The Fallen Angel, Mutant - Beastly
Main
Ezekiel is a thin boy who's height totals to about five feet, eight inches tall. His hair is a lighter brown and is rather unruly, with fringe that rests above his olive colored eyes. His skin is naturally pale, but is now tanned due to working outside in the sun. While it is true that he is thin, he had managed to build some muscle, from physical labor and practicing his acts. Ezekiel's body is marked with several scars, most of them of his back from being whipped as punishment. On his face there is a small diagonal scar over his right cheek bone. Like the other mutants, his left hand is scarred from being branded with the letter 'T', to mark him belonging to the Torture Circus. Later he learns to cover up the mark with a pair of brown gloves. Coming from his back is a pair of white feathered wings. They are short, from being kept cut, and are slightly crooked from being broken on a few occasions. In addition, his calves and feet are mutated and blacked, resembling birds legs and feet opposed to being human.
He usually wears shirts made out of cheap cotton or a button up, white dress shirt with trousers. He occasionally can be seen wearing a tie. All of Ezekiel's shirts have two large holes in the back for his wings, which he can usually fit through without much of a problem. He can use long coats to cover up his wings, even if it's uncomfortable. His feet make it hard for him to wear shoes, and can make it a bit painful, but it can be possible with a larger than average pair.
{Mutation}
Aves Mutation - Beastly type. A mutation that gives him bird-like features. This includes a pair of white feathered wings, which could have a large wingspan. His calves and feet are often mutated, and are like birds legs and feet in that respect. (Something like this. But just the feet. His hands, arms, etc are human.) His retina is also thickened, like a birds, and allows his eyesight to excel in the perception of motion in detail.
{Act}
He does a tightrope act and a limited, since his wings get in the way, acrobatic act along with just sitting in a caged wagon in the freak show tent.
{Personality}
He's guarded, distant, and seems more like a loner more than anything else. The boy tends to keep to himself, although he isn't completely cold and aloof. It's harder to get him to warm up if you're a stranger to him, in fact, it's more impossible than anything. The reason being because Ezekiel doesn't trust others easily, especially those without mutations. He's a suspicious and doubtful kind of person, and it's hard to earn and keep his trust. He's the type that will question a person's motives, finding it hard to believe that someone would act truly selflessly. Along with this, Ezekiel is very resentful of people that break his trust, and isn't very forgiving. He will hold grudges for a long time, and is often too caught up in the past for his own good.
Over everything, Zeke is a realist at heart, though he has become more negative or pessimistic recently. Truthfully, he's kind of bitter, which reflects in his sarcastic type of humor. Throughout the years it became hard from him to maintain hope, with the idea of it now seeming silly to him. He no longer believes in a positive future for himself, or any other mutant. At least, not in his lifetime. As a result he can be critical of people that are hopeful towards such a thing, and often finds that it's better to stop putting energy towards what he thinks is an impossible dream.
He gets easily frustrated, annoyed and fed up, but he usually has a good handle on his anger. Ezekiel isn't the kind of person to blow up easily, and will often seek solitude to cool off instead. Although, when he does get angry, he often makes remarks that he later regrets. More importantly, he never uses violence against people unless it's in self-defense. Ezekiel is highly against violence, and doesn't enjoy using it at all, but will if he has too.
After a period of time, and from overcoming trust barriers, people have managed to become close to Zeke. He becomes more easy going around them, and can become playful and reveal a more teasing side to himself. While he's not the best advice giver, he does try his best to be considerate to the feelings of his friends. It's obvious that he cares deeply for the people he's close to, and often puts their well-being above his own. He can be quite self-sacrificial, and believes that he can handle misfortune better than others. Though honestly, he simply doesn't want to see them being hurt.

{Biography}
Ezekiel, like many of his kind, is an orphan. His mother died during conception and his father soon sold him to a the Torture Circus shortly afterwards without little thought. It wasn't until he was sold that he got his first name, in reference to the archangel of death and transformation. He was raised by members of the Circus since he was a baby, and is familiar with much of the staff as result.
This goes without saying, but Zeke lived his whole life in the circus. His wings have been kept cut since he was young, to prevent him from being able to fly. Though, Ezekiel claims that it would be impossible, and also says he prefers them cut, even if the process is often uncomfortable, because the shortened length is more convenient for him. Throughout his time there he has been a popular sight to see, tough recently he's been getting less attention in favor of other, newer acts. However, even after all this time, he still isn't fond of preforming or people crowding around him, so the loss of his audience doesn't bother him in that respect. What does worry him is how long with Circus will keep him around if his value drops enough.
He has tried running away before, and is no stranger to disobedience. This always leads him to be punished in some way, be it being given no food or something more physical. Due to the number of failed escape attempts, Ezekiel has started to lose hope in ever reaching freedom. Since he grew up in the circus, there was no opportunity to receive a formal education, though he is a bit 'street-smart', but it's nothing impressive. He can read and write well enough, thanks to the help of other members of the Circus, but he still sometimes struggles with more complicated pieces. Most of what he has learned comes from overhearing outsiders talk amongst themselves, or from a few conversations he held with them himself.
