Kijani was a little surprised that this man also seemed to be a Communicator. Moreso that he was so open to talking about it. Thoth had sworn her to secrecy, which was easy as she really didn’t have anyone to tell.

“I was told ‘up’, more or less, so that is where I went.” She sighed softly. “At least there are two of us now.” She walked up to the shimmering air, and pressed her fingers against it. There was clearly something there, though she didn’t know what. “I’m not sure where to go from here.”

Before she could contact Thoth, however, the barrier beneath her fingertips gave way with a little pop of displaced air. She stumbled in a less than graceful fashion due to the surprise, but quickly regained stable footing and composure. A hand went to her kopesh, rather quickly considering how little she used it. Luckily, there was no need.

Before her was one of the most beautiful buildings she had ever laid eyes on. It gleamed in the light, almost dazzling her with its brightness. She stared at it, noting the lovely marble of the columns, the wide expanse of the stairs. Everything was perfect. Kijani was actually sad that she didn’t know more about architecture, otherwise she could understand the true beauty of the place.

“Well. I guess that answers that question.” She turned to the strange man nearby. “This must be a place fit for the Gods. Shall we?”

Kassandra
Location: Happy Harbour
Interaction: Aleen'a @baraquiel

What a day this was already, and they hadn’t even started actual training yet! The sudden addition of the Tamaranean princess was a surprise, albeit a welcome one. She had been wanting to get more girls on the team to balance out the testosterone factor. Still, there was something in her stomach that twisted. She’d met people like this before. Bright sparks that drew in everyone around them. Already two of the boys were drawn in like guppies to a lanternfish.

Before she could even consider making an introduction, they got their training instructions. It seemed they were to run that strange looking obstacle course. And… without her staff. That was unfortunate, as she could have cleared at least the wall and the pool for everyone with it. Which was… probably why Green Arrow did not want her using it at all. Reluctantly, she leaned it against a tree.

“Sorry Damiek, next time.” She fondly patted the little octopus figure on the top, and joined the others. Already Aleen'a was attacking the wall. It had to be made of stone or concrete. Just watching the princess go at it made her knuckles hurt. She reached for her staff, found empty air, remembered it was several feet away now, and frowned. If only she could fly, wouldn't that make things easier?

"Are you sure we're supposed to break the wall? Couldn't we go over it?"

I do need help please.

Ignore this

Currently? Started taking classes again. Currently working my way through a massive Medical Terminology textbook. Pray for me, yall.

Tiny and the Terminator [Mistress Dizzy & Shifter_Master]

It made sense to me just fine.

Sorry about the short post. A question that I think I may have missed in earlier posts. Is Jinny carrying her own gun for this hunt?

Tiny and the Terminator [Mistress Dizzy & Shifter_Master]

Jinny watched with careful attention as Slade demonstrated how to move quietly in the forest environment. She mimicked his steps for a few moments, walking in a circle to get the footing down. It was much quieter, but she found herself walking normally every few steps. It was going to take some practice. Then she tried climbing a tree, which was surprisingly difficult for her. She muttered to herself, poked herself with branches, said a few choice words that she shouldn’t probably know, and managed to make it to a sturdy branch.

“...that was hard.” She was just a bit out of breath, so she sat down on the branch with her feet swinging.

“I know I could have used my powers to fly up, but sometimes I don’t want to use them. What if I overdo it, or what if there’s something that takes my powers away? I have to be ready for that, right?” She wasn’t even sure that second thing existed beyond her own imagination, but it was definitely worth considering in her mind.

“I have to learn things the regular way just in case.” She stood and leapt from her perch, falling into a careful tumbling roll as she had been taught. Brushing herself off, she led the way again. Her feet were much quieter, but it was clear she was still getting the hang of it.

It took quite a bit more time, and there were more signs along the way. There was the faintest sound of water ahead. The source of it became much clearer, as a trickling stream came into view. Just ahead, having a nice drink of water, was their quarry, a fat, healthy looking rabbit.

“There it is.” Jinny whispered softly. It was completely defenseless, and so far, had not caught wind of them.

“…is this a good spot?” She looked around for other animals.

Star Wars: A Legend Reborn (Nobodyman123 and Mistress Dizzy)

"Hm. Interesting." He was handsome, that was for certain. He had the polished noble look down. But his motive was strange to Kijani. She saw the paparazzi party photos and while they gave her pause, she was able to dismiss them among the rest of what she found, which was generally positive. But his lack of a political bend made her curious. Why now, was he trying to line up with the Rebellion? Was there familial pressure to marry? If so, why her? Was it simply because the loss of Alderaan had opened his eyes to the ugly truth of the Empire? If so, there were plenty of other good, Rebel aligned families with suitable daughters.

This required more thought.

She fell asleep with the Holonet pad in her lap, exhausted and dreamless.

Kijani Ryane, Communicator of Thoth

[ BASICS ]

---

[ NAME ]
** Kijani Ryane **

[ AGE ]
** 20 **

[ GENDER ]
** Female **

[ COMMUNICATOR OF ]
** Thoth **

[ MYTHOLOGY OF (YOUR GOD) ]
Thoth was the god of the moon, sacred texts, mathematics, the sciences, magic, messenger and recorder of the deities, master of knowledge, and patron of scribes. His Egyptian name was Djehuty, which means “He who is like the Ibis.” He was depicted as an ibis bird or a baboon.

According to one story, Thoth was born from the lips of Ra at the beginning of creation and was known as the “god without a mother.” In another story, Thoth is self-created at the beginning of time and, as an ibis, lays the cosmic egg that holds all of creation. He was always closely associated with Ra and the concept of divine order and justice.

Thoth was credited with creating the art of writing, inventing the calendar, and controlling space and time. Since he was the god of the moon, he had celestial functions and replaced the sun god, Ra, in the sky at night.

Thoth helped the funerary deities as a messenger and bookkeeper for them. He was responsible for recording the verdict of the heart-weighing ceremony that determined if the person was able to continue on to the Afterlife. If the person’s heart (spirit) balanced with Ma’at’s Feather of Truth, they passed. However, if the heart was heavier than the feather then the person did not pass. Thoth always provided guidance for the deities and regulated common everyday complaints and created new laws. Thoth suggested that if a problem couldn’t be solved, then a group should get together as an assembly and discuss it.

[ 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 ]

Thoth’s invocation is twofold. When he appears, he speaks into every Communicator’s mind and allows them to conference mentally from miles and miles apart. The limits of this power (how many people, how far away, etc.) are currently unknown.

As the god of the moon, Thoth’s second ability involves the pull of gravity. He can increase and decrease gravity within a given space. This is definitely a more extreme power, and Kijani is not aware that this is even on the table.

[ 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.

/ / H A L C Y O N / /

For the millionth time since she started climbing this mountain, Kijani Ryane wondered if being a Communicator was going to work for her.

The bitter cold seemed to seep through her heavy mountain climbing gear. She had experienced plenty of winters in the various cities that she’d visited in her life. But this weather blew them all away. The isolation, too, was maddening. If she didn’t have Thoth guiding her steps and occupying a bit of mental space, she probably would have gone insane between the freezing temperatures and the blinding greyish-white scenery.

Couldn’t the gods have located themselves on a tropical island?

Thoth had warned her that there would be monsters. At first she thought something was lost in translation. Certainly there could be animals, large ones, on the mountain. But when she caught an actual glimpse of one – far too large and bipedal to be even the biggest of bears – she found herself actually sweating within her freezing gear and going, clammy-palmed, for her kopesh. She had been training with it since this whole endeavor started, but still felt uncomfortable with her weapon in hand. She had never taken a life – unless you counted the occasional mosquito or spider – and she didn’t plan on starting now. Though, if it came down to it, she didn’t feel like she would hesitate to save her own life.

Thoth had been directing her since the base of the mountain, giving her a difficult climb but one mostly free from monsters. She was a thinker, not a fighter. Or she was now, anyway.

“You will have to become adept with my weapon, you understand. If not now, then very soon.” Was her god’s advice to her.

Truthfully, she was enjoying the other aspects of her power. Being able to understand all the languages was a great help, even if it did mean a bit of a headache when she was translating too much at once. The paper ability was strange, but wonderful. The scroll fascinated her. If only she could just get the swordplay down.

The sky started to change as she approached the top of the mountain. It cleared somewhat, and the air shimmered like the sun off asphalt. But there was no heat. Exactly what was she dealing with here? Then she noticed the only other human soul she’d seen in hours. “...Hello there.” She had no idea who it was, and kept herself terse.
