ZVEI

✦ FULL NAME: Unknown. He has been called "the Necromancer" and he prefers the name "Zvei" if asked.
✦ AGE: 25+. He has no idea how old he is, but he's physically and mentally in his mid-20s at least.
✦ SPECIES: Deimori. (Essentially his world's version of demons.)
✦ HEIGHT: 6'0" (182cm)
✦ SCARS: N/A
✦ TATTOOS: N/A
✦ PIERCINGS: Small studs in his ears.

✦ APPEARANCE DESCRIPTION: A full body reference of Zvei can be found here. Tall and lanky, Zvei is actually more built than one would expect of a scientist and mage; he has a decent amount of muscle beneath the baggy labcoat, anyway. He stands out with his mismatched eyes and pointed ears - to say nothing of the tentacles, though he can withdraw those into his back to at least pretend to be a little less bizarre. He takes good care of his appearance, though is not particularly fussy about it; Zvei prefers tighter-fitting shirts, but always covers them up with that baggy labcoat for some reason.

✦ CHANGES IN GAME: N/A

✦ DEMEANOR: High-energy, full of curiosity, and always smiling, Zvei seems to be an outgoing, enthusiastic person! At least initially. After awhile, it starts getting weird that he's always this chipper, regardless of the circumstances. He never gets angry. He never gets upset. He's just like this 24/7. He seems to be a total airhead, but get him started on any topic of interest and he will never shut up. He cannot read a room for shit and will bulldoze his way through anyone and everyone, you've been warned.

✦ VOICE: I don't currently have a voice PB, but I'll edit this once I do! Like his appearance, his voice is energetic and enthusiastic, carrying just a hint that There's Something Wrong With This Guy. But surely he's fine!!

PERMISSIONS

✦ BACKTAGGING: I'll be honest, I'm kind of bad at backtagging! If there's something you want to continue hit me up, though!
✦ FOURTHWALLING: I'd prefer to avoid this.
✦ OOC OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Please warn for suicide/suicidal ideation.

✦ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Zvei has very limited experience with physical affection, so you'd have to make an attempt to socialize him like a feral cat first. He could eventually get used to it? But it's going to take some work. He'll absolutely try to free himself until he's been properly socialized.
✦ RELATIONSHIPS: Zvei is a mess and a half, but if you really want to pursue something then I guess we can work on it! He's going to require a lot of character development, because right now he has no interest and no real capacity for anything genuine. M/any is fine!
✦ SMUT: Totally fine, and far easier than relationships as far as he's concerned! Hope you like tentacles. (Dealing with the tentacles is optional.) M/any here too!
✦ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's a healer. He's a really good healer. If he has his powers, he might be able to outheal any damage you do. But with that said, he'd prefer not to fight and will try to avoid it. Talk to me if you'd like to do something with this!
✦ MINDREADING: Let's discuss this!
✦ MAGICAL INFORMATION: If you can sense magical information about a person, you'll notice that he's remarkably strong. Let me know if you can sense anything else!
✦ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Though not human, he reads as close enough - Zvei is just a mortal with enhanced magical abilities, anyway. Aside from his pointed ears, mismatched eyes, and tentacles, he doesn't really have anything noteworthy here. Well, there is the amnesia, but that isn't something that can be cured.
✦ IC OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Nothing. Zvei is remarkably laidback about everything. So you probably won't get much out of him even if you're trying to piss him off!

WARNINGS

✦ AMNESIA: Basically the crux of this character: Zvei is dealing with total amnesia, having all of his memories of his life completely erased. He retained some basic knowledge of the world around him, but has had to relearn a lot over the past seven+ years. He has not recovered any of his memories, and his entire motivation is to do exactly that. There isn't really any avoiding this topic.
✦ APATHY/LACK OF EMPATHY: Beneath that cheerful exterior, Zvei doesn't really feel much of anything. He is driven solely by trying to reclaim his missing memories and scarcely recognize any emotion he does feel. Likewise, he has a very difficult time connecting with people due to his near nonexistent empathy. These things are also unavoidable when dealing with Zvei, as they define a lot of his internal narration even if he isn't openly talking about them.
✦ UNETHICAL SCIENCE: A lot of what Zvei's research has been has involved willfully leaving his allies to die to monsters so he could study the crystallization of their souls into magical rocks called magicaeli. So yeah, his title of "the Necromancer" is because death seems to follow him around - and it isn't an unearned title. He is absolutely willing to do all sorts of unethical things in the name of scientific advancement.
✦ MANIPULATION: Zvei is by no means a master manipulator, but he was perfectly content to let everyone think he was an airhead until he put his plans into motion. He plays dumb intentionally to get people to think less of him. Though this one is unlikely to come up, he was being manipulated the whole time by someone else, though Zvei doesn't know this.
✦ GENERALLY AN ASSHOLE: Without getting into spoilers for what his deal is, Zvei is generally just not a good person. He's incredibly selfish and looks out for himself above all else, and is willing to do anything to reclaim his lost memories.
✦ GODS AND MORTALS: A large part of his character involves a connection to the Aeli, the World Tree, who is essentially something of a god in its own right. Dealing with Zvei likely will involve dealing with concepts of divinity and the like, though Zvei himself is not religious or particularly fussed about such things.

If you'd like to avoid any of these or any other aspect of Zvei's character, please let me know with a comment below! You can opt out of specific things or just opt out of threading with him entirely. All comments are screened!
