Khalxaen
10-30-11, 01:29 AM
Very overdue. Updates in blue!
Name: Khalxaen Spirits
Age: 20
Race: Demon
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Scarlet
Height: 5”3
Weight: 115 lbs
Personality: While Khalxaen is a very impulsive person, she is starting to become more cautious about her actions. A common trait that she has is that she seems very untrusting, and will always have suspicions about strangers. Yet, this does not stop her from haughtily accepting an assignment, especially if the promised rewards are hefty. She rarely thinks about the consequences of what she’s about to do. The girl doesn’t like being bossed around, and can be tactless and rude at times. Even though she appears to be like this, Khalxaen makes an effort to be friendly. The demon can also come off as very sarcastic and unreasonable.
Although she isn’t like other demons who love the slay, she does love fighting and the adrenaline it gives her. She likes being excited and being on the verge of fights. Khalxaen tries to keep her demonic side in check, although the smell of blood can cause her true nature to surface, wherein the instinct to kill takes over. Other than that, she can also be very distant. Being a wanderer without any really purpose, she doesn’t have any long-time friends and she hates being attached to people she’s just going to leave afterwards. Although she feels like this all the time, she can’t help but be interested in some people and become attached to them anyway.
Appearance: Khalxaen has long dark brown hair tied into a tight ponytail with a black piece of cloth. Her eyes are tinted scarlet. Her skin is tanned, and she has a short but fit body. She seems to have grown a bit in her years of travel, although she still looks like a teenager. Her muscles are becoming more toned, and she’s beginning to develop curves. Khalxaen looks almost human, and she could probably be mistaken for one if not for the very distinguished pointy ears she has. They look like the ears of an elf, and she’s usually mistaken as one, rather than what she really is – a demon.
The demon wears a breast plate made of bone over a white tube top and a black pair of leather pants. The pants are fastened together with a belt which has a small bag tied to it. Also strapped to her belt is a short sword. She has leather wrappings from her elbow to her wrists. On her feet are leather boots. At times, she wears a dark hooded cloak to conceal her identity.
Skills:
Swordsmanship - She can wield her sword skillfully enough to battle another person of her own level. Also, because of her small size, she can move rather swiftly, but also because of her small size, she is slightly weaker than most people.
Abilities:
Scarlet Eyes - She can see in the dark very clearly, as if it was day.
Bloodlust – At the smell of bood, Khalxaen’s demonic instincts take over, giving her a rush of adrenaline that causes her to be stronger and faster than usual. (1.5x strength and agility, can last 3 posts)
Spikes - Can summon spikes of ice from the air around her, each about a foot long and as sharp as blades. May be used around three times a thread.
Cyclone - Khalxaen can cause the wind around a particular area to gain pressure and eventually become cyclones (three feet in diameter) that will prevent the opponent from moving efficiently and also cause minor wounds. May be used around two times a thread.
Barrier - She can chant a spell that causes her short sword to emit a barrier around herself. It can protect her against most attacks, but not against attacks from higher leveled characters. May be used around three times a thread (lasts 3 posts, or when hit 5x by moderate attacks).
Equipment:
Skoteinos- A short sword made of steel. It was specially made for her, and she can wield rather good. Skoteinos is a sentient sword that is able to converse with Khalxaen through her thoughts.
Dagger – Iron. Practically useless in fights. Can be used in other situations, though, like picking a lock.
Other Items:
Crystal Shard - Acquired when she set out for the Crystal of Truth with Cielalune, but they only ended up with seemingly useless shards which they split among themselves.
History: Khalxaen Spirits was born as a small but rowdy young girl. She was found one night wandering around the streets of a quiet village, without any recollection of where she had come from. The villagers thought she was an elf because of her ears, and since they thought of elves as peaceful creatures, took her in as one of the young apprentices of the chapel. There, she lived with the priestess, Trixien. Trixien was the one who had named her Khalxaen Spirits, after her own mother. At first, Khalxaen hated serving the chapel, and was often caught sleeping in-between masses. Everyone scolded her, yet she didn’t seem to care.
As she was growing up, she didn’t seem ever want to stay put in one place, or be alone. She cried every time her playmates had to go home, but she also hated it when people called her a baby for it. Of course, it was very obvious that young Khalxaen was simply very lonely.
When she was a young teenager, the blacksmith of the village had fallen for her. At first, she didn’t want anything to do with him, yet she took interest in him when he had given her a short sword named Skoteinos. She became very engrossed with it. When Trixien had found out what the blacksmith had done, she became very furious and confiscated the sword. She also forbid Khalxaen to speak with the blacksmith. This made Khalxaen very curious, and finally, she begged Trixien to tell her why.
That was when she was told that on the night she was found, she was walking around with blood smeared on her face, and she was lugging around bloody Skoteinos. She cried and cried when she sword was taken away from her. The people who found her knew she was a demon, yet they took pity on her and waited until the toddler forgot about the sword and introduced her to the villagers, who thought she was an elf. Trixien told Khalxaen to never go near the sword, because she feared something weird would happen. Khalxaen said she wouldn’t.
Yet, the very next day, Khalxaen was gone, and so was the sword. It was another one of her impulsive acts, but she knew that the sword would tell her who she was. She has been wandering Althanas for some time now, yet still, nothing has happened. Khalxaen wants to go back to the village, but she knows that everyone there is now afraid of her for something she didn’t do.
Since leaving the village, Khalxaen resorted to travelling to nowhere in particular and accepting odd jobs (including mercenary work) in order to get by. She has met a few people who have made an impact on her. She is currently searching for another short sword to accompany Skoteinos, as he is supposed to be part of a pair, and wielded as such. However, the few swords she has come by and used proved to be useless and only got in her way, and as such she continues to search. Another thing she continues to search for is the truth of her demonic race.
