Kit and Mortar

**Debut** | TBA

**Kit and Mortar** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Purramic from the planet Ohneeonzetafelhijiskapot.

## Appearance

Kit and Mortar is a stocky cat-like alien made out of a segmented ginger red and dark brown brick-like material, with jagged beige stripes across the top of his head and his back, along with beige inner-ears, a smooth underbelly, four toes on each foot, and a rounded cone-shaped tail.

Kit and Mortar wears the Simplicitrix within his eyes, with one half of the symbol visible through each one.

## Powers

* Kit and Mortar can secrete and manipulate mortar, the workable paste used to bind together and seal in the irregular gaps between building blocks, including stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units, allowing him to create a very strong glue for the applications of restraining opponents and assisting in construction. As Kit and Mortar's body fluids shares its adhesive preporties, should he suffer damage, he can temporarily mend himself back together through filling in his wounds with mortar.
* Kit and Mortar can transmute whatever he bites into block-shaped cubes, including solid objects, such as vehicles and people, but also liquids, gases, and even pure energy, in which they'll be automatically compressed into a constituency as hard as stone. Kit and Mortar can selectively choose whenever he divides something into multiple smaller cubes, painlessly breaking them down, or forcefully presses into the shape of a larger one. While normally used for confinement purposes, through his mortar secretion, Kit and Mortar can assemble his cubes together into basic constructs and buildings.
	+ Kit and Mortar's block transmutation can disrupt the block-based shapeshifting of Segmentasapiens through forcefully subdividing them into smaller components once he manages to bite them.
* Kit and Mortar's organic brick skin grants him enhanced durability, endurance, and a natural resistance towards higher temperatures, all of which he can enhance even further through automatically hardening himself into an even tougher constituency through strengthening the bonds between his segmented bricks, further amplifying his resilience and temperature resistance at the cost of most of his agility.

## Weaknesses

* Kit and Mortar's body has the preporties of organic brick, which generally has a low strength that leaves him vulnerable towards too much stress and weight, similar to Concretin, but can also be shattered apart through strong enough earthquakes. Although his brick-like physiology can also absorb excessive water that they can slow him down as a result, he can forcefully exude back it out through secreting his mortar.
* Kit and Mortar's block transmutation can only be triggered through clamping his fangs down onto something, meaning if his mouth is restrained open or shut, he cannot activate it.
* Mentioned above, Kit and Mortar's body hardening increases his durability, endurance, and thermal resistance in exchange for most if not all of his speed.

## Etymology

* Kit and Mortar's name is a play on "kit," as in kitten, and "brick and mortar," referring to his abilities.
* Kit and Mortar's species name is a play on "purr," as in cat purring, and "ceramic."

## Trivia

* Kit and Mortar's design was made using one of Nyancy Chan's cats from *Omniverse*.
* Kit and Mortar comes from the same planet as Glass Kitten.
	+ Kit and Mortar was suggested by Blake to go alongside Glass Kitten's species name referencing the 2016 viral video of that kid stacking towers of bricks oton a glass table and being incredibly shocked once the obvious outcome actually happens.
