[/indent] [b][color=#A9A9A9]Personality Overview[/color][/b] [indent] Zachariah Reed embodies discipline and stubbornness as two sides of the same coin—his focused determination allows him to maintain control while simultaneously making him resistant to changing course once committed. He views the world through a critical lens, quick to form judgments about others’ character and intentions, especially those he deems morally compromised. Although outwardly stern, there is quiet compassion that occasionally reveals itself. Above all, his loyalty defines him—unwavering and absolute to those who earned his trust, willing to make any sacrifice necessary to protect what matters to him without hesitation or compromise.

Twin brothers growing up in a modest home on the edges of Halcyon, they were ordinary boys with ordinary dreams. The twins spent their days exploring the city’s hidden corners, racing bikes through narrow alleys, and making trouble with their small group of friends. At fourteen, the boys were fearless, convinced of their own immortality. They’d dare each other to venture into abandoned buildings, sneak into movie theaters, and explore the parts of the city their parents had warned them to avoid. They knew nothing of the supernatural world that existed in the shadows around them, protected by the Glamour that kept ordinary citizens oblivious. It was a humid summer night when Zachariah, Elijah, and three of their friends decided to explore an abandoned warehouse. The building had been condemned for years, but rumors of strange noises and lights had piqued their teenage curiosity. They didn’t know they were trespassing on newly claimed vampire territory. The attack came without warning. One moment they were laughing, flashlight beams dancing across graffiti-covered walls; the next, inhuman shapes moved through the darkness. The boys were surrounded, overpowered, and dragged deeper into the building to a hidden underground chamber where a gathering of vampires had been feeding. For three days, the vampires tormented them. The boys were kept in makeshift cells, brought out for the amusement of their captors. The vampires fed on them slowly, drawing out their suffering, using them for entertainment. The Reed brothers watched as their friends were broken, one by one - their spirits crushed before their bodies gave out. On the third night, as Zachariah was being dragged from his cell, gunfire erupted through the complex. The Wardens had tracked the vampire nest and launched an assault. In the chaos, Zachariah saw one of the vampires grab Elijah by the throat and flee through a hidden passage. He screamed his brother’s name, struggling against his bonds, but there was nothing he could do as his twin disappeared into the darkness. To protect Zachariah’s family from the truth, the Wardens staged a tragic accident. A gas leak explosion in the abandoned building claimed the lives of Elijah and their friends, leaving the young Reed as the sole survivor with no memory of the incident due to trauma. His parents, devastated by the loss of one son, focused their attention on helping the other recover. But Zachariah remembered everything. The Wardens approached him discreetly, offering purpose for his rage and grief. He accepted without hesitation, beginning his training in secret while maintaining the facade of a normal life for his family’s sake. Throughout high school and college, Zachariah lived a double life. By day, he was a student pursuing degrees in finance and accounting. By night, he trained with the Wardens, learning to hunt, to track, to kill. He channeled his trauma into precision and focus, becoming a disciplined and lethal force. After graduating, Zachariah established Reed Financial Forensics, an independent consultancy specializing in uncovering financial irregularities, fraud investigation, and due diligence for mergers and acquisitions. His Warden connections steered clients his way, quickly building his reputation in Halcyon’s business community as meticulous, discreet, and thorough. This role provided the perfect cover. As a third-party consultant, Zachariah could access the books of businesses owned by vampires, lycans, and fae. He could examine property holdings, trace shell companies, analyze cash flows, and identify suspicious transactions—all under the guise of professional services. No one suspected that, through their accountant, the Wardens were mapping their networks and tracking their movements. When he wasn’t fighting numbers, Warden Zachariah Reed was hunting monsters. Over the years, he eliminated a number of vampires, each kill bringing him no closer to peace but feeding the cold resolve that had replaced his heart. All the while, he searched for any trace of the vampire who had taken Elijah, or any hint of his brother’s fate. Zachariah was investigating financial irregularities at a high-end nightclub rumored to be a vampire feeding ground and was on his way there when he noticed something unusual in a darkened alley. Following his instincts, he diverted from his path to check it out. What he thought might be a simple matter quickly escalated into a violent confrontation. Though his Warden training served him well, a vicious slash across his chest sent him staggering backward. As blood soaked through his shirt, a powerful blow to his head slammed him against the brick wall and everything went black. He awoke to the Sanguine Curse burning through his veins.[/i] [/indent] [/cell] [cell] [b][color=#A9A9A9]Race-Specific Questions[/color][/b] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [indent] [hider=Race info][b][color=#A9A9A9]▸ Vampires[/color][/b] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [indent] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Born or Turned?[/b][/color] | [i]Turned[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Blood Source Preference[/b][/color] | [i]Synthetic[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Blood Addiction Risk (1-5)[/b][/color] | [i]3[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]View on Fae Blood Ban[/b][/color] | [i]Couldn’t care less about it[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Views on Mortals[/b][/color] | [i]Must protect the innocent[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Views on Fae[/b][/color] | [i]Reluctantly tolerates… for now[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Views on Lycan[/b][/color] | [i]Dislikes them, but not as much as vampires[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Views on Vampires[/b][/color] | [i]Must exterminate[/i] [/indent] [/hider] [/indent] [b][color=#A9A9A9]Miscellaneous[/color][/b] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [indent] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Theme Song[/b][/color] | [i][url=https://youtu.be/JTVW7b4-NNg?feature=shared]“Way Down We Go” by KALEO[/url][/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Favorite Food[/b][/color] | [i]Ice cream[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Favorite Animal(s)[/b][/color] | [i]Horses, elephants, and whales[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Favorite Music Genre[/b][/color] | [i]None in particular, arguably likes any genre[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Favorite Haunt[/b][/color] | [i]Anywhere with greenery[/i] | [i]Urban Grind Café[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Signature Weapon[/b][/color] | [i]Glock[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Preferred Vices[/b][/color] | [i]Risk-taking in small doses[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Pet Peeve[/b][/color] | [i]Bad table etiquette[/i] [color=56DD73]•[/color] [color=#3A5F7F][b]Guilty Pleasure[/b][/color] | [i]Reality shows[/i] [/indent] [/cell][/row][/table] [/color][/hider]
