IC Information

Canon: Honkai Star Rail

Character: Aventurine

Canon point: Right where patch 2.1 ends! ie. Wandering the Nihility void ™ for who knows how long!

Canon intensity: Definitely teen to adult rating, I think. There’s some pretty intense content in (Kakavasha’s) Aventurine’s backstory, none of which is graphic but very much implied. These intense things include: being branded with a serial number on his neck, being enslaved (vague on what that slavery entailed…), off screen genocide of his people (he’s likely the last survivor of the Avgin clan), fantasy racism, murder, suicidal ideation?? Yeah. Pretty intense. But he stays silly…

The game talks about these things but isn’t super graphic in showing them.

World information: Oh gosh. Ok so. Aventurine is from a very sci-fi setting (holographic screens, space ships, AI, etc.), but works with a company that gives him access to many different worlds and even galaxies. He’s essentially an intergalactic debt collector/gambler, and deals with different cultures and settings assumedly on the regular. Kinda like Star Trek but more capitalist, that’s his environment usually, lmao.

There are god-like beings called Aeons. They have varying involvement with their domains. Not much is known about them otherwise?? Like alot of them are said to have used to be mortal?? Ehhh, alot of mysteries there. But there sure are Aeons! They seem to grant power to those who walk their paths and share their ideals. Some people might walk so close they become Emenators, which is like…being granted power but MORE. Aventurine’s boss, Diamond is one of these Emanators. The IPC is constructed around the Aeon of Preservation that like. It’s this big rock god that started building a wall. We’re. Not sure what for. But some guys made a whole corporation around it, while Quipoth (Preservation Aeon) doesn’t seem to care.

Character biofacts:
Age: I’d say Aventurine is in his mid to late 20s? Let’s say like, roughly, 27 years old.

Gender: male

Species: He’s Sigonian but this doesn’t seem to differentiate him from “typical” humans.

Height: gonna put him at 5 feet even. Short (malnourished) king.

About the character: (under the read more, it got long...)

( Read more... )

Abilities: First of all, he’s a very good gambler, and probably has a lot of fun card/party tricks he can do. He’s also just exceptionally good at reading people.

I gave him some form of dark vision (60 feet) since it makes sense to me (a lot of creatures who live in the desert can see well in the dark since it’s a better time to do things at night instead of the day when the sun will cook you alive). Also pretty eyes that glow in the dark a little would probably lend into the. Rumors. About Avgin eyes. When it’s real and truly a trait adapted for survival. Also the fun of light not seeming to reflect in Aventurine’s eyes, but they DO glow with their own light in the right settings…

He walks the path of Preservation, and how that works I think is up to the player. How I see it, he has some power to harness other possibilities and outcomes. He’s been, allegedly, blessed by the Avgin Mother Goddess, Gaiathra Triclops, which I think gave him that kind of cursed luck that tends to hurt others around you. For example, being the sole survivor of an otherwise extinct clan of people. Some may call that lucky, while others, tragic.

Anyway, I think the path of Preservation helps him harness that luck and use it in numerous ways, manifesting that energy into objects that are familiar to him such as giant dice or poker chips to drop on enemies. He’s built to shield himself and his team, thus being able to turn the odds again in their favor. He can’t always win this way, but where’s the fun in winning every game anyway?

I imagine his powers get an extreme boost from the cornerstone of stratagems (a sort of?? Conduit? For a speaker for an Aeon/god??) given to him by the IPC. It’s also his namesake, Aventurine. I see it as like a battery, giving him extra power for his imaginary energy use. And now that he broke the cornerstone, and only came to the boat with a bunch of pieces of it…some fun things to come from continuing to use a broken powersource like that :)


Noteworthy items: He’s got shattered remnants of his cornerstone, maybe adding up to half of the actual gem. He also has what looks like a gold amulet on a necklace tucked under his clothes (from his mother and sister), a strip of old cloth meticulously cared for tied under his sleeve on his upper arm (his father’s shirt), and a capsule with an owl motif on it containing a note.

Some of his poker chips have trackers of sorts in them, likely technology from the IPC. Maybe like 10 of these...?

Mixed gender room ok?: Yes, that’s fine!

Player content notes/squicks: I’m a bit nervous about the Growth aligning with my parasite squick. Is it possible to opt out of being infected until I get more of a grasp on how it works? I think I’ll be fine interacting with other characters affected by this, but being affected personally is a bit scary right now. I promise not to abuse possible immunity?

Anything else: Ummm I like hurt/comfort alot and the horror of this setting is super cool! If y’all have other Bad Time ideas in mind for my little guy here, I’d be more than happy to discuss them! :) Like how the shattered cornerstone might affect him (got some plans on that) or being particularly receptive to the Whispers due to being. Very close with death. I’m down for that!

Oh I also really love Dungeons and Dragons, and…like to make character sheets for characters. I made one for Aventurine that I roll some choices on if I can’t decide! The chance of it seems fitting for Aventurine, and it leads to some fun ideas in my opinion. Super nerdy, but it is something I loosely go off of sometimes if that’s alright!

I also wanted to point out that I am aro/ace, and will likely be bringing that kind of flavor to playing Aventurine. He will be flirty with some people sometimes, but it’ll be less of an interest in romance and more just to mess with people or butter them up. I am very interested in exploring friendships with other characters through Aventurine, however! Especially since his concept of friendship is so…messy. I look forward to challenging that for him. :)

His test drive interactions with Sparkle have been interesting lol.

Short, but this test drive thread with Mario is really cute…
