“L O V E is strong, it D R I V E us to do sometimes bad things.” Cosima replied to her honest portray of what that W O R D could do to any living thing. Although Ametrine D I D wonder why this E A R T H ? How can no other planet be loved such as this one? “I ‘ V E heard wonders off world did you B E T R A Y your home planet?”
talking about her PLANET OF ORIGIN always lead to this, to questions about WHY someone who SO obviously loved their planet left. talking about her EXILE was painful and it BROUGHT on an ONSET of memories that she’s tried hard to BLOCK out, ❛ i was forced out. there was a war, there still is ONE. earth is the SAFEST place for me. ❜
“Y O U ‘ R E different yes? I L I V E on this planet for such a long time that this has become first hand for me.” Ametrine was honest, although much curious about this girl and W H Y she wished to be on earth. “E V E R Y star has it’s own galaxyY O U chose this place, why?”
kori wasn’t ENTIRELY sure how to respond to the question. her INTIAL arrival on earth hadn’t BEEN voluntary. the starfire had crashed onto earth and, ALTHOUGH kori had the opportunity to LEAVE many times, she had CHOSEN to stay. partly because she wasn’t SURE if she had anywhere else to GO and partly because she’d FALLEN in love with the planet, ❛ there are many reasons. partly because i’ve COME to love earth. ❜
kori knew that something about her MANNERISMS was distinctly DIFFERENT from the way most CITIZENS on earth acted but she had never MET anyone that detected her foreign NATURE so quickly. it was unusual but the girl seemed KIND so she didn’t necessarily MIND.
❛ i am NOT! i come from a PLANET called tamaran. ❜
it was a FACT that kori herself had learned ( albeit not in the most PLEASANT way ) over the course of her LIFE. everything was prone to destructionCHANGE and it was BETTER to appreciate something in the moment rather than REGRET the loss in the future, ❛ change is a WONDERFUL thing, is it not? ❜
“Y O U ‘ R E on the right track.” Conner happily stated, although his face remain stern, as if he was being scolded by Superman himself. His own tone gave away at how much he was onboard with the idea. Probably something he should try to work with at his own time.
Tilting his head he crossed his arms, smiling brightly. “Let’s F I N D some trouble first.”
kori’s face lit up once AGAIN, excited by the prospect of proving herself. everyone had been treating her so delicately, perhaps because her optimistic disposition didn’t EXACTLY scream warrior, perhaps because of her ALIEN origins, but, nonetheless, she wanted to prove herself and this was the perfect chance.
❛ come on, ❜ she began FLYING towards the door, glancing over her shoulder at him, ❛ we should be able to find some distress very soon! ❜
“I J U S T want to be treated equal from myF A T H E R.” Conner trailed off, awkwardly coughing as there wasn’t much he could add to that statement. Guess it’s hard to explain by Superman isn’t so fond of Superboy. He smile bright towards the redhead nodding.
As he kept to himself for awhile it took a moment before he started to speak again. “M A Y B E we could do something? Get everyone attention?”
kori was not mischievous by nature but she LIKED his idea. she had been overlooked for so long and she was SURE that he felt the same. as long as they didn’t do anything that resulted in too much damage, she didn’t why they shouldn’t give the IDEA a go.
❝ we should prove to the OTHERS that we can handle ourselves. ❞
Nightwing couldn’t help but to B U R S T out laughing when he didn’t expect Starfire to go on a rant about Beast Boy. The black haired man didn’t even need to fully imagine how that could have gone down. In fact, he wouldn’t be surprise if B E A S T Boy went deaf for a weak, along with some B A T T L E scars, which Dick was sure that is what his teammate would have called it.
As Dick rest his head up against the wall of the cable car, he could most certainly feel the vibrations. “Glad to hear it Kori.”
the alien LEANED against the wall of the car, laying her legs across the free space of the seat she was occupying. kori tried making herself comfortable, something told her that this JOURNEY was going to be a lengthy one.
❝ you should get some SLEEPit is probably going to be a long time before we reach our destination.. ❞
“You’re T E L L I N G me.” Conner replied to the other, listening to her talk. In fact, sure he was F E D a lot of information, however he still didn’t understand why things work like it did on earth. He wasn’t much for talking, but he didn’t mind to L I S T E N to others talk.
Superboy shrugged a bit as he continued. “Or people are A F R A I D to give you responsibilities.”
that was the kind of FEELING that kori had about the situation. everyone was hesitant to give her anything to do PERHAPS because she was an alien. regardless of the REASON, it was still frustrating. she wanted to do something, wanted to feel USEFUL. free time was great but she was tired of seeing PEOPLE constantly risking their lives, tired of sitting back and watching other people risk their lives when she knew that she could be out there, HELPING them.
❛ your honesty is refreshing. perhaps that is why? i do want some responsibility. i want to help. ❜
“Not a whole lot of C L U E S, if so this covert mission would be going by faster.” He shrugged, he didn’t really catch on to see how much Starfire was blinded by everyone and everything. It almost made him laugh. Dick became nose blind in a sense, to everything. All of this was second-hand nature to himself, nothing new. Besides some few acts here and there but the main gist was the S A M E.
Dick was brought back from his thoughts as the eager Kori kept him on his toes. “Hey! W-Wait up.” He rubbed the back of his neck as he walked over to the cable car. And it was great news to see they would be alone for the ride, trying to covertly talk to Kori with all these new things might be a tad bit distracting.
“Don’t we have enough of Beast Boy?” Dick try to make a joke but he was sure Kori was going to dismiss that. It wasn’t long until he climbed up into the cable car, exhaling. “We can look for a bit, but we can’t forget our mission.”
❝ but i would like to see an animal that STAYS an animal and doesn’t just turn back into a human and then eat the last of my peanut butter-and-mayonaise pudding, ❞ kori said, somewhat MIFFED at their green COMRADE for eating the rest of her food. she couldn’t help it, pb&m (as she’d gracefully dubbed it) was one of her favorite foods and finding the last of it GONE had certainly irritated her.
her attention, again, went to dick at the MENTION of the case, once again examining him in case of any EXTERNAL signs that he needed to talk. she was sure that this wasn’t easy for him and was determined, for his sake, to finish this MISSION off well. she would catch the thief and help REESTABLISH the reputation of his former home. she owed him that.
❝ i will not forget our mission! ❞ kori declared proudly, nodding with DETERMINATION and offering him a small smile, ❝ as SOON as we arrive, i will go and search for some clues. there are bound to be some. ❞
❝ i do not UNDERSTAND the youth of this earth, ❞ kori answered, swinging and kicking her legs off of the side of the building that she was lounging on, ❝ back home, i had many RESPONSIBLITIES but here they do not seem to have very MANYgranted, tamaran was in a war but i still do not comprehend the gap between i and them. ❞
1. This kind of goes without saying but don't godmod. 2. Mun does not equal muse. Kori and I are two very different people. Similarly, what happens between our muses is not what's going on between the muns. If our muses are dating, I am not committed to you. If our muses are fighting, I am not angry with you. This might sound unnessecary but I've run into some pretty awkward situations with this before and I'd really rather not deal with it again. Please seperate mun and muse. 3. If you want to rp with me, send me a message, send me a meme, throw a random starter my way. I love them and I will actually be so happy if you do. 4. To keep my dashboard clear, I am selective and private. If you use 100x100 icons and small text, you'll be fine. Private means that I won't rp with mutuals. Sometimes though (usually memes), I'll specify whether it's open to mutuals and nonmutuals but that's very rarely. 5. I am open to having exclusives but I do have some rules about this. I won't go exclusive with anyone in the DC Fandom (be it DCAU, DCEU, PN52, N52, Rebirth), anyone else is game. I do ask that I know the mun fairly well ooc. I am currently exclusive with caducxus 6. I won't tolerate any bullying. At all. 7. All icons are made by me. Please don't steal them because I will find out and I will message you about it. 8. Skype and discord are avaliable to mutuals. 9. I'm 18+ so NSFW will happen. Smut will only happen if I'm comfortable with the mun and if it makes sense (i.e. the situation leads up to it). 10. I have a bunch of verses (definitely check out my verses page!) but my default verse will be new 52. Unless we specify that our thread or interaction will be taking place in another verse (or if you're character is exclusive to only the DCAU, DCEU, etc), it will be set in the new 52 one. 11. I will goof up. I will forget that something happened or mention something before the New 52, just tell me nicely and I'll change it. 12. Have fun and stay positive! Good vibes only, friends.
Koriand’r was born on Tamaran,a peaceful planet of former warriors to the ruling king and queen. Her older sister, Komand’r was set to become queen of Tamaran, a fact that both sister’s never really contemplated very much.
Kori was happy on Tamaran. It was a planet full of peace and, seeing as she wasn’t the heir, she had a lot of freedom (Freedom that she definitely took advantage of). She was close to her family, particularly so to her older sister. Life was good on her home planet but then the Citadel, another race of aliens, stuck.
Her once beautiful, peaceful planet was riddled with invaders. Everything changed. Her sister became a figurehead, someone for the Citadel to hide behind. They forced Komand’r into an early position of queen and forced her to exile her little sister but not before the Citadel took advantage of the spare heir and did awful experiments on her.
Upon her banishment, Koriand'r was taken to a war camp called Takron. For the first time in her life, she was full of hatred and anger for what had happened to her but she took that rage, took that fury and chanelled it which manifested in a few extraordinary abilities.
While Kori possessed the gift of flight and energy absorbtion, like all Tamaraneans, her abilities moved beyond the typical capacity of her people. Due to a combination of the experiments and her anger at the situation, she was suddenly able to shoot rays of light from her hands that burned anything she shot them at beyond recognition. She knew that these powers existed but avoided using them since she knew very little about them or how to control them.
Unfortunately, however, her abilities became apparent to the Takronians after an incident. A guard was attempting to give Kori a gift and the encounter went astray. Kori went on defensive and attacked the guard in a very public, loud, and attentive display. She killed the guard and before the blood had time to dry, the commanders had come for her.
The experiments started again but this time, they were worse than before and continued on until slavers came to find her. A former princess sold for a very, very high price, and she was captured. However, she didn’t stay a slave for long.
Knowing that she possessed new capabilities, she broke free and killed the commander of the slaver’s ship. Freeing herself and the other slaves on board. Sometime around then, the ship crash landed and the alien princess found herself on an island within a strange planet called earth.
It didn’t take long for her to get off of the island and start meeting people, the first of which being Dick Grayson. She joined the Titans quickly afterwards and developed a romantic relationship with Dick Grayson.
After the two broke it off, she took some time off and traveled back to the site of the ship crash. It was there that Jason Todd and Roy Harper found her. The three of them joined up to become The Outlaws.
While with the Outlaws, she started a romantic relationship with Roy Harper although they had to break up when duty called for Kori to return to Tamaran. The Citadel had gone too far and her sister needed help.
She spent a few years on Tamaran and returning to her home made her a much happier person. Once her sister was okay, Kori returned to Earth, landing in Key West, where she had to readjust to Earthen customs after a few years away.
Koriand'r was born in Tamaran to the queen and king of the planet. She was their second daughter although Koriand'r was acknowledged as the successor to the throne by the people since her older sister, Komand'r was ailed with an illness that prevented her from being able to fly. The princess was relatively happy until her planet was invaded by enemy aliens and she was sold as a slave by her older sister. She remained in slavery for several years before her ship crashlanded on Earth and she was set free. Soon after that she joined the Teen Titans and devoted herself to protecting this new planet.

“ Human Verse ”
Koriand'r was born in Tamaran, an island off the coast of Spain. She was born into the royal family and was content with her life there until a group of Anti-Royalists, the Citadel, rebelled and took over the Tamaran. Their rebellion quickly spiraled into violence and the young Koriand’r, along with her sister, Komand’r, had to watch as their parents, along with everything they’d ever known, was destroyed. Unknown to Kori, her sister, in tandem with her parent’s advisors, had come up with a plan to get the two princesses out and to a country that had once seemed so far away: America.
Something went wrong though, someone leaked the information, and on their flight to the States, the two princesses were intercepted by the Citadel. They took Komand’r, on account of the fact that she was the royal heir and an important figurehead, but sold Koriand’r to a group of human traffickers, who paid a hefty sum for the princess.
She remained a slave for another rough five years before the hideout she had been stored in was discovered by the UN. It was only then that she was taken to America where she found out about Tamaran’s deteriorating state. The country had become a dictatorship and was holding her older sister hostage, a means of keeping the UN out.
It was what she had to do: Save her country. Taking advice from a close friend, she studied hard and caught up with her curriculum in a solid year and a half. She enrolled in Georgetown and is an international relations major with a minor in history. Right after college, she applied to work with the United Nations and, even though she’s just starting out, wants to eventually free her country and work to put human trafficking to an end.
