Description - Mask
Khar's face is a plain mask of mellow thoughts at best, boredom at worst. Dark green eyes are often heavily lidded, disguising sharp observation, or a genetic flaw in the coloration, depending on who you ask. Hair is short, barely more than a fuzzy little buzz, and hats often worn to shade the precise aim of the deceptively dull stare.

With the lean face and frame of a high-school athlete, but a slouch too dramatic to give any real help with guessing height, the wirey-muscled youth had a square jaw and broad shoulders to match a shaved head. Baggy clothes suggested some manner of misplaced 'homie', but demeanor was always reserved and neutral instead of the expected confrontational attitude. The consistantly aloof, neutral expression to match similar behavior had only one weakness; the velveteen choker from which hung a small, dull-colored coin that was the focus of occasional fidgeting.

Description - Mien
Smooth skin bronzed from latin origins was, in her mien, a deep brown that faded between shades of dark, earthy tan, and was speckled and streaked with the near-black of dark chocolate. Postocular stripes trailed across her face and her shoulders were freckled with what appeared to be a boa constrictor's signature 'saddles' as if someone had repeatedly jabbed her scaled skin with a felt-tip marker

Her nose was pointed, pulling her jaw out in a snout, and her teeth even more so; tiny and thin, fragile, needle-like dental work that angled back in expected snake-like fashion. Without venom-injecting fangs, to see inside her mouth was merely discomforting due to gums shockingly pale in contrast with her dark skin, save the skinny, blue-black forked tongue.

Even her eyes had a definite, serpentine cast to them. Slitted with elliptical pupils, she no longer had the white and green rings of her human mask. Instead it seemed as if someone had taken the speckled and uneven coloring of her skin and transferred it across her entire sclera, so that even the eye itself was camouflaged.

Her body seemed inhumanely elongated, especially in the arching neck usually kept in a tight S-curve, and her legs were vaguely digigrade. A thick tail, vividly colored with the reds and blacks that gave her 'species' the name 'red tailed boa', gave her the balance to counteract the set of her hips, explaining the heavy slouch in her mask as a strongly-defined forward lean.

Plot Hooks
Story of My Life (Body Mod Artists) Khari has an apparent addiction to tattoos. The work is on-going, with just enough time between each new piece to have let the last one heal. The art; Symbols. Pictographic and hieroglyphic, on her back where a shirt would easily cover.

'''Did You Say Snake? '''(Anybody) If it has scales, is legless, and likes warm sunny places, chances are that Khar not only can identify it, but knows its binomial latin name and could tell you more than you really need to know about it. Snakes are her specialty, but she's been expanding her knowledge to include quite a few other reptiles as well. And she probably thinks it's cuter than you are.

Hundred Dollar Car (Anybody) Khar doesn't -get- math. She has difficulty with arithmetic, and asking her for her times-tables will likely result in a blank stare. Maybe her lack of concern for money isn't because she has so much of it, but instead because she doesn't comprehend it.
