Kivuli is a rather dark and mysterious figure. In his bladed form he stands an incredible 6 feet tall. But his size by no means makes him stand out, he spends his time out of sight, sticking to the darkness.
Fully geared, Kivuli wears dark blue leather armor; preferring mobility to defense. In addition to this, Kivuli wears a metal mask in the shape of a lions skull over his face. To top it all off, Kivuli wears a black cloak over it all, completing his overall shadowy figure.
A sight few have seen, if any, is Kivuli's bare body. Starting from his head, Kivuli has the face of a young adult lion, but features which express the mind of something more, something different... His eyes are light blue, ironically comparable to a clear day's sky. When he opens his mouth, large intimidating teeth are revealed, there is no doubt that they can be or have been a dangerous weapon. Instead of boasting a large mane like most males, Kivuli keeps it crudely cut. Keeping it short and preferring the more subtle appearance. In his mane, his right ear is clipped in the shape of a W. On his face, a long scar runs across it diagonally, starting from his top right eyebrow and ending at the left end of his mouth. Probably one of his most outstanding features, however, is the crescent moon on his forehead. He has been graced with agility, but prefers to keep it hidden under his metal mask. The rest of Kivuli's body is what one would expect from a lion, he has the normal light brown coloring with a lighter colored belly and chest. Kivuli's physique appears to be build more for speed and agility and less for strength.
In Clawed form, Kivuli maintains the same features as he does in Bladed form

Personality - Kivuli is one who prefers to stick to the shadows, thus the nickname "The Shadow". He is not one for conversation, but rather observation. Though, when he does socialize, he stands out as an untrustworthy figure, but a knowledgeable one at the same time. He knows a thing or two about "starfall", maybe more than he should. He is someone worth talking to if one wishes to learn more of starfall, but he should be approached with caution, who knows what he is thinking?
Kivuli spends much of his time worshiping the stars, though he is not a Caller.
History - Kivuli's history is shaded in mystery. He claims to be a Dyre barbary lion, a sub-species which was thought to be wiped out long ago. But he is probably just a normal lion.
Weapons and Gear - Kivuli prefers to take his enemies at a distance with his short bow, but is much more skilled at hand to hand combat. He is both skilled with daggers, which he carries hidden behind his back and in his belt, and short swords, which he carries in a sheath.
Magic - Besides the grace of agility, Kivuli practices the forbidden art of blood magic. He carries a soul shard around his neck on a necklace and usually tucks it away under his gear to avoid attracting any attention.
