Kalypsa Analysis

Kalypsa - "Take flight, make haste! If you wish to survive this night there's no time to waste!"

Age
***

A couple of millennia

Looks
*****

At first glance she looks like a regular centaur. Her horse half is covered with ebony fur that's as dark as night. Her human half  is that of a beautiful young woman, having smooth, flawless, cream colored skin. She is extremely "top heavy", and has brilliant magenta eyes. Her hair is long and brilliant green. Highlights of the same color are present on her tail, and just above her hooves.

When she drops her disguise, her appearance changes - but in no way that makes it hard to recognize her. When she's not trying to pass herself for a normal centaur, her eyes tend to glow brightly in there respective colors. The most noticeable features com in the form of her hair, hooves and her tail. When her disguise is dropped, her hooves become enveloped with neon green fire, and her tail seems to become a green flame as well. The texture of her horse half seems to take on a scaly texture, rather than that of fur. She also sprouts a set of wings, similar to that of a Pegasus, but there is no skin connecting them just a similar green glow that shines from the ends as they involuntarily flap is she's not on the ground.

Behavior Patterns
***************

Completely conceited, lazy, and extremely gluttonous. She's not got very many friends because of her nature - not because she's conceited, but because getting up and actually going to make friends takes effort; which would get in the way of eating, sleeping, and admiring herself in whatever reflection she happened to pass by. However, she when she does move she moves extremely far and extremely quickly. It's also possible to break her behavior cycle  quite easily due to her limited time in the living plane. She tends to be easily amused and very curious about her surroundings and the ways of the world.

When she does befriend someone, she is quite surprisingly loyal and someone to be counted on in a pinch, despite her lazy nature. She gets along best with people who are self starters, motivated, and curious as well.  It's also terribly hard to offend her by virtue of intelligence, because she doesn't have that type of pride - unless someone is going out of their way to make her feel stupid. After all, if she doesn't know something, and someone else does, the only way to find out is for them to explain it.

Brief Background
***************

Obviously not a natural native of Felarya, Kalypsa is the product of a summoning spell gone horribly wrong. Apparently the warlock was intending to summon a high level dread steed, but at some point in the incantation he botched it with part of another incantation. As a result Kalypsa was dragged through the twisting nether, the combination of a giant succubus and a dread steed. Once she was in the living plane, she quickly took advantage of a few loopholes in her summoner's first few requests to ensure that her stay would not be a brief one. After devouring him and everyone else in his coven, she was free of her bonds, and able to roam the planet as she pleased. With her new found freedom, she has taken a real liking to the life style of being a centaur and an inhabitant of Felarya.

Eating/Hunting habits
******************

Same as any centaur, run it down, scoop it up, and swallow it whole. She loves humans more so than any other small food, and will go out of her way to catch them over others. That doesn't remove nekos and other potential prey from the menu, but when she eats humans she can satisfy herself twice as much. After enjoying their taste physically, if it was indeed a rotten individual  that she's eaten, when they attempt to pass on she can eat them again.

Just because she likes to eat humans however, does not mean she's incapable of showing mercy or even befriending them. It's just a very rare thing…

Likes
*****

Eating, more eating, and even more eating. She loves to stretch her wings and move about as well. She also loves learning new things, and about everything in her surroundings - usually starting with whether or not it's edible. Spending time with what friends she does have also seems to put a smile on her face along with causing mischief.

Dislikes
*******

Hunger, and people she considers to be a buzz kill. She doesn't like being bored either. She also doesn't like when warlocks show up and try to control her.

Special Abilities of Note
*********************

Of all the abilities she has, flight is probably the most notable. When she drops her disguise and runs, her wings flap, but she is actually able to fly simply by running into the air, and continuously while moving through the air. While doing so she typically leaves short trail of flaming hoof prints in the skies. It should be noted that if she's hunting while doing this, she'll let out a terrifying laugh and taunt her prey via rhyme as she closes in. She's also able to throw fireballs and do other things with flames, all over the neon green persuasion.
