| The Basics | |
| Name | Zakai |
| Age | I am assuming that the fey age differently than us humans. Zakai looks to be anywhere from his late teens to early twenties but it should be understood that he has been around a great deal longer than that. A great, great deal. Perhaps he could even be considered an ancient spirit, though he by no means acts old and wise. |
| Gender | Male. Considering I’ve already said “he” and “his” numerous times it would be a little late to change genders. |
| Race / Ethnicity | Fey (Crow Spirit) |
| Sexuality | I’m going to go ahead and use the newfangled term “saipiosexual” to describe Zakai. He is attracted to all manner of creatures whether they are human or monster, male or female, as long as they possess qualities he finds quirky and/or endearing. Or shiny. |
| Appearance | |
| Under the guise of his human “glamour,” Zakai appears to be your run of the mill, frail, wispy, effeminate Goth boy. High cheekbones, pale skin, angular features, a crinkly smile and a head of wildly teased blue-black hair that looks it could house a family of bats (It has by the way.) He also has a pointed, but not particularly large or unattractive nose that he still sometimes tries to conceal behind a black scarf for “cosmetic reasons”. He generally clothes his small, five foot seven frame in black, head to toe. In his “natural” form Zakai appears to be a common raven (which in case you were unaware, is part of the crow family) with iridescent blue-black wings. | |
| Personality | |
| Zakai is considered a trickster, much like the ravens and crows portrayed in Native American legend. He is mischievous, childish, impulsive, a bit loopy, never in a hurry and certainly never quiet for very long. The question “What’s this thing do?” will without doubt pass his lips every five to ten seconds. Even his human glamour cannot hide Zakai’s deep curiosity regarding all things new, especially if they are bright and shiny. You might want to hide any or all of your valuables when he’s around considering he never quite got the concept of ownership down (He’s working on it.) Zakai also has a bad habit of breaking and entering but not with the intention to steal; it’s just that his inquisitiveness often gets the better of him. Zakai lives in a constant state of good humor and you’ll be hard pressed to wipe the smile off his face. | |
| Abilities / Weaponry | |
| Besides the ability to appear human, Zakai possesses two other abilities. He can move like a ghost, quietly and invisibly like a spirit, for relatively short amounts of time. For example, he could appear in your living room and then reappear across the street in the neighbor’s front lawn. He can’t remain invisible for periods much longer than that, though he is always difficult to spot due to his dark clothing and quiet movements (His inability to stop giggling is what most often gives him away). He generally uses this ability to play pranks or make sexual advances on unsuspecting individuals, such as swapping people’s plates at a restaurant when they’re not looking or goosing the occasional unwary pretty boy or girl. It would never occur to him to use this power for evil or material gain, not because he is a good spirit but because he simply doesn’t think that way. He uses his powers for neither good nor evil; he uses them for fun. His second ability is a less a skill than an effect he tends to have on others regardless of their race. Passing Zakai on the street is like being hit by a drive-by children’s birthday party at a roller rink. Suddenly you are filled with nostalgia, have a cloying soundtrack of gleeful 70s tunes and bad rap repeating in your brain and are plagued with a pounding headache. Many people report being beset with fond memories of first crushes, summer vacation, drive-in movies and Easy Bake Ovens. Whether or not this is a positive experience all depends on what the person takes from it. Either way, it is bound to change the way they view their life in the present day. Zakai is entirely unarmed with the exception of his secret weapon which he always carries in his back pants pocket; a recording of himself reading medieval Welsh erotic poetry; one side in English and one side in Italian. (Admittedly the side in Italian, due to Zakai's limited grasp on the language is not so much poetry as it is various swear words and inappropriate exclaimations) His secret weapon is not very secret nor so much a weapon but it is very effective when used properly. For example: A car for of dainty little old ladies or serious looking business men come to a stop. Using his previously mentioned ghost-like agility, Zakai enters their vehicle and replaces their cassette with his own creation. He then exits the car, as quickly and quietly as if he never came. The very thought of the looks on their faces is enough to put a bounce in his step all day. |

| Weaknesses | |
| Other than the mentioned cold iron, none to speak of, with the exception of his incessant giggling and overly curious nature. | |
| Organization/Pack/Clan/Guild? | |
| None. | |
| History | |
| One of the oldest spirits to inhabit the earth, he still chooses to walk among the living (and occasionally the living dead) in hopes of having the kind of pleasurable eternity mere humans couldn’t dream of. He has lived in the same nomadic fashion all his life, wandering from place to place to see what there is to touch, to feel, to play with. Although he has enjoyed life as a trickster god, he sometimes wonders what life would be like if he bore a weightier title brimming with darkly romantic connotations. Perhaps he will look for a forlorn lover to torment over the loss of their Lenore. However, in the meantime where better to experience pleasure than Italy? Considering the riotous, hedonistic society that was ancient Rome he was hoping things hadn’t changed too drastically since his last visit four hundred years ago. Unfortunately for him this means he doesn’t speak modern Italian. Seeing as he has spent most of his existence on the North American continent, he is counting on his fluency in English to help him get by. Typical American. | |
