EoT App - Zephyr

Come join us at the #ElementsofTiadar ! You'll know it'll be great also because I'll be there

“The ends will justify the means. Do not hesitate to stain your hands if it means cleansing the world of demons.”
- Zephyr

► Name / Aliases:
- His real name is Noctus Rille, but that remains a secret (no living being knows his real name except him).
- Everyone only knows him as Zephyr, the White Tiger of the Night and several other titles that he has earned through his reputation. (it just occurred to me that I have quite the affinity to wind names ^^”)

► Faction:
Cult of Jintaci

► Race:
Evendyr (though much like his name, no one is aware of his human side... his appearance and abilities make him seem like a full-fledged Arkenean)

► Class:
Nightflier

► Weapon:
Zephyr specializes in close combat using the weapons permanently attached to his persona – his giant metal arm and the “solidified shadows that almost seem to pour out from his body” (read “Additional Info”).

► Major Specialization:
N/A

► Minor Specialization:
N/A
► Age:
18

► Sex:
Male

► Height & Weight:
- 126 lbs (not counting his metal arm, whose weight is offset by Zephyr’s ability to control gravity)
- 5’7”

► Residence:
Nomadic (Zephyr goes wherever he is needed... or wherever he believes the key to power lies)

► Profession:
The mystery leader of the Cultists

► Personality:
Zephyr is not a man of words but a man of action – he will only speak when needed and is not very social. Despite being an Evendyr – the lowest class in the Tiadari social ladder – he has earned a fearsome reputation and possesses a presence that demands attention. He believes that the ends justify the means and is willing to sacrifice anything to maintain his power. When speaking, he has a special way of twisting words, so anything he says may have a cryptic meaning behind it. He has discarded his human side and fully embraced the monstrous qualities of an Arkenean... or so he seems.

However, having been isolated from the world for all his life, Zephyr still retains a child-like curiosity for new things and may examine them closely; he will do his best to hide his interest, but it will be rather evident.

Thoughts on Humans (Pity): “Weaklings... they are so pathetic that killing them would only serve to be a waste of time”
(In reality, he wishes to spare humans as tribute to that last shred of humanity he has... that, and he wants to spare them for his late human mother, Galia.)
Thoughts on Hybrids and Tiadari (Apathetic): “They are no different from everyone else. Demons. They must die.”
(Essentially, there is no bias. Everyone must die at the hands of Amatae’s Demon).

► Background: It ended up getting wayy too long so I put it on a .pdf -> wingz-g.deviantart.com/art/Zep…

► Additional:

- those “Shadows”... Nightfliers don’t actually have the ability to bend shadows to their will; they’re actually a fabric that he can bend into any shape using gravity. Zephyr controls the shape of the fabric using the weights attached to the ends of the fabric – he attacks with it by increasing its weight while striking a foe to increase the force of the attack. The inertia of the fabric / weights is a key factor to his fighting style, so he’s often moving around. (If you look closely at his design, you’ll see those shadows actually “stitched” into his clothes). The fabric can form either a demonic hand or a spearhead and its range is very limited (about 2 metres radius).

NOTE: because controlling both his metal arm and the fabric at the same time is very difficult, he usually opts for one or the other during a battle – he can transition between them (even mid-battle) when he wishes, but using both at the same time puts a tremendous amount of strain on him.
Also, because the fabric is difficult to use (even on its own) he favours his metal arm over his “Shadows”, but he will often use the “Shadows” as an intimidation tactic.

- Noctus created the persona Zephyr based on the deities Ladrim (god of mystery) and Ladrimme (Goddess of the Moon), hence becoming Zephyr, the White Tiger of the Night. He also wears a black mask as tribute to his Nightflier ancestry (and he never takes the mask off... if anyone so much as tries to remove it from his face, they will die a swift death).

- The white trailing coat he wears is another part of his persona as the White Tiger of the Night... instead of mainly wearing dark colours like most Nightfliers, he emphasizes his relationship with the moon... and also the trailing coat is kinda like a tail and looks cool when he’s jumping from high heights.

► Preferred RP Methods:
dA chatroom, comments, notes, Skype (note me for skype name).

A/N: I was trying at first, but I simply ran out of time and rushed the remainder of the shading. I'll debate on fixing the colours when I get back or I might just get lazy and can the idea...

I'm pretty mad though; his original design was simply too busy. I might even end up redoing the app just to give him a simpler outfit and make him a lot easier on the eyes. Ohwell~ poor Zephyr... butchered at the hands of a lazy wingz (speaking of lazy wingz, I can feel bloody-chan glaring at me~ DONT WORRY I CAN MAKE ANOTHER OC FOR THE THING LOL)
