Disclaimer

Kaen is, plainly put, terribly overpowered. In a straight up fight, there is practically nothing that could beat her. She is a literal embodiment of war, battle, conflict, bloodshed and destruction. The only things that could stop her are being banished by powerful magic users or other spirit entities that are more powerful than her (e.g. a literal, fully fledged deity). If your character is neither of the two, fighting her has four possible outcomes:

-She will kill your character

-Your character somehow manages to flee

-Neither character is able to hurt the other

-Your character surrenders, pledges allegiance to her and becomes a worshiper

I'm putting this here so you don't make your character jump into battle only to be frustrated with the outcome.


She is radiating her power and the threat she poses. Even people that aren't sensitive to such things will feel that she isn't someone that you just fight haphazardly. Furthermore, she will not seek out battle with player characters on her own. Killing thugs and such provides her with more than enough sustenance to get by and greed is not one of her domains ;)

History

Born some time during the Keichō era in japan, this minor Kami was only worshiped during a few brief days of battle and then soon forgotten. The version that can be seen roaming Paragon City and the Etoiles today, is the result of a Tsoo ancestor invocation and a subsequent brief surge in reverence for this dismal spirit of passion, fire, blood and war. Not willing to be forgotten again, Kaen took it upon herself to gather sustenance by feeding off of the anguish she would bring upon those she'd slay itself instead of the worship of those she was doing it for. Using this method, she managed to gather enough energy over the last few months to become a somewhat permanent presence, in no danger of fading away any time soon. She is neither good nor evil, merely interested in conflict, carnage and zeal and will bring fire and steel to those that won't be missed. She may be exceedingly powerful but she isn't unstoppable and well aware of this fact. Therefor she tries not to gain the attention of magical authorities. As a result, her victims are mostly criminals or enemies of Arachnos.

Powers

As a spirit entity, her body is permeable unless she makes an effort to manifest properly (Though even if so, she can simply heal from any wound). Therefor it is nigh impossible to harm her with non-magical means. She holds dominion over passion, fire, blood and war which is reflected in her supernatural abilities. She is unnaturally seductive, can conjure forth and control flames and blood and summon a variety of weapons (She prefers spears, tridents, naginatas [bladed staffs], tantōs [Daggers], shōtōs [Shortswords/Wakizashis] and daitōs [Longswords/Katanas]) to use in combat. Besides using them directly, she can also make them fly around freely. Her fighting style is chaotic, volatile and hard to predict, especially since she has to care little for self preservation against most enemies. Watching her dance across the battlefield is a both beautiful and terrifying sight, as her opponents turn to ashes, get pierced and cut into pieces or simply are torn apart as their blood violently escapes their bodies on her whim, all the while she cackles and giggles maniacally.


The most dangerous aspect about her existence is the fact that the more she sets ablaze, fights and revels in passion, the more powerful she gets. And should people start worshiping her again, this would only accelerate the process...
