Awful, Terrible, No-good Layabout
Name:
Zacharis Stein
Age:
21
Side:
Unaffiliated
Species: (Novushkun Only)
Human
Hometown (Novushkun Only):
Tholonis
Appearance:
Almost entirely comprised of skin and bones, with nary any meat on her, Zacharis is more focused on her conquest in scientific study rather than make-up or romance or other trivial cow dung of the same category. Her most glaring feature is her blazing long hair that, if it wasn't always all over the place, could reach down to her knees. Her eyes are golden-brownish-red, and her hair has an unnatural white stripe running down the front. Her earrings bear the appearance of a gold cross with a ring, and, for express aesthetic purposes, she wears a pair of rings chained together on either hand.
She is 154 cm tall, and weighs 45 kg.
Abilities:
Zacharis is an R&D genius, to say the least of it. Through black market dealings and cannibalizing off broken artillery cannons and failed projects from Novushkun armories, she has created a sizable amount of her own gadgets. Were she left to her own devices, and actually allowed to work amongst the Novushkun military, she would have churned out enough weapons and armors to supply an entire army by now.
Zacharis is learned in the theories of almost all existing magics, or at least those that have been recorded in books. While she doesn’t have the ability to wield them to their utmost power, she combines this with her technological know-how and her weaponry to magnify her magic, allowing her to stay toe-to-toe with Eilow mages. As a matter of fact, she seems to believe she has surpassed them. After all, she is the only one who has managed to create an entire new being by itself. It isn't clear just what lengths she had to go to with that, however...
Zacharis is a prominent duelist. Though certainly not the best, nor even second best, she is quite learned with the sword. She is certainly not strong or even fast, but she makes up for either with a sharp eye and a keen mind, relying on trapping her opponent’s weapons, and proceeding to blow them up to kingdom come with a well-placed explosion from one of her gadgets. What, did you think she’d fight fair?
Weapon/Magic instrument:
While Zacharis does not exactly use a Magic Instrument, her sword acts as one occasionally. Her sword is, like her, garishly decorated, golden and red being its primary colors, with intricate designs on the mouth of its scabbard as well as its handle.
She also wields an assortment of weapons, ranging from guns to grenades, and even what seems to be a rocket launcher, powered by magic, firing magic. The suitcase she carries with her supplies her with these things.
Bio (PM @Playful Heartstrings ):
Her parents must have thought her a freak when she was born, because Zacharis never knew her real parents. Left at an orphanage in the slums of Tholonis, Zacharis grew up almost entirely alone. It wasn't because the other children shunned her. In fact, it was the exact opposite. She distanced herself from others, choosing to study rather than join in. No, not study, as in read books and behave like a nerd. She studied the other kids, and even the caretakers. Once or twice, the adults and the other children would find her lying down under someone else’s bed or desk, doing whatever it is that she was supposedly doing. These were only counting the times they actually found her doing this.
Personality:
For all her intelligence and remarkable ability with technology and magic, Zacharis is notably...off. She is socially incapable of holding a conversation without drifting off to something else, if she hasn't already just left the conversation out of boredom. She is notably also unable to comprehend most behaviours, and believes that all emotions have some sort of scientific process to it. Her take on magic is disturbingly similar, for someone who has achieved so much without proper guidance - she believes magic is also a completely different branch of science, and seeks to dig out its deepest secrets on the fundamental level. It is a fairly known fact that she doesn't seem to acknowledge what fear is, or if it means anything to her at all. As a whole, she tends to scare the crap out of people just how unnatural her behaviour is.
Zacharis possesses a strange fixation upon the smallest of things, and has a stranger obsession over Poormin-created Hybrids. While she despises the Poormin for their failures, she makes it clear that their Hybrid creations are one of the most wonderful things she has ever seen. Coming from her, however, this might not be a compliment.
She seems incapable of understanding social cues as well. Whenever she does speak, she tends to disregard other people’s opinions, regarding her own as the ‘correct’ one, no matter what. After all, her theories are backed by evidence, what water does another’s hold? When she is refuted, or, heavens forbid, found wrong, she completely loses it, demanding explanations, and then refusing to hear these explanations. She throws almost child-like tantrums whenever this sort of thing happens. It takes her about an hour or so to cool down, but for the mean time, she will be mostly glowering at others, and generally just huffing about.
