Appearance: [hider=pretty boy][img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT4fnVlJUadwuF9aicSRVzVlb6Qs2Sky9Afy3DVnQWDad147vaMcZyNXfSm[/IMG][/hider]

Personality: Often found staring at windows, focused on how the light is moved and changed by the imperfections in the glass, Zeke is politely referred to as distracted, more accurately referred to as ditzy and unaware. He's quite intelligent, but takes a moment to engage when people speak to him. People, to him, are just objects that reflect light, and so he tends to forget people might have something to say.

He wanders frequently, and has been found in all sorts of odd places. Due to Zeke's otherwise gentle and innocent nature, he's usually left to his own devices. When you do manage to catch his attention, you find an enthusiastic and kind boy who wants to be friends with everyone.

Despite all this, he has a terrible fear of the dark. He dislikes earth elementalists and their basement training grounds, though is fascinated with gems. He likes other elements though, especially water and fire for how they change and make light respectively. 

History: Zeke is the son of an electrical engineer father and a earth elementalist mother. He was a bit of a handful ever since he learned to walk, and his parents would often find him sitting by ponds or staring at devices his father was fixing. Though a happy child, his mother worried about his lack of social skills and interest in making friends.

It was one of her fellow teachers who helped her understand Zeke. She found they could bond over jewelery, and she was the one who bought him his first camera. He was enrolled in the academy in the hopes that he'd find some children his own age that could understand him and gain some real friends.

Equipment: A digital camera equipped with a flash and old-fashioned viewfinder. It's his most treasured possession, and he is most often seen taking photos with it, even of things other people might find boring. [/hider]
