And so She stands there
Shimmering, apart, yet Here
What does she look like?

Khay, as most know her, stands at any height she wishes- to a degree, and based on the dimensional stability of whatever zone she is in. Most often she will range between Five feet and Eight, and can only go as small as six inches and as large as seventeen- to do so is to involve herself in quite the ritual in either case, to be assured.

That said, it is one of a few variables in her appearance. Her figure is usually lithe, assuming she takes care of herself while in a physical realm- toned muscles and long, slender limbs. Her face is angular, with a sharp chin, and eyes that burn bright red, or simmer dull magenta. Full, oft quirked lips hide sharp teeth, pointed all with long fangs. Atop her head is a glorious mane of hair- long black hair in dreadlocks, or dark red hair let loose in waves.

Of course, most might assume her to be an abnormal human of strange posture and mutated features... without taking into consideration her extra set of arms, as dexterous and capable as her others, and the prehensile whip of a forked tail, black and scaled unlike the rest of her light brown flesh.

Ah, and one mustn't forget the third eye; but more on that later.


This is all of course assuming one of two things.
First would be that she chooses to show her true form- it is of course possible that she has chosen to appear, for some purpose, with only two arms and no tail. In such cases they are still there of course, just wrapped tight to her back and veiled in illusion.

The other would be that she is visible at all, or entirely- in places where the Warp, the Phase, the Shift- all such things are dampened, impossible- so too does she become less able to exist, at least as a visible, physical entity. The opposite can be true as well- in places where there is an overwhelming otherworldly or interdimensional presence, Khay may find it difficult to keep herself bound to the physical realm.



You see her stand there
You know her Physical looks
But what does she bear?

Khay clothes herself invariably in ankle length robes- open on the sides of the skirts to allow for easier movement- that range in colour from dark blues to bright reds, and tend towards kaleidoscopic patterns. For storage, she will usually keep several pouches and satchels bound by belts, around her waist and legs. She rarely has footwear or gloves or the like, unless she's going to some special function which demands the respect.

Around her head she wears a bandanna, much more uniform in appearance than the rest of her wardrobe- while the colour always matches, the pattern is simple, archaic, and bearing the symbol of an eye in the middle, over her forehead. Sometimes she wears jewelry- but of course this is tactically unsound, when it matters.

While she has several baubles and trinkets on her- she would consider herself a collector of interesting things- her armament is the most impressive and visible, provided she has not rendered it invisible.

- Chainsword of Mnirok: The most "conventional" weapon of Khay's arsenal, it is a motor operated weapon with a series of chain-bound, razor sharp teeth capable of rending through flesh, bone, and some armours with relative ease.

- Anira, The Flaying One: This simple looking straight blade holds many secrets, including a minor Demon of its own. Principle among its capabilities are that it is in fact also a Power sword- and thus is capable of operating as such, slashing through most materials by way of molecularly altering their hardness as it passes through.
Anira, as the Demon is called, can project a point defense shield- capable of blocking most projectiles and some forms of psionic projection. It can also enhance the blade's natural capabilities, as well as fire a projectile- but all of these things sap its energies, meaning that only so many uses can be achieved before the Demon must rest.

- The Cannon: Usually held in her lower two arms, The Cannon is a large rifle which fires rocket propelled, explosive-tipped projectiles. While not the actual size and damage of, say, an armoured tank's cannon, it is nevertheless quite effective at dealing with most threats, up to lightly armoured vehicles, at a range of up to a three hundred feet (variably accurate based on whether or not Khay is aiming well, of course.)



Body and weapons
Yet more, in her arsenal
What lurks in her mind?

To say Khay is a dangerous being even disarmed would be to severely underestimate her; Better to say that Khay augments her mind with physical accoutrements.
Khay is what one would call a Psion, Psyker, or Sorcerer. She uses several abilities that can be used for combat, or other purposes at times. Principle among them are the following;

- Teleportation. A signature ability of hers, it is often accompanied by a Vwoomp of some kind and a cloud of coloured smoke (when leaving.) This is interdimensional in nature, allowing transit between planes.

- Projectile Halting. A reactive ability, Khay can stop solid projectiles, up to the size of cannon shells, and numbering to about a score at a time. Of course, this can always fail, such is the fickle sensibility of the powers she serves.

- Conventional Forcefield. 'Conventional' in this case meaning 'Omni-effective.' This works in the same way as Projectile Halt, but is overall less effective and less reliable.

- Body veil. There are occasions- such as in the face of those who might particularly despise demonic or warp entities- where appearing as a toothy woman with four arms and a tail is surprisingly conspicuous. As a result, Khay has learned how to hide her second set of arms and her tail, alter her teeth, and make other such minor modifications to how she is perceived- rendering them invisible, if still perfectly able to be felt. Of course, touching an errant tail breaks the illusion immediately.
Khay will usually be in this muted form when first entering an unfamiliar area... just in case.

- Shapeshifting. While not so much an 'active' ability, it happens to be that when Khay transfers from one dimension to another, sometimes her actual dimensions change- most commonly only in an increase or decrease in size. Effectively, she has to teleport in order to change size (by transporting herself to a different dimension outside the physical plane, effectively), and then reappearing- in the same spot as she wishes, if that is possible at the time (and if she doesn't miss.)
The other way in which she can shapeshift is to take on her more proper Demonic appearance, which is... more or less limited to talons and clawed feet. Contrary to popular belief, she does not have a 'snout.'
As of yet, she has not bothered- or been capable perhaps- of altering her appearance in other ways.

- Mental lightning strike. The one ability Khay usually exhibits when removing her headband, and revealing her third eye. To the outsider, it appears as if Khay is simply looking at her target with her third eye, and shooting a bolt of powerful, psionic bio-lightning at them, often with painful- if not deadly- results. In fact this is precisely what is happening.

- Mind Reading/Altering. This is a tricky one; effectively speaking, Khay cannot read minds. Technically speaking however, Khay is able to enter minds, if she is given enough purchase to do so. Being an entity of alternate dimensions, one of those dimensions to which she has access happens to be the realm of the subconscious.
Basically, if someone is willing enough to trust her, then they may just be willing enough- subconsciously- to allow her to read and change their thoughts.

- Psionic Ventriloquism. The official name of what Khay does, which is basically throwing her voice wherever she wishes to with her mind. It might be said that this is in fact her only means of communicating, and that she moves her mouth to mimic it. Whatever the truth, she can also selectively allow certain people to hear her words (or selectively deny others from hearing them) when she so wishes, and if she's paying close enough attention to do so.



You know her powers
(Of course, provided she shows)
But how does she think?

Khay T'Uun is a curious creature by nature. She will often seek to make friends with others, although her true intentions behind each friendship are not entirely out in the open.

It can be said that she is a seeker of power; being what she is, she is always on the look out for fascinating artefacts, powerful individuals, and ancient legends. Khay may not always be up front and honest with what she wants or why she is in a place- in fact it's almost a guarantee that she will work in a way to not be honest whenever possible- but she seldom means to harm anyone, necessarily. She is also highly adverse to being harmed herself, especially if such harm has the potential of sending her back from whence she came- an impermanent situation to be sure, but never a pleasant one.

Khay tends to have a few different attitudes; Forward, Evasive, and Curious being principle among them.
When Khay is being forward, she will be much more direct about what she wants. She usually isn't going to be so forward unless she has a very obvious situational advantage, or feels owed enough that she can do so without feeling at risk.

Her Evasive personality is the second most common; after all, she is usually outgunned and dealing with creatures that, at least theoretically, are more powerful than her. It may be said that this is just a front, but either way Khay becomes very dodgy and tends to avoid giving direct answers to questions, instead opting for whatever she thinks might make the other party (or parties) happiest, or busy with one another.

Khay is very curious, however. She very much enjoys learning about others, so much so that she is willing to travel with, assist, or otherwise stick around with anyone she wants to learn about for very extensive periods of time- lifetimes, in some cases. Often this is accompanied by frequent questions, and, occasionally, offers.



At last you know Her
But her past is in shadow
What Perils await?

Being an entity of the Beyond, it is a matter of fact that Khay, sometimes, loses control of the less solid aspects she commands.

On occasion- hopefully uncommon- Khay may incidentally summon less popular effects from using her psionic abilities. These range from fairly simple and harmless things, such as a chilly breeze or distant screams on the wind, to less good like shattering glass in a radius or causing a burst of lightning to strike her (and those nearby), to the absolute worst; damaging the barriers between worlds, summoning unbound Demons, or worse.
