Skills and Abilities

Inner Flaws

At a glance they are capable of reading into one's personality and view the scars of one's soul. The outside appearance matters little to them unless acknowledged enough to leave a stain on their soul.

Alleviation

Free one of the emotional attachment to their flaws by forming it into a gemstone that they keep in their Abstraction. This does not get rid of the actual flaw, only the negative attachment to it.

Preservation

Rima is capable of preserving memories in gemstones that attribute to certain emotions. Most often these are times considered "flaws" by those that are experiencing them, however Rima thinks otherwise and treasures them very much. Occasionally they play back the memory and admire the moment with general curiosity and interest.

Personality

Neurotic at times and impulsive to match, they chase their feelings and lack purpose. They don't believe that there is a solid end or beginning, nothing is meant to be and nothing will be.

Sometimes they find themselves observing the same situations time and time again, watching what hatches. Two individuals go through the same heartbreak, they watch as the flaws come to light. One hides away, overcome by the flaws of their lives, the other prospers and overcomes the flaws themselves. Such things they find themselves observing quite nearly every day. The difference in mentality is intoxicating enough that they write notes about it. Record every flaw and keep it in their abstraction in the form of a cracked gemstone to look back on. Each one is different.

In some aspects, they believe that nothing you do matters in the grand scope of things because existence is so vast. Why try at all? Why do others try?

Story

Rima's origins are a well preserved treasure of theirs that they do not often share despite hoarding stories themselves in the form of Gemstones within their abstraction...

Early Life

Coming from a 'flawed' upbrining, Rima understands that out of every circumstance and event everyone leaves such a thing differently, adapting to it and forming flaws as a cause of it. Nothing was ever quite perfect to them, but that was always... acceptable. Rima always found things that were broken were far more interesting than those in good condition. Used toys, torn and beaten up, dirtied by their useage had an allure that never ceased to amaze them. Something damaged was something that had a story, and so, oftentimes Rima would collect such damaged goods and retain them through the years as a collection of forgotten memories. Relics of the past that they had always felt needed love and attention, that deserved not to be thrown out but to be remembered for all time as even the most damaging of events are those that are carried with us and evoke change.

Actualization

Rima themselves underwent change the more they found themselves admiring flaws. One could say that during the worst part of their lives they were at their best. Acceptance of self came easily and they soon understood who they were in truest entirety. After years of hardship, of attempting to retain broken relationships, of collecting their own mass of flawed experiences- they finally broke free of their mortal shell and discovered what was at first like an itch never quite scratched. As much as this development was enticing and in a way the perfection that they had come to dislike, whoever they were before would not be forgotten, only admired like a page in a book from their endless library of stories.

It didn't take long for Rima to discover their abilities. Such a thing was no different from what they had done pre-actualization. They travelled further than they had before, admired more hardships than they had experienced themselves and assisted in alleviating the pain of others by helping them to understand that despite all, their experiences would become the lore for which their stories progress from. There is no end nor is there a beginning. Only an endless story for which we are all a part of.

Abstraction

An endless chasm of crystals layered and formed into shelves for the storage of flawed gemstones they collect. It changes colour depending on Rima's emotions and despite it being endless they always know where to find what they're looking for.

Within the Abstraction are also branching rooms where Rima secludes themselves when overwhelmed, enjoying isolation during the lows. These rooms are formed like geodes.

Deep within the chasm is a glowing lake where Rima can be found dancing atop the water on their lonesome, a song being sung like whistling wet glass and windchimes.

Mu

When Mu first met Rima, they had a disagreement - Rima thought that Mu treated flaws as something to fix and erase, when Rima admires them as they are. Mu explained then that what they do is far from erasing them: they highlight them and accept them as part of a whole complex entity. Rima was still dubious of them at the time, telling them "you do you" and vanishing.

Some time passed before they met again, another chance meeting. At the time, Mu was mending a broken bowl lent to them by someone who cherished it, and Mu invited Rima to sit with them. They told the story of that person, making metaphors with the bowl as they slowly put the pieces back together and painted scars with gold... and eventually, there it is. Flawed and once broken as its owner once was, but now put together as a beautiful thing.

The two met again after that, developing a friendship in their admiring of flaws ways sometimes similar and sometimes different. They often wander somewhere together, or just sit somewhere nice, to converse - Mu waxing philosophical more often than not, Rima lending a good listening ear sometimes and rambling themself or taking control of the conversation at other times.
