A P P E A R A N C E
Zikenma is a quite tall for a Midlander, and is often mistaken for being a Highlander, for good reason. He is of a muscular, lean build showing signs of intensive strength training as well as cardio. He has dark red hair, which sometimes shows black roots. His eyes are an emerald green, and his skin is pale. He often hides his face behind a mesail or a scarf, though the reason for this is unknown. .
B E H A V I O R
Zikenma is a man of few words, but when he does speak it is something that he believes is very important. A rather serious man by nature, though with a dry sense of humor, he is not above joking around in a social setting. As of late, he has begun to make an effort to be a more social person as he believes that his lack of personal tact has caused him more problems than it is worth. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, although he is less comfortable in sharing his emotions openly with even his closest friends.
Zikenma defaults to being rather serious, but he values a clear head over all else. He will rarely lose his temper, and when he does, he is often quick to regain his composure. He is known to meditate to keep his lurking anger problems in check, and to keep a more clear mind when approaching difficult situations.

Zikenma fights with a combination of a giant sword, brutal strength, and surprising quickness despite his size. He has an uncanny jump height as well as the ability to tap into his own inner darkness as well.
His mastery of his inner darkness comes from his mastery over his own emotions. His devotion to his loved ones is a powerful ally while wielding this force in combat, as it allows him to draw upon a large source of inner strength that does not threaten to overtake him.
Zikenma’s sword style lacks in finesse, though it is compensated for by his raw strength. Despite his dextrous movements, he is not a master in the art of the greatsword. He mostly relies on his raw strength to overpower foes, rather than outskill them in melee combat.

| ● Sukina Cassady | Expand"The Fearless Leader" |
| One of Zikenma’s closest friends, and one that he trusts almost entirely. There is a strange sense of guilt that could be felt when he is around her, though. She is a fellow fighter, and one that he has fought many battles beside. Being the leader of the Tomial Order, Zikenma does everything possible to watch Sukina’s back. | |
| ● Cedane Alvey | Expand"The Emotional Healer" |
| Though a complicated history seems evident from the first words that they exchange, Zikenma cares deeply for this Midlander woman. He may not feel the way about her that he once did, and can find her loud and energetic attitude to be draining at times, but this does not change the fact that he wishes for naught but her safety and happiness. | |
| ● Hitari Ishiyama | Expand"Fist of the Order" |
| One of the founding members of the Tomial Order, and one that has known Zikenma for a long time. She is just as committed to keeping everyone safe as he is, and is a respectable fighter in her own right. Zikenma finds that she can be too impulsive, but is more than happy to call her an ally and a friend. | |
| ● Shance Arvisu | Expand"The Layabout Cousin" |
| Zikenma’s cousin. The two of them have not seen each other in a long time, but they have never quite gotten along to begin with. Zikenma finds his cousin to be unbearably laid back and overconfident. Zikenma found his apathy towards anything other than women and chocobo racing to be infuriating. The time apart may have changed their relationship dynamic, but Zikenma does not remember times spent with Shance fondly. Despite this, he is the only family that Zikenma seems to have, and thus he still cares about his wellbeing. | |
O U T - O F - C H A R A C T E R
Will
- RP walk-ups, whether starting myself or receiving from others.
- Join in for long term plotlines that make sense for the character.
- Combat RP, preference towards freeform.
- Most mature themes in RP are okay, though consult if they could have long term effects on my character.
Won't
- Tolerate meta-gaming.
- ERP, I've no problem with it, but I'm not here for it.
- Character death, or limb removal, without my consent.
- Would prefer not to acknowledge fantasia plot lines, as I find them be tension and immersion breaking.
- Dragging IC issues into OOC. I do not mind clarification of course on certain things, but my character's views do not reflect my views.
