Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Origins

-KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK- "Spades? Spaaades? Are you awake yet?" came a familiar voice, but still in the debts of a deep, not quite slumber, The young card Kingdome warrior could not quite place the voice. Odd that someone in this dream was knocking on something? She was in a magical forest of marshmallow trees and chocolate rivers having a tea party with talking unicorns. What was there to possible knock on?

-KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK- PIC ANNIE CARD, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LATE YOU ARE!?!

The use of her full proper name, and the familiar phrase paired with the familiar voice woke her up with a jolt. She leaped up from laying position to stand on her bead in a battle ready position, pillow brandished as the deadliest weapon her fingers could find. She still didn't fully comprehend what was going on, but she knew that voice for sure.

With a click and clack, the door of her room swung open and the white rabbit stood in it.

"I swear girl! I and the others raised you better than this. You are late again, and me stopping to make sure your lazy bones actually got out of bed this morning has made ME late. Now get dressed and find the prince before the queen notices you aren't by his side and has you beheaded."

The girl blinked at the rabbit who, now certain that she was at least awake scurried off in a white streak of meaningful haste. It took her a couple more seconds to kick her still awakening brain into gear and but all the information into a picture she could understand. She....her eyes drifted over the room, finally landing on her half smashed alarm clock...was REALLY LATE!

"Oh fold me!" she swore, a favorite of hers she learned from a particularly foal mouthed card-guard. She began zipping about the room quickly dressing for the day and doing her morning routine as if in fast forward. Soon the blue-black haired girl was running through the halls of the castle, dressed in her black and red dress decorated with all manner of card suits, one hand clutching desperately at the top hat upon her head.

"PRINCE!!!" she yelled out, desperate to find her charge before she got her self beheaded...or worst demoted! As much as she didn't mind cleaning and stuff, she did prefer to only have to worry about keeping the princes things in order, not the entire chaotic castle. She caught the sound of the prince giving orders and quickly made her way in that direction, thanking the stars above for the royals big mouth. She skid to breathless stop next to the prince, panting and wheezing but holding a crocked smile on her face.

"Thank goodness I found you My Lord, I ran half the castle attempting to locate . You should really try and remember to tell me what you plan to do in the morning. How can I gaurd ya if don't know where you are?" she said attempting to play it off as if she hadn't slept in, and probable slept through HIM trying to get her up as well. She then took notice of the strange duck "You're to short to be Howard.. My lord who is..." she mumbled before her eyes noted the paper in the princes hands "OH! Mail Sir? How interesting, we don't often get missives at the castle. What news?"

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

While I have put up a quick reply I wish to point out to [@clanjo] that they seem to have misinterpreted Kafka's last post? He did not attack, merely stood firm with the others and brandished his weapon. But meh, how ever ya'll want to play the scene out is fine with me.

-----EDDIT-----

Um, Clanjo, the gems are bubbled still right? As in the same kind of bubble that Steven used to survive the crash of a giant space ship and its subsequent explosion? I personally don't think A low level sonic attack that was basically a load gust of wind would harm them much.

But perhaps that is best left to the GM to decide. @LokiLeo789, what is your call?

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Balas growled in frustration as her reason failed to reach Halite, she let her Ax free as the massive gem resumed his rampage and dived to the side, making rather sure she was between Halite and the other, and most importantly the Massive red-crystal heart of the sanctuary. As she did the vibration from Balas's hand seemed to rapidly shiver up her arm and into her throat. When Balas ruby opened her mouth seconds later, she didn't yell, cry, or scream. She roared. It was a deep rumbling sound that was more akin to the cacophony of an avalanche than any sort of noise to come from a living creature. The sound leaving her mouth was visible cone of force, shimmering in the air and tinted a faint reddish color. This was not her most focused sonic attack, but she wasn't truly attacking now, she was defending. the cone contacted the oncoming hail of gems and the faltered like a swimmer against the current of a powerful river. Soon the lost all momentum, and Balas sensed her bellowing. The kunai clatered to the ground and the bubbled Gems drifted in their new places.

"If you truly believe that is a fair trade, without even stepping outside to see where this base is located, then you never cared about this world, or any of the life on it." Balas said in a deeply cold voice, far different from the commanding if reasonable tone she was using before "Halite, you are a hypocrite and a traitor to your own beliefs. There is no gem in this room more dangerous and worthy destruction than you. I give you one final chance. If you will not work with us, take this new life you were given out of kindness and hope of another who wants to save this world, and leave." This time both her hands shimmered with the vibrations of her gathering power, and there was a similar shimmering glow about her throat, and the bone deep rumble that emanated from her body this time could be felt in the ground, the discarded weapons on the floor rattling with its vibrations. She spoke again, her voice coming out with an odd wavering quality. "Don't think I'll simply defend again, Halite, forgiveness is not truly in my nature."

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Name
Balas Ruby

Appearance:

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Some see her as a 'mother bear' type, and it is easy to see why. She enjoys being active and productive, it is rare to find Balas simply 'doing nothing' when she can be doing something useful or giving aid to another. She has a hands-on nature that make her seems to have a bit of an 'warrior of old' kind of persona. Often laughing and smiling, even in the heat of battle, and does not shy from combat. But when the going gets rough and the danger truly significant, Balas's energetic smile will fade away and she will demonstrate a very focused, deadly serious nature, revealing a much more no-nonsense side of her more similar to a battle commander. She does not tolerate serious threats to her allies lightly and will be the last willing to leave a fight to ensure other have a full chance to retreat.

Bio:
Balas Ruby is a very old 'foot soldier' gem, even by many gem standards. So much so that those of the same type as her are no longer called balas ruby but 'Rose Spinel'. Long and faithfully she had been a warrior of the home world, for countless millennia she lived on the Gem's front lines until the stood as a dominate and rarely challenged force in their part of the universe. From there she had been reassigned to security detail on Kindergarten projects. She didn't only think that working as a guard was a waste of her abilities but she didn't like the results of the Kindergarten program. She always had half a mind to do something about it but she was but a single warrior, not a leader or strategist, and didn't believe she was able to convince others to follower her lead. But lucky for her, someone else came along. Rose Quarts.

She gladly joined the crystal gems in defense of this planet, and fought fiercely on their behalf of the crystal gems until, and she can't quite remember how, she was corrupted and became a horrible worm monster, as adult steven explained to her after she had been restored. She was pleased to once more give her skills in service to the earth and the crystal gems.

Well, here's my take on her! I made some minor changes for both aesthetic and practical reasons, but kept the color palette and most of the major elements of her outfit. My paypal email address is [e-mail], and I guess the price is $25.

@Pietra

AHHH I LOVE HER

Hehehe, she came out more roller derby than bicker chick, but honestly I could totally see Balas rocking a look like this. It is a lovely rendition, thank you very much.

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Balas was...surprised to be awake honestly. She had sort of thought she had died, and had been oddly at piece with that notion. She was a very old, even by the nearly eternal standards of the Gems, an a career warrior at that, few of her class were around for as long as she had been, most being undone in the glory and heat of battle. It was a fate she had always expected for herself, heck it was a fate she thought she had fallen to. The war between the crystal gems and the homeworld was a desperate one, they were outnumbered significantly, and only through the fierce determination of the Crystal gems and the clever and wise guidance of their leader had they even the semblance of hope. It would have been no surprise for her if unmaking had been her destiny in the corse of that war....But it turns out she had been corrupted, though the memory escaped her grasp, and had been on earth as some giant worm monster. Weird right?

And now, though the power of Rose's child, ( she was still grasping at the comprehension that a gem had a CHILD at all ), she was brought forth to battle once more. She couldn't say she was displeased by this to be honest, she had always loved fighting and even more fighting in a cause she believed in. Earth was one such cause, and to be able to lend her strength to the crystal gems and once more light a warm fire in her heart.

But a quick and sudden shade was brought on the glorious reunion with existence and purpose, when the largest member of the group struck out at another gem and was nearly frothing with rage. Tension hummed thick in the air as they group seemed to prepare for battle. She recognized the potential for disaster quickly , and fell back into her

"ENOUGH" she said suddenly and sharply, in a voice that seemed impossible loud and clear for one so small. She stepped between the giant and the other gems. She had summoned her great bearded ax, and had hooked it around the shaft of the hammer and held it still, though it took all her strength to manage such a thing and she was rather sure that Halite wasn't really focusing his strength at the moment. "Do you all not recognize where we are? We are in the heart of a base. If something in here got damaged the resulting destruction could kill us all." she shot a swift glance to Halite "As well as any living thing for miles around."

She turned and faced Halite squarely "I know better than anyone the sins of the gems. You not the only expendable weapon in this room berserker, but fighting and raging in here risks more than pride and life. So either apologize and agree help us or leave peaceably." she spoke in a calm serious voice. but as soon as she had begun to address Halite her right fist, her free hand, had closed tightly and the air about it shimmered as it was vibrating dangerously. from the clenched fist emanated a vibration so deep and intense that it couldn't be heard so much as felt. "Or, if you can't contain your rage, we can take this outside and I can end your rage for you."

RWBY RP (custom AU)

No worries, I am not the brown nosing sort.

I must mention that, after going through the list of accept characters, I feel quite dismayed, as they each seem to have at least one thing too similar to my go-to OCs to make me feel comfortable using them as they are. I'll either have to make minor tweaks to my already existing characters or build up a new one from scratch.

Ah well, these things do happen.

RWBY RP (custom AU)

Count me in! I am so very ready to be lighting!

Now i'll be straying from this intrest check and into the OOC of ancient wonder

Garnet also does it in during the very beging of Warp Tour for further evidence that isn't steven making shit up lol
