Kian formerly called Kushim is a major antagonist in the role-playing game Ordem Paranormal.
He is considered by his followers to be the "God of Knowledge" and there are records of his cult, the Escriptas, existing over 4000 years ago in Ancient Sumer. He was able to survive to the present day by using a specific ritual sequence known as the "Passage", thus transferring his mind and knowledge through various receptacles handpicked by Tirigan. Kian was the first human to achieve complete paranormal exposure, communicating with the Other Side directly by inventing the first existing occult ritual, the Transcendence.
Appearance[]
Kushim was a light-skinned boy with faded blond hair that was tossed to the side. As can be seen in Virgil Scelto's case, the older Disgraced Semblance has hair that is longer than his youthful form, as well as a long blond beard, the same color as his hair. His face also has dark circles under his eyes and heavy wrinkles.
After Luciano Carvalho's transcendence in the fight against Gal, when his Paranormal Exposure level passes 50%, Kian reveals himself and becomes Marked. He then takes over Luciano's body, changing his appearance. He possessed the same physical build as Luciano, continuing with his shaved hair and thinning beard, as well as his yellow eyes.
Personality[]
Kian is described as a very intelligent, arrogant and silent figure, having an extremely manipulative personality, always saying the right things at the right time. When he was still a Chained, despite his almost infinite knowledge, Kian could not conjure any kind of ritual, making him only an influential figure, but not a powerful one. After returning as a Marked he is much more animated, speaking loudly, always having a tone of superiority in his voice, sometimes mocking the attitudes he considers futile, walking and gesticulating in a confident manner.

Trivia[]
- Kian was already being thought of since Ordem Paranormal Season 1. The initial idea was that the director Alvaro Augusto was an immortal vampire, something that was later discarded.

However, Cellbit preferred to create another character to fulfill this role, the current Kian.
