Creation: April 2006

Background:
Kima was born outside a regular marriage. Her father was a wealthy Kurzick of the House of Lutgardis and her mother a Canthan of Linkei Township in Shing Jea Island. Kima grew up in Shing Jea Monastery, along with her half sister Iridia. They were very close even if they only shared a father, much like Emperor Kisu and Master Togo.

Kima always wanted control over her life: she always searched for eternal youth. As such, she became a Necromancer and studied exstensively the ways of the monks to have a complete understanding of how a body of flesh and bone operates, how an organ repairs itself, how magic affect its recovery or its decay. Minion mastery quickly became her main interest, but she never stopped studying healing magic as well.

Being an half-kurzick, she was never well seen by many other students in the monastery. Luxon ones blamed her for her heritage, and Kurzik ones for her half blood. Only full Canthan ones, and her half sister Iridia treated her as equal. As such, Kima grew to ignore the kurzick and the luxons, their stupid war and petty politic. She graduated at the monastery but decided to remain there longer, to continue her studies. When the Plague exploded in Cantha, Kima was overrun by concern. She received a letter from her sister Iridia, now residing in echovald Forest, about afflicted creatures starting to roam the continent.

When the news of the Plague reaching Linkei Township, an enraged Kima opened her path to the town, tearing through Sensali Tengus and Yeti to protect her mother. She helped defending the village, and as soon as the Plague subsided in the area, she left Shing Jea island to search for her sister. She did find her at the borders of Kaineng city. Iridia was helping the Imperial Guards to contain the plague, killing every afflicted that tried to leave the city from Maatu Keep. The supernatural illness was difficult to contain, and the two were forced on Kurzick borders. There they met a necromancer and her monk follower: Jenna and Medea. The tyrian necromancer talked about being tasked directly by Grenth himself in putting a stop to the plague, and informed the two sisters about what the god told her.

The Plague was caused by a Rogue Envoy: the ancient canthan traitor Shiro tagachi was abusing his powers, and was the real responsible of the illness that was ravaging the land. Jenna was probably really guided by the god of death: she guided them back into Kaineng City, and they managed to opened a path to the Imperial Palace, and they where there the very same moment Shiro seized it. They fought to keep open the gates as Master Togo and Mhenlo arrived from the Harvest Temple along with the legendary Kuunavang. Kima and Iridia helped them in the final stand. They helped stopping Shiro, they saved the Emperor, but weren't able to prevent the death of their Master.

After the battle, Kima learned about Medea's inability to control negative energies. Her studies made her knew about the problem, so she instructed the young monk in diverting her negative energies in a Flesh Golem. Keeping her powers infused in a creature under her control made the monk able to keep control over herself, and at the same time learning to control those powers as well. Kima joined Jenna's guild out of desire for research. The new guild was collecting many ancient books and text from all over the world, and Kima simply couldn't pass on the opportunity to discover some notion on controlling life energy even better. Years later, she was back in Shing Jea monastery, along with Medea, to meditate and assist at the Dragon Festival. Since the first day of celebrations, rumors of demons terrorizing the island ruined the celebrations. As Haiju Lagoon was in danger, and Linkei Township with it, she and Medea moved to fight the creatures spawning there. In Zen Daijun she met her sister Iridia, caught in a battle with some of those abominations. Iridia had a vision, and she knew where those demons came from. The three, along with the help of the Imperial Guard and of other adventurers on the island for the festival, managed to find the demonic portals that spawned those creatures, and closed them.

Personality
Kima is obsessed with eternal youth, and with the idea of total control over her life. She is the one that puts rules un her behavior, no one else. She believes that personal freedom, as long as that doesn't harm the freedom of others, is the simplest rule to follow in life. Being half Kurzik made her the center of many jokes from both Luxon and Kurzik, and that discrimination made her completely indifferent toward both nations's petty war. She hates discussing about who sparked the war. She simply despises them all, with the exception of her half sister Iridia, the only one that she could trust in childhood. Because of her past, she became cold, uncaring and emotionless with most persons and has difficulty open herself to others. But, if you manage to earn her trust, and become her friend, she'd kill for you. She deeply loves her whole Canthan landscape, and is often travelling in Echovald forest or through the Jade Sea without a real concern for the idiots that dare disturb her free exploration, being them Luxon or Kurzik.
