Spoiler for Kaa:

The [Hauberk of Sigma], as worn by a Lander Warpriest of Sigma

Character Name: Kaa
Level: 90
Race: Human
Class: Cleric
Subclass: Warpriest
Guild: Of Pence
HP: 10k
MP: 11k

Items
• Hauberk of Sigma - An Epic set of plate armor awarded from completing the "Divine Avengers" series of legendary quests. This questline is unlocked by first achieving Exalted reputation with the reclusive Warpriests of Sigma, then speaking to the NPC named Fury, Lord of Sigma. The questline will take a devout follower through some of the hardest Heroic mode dungeons in Elder Tales before culminating in the [Battle of New York] raid. While the questline is accomplishable by reasonably competent players, the amounts of hoops one has to go through in order to be exalted with the Warpriests of Sigma renders such armor ridiculously rare. The stats bring a balance of healing and offensive power, thus complementing the heals of a Cleric while augmenting the searing Light attacks from learning the ways of a Warpriest. Likewise, the armor provides a mix of Dark damage and physical damage resistance.
• The Promised Ring - A simple Heirloom (levels with the player, equal to a Rare of his item level) ring that is a testament of his marriage to Anitalisk.
• Warfist of Ragnaros - A heavy 2H Legendary hammer burning with molten fury. It is an incredibly rare drop that Samurai and various classes fight to claim when it drops off the Firelord Ragnaros. You have to have no life or be a smelly ninja to own this weapon.

Playstyle
Kaa is first and foremost a Cleric, as such in combat he is right in the thick of it, providing flash heals, cleanses, aoe nuke heals and huge replenishing recharges to his allies. Because Clerics can worship different dieties thus having slightly different abilities and the Warpriest subclass itself can have different denominations, no Cleric/Warpriest is exactly alike. Kaa roleplays after the Warpriests he worked so hard to be exalted with, giving him some special skills taught by the Warpriest of Sigma NPC trainer. In keeping with the very aggressive nature of the NPC faction, these skills are sacred-themed and very aggressive:

• Consecration applies an AOE pulsing debuff on the ground, burning all enemies standing on it slowly and slowly healing all allies in its effect.
• Justice Hammer is an impressive attack that Kaa throws a shining replica of his weapon at the target up to 10m away, exploding on contact and stunning him for 4s. Reduces damage resistance of Unholy creatures and players.
• Evil Heart Turn fills Kaa's eyes with searing light which the Cleric then directs into a target. This forces the target to witness the sin he is guilty of and makes him flee in terror for 5s. Double duration against Unholy creatures and players.
• Divine Sacrifice is a powerful explosive attack in which the Cleric explodes with holy wrath, dealing 66% HP damage to the cleric and doubling that damage to everything around him for 10m.
• Judge Jury Executioner is a cool-sounding and very cool looking attack on a short CD that slams the target with holy Light, dealing some damage, heals and manas Kaa, and applies a short-lived debuff on the target such that Kaa and his allies attacking the target can heal and regen.

At the start of Elder Tales, this Cleric/Warpriest specialization was so IMBA that it has been repeatedly nerfed, buffed and retuned over the years. For a long period of time the class was virtually unplayable and that reduced numbers further. At the time of the Cataclysm, Kaa has dps enough to solo world mobs, while having enough heals to stay alive. However, Kaa functions best in a group, healing, Sealing and Judging, thus bringing very delicious raid buffs.

Pre-Cataclysm, Kaa's overspecialization made him a very progression-minded raider, and as such he would often guild hop as the drama in such progression guild often tears them apart. With the introduction of Arenas to Elder Tales, Kaa and Anitalisk formed an Arena 2s team that achieved 1800+ in rankings. He kept on focusing on more and more combat skills, thus making himself better at conventional aspects of Elder Tales. Post-Cataclysm however, Kaa found himself devoid of the most basic skills of daily life, made worst by previous having no life IRL. These instead fall to Anitalisk, who took up Housekeeper to run an Inn that profited by charging lower rates than NPC inns.

With the discovery of Kouden, Kaa developed even more variations of his divine magic, sometimes as simple as using Consecrate on his weapon to create a torch, others as complex as stacking JJJ into an internally reflective object that when thrown and shattered explodes like a bomb. Because he is a doctor IRL, he can instruct Pharmacists to gather, synthesize and dispense medications to treat some diseases, and otherwise use his holy magic to perform miraculous feats of healing, including combat resurrection if an ally's HP falls to zero but hasn't disintegrated.

Kaa may be living at Pence for now, but he takes time to go on a search for other Lander Warpriests of Sigma and learn more divine combat magics. As he completes these quests, Kaa unlocks more quests from Fury. However, his searches garner clues that perhaps the Warpriests, long suspicious of Adventurers in Gaia, are part of the cause of why players are stuck in Elder Tales in the first place...

Other ways of using Kouden would be the use the lore behind each roleplaying class. In Kaa's case, it would be following the footsteps of Brother Titus, who once tamed a Wyvern that he rode to Westlande after leaping onto the back of one. Except no Adventurer had ever done that before and most likely would involve taking lethal fall damage.
