Profile
Zeki comes from a long line of mercenaries with a thirst for adventure. Many had a role in the changing of histories; some of them going so far as to contact Zariel for a way to become stronger and more powerful. Curses, blessings, dealings with devils. The list goes on.
They're prone to ignore people not worth the time, but show a small piece of gold and you'll have her full attention. Zeki would never admit it but despite being the greediest person in the room she would give anything to ensure the safety of those close to her. There's not much in the world that will make her anxious and the slightest inconvience could easily get anyone beat to a pulp. Zeki isn't exactly the best role model for others, but she does take her job seriously having grown up with her foster father for so long.

Trivia
- Because of her foster father's trickery, Zeki has since become immune to his tricks.
- Zeki is the kind of person to hold a grudge for a long time but with enough work she is always willing to forgive.
- Extremely stingy with gold, Zeki is quick to drop bags of it in order to buy what her loved ones want. Clothes, magic items, and even straight up buildings and houses.
- Zeki considers herself lucky to have been raised by someone instead of needing to fend for herself on the streets. She works now to take in kids that are looking for a second chance.
- She never got paid for her first quest.
- She used to cut her own hair for years, which resulted in a total disaster on her head. It wouldn't be until her then girlfriend would start to decorate it. Zeki now grows her hair to a manageable length for her wife to mess with.
- Zeki's hands are litered with scars from when she would play the knife game constantly as a kid as a bet against locals. She wasn't always the best obviously. Even now she's still clumsy when handling small blades and occasionally cuts up her hands on accident.

Trait | Hellish Lineage
Zeki isn't only the offspring of a long-ago deal made with Zariel but also the product of a family that constantly used sacrifices to make themselves stronger. She naturally holds the ability to see in the dark and can withstand much higher temperatures than the normal person. With this she was able to take on two large fire elementals like they were nothing.
Skill | Beastial Rage
With such a polluted bloodline, Zeki didn't even get the choice of her style of fighting. As a naturally hot-headed person, Zeki is quick to anger causing the more devilish aspects of her appearance to grow. Parts of her body grow larger and sharper and primal markings appear over her body, changing the skin on her limbs to much more of a blood-red hue. With more of a beastial appearance, it's bound for Zeki to learn how to use her claw, tail and even dangerous bite to fight others. It was something she worked to take control of a young age as she wasn't allowed to hold weapons until she was older. It would make sense as to how and why Zeki is much more proficient with climbing, jumping, and even swimming. Although growing up by the ocean can also atrribute to the fact that Zeki has the ability to breathe underwater.
Skill | Beastial Infection
As she learned to take more control of her beastial aspect, Zeki figured out a way to curse others with a rabid fury. Getting hit at all by her natural weapons, Zeki could force someone to go through an moment of blind rage themselves that would result in psychic damage or them injuring someone around. Not only does this spread to those she hits, but those that Zeki can rally when she rages can also benefit from her ferosity as well. Every ally she brings into her frenzy increases her health temporarily and gifts others with more powerful attacks.
Feat | Durable
Being the punching bag for enemies in order to protect her friends, Zeki eventually gained the ability to recover much more efficiently than others. Not to mention the larger heatlth pool she also gained from working hard.
Background
Despite coming from an extensive ancestry, Zeki doesn’t know her father and only has an idea of what her tiefling mother might have looked like; along with a name. Odyssey. She had left Zeki behind with a family friend that owned a tavern, so she could continue adventuring in hopes of achieving fame and glory. Housed at The Drunken Jester, Zeki grew up in a boisterous and cheerful environment with her guardian Killian, a crafty human man, where she would watch as mercenaries came in looking for jobs and would leave either happy or kicked out for causing a ruckus. Tieflings weren't uncommon in the tavern either, but Zeki still became popular for her strange appearance yet welcoming attitude. Most patrons would amuse her with stories of adventures and show off the treasures they collected.
As her fame grew among tavern regulars, so did her fighting skills as adventurers would give her advice and sparring lessons in exchange for a couple of free drinks. But not everyone was glad to see a tiefling among them. Constantly, Killian would be harassed and the tavern vandalized for housing Zeki. This didn’t discourage her as she became more invested in the lives of the people that passed through.
Eventually she was gifted an axe by Killian for her 17th birthday, using money that he finessed from a dwarf in a card game. With it, Zeki finally got permission to take on a couple tasks and finally explore the surrounding area. Ofcourse this was just another way for Killian to get some money, but he knew Zeki had a thirst for adventure.

Post Timeskip
After a year of supposedly having saved the Sword Coast, Zeki was invited suddenly to a play back in Silvery Moon in honor of her party's efforts. Ofcourse it was a lie and ambush by an agent that worked for the World Eater. Leaving Lulula safely at a bomb shelter that Elenya had built, the party get together again to finish what they hope is the last of the world ending disasters. They travel the mortal plane to destroy obelisks that were left behind and weaking the world-eating dragon. Zeki stumbles across her cousin, Brutus, and distant cousin, Eve, and discovers that everyone else apart of her bloodline have been wiped from existence. With no time to think about the news, the party travel across planes to chase down a sword that would take care of the World Eater.
Traveling to Mount Celeste the party travel up the layers to their destination. Along the way, they push back a demon horde lead by Zariel. There Zeki finds the same Devil she made a contract with so long ago. With a once-in-a-lifetime chance, she knocks out the devil and wipes out his forces with the help of her party. There she forces a contract with the devil to give back what it took 2 years ago in exchange for it's life. Continuing up the layers, the party encounter Zariel herself and knock her back to Avernus. Not to long after they just barely succeed in doing the same to Tiamat. Finally at the last layer, the party collect the sword they need to slash their way to the World Eater's true form. Face to face with the World Eater that took a mutated form combined with the vessel of Peace, the party slay him and save the universe.
Life Now
With things finally dying down, Zeki says her goodbyes to her friends and travels back home with her family. Before she could go out and look for Killian, she needed to take care of a few things. With her massive horde of gold, she buys a building for her wife to run the bakery she's been wanting as well as a home for themselves. She gifts money to her parents to help them with any future money issues as well as let them get a home themselves.
With things taken care of and ready to head out, Killian knocks upon the door to the bakery. Reunited and finally content with the life she's been trying to get back to, Zeki continues to do small adventuring tasks as well as run an unoffical orphanage to help kids like her. She reconnected with her cousins and even commissions Brutus who is running his own pottery shop. She finally got her ordinary life back but never did get the reward for the goblin quest she left to do years ago.
Amber
An old adventuring buddy that she used to favor. That was until Zeki caught her red-handed trying to steal money from her, knocking her down the list of favorites. When Zeki finally confronted her Grandmother and Aunt, it was Amber who sent them to their doom down the side of a cliff. Zeki tolerated her for the sake of Amber's sister, that was until the day Amber finally left without a word and cast Emera in a deep dispair.
Alkas
Zeki's favorite friend, they even had shared custody over a pet frog! Zeki relies on Alkas to get the job done. She will defend him with her life. It's up to Zeki to humble the satyr. Despite the consitent bickering, they have eachothers backs.
Azreal
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse sit amet massa blandit, fermentum enim a, scelerisque velit. Integer interdum urna ac dui sollicitudin sollicitudin. In feugiat posuere nulla, eget lobortis ante.
Dancer
A strange man that suddenly appeared and creeped Zeki out. His sarcasm ticks her off but she deals with it as the party invited him to fill an empty spot. Overtime she tolerated the tiefling as he became an important person to party. She hopes the guy is having the time of his life in hell.
Elenya
An adventuring friend that Zeki can easily rely on. She was a loud voice in the unfairness of Zeki's situation with her mother. She'll always have the elf's back. Whe she brielfy passed away, it made Zeki realize how precious their relationship is.
Emera
Emera was one of Zeki's most reliable and remarkable friends. Almost dying for the human, Zeki always had her back as Emera had hers. Overtime Emera became an anchor for the tiefling as she traversed her way through family problems. She'll always blame herself for not healing Emera, which lead to her eventual death and she will brew over what she could have done for the rest of her life.
John Eric
A fun and encouraging mentor to her party, John Eric quickly became a goal for Zeki to beat. After confronting her mother and finding out he is her real father, Zeki would come to respect him even more and hope to become stronger. When she finally bested him in a fight, Zeki would still acknowledge him as her better.
Killian
The only person willing to raise the tiefling, Zeki adores her father. Although he never showed much interest in her the way a parent normally would, she knows that Killian would put her before the world. When his life was put in danger, Zeki sacrified her most desired object in return for his safety. His love for her. He would wander the world for a couple years til Zeki forces a new contract to get back what was stolen from her. He nows works once again at his tavern with Zeki lending a hand occasionally.
Lavender
A bit annoyed at the charismatic nature of the dragonborn, Zeki took notice of her caring nature. It was Lavender who was able to make Zeki realize that she needed to get her act together.
Lulula
Although it started out as a joke, Zeki quickly took interest in the witch as she began to learn more of her. Fully encouraging Lulula's antics, she hopes to eventually teach the girl responsibilty. Maybe not yet. She would do anything for Lulula, going so far as to offering her soul for the girl's safetly.
Odyssey
Their relationship started off rocky as it was Odyssey who abandoned the tiefling. When Zeki finally confronted her, Odyssey would dismiss and act as if she never had a kid. It wouldn't be until when Zeki was forced to choose between her mother or her family that she would choose her in hopes to mend their relationship. Though Zeki might never fully develop a deep bond with her, she still treasures the woman. As a thank you for her apology, Zeki helped Odyssey get back to what she loved, singing and playing.
