Kuei-jin’s Name: Ki Nà (means blood scorpion)
Kuei-jin’a Personality:
At her core, Ki Nà is fiercely independent, confident, and driven. She is a true Scorpion-eater, fully embracing the power and danger that comes with her unique Kuei-jin Dharma. Her personality is shaped by a few key traits:
Ambitious: Ki Nà is constantly striving to better herself and rise through the ranks of the Kuei-jin world. She is driven by a deep desire for power and influence, which she sees as key to survival in the cutthroat world of the undead. This drive can sometimes come across as ruthless or manipulative, but Ki Nà sees it as a necessary trait to succeed in her role as a Scorpion-eater.
Confident: Ki Nà exudes confidence in all areas of her life. She trusts her instincts, relies on her own strength and skills, and has faith in her ability to navigate any situation. This confidence can sometimes border on arrogance, but it also gives her a sense of control and authority that others find compelling.
Calculating: Ki Nà is a natural strategist, always looking for ways to gain an advantage or stay one step ahead of her enemies. She is meticulous in her planning and execution, carefully weighing risks and rewards before taking action. This can sometimes make her seem cold or detached, but she sees it as a necessary trait to survive in her role as a Scorpion-eater.
Fierce: Ki Nà is a fierce warrior, both physically and mentally. She is not afraid to fight for what she believes in, and she is willing to take risks to achieve her goals. This ferocity can sometimes make her seem aggressive or intimidating, but it also gives her a sense of strength and resilience that others admire.
Loyal: Despite her independent streak, Ki Nà is fiercely loyal to those she considers her allies. She values relationships built on trust and mutual respect, and she will go to great lengths to protect those she cares about. This loyalty can sometimes lead her into difficult or dangerous situations, but it also gives her a sense of purpose and community that she treasures.
Fanatically Devoted: Ki Nà is fanatically devoted to her Dharma, the Way of the Scorpion-Eater. She sees herself as an agent of destruction, tasked with purging the world of weakness and corruption. She is willing to do whatever it takes to uphold the tenets of her Dharma, even if it means sacrificing her own well-being.
Vengeful: Ki Nà has a long memory and is not one to forgive easily. She holds grudges against those who have wronged her or her clan, and she is always looking for ways to get revenge.
Proud: Ki Nà is fiercely proud of her heritage and her clan, and she believes that they are superior to all other Kuei-jin. She has a strong sense of honor and expects others to show her the respect she feels she deserves.
Scheming: Ki Nà is always plotting and scheming, looking for ways to gain an advantage over her enemies. She is a master strategist and can think several moves ahead of her opponents.
Motivations and Goals:
Devotion to Dharma: The Scorpion-Eater Dharma is centered around the idea of purging the world of weakness and corruption, and a Scorpion-Eater Kuei-jin like Ki Nà would likely be highly motivated by this goal. She sees herself as an agent of destruction, tasked with eliminating those who she sees as holding back the world or corrupting its natural order.
Desire for Power: Like many Kuei-jin, a Scorpion-Eater Kuei-jin may be driven by a desire for power and influence. Ki Nà sees herself as superior to other beings and feel a need to assert her dominance over them. This drive for power is motivation to engage in ruthless or manipulative behavior to achieve her goals.
Loyalty to Clan: She feels a strong sense of loyalty to her clan and the other members of her Dharma. She sees herself as part of a select group of elite beings with a shared mission, and this sense of community and belonging is a strong motivating factor.
Vengeance: She is motivated by a desire for revenge against those who have wronged her clan. She holds grudges from a long time ago and still seeks to eliminate those who have crossed her in the past.
Ideological Convictions: She is driven by strong ideological convictions, a belief in the superiority of her Dharma and a desire to rid the world of corruption and weakness, like the Cainite scourge. She sees herself as part of a grander struggle or movement and is motivated by a sense of duty to their cause.
Fear: It's possible that Ki Nà's actions are motivated by fear. Kuei-jin are inherently vulnerable creatures, and the world is full of powerful enemies. Ki Nà is driven by a deep-seated fear of death or destruction, and her actions are motivated by a desire to protect herself and her clan from harm.
Prompt Response:
Wake up.
That's what her body told her to do. No. Not her body. Someone was there urging her to awaken.
Did she want to? No. She felt stiff and sore and just utterly annoyed.
Frowning, she opened her eyes to stare at the individual who's voice had cut through the endless sleep that she had been in for... she had lost count of the years that had slipped past. That was an unsettling thought. She yawned and stretched, flicking a pointed tail as she sat up and stared at Ebon Dragon. A message from her Goddess. A frown creased her face. Those damned Cainites. Like dogs.
But now it was time for action. It was time to begin assessing her resources and determine who among her followers were the most capable and committed to the cause. From there, she would begin to strategize and plan, identify areas of weakness in her Dharma and seek ways to shore them up.
So much to do. So little time!
She licked her lips as a grin pulled her lips and bowed. "I hear and obey the call. It's time to party!"
