'Special' Genetics (Any oddities, powers, etc.): He can hover lightly off the ground. Of course, his oddity is also coupled with a delightfully wonderful illness. Zan has a lame leg. The left one, to be precise. After the nuclear war in which he gained such wonderful ability as hovering for a few moments at a time, he was also subject to a severe illness that not only wreaked havoc with his mind and his respiration system, but his muscular system too. It twisted Muscles out of shape, but most could be put right. Apart from the Achilles tendon of his left leg, which had pulled itself into two different pieces and refused to be put back together.
Skills: Zan is a people person. He can easily engage anyone in conversation, but slippery as a snake he can avoid spilling any information about himself. He has a wonderful amount of focus, and can doggedly concentrate on what he is doing for the longest of times. His self discipline and motivation are rather lacking, however. But only when he doesn’t feel like chasing a subject. Sometimes he can be a bit much though with his strong effort to get exactly what he wants.
Academic Record: When he was in school he had average to high grades. As and Bs. School was something he worked at.
Describe Yourself in this Portion:
Appearance wise he is with a dark sweep of hair that he leaves shaggy for reasons kept for himself. He has dark hazel eyes and a slender inquisitive face. He is rather pale, but not in a doughy way. He verges on a more purple tone than a white on some occasions. Sunlight is not one if his good friends. A smile usually graces his face, teasing or otherwise, and is a constant feature.
Personality wise Zan is a friendly man who gains great amusement from teasing others. He isn’t very bitter about his partial loss of mobility, and will often make self depreciating jokes about it to get another’s mood up. He is a tad scattered and disorganized, but it is an organized chaos. In a way. Or so he says. His mind has a sieve-like tendency, which includes forgetfulness and also much walking to a place then forgetting what he was there for, unless he was focused hard on it.
Anger is something that, when experienced with, is taken care of with in such a matter that one can barely tell that Zan is angry. He is pretty laid back, and doesn’t hold grudges about anything. Other than liars. He absolutely abhors those who blatantly lie on a regular basis. And he is cool with being a hypocrite. He understands that life is messed up and tries his best to take it in stride, so to speak, and help others along.
Family Life: Zander came from an easy family. A let and let live family. He floated through school until his sophomore year of high school, doing well because he was a charmer and an intelligent young man. And then he realized a couple things about himself that changed him. For the better of the worse he won’t say to any but a few. His parents were okay with who Zander decided to be, and they let him continue to live his life. Life, however, had other plans. Good think Zan is a slippery snake. He doesn’t talk much to family anymore, his parents or his little sister by four years. Mostly because of apathy and forgetfulness. He still loves them though. He just isn’t very good at remembering things.
Normal Attire: Probably a dark jacket, whether formal or informal, coupled with a light shirt and jeans or khakis depending on what his intent is. He has little interest on what he wears, apart from a specific purpose if he has one in mind. he totes around a cane, but not just any cane. It is his pimp cane. As he has so creatively dubbed it.
School Attire: Always a tad rumpled. Sometimes on purpose sometimes not. He likes wearing collared shirts with ties. Ties are an article of clothing that are great fun to buy. No, really. Zan loves ties. Depending on whether he is just strolling around campus or speaking to a student, he wears a formal dark jacket. He still carries around his cane, which he uses for very expressive gesturing.
