Description: In his normal form, Zurich is a slender and feminine boy. Standing proudly at 5 ft 8, he has the tan and rough skin of a farmer boy, familiar with all the hard work and there're quite many scars on his back though he's carefully hiding it behind his high collar, long-sleeves gray-green t-shirt. He let his hair grow long so he can tie it into a high pony tail. His lips are juicy and it gives him a cute look whenever he pouts - with his cheeks puff and his lips set into a pouty expression. His eyes are another different story. They are dulled gray and there's always a shadow in them no matter what angles everyone's looking at. His voice is low as well as scratchy. His smiles are always somewhat strained and forced while frowning and pouting come very naturally to him. He hides himself very carefully in this form. With a long gray t-shirt and pants with matching color, Zurich makes sure that no one can be able to see through his layer of clothes and study what's beneath it. He also wears a blue apron whenever he's working which, in everyone's mind, makes him look even more like a housewife...but don't you ever say that out loud in front of his face or he might just send you a kiss with his fist.
Name: Zurich Parkinson
Age: 17
Sex: Male
I Otherwordly changed into a: Veela
In his veela form, Zurich is a very beautiful albeit slightly feminine boy. His height is still the same however, his body becomes more well-tone and his skin will turn paler as well as smoother and cooler. All of his scars will disappear, leaving him with a perfect body that everyone, from guys to girls, wants to stare at. However, the most significant change are his face and hair. His hair turns from black to a pure white color, just like the snow in September nights. It will become very soft, silky and have a strange silver light whenever the moonlight touches it. His ears become pointier and almost-elf-like. His face becomes sharper and more elegant while his eyes turns from dull gray...to emerald - the most beautiful shade of emerald - bright and clear. His eyes have a very gentle, playful and kind glint mixing up with some lustful desires. His smiles are bright and they lit up his entire face unlike his human's emotionless smiles. His voice changes with his form as well. It turns higher and more like the sound of a bell. It can sooth a person or send chills to their spines depends on the situations. His clothes mostly consist of a long pale yellow silk coat with no shirt (leaving him with his bare chest) and a pair of white silk pants. On his neck is a strange necklace with a crystal stone and on his wrists are several bracelets with various colors.
Veela is a type of creature that can seduce people. In this form, Zurich has the same ability as any other veela - seduction. However, due to his past, Zurich never ever wants to use this ability though it's just his nature to turn more lustful in this state. He craves for physical touches, praises and at the same time, trying to fight his urges with his mind in order to stay away from others as much as possible. His veela form doesn't act out of character...much. It's true that he will probably turn into a 'whore', his personality doesn't change that much, aside from the fact that he will be more cheerful and lustful...he's still very offended if someone mistakes him for a girl, he still loves cooking and he still loves spending time alone or watching and protecting his family from a safe distance.
Personality: "Why do you want to know so much about me?...I don't want you to know about me...you might hurt me...who knows...you might betray me...g-get away from me..."
First of all, Zurich isn't a cheerful boy...maybe he used to be cheerful...but not anymore...He's quiet and dark, always prefers to stand in a corner and listens to others, rarely offers his opinions to anyone even if they ask him directly. He doesn't like to make friends and is always afraid that he will be betrayed by the ones he calls friends. He hates having human contacts and he's not even comfortable when others hug him let alone he makes some kinds of contacts by himself. Zurich, however, is a very good listener which is mainly because he's so quiet that people can go and talk about stuffs to him without needing to fear he will go and tell someone else. He lurks in a corner, appears when you don't expect him and when you need someone to talk to...although it will be the day when hell freezes over that he admits he cares for other orphans...
Another special trait of Zurich is that...despite his dark and quiet nature, Zurich is...dreamy. He dreams of becoming a writer and writes his own book...He loves writing and it is one of the thing that can calm him down when he's having a panic attack. He has a very large...imagination and likes to let his imagination run wild...and so, Zurich is a very good...if not excellent storyteller...of course, he never wants to use this ability in front of the others in fear that they might laugh at him or do something worse to him but to little children, children that are younger than 7, he's very opened and he can tell them all sorts of stories he thinks of. He believes children are innocent and therefore, he treats them with such gentleness that he won't show toward others that are older than 10 even if someone forces him to do it.
To the others beside the young children, Zurich is slightly sarcastic and bitter, having to grow up too fast tends to do that to people...he's envy with everyone who has managed to find their love and fulfilled their dreams and he gets slightly snappish if one pushes him too far. However, most of the time, Zurich will just be the standard loner, quiet, observant and dark...This is mainly because he fears that getting closed to others will hurt him in the end and he's shy...but mostly, he just...doesn't know how to act when he's near the others.
So...is Zurich kind then? He must be cruel, right? No, you are incorrect...Cruel is never his nature...in fact, Zurich, the boy that's forced to grow up too soon and seen the dark side of the world too early, has never lost his kindness...it's just hidden far away...in the bottom of his heart...It is not for show and he doesn't show the kindness to anyone else and so, everyone believes he's a bastard. He helps people in secret...often claims that if one helps people and let them know...it isn't called helping...it's called giving debts...and he hates debts. He secretly helps people in the dark, never once tells them that it is he who does that...I guess, Zurich just loves the light that shines on a person's face when they are helped...
Fears: "Huh? My fears?"
-Unannounced touches: Zurich is afraid, no scratch that...he's terrified of unwanted touches...he hates and fears these touches, prefers to just turn around and run away from the person who has touched him...In other words, Zurich can't stand being touched...
-Enclosed space: Just like how Zurich is afraid of being touched, he's scared of enclosed space such as the closets or the cupboards...he never ever gets inside those places and whenever he goes in there, he finds himself hard to breath and might have a panic attack if he stays there for too long.
-His past: Zurich doesn't want anyone to know about his past...ever. Even to the other orphans, he's silent about his past, never shares it with anyone else, too afraid what they will do if they know the whole story. He becomes darker...and even more violent whenever his past is mentioned and might snap at anyone who's unlucky enough to be on his way.
-His veela self: Zurich doesn't exactly fear his counterpart...well, maybe he does slightly...okay, fine...he's afraid of his other self because...he doesn't understand 'him'. While Zurich himself will probably run away as fast as he can when someone tries to touch him, his other self craves for it, lives for the touches...lives for the praises. It makes Zurich horrified...how can he be such a whore? How can he love 'those kinds of touches'?
Dreams:"My dreams?...I dream of..."
-Becoming the world's greatest writer: Despite the fact that he's quite cold and distance, Zurich always dreams of becoming a famous writer. He thinks that writing is a great way to reduce stress and he loves writing because it gives him freedom.
-Finding true love: "Yeah...finding true love...I know it sounds clichƩ...but believe me...that's my dream...I wish to find love in someone who can understand me and be there for me when I need...It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy...I'll still be happy..."
History: "...there is no need for you to know about my past..."
It doesn't need to take a genius to figure out what kinds of past Zurich has bases on his reactions to human contacts and his reluctance to become attached to another being. He was sexually and physically abused in the past...His past was not a happy story...at least, his past was not a happy story until his Mother died. Zurich was born on a cold winter night in a poor village near the city...His parents were both very poor and couldn't afford to go to the hospital and therefore, because of the poor conditions...Zurich had almost died...luckily, like a miracle, the boy survived...to the joy of the newly wed couple. He grew up in the love of his parents and was a very loving boy, cheerful and kind to anyone. He took after his Mother in appearance and he let his hair grow long. He didn't mind being mistaken for a girl and could wave it off and laugh as if nothing had happened. He always knew he looked kinda...girly anyway...so why bothered? It was a very happy life...every morning, his Mother and Father would go to the farm while leaving little Zurich at home to do his homework or playing with his friends...
However, no happiness lasted forever...his happiness was shattered at the age of 6...In that cruel winter, his Mother, who already had a very bad health, succumbed to a deadly illness, leaving his Father and him...Never had Zurich cried so hard before...he had utterly heartbroken...His perfect little world had disappeared in one night...After that, life could never be the same again. His Father began to notice that he looked a lot like his Mother...It started with touching weird places...to hugging...to other things...The young boy Zurich, even if he was just 6, had realized something was wrong with his Father but before he knew it, he had been...raped...by the monster with his Father's face...It happened for years...and Zurich couldn't tell anyone, couldn't even contact anyone...his heaven became his living hell as everyday the same thing would happen again and again...He would either be beaten...or raped...depended on his Father's mood...His personality changed dramatically...from a cheerful boy to a dark child that was forced to grow up too soon...His living hell ended when he was 10...the monster had been killed....by its own mistake. Zurich's Father was killed in an accident...he fell into the river and was never seen again. What about little Zurich? Well, obviously, Zurich had to go to an orphanage...and now, suddenly, Zurich was adopted by a man named Brittle...it left Zurich with many, many doubts...would history repeat itself? or would Zurich have the happiness he surely deserves? And so...his journey begins...
