[hider=Kailani][u][b]Name[/b][/u]
[indent]Unpronounceable in human tongue.[/indent]
[u][b]Known Aliases[/b][/u]
[indent]Kailani[/indent]
[u][b]Age[/b][/u]
[indent]Unknown, but appearance-wise late teens.[/indent]
[u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]
[indent]There are two sides to Kailani’s appearance, the more common one around Project Borehole being an incredibly small, unassuming young girl. Standing at a whole 4’11’’, Kailani is deceptively fragile looking. She has rich dark brown hair that goes to mid back - though is usually pulled up in some capacity-, and tawny, light-brown skin with honey eyes. She has a fondness for thick cardigans and bright colors, but rarely gets access to them.

Of course, her nature can’t be entirely hidden even in this form. Despite its small stature, Kailani’s form is [i]incredibly[/i] heavy; easily hundreds of pounds densely packed into what looks like little more than a young girl. The second tell is the most subtle, as there’s an ever-present [i]hunger[/i] that lingers in her gaze.

These oddities are entirely down to what Kailani actually is, which isn’t human. Her species has been given the common name Devourer, a monstrous alien with never-ending hunger. Her true form is comparable to a full-size SUV, and just as heavy if not more. With thick purple plates along the sides and back, two large clawed arms, and a slavering mouth of teeth that can crush through anything a Devourer is a tank of a creature. In this form Kailani speaks in equal parts growling, chittering, and low pitches unheard to the human ear.[/indent]

[u][b]Psyche Profile[/b][/u]
[indent]In many ways, Kailani could easily be described as a puppy. Excitable, curious, and hasn’t quite learned the nuance of what is and isn’t a chew toy. She is incredibly upbeat, often sporting a toothy grin and bright eyes, not shying away from even the most dangerous of beings with questions and chatter. Her own danger comes from the fact that though she appears fascinated by humans, and when properly enriched can even seem harmless - aside from talking your ear off-, Kailani is [i]always[/i] hungry. Given the opportunity, she can and [i]will[/i] eat even those that have bonded with her - though she seems to prefer other sources if given a choice between the two. With no choice, there isn’t a shred of hesitation or regret. She has no moral backing when it comes to her own needs, be it hunger or plain curiosity.

Speaking of, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on her at all times considering that ‘eating’ is her usual way of exploring or discovering something she’s curious about.[/indent]
[u][b]Background[/b][/u]
[indent]It was a year and a half ago that Kailani’s carnage was first discovered. At first, it was assumed that a small meteor had hit one of the smaller Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the night, nothing more than a write away for excited space enthusiasts in the rumble of the impact.

Within eight hours, the nearest town greeted the dawn to families gone, buildings burrowed though, and a monster excitedly bounding from building to building to break it open like a demented Kinder Surprise. To make things even more convoluted, when confronted by a superhero she couldn’t just chew through, Kailani’s form melded and morphed into what seemed to just be a happy girl, blood splattered across her lower face and fingers as she excitedly chittered and asked what they were made of.

Though eventually contained, Kailani’s arrival was marked with blood and destruction. Truly, it seemed she didn’t even understand what was wrong. She was hungry, and so she ate. She was curious, and so she ate. When superheroes traced the path back, they found the crater she must’ve arrived in, and there had to have been [i]something[/i] that encapsulated her considering the miniscule pieces of a white plastic-like material. Predictably, it seems Kailani awoke from her sleep and promptly ate her way out of the pod. Then the rest of it.

Interrogations were an exercise in futility. Kailani appeared to be a very young Devourer, speaking of being born with dozens of siblings deep in the crust of their planet, and ending with only three of them left after the strong feasted on the weak. Trying to get any information about her planet resulted in descriptions of tastes, textures, and smells - even how she ended up on Earth deviated from talk of being transported to a new home right to how she likes how the ‘human’ bones crunch and have sauce in the middle of them. Though they did get quite a bit of information about her own species, Kailani didn’t seem to have satisfactory answers to anything outside of that. Eventually the superhero that stopped her offered to take her in. That ended poorly, when she ended up eating the arm of his other sidekick when told not to damage his base.

In truth, it’s a combination of her own danger and the fact that she’s not a very helpful subject that ended up with Kailani in Thornwood. After all, it had the facilities to keep her in line and allowed further study while keeping others away from her gaping maw. Maybe it was even a bit of green lining the pockets of others, as surely an alien that could utilize changing their very DNA would be of interest to certain studies conducted there. [/indent]
[u][b]Skills, Talents and Learning[/b][/u]
[indent]Eating! … Wait, that’s not a skill? In truth, considering her short time on Earth Kailani’s most useful aspects are her powers rather than any learned skills. That being said, she can speak English and Hawaiian, and knows how to operate small boats for all its worth.[/indent]
[u][b]Power(s) and Capabilities[/b][/u]
[indent][u]Black Hole[/u]: Kailani’s race appears to be able to consume anything that’s handed to her. Solids, liquids, acids, rocks, bones, fresh, rotten - she can digest absolutely everything, as well as bite through everything with a combination of powerful jaws and strangely coated teeth, not to mention a reinforced throat.

[u]Adaption[/u]: This alien is also extremely adaptable to her environment, as she has to be in order to eat whatever is in it. When she eats enough of a species she can take on qualities of it in shapeshifting - but not specific ones she ate, rather just a variation of the race. As well as that, in a unique quirk it appears her very lungs will adapt to her environment to purify the air; on earth she breathes in carbon monoxide and exhales oxygen due to adapting to humans rather than something like trees. Further, her body destroys harmful pathogens she inhales.[/indent]
[u][b]Power Limits[/b][/u]
[indent]Needs to eat a large amount of a species to adapt to it, and though Kailani can eat enough that her other needs or wants will become apparent, she’s never truly sated.[/indent]
[u][b]Known Vulnerabilities[/b][/u]
[indent]Kailani’s biggest flaw is always going to relate directly back to her hunger. Due to her incredibly ravenous appetite, her body will begin to eat itself in as little as six hours without food, and she would die after only two days without sustenance. Further, though her true form is built like a tank, she is particularly vulnerable to mental and elemental powers. In her human shapeshift she isn’t nearly as armored, and a normal bullet would easily pierce her skin - the only exception appears to be the inside of her mouth and throat.[/indent]
[u][b]Motives[/b][/u]
[indent]Hunger, hunger, [i]hunger[/i]. Kailani longs to no longer be on this forced diet, yet even more than that she longs for something different than this place she has been confined to. When she first landed there were strange plants, small creatures, the smell of salt, the taste of blood and marrow and glass and plastic. Now it’s all grey walls and ‘portions’.[/indent]
[u][b]Recommended Containment Procedures[/b][/u]
[indent]Keeping Kailani in her human form is key. She’s to be outfitted with a collar and ‘muzzle’, the latter to keep her from simply eating anything in her way, the former to shock her into unconsciousness should she try to change forms. Food intake is limited and has to be worked around the muzzle - she’s not meant to be starved, but by keeping her on strict portions she’s less energetic and more malleable with promises of food.

As an aside, she doesn't need to be fed typical food and can be used to dispose of garbage, plastics, or rot.[/indent]
[u][b]Notes[/b][/u]
[indent]Tends to describe things in taste and texture rather than anything useful. Her favorite Earth food is batteries.[/indent][/hider]
