Hey Observer,
I was wondering if I might be able to join, even though the RP is already in progress. I promise that I've read the whole story so far, and if you let me, I'm sure I can find an unobtrusive way to introduce my character.
I've already got a character ready, just in case.
Name: Sable Yarean
Sex: Unknown (Shi doesn't let people know her sex. Ever)
Species: Half-Kemhuri (a half-Kemhuri is essentially a keidran with a roughly human lifespan/growth-rate)
Age: 19
Appearance: http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd52 ... e_01RS.jpg
Very similar to an arctic fox; Short, white fur; About 5'10". The backs of both hir hands as well as hir middle and ring fingers are black-furred. Shi has three thin, black marks across the bridge of hir nose. Sable has blue-gray eyes, but this can change frequently according to a number of factors. Sable appears very, very androgynous, making it impossible to tell hir gender.
Weapons: Small Nagadao (Polearm with a spear/poleaxe on one end of the handle, and a broadsword on the other. Note: it's small compared to other Nagadao, but it's still about two metres [~6.5 ft.] long). Bladed gauntlet (Left arm only; Light metal gauntlet, two slightly-curved blades extending from the bottom)
Possessions: Aforementioned weapons, brown, hoodless cloak (with scarf), several belts.
Abilities: Sable has minor shape-shifting abilities, making hir perfectly suited for assassination tasks. These abilities allow hir to change between a pure human, a half-Kemhuri, or a full Kemhuri, as well as making major aesthetic changes to any of hir forms. Despite any changes, Sable always retains the black markings across hir nose, and on hir hands. When Sable changes hir form significantly, the change will heal hir wounds, but this drains a significant amount of energy, meaning that changing or healing while fighting is generally a bad idea, causing hir to tire extremely quickly. Over the several years of almost constant changes, Sable has forgotten what shi originally looked like, and so now, shi assumes a strange, genderless form as her natural form, but often changes hir body for specific tasks. Sable has developed a secondary personality that shi uses to relieve the stress of the shapeshifting on hir natural personality. This personality rarely surfaces, but when it does, hir natural personality goes into remission while it recovers and the new personality has complete control.
Personalities:
Sable ( Half-Kemhuri) Usually very quiet and when shi does talk, it's almost always in a broken manner, with pauses in the middle of sentences (not in the middle of words though). When fighting a difficult opponent, Sable becomes hysterical, laughing wildly, oblivious to hir surroundings. When frustrated, aggravated, or otherwise distraught, shi refuses to speak at all and often walks away from the source of the problem without a word. This personality is nearly always in control of hir body.
Fao (Male Urai Kemhuri) Fao is much stronger than Sable and is a superior fighter, but he has only a small store of energy, which is made smaller when he emerges, since he only does so when Sable is gravely injured, and a great deal of his energy is used up in the change to his own form. Unlike Sable, Fao is unable to change forms and will thus always appear the same when he emerges. Fao is very misanthropic, and misses no opportunity to attack humans (verbally and physically). He speaks with a sharp rasp, making him difficult to understand on occasion.
Fao is about 8'-9' tall standing upright. He has long, white fur with dark red on his back, shoulders, and hips (all connected). Fao has golden eyes and lacks the black markings on his nose and hands that Sable always has.

Important Notes:
-When Sable changes forms, hir wounds heal, but the more injured shi is, the more energy is required to change.
-Fao is a completely separate personality, and often converses with Sable. This is one of the reasons Sable speaks little to others.
-Fao and Sable cannot share their energy with each other, and when either allows the other to take control, the energy required for the change is taken from whichever of the two is currently strongest
-When Fao emerges, their body automatically assumes his form, and he is not able to change forms like Sable is.
-Sable will always have black markings on hir nose and hands, but Fao lacks these marks (If Sable were to assume a form identical to Fao's, shi would still have the black markings, even though Fao does not have them).
