Zoe...kind of just fits in with the crowd, y’know? She’s stands at about five foot six and has a rather average build. Not excessively skinny, not overly fat. Just average. She has light hair, lighter skin, and pale blue eyes. Needless to say, the sun is her mortal enemy, and the two are destined to fight to the bloody end. But the sun, what with it being an enormous ball of superheated gas burning in space, tends to win more often than not, leaving the girl a lovely shade of lobster red for her troubles.

She doesn’t go out of her way to dress any which way. Style is pretty much wasted on the lass. She’ll pick whatever is clean, more or less. Her closet is filled with a mishmash of whatever fits. Hoodies, button ups, t-shirts...she doesn’t really have anything she gravitates towards. Who needs clothes anyway? Pajamas are enough for an all-night gaming session...right?

[b]Background:[/b] 
Zoe was born the only child to a pair of physicians. Growing up, the girl spent a lot of time with baby-sitters or, as she got older, just downright alone. There were never any other children around so while the girl got very good at understanding herself, when it came to others she was a helpless mess. One of her only real life friends she would make would be the Kaitlyn girl that was the daughter of her mother’s friend. The two spent a decent amount of time together, and eventually just sort of melted into friendship. It was fine for Zoe, really. Kaitlyn was interesting. But more than that, Kaitlyn was bold. Kaitlyn didn’t care about anything. Zoe was jealous. She wasn’t to be like the girl but...well, it just wasn’t happening.

But it’s not like the girls could spend ALL of their time together, and being alone was something that Zoe did pretty well. If she wasn’t studying or reading, she was probably playing a video game of some sorts. It didn’t matter what kind, the girl was into just about anything. But as she grew up, she became more and more attracted to a certain kind: MMORPGs. She played through just about any that she could get her mitts upon. But it didn’t take long for her to find her way into Elder Tale. It had just about everything the girl could ask for. So she immersed herself in it. It was a sort of loop, really. The more and more she pushed herself into the game, the more awkward she would be outside of it, which would lead to uncomfortable encounters in the real world, which would in turn push her even further into the game. It wasn’t healthy, but she didn’t care. Hell, if she could, she would have loved to LIVE in that world…

Eventually, Zoe managed to convince her best friend Gabbie (or Katie or Kaitlyn, depending on who you asked), to give the game a spin. She fell for it instantly. It was a win-win for Zoe. She got her Elder Tale time AND her Gabbie time, now in one. It was like having her cake and eating it too. Gabbie rolled an Assassin, and to experience the game with her, Zoe rolled one as well. Honestly, it was even better than it was before.

For a while.

But eventually Gabbie got really into PK. Which was alright, but it wasn’t exactly Zoe’s cup o’ tea. But when her friend would ask her to lend her a hand, Zoe couldn’t help but agree. She even somehow found herself roped into the same PK guild as the violent girl. It was...jarring at first, but Zoe came to love the little community. Even if she wasn’t a fan of what they were doing, the company made it worth it, so...yeah.

Everything was smooth for a while, but about a week before the newest expansion, something happened and the guild disbanded. She refuses to talk about it though.

And then, when the day of Pioneers finally came to be, Zoe finally got her wish.

Catastrophe.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Zoe...geez...she’s just weird. She very rarely seems to speak, but when she does, it’s very soft and very quick, and usually just to her closest friends (or friend. As in singular. As in only Kaitlyn.) and even then only when there’s not too many people around. Call it what you want, really. Selective mutism. Social anxiety. Snobbiness. The long and short of it is, the girl is basically a potato in public. Sure, she’ll laugh if something’s funny, but then she’ll hear her own laugh and think something is wrong with it and stop. Pity, that. Really, the girl just worries WAY WAY WAY too much about what other people think about her. Nearly obsesses, really.

When it comes to just about anything other than human interaction, Zoe’s a bona fide whiz kid. Most things she gets her grubby little paws upon, she understands. Computers, games, books, what have you. This has been excellent for her grades. Unfortunately, that still doesn’t transfer over to social encounters. Go figure.

The girl frequently gets lost in her own head, daydreaming something or other. She could spend hours lost up there, so the best remedy is usually a swift slap in the back of skull. Just to keep her on her toes, yeah?

In-game, the girl doesn’t really suffer from the usual social breakdown. Text communication? She can handle it. And well. She’s even actually rather well liked amongst her (former)guildmates. She’s a straight shooter, preferring not to lie or deceive people, much to her partners’ chagrin. She’s also pretty passive, letting things go as they may. This often leads to her being taken advantage of, but she doesn’t mind if it’s to help a friend if they ask her. Or a stranger if they ask her. Or an enemy if they ask her. Look, she doesn’t handle pressure well, alright?

Zoe’s knowledge of Elder Tale gives her a bit of confidence she doesn’t normally have in real life. But know that the game has changed, how will the fragile girl adapt?

Probably poorly.

The awkward chica decided to roll an elf for this toon. And she decided to have a little fun with it, making the elf rather tall. Somewhere above six foot, easily. She has soft orange-red hair, with rather distant and vacant green eyes. Her resting face shows something more along the lines of boredom, sadness, or just general disinterest. While she does stand tall, she slouches, her neck bent and her head and eyes cast downward.

She wears cloth robes, not really for any statistical bonus, but just because she likes the look of it. Theme can be important, y’know. 


[b]Class:[/b] Assassin
[b]Class Level:[/b] 85
[b]Skills:[/b] 

[hider=Rapid Shot]

Continuous rapid fire shooting. A skill that has many practical uses, can give large damage by concentrating on one target, or can attack multiple targets by scattering the shots. Generic skill for ranged Assassins[/hider]

[hider=Atrophy Break]

 An attack with arrow or throwing knife aimed at the opponents nerves. If it hits the target, the enemy is paralyzed for a few seconds, and it has the additional effect of reducing the targets movement speed afterwards. The paralysis duration is short compared to other skills, but the movement speed reduction effect suit ranged Assassins that repeatedly "shoot and run".[/hider]

[hider=Silent Sniper]

Skill that silently marks an enemy without notifying them. By marking an enemy as the target, hit rate, critical rate and damage towards them is increased for the duration of the effect. A powerful supplementary skill that can change the outcome of a fight, it cannot be performed while moving and evasion rate is reduced, so care must be taken when positioning. When in use there is a aiming target like the scope of a rifle locked onto the target.[/hider]

[hider=Assassinate] 

Assassin's key and last-resort skill, it is the strongest instantaneous damage ability among weapon-based attacking classes. Deals large damage to an enemy's body; furthermore, enemies usually are killed instantly if their levels are lower than the Assassin's by 10 levels or more. Since the strength of this skill increases with higher ranks, the Assassin can potentially outclass the firepower of others. If the attack lands, a white glow appears on screen surrounding the enemy, showing their silhouette falling if it is instant death. Against Player Characters, deals heavy damage instead. [/hider]

[hider=Stealth Blade]

Takes an enemy by surprise and launches an ambush. A strong attack technique that increases it's damage greatly if it hits the back of the enemy. The cooldown is short, and can be used aggressively if there is a chance. However, it must be used in combination with other skills to efficiently take advantage of the "attack from behind" condition in solo situations. It is suited for use in parties since the job of the warrior is the attract the attention of enemies, this basic form of cooperation leaves the enemy open to surprise attacks from the back, creating a pincer attack.[/hider]

[hider=Fatal Ambush]

Skill that does an ambush attack. After preparing the weapon and storing energy for a while, unleashes a powerful slash or shot using the power of the entire body. Because the storing time is long, one can easily be interrupted or separated from the target, so in order to use the skill without risks it is common to use in combination with stealth skills. As the skill rank increases, the storage time decreases and becomes easier to use. When in use the weapon or arrow glows a dark red and leaves a trail in the air.[/hider]

[hider=Sweeper]

Skill that delivers a coup de grâce with minimum movement. Enemies that are near death or is considerably lower level than you are instantly killed. This is said to be a skill that makes an Assassin an Assassin, along with Assassinate. It has short motions so it is easily used between other skills, it's often used to clean up mobs missed by other party members, and for eliminating mobs that surround the boss. Against Player Characters, this skill instead deals heavy damage to Players under 15% max health.[/hider]

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b] 

Despite not being a big fan of PK, Zoe is rather decent at it.

Hates crowds. Like, hates hates hates crowds. People are just ugh, man.

Tends to get too excited and mushes her words together into an unintelligible mess. Gabbie’s been around her long enough to usually know what she’s wanting though.

Her main toon is actually a cleric [Z-01], with her backup being a bard [Z-02]. Both are level 90 as well. She has...a number of other alts. What can she say? Girl likes variety.
