RP/ask blog for Kado Thorne from Fortnite run by @corvidazed! Partially an excuse to learn Blender rendering, so expect some of those.

Heavy on headcanons, canon divergent. I'm no lore expert but I will try my best to keep things accurate where I can!

I'm an adult, so please expect heavy themes and suggestive content from time to time. Tags to blacklist this content are below, and I will never post anything explicit. Shipping is welcome, but you and your character must be 18 or older.

Spotlight on Kado!

After narrowly escaping the events of C4S4 with his life, Kado rode out the shock waves of The Big Bang to end up on Helios prior to the events of C5S1. Content to bide his time and regroup, his presence on the island has remained subtle, save for the few remaining pieces of his collection that crash landed on the island alongside him.

He's been keeping close tabs on the island's inhabitants and their struggles, though the escape of Midas was something he failed to expect. With the island free from the iron rule of gods, Kado has taken an interest in the vacant throne and currently resides near Charon's Crossing.

While he's finally showing his face, Kado is keen to keep his vampiric identity hidden for as long as he can manage to keep such an ace up his sleeve. Ill intentions aside, he's about as friendly as a prissy appreciator of the finer things in life can be. He's easily won over through gifts of high value, eager to rebuild his once formidable collection from the ground up.

Although a vampire, his ancient existence has granted him resilience to the sun and other typical detriments. Still, he prefers to avoid the unrelenting heat of the new wasteland whenever possible.

Nobody on the island is from his normal timeline, but he's most often found interacting with @valeria-fortnite and @king-midas-fortnite.

And so another one falls. Or rather, rifts? I suppose an ambiguous fate is better than collapsing dead in the lakebed and stinking up the place.

I’ve yet to see the demise of a villain that surprises me, sidetracked as they’ve all been. Where has the passion for power and power alone gone?

I suppose I shouldn’t complain, it’s certainly made my life easier. Good riddance.

💄 for a makeup-themed headcanon

Narcissism is almost an understatement when it comes to Kado's self-adoration. Every carefully placed tattoo, luxurious skin care routine, grueling workout, all a testament of devotion to the temple that is his body. Makeup is no exception, and while he may not be the most skilled across the board, he can apply some rather killer eyeliner. A little blush can go a long way when your heart no longer beats.

Fear-themed headcanon.

Kado is threatened by little, and fears even less. Though he hides it from most, he doesn’t consider his vampirism a weakness and would be minimally troubled should the secret slip. Only one pressing fear claws at his mind for the time being, discovery creeping closer as the weeks crawl by.

Busy hands makes for a quiet mouth.

Forgive my general absence in prior weeks, some unrelated matters had to be addressed immediately.

I'm sure I've missed plenty of... fascinating occurrences on the island. Shame.

[kado-fortnite]

As far as I remember, we have no quarrel with each other (you'll recall that the heist on your time machine was organized by my former boss-- I had no part in it until after it had occured). In light of that, I wanted to enter into cordial dialogue with you.

Consider this... Not an invitation, as I'm aware you'd prefer to keep a low profile. More an offer for mutual assistance, should Doom attempt to come for you, or he show a weakness that you may be uniquely qualified to exploit. A fellow enemy of my enemy may not be a friend, but perhaps we could work together.

As a sort of peace offering, my team has managed to gain a version of Galactus' helmet from a previous loop, shrunk down by one of our operatives. I trust that it is unique enough to be of interest to you.

Cordially, @officialjohnjones

What an interesting little message to receive.

If I can find it in myself to stomach Nolan Chance, you’ll see I hold no quarrels with you for the heist. Your recent behavior towards the select few I find myself close with, however, is a different topic.

You’re a bold man for ruffling their feathers and proceeding to sidle up to me with gifts and talk of alliances. Are you aware that I’m quite close with Valeria? While I wouldn’t mind seeing Doom dethroned, do understand I must move carefully regarding him.

I’ll accept your little apology gift and leave myself open to future communication in return.

Walk carefully, Jones. Pick your battles wisely.

“FREE HUGS!”

I feel like some people here may need a hug.. so..! Free hugs! From- yours truly! 💕

[kado-fortnite]

I'm afraid my dealings with Valeria and Midas have tarnished my reputation a bit, I assure you there's no need to fear.

Hug?

[kado-fortnite]

Are you team Bouba or team Kiki?

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect)

What a deceptively complex question.

For a majority of applications, I prefer kiki. Yet to make kiki shine it cannot be fully separated from bouba. They compliment each other wonderfully.

[kado-fortnite]

It seems only two of the five have decided to approach.

♦️ — " Ka— er-... boss, we have someone who's wanting to meet you? She's rather peppy, very— "

♥️ — " Fashionable. Caro means fashionable. "

♦️ — " Yes, well, no matter the right terminology, she's requesting to meet you, sir. She says she likes your sense of fashion. "

- @the-dealers-fortnite

You can refer to me by my name, it’s quite alright.

Do send this fashionable person over my way. After being exposed to “wasteland style” I could use something more pleasant on the eyes.

[the-dealers-fortnite]

Dealers! It’s been so long I’d given up on running into any variation of you.

You’re certainly… different from the ones from my reality, but it’s a pleasure to see some familiar enough faces.

- @kado-fortnite

♦️ — " The same could be said about you, boss. We haven't ran into you—or a variant of you anyway yet. Granted, we haven't been able to find our reality's boss. "

♥️ — " It's charming to see you, Mr. Thor- "

♣️ — " Hey! Boss isn't a bad and angry as you guys made it seem! " He blurted, cutting off Inima.

♠️ — " Cluburi! " Cazma butted in in-turn, essentially popping Cluburi in the back of the head " No matter the variation, it's still the boss! "

🗺️ — " It's nice to see you faring well, Mr. Thorne. I hope your hotels have been—.. better than what we've seen happen to them, as Caro mentioned. "

[kado-fortnite]

It’s refreshing to witness the same old bantering after the time I’ve been having on Helios. Fret not, I hold no grudges against any of the five of you. Familiar in appearance as you may be, I do acknowledge that we are largely strangers to each other.

As for the hotels? Entirely destroyed, from what I know of. Prior to the loss of Asteria, I was able to pack a sizable amount of my collection into various crates and containers in the hopes they may survive. A fraction of that amount has been recovered, though most of even that remains safely packed away.

All of you are welcome to visit me in the tower I’ve taken as my home. Cloistered Castle, I believe the locals call it. Northern end of the island, isolated yet hard to miss.

Do stay in touch should you need anything. <3

[the-dealers-fortnite]

" This is going to go poorly. " — ♦️

" Charming- " — ♥️

" It shouldn't be that bad. At least Mr. Thorne isn't here, no? " — ♣️

" Not to disregard your input, but as someone who runs around Slappy Shores, I don't think you've faced much of Mr. Thorne. " — ♠️

" Enough. Let's just get going already. " — 🗺️

ooc. // hello! this is gonna be a mess but I wanted to give it a shot! this is an rp blog for The Dealers! I have given them corresponding names, but may also still give them the emoji marks!

♦️ — Caro. Head of the deck. Often gets the tail end of Kado's anger. For that reason, he's less lenient and pretty straight to the point.

♥️ — Inima. The second in the deck. Not as commanding and hardened at Caro, but he can be a little sassy.

♣️ — Cluburi. The third in the deck. The furthest one from Kado's anger, which has scored him to be far more.. friendlier. He's not hostile and essentially pretty forgiving, but he will still protect his Boss's precious cargo and factory.

♠️ — Cazma. The fourth in the deck. He's a little more grumpy, but that's also due to Cluburi's frequent gullibility and ignorance.

🗺️ — Hărți. Not part of the set; but he is still collected together with the others, occasionally. He's often more distant, but that's also due to his watch over the Forecast Towers. So, it's fairly hit or miss on him.

I have a few headcanons, but the biggest one is that these five are actually robots that Kado had made. Although, other than that, most headcanons will be made along. Enjoy!

[apavfymazmff-ohg]

[kado-fortnite]

Twice now, you've taken from me.

There will not be a third.

Your pointless childish games have marked you for death, imbecile. I hope you've enjoyed sharing these useless old things of mine. It will be the last thing you do once you are found.

[king-midas-fortnite]

Throwing around insults and threatening death in the same breath as calling...whatever this is a, "useless old thing" sends an incredibly mixed message.

Seems pretty far from nothing from where I'm standing, friend.

[kado-fortnite]

Do you honestly think I care for some old blood soaked piece of paper I’ve scrawled on when I was getting my bearings?

I don’t care if it’s something that’s been fished from my trash, thieves all receive the same treatment.

I’d expect you to understand wanting retribution for what’s been taken, Midas. The difference between us is how far we’re willing to go for our desires.

Our friendly terms do not extend to you sticking your hand where it shouldn’t be. Keep your petty remarks in check.

[king-midas-fortnite]

Hm. I trust you remember that telling me to mind my place in any capacity has not gone well for anyone involved. However, I guess I'll remember something you said to me the other day, and grant you the same grace.

"You're enraged and not thinking straight, so I'll excuse your tone this time."

I do sincerely hope you get your rat problem under control soon. The last thing anyone needs is a temper tantrum from you of all people.

[kado-fortnite]

Were we on Asteria, I’d take the rest of your body as a trophy for such insolence. I’ll have your head glimmering in a display case yet.

For now, mind your place and your distance. I have far bigger things to focus on than your brain dead provocations.

I know you’d hate to see another precious thing of yours fall into my hands should you continue this.

[king-midas-fortnite]

Ha!

Who knew all it would take to completely undo our efforts in getting along would be some light probing at your frustrations? I should have guessed your collected demeanor to be as fragile as the machine you so poorly constructed.

Alas, we are not on Asteria. Regardless of location, I would love to see you Fucking Try.

[kado-fortnite]

Expect company momentarily.

[ The phone falls from his hand, unimportant as he quickly stalks up the stairs of his tower, maneuvering out of a top floor window to climb onto the roof and stand atop the gleaming shipping crate. ]

[ With a wicked snap of freshly freed tendons, Kado’s wings flex once, twice, wasting no further time before he dives from the rooftop, caring not for who may see him on his airborne war path to the yacht. ]

[ Mere minutes pass before his target is in sight, the perfectly pristine deck and the man atop it only serving to further his rage. All room for hesitation long lost, he adopts the form of a falcon diving for the kill, wings tightly tucked as he plummets, claws outstretched towards Midas. ]

A drink isn’t enough to subdue me after that.

Should anyone need me, I’ll be unavailable for the remainder of the night.

Do not attempt to find me.
