RULES && GUIDELINES
▶ This is an Independent Roleplay Blog for the character Kevin Kaslana from the game Honkai Impact 3rd. Canon-compliant with headcanons.
▶ My portrayal of Kevin is of a person who chose to protect his gentleness by burying it under layers of cold exterior. He is someone who has heaps of bottled up emotions and violence that never had an outlet. He loves his dear ones deeply. My Kevin has feelings and thinks a lot while saying " ...... " most of the time.
▶ NOT SPOILER-FREE. NOT TAGGING SPOILERS.
▶ tracking #kohouri || Polish, English
▶ Mun and Muse are of age ( both 21↑ ). Mun can be referred to as EGO ( she / her ).
▶ Mun =/= Muse. What Kevin says is not what EGO thinks and vice versa.
▶ I’m open to writing almost any topic and willing to roleplay with anyone ( OCs, cross-overs, etc. ) but interacting only with mutuals. Any topic =/= every topic. Anyone =/= everyone.
▶ In case of Canon Characters, I will roleplay with only one version of a Muse, but I don’t expect the same in return. I will have mains and interactions with them will be prioritized. If I follow you and / or follow-back, I’m interested in interaction.
▶ I won’t interact with Kevin doubles IC or OOC for my own convenience and comfort ( multimuse blogs included ). I block doubles on sight. No hard feelings. I don’t mind interacting with people who already write with a Kevin. That's cool.
▶ I don’t write starters for new followers or do starter calls. If you want to interact, feel free to check my #[ ask meme ] tag and send a sentence starter ( please mention the meme title ). All asks can be turned into threads if possible.
▶ Triggers are tagged as #tw #trigger name ( e.g. #tw #blood ). Suggestive content is tagged as #[ suggestive ] #tw #suggestive tw. Not Safe For Work material is tagged as #[ nsfw ] #tw #nsfw tw. I don’t have triggers myself.
▶▶ Images are tagged for triggers. Text is tagged only if explicit. Both images and text are tagged for Suggestive content and / or explicit NSFW.
▶▶ Content that might appear ( directly, mentioned and / or implied ): human experimentation, self-harm, suicide, body horror, violence, gore, death, apocalypse / doomsday, religion ( real-life and / or fictional ), religious themes and comparisons to such ( real-life and / or fictional ), trauma, mental illness, in vitro, child abandonment, unwanted parenthood, genetic mutation / alien physiology, dark humour, dehumanisation.
▶ Adaptive, selective, and very slow with replies. I drop threads when I feel like it, no hard feelings. If you lose interest in a thread, feel free to drop it, no need to tell me.
▶ Shipping only with chemistry. Open to one-sided romantic feelings ( plotted or chemistry(?) ). Open to plotted relationships ( including antagonistic ).
▶ Multi-verse. See NAVI. section at the top for the AUs ( temporary list: genshin, HSR, path to nowhere, golden courtyard / modern ). Note that Genshin and HSR AUs are extensions of HI3 main story rather than proper AUs ( but I also have a separate shiraga oni / hakuhatsu ki AU for HSR friends ). This means that the Kevin who comes to Teyvat or boards the Astral Express is the same person as the Kevin who fought in the CE battle above the Moon.
OOC. termi and kevin coexist in the HSR side of the IMG tree despite termi ascending from that same kevin ( and that same termi is the one that kevin took over... but that's for another time ).
termi's problem is just that THEY've already been so saturated with aeonhood THEY don't remember THEIR human time anymore. or rather, the path completely detached THEM from who THEY originally were. so, kevin doesn't really evoke any emotions in THEM.
as for kevin, he's aware of variants and already used to seeing them across the HSRverse like acheron. seeing that the aeon of finality['s projection] is vaguely *sneeze* similar to him is just another tuesday. an absolutely normal occurrence.
OOC. i know dolly clicked with isee instantly and i know while she appreciated that others liked her music, nobody could understand the nuances like isee did.
OOC. kevin in HSRverse who's torn between ascending to aeonhood out of spite AND just travelling across the cosmos handing out flayers that say 'HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN [yellowed picture of MEI]'
Why THEY chose to work such a mundane occupation, even Ren wasn't sure. All the centuries he'd been alive, and he'd never really possessed that compulsion. Maybe he was one to talk; compared to Terminus who would be billions of years old (if in the negatives) by now, Ren was barely a blip in the cosmic stream of time. No matter how unnaturally his lifespan had been prolonged, nothing could compel him to take up some ordinary job to wile away the hours. The burdens of long life were strenuous enough to add a stressful, front-facing job on top of it all. But, considering how old THEY were, he supposed he could understand the curiosity that might arise from such an odd interest. Still, that was THEIR prerogative. He was more interested in what came after, really.
"Oh? My, my, I never took YOU for a romantic. Maybe that's a bit of the Beauty's influence, hm?" Ren purred into the shell of THEIR ear.
Ah, but he could be well-behaved for now. As much as he adored THEIR prickly facade, it really was a bit too public, even for his tastes. Smiling crookedly, he began to lead them through Duomension City's backstreets and alleyways crammed with boutiques and little eateries more common among the true residents of the city that lived past the IPC-fueled, glittering exterior where the tourists rarely ventured. Glancing over at his companion, it was when they came to a small plaza that he stopped, considering the other.
"Well? In the mood for some after-work ramen, maybe?"
Would Ren believe that 'convenience store clerk' was the occupation on the character profile THEY received from Aha after coming to Planarcadia? "Milky" might be the unreachable imagenated ideal of feline beauty but he is also relatable: a humble kitten living in a small but cozy flat who's diligently working a stable but monotonous 9-to-5, one day miraculously scores a date in a dynamic that could spark a blaze of inspiration in a thousand doujin creators... Besides, "Milky" liked working at Infinity-Eleven. The "guardian beast" at the entrance was nice. The cat manager was nice. The cat coworkers were nice. The cat customers were nice. The human customers were too preoccupied by "his" beauty to not be nice.
Ren's hot breath in "his" cold ear made THEM shudder. Of all the things THEY can predict, why is it never Ren's stupid advances?! Bigger ears meant more area for the swordsman's bullshit to be heard but the only spark Ren kindled was an annoying fit of tickles... "Milky" was so absorbed trying to rub it off, "he" didn't even notice when Ren led "him" away, passing by countless shops and stands. Only when hearing the magical keyword, THEY perked up. Even that deadpan expression couldn't dim the little gleam in THEIR eyes.
Even though "Milky" was - according to "Aha's Script" - a sweet-tooth that survived on sugared milk foam and whipped cream, a fresh steaming broth poured over a swirl of meters-long hand-pulled noodles accompanied by a generous serving of meat and an egg or maybe two or even three... With eyes closed, mouth a little ajar and hands put together, the milk-foam-only "Milky's" tail was happily swaying at those delicious images surfacing in THEIR mind.
Yes, "he" was in the mood for some after-work ramen very, very much, and very now too.
"Mmh, not there though, " THEIR eyes snapped open and an arm shot to the side, finger pointing to the small stand already occupied by a certain Detective, his Monkey, and a third hooded figure that made for a somewhat nostalgic yet uncanny sight.
"What's your budget?" THEIR eyes met Ren's. "Already burnt through the last bounty you got for Silver Wolf or are you finally getting allowance from Elio? And before you ask, "I'm" broke. "My" coin purse is full of wispae."
OOC. if i understood 4.3 PV correctly, apparently everyone thought that 'world's end' is literal in reference to the tavern? i always thought it's just a joke for funsies since it's the fool's gathering place... and we also got a candidate for a literal end[point] of a world.
OOC. even if kevin wasn't plagued by the herrscher authority rejection, he still wouldn't have a chance at becoming a herrscher of finality bcs to become one, one needs to face their past and embrace it. because kevin never moved on from his past. he never 'just-left-it-behind' and started anew. when 'the past' has been 'erased' by the cocoon, he is the past that others have to face and move on from. he has no future. he doesn't want to have a future. he just wants to stay behind and return to his loved ones. that's all he wants: complete his mission and return home.
pearl isn't the 'pebble'. pearl is 'a tenth'. the 'pebble' is diamond, the emanator of preservation. pearl, as a stoneheart, possesses a tenth of his authority.
evanescia isn't the 'wood'. she's 'a piece'. she is whatever she is of whatever bigger and scarier being she came from(<= i hate how they explained it without explaining anything).
yao guang isn't a 'warlord'. she's called a common soldier, a generic military personnel ( at least in JP dub ).
in short, the names should be aligned to the middle of the phrases bcs like this it gives a wrong idea abt who pearl and evanescia are supposed to be. yao guang, well, poor wording.
