Name - "Keepa" Alias - Keter Age - Appears 18ish (Flight time of the 'birth nexus' ranging around 300 years (Official Creation: upon introduction post)) Powers - 'Keepa', being constructed of a dark mater contained within the crystal they had landed in, Keepa's general mass is able to skirt shadows nearly invisibly to the unwitting eye. Though it shimmers like spilled ink as a tell, Keepa's mass is able to stretch to fill tight corners or fit through tight places (such as under doors or through vent grating or even another person's shadow). Due to the malleability of Keepa's mass, they are capable of forming blades from their mass nearly at a whim, on top of other various weaponized movements or binding those who may be clumsy enough to allow themselves to be snared, simply by stepping on them. There are numerous applications and advantages that having such a form could potentially hold, although these listed are the most common. (Crazy stuff will be run by the GM or AU before posting) Weaknesses - Considering the dark environment Keepa had adapted to, either from the time spent in the crystal or from wherever they originated, Keepa's mass is highly sensitive to direct light. Sustained exposure calluses the outer layer of their mass, giving it a porcelain smoothness. Unfortunately, it also holds roughly the same durability if not a bit tougher (handle with care). Thankfully, due to the nearly weightlessness of the interior mass, Keepa weighs little more than 20lbs, with most of their weight coming from what clothes they wear and the callused outer layer, making the possibility of damaging themselves simply through walking a non-issue. While locked in this body form, Keepa is susceptible to blunt force which may shatter the shell, exposing more of their mass to the light and being forced to endure the disintegration agony that comes from it and the callusing process. Keepa's mass is gradually restored through the consumption of most carbon-based materials. Due to the callusing process, Keepa's eyes are burned smooth through the same means. While in body form, Keepa is mostly blind except for an acute style of echolocation. Personality - Naive, curious, volatile [hider=Appearance]Keepa stands at roughly 5'7, weighing in at roughly 20lbs. They prefer to take a physical form, most of the time, in a manner that more resembles a highly detailed life-sized marionette of androgynous gender with an effeminate male lean; gender being mostly lost to Keepa in their attempt to mimic humans.

The event tore most of the crystal in half, a good portion sinking into the ocean while the rest slid through the surf until running aground. The police were quick to respond, along with light military backup, only to find a crumbling shell of the half of the crystal which was composed of highly impure diamond. The darkness having left the wreck which could have held a modern sedan, the area was quarantined. Calling it quits after a day of combing the beach and utilizing submersible vehicles to search for traces of the contents of the gem, the focus of the police force was redirected to the odd reports of an oddly dressed woman(?) performing vigilantist acts...to which no trace of the original criminal could be found. Murder investigations are underway, but with no fingerprints or any DNA besides that of the shaken would-be victims and their consistent reports of the same person, most of the cases were abandoned. Who [I]really[/I] cared about a few missing hooligans? Notes - Keepa's voice is formed through a construction of flute-like chirps that are used to form words. This is a new concept to them, as the words are often poorly formed, bleeding into a sort of language which seemingly consists of multi-tuned hums and chirps in a drawn-out song-like fashion. Thankfully, interpretation and mimicry are Keepa's strong suits. This isn't to say Keepa cannot speak...only that it will take some work for anything close to English to be produced. - Keepa is a suspiciously fast learner, bringing into question the original purpose of its arrival. - The nature or level of sentience Keepa possesses is unknown, communication being hit or miss at times (to begin with).
