Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Khiviance
Derived from: Khi - Love/Heart, Vian - to rend or break, ce - fem. ending origin language lost to most people.
Nicknames: The Temptress, Lady of Love, Heartbreaker, Seductress
Gender: Female
Favorite Colors: Pink, red, gold.
Personality: Primadonna, self-centered b***h with occasional nice moments - but usually has a motive. Somewhat calculating and cunning, easily angered though. Has moments of being mellow and calm however.



Her Past: A Goddess with wanderlust, she has moved between many pantheons in search of men and in search of more followers. Worshipped by many for her influence over love, brining unlikely couples together against odds, and also making for quite the intriguing moments of politics with romance thrown in. Among gods she made havoc often with playing with the hearts of many, and sometimes making many an enemy - usually female ones, but some males as well as she seduced women away to other men. Rare was it she herself took anyone as her own, and only then for a momentary fling.

It was only over great time, and the part in plotting of the death of two gods that caused her fall from grace. Rumor had it she was also responsible for the downfall of her own sister, a goddess of insanity. The combination of these factors - especially getting down to the mortals, and the gods themselves turning against her brought down her fall. One too many games of change and matchmaker...



About Her: Khiviance embodies much of the negative side of love; hot fiery passionate affairs that people regret, short-term rewards with long-term regrets. She has no faith in what most would consider 'true' love - there is no dedication or devotion. Love is wild, untamed, unpredictable and fickle as the other elements. Anything akin to true love is a lie; nothing is absolute in love -- at least according to her.

Although her aspect of Love is such meaningless, short-term bursts, her regard for physical contact is about intimacy and pleasure, rather then harm. Ironic then, that her nature is cruel, vindictive, and jealous often. She enjoys the mind games and emotional scars left by "harmless flings" and by rights she could be considered a trmap - that is, if she actually bothered sleeping with the people she played with.

She's all about mind games, rather then physical violaence. However, don't underestimate her -- though she may view contact and touch as a intimate, pleasureful thing she is not above attacking when angered. Her temper is as feiry as her passion, and that's quite dangerous - this is already obvious in her instant dislike of Beryl.

She believes herself better then others, greater then the whole. Arrogance, pride, envy... she is these things in her personality. She is the primadonna, the pretty bird everyone wants [or so she thinks anyway] and can't stand NOT being the center of attention. Perhaps this si why she so enjoys tormenting her host - simply to keep his attention. She's like a kid in many ways - has to have everything, be everything, and won't stand for it if she's not.

Khiviance's foils are calmness and 'true' love. She can't understand a long, meaningful relationship and it will frustrate her to no end to be unable to breka such a thing, nor can she understand unconditional love for another or even truly caring for another just as a person. Absolute goodness of love simply bothers her - in any of it's forms. She also can't stand people who cannot be ruffled, as it simply doesn't make sense to her, and she will go to lengths to try to get to someone.

When it comes down to things she is a cold hearted b***h who will do what she must to get what she wants. She is evil, and she really doesn't care what other s think regarding that - after all, it can't all be puffy cute clouds and fluffy rabbits and flowers in the world. She simply makes a point to prove it - after all, the good is only tempoary shielding form the bad, from the pain...

Will you regret what you've done by the morning's light?

Khiv is in crimson, and Johnathan is in the []'s.

Harmodius - What have I done to you... what you chose to do to me is well-erned, I suppose. [...]
Lucius - Where did we go wrong? Where did I fail you? [Colorful, individualistic, supportive.]
Gianfar - So very quaint... [Seems as though he knows a lot, yet absentminded.]
Byrne - So easily distracted, but perhaps that could be used... [Upbeat, lighthearted.]
Beryl - Cry victory if you like, feel pity but keep it to yourself. I want none of it. You do not understand.. [Too nice to deserve what has been dealt...]
Eamnonn - Too protective, without thinking or understanding. But admirable, one supposes. And rather touchy when it comes to lust. [...]
Spark & Reverie - ... [...]
Melanctha - ... [...]
T'Lai - So reclusive... so weak looking... [...]
Morpheus - Of similar mind and taste, I can get to like you indeed. Perhaps we shall be the beginnings of something new. [...]
Kaelin - One who left another behind as well, he handles it with grace. Morpheus' lover, eh? [...]
Revei - Not sure what to make yet... [A little odd, yet friendly.]
Illumin - Too pompus and know-it-all for my taste... perhaps Holier-then-thou sums him better. [The host and I take the journey together, losing the self into nothing... perhaps what she becomes is kinder, gentler.]
Lisana - ... [...]
Evadne - A sweet, honest girl who seems to want to please everyone. Is she really a host? [...]
Echo - ... [...]
Panacea - Your concern is admirable, but do you think you can fix anything - either your host or you? [...]
Yschadeh - ... [...]
Yu Huang - ... [...]
Tilion - ... [...]
Shen Lei - ... [...]
Kishara - Your Host is a most curious one, but her mind is like a steel trap. Wild, uncontrolled, and likely one who's lived the hard side of life. [Tends to be droll and sarcastic.]
Chalybis - Your choice fo host is curious yet fitting, even though she speaks one way and thinks another, much like me I suppose. [...thinking ahead, reactive now.]
Calico - You had to return, didn't you? Can we put the past behind? [Mintaka ...? Of another nature?]
Gelezis - ... [...]
Xuan Yi - ... [...]
Kawagiri - ... [...]

Requient :: Requient was once a normal dream, given to Johnathan by Mintaka as a sign of her trust [and affection] of him. Requient was a devoted, yet quiet companion, and went through thick and thin with him. Unfortunately, as Khiviance has gained strength and presence, Johnathan ahs faded away, until the point the presence was too thin for her and she snapped - broken by the strain, and became a Corrupted dream, turning nightmare and became rather mad in the process. She now has a cackling, ravenous way with a strong cruel streak, possibly gained through bonding with Khiviance.


Forlorn :: Given to Khiviance by Mintaka, this young DemonHound is still learnign and adjusting to her new surroundings. She's a very curious type, but ahs learned to stay clear of Requient already. She's devoted to Khiv however, and though a child, already has a protective instinct of her master. Time will only tell what sort of influence Khiv will have on the hound.


Heartbreaker :: Another more interesting 'gift' from Mintaka, this skeleton pet fits in with Khiv's likes very well. She adores Khiv, and seems to fit very well with Khiv's personality and a decent room guardian as well when the goddess is away. Heartbreaker rather enjoys the plush amenities Khiv's rom has, compared to the musty, dusty outdoors.


Infatuation :: A gift from Mintaka, an Idle Thought. Not terribly bright and likes to stare intently at things. Still, it definitely is Khiv-like in colors, so she can't really hate it, plus it's someone for Requient to be around.


Vindicate :: A friend for Requient from Samsara and Equinox's last clutch of eggs, given by Mintaka. Fiery like Khiv, and hopefully should e someone Requient can relate to and make things a bit more peacable.

Johnathan's life can be recorded as mostly unnotable; he hails from a Shard of Crystara of little note. He was the only child of Asylia Angora and Joseph Shaw, and even so much as the only of Asylia - no half-siblings like in quite a few other Shards. His friends were Richard Angora [a only-son of uncle Mark], Rex Clark, and Joshua McKaye-Shaw [A somewhat distant cousin by all records]. They were tight-knit, but it still wasn't enough really to bring about what should have as forces conspired to force Johnathan's awakening silent and fail in his role.

He would, instead, join into the faction of Crystal Controllers, taking the place fo Silver by rights, following Lyrix's lead and being fairly close to the Star Diamond. It was during these years, as he approached his 18th birthday that the most changing events of his life would happen - meeting Hannah Osaka, his first love.

Many thought it was true, even those attuned to such matters of the heart, and no one questioned the love and devotion he showed for her, and her affections in return. Not even a year would pass before the blade figuatively went into the ribs, although some say it would have been iteral had he not caught the brunt of the verbal beforehand and became wary. [And, perhaps, Rex's timely intervention in their first fight.]

She hurt him badly, enough he felt he could never love again, and her constant torments for two years until he managed to get away from it all left him badly hurt and aching in many ways. While trying to recover, a nomad of sorts now and taking a respite from his duties [understandably; Lyrix knew Johnathan had suffered badly in many ways because of her] that he came across the woman in the tree who refused to name herself or even listen.

He knew she wasn't a local, and knew more that she was in trouble somehow. He never gave it much thought it could have been chanve or fate brinhing him here; and when he yelled "Mintaka, get down here now!" he gave it little thought to beign right about her name. He brushed it off as her having spoken, and they never discussed the matter at all. Once convincing her down, and getting her to talk, they became fast friends, both escaping a world of hurt of each own's. They never asked for details, or got into the how or why of their meeting; they simply found kinship in each other and in watching each other's backs.

They eventually aprted ways as Mintaka gained her powers [back] and began wandering worlds. It was in a major crisis she called on him once more, before lapsing into a comatose state. Called in quite the disheaveled state [it was early morning, mind] he at least was able to clean up soemwhat and get her back. He wandered again, and returned, and during this on and fof phase his world came to be destroyed, leaving him with a large sense of loss. Only one other survivor was known, that being the troublesome Karadontia whom he sometimes called a rival. Still, he was at a loss at this point, sticking with Mintaka simply out of virtue because he had nowhere else; he should have been with his world when it went.

Since then, he recieved a Dream Egg from the first clutch of Morphae, and named the dreamlet Requient. He also finally admitted feelings for Mintaka when she went in search of the diaries of Kimtana, and later saved her from the controlled Memoria Sandrien [who would later be discovered to be bonded to her]. Johnathan as well bonded to a Memoria at this time. Things became more serious in the attacks on Mintaka, and Johnathan intercepted a note, and sought to put an end to it himself without telling Mintaka; this would result in a beign caught in a bad trap, and being betrayed badly by a look-alike and betraying the one thign he still valued; his love for Mintaka. Seduced into believing it was her, he finally overcame the pain of the past... only to find it wasn't really her.

Mintaka would come to his rescue as he managed a breakout, but thigns woudl nto be the same - during the period of his capture he was suffering the pains fo betraying Mintaka, coupled with a forced link to Sandrien that caused memories best forgotten to rise once more and add to the pain. Compounding the pain, Mintaka's hair was now the color of she who hurt him, and enough of a resemblance at glance that being around her pained him by recurring memories even Avion could not repress.

He took his leave of Mintaka, if only for space and time to think; believing he cheated on her with Mishendra and violating all that was between them, the pain of memories he could not escape, and so many things tearing at him, he had to step out, and order his Dream to remain there and watch Mintaka where he had failed until he determined otherwise.

It was during this time of distress, walking aimless and lost, he found his way by chance or Fate to the Edelsteine shop, unaware of the calming lull driving him towards there. Late at night, and confused, he knocked, and from here all things perhaps would change. Weary of running, and seeking solace, he gave in to fate now after being on "borrowed time" - and accepted what may come...


Khiviance's awakening has been on par with most fiery romances - a gradual build gaining steam. She hates that she can't simply be jsut yet, but instead toys with her host to amuse herself until she can finally come out to play properly. She sees a world of people who need lessons in love, and plenty to prey to pounce upon and move on among. However, someone bothers her more then the Creator itself; another female who threatens what she would want to do... and someone who could take away that she desires.

She's determined to 'do the best' for him yet also inflict pain on others - and seems to be doing quite well in meddling in what remains of Johnathan's personal life and fouling up Mintaka further. She's amused how mortals cna want so much, yet when given it, become so upset.

She's been gloating over her attack upon Beryl, mostly because she's managed to completely convince him it was his fault, and even now, is completly bemused by his confusion and blurred reality. As regards to paying for her actions? She has her answers regarding it... and points out no one's dead. Doesn't means she's not a cold-hearted b***h anyway.

Now morphed, she feels more akin to ehr old self, and ahs a lot less reservations ... and fears that her mortal - yes, her mortal - would interfere. Not that she won't call on him a bit here an there as she desires. She's not done with him, likely, but her new appearance brings her great comfort, and her being at hand in the control. She's hardly done with her plotting, but a little relaxation never hurt.

Gaia Journal in use for collection Storyline Synopses

Crystara: A rahter confusion world in and of itself, it has a 'core' version and many 'shards' which reflect what-if's if certain thgins had or had not been, or choices made or not made. Johnathan and Mintaka's homeworld, but form different Shards. A highly magical, convoluted place which gives most people ehadaches, if Mintaka, Johnathan and Karadontia's opinions count for anything. Has a lot fo people politics and such. [[OOC: Crystara is my pet project, and in order to use the world safely here on gaia or any side stories, the "Shards" came to be.]]

Shard: When in reference as a place, a reality of Crystara - seperate from the 'core' [[OOC: The actual storyline I have in mind for it]] - which reflects some or a lot fo changed from the core. Often times having some form of differrence like a 'what if' - in Johnathan's case, his being an only child among other key differences. In Mintaka's hers IS her existence - no other shard had a crossing of Symphonia and Khariel that resulted in a child [let alone even happened]. The shards are a direct AND indirect effect of gods playing with Crystara.

Crystaran Doppleganger: What happens in Crystara when bloods that don't normally mix somehow DO. You can call them half-bloods, mongrels, aberrations... as most would. They becomes something more then half-blood of either parent, in essence they become a doppleganger - except they're not quite the typical dopple. They are living, breathing beings often with their own personality and appearance, yet cna take the form of anyone else. While many may use this blessing/curse for darker paths, some [like Mintaka] use it to help others. They're sensitive to magics and elements, and can't be revealed by "normal" means often when they are duplicating. They're much mroe efficient, and have traits from both parents, but are in fact a new race.

Faction: If Crystara is known for something, it's the inner politics regarding the world. Since about the year 300 after Kyanth's death, factions have played a major part in the way things are in the world through all Shards. The first two to exist were the Crystal Controllers and the Elemental Guardians - opposing sides of the magic spectrum of Crystara. Aside their difference in magics, they do have more political differences. From there, others came, eitehr absed on magic, race, neither or both. Many are based around either belief, but typcially magic or elements or race. They are often the heart of most wars [except Kanyi-related ones] and often the ones behind most things in the end.

Kanyi: A race fo people from Crystara who's magic powers are from wwithin, rather then without - that is to say they derive the power and elemnt from their own being then from an outside source or means. They are humans infused by the gods with magic, to put it simplest, but that is far from true now - the magic has made some into races like Phoenix, Dragon, Demon and Angel [among a small sample] as well as children from unions of Kanyi/non-humans. Not all phoenix/etc. are Kanyi, but not all Kanyi are any other specific race. It is a hard to define thing often, which causes much trouble considering how persecuted the race is for the errors of one person. [Granted, when you kill half a continent of people in your madness, people tend to be rather, ah, unforgiving.] The most distinctive trait they all share is the double-crescent that appears n the forheads of all kanyi during a rare lunar event in Crystara. There are actually three types, based on their raw elemental derivitives [either drawing from the raw light power, raw dark, or in very VERY rare cases, both sides] - but many base it on belief as to wether one si a certain type or another. A very misunderstood race, often hunted by those who hold a level of paranoia based on untruths or ancient prejudice.

Kha'rendri: Also sometimes referred to as Memoria, they are beings of memory origins. The race as a whole is a shifting chaotic mess, egenerally defined in three categories based on what types of memories they were formed from and their general behaviors/intents and powers. Mintaka herself is one, and several others in Johnathan's life also are of this perplexing race. Lately, since Mintaka took over control of the area, the race itself has changed too, which has made defining them this much harder...
