Appearance//
Apperance: Zilo's appearance is generic for someone that studies the dark arts. Let's start with the robe first of all, it's completely black with inscriptions and other forms of ancient symbols sitting upon it. On the back of his robe is a dark black hood that comes up covering most of his hair. Zilo has short grey hair that comes down in front of his eyes, from what some can tell since his hood is up most of the time, his hair is pretty short. Without the hood though, his hair flows down to about his mid back. He has dark grey eyes, that are void of most emotions, due to the strict training he's been through. His skin is sort of an olive color as he spends most of his time studying ancient text. Even though he's spent most of his time studying in a room, and not outside with the others, he is fairly large, his physique is almost on par with a running back for a football team. Just can't tell with all the clothes on him.
Clothing/Armor: There's not much going for Zilo when it comes to clothing or armor. He wears a chain vest underneath his robe, which helps with protecting him from some swords and daggers. Arrows, and lances easily get through the little links so it's basically useless against them. His main attire is some black gloves, a clothed robe, that has an intricate silver design weaved into them. And what appears to be a cross on his neck. Other than that, he wears his skin if that counts.
Personality//[/
Personality: Zilo's personality is Kind of weird to be honest. The young man seems to lack emotions as he sits there reading books all the time. But that is actually the furthest thing away from the truth. If you decide to take the time to make him into a friend, he has a strict habit of protecting anyone that he feels is an ally. Another strange thing that he has about him, is an unnatural holy presences about him. Though being a student of the dark arts, he has an interest in being able to use staffs and other equipment as such. Zilo is actually pretty lonely, as he doesn't try to talk to anyone, and he's a bit to shy to even respond to them. That or he's just afraid he's going to mess up when he's trying to say something. Half of the time when he speaks, it comes out blunt and impersonal, often getting on the wrong side of people.
Zilo also has a habit, of collecting all kinds of books, regardless of what they're about, he thinks that it's always nice to have something to read on ya, in case a situation gets boring, or if he finds himself waiting on someone. His biggest flaw, is being distant from people. He won't go out of his way to say hi, and he will hardly respond to someone when they're talking to him. Though, if they're good enough friends, they may be able to get him to talk a bit more than what a stranger could. When Zilo's in battle, all emotions are locked off, if a friend turns foe, he won't hesitate to strike them down, and mourn them afterwards.
Likes: Like's now this one is easy. Books, lots and lots of books, best way to Zilo's heart, buy him a book or two. Also staffs, the man loves to play with a new staff. It gives him a sense of being useful, instead of killing enemies with his dark magic. Another Like is Spicy food, if you can cook up anything spicy, and it taste good. Then you'll have a loyal little puppy dog to follow you around forever. Because for him, if you can make something he enjoys, it's time he stuck around for a bit.
Dislikes: Sweet food, he absolutely hates anything that is even remotely sweet. Those that are said to have a sweet tooth, well he's the exact opposite. Mostly because when he was a child, he got sick by eating to much sugar, and that has taught him a lesson he'll never forget. Another dislike for him, is arrows... Archers seem to be his worst nightmare, so much so, one could see him turn like a ghost, becoming almost transparent when an enemy archer is seen on the field.
Greatest Strength: Zilo's greatest strength, is being able to lock out all of his emotions on the battlefield. This allows him to take down recently turned allies, as if he had never known them. He won't even bat an eyelash should one of his friends turn on him, and he's forced to take their life away.
Worst Flaw: Zilo isn't able to make friends easily, this makes it so that when he has a chance to make friends, he generally ends up wasting the opportunity, this cuts away at his social skills, and the further one goes down a dark road without someone to talk to, the further away their emotions get. Eventually he'll be a walking husk, that just cites spells from a book.
Hobbies: Zilo has one real hobby, and that's studying the ancient writing one could find in old books. It may seem odd, but it allows the boy to find peace in his life. Simply as it's an escape trying to decipher what a piece of text says. Or possibly a way in which could make something better. Through this hobby is how he was able to learn how to use a staff properly, by finding and old book on them, and how to channel his energy through them.
Goals: Zilo's main goal, is to be able to get past his fear of talking. And that maybe one day, he wouldn't have to be the distant dark mage he is. Though, with all the training he's been through, he knows that this is going to be a difficult task. Especially with his master still around, trying to correct his every movement, and teaching him how to become the perfect Dark Mage.
Quirks: Well, Zilo's quirk is how he collects books. Every time you see the young man, he'll probably have his head buried in a new book, or an older one that he's had before. He'll choose to read over interacting with anyone around him.
History//
Zilo never knew his true family. When he was born, he had been shipped out to his tutor and master, Seriph. They family wanted to create the perfect mage for to carry on their legacy, but little did they know, that Seriph was a dark mage instead of the more respected, scholars. His daily life wasn't so bad before he was four, as it was just like any other childs. Playing, having fun, looking around and discovering new things. It wasn't until he turned five, did that all change, as his affinity towards magic began to flow throughout his body. That's when the young childs training began. His very life style changed as if flipping the coin. He was forced to study the ancient text of dark magic, learning what each one could do. Whenever he tried to do something that distracted him from his studies, he was punished severally, all of which had left scars on the kids body. But also, built his body up, to make him resistant, and stronger to physical pain.
And it was a good thing he went through the punishments, because accepting dark magic within your body, places you in so much pain that it wasn't funny. It was known to be able to break a man, or woman if they didn't build up an immunity to pain before hand. Day's turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, while months turned to years. His studies had taken over his life, he was deprived of communications, his emotions where cut off through his training. His tutor strict and watching the young man. Making sure, that he became the perfect dark mage. Someone full of power, but with no emotion within them. Though, the last part would never come true. Zilo held onto his emotions, though sealed away so that his tutor could never see them. When he was alone, he took up reading other books. During his time of studies, he found a book about staves, learning that he could also channel his magic, into healing others, by focus it into the staff. It was a simple procedure really, not much different from enacting the ancient tomes he read from. All it took was for him to care for that person, and he was able to heal them.
When he was studying with his master, Zilo practiced using staves that had been kept around the house. Able to generate a small light, or making a few sparkles in front of him. He couldn't do something to fancy, as being on an island, you could see a light going in a house for miles and miles away. Zilo didn't want to risk his tutor finding out. By the time Zilo had turned 17, he had been through several years of torture, and study. He had learned to completely mask his emotions, not even pain would appear upon his face. His eyes looked nearly lifeless now. It wasn't till then, that his tutor said he had been done with Zilo. That he had created the perfect mage. But the thing was, Zilo couldn't return to his family, as he had no clue who they where... The only one he had known his entire life was his teacher. But that didn't effect either of them, as Zilo was removed from the house he had been staying in for the time being. Being as young as he was, it was a wonder he hadn't died off at the age of seventeen. Instead he sold his service of dark magic, to those willing to pay for his services. Regardless of what it was.
Zilo did this for two years, he was growing accustomed to traveling foreign lands and killing people now. Not something you wanted to do at a young age. But during his travels, he had found a way to pick up some more books. Thusly increasing his knowledge beyond what one could consider normal for a boy of his age. But now, his real story starts here, what will he find in a world that he had been locked away from? The ancient books spoke of mysterious creatures that once inhabited the lands, would it be possible for him to find them? This was a desire the boy held onto personally. To find these things called dragons... So let's see where his story takes him now...
