RELAXED • SELF-SUFFICIENT • SECRETIVE

Zaphorone is a cool-headed, laid-back, and confident man. Despite his occupation, he seems to behave amicably to those he works with and rarely ever finds the need to intimidate others to do his bidding (if his reputation wasn't already enough). Though, he is not afraid to use intimidation or threats if necessary. His calmness extends to even the most heated of battles, where Zaphorone could continue exchanging devastating blows acting entirely unbothered with either a focused look or smug smirk on his face. Zaphorone is highly strategic and takes calculated risks, though sometimes his overestimation of himself could cause errors.

His fighting style is quick and ruthless—leaving the opponent no time to counter. Despite this, Zaphorone is not sadistic and doesn't actively try to prolong his target's pain any more than he needs to if the situation allows it. Oftentimes, he does not kill for his own benefit and its mainly something he does for work only, unless if the situation doesn't allow him to take any other action. Zaphorone doesn't question his employer's motives as long as the money is right. However, he absolutely refuses to partake in anything involving kids. Even willing to cross his employer just to keep any child safe.

Zaphorone is, in a way, noncommital. He avoids long-term relationships whether it be platonic or romantic. When he feels that he is getting too close to someone, he pulls back immediately and may even disappear. If he stays in a domestic and peaceful area for too long, he grows incredibly uncomfortable and sick as a result of past events. Though he acts friendly to everyone he meets, he always makes sure to keep them at arms length and to not let any tidbits of his life leak. He never tells about his past, aside from any old job he's taken upon.

Yet in the midst of this assassin, blade honed like its his third arm and spirit hardened through his assignments, there are some curious peeks into his true, genuine nature. The one that he has buried and left behind for years. But no matter how much it continues to dig its way up, Zaphorone has no intention of returning it from the grave.

VOICE: Zaphorone speaks in a relaxed and casual manner with a bit of an accent. He lets his words come off loose with a drawl, and hardly ever sounds strict or firm. He speaks simply and doesn't bother using flowery words nor does he try to make himself seem charming.

HANDWRITING: Zaphorone can write using both hands, but prefers using his left over his right. His penmanship is rather simple, but a little stylized, using uppercase letters as lowercase letters instead. It seeems bold, in a way.

Zaphorone is a tall, muscular man appearing in his mid-late 30s with deep red-brown hair to his neck. His shoulders are broad and he has a large back becoming more narrow as it continues down to his waist. He has thick eyebrows and baggy but relaxed orange-yellow eyes, but due to the blindness on his left eye, its become a hazy gray. His nose is broad but a tad visibly broken. Scars run across practically his entire body, although the most notable ones are the ones on his right cheek, left eye, and the one across his neck. He has gray-black horns atop his head, but one half of the right horn has been cleaved off.

Most of his attires are kept simple. Zaphorone wears a tight-fitting short sleeve black shirt (note: its xxl), dark denim cargo jeans with a few rips, along with a belt. His shoes are colored black with lines of gray on the top, sides, and sole. He uses this same attire for fighting. He also uses piercings on both ears.

When he goes on an outing or generally has to leave for a while, he wears a long-sleeve gray military shirt with black gloves and gray pants with a leg pouch strapped on. His shoes are changed into black combat boots. Though, his clothes are usually obscured by the large, tattered cloak he wears. He can also use this cloak over his normal clothes.

DESIGN NOTES:

• Scars cover his body from head to toe. He used to actively cover them up, but now its mostly visible. Important ones are the ones on his neck, right cheek, and left eye. The design of the scars on his arms isn’t important but he has a lot there.
• Dorito build (lol).
• Piercings on both ears.
• Has a distaste for stuffy suits or anything overly formal. Chooses to go for comfort above everything else when possible.
• Pockets and leg pouches. Stores knives and daggers there.
• Veiny arms and hands but its less prominent because of his scars.
