Zay's Bios

I'll use you as a warning sign



Name: X'zayvean Oroze
Nickname(s): Zay
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Relationship Status: Taken

Race/Species: Northsmen Ice Elementalist
Class/Rank: Rogue
Appearance: The Northsmen in X'zayvean is definitely evident in his features-- his stern and solid expressions, unchanging, his iceberg eyes. However, there is a set of other traits that are evident. Instead of the pale hair and pale skin, he holds darker hair and slightly darker skin, with a longer and more rounded face than that of his fellow Northsmen, who hold broad squared jawlines and heavy brows. But his heritage can't be missed. He generally wears all black (despite his dislike for the heat), and is hardly seen without his bow.
Personality: Cold and isolated, Zay isn't much of a sociable person. He keeps distance between himself and others, and remains more stubborn than an old dragon. Nothing slips past him and his keen eye, so he catches much more than what others think he does. Though generally quiet, his temper can become an unpredictable storm. He could remain silent, an eerie sense of tension and judgement, or he could explode, a roaring blizzard on the mountaintop. Zay isn't the best with his emotions, but underneath his facade of disdain, hate and anger lies a boy who only fears the world and what it could do, having seen the worst firsthand.

History: Alphonse and his siblings, Abiel and Ariella, were all once royalty in the north. But when the legion raided the kingdom, it drove them and the rest of the family out. The siblings fled south to a village before Norcrest with their children, who were too young at the time to be able to remember. Because Zaire was often away, Ariella raised Zay (Skyrien was already old enough to fend on her own), which is why Zay remembers her more than his real mother. No one ever told him about his real mother per her request. Abiel continued south to Norcrest with his son, Caspian, and took on the guise of commoner blacksmiths. Alphonse disappeared a few years later, as did Zay's mother, leaving his aunt and his sister let. Shortly later the legion's fires consumed the village and scarred X'zayvean, and he too fled to Norcrest. where Forest found him and nursed him back to health. After he was one his feet, Zay went to the blacksmith hellbent on revenge and in need of a weapon. However, he didn't know his uncle or cousin well, and didn't realize they were related.

From a young age, Zay was trained by his father to become an assassin against the legion. It was also why he asked for a knife and not a sword from his uncle. Shortly after he left Norcrest, Alphonse and Rheraven came in search for him, coming across Abiel and Caspian. Abiel refused to tell them where Zay had gone, and in turn died protecting both Zay and Caspian.

Shortly after surviving, Zay did grow dark and nearly became a legion. When his father took him over the wall when he was younger, the treks marked him with a darkness that couldn't be removed, making him more susceptible to falling in the future. He was brought back the very first time by his mother, and the second time by a priest. At 16, he met Aru's mother, Una, and the two fell in love, though being a rogue and mistrusting, shortly after they had slept together, he left the picture. Seven years later he stumbled across her again, though this time he had become a legion. Una brought him back, but he had no recollection of who she was, the memory eaten away by darkness. When the village was burnt by bandits, Zay found Aru and took him in, not knowing that he was really his son.
