Physical Appearance:
Kalas is distinctly demonic in that he possesses two, short horns that sprout from his forehead. Despite the notion that "Bigger is Better", for Demon Princes, the shorter your horns the stronger you are. Since you are more able to control the output of your demonic energy. His skin is also a dark grey/light charcoal colour with darker scarification marks that punctuate it in some strange artistic fashion, easily denoting him as something beyond a Human being. Finally he has a long, lithe tail that he tends to keep hidden beneath his clothing.
Aside from the notable demonic features, Kalas' physique is pretty much what you'd expect from a young, Human male at his absolute athletic peak.
Attire:
Kalas dresses himself in age-old Demon Prince fashion, though most other Princes of his generation have converted to a much more Human wardrobe. He prefers this style of attire, however, due to it being perfect for his role as a Battle Mage. Thick, dark leathers usually make up the upper garments, namely jackets and robes, with cotton or silk undershirts for comfort. His lower half is, most of the time, clothed in tanned leather pants that cling to his legs but not so much that it would be detrimental to his flexibility. His shoes are simple, hard-leather boots. He has, however reinforced the soles with metal to enhance their durability.
Personality:
Kalas is wise beyond his years. He doesn't often partake in foolish pursuits or practical jokes, preferring to focus on the task at hand. He is understanding and willing to make time for those who ask for his help. During battle or on a mission, Kalas remains a staunch leader, often being the first into the fray. He takes joy in being in the thick of battle but always insists on a well oiled plan before the chaos ensues. He holds little time for cowards and will leave them behind in an instant, a comrade who is injured, however, he will protect with his life if need be.
Weapons & Equipment:
Osebon - A 6 ft tall, Titanium-A plated staff, capable of withstanding and channeling immense heat and blazing fire. Kalas' main weapon. He utilizes this staff mainly on a close-quarters basis. He is extremely adept in its' usage to dispatch numerous foes that may stand in his way.
Ahael - A 13" Dwarven-Forged Shortsword, slightly curved to allow for more slicing strikes than piercing or parrying. Kalas uses this weapon as his secondary, usually during times where stealth is preferred over sheer power.
Ability:
Fire Magic - Being a Demon Prince, Kalas' natural affinity is toward Fire. Coupled with the teachings of a centuries-old Flame Sage, Kalas has learnt to harness the power of Fire to create and release devastating attacks. He is able to channel this magic through his staff; Osebon, with practiced perfection.
Advanced Acrobatics - His demonic body grants him greater speed and strength than normal Humans, allowing him to perform incredible feats of athleticism. He uses this to his benefit predominantly whilst fighting, combining it effortlessly with his martial training.
Martial Artist (Staff) - Kalas has trained extensively with his staff for the application of combat. He has become so adept at using Osebon, it's as if it were an extension of his body. He combines his staff training with his Fire Magic as well as some limited Close-Quarters Combat maneuvers also.
Swordsmanship - When he received his sword; Ahael, as a gift, Kalas sought out an instructor to teach him how he could use it in combat. As such, he has learnt how to apply the use of this deadly weapon in various combat situations.
Brief History:
In Demonic Years, Kalas has been alive for a long time. Some say well over a thousand years, but even amongst his own kind, his true age is unknown. His early years remain a series of lost memories to him. His earliest memory is that of an ancient Flame Sage; Azhriel Lharne, who had taken him in as a son and a student. For what seemed like centuries, he lived and trained with the Sage, who would always warn him of a great darkness that would befall him and those around him. He maintained that only the brightest of his flames would be enough to dispel this dark evil.
More time passes and Kalas finds himself living amongst the people of RolePlayerGuild. A sprawling metropolis full of people from all races and walks of life. He was a member of the city guard to begin with before quickly rising to the rank of commander. He enjoyed his station, which saw frequent action outside of the city walls. But little did he or anyone else know that the constant attacks were the coming of the impending darkness that he had been warned about several centuries prior.
After the Guildfall Event, Kalas was one of the first to move, quickly coordinating the defensive efforts to seal off the Free Section and establish a checkpoint, which remains steadfast to this day. His act of heroics earned him a strong reputation within the ranks allowing his very presence to bolster the morale of any troops he joins in battle. He is currently working closely with I.D.R.I.S. and the Advanced Section Leadership find ways to overcome the various catastrophes that still remain within their beloved city. There are fierce rumours of the Leadership authorizing him to put together a High-Casual Battle Squad of hand-picked members who have fought well and proven their worth amongst the survivors.
Relationships:
S.W.O.R.D. - Being one of the most senior member's of the division, Kalas holds huge respect toward each and every member. He believes that without S.W.O.R.D. the population's chances of survival would have been next to none. Despite some people thinking that his Division is for a bunch of bloodthirsty killers, Kalas will defend S.W.O.R.D. over everything, even if it means burning a few bridges.
