Name: K
Contact: twistofmoirae
About you: Second character! I also play Ran Mouri from Detective Conan. I live in the U.S. on EST.

Character: Lapis Lazuli
Canon: Steven Universe (Interstellar CRAU)
Cabin and team: 8:D, which looks like an emoticon, and Blue team, which totally matches her color scheme, so convenient!

Little bit about them:
• She’s blue. Very, very blue.
• She’s a Gem – basically, the core of her self is the gem in between her shoulderblades; her physical body is a projection made of light.
• She was trapped in a mirror for thousands of years, so . . . a few issues from that.
• She once stole the ocean in an attempt to get back to her home world from Earth. It didn’t work out.
• She felt so grateful to the one who set her free from her mirror that she fused herself with another Gem and pinned them both to the bottom of the ocean to try to protect him. That didn’t work out well either.
• She was in a previous game called Interstellar, where people from other worlds were being kidnapped and brainwashed to be musicians. She went there to help rescue them. (Well, one in particular. You can probably guess who from the previous bullet point.)
• She likes fart jokes. Obviously this is the most important fact.

Personality-wise, she's quiet and wary and gets a little overwhelmed by too much at once, but she responds well to kindness and generally wants to try to return it. There's a playful, almost girlish side in there, and she wants to connect with others -- she just isn't always sure how to go about it. She's a sweetheart, really, but she has some challenges and definitely wrestles with anger and fear issues stemming from confinement and being treated as an inanimate object for thousands of years.

Hopes and dreams: Friends, please! Lapis isn't all that of an altruistic type; she needs to care about people in order to care about the world, and especially without a Steven, she otherwise has no reason to care about this world at all.

Though it probably won't happen immediately, I'd love to get her playful side unlocked more often. She also needs some hobbies; she's used to having a purpose, and downtime will be bizarre for her. I'm thinking art will be a good hobby, as she ends up trying it out in her original canon and it seems to fit, but she'll be up for trying a lot of things.

Extra - I expect Lapis to have trouble upon arrival. She was taken from Interstellar at a point where she was caught in the main antagonist's secret room, snooping for information. She was cut off from the exit and from water, and she was taken from the moment the antagonist closed in and wrapped her fingers around Lapis' neck. Add that to her ever-present latent fear and anxiety, and . . . yeah. I imagine she'll be more than a little freaked out by the situation and possibly try to fight her way out of it.

She will not want to get on the train. Unless someone manages to convince her, she will end up in the luggage car, where I may have to ask for a volunteer to find her gem rattling around in one of the trunks. It'd take her a few hours after that to regenerate her physical form.

If you survived reading all of this, you get an A+ for the night. ;)

Welcome to the blue people club, princess.

[oceantier]

Blue people are the best people!

At least she's in a room with someone with a different color. Murphy here is a roommate. I'm canon familiar at least.

I also play Yondu Udonta, too, so more for the true Blues I guess.

[oceantier]

Hi, roommate! While I think Lapis will mostly stay out of the room due to not needing to sleep, I think she's still subject to being zapped back into her bunk every night. (I'll have to check with the mods on how this works.) She'll be a little tentative about roommates, but her last ones were nice, so. Hopefully no drowning the room? XD;

Awesome on canon familiarity! <3 Lapis is from an early canon point (Chille Tid), and I spent a little more time working on the aftermath of the mirror than the show did -- plus she was in a different game -- so she came out a little differently. I'm canonblind to Murphy, but glad to wade in and have her meet him!

And yes, good on Yondu. Blue people will slowly take over.

Murphy is a traumatized male Karen that's actually funny and has been given some sort of gross powers. And oooooh, neat. I've had characters that I just *wouldn't play* from later canon points before because I couldn't stand how they were.

I love that they're all distinct types of blue, too. Hologram blue. Water gem blue. Skin blue. Like you probably wouldn't suspect them of being the same species or anything.
