Zoa von Ascheriit Male - 51 - Homosexual - Detective/HandymanCitizen |
PERSONALITY
I'm bleeding, but I'm alive
Mischievous, reckless, upfront and with confidence en masse, Zoa is someone people feel difficult to approach. He seems overwhelming in his being, zealous to a fault and generally too determined to have an engaging conversation with. In short, he behaves too much like a leader for others to want to engage him properly. And since he does not feel the need for personal relationships, friends are kept to a vague minimum whilst having countless acquaintances. Although such is to be expected, as he is a samaritan by nature, but a maverick at heart. As someone who decided on a profession rooted in the desire to aid people in times of crisis, he is a just and righteous person engulfed by the pursuit of good. However, inner conflict and personal discord originated in past experiences often times prevent these qualities from allowing him to extend this dedication to righteousness.
I'm breathing, but I could die.
Zoa is not easy to trust people, nor is he especially interested in the lives of others. Albeit knowing these issues, he is unable to be wary of his own behavior due to a persistent ignorance and constant effort to reach his goals and satisfy his motivations. He dislikes admitting his issues, having promised himself to work on them throughout his life. Owing this to the perfectionist that he is, Zoa is not quick to admit mistakes. And although he is quick to compensate for his flaws, even then does he refuse to acknowledge errors in his thoughts and practice. Partially this is also to the courtesy of his job not tolerating even the slightest slip-ups. On the contrary, this inability to accept failure regardless the circumstances has made Zoa into a quick-thinking, extremely able person who is unlikely to have even the slightest slip up in theory practice. He is well-prepared for most any situation he faces in life.
MOTIVATION
I know my hands still reach for hell.
First and foremost, Zoa is interested in the pursuit of danger and adventure. He seeks the mystery of the unusual, the thrill of the unknown, riddles and mazes of thought. Wherever he goes, wherever he walks, Zoa keeps an eye out for all things out of the ordinary. His ability to discover and map out patterns is immense, his analytical skill one of his greatest assets. This is his pathos, discovery and exploration of all things challenging to the mind are what makes him tick.
Should I feed them the fire?
With his general motivations comes a tangible goal however that he came closer to ever since he entered the city of Braedon. The tracking down and catching of the person who wiped his memory and reverted his physique back to that of a child's. He has no knowledge as to why it happened or who did it, something that intrigues him more than anything else and has caused him to attempt to find the presumed witch why she did such a thing, as he also has no recollection of any events leading up to the incident.
FEAR
I've lost control, had the heaviest heart on hold.
Upfront and fairly obvious is Zoa's fear of failure. It defines him as the perfectionist and passionate thinker he is, controlling his every intellectual step. It follows him wherever he goes, has influenced his choice of profession and never seizes to be a source of peril. In everything he does, in all of his proceedings Zoa desires to be perfect because he fears failure as it slight mishaps have had great consequences for him in the past.
BIOGRAPHY
That face never aged.
Zoa's life started a long time ago far away from Braedon. Something he can not remember properly, due to his memory beginning only around ten years ago. He had woken up amidst a woodland alongside his trustworthy companion, Lying Cat, not far away from Braedon with little to no knowledge of what had happened or why he was there. Only his name and the memory of his basic personality remained intact. Everything else seemed lost in a blurry vision of what was before. The strangest occurence however was that he had woken up in the body of a child. His own body as a child to be exact. Seemingly reverted to the physique he possessed at the age of around twelve or thirteen. Compelled to discover who he was, the sole desire to discover what he had forgotten remained. And so, he began his search in the nearest city of Braedon. An eery city, vast with mystery, crime and corruption.
Escaped the tragedy of time.
During his time in Braedon, Zoa pursued becoming part of the guarding force to try and pursue people of high ranks. But with the physique of a child, he naturally had no chance to become employed anywhere. So he decided to do the thing he felt he was good at. Solving problems. And so he became Braedon's "Child Wonder Detective". With the aid of Lying Cat and his intellect, Zoa took over the city in a storm, becoming Braedon's most famous handyman. In the meantime, he made many allies and acquaintances. All the way up to the aristocracy and down to the muddiest corners of the Dark Town he had built himself a reputation to last by solving a variety of poeple's problems, both aiding the guard force as well as the people from the Dark Town to evade the law.
This once real light caught in time.
With this immense activity, he created the foundation for the brand that is "Zoa von Ascheriit" today. Known throughout the city as the most famous problem solver as well as a reknown scientist and researcher of the unnatural, he enjoys public approval. On the flipside, his ruthless pursuit of the truth has made him several enemies in the political world who would not want Zoa coming anywhere near their affairs with his investigations. Overtime, he got lost in trying to uphold the business he had created, beginning to neglect the mystery that was his amnesia, as well as the child like stature. Noteworthy as well is that Zoa has not aged a day since then. Ten years have past, and he is still going strong. Although people are beginning to wonder if Zoa is hiding anything. He should be in his twenties right now but looks no older than when he first arrived. And with a reclining business, he has started to focus on himself again. Trying to peer through the thicket of Braedon, he feels close to a big discovery. Just a little while longer...
Skills/Magic
Lying Cat - The most important thing in his arsenal of tools. Although he is more of a friend and companion than anything else. The shapeshifting naked Lying Cat! A species not from anywhere near Braedon, she has served him great deeds in the past and is the only lead he has to his old life. Her name comes from the fact that she can point out when someone is lying. No matter how big or small the small the lie, the noise she makes when hearing a fraudulence is enunciating something at least resembling the word "Lying". She can also alter her size freely, being as small as a newborn kitten, to becoming the size of an elephant. As such, Zoa often relies on her as his bodyguard, as well as horse. They have a very close relationship, and she might be the only creature Zoa would give his life for.
Potions & Magical Tools - Zoa is a herbalist. The seemingly instinctive scientific knowledge was there ever since he woke up in that forest, leading him to believe he was a scholar in the past life. He has numerous potions and magical tools in his reportoire. Mostly including, but not limited to:
- Pouch of Storage: The classical bottomless pouch. It has space for just about anything, is almost infinitely elastic and serves as Zoa's storage for all the things he requires during investigation. It is strapped to his belt buckle.
- Sword Handle: An empty sword handle with dragon scales carved into the grip. It serves as a defensive weapon. It can not hurt enemies, but paralyzes their muscles upon contact with the top of the handle. He carries this his back.
- Strength Potion: This potion briefly increases his strength tenfold for a minute or two without any drawbacks. Successive ingestion of these leads to terrible explosive diarrhea only moments after intake.
- The Oracle's Lens: A unique magical object in the form of a crystal orb that allows Zoa to view any place he knows. It can also glow in the dark and take pictures of the surroundings.
- The Golden Key: A literal golden key that can change its shape to fit any keyhole in the world. It can also change keyholes to become un-openable without usage of the Golden Key.
- The Copper Coin: A reflecting coin that Zoa can mentally track. He always knows exactly where this coin is located.
