Zephyr O'Houlihan

"Hear that? That's the sound of nobody giving a crap."

0 · 163 views · located in Terreth

a character in “Aboard The Phoenix: Revival”, originally authored by SavvylikeaPirate, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Name: Zephyr O'Houlihan
Gender: Female, asexual (at least as far as she can tell)
Role: Navigator and Scout
Nickname: Zeph, Fluffy, Featherhead, Angel
Race: Anemoi, but she's just a fledgeling and hasn't mastered the whole wind-manipulation bit yet.
Age: 19
Skills: Navigation, Some Forms of combat, Mild Air manipulation abilities
Appearance: Image
Zeph never really knew what she was supposed to look like after puberty, so she doesn't bemoan the lack of curves or anything. Her hair is ashy blonde, and her eyes are a pleasant hazel. She's tan enough and has a sort of wirey muscle tone. Her sense of style is so garish that people wonder if she's color blind. Her wings are dappled shades of brown, with cream and dark streaks underneath.

Bio: The thing about Anemoi is that they don't really do personal attachment. They are the very personification of the wind itself, and so naturally aren't very inclined to being tied down to things. Zeph never knew her parents, and was raised in a mountaintop monastery. She never really saw other children, and only recently decided to fly the nest and see what the rest of the world has to offer.
Personality: Because of her sheltered upbringing, Zephyr is more than a little on the naive side. She's tactless, rude, and appears selfish because of her apathy. In reality, she just wants everyone to get along and doesn't understand why there is so much conflict between people. Her nature craves freedom, but Zeph doesn't exactly know what that is yet. Her detached nature can allow her to disassociate herself from her actions as a coping mechanism. This means that she can survive being put through the worst things, but also that she is capable of doing those same things with no remorse. On some level she wants to understand what it means to be human, so that she could also understand what makes her different. She has no solid goals in life, but that's really just fine with her.
Weapons: She's great with a pistol, but prefers using a double-tipped spear like a staff. She can also throw javelins like a beast.
Other: She grew up vegetarian, and is now an insatiable carnivore. And she actually is color blind.

So begins...

It took a little while before Zephyr realized that her childhood may have been more than just the tiniest bit on the sheltered side. And by a little while, she means the first time someone shoved her out on her ass for not having enough money to pay for lodging. Growing up in a monastery meant that she didn't exactly have a ton of exposure to commerce, and had no idea how much worth was associated with the shiny round things in the bag Father Barret gave her.

She also had no idea that Anemoi were rare. True, she was the only one she ever saw as a child with wings, but the list of people she did see all lived together. It was beyond strange and a bit disconcerting when strange children would rudely pluck a feather a run off, waving their pretty brown prize as they went. The one time she chased one of the little buggers down, the beast's mother showed up and ran her off with a bellow and a swipe of a broomstick. Since then Zeph made a point of avoiding children at all cost.

But back to her money problems. That is why she was here, in this gross, cramped tavern, serving drinks in a gods-forsaken dress like she was some sort of harlot. Hell, she didn't even have the right shape! Most of the customers thought she was a cross-dressing boy, and with good reason. The only reason why the owner kept her around was because she only worked for her room and board, and because she would occasionally whistle up a breeze that lifted the skirts of the bar matrons and female customers. The fact that he asked her to do that sometimes was just weird. Why would anyone want to look at butts?

But at least today she was actually working the bar instead of toddling about in between the tables, knocking things and people over with her large wings. However, working the bar lead to idleness on her part, and she absently traced an elaborate compass rose on the surface of the countertop. A fight broke out between two men at a table and she just looked on apathetically and sighed.

"Ugh. So. Bored."

She needed a way to get out of here.
