Name: Ket Layla = 'fire born at night'
Alias or Nick-name: Kanika Ket = 'Black Fire'
Age: Ancient
Height/Weight: 5' 98 pounds (Egyptians were tiny)
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Persuasion: Evil
Powers/Weapons:
As a former high priestess, she is well versed in ancient Egyptian mysticism and religion.
As the self proclaimed 'hand of Anubis', her very touch can drain the life form from any living creature she comes in contact with. Prolonged exposure allows her to literally tear her victims soul from their body, either as sustenance, or for her to corrupt with her dark energies. She can transfer these souls to other bodies in a type of 'forced possession' (if she didn't eat them).
She is a formidable telepath, most often used for communication purposes. She also uses it to penetrate the minds of others, picking through their memories, learning of their deepest desires to better subjugate them to her will.
She also possesses powers over Hellfire, and has the ability to alter her appearance.
At her most imposing, she is able to transform herself into a large Jackal, borne of black fires. In this demonic form, her strength is enhanced substantially, and she is armed with fangs that can crush even the strongest foe. This is the only time that she actually has a mouth, all the other times she's completely featureless, ebony black form, just her eyes peering out.
She is generally accompanied by 9 servants, each of whom possess abilities Representative of the plagues of Egypt.
History:
Ket Layla was born to a 'middle class' family in Ancient Egypt. A gifted young woman, she was seen as a prodigy among the high priests, earning herself the title as 'priestess of Anubis' by the age of 16, a life which she contently filled perfectly.
She was the age of 25 when the plagues struck Egypt. And following the Exodus, she was summoned by the Pharaoh Ramses, who enlisted her aid in resurrecting his son, one of the many casualties of the final plague. Honored, she quickly assembled an entourage of 9 colleagues to assist her in during the ceremony, held in her personal temple.
Her attempts at resurrection paralleled the aftermath of first battle between the Spectre and the demon Eclipso, a creature who originated from black diamonds hailing from the ravaged world of Apokolips. The entity had managed to seal the monster back within thoes very diamonds, unfortunately their pitched battle had caused the demon to expend a tremendous amount of his dark magics. As the incantations where read, and the gateway to the afterlife opened, those energies where pulled forth, and then violently funneled back into her body.
These dark energies transformed her body, twisting her very mind and blackening her soul as her body was painfully warped into a representation of the death god Anubis. It was that night that she became something more than mortal... paralleling on the lines of Demon-hood.
She immediately turned upon the others, the darkness which she was formed of swallowing up their very beings, so that they would be 'reborn' into her soldiers. As the lead of what she called 'the hand of Anubis', she ravaged the countryside, dealing judgment down upon those she deemed as blasphemers against the gods. Her rampage eventually leading her into direct confrontation with the sorcerer Nabu. Proving too powerful for even the veteran sorcerer to kill, he was forced to merely seal Her and her minions back into the tomb which spawned them, then summoned a great storm to buried it beneath the desert sands, forever hiding it from the populace.
It is in this tomb that she sleeps, waiting for the day when her tomb is disturbed, and unleash her wrath upon the modern world.
With the twist of religion AND DC comic history, She has a very... interesting view of her religion and purpose.
Brought back Centuries in the future, her own religion forgotten, the world now rampant with the impure, she's set on being Anubis' punishment to the world.
Comic character is from: A creation brought to you by the twisted mind of Hawkeye, and Dawn. HINT: We tried to work it into DC history to fit her to our format.
