About
Cinder_Kindle was one of the main builders of Podzil, having built the three townhouses later known as the Hoptal, Libary and Buider areas, as well as finishing Mini Paul where Cinder_Ignite had left it off, building Podzil's Metro Station, the west wall, the Mangrove building, the park behind the townhouses and its surroundings, and the plaza right off the Metro Station. She intended to make Podzil the most beautiful civ and had more planned but due to external circumstances and lack of support within the civ she wasn't able to fully realize her vision.
She would describe herself as quite patriotic, so when Soft_Serenity and Molten_Sun betrayed everyone she was particularly angry at them for tainting Podzil's name and making it's population quit and break off. Even after everything that happened she was still proud to be Podzilian right until the end.
History
Cinder_Kindle joined the Era on Session 5, she stumbled upon Aerial_Twist who lead her and another new member to Podzil, claiming they were the richest. Upon getting there Cinder saw quite a few familiar faces that compelled her to stay, some of those being Molten_Sun and Soft_Serenity. She had to become a miner due to necessity and spent her first few session digging a basement for Molten_Sun's Fort Podzil, which was meant to be the final base Podzil would settle on. Meanwhile Cinder was aching to be a builder, so right after she died she took the opportunity and immediately started grinding Builder xp. Unfortunately she was a bit frustrated for a bit, since Molten had insisted on building the Fort all alone, and the Fort was meant to have everything, so she had nothing to build for a while. And while all this was happening Cinder ended up overhearing Molten having a conversation with Aerial_Twist and Ending_Void, the civs only two guardsmen at the time. They were conspiring against Final_Void, the civ manager. Molten said he didn't like Final's little "regime" and that since he had built a spider farm for the guardsmen that then they should just do as he said. Cinder immediately snitched on him. He told Final_Void as soon as she could, and later on Molten_Beacon, the second in command, just so he would know. Cinder very much respected Molten as a builder, as they had worked closely together in the past, but she didn't agree to many things he did or said, leading to clashes between them.
Things were calm for a bit. Cinder finally started building once she offered to make individual houses for everyone in the civ, so she started making her townhouses, which she built as apartments in mind. But some time had passed and Molten hadn't finished the Fort yet, so despite being a contender for the richest civ, they still lived in a dirt skybase. To remedy this Final approached Cinder and decided that the townhouses would server as different stations, giving them the purpose they have today. After finishing the townhouses she worked on the Metro Station, which stayed as a work in progress almost until the end of the Era due to Metrocity's struggles to get the tunnel and the rails done. She also finished the first floor of Mini Paul, a corner building that Cinder_Ignite, another builder, had started, and that served as the Blacksmith area. Cinder would work on the second and third floors little by little along the rest of the Era. By this point Molten had finished his Fort, which was utilized as a storage building, bedroom and meeting room, which meant everyone had finally moved out of the skybase. There were a few security problems specially now that the City was full of people and not just two or three builders working at night, so the next thing she tackled was reinforcing and build a wall on the west side of the base, where there was a forest. Cinder hoped that by working with other builders the wall would be done really quickly, but unfortunately for her at this point Molten and Ignite were logging on less often. Even after Final_Void became a builder after the Bungee Jumping Incident they had mostly been working with Nautical_Stream, the miner, on making the mountain next door flat and safe for a later event known as the Carnaval. Cinder locked in and finished the wall by herself, as well as making a purely decorative mangrove building to help the back view of the base. She started working on the back garden, finished Mini Paul and added a fire escape on it's back when the metagaming rule was lifted. The next day would unfortunately be her last, missing the last two session due to life. So she locked in again and started working really hard to polish all the details. She finished the back of the buildings, made a plaza on the blank part of the base (where she had planed to maybe building something last minute, or at least leave it to Final in case he wanted to do something there), she tried to finish as most of the canal as she could, or at least make it look decent, and patched a few holes here and there. She ended up having a lot of time to spare, so she decided to release an early copy of the first book of her upcoming duology named "We have reputations (we keep it secret)", the in-game book being titled "Reputations" due to character limits. She left the book in the Librarian's apartment so it could be copied and shared with the world while she was gone, but unfortunately she was told by the time the librarian went to get it it was gone.
She ended up quitting early due to her teammates betrayal. Previously she had heard accusations from NPC claiming that Soft_Serenity had pots to kill them, Cinder brushed them off since she knew Serenity enjoyed PvP. But then news that Serenity had killed a few people arrived, and Molten showed up with her, both in full netherite. They were trying to ignite conflict between NPC and Podzil. Cinder disagreed and in response Molten said "You don't agree with me? Fight me", Cinder laughed it off, half serious, and called him a dictator. Then, on the next session, Final opened a conflict ticket. Cinder still isn't quite sure what happened, since she was so focused on getting building stuff done. Final did not include her in the ticket since she wouldn't be there the next day, making her think the ticket would be for the next day. Then, a little bit later Molten and Serenity appeared, killing pretty much everyone. Cinder was sure she would die, she thought they were breaking the rules and killing a bunch of people for the fun of it, not knowing that everything that happened was within the rules. She quickly threw an Invis pot she had and hid. Only she and Nautical survived, not having been included in the ticket. Final was emotionally defeated, understandably. They ended up quitting as well as a few other people. In the end NPC came and killed both Serenity and Molten, but the damaged had already been done. As well as killing everyone Serenity attempted to burn down the city (unsuccessfully) and destroyed the wheat field, making Waking_Night, the farmer (who had also survived), quit as well. At that point any respect Cinder had for Serenity had vanished, specially after seeing how childish she was being.
Cinder continued to work despite everything that happened. But ended up quitting the game thirty minutes early due to the misery that was being pretty much all alone in the city. She felt like all the effort she had put in towards making Podzil a great civ had been thrown away by two individuals ruining the fun of everyone else. Despite all this, if you were to ask her to this day she would still proudly say she is Podzilian.
