appearance overview:

Although he's too modest to admit it himself, Zacharias is a very charming boy. He's got his own look, which happens to be a look that many girls fancy. Let's start with his most defined feature, his face, shall we? Zacharias has an odd shade of eyes. His eyes are a hazy green color, which can sometimes look like the birthstone, Peridot. They are usually a hazy green, and sometimes greyish green. The shade changes depending on Zacharias' surroundings. In the sunlight, they're a bright peridot green, they have a little blue in them too, at times. On a rainy day, they're more likely to be a greyish green color, maybe even stoney, even though that's not a word. His eyes can seem very mysterious. He isn't the most open guy, and his eyes make you want to know what he's hiding behind them. To accent those mysterious eyes, Zacharias has a most charming smile, though he doesn't let it show all that much. He smirks so much he's had the expression patented. He'll give you a smirk no matter what, unless you embarass him, or say something really funny, then he'll give you a big grin. He has sharp canine's, and generally straight adult teeth. Shaping around his charming looks, is a defined chin and jawline, his whole face having a chiseled look. Actually, his whole body has that chiseled look. He is a thin boy, standing at 6'2'' and weighing 160lbs, but has a toned frame, no stranger to playing quidditch and swimming in the lake. His style consists of very casual clothes. His style depends on his mood. If he's feeling particularly good, he'll wear some nice jeans, a designer t-shirt, and maybe a blazer over it. On a normal day, he'll wear his faded jeans and a white button-up shirt, with his tie, pretty much his school uniform. If he's having a terrible day, he'll just wear jeans and a t-shirt, nothing fancy. Most of the time, he has normal days, so don't expect him to look like a male model all the time.

personality overview:

He's quite a funny guy. It's very dry humor, though. Picture Bea Arthur (r.i.p., bea) in a teenage male form. He's like that. He delivers the most sarcastic, yet painfully serious, comment with perfect timing, whether you want to hear it or not. He doesn't really mean to be funny, actually, his sarcasm comes naturally and most times, it cracks people up. For instance, one time this girl who completely annoyed Zacharias, came up to him and told him all about her sexual escapade the night before. Well, just imagine how much Zacharias cared. "It was a feeling as if I was a virgin", she told him. Zacharias had rolled his eyes, drawing a comic strip. He could resist saying something sarcastic, but he had a totally serious look on his face. Then, he told her "you mean, the feeling didn't last long..." The girl had been surprised at him, and asked if he was accusing her of losing her virginity at an early age. Then, he told her "i'm just saying that you're lucky that jack and jill magazine didn't have a gossip column" Of course, he was implying that she lost her virginity while she was still quite a toddler. This shocked her, but she pushed it away, but that would never work. She then told him she thought they were meant to be together. Annoyed completely with her now, he decided that he needed to get her to leave as soon as possible. So, in reply, he told her "I wish I could say the same for your thighs" This made the girls eyes totally bug out. She told him that she simply would not stand for that! One last comment would do it, Zacharias knew it. So, he replied "but I bet you'll lay down for it". The girl screamed and ran off back into the high school. Yes, he was quite a pistol, and is to this day. He can seem kind of bitter at times in his humor, but that's just Zachy. He was determined to get that girl to buzz off, and it's that determination that sets him apart from everyone else. He's a very determined soul, in both will and mental determination. You could say he has a laser beam mental focus. When he focuses on one thing, he sticks to it until he's accomplished whatever it is he's hoping to accomplish. He'll do anything he can to get what he's after, and sometimes that means hurting the people you love, but he believes it's a sacrifice you have to make sometimes. Zacharias is incredibly serious at times, and painfully truthful. Don't ask Zacharias if you don't want to know the unvarnished truth. There's no sugar-coating whatsoever here, even if the truth is not pretty. He can sometimes be very critical, and it hurts people at times, and then he has to muster up an apology. He doesn't mean to do it, that's just his nature. However, by the same token, when Zacharias gives you a compliment, it's not as a condescending gesture, but rather a straight-out, honest assessment that you can indeed be proud of.

Scorpio's are arguably the most straight-shooting direct of all the zodiacs, and being a Scorpio himself, Zacharias is a very direct and blunt person. He may keep his emotions inside most of the time, but if he doesn't like something about you, or if you're annoying him to no end, he'll tell you straight forward. You can either hate that or love that about him. If he's saying it to you, most likely, you wont like it. But, imagine if your enemy irritating Zacharias, and told your enemy exactly what he thought of him. You'd love it, wouldn't you? Directness is just that kind of trait. You love him or you hate him. Zacharias is very intense in that way, and in a way that you'd only get to see if you were alone with him, if you catch my drift. Yeah, I knew you were fantasizing. Which brings me to his next trait. Zacharias can be very arrogant and sure of himself. He loves to get under peoples skin, especially if he isn't fond of the person. Say there's a girl that finds him completely annoying, and it probably will happen, she may be rolling her eyes at him, or giving him a dirty look. Since he's so smug, he'd just look at her and make kissy lips at her, and probably throw in a wink, grin, then walk away. That's just how he is. Again, love him or hate him. He may be kind of smug sometimes, but he is very intuitive. Both book-wise and common sense wise. Even though he's rough around the edges, Zacharias has an impressive body of knowledge. He blames his adoptive parents. His mother used to read him the dictionary and would make him do jumbo crossword puzzles with her. Even though he got into trouble a lot as a child and teenager, Zacharias was incredibly bright, and was no idiot when it came to relationships and life. He knew how to get what he wanted, and he often used his looks or a bit of manipulation. He was good at it. These days, he doesn't really have the will to manipulate anyone. Zacharias can be very complex and difficult. He keeps everything in, and some days he' can be the most quiet person around and then the next day he can be the most hyper thing you've ever seen. That happened back in school when he was in drama. He used to sing and act in plays all the time. He was quiet off stage, but when he was on stage, he was lively and outgoing, and could deliver a punchline or a high note with ease.

Although Zacharias generally performs well in social and work situations, he is most comfortable either alone or with the small circle of family and friends he is closest to. Zacharias is fiercely self-reliant and will almost never seek out the advice of others, preferring to look to himself for his answers. He doesn't ask for help because he doesn't like the feeling of being in debt to someone. Like many Scorpio's, Zacharias has penetrating eyes. He can make anyone tell the truth with them. They are a penetrating icy blue, and nobody ever knows what's behind those icy orbs. f you have found a romantic partner in Zach, you have a fiercely private, deeply feeling partner indeed. You may have to get used to the fact that you will never know everything about him, but rest assured that if he feels a strong connection to you, he will let you know what you need to know. Indeed, if he didn't feel a strong connection to you, you wouldn't even be around! Zacharias is very loyal and expects the same from you. He is a highly intuitive individual, and will likely instinctively know what you need and want - a very good trait to have in a partner. However, his intuition will also pick up on imperfections in the relationship, so don't be surprised if he zeros in and starts asking probing questions if you are trying to hide something from him. You'd better be very careful if you plan to surprise him with a birthday party, eh? So, let's get to the most dominating trait within Zacharias' eyes. His temper. Man, does he have a temper. It can be quite a horrible temper. He can, a lot of the time, keep his anger inside, but a lot of the time he just cant. When he's severely angry, his eyes start to water and turn emerald.

everyone's scared somebody knows
WE HOLD IT INSIDE, YEAH, THAT'S HOW IT GOES

history:
Picture it. November 11th, seventeen years ago. A blond-haired woman lay in a hospital bed, cradling a rather cute baby boy with hazy green eyes, like no other. That baby had just been delievered nearly a half hour ago. It took sixteen hours, but he'd finally come, even though he came a few weeks earlier than expected. The blond haired woman was Aislyn Lyra Westishire, a nineteen year old english girl who'd recently graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A man stood beside the woman, stroking the head of his baby affectionately. That man was Alexandre Zacharias Winchester, a twenty-one year old french man with dark brown hair and eyes greener than the grass swaying outside. The couple had been going out since their fourth year of magical school, when Alexandre transferred from Beauxbatons, to Hogwarts, and had just had a little bundle of joy, but they weren't as happy as they should have been, and there was a good reason. But first things first, how they met. Well, the location is London, England. A fifteen year old french boy named Alexandre, grabbed a plane, on his way to London, England. He had to get a place to live with his family, for he would be going to Hogwarts. That's where he would meet Aislyn Lyra Westishire, a fourteen year old blond girl. They started talking and hanging out, and gradually, the rest became history. It was a classic love at first sight story. After school, they immediately got a flat in London together. A couple months afterwards, Aislyn announced that she was pregnant. Together, they decided they couldn't have a baby, but they didn't believe in abortion. So, they had the baby, and named him Zacharias James Winchester. With heavy hearts, the couple eventually dropped Zacharias off at St. Mary's orphanage in London, England, where he'd spend the next 13 years.

Life at St. Mary's wasn't the best, but it really wasn't all that bad, like some orphanage's are made out to be. St. Mary's was a catholic oriented orphange, having mothers and preachers, all of it. They attended mass on Sundays, the whole nine yards. That's also where he went to school, the orphanage also serving as an all-boys catholic school. From the time he was able to understand, he'd been taught a firm belief in God. But, there were many things he doubted about it, but we won't get into that. He went to school like a normal student, and faced the same experiences as everyone else. Life there was pretty uneventful, other than the rumors that the dean had sexual accusations against him. His life didn't really change until he turned twelve. That's when he started to smoke. It was something the catholic school/orphanage really didn't like, but they couldn't stop him. They tried, believe me. They took his cigarettes away, but he always got them one way or another. Thankful that he wasn't a druggie, at least, they let him do it, as long as it was outside and away from the orphanage. So, you can see that his life was pretty boring at that point. He lived his life, day to day, with his friends and going to school and mass. His life took a big spin when he recieved word that potention adoptive parents were coming on a Saturday Morning. All the boys got cleaned up and presentable, in hopes they'd be adopted. Zacharias hated that part of being an orphan. You had to totally change yourself to get some couple to like you, so they could adopt you. Zach wouldn't do it. When that couple came into the main hall of the orphanage, all the boys stood in a line, including Zacharias. The other boys did as they were told, standing up straight, hands at their sides, posture perfect. Zacharias stood as he always did, pretty straight, but not completely, his arms crossed, his left eyebrow raised, as if to say, let's just get this over with. After examining all the boys, The Wickham finally came to Zephyr, and they liked his attitude, and saw great potential in him after seeing his academic file. Even though he was sarcastic and smoked, he was a vastly intelligent boy. So, they signed the papers and Zacharias was adopted as a la Barre at the age of thirteen. Just in time, too, for at age thirteen, a male really needed a father figure.

The Wickham Family was the best thing to ever happen to Zacharias. He grew to hold them dear, and was all the more excited when he was included in on their activites, especially during parties that they hosted in their big mansion. Things only seemed to get better and better, and the boys luck didn't change. He'd found out that his mother and father both had magical blood within them, and it was passed down to him. Zacharias was a full blooded wizard, and was very excited to hear about it. He was informed all about Hogwarts by the Wickhams. The Orphanage thought the wizarding letters he'd gotten at age eleven were a joke, so they tore them to shreds. He was mad at them for a while, but quickly got over it. His family had all give him gifts, and then took him to Diagon Alley to get his supplies, and then to Kings Cross Station. With a farewell hug, Zacharias got on the train to start his Hogwarts experience. He came back every summer after that, too. He's went through five years of school already, excelling in charms and defense against the dark arts. He recieves nothing but the best grades, and it's expected of him. You may wonder how he's seventeen and only in his sixth year--well easy, he took test to advanced. This magic thing comes first nature to him. His family always believed in giving and receiving nothing but the best. He was incredibly talented and smart when it came to magic, and easily obtained grades. He is currently in his sixth year at Hogwarts, and both he and his family are excited to see what this year will bring.

roleplay sample:

this is a post as a vampire:

"OKAY! OKAY! I GIVE UP! HOLDEN IS THE SMEXIEST VAMPIRE EVER!", a scratchy male voice called out, the scratchiness due to the arm that was constricting his throat. Zephyr groaned as Holden finally let go. Yet again, they'd gotten into a playful quarrel. That was just one of the perks of being a sournois boy. You got to act totally senseless and get away with it. Usually it was Charlton and Nathaniel doing this to him, usually Nathaniel. He swore the boy screwed him in his sleep. He was always telling girls that Zephyr belonged to him. Zephyr rolled his eyes at the thought, and at Holden as he finally let go. Zephyr stood upright, dusting off his clothes. That stupid vampire got dirt all over him. Zephyr pushed holden, watching him fall over his bed, chuckling out loud, like a mad scientist. The vampire sat down on his bed, staring at his siemese cat, who was just staring at Zephyr with it's trancing blue eyes. Zephyr ran his fingers through the cat's fur, looking it square in the eyes. "Go play.", Zephyr said in a firm voice, smirking as the cat pounced on Holden's kitty. Zephyr chuckled and got off his bed, feeling the need to get out of this cramped up dormitory. "Later, Holden.", Zephyr called out as he slipped on his shoes, walking out the door.

The halls were crowded, as usual. They were all going from classes, to their next period, but thankfully, Zephyr had no classes today, and even if he did, he wasn't going. He really didn't feel like it. The vampire walked the halls, wondering what the hell he should be doing. That's when it came to him. The mirror! Of course, he was thinking of the Mirror of Erised, or as he and his friend Caelen called it, the Mirror of Despair. It really did more harm than good, yet Maxime kept it in this palace they called a school. Zephyr heaved a sigh as he walked towards the stairs. The last time he visited that mirror, he'd ended up yelling at it and shedding exactly two tears. He seen his birth parents in the mirror, and they'd abandoned him when he was still a baby. They dropped him off at an orphanage, where he lived for much of his life. It wasn't too good, until he met Bella, his first love. Everything got better when he was with her, but now he didn't have her. Zephyr turned the corner, now on the floor where the mirror was supposed to be located. That thing was hard to find. He wondered if it'd show his parents.

Zephyr walked down the hall, his lips pushed out, a careless look on his face as he walked the hall. Within minutes, a large wooden door came into view, many engravings in the wood. They really made a room fancy, for just holding a tall mirror. It was a mirror that caused pain, so maybe they figured they should pretty the room up. That was just Zephyr's guess. The vampire crept toward the door, twisting the doorknob slowly. When the door opened, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. There was a girl in front of the mirror, and she looked just like Bella! Zephyr blinked slowly, noticing that he was staring. He closed his mouth again and snapped out of his trance with a blink of an eye and the shake of his head. Zephyr walked forth, looking at her. "So, you came to look at the mirror of despair too, have you?", Zephyr asked her, still marveling at her beauty. She looked like a clone of Anabella. He pushed that thought aside, crossing his arms as he waited for a reply.
