Zosime Versephon

Personality

 inexpressive  👽  subdued  👽  curious  👽  impatient  👽  crafty

     Zosime is relaxed, laid-back, and hard to get a reaction out of. They approach everything with subdued interest and respond with dull apathy, hands in pockets and eyes averted. They don't talk much, and even when asked to speak they might stay quiet. When they do speak, it's laconically and in monotone. If something doesn't interest them, they don't pay any attention whatsoever to it. When something does interest them, they either become fully absorbed in it or switch between focusing on it and focusing on a few other tasks. If something doesn't fully grab them, then they work best when they're allowed to multitask. When forced into only doing one task for a long period of time they become distressed and frustrated, prompting them to withdraw and refuse to do anything until the stress fades.

     Zosime likes tinkering with various things, and spends the majority of their time doing so. Otherwise, they're usually ambling about... searching for stuff to tinker with. They're pretty impatient, so they might leave somewhere without warning to go do something else. They'll wander right into dangerous areas without care, and their nonchalance helps them stay calm and get back out completely unscathed. They often have a hard time understanding when they're in trouble or when something they're doing is considered objectionable. When scolded for wrongdoing they either withdraw after apologizing or silently glare, depending on the attitude of whoever is scolding them.

Backstory

 "..."

     Zosime's backstory is nothing notable. They didn't have very many friends nor did they do much outside of classes, but they did very well in school and their skills with machinery - aided by their telekinetic abilities - were promising. However, they weren't satisfied and didn't care much for their bright future. They could put in the work, but it didn't feel worth it. They could succeed easily, but... it wasn't important to them. No matter what, they couldn't get themself to care about what others wanted or expected for them. It was all too easy and all too boring, and each day brought promises of being trapped on a path they'd be stuck with forever.

     What Zosime wanted was ephemerality, diversity, and complete freedom. They wanted to be able to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, and for however long they wanted. There were plenty of ways to attain this, and the method Zosime used was...

     ...Stowing a way on a ship to the incredibly dangerous prison planet, Celestella.

     Despite being a relatively defenseless human teenager, Zosime found it easy to survive. It's not like theft or squatting were really illegal or anything, and they found they had a knack for sneaking around and getting out of dangerous situations. It helped that Zosime's young age and implacably apathetic personality amused the planet's seedy characters, prompting them to leave them be or even help them out, sometimes in exchange for assistance with something their telekinesis and small-scale detail work could solve.

     One day Zosime came upon some sort of broken robot and wasted no time in fixing it. It woke up and revealed itself to be an artificial entity named Hellscream, who sought to wreak havoc and consume the souls of everyone around him. Like with most things, Zosime responded with nonchalance and started to leave and go about their day. Hellscream, simultaneously offended and entertained by their lack of fear, stopped them and insisted they tag along with him on his chaotic misadventures and serve as his personal mechanic. Zosime, not having anything better to do and figuring that sounded like it could be fun, agreed and has been traveling with Hellscream ever since.

Powers/Abilities

 AVERAGE: 5.8/10

     Zosime has telekinesis, allowing them to move objects without touching them. The larger and/or heavier the object, the harder it is for them to move it. They excel at moving small things, and they've utilized this ability to work with machinery. They're very skilled at moving tiny things in complicated ways, but their power requires a high amount of focus and as such it's easy to disrupt them. When using their powers their eyes glow, so it's easy to tell when you should leave them alone to work!
