Appearance:
Standing just short of "tall', Zyzyx is fairly inconspicuous. When you can see under Zyzyx hood, which isn't often, you'll find an unremarkable man. His nose could be called a little big, but not enough to comment on. It may have even been broken once but, who can say. His facial hair is thick and auburn brown. The hair on his head, although darker, is the same. His eyes are hazel. His teeth are off white. He is all around unremarkable, which is how he likes it.
Personality:
Zyzyx is a quite man. He prefers the company of animal companions to that of human. It's simpler that way. You don't have to worry about silly things like "emotions" or "etiquette" when your dealing with a creature. Not like with a human. Of course creatures have emotions and etiquette as well. But a creature wont be offended because you ate with your fingers, or angry because you told them they're wrong. A creature doesn't get mad cause you taught it a better way to do something. No, being with creatures is better. Simpler. Plus, unlike humans, they aren't always jabbering on...
background:
Ricci? Yeah I've worked for him before. Mostly scouting. Recon. I'm his front line. I'm the guy he sends where no one else wants to go. Hell. I'm the guy he sends where no humans has ever been. Mount Zanlis, the Caecilian Jungle. I am no stranger to the Black Riage. I get in, I get out. As far as anyone's concerened. I was never there. What I'm trying to say is that I'm his man in the field. So this request... House sitting? Are you sure this I'm who this letter is for?
Tie to the City
I hate the city. Thought Zyzyx as he wandered the stalls. I can't believe I'm doing this. I should go. He was just about to leave when a voice chirped up from behind him. "Z? Hey, Z!" It was a girl named May. The same girl he'd been trying to talk to for three weeks and had just gotten the courage to talk to the day before. "Your armors finished. Good as new." She said, blowing her long red hair out of her eyes. She always had her hair pulled back while she worked, but always managed to miss just enough to have to brush it out of her eyes. Uh. Thanks. Said Zyzyx, shifting uncomfortably. I uh... Well I'll see yeah. He said, trying to hide as far beneath his hood as he could. Laughing, she called after him. "Hold up!"Oh god this is happening. This is real and we're talking and I'm going to have to try and act charming and she's going to flirt and I'm going to die or screw up or I'll say something stu... His thought ran wild as he turned to face her. He tried to talk but nothing came out, so he grinned. She was smirking. "I know you're not trying to take off on me with out paying." Zyzyx died. His heart stopped. His brain gave out. His body gave up. At least that's how he felt. Oh god... He though, as he fumbled for the shins to pay her. I'm so sorry I... But she was already locking up her stall. "Oh, sorry, I'm closed." She said, with a look of fake disappointment. "Looks like I'll have to call for the guards seeing how you're now a thief now." Zyzyx stood there. Utterly dumbfounded. "Unless, of course, you make it up to me." She said with a sly grin. "Buy me dinner." she said, now with a deadly serious look. Uh... Zyzyx managed. She rolled her eyes and smiled. "Come on." She said, grabbing his hand and taking him further into the city.
For the next two years his adventures always seemed to lead back to the city, and she was always waiting. He still hated the city. She still made it worth it. He'd asked her to come with him, but her father was sick so she had to stay. For the next to years he made himself a base of operations just 15 miles outside the city. He never finished his journey to the coast. He never got to finish his childhood dream of seeing the ocean. And after her, he never cared.
