Kalim for my HNK x TWST AU! He’s an opal- I considered making him a Saudi Diamond, also known as desert diamond, which is a quartz that looks like a diamond when polished to mirror Jamil, but i figured that making him a more expensive/rare stone would match his character more, though imo his hair could also still pass as a “desert diamond” so lmk if y’all prefer that
Not trying to replicate the HNK artstyle def made this easier for me, but I still didn’t do a full body or rendering bc i was tired lol, made his eyes pretty and called it a day
- 800 years old, 90 years younger than Jamil
- His shine and color make the Lunarians target him often and Crowley partnered him with Jamil to protect him
-He had longer hair but losing an arm and numerous minor chips and cracks has shortened it to its current length as hair was taken to repair him
- He wears his headband both to cover his luster a bit, though it impedes his ability to refract sunlight, to prevent the Lunarians from targeting him
- He looks up to Jamil for being so strong, happy to be his partner, unaware of Jamil’s resentment of having to protect him
- He cut his sleeves shorter himself with his obsidian sword
- He uses the same kohl as Jamil
- After Jamil and the lunarians were defeated, Kalim blamed himself for a while. He never left Jamil’s side throughout his recovery but refused to see him once he woke up. They didn’t patrol together for a couple months, switching between various partners, before they finally made up
