»Entrancing Tobacco Pipe: One of the only pieces of equipment Khulan carries with her is a long, east-asian style tobacco pipe which is endlessly burning. While not a necessary part of her combat by any means, Khulan is capable of expelling a thin but pleasant smelling smoke from the end of her pipe and from her mouth. Anybody who smells said smoke will fall under the influence of her limited, but powerful, deception based abilities which will be detailed below. Due to being rather combat averse, Khulan's smoke is mostly used as a deterrent and meshes quite well with her mischievous persona. For the most part, this pipe is extremely hard to break and is on par with even zanpakuto.




» Mischievous Persona: Although a personality trait, one of her most interesting traits is her consistantly mischievous and trickster like personality. She isn't mischievous like a jester, more cunning. Pulling the strings behind the scenes, or mildly warping the senses and perception of reality. That being said, there is a part of her that acts out of fun, and she will often mess with people like a true trickster would.

» Combat Averse: She is very rarely found in combat. And even when she is forced into a situation where combat might be a requirement, she will use her powers and take precautionary measures to avoid having to fight at all.

» Incredible Cook:

» Master Linguist:

» Martial Arts Inept: Unlike many of the other Koshin, Khulan is actually rather terrible at hand to hand combat. Though she has no inherit weapon or way of fighting outside of the manipulation of her own energy, she will often rely on her deceptive traits more than anything.

Spoiler:

In her true form, she sits at 9'5 tall and has almost no detectable spiritual energy.

» True Form Abilities: As the Oni of deceit, Khul has all of her powers corresponding to this directly.

• » Shivnekh (Шивнэх, Whisper): One of her most harrowing and powerful abilities, Khulan is capable of turning specific "suggestions" to fill someone's thoughts and overtake their physical perception. As she is capable of melding her own form in a variety of ways, when she whispers to someone successfully, she implants a tremendous fear or doubt into a mind. Not only will it grow substantially worse and worse over time, but the longer this deception controls their thoughts, Khulan is capable of pulling the strings directly in this illusion to higher efficiency. This can be overcome with a powerful will or snapped out of it by a comrade, and also requires Khulan to not be physically seen - like leaning over a shoulder and whispering it into someone's ear. Whatever takes hold is based on the words she whispers, which can be something as simple as "Hey, you smell that meat cooking?" or something terrible like "Why aren't you helping your friends? They're dying, one by one." This is not an absolute control, as small portions of the "whisper" can give away it's fake nature, but is hidden among the doubt and fear that often begins to overwhelm the target.
  
  
• » Tamkhi Tatdag (тамхи татдаг, Hazing Smoke): With each puff of smoke, her entire vicinity begins to fill with a hazed and pleasant smoke. This is the same smoke she can expel during her human form, albeit on a much larger scale. The smoke infects anyone who smells it's pleasant aroma of Sandalwood, and the moment this happens, the affected individual's senses become hazed. During this haze, Khulan is able to create multiple bodies of herself, and eveninflict warped and chaotic concepts onto seemingly mundane parts of their reality. As a representation of deceit, Khulan can make the affected individual see her form in different ways. This can be as something simple like a small squirrel that seems harmless, or something much more monstrous than her already gigantic true form. In reality, she does not actually become these concepts, but the in this world of deception and confusion, the affected individuals will see her as such. The best way to imagine this is by directly controlling visual and audio input, dragging them into her world of deception and scratching away reality one piece at a time when she wills it. This can, once more, be overcome by avoiding the aroma all together - however is also susceptible to spiritual disruption. If one's will is solid, and expel enough spiritual pressure in an attack, they can temporarily break this haze that clouds their mind.
  
  If someone is also able to overcome the fact that this is an illusion, a deception of reality, then they can also overcome this power. An extraordinary will that would require someone to forget everything their senses are telling them, and work based on their gut alone. This haze can affect someone for five turns the moment they smell this haze, but can also be turned off if Khulan wishes. Khulan can also apply this haze once every five posts, so if someone breaks out she cannot apply it again until that duration is up. This can also be cancelled if they can contain or otherwise stop themselves from smelling that aroma of pink smoke.
