Ix'kaali

K'aarak Engineer Ix'kaali (a.k.a. Kaali)

Ix'kaali. Child of storms. May your lasers strike true, and your ideas twice so.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A bit taller on average than most K'aarak, a bit more muscled, Ix'kaali has no problem wrestling even the larger machines of the station into submission, despite her lithe insectoid frame.

Body Features

Bright pink and red feathers sprout from under her spotted wings and wrist cuffs, standing out on her purple-blue finger plates.

Facial Features

A non-x'araak would be hard-pressed to notice, but cracks and breaks in the patterns of her facial carapace along the flaps of skin around her face hint at a rough start in life.

Identifying Characteristics

Ix'kaali is very brightly colored with a mostly bright red and blue carapace.

Physical quirks

One hand is missing the last joint on the finger from a machine-related accident.

Special abilities

Flight, natural armor

Apparel & Accessories

Paints her talons and mandibles like human nails. Wears a X'araak training suit to remind her of home.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Hatched in the midst of tribal war, she was born knowing she would proudly serve her people as a soldier, just like her matron taught her. She was the largest of her brood, and very proud of it, but often got distracted with a busy mind and a gentle heart when placed through training exercises and drills. She spent the majority of her time tinkering with her lasers, rather than firing them. This meant she spent much of her time isolated from her peers, either ignored or reprimanded by her caregivers for her lack of interest in defending the tribe or killing their rivals. But she came to enjoy the solitude, the quiet. And then she came of age, and the visions started. Strangely realistic dreams, at first, but they grew progressively clearer, coming when she was waking. Experienced in the upbringing of their people, her matron, Ix'krin, was able to identify the dangers the budding psychic posed, and sent for her to be taken off-world. Her new brood-mates were very strange. Many of them had smooth skin, and no wings. And they were very small. Moreso than her clutch-mates. But they made fun sounds, and they even encouraged her indulgence in studying k'aarak engineering. She graduated well - not the top of her class, having started her life with war in mind - but with enough respectability to be sent to a mining station for immediate work.
