Name: Painite
Appeared Gender: Female
Appeared Age: Mid 20's
Gemstone: imgur.com/a/C0Uks , imgur.com/ADquMox
Gemstone Location: Tongue
Faction: Homeworld, Though she's trying to figure out why
Corrupted: No
Appearance: Boom: (The big red one.) Painite stands at around 7 feet tall.
Personality: Painite, at the point in time of the storyline here, is very young. She was grown and popped straight out, and was sent to work as a guard for her Kindergarden. She is often found abandoning her post, though, and off wandering. SHe gets bored being immobile or stagnant for too long without some form of entertainment or distraction, and is quite fond of running off to explore the strange planet she is trapped on. She's confident, mouthy, and snarky, and is never afraid to snap out some witty, often harsh line in order to get someone else's goat. She's flirty at times, at least with individuals who spark her interest, and can be easily excited by these sorts of people if they respond with equal vigor. She is strong, both in heart and physically. She has to be, in order to swing that big ol' hammer about!
Likes: Exploring. Earth (Ironic, right?), sparring with other Gems. At this point, she's still figuring out who she is, and what she really does like.
Dislikes: Getting reprimanded by her superiors, funny because she's always doing things to intentionally upset them.
Fears: She's relatively bold, and aside from the obvious fear of being shattered, not much really spooks her.
Weapon: A hammer. imgur.com/evfak3f It's shown in fairly good detail here, as well as the previous link to her appearance.
Ability 1: Weapon Manipulation: She can launch the head of her Hammer/Hammers off like rockets. They fly in a straight line, and has no control over them once they leave the handle of her weapon. After firing the head of the hammer off, the handle breaks up into smoke and she must summon another weapon. The explosion that results is usually about mid-sized, and are generally rather powerful. Because she has no ability to control them after they launch, they are easy to dodge unless she leads her target and often must fire at their feet. IN addition, Resizing her hammer. Painite can resize the head/handle of her hammer at will, as well as being able to form a small band around the bottom of the weapon's hilt. This allows her to latch it to her hands and often spin the weapon around like a helicopter-blade at super natural speeds. In theory it could potentially allow her some form of flight, but, it has never been attempted.
Ability 2: Durability. On the Moh's scale of hardness, Painite is an 8. Based on this, Painite should be very durable. As such, it is difficult to crack her, or to destabilize her physical form and make her poof. It isn't impossible to do so, she's just a bit tougher than the average cookie. Like, comparing a freshly baked cookie to one that's harder than treated steel because it's been sitting out for two days.
Not really, but, you get the idea.
Point being, she can take a hit, many hits, and keep on fighting! For example, in the show, we saw Pearl poofed almost instantly after being stabbed, whereas Bismuth was able to stay whole for a short while and give a little speech before poofing, Painite is able to take similar hits and stay whole and keep her form stable for extended periods of time after sustaining such damage. This does not mean she cannot be poofed. She is just able to handle her hits better, than a normal Gem wouldn't be able to take without poofing, depending on the severity of the blow, so slashes, kinetic hits, things like that. However if she is to get stabbed through the head with a sword, it will have significant effects and likely poof her. (For the purposes of RP she can take two hits that would poof her and remain stable, and she can use this ability once per thread, meaning After these two she will poof as normal. We'll say she can take one stab and keep her form, and two poofing-kinetic hits and maintain it. The one stab takes up both of the two hits.) .
History: Painite was born on Earth, one of only a handful of other Painites; one of the fewer still that formed properly and fully, and was originally an experiment due to the rarity and the difficulty that came along with growing her type of Gem, Homeworld scientists wanting to see if the ground was fertile enough to hold such Gems of hardness and strength.
It worked, to some effect, and Painite was born. She popped out and not much else was really done with her after that. The small success was celebrated, but due to a lack of good formation among some of the other Painites, the process was not repeated again. She was sent to be a guard for her Kindergarden, and remains as such to this day. She is rather poor at her job, though.
She often wanders off, wanting some excitement aside from the extremely enjoyable bunch of nothing that happens all day long, watching the same stuff constantly happen day in and day out at the Kindergarden. She was in combat a few times, fending off rebels as they tried to attack the Kindergarden, but she never really understood why she fought. She knew the reason they needed to protect the Kindergarden, because...for Homeworld! For The Diamonds! But, not much else aside from that. Young as she was, she never really bothered herself with questioning the reasoning and just did what she did when she needed to do it. In present time, she wanders Earth, unsure of what to do now that the Kindergarden has been overrun by corrupt monsters, and no transmissions from Homeworld have been received in some time. Understandably, Painite got bored and ran off to go do something that interested her. Why bother guarding something that doesn't need to be guarded anymore anyway.
There is so, so very much more to this character. I literally have a half dozen short stories, a full on novel, and dozens of little scenes written, that describe her life after Homeworld leaves Earth, how she defects, runs away, who she takes with her, all the way through to where the show is running presently. She's not directly involved in any canon happenings , due to my distaste for such things, but I digress. What I have put above is all that is needed for the purpose of the application. I am always happy to share more about her, though, just ask~!
