APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Blond
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6’3” Lean
PLAY-BY: Shizuo Heiwajima (Durarara!!)
FULL APPEARANCE:
Shizuo is a tall and lanky, though strong, young man. He's in good shape, but he can't seem to build any significant muscle despite having a large wher to handle. He's pale with a tendency to burn out in the sun, which is rare since bonding to his wher. He keeps his blond hair short, but has little success keeping it from being anything but messy. His eyes are brown. He dresses for his work, rarely wearing bright colors or anything that will attract attention.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
The first impression people get of Shizuo is that he's loud, angry, and ready to pick a fight with just about anyone. Most people don’t get to see Shizuo’s other side, as he tends to fly under the radar when not in a rage. He is more than content to go about his day doing his thing, but his short temper often gets the better of him leaving a sour taste in others’ mouths. Despite his penchant to punch things (and people) he abhors violence and tries to avoid it at all costs with varying levels of success. He’s surprisingly patient with children and finds they don't tend to avoid him as much as adults do. He tries to deny it, but he would fight Faranth herself to protect a kid and win. He's a fan of sweet things and can be conned into helping in the kitchens in order to get a treat (or seven).

HISTORY:
Since time immemorable, Shizuo has had a temper. Whether it was tantrums thrown as a baby or fights with other children it has been incredibly easy to goad Shizuo into throwing a punch, especially in defense of his little brother. He could never explain why he got so angry, only that he ‘saw red’ and reacted accordingly, usually disproportionately, to the teasing and name calling. He never intentionally sought out trouble, but it always seemed to come to him, even when he was just trying to do his chores and keep his head down.

Fortunately for him, things got better as he got older. The other children found better things to do than antagonize him, and a handful even tried to befriend him, though he kept them at arm’s length. It was a little less lonely though. He found himself observing a wher hatching not long after turning eighteen. He wasn’t up for candidacy himself, but curiosity got the better of him. As luck would have it, he found himself facing the clutchmother when she rolled a large egg to him, and before he could say much of anything the shell cracked and a handsome Bronze worked his way out of the shell.

You’re calm, good. Anger bad for your heart. Shizesk will help you stay calm.

The wher was right; he was surprisingly calm considering the situation, even after his hand was bitten for blood. From then, Shizuo knew he had to step up his game to catch up to his peers on his missing knowledge of whers. Despite his best efforts, he was realizing that he wasn’t really welcome at the hold. People were still wary of him, and even his family weren’t sure how to interact with him. Wanting a new start, he decided to travel to Semaca, hoping for a new start and a way to be useful.

SHIZESK


BASICS
NAME: Shizesk
BIRTHDATE Late Summer 2764
AGE: 7 as of Late Fall 2771

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 15 ft
HEIGHT: 5.5 ft
COLOR: Bronze
HEX CODE: #acab2a
FULL APPEARANCE:
While average in size for a Bronze, Shizesk appears much bigger due to his build. He's short and stocky, covered in thick strong, muscle. His tail is short, but also thick with muscle, and if he's not careful he may accidentally knock things over. His hide is a mess of green and dark toned bronze, laid over each other in a sort of camouflage pattern.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Cool as a cucumber, solid as a rock, Shizesk is difficult to rile. He abhors violence for the sake of violence and has a low opinion of those who don't feel the same. He's not above stepping between combatants, especially if it's his own handler, on whom he will sit to stop him radiating disappointment. He knows Shizuo is better than his temper and will do whatever he must to get His to realize this. He isn't in the business of babying his handler, but won't be cruel to him either, just as he expects His to keep his temper in check.

Shizesk is quite intelligent for a wher and uses that to his advantage where he can. He loves puzzles, the more complex the better, as he likes to keep his mind sharp. Shizesk enjoys laying outside and listening to night sounds when not on patrol.

[Arcane]

-Shizuo needs a second paragraph of personality.

-For someone who abhors violence, he sure seems to punch a lot of people and pick a lot of fights. How does he reconcile the two? Does he feel any guilt or self-loathing for all the violence he starts?

-Shizuo needs a birthplace. His history could also use more specificity about where he grew up and what his family was like. It looks like he was a holder from the last paragraph, but this should be clear from the beginning of the history.

-Were he and his brother teased an usual amount or did he just have a strong reaction to the normal teasing between kids?

-TPA does not allow stands hatchings for whers and we no longer allow "accidental candidates". For him to have Impressed a wher, he needs to either have been an official candidate or decided to buy a wher egg on his own.

-Why did it take seven years for Shizuo to decide he wasn't welcome and why Semaca? Semaca is pretty far off the beaten path for holders, which is fine, but just needs an explanation.

-Shizesk also needs a second full paragraph for personality.
