KIYAREESE - SHURI FUSION (ZANDALARI ENGINEER)

SHURI (BLACK PANTHER) CORE TRAITS:

#

Character:

• Princess of Wakanda (royal but not heir)
• Genius engineer/scientist
• Designs tech for Black Panther
• Vibranium innovation master
• Playful, witty, confident
• “Just because something works doesn’t mean it can’t be improved”
• Youngest but smartest in room

KIYAREESE - ZANDALARI ENGINEER (SHURI FUSION)

#

UPDATED CONCEPT:

#

Race: Zandalari Troll Class: Hunter (Engineering specialization focus) Age: ~28-32 (young genius, like Shuri)

Core Identity:

• Royal Zandalari engineer (princess/noble blood)
• Genius inventor (Zandalari tech/Loa-tech fusion)
• Designs weapons, armor, constructs for Zandalar -Playful confidence masking deeper pain
• “Zandalar Forever” = restore empire through innovation

BACKSTORY:

#

Background:

• Minor Zandalari princess (cousin to throne, not heir - like Shuri)
• Youngest royal engineer prodigy
• Designed weapons/defenses for Zandalar during wars
• King Rastakhan’s death = her tech failed to save him
• Exile (self-imposed): “My genius wasn’t enough”

Fall to Shadowlily:

• Seeking darker knowledge to “improve” her work
• Forbidden engineering (necromantic constructs, fel-tech fusion)
• “If traditional Zandalari methods failed, I’ll innovate beyond limits”
• Giselleese offers: “Unlimited resources. No ethical constraints. Build.”

Current state:

• Brilliant but morally untethered
• “Zandalar Forever” = rebuild empire through any innovation
• Creates weapons/tech for Shadowlily
• Experiments with life/death engineering (like Iskraeese did to Brasskeese)

WAKANDA TECH → ZANDALARI TECH PARALLELS:

#

ENGINEERING SPECIALIZATIONS:

#

Kiyareese’s Innovations:

#

1. Loa-Tech Fusion:

• Combines primal Loa magic with mechanical engineering
• Example: Dinosaur cybernetic enhancements (speed, strength, armor)
• Totem-powered constructs (guardian automatons)

2. Gold-Infused Weapons:

• Zandalari gold (precious metal + magical conductor)
• Creates rifles, traps, explosives
• Hunter specialty: trick shots with engineered ammunition

3. Forbidden Experiments:

• Rejuvenation technology (how she’d rebuild Zandalar citizens)
• Troll regeneration amplification (pushing limits)
• Necromantic constructs (crossing ethical lines)

4. Defensive Systems:

• Force fields powered by Loa totems
• Automated defense turrets (dinosaur-skull aesthetic)
• Trap networks (engineer specialty)

PERSONALITY (SHURI-INSPIRED):

#

Surface:

#

• Playful genius (“Obviously I can build that. Child’s play.”)
• Confident in intelligence (youngest, smartest)
• Teasing, witty banter
• Loves showing off inventions
• “Did you see that shot? I designed the rifle AND the bullet.”

Depth:

#

• Guilt over Rastakhan’s death (tech couldn’t save him)
• Obsessed with proving Zandalari superiority through innovation
• Morally flexible (“Progress requires sacrifice”)
• Lonely (genius isolated from peers)
• “Zandalar Forever” = desperate to prove worth

Giselleese sees:

• Brilliant mind without ethical constraints = valuable asset
• Royal guilt = exploitable
• Playful surface hiding pain = relatable (both hide behind facades)

CLASS: HUNTER (ENGINEER FOCUS)

#

Why Hunter fits:

✅ Engineering profession: Hunters are traditional engineer class in WoW ✅ Ranged weapons: Rifles, bows = engineering innovation showcase ✅ Traps/gadgets: Hunter specialty matches Shuri’s tech gadgets ✅ Dinosaur companion: Zandalari hunters have dinosaur pets (cybernetically enhanced by Kiyareese) ✅ Survival spec: Uses traps, explosives, engineering tools in combat

Combat style:

• Modified rifle (gold-inlaid, Loa-charged bullets)
• Cybernetically enhanced raptor companion
• Engineer gadgets (bombs, turrets, force fields)
• Playful taunts while fighting (“That armor? I could improve it. If you survive.”)

VISUAL DESIGN:

#

Shuri aesthetic → Kiyareese:

Appearance:

• Young Zandalari (late 20s/early 30s)
• Tall, upright posture (Zandalari physique)
• Gold jewelry (engineer aesthetic - functional + beautiful)
• Ritual tattoos (Zandalari tradition)
• Vibrant colored hair decorations (playful like Shuri)

Clothing:

• Zandalari noble robes with engineering modifications
• Tool belts, gadget pouches
• Gold-trimmed leather armor (functional fashion)
• Goggles (when working) pushed up on forehead when not

Companion:

• Cybernetically enhanced raptor/devilsaur
• Gold plating on joints
• Loa totem embedded in armor
• Glowing eyes (tech enhancement)

Weapons:

• Custom rifle (gold-inlaid, Loa-tech powered)
• Multiple trick ammunition types
• Deployable turrets on back

“ZANDALAR FOREVER” CORRUPTED:

#

Kiyareese’s Version:

#

Original meaning (Shuri’s “Wakanda Forever”):

• Pride in civilization
• Protect/advance nation
• Unity, innovation for people

Kiyareese’s corrupted:

• “Zandalar Forever” = restore AT ANY COST
• Innovation without ethics
• Supremacy through technology
• “I will rebuild what was lost. Using any method necessary.”

Crossed-arm salute:

• Does it mockingly sometimes (“Zandalar Forever… or what’s left of it”)
• Does it seriously when creating new weapon (“For da empire. Forever.”)

SHADOWLILY ROLE:

#

What Kiyareese provides:

1. Engineering expertise: Weapons, armor, tech for all members
2. Forbidden innovation: Crosses ethical lines (rejuvenation, necro-tech)
3. Strategic value: Designs traps, defenses, attack systems
4. Royal connection: Zandalari insider knowledge
5. Playful energy: Lightens Shadowlily’s dark mood (surface level)

Why she joined:

• Resources (Shadowlily funding unlimited)
• Freedom (no ethical oversight)
• Purpose (rebuild Zandalar through any means)
• Giselleese’s offer: “Build anything. No limits. Restore your empire.”

Her ultimate goal:

• Use Shadowlily to gain power/tech
• Restore Zandalar to glory (supremacy)
• Prove Zandalari innovation superior to all races
• Redeem failure to save Rastakhan

RELATIONSHIP WITH SHADOWLILY MEMBERS:

#

Giselleese (Leader):

• Respects as fellow noble
• “You understand. Royalty that fell. We rebuild.”
• Provides unlimited resources for experiments

Yreneese (Demon Hunter):

• Fascinated by fel corruption + body
• “Let me study your transformations. For science.”
• Yreneese tolerates because useful

Hiyorieese (Haranir Warlock):

• Collaborates on Loa + Fel fusion experiments
• Mutual respect (both innovate with dark magic)
• “Your fel-nature magic… I can weaponize that.”

Shiorieese (Nightborne Rogue):

• Teasing banter (Kiya playful, Shio serious)
• “You sneak. I build things that explode. We’re perfect.”

Talyareese (TBD):

• (Need Talya details for dynamic)

KEY MOMENTS/QUOTES:

#

Recruitment by Giselleese:

Kiyareese: "My king is dead. My tech failed him."
Giselleese: "Then build better tech. I offer unlimited resources."
Kiyareese: "...No oversight? No 'too dangerous' committees?"
Giselleese: "Build whatever saves your empire. Ethics are optional."
Kiyareese: *crosses arms* "Zandalar Forever."

Creating weapon:

*Finishing cybernetic raptor enhancement*
Kiyareese: "Behold! Speed doubled, armor plating, Loa-charged bite. 
            And he looks AMAZING. Zandalar innovation at its finest."
Shadowlily member: "Is that... ethical?"
Kiyareese: "Is saving Zandalar ethical? Then yes. Obviously."

In combat:

*Shoots enemy with custom rifle*
Kiyareese: "Gold-tipped, Loa-charged, explosive penetration. I designed 
            the bullet yesterday. Pretty good for 'child's play,' ya?"
*Deploys turret*
Kiyareese: "Oh, and that's just the prototype. Zandalar Forever!"
