RP for two for @healingn0tes

“U-um...if it’s okay with you...may I also use your bathroom if you have one. I’d like to at least get myself cleaned before putting anything new on. And..since you’re helping me...I should introduce myself.”

The gem stepped more into the light where they revealed more male-like facial features, a more built body that took up his robes. “My name is Kryst...and well, thank you for your generosity...”

[Commissioned by @justicegundam82. Frankly, the image for the kryst reminds me of the baby kidney stones in Awful Hospital.]

Kryst This cluster of twelve golden crystals radiates outward from a central point. It rolls along the ground, making great speed despite the unevenness of this movement.

Krysts are a race of genial elemental creatures native to the Plane of Earth. Krysts cannot glide through earth and stone as many elemental creatures can do, which forces them to stick to relatively open spaces. They have their own societies, carving small cubicles into stone walls and crevasses, but are often found among other creatures of earth. They frequently act as go-betweens and diplomats for shaitans, xorns, and earth elementals. They cannot speak, instead communicating telepathically. If telepathic communication is distrusted or feared by a party with which they are conversing, they will use their own body as a stylus, scratching their messages into stone tablets.

Few krysts are violent by nature, but they do not hesitate to fight to protect those weaker than themselves. They ram enemies with their bodies, spinning and turning to strike multiple times in a round. Strong winds erode their bodies rapidly, and as such krysts are distrustful of air elementals and those with access to air magic.

The core of a kryst is about three feet in diameter, but their largest crystals can extend another three feet.

Any round it is in an area of strong or stronger winds, it takes 2d6 points of damage, plus an additional 2d6 for each level the wind is more intense than strong. It gets no save against this damage. If a wind effect ordinarily deals damage (like the air blast of a kineticist), it takes 150% damage from this effect.
