PERSONAL STYLE: Kalii is not a very big woman by any stretch of the imagination. But, don't let that fool you. In fact, a lot of times she can use her smaller size to her advantage. An athletic build with very smooth toned muscles, strong and fast without the bulk.
Kalii is a chameleon when it comes to her style. As part of the military she had to wear military uniforms for their missions, she still tends to wear similar style clothing when she's doing field work. Cargo pants with lots of pockets, tank tops and t-shirts, combat style boots and the like. Outside of that she can wear just about anything depending on the circumstances.
For the most part, Kalii likes to keep things casual and comfortable. She doesn't need to constantly look in a mirror. She is very confident in the way she looks. Enough guys in her life have come on to her for her to know she's attractive to the opposite sex.
She is partial to leather, leather pants, long leather coat, and leather over the knee, stiletto heeled boots. But, she also frequently wears t-shirts and jeans. She knows how to dress for the occasion if necessary. It's not her favorite thing in the world to wear a frilly dress but she will if the occasion calls for it.
Kalii can rock a short skirt and cropped top like nobody's business though.
Personality
GENERAL PERSONALITY:
Kalii is street smart and it shows. She is bold and up front. Not afraid to speak her mind or to stand up and defend it. Kalii is the type to kick ass and ask questions later.
Of course as with most people she has another side to her, she is a multifaceted complex person. She can show a bit more of a softer side with certain people in certain situations. A lot really depends on the other person and how she is approached. Some people she may bond with right off the bat, but others it may take a lot of work to get to know her, some people she may never take too.
While it might take some time, patience and possibly avoiding getting their ass kicked if someone takes the time to get to know here she can be a very nice person. Once she knows a person. trusts them, and considers them a friend or family, then she is loyal and would do anything to protect those close to her. Kalii runs on her emotions and can become very passionate about things both good and bad.

Prophetic dreams and such on occasion. (These are generally connected to supernatural beings that are possibly in the area or will possibly cross her path at some point)

Since her mother had taken her away from her father she didn't get the training and knowledge of her abilities that she should have. She should have been training her whole life to know how to use her powers but she was thrown into it with no knowledge.
History
Kalii grew up in the streets of the tough South Boston neighborhoods. She never new her father and her mother was an abusive alcoholic until she died. Because of her difficult childhood, even though she is extremely smart she had to work hard to stay on track and get through school. She knew that school was probably her only way to make it out of repeating the life of her mother so she worked hard to keep her grades good so she could get a scholarship and go to college.
When she graduated high school, she did get some scholarships and grants. One of them being through the Army ROTC program. So, she went to college and upon graduation went on to the Army. She had high test scores and did well throughout her ROTC and OCS training. It turned out that she was an excellent soldier. When she got to choose her specialty she choose Aviation and became a helicopter pilot.
Kalii is proficient in weapons of all kinds but she does have a special place in her heart for knives and other bladed weapon. She is an expert at kicking butt and taking names. She keeps herself in peak physical condition working out regularly as well as just being extremely active. Kalii has had training with the military in hand to hand combat along with martial arts training she has done since she was young.
All her life she didn't know anything about her family. When she was twenty-five, she noticed some strange things happening to her. She was stronger and faster than she ever was. Her senses were sharper. It was odd and she had no idea what was happening to her.
Not long after these things started happening she was approached by a lawyer and was told that her grandfather George Duran was a wealthy business man who was the CEO for a major corporation based in Chicago. He had died and left everything to her. She tried to question the lawyer but all he had was a sealed letter for her.
The letter contained information that explained her family history. The letter informed her that she was the next in line for the family legacy. Upon the death of both her father and her grandfather she would become the next immortal of their line. If she was reading the letter, that meant that those events had occurred.
The letter went on to explain that her mother had left her father and they hadn't been able to find her for some time. She also learned that her father had died several years ago and that her grandfather died just recently, around the same time the strange things started happening.
It was now her duty to fight for the light and protect the innocent from supernatural beings. She was granted certain powers to do this. Immortality being one of them, the only way she could be killed was to be decapitated. The legacy also meant that it was also part of her responsibilities to continue the line. The powers are always inherited by a direct descendent of their family. One of her future children would be next in line.
The letter also mentioned that there was another line of immortals. It was their duty to fight for the dark, it was a way to keep balance. They were also her natural enemy. There were not further details about that.
Normally, Kalii would have thought that it was a load of crap, but after what had been happening to her and reading the letter several times she couldn't help but believe it was true. The fact that when she followed up on the letter's instructions and discovered she had indeed inherited a good size fortune just confirmed it for her.
Since Kalii was still in the Army she continued to do her duties. She did her best to make sure no one discovered how things had changed for her. Though she felt like she needed to put her abilities to the test, not to mention if it could help save others, she couldn't just stand idly by. She finished her six year stint in the Army making it to the rank of Captain and with several accommodations for courage and bravery. She was an excellent pilot and soldier but she did have issues with authority. So, when her commitment was done, she resigned her commission and went back to 'civilian' life and began to try and figure out what the hell all this 'immortal' business meant.
RP Sample
Kalii raised an eyebrow in amusement at Lieutenant Jordan as the man spoke. He had a way about him. An easiness on the outside, with something else boiling underneath the surface. He was a character for sure, definitely a witty one. A wicked little smirk playing on her lips as he spoke about his psychiatric evaluation and his apparent ensuing exploits with a psychiatrist. This one was something else all right."Really, that's interesting. The shrink they sent me to was all man and you don't look the type to swing that way. So, they must have more than one. I do recall there was some whimpering involved though, on his part. Leave them beggin' for more I always say. Hence, the glowing review in my psych eval."
The truth was she didn't know shit about what was in her psych eval. But, she was damned sure going to find out. Seemed like they had some kind of access to their records here. If this guy knew, she was fairly certain she could find out. Not that she cared what it said, one way or another, she was just curious and a nosy bitch.
Nodding her head, Kalii listened as he he continued on, giving out more details on what he did around here. The grin was on her face again. Yeah, she'd wouldn't mind some one on one training time with him, even if she didn't really need it. You could never get enough training in or sparring. There was always something to learn. Kalii was smart, she knew how to glean the right information, process it, learn from it. Even if her skills were already honed, you could never ever think you know everything. Thoughts like that put you and everyone around you in danger. It was all about adapting and overcoming.
Kalii licked her lower lip absently as she eyed him. Giving him another assessing review, a deeper more probing once over. She took in his face, his eyes, they glimmered with mischief. He made jokes but there was also an underlying seriousness in his tone and body language. And... Oh yeah, that body. It was something she'd like to see more of.
Tuning herself back into his words, she pulled her gaze away from his broad chest and muscular arms, then looked him in the eye. She laughed when he mentioned she might be able to drop him on his ass. It was the truth, she probably could and she got the distinct feeling he'd probably enjoy that."Aah, what am I? Hybrid, shifter? Nah cowboy. I'm all woman, trust me on that one."
Smirking at him again she took a couple steps closer to him and spoke in a low even tone. Complete seriousness resounding in her voice."I could ride you at a gallop until your legs buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even dreamed of. I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.(*)"
She took a slight step back, giving him his space back then gave him a wink. Swiveling her neck around some to loosen it up, she cocked her head to the side a bit as she thought. She never really knew how to explain what exactly she was. In this case though, at least he knew about what was out there. It probably wouldn't come as a shock to him."Seriously though. That nickname I told you about. Slayer. That's pretty much it. I was born into this wacky prophecy thing, called a vampire Slayer. Though, that's a bit of a misleading title right there. I was what they like to call a chosen one. Basically, I was born to kick evil ass, be it vampire or any other unearthly type. I've got superior strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and all that jazz. Then the government snapped me up and decided to do a little upgrading. So, between my 'calling' as a Slayer and the military, I've been training since I was 15. I can kick your ass ten ways to Sunday and there isn't a weapon made yet that I can't handle."
Eyeing him again she watched his face for a reaction. Most guys were intimidated when they heard that. The idea that she could probably kick their ass wasn't always in the plus category when it came to men. Somehow, she didn't think that would be a problem with this one. A smile spread across her face."I haven't seen much of the place. But, from what I have seen, it's pretty impressive. Top of the line and state of the art all the way. So, what is the deal here?"
She let her eyes linger on him a moment. That last statement having more meaning behind it than just what the deal was with the facility. What exactly was his deal, she'd like to find out.
