FULL APPEARANCE:
Zagreus is a tall, visably athletic man. He has pale skin and black hair that he doesn't care enough about to stop from sticking up into the air. How it looks is how it looks, and it's not going to matter. He has a very symmetrical face, and has a very stereotypical base attractiveness factor. You could look at him and say, 'oh, that's a handsome lad'. Zag doesn't really think he's handsome.
He wears nice clothes, usually in red, black, or whites. They are for the most part practical clothes, but sometimes if he's feeling really fancy he'll wear something to reflect that.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Zagreus is a good kid. He is a humorous and witty young man who is well-spoken and kind. His humor can often delve into sarcastic and even self-deprecating territories. He is protective of his friends, and respective of his elders (except for his dad, for many reasons). All he wants is to see the world, and now he's glad that he can finally do that. He is persistent, he creates a goal in his mind and then he will follow the path it leads him on to it's end. He's not a quitter, and will always try again.
He is often blunt to the point of insulting, but he will apologize once he realizes he said something wrong. He won't ever apologize for a little bit of sass, though. He's a prankster and will find the most PERFECT opportunity to unleash one onto someone. And consequences? Who? Zagreus never thinks of the consequences, recklessly running into situations way over his head and getting hurt, mentally or physically, and hurt often. He isn't the most intelligent man alive, and he knows it. He is also a little bit of a kleptomaniac, swiping things from people without care- but only small things. If something small isn't tied down and he wants it, he'll take it when no one is looking.
HISTORY

BIRTHPLACE: A small hold near High Reaches
HISTORY:
Zagreus grew up the only child of a couple from a small hold near High Reaches. He spent most of his days playing with the other children at the hold. When he got older, he was expected to chip in with the work that one of his parents did, and he much preferred farming with his mother, Kore, than whatever the hell his father did- trading. His father had tough expectations of him and was always tough on him in return, his mother was always kind to him, so of course he favored being around mother dearest.
As time went on, Zagreus found that he didn't want to stay. He didn't actually like farming, was never going to do what his dad did (he never really cared enough to learn), and he wanted more out of his life. Literally anything. In all honesty, he didn't quite care what he did as long as it wasn't at his hold and was more exciting than tilling dirt and planting crops. Maybe a weyr? Maybe a bigger hold? Faranth, anything would be better. He never put much thought into it beyond, 'I would like to leave.' There wasn't much he could do about it, though. He didn't really know anyone who would take him somewhere else, and he didn't have a large enough sum of money to pay a passing caravan to take him anywhere- and he certainly wasn't going to ask for a handout from dear old dad. So, he stayed and kept farming with his mom, much to his dismay. It was a fine life, sure, but it wasn't one he was completely happy with.
And then, he was searched. The searchdragons came, the searchdragons took him to High Reaches, and he would stand at whatever Hatching came his way, no matter the creature. Zagreus was glad to stand, honestly, anything that would take him away from home. It wasn't his original idea, but, what's the problem with having a dragon or wher around for company?
