APPEARANCE
General appearance: Zeus is a tall and strongly built male warrior. Standing at 6"4 and weighing at 175 lbs without his show gear, he has a Japanese/Brazilian look just like his Faceclaim’s heritage truly is. Zeus’s jet black hair is pulled back into a high ponytail, which only comes down to the bottom of his neck, with a little bit of short hair hanging in the back. Around the front, where his bangs are, are two locks of hair hanging in front of his face. And on his face, there’s a long scar running down his face and over his left eye. As with being 39 and going through what he has gone through in the recent years, his face shows signs of aging such as a little bagging around the eyes and forehead wrinkling up a little more than usual when he raises his eyebrows at any point.On his chest, if looking at it bare, there can be noted that there are several light scars along his body with nothing noticeable on the left arm, but if one were to look over to his Right arm, they would notice that in its place is a high-tech, cybernetic arm. The arm is water-proof, Freeze-proof and Fire proof for the most part. Sand and dust does not bother him as the arm’s circuitry is well sealed off from outside sources. If the arm is to get wet and then is exposed to extreme cold, ice can freeze on it. And just like any metal, the arm has its melting point, but hopefully he never has to get near a source of heat so extreme. Whenever frozen, the exterior can crack and leave it exposed to water. The other downfall to his arm is it's incredible weight. Despite his athleticism and strength, he still has a hard time maneuvering the arm from time to time. It adds a considerable amount of difficulty to his fights, but some advantages as well. But the biggest downfall of all is his operating systems inside of his arm. They're prone to concussive blasts And that can cause his arm to malfunction, ceasing operation entirely. On his waist, he bears a red blade in a high-tech sheath along his side; he usually never draws the sword unless he’s in a situation that his Pokemon, his physical strength and any other force involved can’t handle. Or if he's out to kill the target quickly and quietly.
He has a brand new, very recent addition to his body now as well. A long, diagonal, jagged scar runs across his belly, adding even more ripple to his abs, he often jokes. His most recent mission went spiralling out of control, even though they won, and thanks to field care, the scar is even messier than it should be. He doesn't mind, and makes it wiggle when it's not hurting him, just to make the guys laugh.
The arm is a product developed by Akiyama industries. Zeus holds prototype 3-C. His father signed papers to have it surgically attached to his arm and Zeus is fine with that, considering that his arm is sort of important to him. The family has a long line of technologically experimental people. Zeus's grandfather was the man who started the industries cybernetic prosthetics line, and it was carried on by his son and it is written down that the company is to be passed on to Zeus at his father, Osiris's, passing.
On the job uniform:He wears a cybernetic outfit that gives him a strong range of boosts if it remains functional. While the outfit may seem heavy, only weighing 125 lbs, the outfits weight bears no burden on him. He's grown accustomed to the weight of the outfit. Run a little faster, jump a little higher and hit a little harder.. if systems stay in tact. Weighs 125 lbs, prone to concussive blasts and basically sharing the other weaknesses his arm has, it would seem the cons out weigh the pros. But to zeus, having that hard metal outfit to protect him on the job is priceless, even if it may hinder his movement if damaged in critical points. Zeus no longer has a practical need for this outfit, and now it stays in a special garment bag in his tinkering room just in case he's ever called on and it's needed again.
Work-out Outfit: Zeus can be found in a light-weight, under-armor Tank-top. Black in color with red outlines, a silver symbol on his chest and his last name printed onto the back between the shoulder-blades. His sword is still on his waist of course, but for his outside wear, he has Black shorts, knee length and have black lines going down the side of them, basketball shorts style. For his shoes, he wears socks with black Tennis shoes tied up tight enough to prevent blistering.
Casual Out-fit: This is a loose fit, white T-shirt or when he’s at home with no company, no shirt at all. He wears a pair of blue-jeans with his blade attached to his hip and under the sheath’s waist belt, there’s a Black Canvas belt holding his loose fit, U-Fit Blue Jeans up around his waist. If he’s wearing the shirt, it’s tucked into his pants with at least a Two-arm stretch up of shirt around his where it’s tucked. When at home, he’s in socks and when he’s out and about, he’s either wearing tennis shoes or combat style boots, whatever the weather permits. He even sometimes even wears sandals from time to time if he’s feeling daring.
Formal outfit: He wears a black suit with a black tie and a red Pocket square on his upper left chest pocket. His hair stays in its usual ponytail but now there’s an ear-piece in his right ear that functions like a blue-tooth but looks like a hearing aid (Works cause you’d think he needs one from time to time). A little tool he used to use in his mercenary days that now comes in handy when communicating at formal occasions without wanting to pull his phone out to talk. He keeps his shoes shined and in good condition, just how he was raised to do so.

PERSONALITY
| POSITIVE Brilliant Loyal Athletic Cultured Disciplined NEGATIVE Obsessed Repressed Weak Indiscriminate killer Impatient LIKES nature, battling, chopping the heads off of pedophiles, cybernetics, exercise, books. DISLIKES pedophiles, chocolate (Allergy), vanilla (Allergy), most women, the smell of a woman, people who use too much perfume, assholes who fart in elevators and teenagers who think tea bagging is funny. STRENGTHS physical strength, mental strength, stamina, battle wits. WEAKNESSES weight of his arm, his occasionally short temper, his lower back (almost broke it once, if hit hard enough, he will pass out. Suit offers some protection.), his Pokemon getting severely wounded, food allergies (chocolate and vanilla), stupid people, the weaknesses of his suit and arm, his repression and his family. | Brilliant: Ever since he was little, he’s always had a well set mind in all skills knowledgeable and respectful. Some call his brilliance a weakness and a future down fall, but when he controls it as well as he does, who can say that? Math, biology, Chemistry, Astrology, Geology, Technology, physics; you name it, he can probably tell you about it or learn about it swiftly. This is a trait that's often overlooked though, as he acts like a full blown buffoon almost all of the time. Loyal: He’s always devoted to his Pokemon, his family business and even his father. Even if his father put him through a lot, he won’t ever turn his back on him. “Family is family. You only get one, appreciate them because if it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t be here." He's even got a small ritual of visiting his mother's grave on certain days, they're still solemn, but not as solemn as before, now that she's been avenged. At least in his mind. Athletic: Zeus’s mornings start with him going outside and taking a good jog around the block with his Pokemon. Then he goes on to do his normal daily routine, but sometimes, in his free time, Zeus enjoys other exercises and enjoys parkour. He’s physically fit and loves running 5Ks with friends that can keep up with him. With several martial arts mixed with weight lifting, he’s become a little on the muscular side and that just somewhat expresses his power. He has a few friends that'll give him a run for his money, their taunts help him keep up with the regiment on mornings he doesn't feel like moving. Cultured: When he needs to be, he has very refined manners due to him growing up in a rich man household. He can be quick to turn to this side of his personality and it makes him a delight to be around at formal occasions. Don't be fooled by his boorish manners outside of the cultured environment. Disciplined: He has control over his self and knows when to stop something he’s doing and isn’t afraid to stop what someone else is doing if it’s out of line and affecting others in a bad sense. (Unless they're a target) His discipline may slip though if he's having a drunk fight with his buddies, like Weston, or Browley. Mostly cause they like to sit on him and tickle him to see how long it takes until he loses his cool. Obsessed: He’s obsessed with his work in cybernetics and space sciences. It could almost be considered creepy. His entire basement is just a bunch of work of his own, private studies of human anatomy, astrology and technology. It's due to this obsession as well that he is able to keep his armor and his arm in top shape... most of the time. Repressed: His father may not have paid much attention to him and the Butler may have raised him most of his life, but he still loved them. Thanks to never know his mother, more emotions were created and he repressed them as well, along with the feeling of not having freedom or a child-hood. What finally tips off all of this repressiveness though was when he lost his arm in a traumatic incident, leaving him in a slight state of shock from time to time. He has began to break free of these memories though. Weak: He’s a sobbing mess when his mind turns back to his repressed emotions and it makes him weakened and vulnerable to emotional as well as some form of physical damage. When someone or something triggers this in public, he will move to a secluded place before having a breakdown. Some may joke that this is a nice break from seeing him try to hold strong for so long. Even Daisuke will admit that there's a time where all men need to cry, to his self, granted, but the thought is there. And thanks to time, these wounds are starting to heal, toughening him up, but his weaknesses are still there. Indiscriminate killer: Zeus will kill whoever and whatever he is sent after in his missions and he will do so with no remorse. He doesn't care if they were good or evil, they will fall by his blade if he's paid to make them fall. If the pay was good, he used to go after children. But that part changed after a series of events, such as Rosa, Kaida, and losing his arm. Impatient: he doesn't appreciate being told or even made to wait. He's been known to drag people out the door or just charge/sneak into the area that his target is in if he has a partner that's slowing him down. Zeus does not appreciate waiting for others. Keep him waiting, and you'll end up all alone. He'll come back to get you of course, but he won't like it. |
BACKGROUND
Zeus was born in the winter season, right in the far end of Ecruteak, next to the burned tower. His mother didn't make it though, catching "pneumonia" and dying shortly after the boy was born. He was taken into the gym. His dad wasn't able to arrive until after these events causing for him to be frustrated in hisself and not believe he had the capabilities to raise this boy, so he left him in Ecruteak with a nanny to raise him, only coming to visit from Cianwood once a year.
The nanny taught him manners and how to have some class, but the nanny never taught the boy tolerance. When he was five, his father brought him a Shinx to have and that didn't boost the boys thoughts about the man at all, so the next year, he got him an aron, still no dice. Zeus only put up a facade that he cared for him, it wasn't until he was 19.
When Zeus became 14 years old, he began his adventure around he Johto region, and when he turned 18, he became a mercenary and created his sword.
When Zeus turned 19, he was already in his 32nd mission as a mercenary for team rocket. The fog was high and the visibility was so low, you would think you had become a Zubat. It was when he turned a corner, the fog suddenly cleared and there was a man standing around the corner with a Honchkrow. It was his target and he would have had him to if the target hadn't of had his Rhydon pin him to the building by his right arm. Crushing and mangling the limb, Zeus black out instantly. When he woke up, he was in a hospital and his dad was there. Beaten, but there. As it turned out, his dad had saved his life and he did owe him now.
It took three years to recover from the accident and adjust to his new arm. When he turned 22, he began his adventure again to finish it this time, with a Luxio, Lairon and a absol in tow. When he reached blackthorn (now the age of 24, a sluggish trip thanks to his injury and brush with death), he stayed there for a couple of years, recovering and catching a dratini when he turned 26. This was also a place where he would learn to finally accept his arm and at least close the massive emotional wound that he received when his arm was crushed.when he turned 29, he travelled to the Kalos, Sinnoh and unova, making his final destination Anrui.
When he turned 32 he travelled to the Anrui region with a Luxray, Lairon, Absol and Dratini. He used his father's shipping crate for cybernetic parts to move his Pokemon into the region, concealing them in a lock box at the very bottom of the crate. Retrieving them when the docks closed at midnight. Picking his way inside the warehouse and almost getting caught, but he made it out, thankfully.
He's survived there now, alone and in seclusion for quite a while in Kairo, until now, he comes out, meditated and ready to take on his job as a mercenary once again, this time for team plasma.
And the work for Team Plasma was comfy, but it was not to Zeus's liking. While being the murderer he is, he has virtues, and those virtues stop when things are brought too far. Before he could take his oppurtunity to defect though, he was contacted by an anonymous letter. Well, anonymous to anyone who doesn't know the code language it was written in.
He needed to contact Daisuke, his older brother... It was interesting, to say the least, when he had to contact the very same brother who wanted to punch his face in. After a bit of taunting in portuguese, and some arguing in japanese where he could understand him, he finally got to say what he wanted to say... via handing him the letter with a beat up, bloodied hand. Daisuke agreed to go with him.
Without a word, Zeus packed up and left, heading to a distant, remote island in range of Johto with his brother on a very cramped, very uncomfortable boat ride in a freight container. Daisuke and Zeus were left to their own devices. Push-ups and sit-ups were some of the very few exercises they could manage. Both of them had to leave what Pokemon they couldn't carry back in Anrui, where Osiris packed up for them, and took their stuff back home in Cianwood for safe keeping. Armed with four pokemon each, the clothes on their back, the boys were dropped off in the arctic where they met up with Browley's father.
Zeus felt naked without his armor. They were there to help the older man out by providing some superior fire power, it was a simple, but delicate task... well. Actually, it was a very difficult task. Which they got done, but in the long run, the younger of the three wound up wounded. Zeus suffered a large injury, and horrible scarring due to the field care they had available that wound up holding him over until they got him to Cianwood.
Zeus cursed his self for having to spend so long away from Anrui. He heads back now, but lightly packed and moving cautiously as he decided that now would be the best time to defect. While he didn't stand for what the bombing of the event center did, Zeus did know that he sure as hell wasn't going back to Plasma.
