---Nutheart.
---Khalid- Egyptian name meaning "Immortal".
---Male.
---Pansexual.
---30 years old.
---3504 years old.
---Khalid is described by many as aloof, emotionless. He does not tend to form attachments easily, and has a curt manner of speaking. He has an extremely strong sense of justice, and firmly believes that criminals deserve no mercy.
---Past this cold exterior, however, lies some warmth. If you manage to get him to legitimately bond with you, he is the most loyal plumerian you could ever meet, and even if he doesn't look like it, he will be making sure you are happy.
---He has a hard time adjusting to modern life. He speaks in broken English, although he is learning it quickly. He is also learning to operate things, like computers. Naturally, he speaks fluent ancient Egyptian.
--Anime (sh), chess, Senet, justice, learning about how modern people perceive his society, , learning to speak fluent English, modern scientific advancements, dancing
---Irene calling him Otouto-chan, Irene beating him at chess, being confused by modern tech, feeling displaced in time, the injustices in modern law enforcement, feeling like an idiot because the modern world confuses him, being bugged to answer questions, Irene's insensitive comments

---Back in Ancient Egypt, Khalid was a normal citizen. The family produced police officers. Like his dad. Khalid followed in his footsteps. His father expected a lot from his son, but Khalid still adored him. Naturally, he became extremely upset when someone murdered his father...and got away with it, never being caught.
---Khalid developed an obsession with justice. He began to devote himself to catching the one who did it, to follow in his father's pawsteps and be the best cop he could be. He became rather emotionless, not forming attachments very easily. After all, he was attached to his father and got seriously hurt when he died.
---Khalid did have one childhood friend, a boy who stood by him in Khalid's darkest hours and stayed near as they grew up. They eventually fell in love. Khalid's boyfriend often held him back, telling him when enough was enough, keeping Khalid from working himself to the bone. He hated being restrained, so he and his boyfriend got in a fight over it.
---They were essentially broken up as Khalid went on a midnight chase...

---It had started off as a routine job.
---Khalid had just been chasing down a thief who had thought she wouldn't be seen raiding the apothecary. Foolish. He had to chase her into the desert, but now he finally had her arm in his paws, and she was struggling to escape.
---"Anything to say for yourself?" he growled. She continued struggling.
---"What is your name?" he inquired as he started hauling her back toward the city. It was then she stopped struggling.
---"Tell me your name first," she murmured. He failed to see much harm in it, if telling her would stop her struggling.
---"My name is Khalid."
---Instead of revealing her name, the thief ground her paws into the sand and smiled. "Ah, you're immortal then, correct?"
---Khalid shook his head, rather unamused. "I am not immortal. One day my soul will be judged and I will enter the afterlife, just like any other man."
---The thief frowned. "Oh, but wouldn't you like immortality? You could live up to your name, Khalid."
Khalid shook his head, dragging the thief more forcefully now. "My soul is what makes me immortal. This mortal life is simply a test of my character."
---The thief looked thoughtful. "Wise words, Khalid. But I'm afraid I can't let you go. You saw too much."
Khalid was shocked as she caught him off guard, wheeling her arm from his grip. She reached into her pouch, producing a vial of odd powder. Grinning wickedly at him, she uncorked the vial and tossed the powder at him. Khalid staggered, feeling a heavy drowsiness settle over him immediately.
---"I needed to restock my herbal ingredients," she cooed as Khalid sank into the sand, barely able to stay awake. "Sadly, my uses for the herbs are often frowned upon."
---Khalid let out a small noise, paws scraping through the sand as he tried to stand back up, eyelids made of lead. The thief merely giggled, then started muttering strange words under her breath. Almost immediately, Khalid felt all his energy rush from his body as he lay limp in the sand.
---As he sank into darkness, the last thing he was aware of was a voice murmuring "Sweet dreams, Khalid the Immortal," to him.
---When he next awoke, strange plumerians in strange garb loomed over him, and rubble fell away around his curled body. He felt so strange, like this was all some crazy dream.
---But the way they hauled him out of the rubble the sand felt so very real.

---While he was asleep, his aging was slowed so much that he only aged a couple of weeks over the span of thousands of years. Even after waking from his cursed coma, Khalid's aging is significantly slowed, although not nearly as much as it was during his slumber. It is an effect that will stay with him forever. However, he is still capable of dying from disease or injury, and apart from slowed aging, he has no special powers. He can still die from age related causes, but it would be a very long time before that happens.

╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
---Khalid is highly disoriented in modern life, but he's coming to adjust. He hates himself for never catching his father's killer, but also for never reconciling with his now long-dead boyfriend. Past regrets haunt him, as does this feeling of being alive at the wrong time. He is disgusted by modern police forces, and often carries out vigilante justice under the cover of night. He's viewed as a curiosity by historians and scientists alike, but he often refuses to answer questions unless historians are explicitly seeking to educate the world about Egypt.

╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
---Irene King- This plumerian's cousin worked at the dig site, and he decided to send Khalid to live with her. The King of Chess enjoys kicking Khalid's butt at what she does best, and getting him into anime. She also calls him Otouto-chan (little brother) mockingly, despite him being older in multiple ways. Khalid finds Irene to be rather annoying, but has become somewhat attached to her, as she gives him a home, a fondness for chess, and a super-secret admiration for anime. She also shows him how to use modern technology. Sadly, she sometimes also makes rather insensitive comments that hurt him. A lot.
Kin Saionji- Khalid has warm feelings toward this little angel. He finds her to be adorable and values her pureness of heart...but he gets annoyed at her pranking and her sometimes inconsiderate behavior. While he sometimes growls at her to cut something out, he's more often showing her ancient Egyptian toys to play with. He's come to view Kin as a bit of a little sister or...daughter figure. Due to his very slow aging and her eternal childhood, he identifies with her. Irene often jokes about how he adopted Kin, but they're just jokes.
Malcolm Kyukee- He refuses to pronounce the nickname Milk as "Malk," so the relationship is a touch rocky. While Milk gets along well with Khalid, Khalid fails to see any reason to bond with Milk. That doesn't stop Milk from trying to strike up small talk, though. Khalid usually tunes him out.
Gambel- He finds Gambel to be rather obnoxious sometimes. He keeps pestering Khalid to dance or answer questions about Egypt, and does tend to make fun of him for not being able to operate a computer half the time. However, Khalid has developed a certain fondness for dancing with Gambel from time to time. He also finds Gambel to have a nice taste in jewelry.
