[i]Khayal[/i]: a relatively heavy double ended glaive with the capability of transforming into high caliber sniper rifle able to penetrate most armor. She made it herself her first year and since coming to the Academy, she has modified it time and time again. In her five years, she has cut its weight in half and increased its power by about a third. It's also able to transform between glaive and rifle within three seconds.

[b]Biography[/b]
Zar was born, but barely raised in Pakistan, as she immersed her self in education in other countries after primary school thanks to her wealthy family. Maybe it was because she was born around the time the Black Gale appeared, but she had always been intensely interested in becoming a Gatekeeper. And from preschool and on, she was always attending an elite academy. Maybe it's because she's an only child or maybe she's just a really driven person, but she was always outstanding in her classes. 

With the Black Gale and Lucis such a modern, exciting issue through her youth, her interest in it only grew. So, at fifteen, when she received the invitation to join the Academy, she jumped on it. And when she first arrived, the skill gap between other students...didn't scare the girl. Instead, she was inspired to work even harder so she could stand on equal footing with other students. This lead to her time at the Academy being spent on combat and tactics and on her time on Earth furthering her knowledge about technology. 

Now, she's a fifth a year, ready to contribute all that she has built upon until now to the fight for peace. 

[b]Personality[/b]
Despite her resting bitch face and intimidating, boarderline-goth appearance, Zar is quite friendly upon first interaction. However, she's outspoken and will let you know when she agrees or disagrees with you. She has a sense of humor--assuming she isn't the subject--and can be surprisingly charismatic when she's passionate about something. Zar is independent but loyal and makes an effort to work with others for the greater good.

[b]Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)[/b]
Well unlike all these freaks, she's just a human. Her melee skills are good, but probably her weakest point as she prefers to keep her distance in a battle. (AKA other 5th years are more than likely better at it.) And although she makes an effort, she still has trouble working others. Has trouble trusting others due to a fear of potential rejection or betrayal.
  
[b]Skills/Abilities/Traits[/b]
She's particularly strong for a human woman, as she needs to be to wield her weapon at close range. She's surprisingly quick and agile, as well. There's nothing superhuman about her, however. Zar likes to keep her distance, where she can observe and plan. She doesn't have luxury of being able to run in blind, fists swinging. So, she's very methodical and cautious. Even in melee, her pole arm allows her to keep her distance as opposed to getting too close to the enemy.
