Full Name: Zotar Thanos
Don't say that name, Zotar is dead.
Title(s): Lord Vinicius, in the tongue of the Inferno Vinicius means, Vengeance or One who avenges. His clansmen understand this address which brands his identity since kingship, from knowing the horror story of his past. Zotar died on the battlefield with steel in his hands, blood on his skin and fire burning in his heart. Son and father born of ashes, and at that hour, ashes they return, with Vinicius to avenge their death.
Age: 30
Age is an insufficient number when you are an immortal.
Gender: Male
Yes, I am male, but I am more than man.
Tribe: Fire
Sky above me, earth below me, fire within me.
Position in the Tribe: Leader
Of the fire clan I am lord, I am guardian, I am Vinicius.
Sexual Preference:
Heterosexual, the rumors are that Zotar is still a virgin but no one would say that in front of his face, but could he really be mad if the gossip is true. Zotar is a workaholic, he never found interest in romances nor pleasures of such, he spent most of his life at the frontline with his father. And that was one flaw Ivana, his mother, always saw in her son, that she fears he hungers for battle rather than for a woman in his life. But Zotar is waiting until he finds his soul mate, but is also concerned that he does need an heir and that his mother does desire that he has one also.
While should I toy with boyish fantasies? When I look upon a woman I see a soul not a body.
Positive Traits:
Adaptable- able to adjust to new conditions.
Affectionate- Those outside of his clan see Vinicius as a bloodthirsty madman, but that is completely the opposite to those of his clan. Vinicius bonds close to his men, he sees each and everyone of his loyal soldiers as his brothers. Vinicius's clan is his home, his family, and he will be their keeper.
Ambitious-he is intended to satisfy high aspirations and therefore difficult to achieve.
Brave/Courageous- he is not deterred by danger or pain
Emotional- he is driven by his emotions, this can be also seen as a bad trait, but it is a side of Vinicius that shows that he is human too, no matter how much he could wish he could be more.
Decisive- Vinicius shows the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively
Determined- believes absolutely nothing can stop him from meeting destiny than no other than himself
Fearless- lacks fear, which in some cases can even be since as a flaw
Patriotic- having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for his homeland
Hard-working- puts all he can ever be or ever do into his work
Humorous- strangely enough he sprinkles a little humor here and there, mostly dark humor
Independent- he does not depend on anyone else, because he believes as a leader he is the one depended on, the one who ultimately makes the choices
Loves Children- Vinicius knows back when he was not ashamed of his name Zotar, when his father was alive, he remember how each word of his fathers was like air to his lungs. Why? Because Zotar had a good father, trying to raise his boy to be a good man. And now Vinicius wants to do the same, he developed the spirit of a father from his very own.
Passionate- showing or caused by strong feelings or a strong belief.
Quick-witted, he has learned in his former training to think fast, quick because every second he waste is another second his enemies have to bring him defeat. And he will not tolerate defeat.
Tough- strong enough to withstand adverse conditions or rough or careless handling
Guess I'm not as bad as the storytellers of foreign lands make me out to be.
Negative Traits:
Aggressive- Anger and hatred paved his aggression, of course not to his people, but those who are not
Battles Grief and Depression- Since the lost of his father Zotar changed, he changed his name, his attitude, the atmosphere around him, and most importantly his heart. Zotar has become bitter, but not quite so much to his clansmen but to himself. Everyone is fully aware of the self-torment that lingers in Vinicius, he haunts himself of his father's death, telling himself that he could of somehow save him. Due to the grief and mourn, Vinicius has stopped eating and started fasting. A cause of this depression is because really anything that goes wrong in the clan, Vinicius blames himself. And currently not only has his father died, but his mother is fatally sick.
Callous- to those who are not of his people, especially the water tribe
Complusive- he commits actions without giving a second thought
Confused- Vinicius thinks he is doing right for his people yet he does not understand that he is only hurting them by risking wars. He was taught solve problems with violence. Some almost see pity in the eyes of a man cursed by many, because in the end he will be forced to see the destruction he caused to the one he so dearly loves, to his child, to the fire tribe
Deceitful- if it takes lies to protect and save his people, then so be it
Hot-headed- he bears a short temper
Harsh- he'll will push his men to their breaking point in order to strengthening them
Impatient- having or showing a tendency to be quickly irritated or provoked, especially if the situation involves the lives of his people
Pushes himself too hard- everyone in tribe knows that he strives to benefit his people in the most extreme measures. Yet he tries too hard, to even believe his every dead enemy will bring fortune to the fire tribe. This results in pointless killings of those related to the water tribe.
Stubborn- having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to
do so
Trusting- Vinicius has a bias of trusting his people over another individual that is a foreigner
Vengeful- his name even speaks of his greatest flaw. He proclaim there is nothing he would put before his people, but there is one thing, vengeance
I have said a lot about myself, but I never said I was prefect.

Markings do not define me but decorate.
Weight: 209 lbs, majority of it being muscle
But I am not the most bulky nor meaty man, thus I would not say I am the most physically strong, but fast, yes I am light on my feet.
Height: 5'5, short and average man and his enemies mock him for it
Yes, I am short, but size does not really matter when you are trifling with a fire bearer.
Brief Appearance Description: Nothing much to say other than that he looks like a sinister warrior. Though, I will add that he is of course not heavily armor, this is because he wishes to be light on his feet.
Carrying: The longer sword is titled 'Zarfu', for his father, and the other one is titled 'Valor'. Though the dagger wrapped around his boot ankle is titled 'Ivana' after his mother, anyone can truly tell how much Zotar loves his family, perhaps that is why Zarfu choice Zotar.
With my speed, my blades will sing.
Notable Skills/Abilities: Can do the basic fire powers listed for the fire tribe in the opening page of this roleplay, is able to set his weapons on fire, not immune to fire but has trained his mind to numb it out, can go without eating for a long time, cunning, and is quick. But one of his special powers is Infernius Vortex where he can create a tornado of fire whirling wherever he steers it, but depending on how big it is depends on how much strength he loses and exhaustion he gains.
He can also preform traditional fire dances and juggle.
Fire burns brightest in midst of darkness.
History:
Childhood
Zotar is the second oldest among three of his siblings, two brothers, and one sister. Zotar was indeed, like the rest of the children, treated like royalty, being that his father was the leader, the king, of the fire nation. Zotar was the most of an extrovert, the most out-going out of his brothers and sister, he was the one easiest o get along with. But Zotar's relationship with his father, Zarfu Thanos, was the strongest at all of them, though his father admitted to no favorites. As he grew older Zotar's older brother became general, however was really just happy to always be fighting alongside with his father, no matter what battle, who's lands, as long as he was with his father, that is all that mattered.
Father's Death
Fire and water will always fight, they have waged war for years and years, and since birth that has been paved into the mind of a fire-bearer. And because Zotar was always at the right hand of his father, he walked in his ways, followed him wherever his feet carried. And Zarfu was a king, yes, but he never scattered away from charging into the fields of battle with his sons, with his brothers, with his tribe. Thus, during the charge up against the water tribe, the men set up camp. And during what seemed to be any other night, the tribe was attacked and ambushed by bands of earth-bending assassins. However what they did first was trap the men by conjuring thorns from bushes to grow and mold into massive fences. And while trapped in the night, the assassins went to work. And who did they strike first? Zarfu, and Zotar watch the blow striking his father's death right before his eyes, regretting that it was too late to save him. And now the one thing Zotar hungers for is the cold meal of revenge against the earth tribe, but little does he know that the ones who attacked him was actually rogue earth warriors hired by the water tribe to bring the fireâs attention off water and onto earth. And while the fire tribe is focused on earth, they can attack and perhaps even capture the nation while they are off guard.
Tradition Broken
When Zarfu was killed someone had to take his place, originally it was suppose to his wife, Ivana, but a cruel sickness lingers on her soul, a disease that enables Ivana of enough strength to assume the position of queen. In tradition it is always the older son next in line if the current queen nor king can claim leadership, but Zarfu broke tradition. In his will he stated to follow the throne after him will be Ivana, but if she is not able to do so, Zotar will take position as the fire nation's new king. This added mountains of pressure against Zotar, he would of never expected that he become king and not his older brother. Zotar wishes that he could give the position to his brother, but then that would show Zotar's defiance and disrespect against his father if did not heed to the will. Sure Zotar was always his father's shadow, but Zarfu loved all of his children, he never admitted to favorites. So why did he choose Zotar over his brother? It was not because of skill, they both had their own talents, sure Zotar's older brother was stronger but Zotar was faster. And as for their pure technique with fire, they were equal, not one powered over the other. And now the agony of why Zotar was chosen crawls and squirms his mind in question, establishing weighs of stress on his shoulders. And Zotar fears his brother may betray him for having his throne stolen.
Mother's Disease
And in the midst of broken tradition, as said before, Ivana is gravely sick, Zotar claims that she has been poisoned but she urges her boy and scolds him not be rash. Zotar cannot imagine to lose his mother, but the physicians and healers cannot find a way, they are all frightened of what Zotar will become if he loses his mother. She is what keeps Zotar calm through the lost of his father, she seizes his temper and rages and trades them for a more peaceful spirit. Ivana even fears her son's path if she fades away, thus she has been pushing him to find a wife, a woman like her who will take care of her son, one able to lift him up when times of grief and to rebuke him when he ties himself to his blood thirsty feast of destruction. Ivana does not agree with his name Vinicius, she does not want her son to be of hate, she refuses to call him such the name. But being stubborn Zotar refuses to dispose of his vengeful heart.
The Royal Ball
So, because Ivana wishes her son to marry a good woman, she ordered her son one thing to at least commit to if he is not willing to give up his vengeance, and that is to throw a ball, welcoming all women of the tribe and nation in doing so that Zotar may find a women he trust and perhaps may even fall in love. But romance has always been something Zotar is quite awkward at, however cute. It is something Zotar does put enough attention on, in fact, he ignores it, believing he has other things to bother his mind with, but he knows his mother is right, he needs a compassionate woman, one to maybe purify his heart from the grudges he holds. But at the night of a ball, perhaps even intruders disguised as amorous women may come to steal the king's heart away, to later stab him in the back...
A Man of War
Zotar has his hands tied, the fire nation has been at war with the water nation, but now with the raiders whom killed Zarfu, earth steps in. Zotar is determined to rip earth apart, but he cannot really afford to do that right now, but so many are concerned that he will not listen to reason, even Ivana is worried. Zotar could establish peace with water and then go after earth, but he claims he rather be a fool by taking on two wars at once, than be a coward and beg for peace. Not yet has war been declared between earth and fire, but Zotar is on the very verge of doing so. Will anyone be able to sway his mind differently?
I am forged by my past.
