[b]Zeki Glaedwine "Mr. Glaedwine"[/b] [hider] [b]Name:[/b] Zeki Glaedwine [b]Alias/Nickname:[/b] The Devil's Broker [b]Age:[/b] ?? [b]Race:[/b] Demon-Possessed human [b]Appearance: [/b] [img]http://safebooru.org//images/335/c0efe0f2c09832ba75da589ab16d2bcf1dbfc96d.png?334724[/img] [b]Social Status: [/b] Well known business-man in Loom [b]Relations:[/b] Allies/nuisance to Crow [b]General Activity: [/b]Zeki's a business-man always interested in making new deals, for money, and for the chance to syphon Essence off of anyone whose willing to make a deal. He'll go to great lengths to get whatever is wanted. His main goal seems to make as many deals with new customers as possible. [b]Equipment:[/b] Cell phone that never leaves him. He answers the phone religiously; he once answered it while a gang tried mugging him. Cane- Zeki always carries a cane, partly out of fashion, partly as a weapon.... mostly out of fashion. On the bottom of the cane is his insignia, his primary way of stamping in battle. Stamps- A small piece of paper with his insignia on it, he always carries a few in his inner suit pockets. [b]Abilities: [/b] [i]Contract Stamp -[/i] Zeki generally fights by inserting his own essense into others through the use of insignias that bond with the target's surface. Once that's done, Zeki can use it for a two different options. Generally he uses it to give a power boost to his allies, using his control to increase their magical potency, but when he himself has to fight, he uses it to drain the essence out of his opponent, the insignia starts taking over their essense, and sending it back to him. Whenever an opponent dies with a stamp on him, their essence is transferred back to Zeki. Removing it involves damaging the surface that it's on. Putting it on inanimate object doesn't drain essence, but lets him move the object, within reason. For example, he can't lift overly large objects. [i]Insignia Creation- [/i]Holding contact with an individual, Zeki can also create an insignia on them without his cane or stamps. He dislikes doing this, as he sees it as dangerous. [i]Insignia Shot-[/i] Aiming the bottom of his cane at an object, Zeki can fire a stamp that, upon hitting imbues itself on his target. [i]Motion thief-[/i] An area of about 20 feet that is located around Zeki passively slows down motion of other objects, inverse with how fast it is. Using this technique is very draining, and Zeki can't use it for long. For most people, they only notice a slight decrease of movement, taking a little more energy than normal to go as fast. For very fast combatants, it steals alot of their speed. [i]Very able with cane fighting- [/i]Using as little movement as possible, Zeki parries his opponents and attempts to break bones with his cane. He doesn't wildly swing, going instead for counters, and precise strikes. [i]Much experience-[/i] Zeki's seen alot of different things in his life, and that's given him insight on a broad amount of history. New technologies still surprise him, but things such as ancient fighting, and tactics, and things of that sort are boring to him. Ancient hand-to-hand doesn't go so well against him. He's more familiar with Hell than Progaia, and knows more about Progaia than the Angel's realm, which he sadly admits he knows little about. [i]Ubiquitous presence-[/i] Due to the amount of contracts he's made in Loom, as long as he is in Loom, his essence appears invisible. Insignia (easter egg)- [img]http://www.crossroadgames.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/150px-RTR_Orzhov.jpg[/img] [b]Personality:[/b]Zeki always is looking for something new. While he's often playing around, he often seems bored with events, and only joins in if he claims it caught his attention. He's constantly seeking out something new and innovative, and constantly griping about boredom. He hates having too much free time, as that leads to him getting bored as well, so he keeps himself very busy, never doing the same thing for too long. The only constants in his life are his deals. Zeki often shows up unexpected, and takes a particular liking to harrassing Crow, in the hope of Crow having acquired something new and interesting in his collection. As a businessman, Zeki is straight to the point, and doesn't let his customers wiggle. He knows what they need, and will do whatever it takes to convince them they need it. Any deal that ends with him signing a contract, Zeki often feels was a success. His fellow demons often heckle him about making bad contracts, often getting just enough essense from them to survive, and constantly getting weaker, but Zeki pays them as much mind as he does anything else that bored him. [b]Biography:[/b] A long time ago, before Judas's attack, a man was desperate for a cure. He was a businessman who had sought wealth his entire life, before contracting a disease that was destroying him. Doctors couldn't heal him, no amount of magical expertise would help either. He had no family, and was afraid of what awaited him, and of losing his vast wealth. He wanted a little more time to set his affairs in order, and have his wealth secure. In a desperate bid, he contacted a demon, wanting to make a contract with the demon. The demon saw a chance to escape from Hell, and agreed to extend the man's life another 10 years by giving his essense to the man, and afterwards, when the man was dead, his body would be used by the demon. The man agreed, and the demon merged with him. The demon did not expect life out of hell, having interacted with humans, but never having dwelt on the surface. He loved it, and wished all demons could. He slept within the man, and watched his trade, his business, and his life. He became enamored, and when teh contract was up, he kept the life he had watched, he became a businessman himself, using his supernatural powers to deal with those around him. He loved enjoying every new thing, the stimulation of learning what was around him became his purpose in life. He loved it as he lived.... but with the demons immortality, and he kept living. Life became less enthralling to him, things became dull, and he traveled, and then that too became dull. Zeki desperately scrambled for the feeling of newness again, btu could never find it. THe feeling of boredom came, and unbearable feeling, and Zeki quit travelling, the time it took was way too much time to be bored. He settled down, diving to keep himself as busy as he could, and divert the boredom. [/hider]
