KHORSHID -X-Affix-
Hakan's Theme - Street Fighter 4
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Specie: Nephal (Scorpionoid)
Physical Description: A tannish girl with dark-auburn hair. Her back is plated with a blackish exoskeleton, extending large claws, scorpion legs, and a large coiling stinger-tipped tail. She wears tattered hide clothes and leg wraps. Also, she has bright green markings along her hair, arms, and pincers.
Personality: Having grown up in the desert all her life, she's naive to urban civilization, so every little thing about it amazes her to no end. Due to the nuclear absorption, she's become unstable, turning downright insane when provoked. If you're a meanie, she won't hesitate to nuke you. Also, she loves pigs...for eating. Any kind of pig, especially wild boars.
History: No one knows what happened to this Iranian scorpionoid's family, but she was found half-starved and parched by a family of gypsies, who took her in and raised her as their own. One day, her new family was killed by an extremist faction that meant to fire nuclear missiles upon populated areas around the world. Not wanting other families to suffer, Khorshid snuck into their base and used a rite of her kind to assimilate all the nuclear energy from the warheads. How she survived is unknown, but it drove her to the brink of insanity, destroying all the terrorists on her way out.
Equipment: N/A
Abilities: As a scorpionoid, she fights with her arms, legs, pincers, and stinger tail. She can use her stinger to absorb and adapt to any kind of poison - thanks to aura training with the gypsies, she can suck up poisons over a wide area. Furthermore, absorbing nuclear energy has made her upper body a living nuclear reactor, letting her fire lasers and such from her pincers. Also, this has made her very energetic and fast.
Other: She's known to eat pretty much anything - she even ate the terrorists after she killed them in her radioactive frenzy. Waste not, want not! She also eats fruit, of course, but prefers the toxic kind.

- Yes, she does have a rushing attack based on Dante's Stinger move.
- Of the Major Arcana, Khorshid is based on The Sun.
- Her instability and nuclear fusion abilities are based from Utsuho Reiuji, a Hell raven of the Touhou Project who manipulates nuclear fusion, much like the sun. However, Khorshid is more optimistic and carefree than the violent Utsuho.
