kalim al asim

168 cm

Housewarden of Scarabia. Born into vast wealth, he is a generous boy who always has a smile on his face. He's grown up with Jamil since a young age, and considers him a brother in all but blood.

Kalim only eats food that Jamil prepares for him, and nothing else. He says that at home, he had a tendency to get sick after eating food made by other people. It's implied that he may have been getting deliberately poisoned. Kalim hates curry, because Jamil was once put into a two-week coma after taste-testing Kalim's curry that someone had poisoned. Kalim's favorite food, coconut juice, has historically been used in attempts to counteract poisons and drug overdose in places like India and Africa. He wears the same eyeliner and eyeshadow that Jamil uses. When using cosmic-type magic in battle, his attacks appear to be made of light instead of the usual shadow. He is one of only three students with this effect, alongside Rook and Silver. His hypnotized personality, while doesn't reflect Kalim's true nature, is the opposite of his usual behavior: he is sharp with his words and relentlessly pushes the students of his dorm during training.

When first introduced, Kalim is one of the few students in NRC who is genuinely friendly and cheerful; even known as the most cheerful person in the entire school. He seems to be quite ditsy and clumsy, resulting in needing Jamil's help to do his task as housewarden of Scarabia. Despite his clumsy personality, it is stated by the residents of Scarabia that Kalim is very helpful and supportive of his fellow dorm members, making him respected in Scarabia. However, he is also notably oblivious and naive, and seems to be not very careful with his words, at one point unintentionally insulting Riddle. Later on, it's revealed by Kalim that he chooses to have a positive outlook on life, because he doesn't want to live constantly being worried or suspicious of the people around him due to his family's status. Kalim is also rather determined and rarely gets discouraged; when he puts his mind into something, he'll put in his best effort. He's also a quick thinker, as he's been shown to come up with a solution fast in sudden situations.

Kalim's signature spell is called "Oasis Maker". It can summon a large amount of fresh water with only a small amount of magic and effort on his part. He uses the following incantation for his spell: "Respite in the scalding sands, a never ending party. Dance! Sing! Oasis Maker!" The first magic type he has ever used was a wind spell.

Kalim is a shorter-than-average boy with dark skin. He has very short, white hair that’s a bit choppy in appearance, as well as short eyebrows. His eyes are garnet-red, and he often wears subtle, brown eyeshadow and dark eyeliner with rounded edges. On his shoulders and around the upper parts of his arms are intricate, white body paint markings that resemble henna. Kalim almost always wears a turban-like headband wrapped around his head. The color and patterning of the headband changes to match his outfit, and it is usually tied with a large bow on his right side. Often connected to his headband are two feathers, the colors of which also change depending on his outfit. Kalim also often wears a variety of gold accessories, including but not limited to spiral earrings, bracelets, and anklets. He is almost always seen with a friendly expression and a big smile.
