Name – Zygus of the Heiroans Age – 27 Gender – Male Alignment – Lawful Good Social Class – Outcast Occupation – Ississtir (The Ophite term for a blacksmith who can also enchant weapons) Race – Ophite Weapons – Despite knowing how to enchant and use a large variety of weapons, Zygus chooses to carry a spear which he made himself. He named it Ibicella while he made it, and identifies it as female. It is roughly 7 ½ feet tall and carved from strong mesquite. The steel spearhead is decorated with delicate labyrinthine designs. The spear is adorned at the top with Ophite teeth, stuck into the wood with magic, taken from dead enemies after battles. Zygus has only three, two of which are from his time in the tribe, one of which was taken from the male who harassed his sister, Fytha. Other trophies on the spear include a small ruby, a polished lapis lazuli stone, some dangling feathers from hunting achievements and a finger bone taken from a human from when Zygus was still amongst the Heiroans. Physical Appearance – Zygus is 6’10” and well-muscled, with particular strength in his arms. He is mostly white- quite unusual for his race- with undulating red patterns down his back and strong tail and red flecks across his body. For this, he earned the nickname of Bloodback amongst some. His face is rather less flat than most Ophites, its structure calling to mind that of a dinosaur’s. He has gleaming crimson eyes, full of thought. His chest is scarred- claw marks from his fight with Fytha’s harasser, a wound which made blame impossible to avoid. The scars are now thick and welted, pink without any scales to cover it. Zygus, as some Ophites do, doesn’t usually wear many clothes- his genitals are internal in any case. Sometimes he will don a shirt and pants if he must, but mostly he chooses to go bare, to display the strength and grace of his body. However, he does wear two gold bracelets, one on each arm. These are thick bands, inlaid with lapis lazuli and decorated with patterns to match those on his spearhead. He made these as well, and enchanted them to be a storage space for magical energy, just in case. Personality – Zygus is proud, though not enough to be vain or overbearing. He is quiet, rarely speaking and, if he does, his utterances rarely exceed a few words. His style of speech is laconic- he can whip out a short, stinging insult if need be, a witty but brisk phrase. He does not allow himself to be offended and, more than this, he does not allow his sister, Fytha, to be offended. Zygus generally tries to stay level-headed, restraining his temper and aggression in favour of a few restrained words. This was a quality taught to him by his father, Skurrsis, after he attacked a peer over a small insult- Skurrsis pointed out that it is better to keep friends than to kill them. Even so, Zygus’ temper sometimes breaks, and his calm and quiet façade breaks down into violence. These outbreaks are often destructive, as was the one that led to his departure from home. Zygus views his own body as relatively dispensable- he is not as afraid of physical suffering or scars as other people are. However, he is very over-protective of others, mostly his sister. He is often self-sacrificing for the safety of others- not to the extent that he becomes servile, but to the extent that he would throw himself in harm’s way if it would protect someone he loves. The bonds he forms are rare but very powerful, as is the one with Fytha. He had a strong connection with his father and was on the brink of forming one with a female named Fersis when he left his tribe. History – Zygus and his sister, Fytha, hatched at about the same time in the tribe of the Heiroans in the deserts of Ashoka. They grew up together and have always been very close, despite their differences. Zygus was originally set to become a warrior, but his talent for enchantment was discovered when he was thirteen, when he started to make rocks levitate for fun. As a result he was taught to craft weapons, both as a blacksmith and as an enchanter. As his abilities in fighting were also useful, he continued to work as a warrior as well, and was highly revered amongst the Heiroans for this. All throughout his youth, he was supported by his father, who died when Zygus was 25, leaving him rather empty and unhappy. He reached out to a female named Fersis, and was on the cusp of forming an emotional attachment with her when an older male began to blackmail Fytha for suggesting that religious fluidity was possible. When she told him this, he was enraged and killed him. The situation was a messy one- if the others found out why the male was blackmailing Fytha, they’d be thrown out anyways. So, they left, searching for a more accommodating place to stay. Zygus hopes to return some day, partially because he misses Fersis but mostly because the lands of the Heiroans are his home, and he feels daunted by the unfamiliarity of this world. Misc. – Some music: Azam Ali- Neni Desem Axiom of Choice- Raindrops Gogol Bordello- When Universes Collide (More for immigration-type themes than anything else.) Thrice- Firebreather Note: Fytha's profile is relevant both because it is about Zygus' sister and because it gives more information on the Ophites and their culture.
