[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Khisanth/Onyx
FANDOM: Dragonlance
CHRONOLOGY: After Tate's surprise attack, before the Black Wing's return assault.
CLASS: Ambiguous villain! She's been made aware of the existence of good, and sometimes likes to dabble in it, but is still in essence an evil dragon.
SUPERHERO NAME: Khisanth
ALTER EGO: Onyx, MCDONALDS WORKER?? She will be aghast at the idea of having a job and will probably avoid that concept all together.
TL;DR: BACKGROUND:
Dragons are totally hax and way too godmode, so the good guys made the evil goddess put them away. She put them all to sleep, things were fine and dandy. Then some two-foot-tall assholes woke one of them up because the last female of their species had just been captured by humans and they wanted her help or something, god, what inconsiderate jerks. Khisanth was totally going to blow them off, only then they offered to teach her to shapechange in exchange. She figured she could always eat them if that didn't work out, so she agreed.
She turned human to go undercover! Oops, humans are kinda emotional, she wasn't ready for that one. She's easily seduced and easily fucked over! And also the nymphid she was supposed to save got killed! Oops. But it's okay, because she finds the guy that fucked her over and eats his face off. The rest of the nymphids die, so Khisanth does a Kanye shrug and goes off to live in nice comfy swamp.
She meets an old guy dragon! She tells him to be less of a fucking pussy, and exchange he teaches her magic. Cool deal! Only then they're whisked away to the elemental plane of lightning, and that lightning elemental is an asshole. He pops them back out into the real world in the middle of an enemy's liar. Her old guy buddy turns out to be a giant fucking pussy in the end, so after killing the enemy and his little hussy dragon, she kills her old buddy too. It's okay, he was probably gonna die soon anyway. Too bad he didn't have any good shit to steal.
She enlists in the army! On the condition that no stinkin' humans are allowed to ride her, because she's way too awesome for that. Since she's so sexy and cool and awesome, the Highlord says yeah whatever enjoy Private rank forever. She Kanye shrugs and goes riderless. Makes BFFs with the highest ranked dragon! The other dragons are assholes, though. SO MUCH SO that they go sell out the whole army for some nice slices of swamp. Meanwhile, Khisanth forms an inexplicable attachment to the leader of the knights that like to fuck with her army. She manages to bite his face off too, but feels a little bad about it afterward. Her BFF dies. That's sad. Her god tells her to stop fucking around and takes a rider, so she takes her ex-BFF's rider. She realizes that her ex-BFF's rider killed her ex-BFF. Kanye shrug! Two years later he tries to do the same thing to her, and she bites his face off. It's a good way to solve problems.
If you want to read forever and ever, the full history is here!
PERSONALITY:
Black dragons, on the whole, are evil creatures. They're unpredictable and unreliable, driven by greed, self-aggrandizement, and self-preservation, in that order, and Khisanth is certainly no exception to the generalization. They're your typical treasure-hoarding evil dragon, straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Intelligent enough to mock humans, cruel enough to do it right before killing them. And, again, Khisanth fits the bill. She's petty, she's easily offended, she has a childish and insistent sense of retribution and revenge, and she's impossibly vain. These are, again, traits common to all black dragons.
But Khisanth also manages to be a little different. She spent a good part of her limited life in the company of two undeniably good creatures. Kadagan and Joad taught Khisanth something that no black dragon ever learns: they taught her patience. With patience came the ability to see past useless rage and petty greed. Khisanth can even rise above evil intentions and mindless cruelty, if she sees fit to. The problem is that she rarely does see fit to. Still, the possibility for it remains, and every time that she fails to act thoughtfully or responsibly, she finds yet another one-up on her fellow dragons. She recognizes her failures as such, and can learn from them.
In addition to this unusual capacity for rationality, she's seen more worlds than most dragons can claim to have, through her shapechanging. She understands, albeit begrudgingly, a human's perspective. She's been human, she's felt the sweep of emotions that goes with the change. And because that sweep of emotion got her betrayed, she's far more guarded against ever letting herself be carried away by them again. But she understands her capacity to feel them, and is far more comprehending of the sensation than any other dragon would be. It should also be noted that when she changes, her entire mentality makes a subtle shift. If she takes the shape of a small, nervous animal, she'll find herself furtive and darting far more often. As an aggressive animal, she's more likely to attack, and will be fighting urges to do so. And so, as a human, she's more emotional. The change is a subtle one, but it builds. The longer she spends as a human, the less she acts like a dragon. She doesn't notice this change until she's a dragon again, and can look back on her own actions and decisions with a clearer mind. It took Khisanth just two days as a human to begin envisioning teaming up with Led to conquer the world with him- visions she looked back on with disgust and derision once she was a dragon again. And so while she's more likely to guard against the rapid swing of emotions she experiences as a human, they do start to build for her. It stands to reason that if she spent any more time as a human, she could be swept away entirely by the unfamiliar emotions she experiences.
Once or twice in her life, Khisanth has even been victim to feelings of duty, respect, and even rarer - pity. These are also foreign to the nature of a black dragon, but Khisanth has formed stronger relationships than dragons tend to. Solitary creatures by nature, Khisanth has defied these inclinations often enough to form another rarity: friends. In Pteros, Khisanth found a dragon she could look up to. He was old, wise, and knowledgeable. And, yes, he was a coward, and contemptuous for that, but she still felt enough gratitude (and pity) for him to forgive him his cowardice and put him out of his misery in the end. In Jahet, Khisanth found something even more valuable. The other female provided her with an equal. Khisanth respected Jahet, even going so far as to seek her body to give it a proper burial after Jahet had been killed. Jahet had been the only dragon Khisanth had ever met that hadn't betrayed her, and for that Khisanth really, truly, and unexpectedly liked her.
So, while Khisanth easily succumbs to the natural self-serving, and violent inclinations common to all black dragons, she's also capable of rising above them. She can see past her own greed and desires now and then, and she can even go so far as to have relationships resembling those humans are more familiar with.
POWER: Khisanth has two main abilities. One is the art of qhen, which is a mental discipline more than a magical skill. Think of it as zen. At its most simple, it allows her to calm herself, reason her way out of anger, and behave logically - far more logically than most greedy, rage-driven dragons. It also allows her to understand the general Nature of Things, and so shapechange into any animal she sees. The change is instant, but it's not an exact copy. Just as she turns into her own version of a human every time, she turns into her own version of a badger every time.
The second power is more varied, and comes naturally to all dragons. It's never concretely defined, but it seems to be a manifestation of will. If a dragon pictures its immediate area cloaked in darkness, that will happen. If a dragon pictures a particular treasure of theirs suddenly smaller and easier to carry, it will happen. It requires concentration, but no spell components or incantations. For sake of not going insane or being too godmody, I've compiled a list of every example of magic Khisanth displays in canon, and I'll keep her use of it limited to these.
-Extinguish light
-Create fog
-Create flame at fingertips, fireball with enough concentration
-Shrink/grow objects
-Teleport short distances if she can envision the area
-Telepathically nudge heavy objects
-Create swirling lights/colors to blind
-Rain icicles from the sky
-Form a bubble shield
-Hasten movement
-Create illusions- including those for other senses, including smell.
-Mimic any voice perfectly
-Create "recordings" to be played back from animals or inanimate objects
-Blood mingling (allow her to see into the heart of someone else, and vice versa)
-Form invisible walls
Basically: general dragon magic, and shapechanging.
