Personality:
Kira is an unusual lass, acting much like the two men she spends her life travelling with. Boyish and often arrogant, she will always give into her impulses and downright insult anyone getting on her nerves. Her fiery attitude often burns many who would speak to her in a distasteful way, and she has always believed in being as strong and independent as possible. From her hard years growing up, she has learned to never trust anyone and to always be proud of what makes her different - those bad-mouthing her tiefling appearance are as likely to recieve a serious crack around the head as they are to see her simply laugh it off. She is often reserved on her own, but does not fear a good shout, or conversation.
The misfortune she endured growing up ensured that her capacity for benevolence, or good nature, was severely damaged. Combined with her tiefling tendencies to enjoy destructive behaviour, she is very often volatile, or simply incredibly cruel and lacking in morality to those around her. It would not be unreasonable to say she is often borderline evil in her actions. Her tough exterior, and confident, stubborn nature, is her defence against how shattered she truly feels inside. Anyone attempting to explain this to her, however, is in great danger of physical violence.
It is because of her life experiences that a select few things trigger her innermost repressed anger, causing her to act completely on enraged impulses. She tries to prevent herself from being so irrational, but finds it incredibly hard almost every time to keep calm, especially on her own, once something has really struck a bad chord.
However, she also possesses a remarkable ability to care alongside her immense apathy. She is caring, loyal and prudent, finding a soft spot for those she can relate to. Having no family other than her close friends in the Black Hawks, she holds them closer than anyone else, and will go incredible lengths to protect them. Because of how easily she can swing from a pleasant and talkative mood, to a much more hositile one, it is often hard to gauge her motives or interest in a lot of situations.

Biography:
Abandoned to the World of Men
Kira's birth fifty eight years ago took place in a location that would never be revealed to her, forever losing the answer to a question she would always ask. At just two months of age, her parents would abandon her to an orphanage in Mahjpat, a city located on the Sidan coast. It was here she would grow up, spending the first ten years of her life in bitter acceptance of her fate. Within the orphanage, she was treated with contempt because of her demonic appearance, often picked on but never physically bullied because of the repulsing effect she had even from an early age. Her name was, at this point, unknown to her. She would never learn what name she had been given, or more accurately what name her parents had refused to give her when they let her go. When she had been delivered to Mahjpat, she had been referred to as a demon, and that would be her only name.
She would escape the orphanage in the year she turned eleven, finding her way onto the streets to explore and make her way amid various street gangs. Living as a urchin, she survived by stealing from the merchant stalls whenever she could, and found it beneficial to travel with the older children, who were skilled in picking the deep pockets of nobles out for a stroll. She never learnt pickpocketing as a skill from these older children, but she would learn a greater lesson that would stick with her forever.
Trust
On a particularly busy day on the Mahjpat high-street, when Kira was seventeen, though much younger physically because of her altered aging process, she was travelling with a group of street kids, about two years her senior. Though the concept of friendship had long been ruined for her, having grown up practically in solitude and disillusionment, she could still see the benefits of placing enough trust in a select group to travel around with them. She had chosen them because they had shown the least disgust in her long, seven inch horns, and chose to pay more attention to her skills as a fast runner. Their plan was to distract a merchant from his stall, long enough to keep him from noticing Kira and the others stealing his assortment of jewellery.
It all went smoothly, the oldest boy talking convincingly about the offer of a job to the merchant, and the three others approaching silently from behind. Kira was the last to go, watching the two others make off with an impressive amount. When she reached the stall, it was time for her to play her part, and her hand slowly crept out for a beautifully crafted jewelled necklace. It was then that the cries of the merchant rang out, and she looked up with nothing but shock to see the oldest boy pointing his finger right at her, and yelling for the guards.
Before she could run, the two boys that had made off previously took hold of her arms, and rushed her forwards in front of the stall and onto the street. Guards took over from there, thanking the other boys for their contributions, and hurling the young tiefling girl to the floor. With a swift motion, they drew their swords, one placing his blade at Kira's wrist and preparing to take her hand. The merchant, however, protested and walked over with a snarl, quickly motioning for the guards to hold her in place. Her eyes widened, as she was held flat on her back, and he stood near her head, shaking his head and cursing her demonic nature in Sidan. His boot raised high, with a scowl crossing his face.
Her left horn, young and brittle, splintered at its base as the weight of the merchant came bearing down on it. The pain was unbearable, sickening vibrations shooting through every part of her body. She found herself screaming, just before the other boot snapped her right horn cleanly in two. The world went black, but through the agony she stayed conscious enough to feel herself lifted, dragged and thrown into a cold prison cell.
Freedom
After four long years spent in a Sidan prison, blamed for crimes that the Guard found it easy to pin on an urchin demon girl, Kira was allowed to walk free. She was required to sign her name, and after a long, fiery stare at the guardsman asking her to do so, requested she be recorded as "Kira Fyne" - the name she had spent four years devising for herself. It sounded strong to her, and had a familiar ring on the cold nights she would repeat it to herself.
In prison, she had never spoken a word, nor had she requested any help. She sat alone, for four years straight, thinking as she gazed at the stars in the night sky that were barely visible through a barred window on the wall, and searching inside herself for a purpose in life. It was something she would never find, however, this stay in prison serving only as a harrowing assurance that she would never trust anyone but herself. Such concepts as friendship and compassion were lost to her now, furthering her descent into a disillusioned, borderline sociopathic apathy.
When she was released, she would set out to find another calling, further along the Sidan coast.
Reclamation
It would be eleven years ago, when Kira was 48 years old, that she would meet William Arkhauser and Thordi Grimsborith.

Skills:
Pyromancy - Kira chose the path of magical fire, it being the only path avaliable to her and racially granting her a boon in its use. Since meeting William Arkhauser, she was inspired to begin re-learning a craft she truly always wanted to explore. As a sorcerer-style caster, she whispers in order to complete her invocations and cast a spell. - Using her staff to channel most magic she casts, primarily the high-level spells in her arsenal, Kira has a variety of spells that she has picked up formally and informally over the years. Even now, she is still learning:
Fireball - The most basic of spells, Kira channels a quick moving, small ball of fire from her staff. Unless charged for a while, it tends to merely panic and distract when it impacts and quickly disippates. - Without the staff, she can merely lob a small, but a much slower rate and a shorter distance. It arcs, much like a stone when thrown.
Heated Blast - Using just her hands, Kira can heat the air enough to release a powerful pressured burst of hot wind. Channelled through the staff, it is much more focused, but takes a little more time.
Engulf - Kira channels her magic in such a way as to wrap flames around an object, using energy in proportion to the size of the target. The flames harm that on the outside, but leave the inside unscathed. She does not need the staff to do this.
Ignite - Allows Kira to set alight small objects, or small areas with a touch of her staff.
Infernal Spear - Channelling fire into a burning hot stationary mass at the end of her staff Kira is able to fix the flames to the tip and wield the weapon like a spear. It is quite taxing to invoke this, however. She has practiced to the point that she knows a few tricks and flourishes with the infernal spear.
Melee Combat - Kira knows which part of her staff hits the hardest, and can swing it in a primitive fashion. Either way, clonking someone with it is gonna hurt. - Hand to hand, she doesn't know much past merciless scratching, headbutting or tail-whipping, but her tiefling nature makes her melee quite a fearsome thing.
Tiefling: Racial Abilities - Kira has enhanced stamina, allowing her to cast more spells before becoming too tired. She can also run noticeably faster, and regain her breath much easier. - Her eyes grant her excellent vision in the dark. - Conversely, she cannot use any magic aside from Pyromancy and Demonic types - but finds that magic significantly strengthened.
Quote :
Alignment: True Neutral Deity: None - In her brief time in Occitan, she found the saints Geschwarzt and Meyer to be very interesting. - The Patron Saints of FIRE and LIFE, respectively. Weapon: None - Being a tiefling, she is naturally skilled in pyromancy and usually decides to forgo any glamour with her weapon. Apparel: Kira is never seen without her blackened, floor length robes. They have shorter sleeves than normal, to accomodate her fiery tendencies. Misc. Inventory:
A pouch containing 347 shillings, and small bacon treats for Hanard.
So, what can I say? Awesome character, works beautifully with the rest of our group and I obviously think it should be accepted.
Kruggly is more then capable of RPing such a character, and everyone knows him to be one of the best RPers around. I don't see why you couldn't have such a character.
