had... it's- sorry if it's annoying-

[klokateer2124]

When I was in juniour high, a guy in my math class had a stutter a lot like yours. He was really smart. He always knew the answers but the teacher never called on him because he took too long to get through them.

Don't ever apologize for it again. You're not doing anything wrong.

[gear-27414]

T- The teachers never- they never, um, called on me, either- it's- other kids, um- they laughed at me, and- and they didn't want me getting- getting bullied anymore so- so they stopped, um- stopped asking me stuff...

[ He takes a minute to process what 2124 says about not apologising ]

I- I don't even know I'm doing it- anymore, the apologising, it's- I have to do it so often, I just- um, s' like second nature-

[klokateer2124]

Well, kick it out of your nature. You're not doing anything wrong.

[gear-27414]

That's- That's really- yeah, maybe... maybe I should...

[ They make it to the studio together ]

[klokateer2124]

Oh, by the way, Dick can totally tell you're like 14. Sorry.
