[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/2dvq6j6.jpg,true][atrb=width,453,true] SAPPIN' DAT SENTRY GENERAL INFORMATION NAME: Augustinas Zephyrus Connover NICKNAMES: "Spy", Z, Zeph, Zephyr, A.Z., Augie (only if you want to die a slow, horribly painful death), and "pretty boy" RACE: only human AGE: 35 GENDER: male SEXUALITY: bi RESIDENCE: Khthonia, lawless OCCUPATION: Infamous mercenary, assassin, and thief. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION REFLECTION: "What do ya' say, Oz? A black suit or white?" Zeph looks younger than his age because he has taken such good care of his body over the years; it is, after all, his most prized possession. He's tall and slim, yet has well-defined muscles which he doesn't mind showing off. His skin is pale, and relatively free of scars, so as a whole, he's relatively unintimidating. From afar, he's just another guy in a suit, but if you dare to venture closer there are two red crescent-shaped marks on his cheekbones. They almost look like painted tribal marking, but they are actually self-inflicted scars. They are difficult to spot (even when Zeph doesn't cover them up) because they blend in to his blazing red mat of hair. Most of his fiery mane is just long enough to get annoying knots in it, but in the back there is a long, flowing pony tail. Be warned: if you make any attempt to braid it, he will stab you. He keeps a pair of goggles strapped onto his head to keep his hair out of his eyes, but you'll hardly ever see him actually wear them. He takes pride in his icy blue eyes; orbs which can either sparkle with joy or glare with soulless hostility whenever he chooses. As noted before, he isn't the most masculine-looking figure, but he doesn't need to be. If fact, his job requires quite the opposite; who ever. He's very conscious about his appearance, and purposely makes himself appear harmless. After all, he can drop that facade whenever he needs to. He wears crisp tuxedos all the time, though hates ties. He's strangled enough tie-wearing millionaires to know that they're not safe. Inside is suit, hidden well out of sight yet in an easy-to-reach position, Z always carries around his knife. He also has a cigarette case in his right inside jacket pocket. It's filled with cigarettes (obviously), as well as a lighter and a few lock picks. FACE CLAIM: Reno from Final Fantasy VII and Pen Pen from Neon Genesis Evangelion PERSONALITY AND MORE THE GOOD: No matter what you think about Zeph, you have to admit that he is AMBITIOUS, even if it's for all the wrong reasons. If Zeph wants something done, he'll do it himself to the best of his ability, and even then he will want to be better. He works to make his assassinations more efficient, his thefts more fruitful, his "interrogations" more effective. When he isn't on any jobs, he is surprisingly SOCIABLE, HUMOUROUS, and outright CHEERFUL around others. He is actually a really nice guy most of the time, and is usually the heart of the party. As long as he's not working, it's all fun and games in the life of Zephyr. Just try to wipe that annoying smile off his face; I guarantee you'll fail. His job requires to be CLEVER and RESOURSEFUL. If he wasn't, then he would probably be dead. That's how it is in the life of a wanted criminal. Despite the considerable bounty on his head, he enjoys poking fun at figures of authority, whether it be nobles, H.A.W.K.S., or gang members. While some call it reckless foolishness, Zeph considers it FEARLESSNESS. You have to be willing to take some crazy chances to make a living in the Down Below, so Zeph does just that. THE BAD: Unfortunately, when you kill people for a living your life isn't filled with puppy dogs and rainbows. Zeph has a certain state of mind that he goes into whenever he's on a job. Is it an alternate personality? Is it a cold facade? Is he simply dropping his friendly mask? No one can possibly know but him, and he doesn't give a damn which it is. When he gets like this, he is unbelievably SADISTIC. He acts like he actually wants to hurt and kill other people. His knife has been the cause of rivers of blood and storms of tears with thunderous screams. He can effectively be labeled as a HEARTLESSdemon. He doesn't make tight connections with people, whether he's on a job or not. This disconnection from the world makes him UNCARING and utterly RECKLESS at times. This recklessness especially comes out when he's drunk, seeing as he has an addiction to both alcohol and nicotine. He is always SUSPICIOUS of others, even if he doesn't outwardly reveal his doubts. Therefore, he has his share of secrets which he won't dare tell anyone. He is NOT OPEN to anyone, and often tangles himself in a web of lies and deceit. BELIEF: Atheist. WEAPON SLOT: A simple butterfly knife sharpened to the peak of perfection. PAIR BOND: [picture]There's a funny story behind this. Zeph was working for a shady guy whom he ended up stabbing in the back. Literally. When he went to take all the valuables he could find from his house, he found a curious egg and took it. Why not? After all, if it didn't hatch, he could always cook it into an omelet. But it did hatch, into a bird that looked like it was wearing a tux. And of course, how could he not love something that was as fashionable as himself? Zeph gave him the name Oswald (and the nickname Oz). LIKES AND HOBBIES: Can killing be a hobby? Yes, it can. Just like Zeph has an addiction to nicotine and alcohol, he also has an addiction to the rush he gets from killing. Ending a life in an instant, ending their pain, ending their joys... it's like having the power of a god. When he isn't stabbing, stealing from, or sleeping with someone, then he's getting drunk, smoking, or pushing someone's buttons. If he's not doing that, then he enjoys DISLIKES AND TURN-OFFS: The only thing that Zeph truly hates is an empty bottle of whiskey. Obviously because it's not full. ASPIRATIONS: Zeph has two goals. The first is to take care of his family. Since he's the firstborn, he feels some responsibility towards them, even now that they're all adults. The second, is to topple the government and all forms of authority. Sure, he can only cause so much chaos, but someday, somehow, he believes he'll get his chase. LOOKING BACK: Zeph's worst memory was his first kill. He was young then, no older than 16, and it was completely unintentional. He was in the middle of stealing from a weapons dealer, being only a petty thief at the time, and got caught. The owner was a violent fellow, so Zeph was forced to use the weapons he was stealing to defend himself, killing the owner. He was covered in blood, and reeked with fear. He could hardly talk for the following few weeks, haunted by what he had done in his thoughts and his dreams. There were a few similar events which followed his first kill, desensitizing him to the blood, the screams, the feeling. His best memory is quite possibly the first time he ever truly enjoyed killing someone. He was hired to send some kid named Drust a message he would never forget. He didn't need to kill anyone; It wasn't even implied in the mission description. When he got to the kid's house, there was one other boy there. By the looks of him, he was a friend, not a relative. A close friend by they way they acted. That got Zeph's gears turning. After knocking both of them out and tying them up, his work was done. He could have left a note written in blood or something and leave, but Zeph wasn't satisfied. When the two awoke, he began cutting at Drust's friend with a scalpel (he hadn't gotten his prized butterfly yet). The screams were so... hypnotic. It was as if he was dreaming. And it was the best dream ever. The scalpel had a shallow blade, so it took plenty of time for the kid to die. But he wasn't finished. Not yet. He went over to Drust and cut a nice, deep wound which would leave an unforgettable scar. "Consider this a warning..." MISCELLANY: Zeph learned parkour when he was young, helping to make him an excellent thief an assassin. OUT OF CHARACTER OOC NAME: Ice AGE: 16 GENDER: female EXPERIENCE: foreverrrrr REFERRED BY: N/A.
