Name: Zachariah Race: Human Age: 18 years old Birthdate: Winter of 493 AV City:Sunberth
Physical Description: Standing in at 5 foot 10 inches and weighing in at a 190 pounds, Zachariah is fairly built. He definitely has an athletic form with finely tuned muscles to boot. The human does have one truly defining feature aside from his facial features, and that is the intricate tattoo that rests across his shoulder blades and the base of his neck. It seems to be a design that looks very Celtic (for visual purposes) in terms of design, and if asked Zach will say it has something to do with his brother, but will not go any further.
Zachariah has a fairly unique face, especially with his fair complexion. He has a pair of dark brown eyes that often look all black in certain shadows. It is also in his eyes that give him an older appearance, more in his late twenties and early thirties than in his late teens. Zach has short hair that he generally fashions into a spike fohawk.
The eighteen year old can generally be seen wearing dark clothing, black being his favorite color. Many of his t-shirts tend to have intricate designs on them with lighter colors (white or red), just for an added flair that is often not seen underneath his Burglar’s Vest and cloak (which are also black).
Character Concept: Zachariah, or Zach for short, is one cocky S.O.B. He makes a living off of ripping people off and getting away with it. Sure, most think he’s a simple pickpocket, being 18 and all, but there is more to the man than the stealing and unsavory livelihood he has come to own with a certain brand of dark humor.
He lives for the thrill, and excitement that he receives from getting away with things. Since he never started out with that much to begin with, there were always people better off than he that he could take from. In his own mind it’s a sense of morality, a dark Robin Hood maybe. Zach has no qualms when it comes to stealing, but when it is escalated up to violence, or murder, that’s where his line is drawn. A line that is increasingly being pushed further and further to the darker side of life. Where he had once thought stealing from certain rich, snobby people was okay, now he steals from anyone that has what he desires.
With that being said, Zachariah is definitely self-motivated. He is egocentric, and for anyone to get him to do anything for them, they will need to come up with a damn good reason on how it would benefit Zach as well. Nothing is free in this world, as Zach would say.
His goals in life are not many, aside from maybe becoming the perfect thief. With that being said, he has been wanting to join up with The Crimson Edge of Sunberth, and assimiliate within their ranks for a short while now, after realizing that he could get so much more out of his lowly life with them on his side.
Character History: Growing up in Sunberth was not easy. Zachariah lived with his folks and brother for the early years, being protected by them, but yet it was still difficult nonetheless.
The first lesson, Zach learned, as a young boy was the value of a gold miza. For his fifth birthday he received money from his parents, not much, but enough to buy whatever toy he wanted. On his way to get it with his older brother Gabriel (15 at the time), Zach was mugged. Safe to say he was disappointed.
The next day, he set out to retrieve his money, because that’s what it was his. He could not find the man that had taken it from him, but he found a rich kid who was traveling through the city with his parents, acting like a prick and snobby. Zach figured it couldn’t hurt, not like the kid would miss it with the way he was acting. He ended up being successful in swiping it and it was his first plunge into the life of a pickpocket.
His brother had found out and lectured him immediately on how that was wrong to steal from others. The parents never found out about that first incident. They did not care what their boys did, too wrapped up in their own worries on keeping the house than anything.
When Zachariah turned seven, his parents left. He never figured out WHY they left, only that the house was taken from them, and they basically vanished without another word to neither him nor Gabriel. The eldest brother took control as if he had had it the whole time. He got an honest job, which was hard to find in Sunberth, and got them a small room to share. Zach helped in his own ways, pickpocketing the snobby rich people, and keeping out of Gabriels’ way when he was working. Life was all right for a few years, as Zach began to think of Gabriel as his father and not just brother.
It was not until Gabriel was murdered at the tender age of 27, that Zachariah experienced true anguish. He never learned the full details surrounding his brothers’ death, aside from the fact that he was stabbed in the gut. Rumors have told him that he was trying to protect the store from being robbed, but ultimately failed, which led to his death.
Zach mourned his death, and could not stand being in the room that the brothers had shared for a decade. He promptly left with all his belongings and started living on the streets. His thievery skills becoming more and more proficient as the days went by, simply for the fact that he was doing it for survival more than anything these days.
In this last season something in Sunberth caught his eye, the Crimson Edge. Ever since he has been trying to work with them, in hopes of bettering his own meager life and skills in the process.
