Kin Diety is a member of The Afterparty in the campaign The Psion's Night. A powerful psionic tiefling from deep into the apocalyptic future, he disguises himself as one of the most fearsome swordsmen the world has ever known. Entirely dedicated to the eradication of the apocalypse that the world has been plunged into, he's traveled through time from the final moments of the universe, lending his ability to a group of heroes that has formed at a key moment. His fellow party members seem to recognize him from elsewhere however...

## History

Born several years after the apocalypse had begun, Kin grew up in a world ravaged by unlivable conditions, psionic monstrosities, and death as a consistent factor. He had never known his parents or their fates, and most people who had raised him ended up falling to any number of things the apocalypse threw at them. Yet Kin had always managed to survive, thanks to his adept psionic abilities. However, psychics had become very feared and distrusted in this time as a result of this, leaving Kin almost destined to be outcasted. This was until, he'd begun to learn about swordsmanship and heroes from the days of yore. He constructed a facade of him being the best swordsman alive, creating illusions of himself to slash down any threats he'd come across. Powerful he was though, it seems that any chance to revert the world's doomed fate had been lost. However, Kin had eventually met a woman by the name of Lavender, who knew of a way to return Kin to a key moment in history, and potentially change history to allow the world another chance.

## The Psion's Night

### *"Rest knowing you won't have to endure this future... I promise."*

Kin and Lavender had been racing against time. The two fought vigorously for everything they'd needed for the ritual needed to send Kin back in time, and as they did so the world seemed to be reaching its final moments. With their final preparations complete only mere moments before the world was snuffed out, the two had reached a point where the ritual could be conducted, the world being consumed around them. With help from Lavender granting him enough time, Kin was able to slip a wormhole open, and find himself falling through the bounding connections of time and space, as Lavender is overwhelmed and destroyed. While regretful, Kin assured that Lavender wouldn't have to endure this future, nor would anyone else. He simply needed to succeed in his own mission. As he fell to the past, Kin found himself halted, and confronted by a sharp otherworldly figure, difficult to directly look at, and masked in what seemed to be aviator sunglasses. The figure's words spoke of Kin as confused, unknowing of his place, and seeking answers he is not yet willing to accept. Kin, assured in himself and the idea of anyone of notable power would have already solved this crisis, spoke hostilely to the figure, seeming to brush off their words as nonsensical. The figure departed from Kin, speaking of observing what is to come, despite already knowing the answers Kin seeks. But moments later, Kin finds himself rocketing out of a portal in time, colliding into Blarg Deaff and interrupting a ritual of Kinsley Faelynn. As Blarg and Aisu Kurimu seemed to immediately recognize him by a name he was not familiar with, the tiefling could only look upon the world he'd arrive into and speak to himself.

## Relationships

### Vivian Estrella

Knowing Vivian only by her future alias Lavender, Kin held a high respect for Lavender as someone willing to give everything to give a last chance to the world. While the two's relationship was one strictly one of business and ensuring the world was saved, Lavender had still ended up being the closest person Kin had gotten to in his life. Regretful of leaving Lavender to perish with the world, he is still absolutely determined to ensure her and everyone else's future would be one they wouldn't have to endure. Arriving in the part however, he quickly encountered Vivian in the present day. While Kin does not recognize Vivian immediately as Lavender, he can't help but make the connection. Vivian however, notices Kin's striking resemblance to her old companion Oesis, who appears to be an alternate version of himself. With the strange connections both have to each other, it's unclear what their relationship might come to resemble, especially if Kin were to discover Vivian's role in kickstarting this apocalypse.

## Powers

Kin's powerset comes from his latent psychic abilities forcefully amplified from being raised in and surviving the end times of The Psion's Night. The power of his mind makes him capable of distorting and slicing apart space, dominating minds and forcing them to shut off completely, and altering reality to his liking, even creating matter from nothing. However, Kin seems to guise the nature of his abilities as a result of people fearing psions, and wishing to present himself as a hero. He utilizes a staff that takes on the illusionary appearance of a blade, and with so is able to take on the appearance of a masterful swordsman, utilizing dreamlike replicas of himself to cut down foes at blinding speeds. While willing to show his psionic nature to a degree, he seems self conscious of keeping the illusion of a swordsman, to emulate what Kin believes to be the ideal hero. Perhaps Kin's most interesting trait however, is his fierce willpower and ego. While Kin's physical state is somewhat unstable, his mental fortitude is near unshakable, as Kin has adapted to refuse to allow anyone to directly interfere with his mind. This does not however mean he is incorruptible, as he is quite susceptible to being socially manipulated

## Trivia

* Kin is the third of the Dietiy Trio, being the same person as Psych and Oesis but born in drastically different circumstances. In Kin's case, being born in a post apocalyptic wasteland has made him a much more immediately formidable combatant, but having little to no social interaction makes him difficult to converse with.
