Save some for the ladies, Zach!

Young Justice

I think Kassy would rather be a mermaid than a frog...

Young Justice

@Crimson Flame I would love that, actually. Kassy might not know what to do with herself though.

Young Justice

@dreamingflowers

Thank you! I will recopy it when I'm on my computer.

Young Justice

I suppose Kassy will have been around for a few days too.

Mirage

| NAME |

Kassandra Keigwan

| AGE |

17

| MENTOR |

Aquaman

| DESIGNATION |

Y06 - Mirage

| APPEARANCE |

Kassy is about 5’8'' (5’10” in aquatic form) and rather pudgy, with dark skin and thick, curly white hair. Her eyes are bright orange, with wide pupils. She has a long orange tailfin when in full aquatic form.

She usually wears feminine clothing, skirts and flowy tops and lots of jewelry. She dislikes shoes.

Her hero costume is a work in progress because her writer can’t decide on a design. Skintight fish leotard is kinda boring, Mera.

| BIO |

Kassandra was born with a rare type of magic, one that had been systematically expunged from her race's DNA. Her grandfather could read minds. Her mother could speak to the dead. Kassy herself can cast illusions of all sorts. Her mother and father traveled the seas, never staying in one place for a long time. Her mother took work from those who didn't hate her power, and they lived this way until Kassy was about eight. Her mother's spirit was taken from her body during her work, and her body ceased to live. Her distraught father took her to the home of her aunt, promising to return for her soon. He never did.

Young Kassy grew up isolated. She was shunned by the townspeople, and shamed by her aunt. Her aunt considered her a freeloader and a sociopath, and was determined to beat the magic out of her. Her uncle did nothing to stop his wife's poor treatment of their niece. Kassy's only solace was in her cousin Leonce, who ignored his mother's opinions and treated her as a sister. The two grew up close, and he was her savior.

Unfortunately, her aunt was not much kinder to her own son, and as soon as her cousin became of age, he married to someone and moved far away from home. While he did offer to take Kassy with him, she declined. Left on her own, Kassy honed her magic in secret, growing more controlled and powerful by the turn of each tide. All she had to do was make it five more years, and then she would be an adult in the eyes of the law.

Five years proved to be too long. After one particularly rough night, Kassy gathered what she had and left home, determined to find somewhere that she belonged. She swam on and on, only stopping permanently in the massive city of Atlantis. When browsing the market for food, she ran into - and stopped - a robbery attempt with quick use of her magic. She didn't have time to consider the consequences of using her magic in such a public space, and word spread like squid ink in clear water. Several guards appeared to take her to the palace for questioning, and Kassy was certain she was going to die in prison. Luckily for her, that was not the case.

King Arthur and Queen Mera found her abilities quite interesting. After much negotiation and politics, Kassy was taken in as a mage apprentice. She was gifted a staff of the elements, a costume, and a proper training regiment.

| ABILITIES / SKILLS / EQUIPMENT |

*Illusions - Kassy's most versatile ability is that she can form illusions of all 5 senses. Sight and sound are the easiest for her; tactile illusions a bit more difficult. Smell and taste are possible for Kassy, but she's not very good at them; mostly because those are quite subjective. Her favorite tricks are to make herself invisible and soundless, leaving her able to easily surprise unaware enemies.

*Resistance - Kassy has a natural resistance, and in some cases, immunity to mental attacks. Another illusionist will be ineffective against her.

*Human Shape - While Kassy does usually go around with a tail, she can walk on land for hours at a time. How long she can manage depends on how hydrated she is at the time, but she will have to go into water within 24 hours. Usually she has to spend her nights in a bath or pool.

*Staff combat – Kassy’s magic staff is very durable, and she’s learned to use it as a physical weapon. The octopus figure topping it is weighted, and packs a punch.

*Knife combat – While she would much prefer to stay out of the action, if she has to, Kassy can also defend herself with a small hooked fishing knife.

*Swimming – Kassy can swim in all forms with great speed and grace.

Equipment: *Elemental Staff – The staff Kassy carries is made of metal with a magical core, and it’s covered in various runes. She has elemental spells ‘programmed’ in, ones that she can use at will to control fire, water, air and earth. There is a figure of an octopus that tops the staff, whose eyes light up to correspond with the running spell. (Kassy has named this figurine Damiek.)

*Fishing Knife – Kassy has a medium sized fishing knife mostly used for hunting and last- ditch self defense.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES |

*Dehydration – Too long without water will kill Kassandra far faster than it will kill a human. Even after a few hours she feels weak and fuzzy headed. 2 days, maybe 3, and she is toast.

*Confidence – Strange for the usually bold hero types, she is definitely on the shyer side when out of combat and costume. This could easily be exploited by someone close to her.

*Alien Chemistry – Drugs behave strangely in her system. Even something as innocuous seeming as caffeine or alcohol may have strange effects. For example, given a cup of strong coffee, Kassy becomes extremely hyperactive and bubbly for a few hours. Then she sleeps so deep an earthquake couldn’t phase her.

| NOTES |

Alien Phisiology: Kassandra is an Atlantean variant, from somewhere deeper in the ocean than Atlantis. As such she has a humanoid form, and an aquatic form. The aquatic form is akin to a mermaid, despite her insistence that she is not, in fact, the little mermaid. Her bones are harder than usual, her skin is oddly smooth and nearly hairless, she has sharp teeth befitting a carnivore, and her temperature runs cold. She could be mistaken for a human at a quick glance, but anything past that would show her as non-human.

Trivia: *Kassandra sings like a honey-voiced angel. No one knows this, as she only sings when she's alone or, at least, thinks she is.
*The staff can do more than Kassy knows it can do. She has not fully unlocked its potential.
*Instead of a bed, Kassy sleeps in a large saltwater pool on the bottom floor of the tower.
*Kassy has a small tattoo on the back of her neck in the shape of an eye. All of her people have these, as designations of family lines.

Young Justice

Hopefully Sanctuary

Sure! I think the conversation is about done.

I could use a hand with the invocation.

Kijani Ryane, Communicator of Thoth

[ BASICS ]

---

[ NAME ]
** Kijani Ryane **

[ AGE ]
** 20 **

[ GENDER ]
** Female **

[ COMMUNICATOR OF ]
** Thoth **

[ MYTHOLOGY OF (YOUR GOD) ]
** A brief statement about the history and mythology of your chosen God. **

---

[ APPEARANCE ]

---

[ PHYSIQUE ]
Kijani is 6 foot even with dark skin, golden brown eyes and thin, neat black dreadlocks. She has a lean, athletic build. She usually wears the higher end of fashion, having a preference for bespoke suits and high end shoes. When not wearing a suit, she’ll usually go for brand name jeans, sneakers, and fancy tops. Her wardrobe is massive, and she’s always dressed for success, no matter what the occasion.

[ HEIGHT / WEIGHT ]
6’0’’/ 140 pounds

---

[ PERSONALITY ]

---

[ PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ]
Kijani has a tendency to be haughty and arrogant. She believes she’s more mature and therefore better than people her age, and tends to show that in her bearings to others. Most of the time she’s aloof and proud when in groups, sociable but not dishonest. She doesn’t pull punches in her speech or manner. This personality does not make her friends, and in fact pushes people away easily. She doesn’t care, or at least pretends not to. She is also a little on the hedonistic side, preferring the finer things in life.

If anyone were to get past the bitchy exterior, they’d find an intelligent, fun loving young woman full of passion. Kijani loves to read and has several nerdy passions, a secret joy for epic fantasy novels and a bookcase full of the kind of novels that you would think a girl like her would scoff at. She also has several nonfiction loves, such as stories of historical badass women, spies and secret societies. And she’d be happy to talk a person’s ear off about them at any time. She is happier when she’s not trying to be the best, and her personality would reflect that if someone was to become close with her.

[ LIKES / DISLIKES ]
*Books, wine, good food
*”stupid” people, small spaces, being in the dark alone

[ BIOGRAPHY ]

---

[ Place of Origin ]
New York

[ BIO ]
Kijani was born to two very wealthy, intelligent people who so happened to be horrible marriage partners. Her parents met up at a party, one thing led to another which led to a pregnancy, a marriage of saving social graces, and a baby Kijani. Her father, a top-level computer programmer, never gave her the time of day despite living in the same house. Her mother trotted her out when she wanted other people to see her daughter as a status object, but was aloof and critical otherwise.

When Kijani was about 10, she was kidnapped and held for ransom for about 2 weeks. Her parents paid, she was released, but she was never quite the same after that. In that time period, she’d come to the conclusion that she wasn’t wanted, and that the only person who would ever look out for her was herself. She legally emancipated from her parents at 16 with no argument.

Once freed, she finished high school and dove straight into college, double majoring in business and world literature. She is excelling in all courses and already thinking about grad school.

[ REASON FOR CHOICE ]
Thoth saw an intelligent, bored young woman not living up to her full potential. He took Kijani’s desperate need to see herself as different from others and gave her a real reason to believe that she was. Then made sure she was around others just like her – just to drive the point home.

---

[ POWERS ]

---

[ RELICS / FAMILIARS ]
Kopesh – Nothing super special or sacred about it to her knowledge; just a weapon to defend herself if necessary.

Scroll of Thoth – This is the important one. The Scroll of Thoth never runs out, and has an endless length of papyrus to keep record on.

[ POWERS ]
I. Translation: Kijani can understand all languages, even ancient ones. It was a definite surprise for her to wake up and be able to understand everything she heard on the subway going to the city.

II. Read Memory: Kijani can remember everything she reads, and then put it down later on the Scroll. It comes in handy for keeping track of things, especially conversations. Kijani could sit and write an entire dialogue happening between two people in a regular notebook, then put it on the Scroll for record. This skill is always “On” for lack of a better word. She hasn’t found a way yet to forget a book.

III. Paper Control: Kijani can control the density and strength of paper products. That means turning a book into the weight of a brick, or toilet paper into rope, so on and so forth. This is what she prefers to use for self defense, rather than the kopesh that she’s a bit afraid of.

[ INVOCATION ]
** Describe what would happen with a theoretical invocation. A picture of the summoned God would be a nice, requested addition, though not mandatory. **

[ OTHER INTERESTS/SKILLS ]
Besides the obsessive reading, Kijani is skilled in various forms of dance. She is very physically flexible and does yoga and tai chi in her spare time.
