Name: Zehl Kano

Rank: Novice
Group: Alchemist

Face Claim: Orihara Izaya - Durarara

Height: 5ft9
Weight: 87kg
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
General Appearance: After the death of his family (current) Zehl wears fitting Amestrian clothing (as an act of severing the ties of his birthplace Xing) with each piece of clothing circling around the shade of black. His garments kick off with a black love sleeve shirt, which on occasions will be hidden by his black overcoat. His bottoms consist of black/navy blue jeans and his shoes black leather.

Before the death of his family, Zehl wore the traditional attire of the Xingese pilgrim's that rear around the south west border of Xing. This includes, the white under shirt stitched diagonally, a black short sleeve shirt worn atop the white sleeveless shirt. What completes his torso attire is his vest worn loosely where the bottom half is black, and the top half is a light brown, the vest itself has tiny sleeve's which had small brown tassel's which is an essential factor of the Xingese traditional clothing. For his bottom half, Zehl wears black/dark navy pant's cut at three quarter length for easy moving and mobility, which is held by the waist by a thin sash used as a belt tied across his waist. For his feet, Zehl wears sock's and the oriental sandals. For his forearms and hands he wears a black 'cloth' like sheet. The last piece of clothing is his hat, which is the traditional Xingese hat.

Weighing at eighty-seven kilograms and reaching five feet, nine inches. Zehl look's like your average Xingese civilian. But there are some key characteristic that differ him from the rest. Zehl has red eye's, most likely due to his late grandfather being an Ishvalin. His hair is black, and long, mostly seen tied up by that back of his head otherwise it can cover his view. A scar run's across his right eye, which was given to him through battle scars, the scar itself passes through his eyebrow leaving a gap in the small arch of hair. His skin is a light beige and his back wear's scars, which will stay with him till the day his lung's give way.

Personality: Sophisticated and humble, intelligent and lazy, a lot of words could describe Zehl, he's an overachiever in alchemy who was born with a natural knack for combat and alchemy. He's a true believer in world peace but believes that peace will only come to a world that is reborn. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Zehl believes he must destroy the world before it is rebuilt. Those who've met Zehl would tell you he's not into speaking. Keeping to himself, yet act's in time of need, Zehl's mind and personality is filled with contradictions. You could say his past has led him stray into a world where he only seeks vengeance. With a blade firmly gripped in his right hand he plan's to reap the very soul's that stole everything from him.

Driven and focused, Zehl never venture's away from his target, always having his eye's on the prize, he intends on seeing every goal through, pass or fail. The crimson eyed revolutionary seems to show no emotion, yet behind the curtain lies a cesspool filled with deep, raw, emotion's that fuel his ambition's and goals. When Zehl DOES speak (which will rarely happen) he tends to speak low to them, using word's like peasant, or child. He understands he can't turn back now. What the future awaits we'll just have to see. Zehl has chosen the path of the vengeance, which allows him to completely disregard all emotions in respect to peace and humility.

Likes:

• Sake - His life is a pain in the ass. Looking back to the past, everyone who he has loved has died. But Sake never left him, drinking down his worries, Zehl is a full time drinker. Always trying to drink his problems away.
• Sunset - Who doesn't love a sunset? Zehl love's a peaceful sunset, staring into the distance watching as the sun goes down, as it display's the array of warm colors. His fondest memory was one he shared with his son, the last time he saw the boy.
• Lazing - Lounging on lawn or sitting peacefully on a tree branch watch the sky as the time flies by, Zehl loves lazing around. It was something he had been known for and truly one of the reason's his Xingese bride chose to marry Zehl in the first place.
• Women - Being of the opposite sex, Zehl loves staring at women, yet he never makes a move (perverted).
• Canine's - Zehl has a natural love for dogs due to his past pet being a canine companion.

Dislikes:

• Sunrise - Zehl is NOT a morning person, waking up is a drag for the crimson eyed Xing which usually take's an hour or two. The break of dawn tends to piss him off to no end.
• Smart Asses - "People who get lippy, oughta be cut up." His quote speaks for itself, he hates backchat or people who overestimate his patience.
• Elderly - Zehl hate's old people, a number of reason's may point to why he does hate them. One could be how he always dream of how he would grow old with his wife, or how they have to be looked after all the time.
• Alchemists - As much as Zehl love's using alchemy, he find's other users of alchemy to be outright annoying. From stupid assumptions to bellowing attitudes, Zehl hates most/ALL alchemists.
• Rain - Even the mere fact of 'being wet' makes Zehl cringe. He hates the downpour of rain due to the disadvantages those take when being treated with bad weather.

Motivations:

• His past - The event's that took his wife and son away form him forever has created the persona Zehl has today, due to the killing of his family Zehl is fueled by rage and anger that motivate him to kill every single person that was involved with the murder. He believes redemption is his only path, if the whole world was in on it, Zehl would aim to end the world. The reason he breathes is for ending the lives that took his family.
• His Wife - Zehl believes he can only step forward if he cleans up his past. What fuels him is the knowledge of how is wife would want him to live like.

Fears:

• Failure - Zehl fear's the moment his quest for revenge will cease, as it is the only goal he lives for. Without the quest for redemption, he feels he has no right to live. Already with the burden of failing to protect his wife and son, Zehl also fear's he can't protect anyone.
• The Culprits - One fear of Zehl's is the thought of the death of his family leading back to Xing and it being an inside job. How far the string's of death travel and to whom makes Zehls world one filled with fear. Is there an option for life or death when he personally knows and cares for a culprit. No.

History: The tale of Zehl start's from his grandfather. He was an Amestrian male, who was well traversed in the greatest science of the world, ALCHEMY! An ancient knowledge that constantly changes the world, knowing the very study creates power for those who learn the ancient studies. The man would live as a scientist, decoding and creating new way to utilize alchemy's full potential. The man would marry an Ishvalen woman where she would conceive a girl (Zehl's future mother). In no time the girl would age, and be enthralled by her fathers study of alchemy she would take it up herself. Learning all her father's teaching, the woman would become infatuated with becoming a state alchemist, therefore joined the military. Year's would pass and she would be no closer to her goal from the beginning. She didn't know if it were her Ishvalen bloodline or her individual skills. With pent up rage she left Amestria and her family where she would look for a new beginning. The woman would find herself at the oriental country of Xing, a country that was run via a sole king and it's many prince and princess's. Here the woman would live in a small town on the south-east borders of the country. Here she met a Xingese man who she would marry and conceive, bringing Zehl into this world.

Upbringing
Zehl was brought up as both an alchemist and a martial arts fighter. His skill's of alchemy would grow, nearing toward the proficient use of distortion and disruption through the use of 'magnetic alchemy.' It was a particular skill set his mother was in, which allowed him to grow in power. His father would teach him the martial art 'muay-thai,' a fighting style based on proficient use of strikes and clinches/grapples. At the age of 10, Zehl was a young prodigy, advanced in both skill sets, he'd become a human weapon, where his parent's would send him to become a warrior of Xing. The Xingese army would not take Zehl lightly, as his body and mind was at a high level than a mere recruit. He was immediately placed in a new task force, for defending a noble, the princess of 'Guay.'

Protecting the Peace
Zehl's life as 'a member of a task force' was short lived, but for a good reason. A peculiar event would occur in Guay, as it was the Princess's birthday. She would hold a party which required the task force's protection. It was here where Zehl and the princess would cross paths, and meet for the first time. Like every romantic tale, these two were no different, they shared a gaze that could last a lifetime. They felt an instant urge to speak to each other, they bodies were pulled together by an unknown force. Her name was "May" and the two would become inseparable, May was instantly infatuated by Zehl, both being the same age yet they both shared different teachings. For Zehl learnt alchemy and muay thai, and May learnt Alkehestery, and how to live as a noble. It was here and then when May told Zehl of the goal, to find the ticket to immortality. Zehl promised he'd find immortality and bring it to her, as a display of his great love. A year would pass and they would begin to teach one another, trading secrets between alchemy and alkehestery. Another year would pass and their was still no sign of any news regarding immortality. It was there and then where Zehl would leave Xing in search for Immortality.

The Tragedy
Zehl would return after a year with no leads of how to attain immortal life. They decided to take a break, where they would take more time to enjoy life. They would marry at the age of 19, and May would conceive, bring a baby boy into the world name Koda. Their life would become happy, their lifes were thought of as perfect, but as the boy turned 4, Zehl and May would decide to get back to business. Zehl would allow May to look after the future prince, where he would venture out for a second attempt to attain everlasting life. His travels would take him to Amerstria, and even north to Drachma, where he would be gone for a year, unknowing of the events that would take place while he was gone. On a snowy eye in the Guay mountains, silhouettes would vanish and reappear from thin air, making their way inside the Guay noble mansion. It was here where the icey, white snow would turn red. Screams would echo across the village, as May and her son were killed, and no one else.

Revenge
A year would pass and with no word from his family, Zehl would return to Guay, only to hear news of his beloved family assassinated. His life was immediately shattered, ans swore vengeance of those who robbed his family's life. Sniffing a trail of death, Zehl would find the trail to the murderers leading to Amestria. It is here where he starts his journey, not only to find immortality (his promise to May) but to find the killers.

RP Sample: A cold breeze would sweep the air, as snow flakes would protrude the icy air elegantly, making their way to kiss the icy snow beneath them. It was a silent night, with not a star in the sky, yet the white snow would have a trail of blood leading to the end of a cliff, sheltered by a cherry blossom tree. It's pink leaves would slowly drift through the wind, gracefully falling down the daunting cliff. A man would crawl through the icy snow, his body shivering as scarlet blood would paint a trail. A man would stand over him, his nodoichi placed in his left hand, as his crimson gaze glared down at the man beneath him, blood would trickle to the tip of his blade. "Tch, I'm gonna ask you one more time." His right arm would raise the sword above him, the moonlight would reflect against the sword, allowing its radiant shine to blind his foe beneath him. "Who killed my family." His tone was stern as his questions were straight to the point. Tears would run down the face of the man on the ground, his life would flash before him as spoke out loud. "Fine, his name is Tristan Inala, he's an Amestrian alchemist." A silence would follow soon after the man's words before Zehl would reply. "Oh? Well thank you for your time." His sword already placed above his head would be wavered down in arc-like fashion, allowing the blade to slide across the mans throat, decapitating the mans body, sending a severed head tumbling down the cliff. His crimson gaze would stare at the sakura tree as he hand reached for a petal. "Soon my love, soon i will have killed them all." A tear would form from his crimson eyes as his body moved back across the icy terrain.

Bump! Up for approval.

[Webmaster Marcus]

Zehl, I have to put the application on hold for a while. We're currently discussing a system and it would seem that swordsmanship would be something for the military and certain Ishvalans, otherwise the classes won't be balanced.

[Zehl Kano]

No worries. That seems fair, but I'll wait till it's official till i change everything just in case it is allowed. Take your time, no rush ^_^.

[Zehl Kano]

bump!

Took his swordsmanship skills out, and replaced it with martial arts.

Changes made, major change being 'magnetic alchemy'

[Mavroh Lowe]

Ok, this is approvable, though I don't know about magnetic alchemy. You'll have to make to make it work in the frame of physics and chemistry. I hope you'll find a logical way to do this ^^

APPROVED!
