[h3][b]Alabaster “Al” Zabek[/b][/h3]
[i]July 19[/i] | [i]5'11”[/i][/center]
[i][color=4682B4]Personality[/color][/i]
[indent]A man whose looks is reflective of his inner self; a choice made without indecision one faithful day. He may seem a brooding young man in the beginning, one filled with angst and dislike for others, when in actuality he's simply contemplative, hard-pressed to speak, and all around introverted. Alabaster has always been alone and because of this, has learned to comfort himself and embrace the solitude. Which in turn has led him to pushing away those that attempt to help him. Not in the way most would expect but instead in subtle agreements and tentative decisions—a false kind of deliberation, of ignorance that most would rather not deal with. 

Alabaster is, despite his shortcomings, lionhearted. When the situation requires it and others are too lost in fear to act, he may be the first to do so. Most will not anticipate it from him, others will be dumbfounded. But it is indeed apart of his essence. However, he will shy away from the limelight if it shines on because of this. His sudden appearance and equally sudden disappearance will fascinate the crowd, having them wish for more. 

Despite his dislike of crowds or at times, even holding a simple conversation, Alabaster has become a profound listener and giver of sound advice. Inwardly, quick and confident, his opinion find its mark. A bolted arrow plugging into the mentality of the helped. An idealistic, foolhardy, introvert—most  would laugh at such a combination but Alabaster pulls it off with an adorable finesse. Despite his self-induced seclusion, Alabaster is very fond of spirits.

Now, when comparing and contrasting these staid traits to his friends, one might notice a few differences. When speaking to those that he care for, those that have earned his trust and steeled it through years of loyalty, Alabaster is quaintly expressive of his feelings. In a much more clear and easily grasped way. Though he has never felt so inclined to share with someone as he has with Samuel. The boy who first offered him a friendly hand. Due to being the face of his mother's modeling agency, Al is often confessed to, all to which he politely declined. This is due to his infatuation with one of his close friends.     [/indent]
[i][color=4682B4]Appearance[/color][/i][indent]
A bright-skinned, 21 year old, youth who carries all the cool and elegance of a pampered prince. His skin is smooth and clear, with only a small cut resting an inch from his left brow. Alabaster or Al as his friends call him, has shiny blonde hair that was originally a dark brown. Al's thin eyebrows, decisive light green eyes, straight nose that slightly widens at the nostrils, and his sculpted face; it goes without saying that he's nice to look at.

 His body is trained, etched, and athletic. Some compare him to a whip, others to a coiled spring but all considers him exemplary. The picture of dedication and resolve, the “perfect” body declared by some. Which oddly enough isn't as stacked or caked on as some would believe. His arms are ripped due to his training with his weapons “Misery and Peace”. On the left side of his torso, near his waist, is the remains of terrible burn. It stretches out like four, withering, claws towards his navel.

Alabaster, the adopted-son of the fifth Zabek (the CEO and face of a fast-growing model agency in Cetra), has a taste for the expensive. Though he dabbles in different trends, each reaching out across cultures and traditions, he is often seen wearing a combination of urban and formal attire. Though a few things remain constant or at the very least regular; his black, simplistic, jacket, which is usually hung over his shoulders and a silver pendent, tied through with steel wire.[/indent]

[i][color=4682B4]Background[/color][/i][indent]
Oakridge Academy crowded the brooding youth the moment he stepped through the doors. The student body took to him like flies to sugar, bees to honey, children to toys. It was annoying at first, because by this time he was going through the “rich kid angry at the world” phase. He wanted nothing to do with others, but they all wanted to be friends with him. Al could not see at that point. He did not know the difference between those genuine few and the one's after his wealth. It took, Samuel to make it clear. The charismatic youth who everyone seemed to like—excluding himself at the time. 

He was young but it left a permanent mark on his heart. It changed him, urged him to develop a sense of insight on others. However, this positive, mixed with the negative of his absent mother has only made his life slightly more bearable. If not for Samuel and his group of friends, he would be exceptionally lonely. Funny enough, he had never experienced such loneliness as when Samuel disappeared. He hoped, prayed, and for reasons unknown still believes that Sam hasn't died.  A fleeing ghost that lingers but refuses to be seen. Sometimes, Alabaster truly sees him—though wispy and formless—in his peripheral. The confidence of his voice tells him to get out, enjoy life. In his dreams … Alabaster shares his days with his missing friend.

 Alabaster's mother, the head of the Zabek Modeling agency, was incapable of having children. She searched for years for a child to satisfy her incessantly picky tastes. When she stumbled upon the green eyed, brown hair cherub, she fell for him instantly. Because of this, she groomed and prepped him to be the face and eventual heir to her company. However, she was a very business-inclined woman, who saw no wrongs and nudging her children towards the caretakers. Being gone weeks and months at a time, left Alabaster feeling abandoned. 

Samuel solved that problem and eventually he found meaning in having friends thanks to the others.  Attending Oakridge Academy gave him plenty to occupy himself with. And Samuel gave him tons of determination and resolve. He trained, studied, and though he slacked off, became something of a force to reckon with.  [/indent]

[i][color=4682B4]Memories[/color][/i][indent]
Heartache and fear, two ravenous diseases that ran rampant in Alabaster after the attack on Helston. It seemed almost destined to happen and for the longest time he felt the storm brewing, the darkness encroaching. Samuel was the light to his darkness, the sun to his moon. Though never romantic, he saw Samuel in a very intimate manner; for he had been his savior, the person that birthed the idea of having friends in his heart. After his death, Alabaster sunk into his seclusion even further, widening the shadows of mystery around him. He admits that he does not actively seek out the others, however his loyalty to them should be unquestioned. He does lend them a ear whenever necessary.  

[hider=Relations][i]Olivia “Olive”[/i]
Kind and gentle, outgoing but somberly looking; Alabaster finds her intriguing, alluring even. He senses the connection to Samuel that flows from her and is attracted to that undoubtedly. However, this very fact has prompted him to stray from her the most. His strongest memories of her remains the incessant, yet ultimately welcomed, attempts to spend time with him. Her smile still lingers on the fringes of his mind. 

[i]Kade  “K”[/i]
Kade and Sam's relationship left many unanswered questions for Alabaster. Though she was the closest to him among the females, Al was always confused after interacting with her. He seen admiration in her eyes but knew it was not the same that rested in his own. She, to him at least, was the backbone of the group. She made every decision seem right, even if it was wrong. Her voice whispers promises of paradise in his ears, making her the obvious choice to go to when feeling unsure, doubtful, or weak.

[i]Rui “Rui[/i]
Like him, loneliness swam in zher eyes. And like any animal who saw a significant similarity in each other, Al was drawn to Rui. He connected with zher in a way that allowed smiles to come easier and sighs of release frequently. They were both left alone, like disposable luggage. The fact that zhe's found a way to deal with it leads him to seeing zher more often than the others.  Like a tike to its elders, he finds comfort in zher; dark side and all.

[i]Elvira “Elvira”[/i]
Elvira has always sent Al's brows upwards, whether that be in the way she spoke or the sense of awe she provokes in him. When she speaks, he [i]truly[/i] listens. Anything that might sound the least bit interesting usually catches his ear. Even if he can't supply her with interesting conversation later. 

[i]Scout “Scout”[/i]
Since meeting her, Al has realized that freedom follows her footsteps. When he's with her, he feels like anything and everything is okay; that rules and authority are a injustice. She keeps him feeling young, even though he towers over her by several inches. She plays the big-sister role well, though Alabaster often feels he should be looking after her. If he didn't know her history, he'd actually take the time to spend more time with her. If only to keep her out of trouble. 

[i]Aaron “Aaron”[/i]
Aaron has, since Samuel's passing, managed to deepen their friendship. The two of them hangout, regardless of how Alabaster is feeling at the moment. He goes out his way to disregard his own wants to satisfy the giant's idealistic sense of life. He has no qualms with defending him or fighting for him, cause he knows without a doubt that they are friends.

[i]Eric “Eric”[/i]
Eric's intelligence rivals Elvira's, though Alabaster, for whatever reason is less inclined to listen to him. In fact, at times, he feels the guy is poking and prodding him like some experiment. Though he will not deny that they're friends, Al will usually find one way or another to avoid spending alone time with him.[/hider][/indent]
[i][color=4682B4]Weapon[/color][/i][indent]
[center][hider=Mordrembane][img]http://i.imgur.com/F271oLd.jpg?1[/img][/hider][/center]
Mordrembane, named by Alabaster himself, is a serrated katana that wields in battle. Besides it durable composition and enhanced slicing ability, not much can be said about it. Its about five feet long from hilt to point and slashes with precision when swung correctly. The add-on to this blade is a platinum chain that is used to whip it about. Its length allows it to stretch thirty feet from him in any direction and can be used for offense or defense.[/indent]
[i][color=4682B4]Spirits[/color][/i][indent]
Alabaster is home to two exclusive spirits, though their uniqueness comes from the ability to merge into something greater. They are rather fond of the boy and often manifest to relax with him. Though the instructors seemed pleased at first, they have concluded that they may need to keep an eye on him, for their fusion tends to strain the guardian's psyche. 

“Dyvmir”
[i]Effects[/i]: [color=f7941d]Fire[/color], [color=f7941d]Light[/color], [color=ed1c24]Silence[/color]
[i]Description[/i]: Dyvmir is holy, flame spirit that sets Alabaster's left arm aflame with glorious light. It operates normally and he gains the added ability to sear with touch, stripping away an opponent's magical offense with holy decrees. Dyvmir is a patient, kind spirit. He manifests himself in the form of exalted male lion.Flames dances upon his mane and a blighted cloak falls down his muscled body. 

“Tetune”
[i]Effects[/i]: [color=f7941d]Frost[/color], [color=f7941d]Darkness[/color], [color=0072bc]Protect[/color]
[i]Description[/i]: Tetune is a dark, winter spirit that crystallizes Alabaster's right arm with violet ice. It operates normally, he gains the added ability to freezing with touch, leaving darkness behind with it and (or) creating constructs of protection. Which seems to be a requirement. Tetune is a jealous, temperamental spirit that manifests itself in the form of a white eagle, wings tipped with frost and head adorned with a blacken crown. 

“Wyndea”
[i]Effects[/i]: [color=f7941d]Fire[/color], [color=f7941d]Frost[/color], [color=f7941d]Darkness[/color], [color=f7941d]Light[/color], [color=ed1c24]Pain[/color], [color=ed1c24]Meltdown[/color]
[i]Description[/i]: Wyndea, is in itself, a combination of Tetune and Dyvmir. A white-winged griffin, whose eagle head dances with fiery feathers and lion body is tipped with frosted fur. His wings seemed to be formed from a blighted cloak that's split down the middle. A platinum crown float inches from its head. This spirit induces Tetune's frosty right arm and Dymir's burning right arm on Alabaster, granting him the destructive force of both. When he strikes his foe, an explosion occurs that creates jagged icicles.
