a brief look at the physical appearence and abilities of the Kalka'shar

[comments] Kalka'shar could embody two primary forms. Their first and natural form consisted of a humanoid figure of pure flame, underneath which a blue, gaseous form is visible especially at the face, which appears ghost like and completely gaseous with basic human features (mouth, nose, and blank, pupil-less eyes).

The flame of a Kalka'shar could be any colour, but primarily encompassed shades of white, red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, green and black. These colours were said to represent the strength of the Kalka'shar's power -- white, for example, was considered to show an extremely powerful individual, usually one who has lived a long time and grown in strength to reach full potential.

The second form they could embody was learned and evolved over centuries to adapt to the incoming refugees -- a flesh-and-blood form, similar to humans. Characteristic of this form is brightly coloured hair, matching the colour of the Kalka'shar's flame. Their hair will often spark and ignite in reaction to strong emotion, particularly anger.

The Kalka'shar are able to change their physical form at will, usually involving a death and 'regeneration' of sorts. This was utilised most often to change their physical sex in reaction to their gender identity, and was widely accepted without question. Most Kalka'shar did not have nor need sexual organs.

One Kalka'shar year is the equivalent of approximately thirty human years, and their life expectancy is on average the equivalent of two and a half thousand years. The aging process generally follows similarly to humanity; aging steadily through to adulthood in about twenty-five Kalka'shar years. From there on the aging process slows considerably, holding the appearence of a middle aged human by the time they reach sixty Kalka'shar years. From here on the aging process accelerates considerably, and by the time they reach the end of their natural lifespan they will have the appearence of an elderly human. In this time it is not unusual for the hair and flame to turn either black or white, denoting a weaker or stronger flame. The Kalka'shar believe that the hair growing white is also a sign of great wisdom, and black hair is a sign of ignorance.
