Age: 17
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Light Blue
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 132 lbs
Occupation: Assassin
Personality:
Zarkin is a very quiet man. He mostly stays to the shadows and avoids most human contact. He is generally in a happy mood, but there are times when Zarkin can lose his temper. Zarkin will only speak when asked to, and will make small talk on occasion due to what is happening. Most people view him as an easy target but there is more than meets the eye to this man. If he is ever angered he will warn you in advance not to push it or he will attack. He has been known to throw objects across rooms, pound someone to a pulp, and he gets a kick out of it sometimes.
Zarkin does like to hurt people but his job doesn't care what he thinks. He does it just to get his pay. As long as Zarkin is making money he is happy. He isn't too kind to drunks, thieves, or his targets. The reason for this relates back to his parents and schoolmates. Since he was such an easy target then he was bullied, abused by his parents, and forced to work. He never had much love given to him, hence why he took up his job.
Appearance:
Zarkin wears a black wool cloak, the hood of the cloak gently lies over his face, casting a small shadow no matter where he is so that you cannot see his face. He only wears this during his assassinations. But when he isn't working he is wearing a wool shirt that is a little bit too big to hide his muscles. He wears denim pants that have holes in them. But when he is working he wears black wool pants, along with a black wool shirt. Along with his normal day attire he wears brown leather boots, and on the job he wears his black leather boots which to him are lightweight and silent.
To the normal person Zarkin looks like an average man, unless that person is one of his prey. Then he looks like a dark figure protruding through the mist like death coming to claim a soul. Zarkin looks like an easy person to take down when he is dressed in his normal clothes. People never suspect that he is an assassin, he is very stealthy and knows how to fight.
History:
Zarkin was born into a home where his parents and siblings did not like him. As a typical sibling rivalry went the parents did nothing to stop the siblings from beating on Zarkin, always bruising him, and attempting to kill him. But he also couldn't go to the parents for help. They were hoping for another girl, but got Zarkin instead. So they decided to neglect and abuse him for entering the world different from what they had wanted. Ever since then Zarkin has been telling himself that it was his fault for being born into a terrible household.
Ever since Zarkin's seventh birthday he was deemed un-muscular and was told that he would never get bigger than the bones from the meat of which the family ate. Most of this may have been that Zarkin was never fed properly, always looking for the scraps he could find people in town thought he was a homeless child. He felt that this is how the rest of his life would be, leading to malnutrition and soon death.
Since Zarkin didn't have the muscle mass or anything he was an easy target at home, and at school. The school children he was with were getting overweight, greedy, and mean as ever. They tormented Zarkin for being nothing but skin and bones. They too would beat the snot out of Zarkin, mostly because he didn't fit in with them. This tormented lasted all throughout Zarkin's schooling years before he finally decided not to go to school anymore. He would walk out the door of his house and as soon as the house was far enough to where he couldn't see it he would go into the woods by the schoolyard where he would climb into the trees and hide all day long.
Zarkin loved being in the trees where he was alone. Looking over his scars and bruises one day he decided that he would leave home, never to return. That day Zarkin didn't go home, he wandered off into a village far off to the north of where he lived. He stayed on the streets begging for food, or money to get food. He rarely got anything and started getting skinnier, losing more weight, and death would soon claim his soul. Until the day of his eighth birthday when Zarkin lay on the streets, death approaching, 65 pounds and barely able to speak a woman came along and helped Zarkin into her house.
There she treated him as her own son, for she had no children. And after many attempts she gave up and decided to roam around, there she found Zarkin and took him in. She fed him well, and cared for him. Then she just got angry one day and lashed out at Zarkin.
"Leave this place at once! You filthy little...." Zarkin didn't hear the rest for he was already out the door and running back to the school house.
As much as he didn't want to go back home, he did. But once he got there the family had been murdered. Bodies of his family members sprawled out across the floor, blood everywhere, Zarkin's face turned into a wicked smile. He knew he should feel sad, but he hated this family. And he stood in the middle of the room looking at the tragedy laughing, happy that his troubles were over. He fell asleep in the middle of the floor around the dead bodies.
The next day Zarkin knew what to do, he packed multiple bags of valuable items, such as money, food, and a small pocket knife that belonged to his brother. He didn't need shoes for the bottoms of his feet were toughened from climbing the trees and always running around barefoot. That day he set out back to the school house trees where he later built a small tree house in the trees that no one could see. Living up there for five years, thirteen years old, Zarkin was happy. Until one day an assassin found his little hideout and took him back to his headquarters and Zarkin was thrown into recruitment as an assassin.
First he was trained to be a thief. Learning how to be stealthy Zarkin had grown accustomed to not caring about what he did. Turning seventeen after years of training Zarkin was sent to do his first assassination. It was a man that had been stealing gold and other profit from the blacksmiths in the town. The village blacksmith was a great friend to the master assassin, Zarkin's boss/trainer, and had sent Zarkin out to kill him. The job was easy, the target put out a good fight, but Zarkin took his win and recieved his payment.
Now Zarkin lives at the assassin's headquarters where he still trains, is now very muscular, and plans to live there for years to come. He enjoys being at the headquarters and has earned the respect from many of the other assassins which he grew up with.
Skills:
Stealth- Ever since Zarkin was trained on how to steal, stealth has been a very important skill that has been developed over lon periods of training and practice. The first time he ever tried to steal he was smacked across the face by a women with a firm hand.
Precision- Zarkin has very good aim, he prefers using throwing knives to take out his targets, but even then he does miss sometimes. Zarkin is also very useful with a bow, he has been practicing with both throwing knives and bows since he was recruited.
Abilities:
Slowed Heartbeat- Since Zarkin is an assassin he meditates to keep his heart rate and breathing shallow when he is hiding. The reason he does this is so that he can stay hidden and to prevent any stress to ruin his performances.
Activating Camouflage- Zarkin does this with a simple saying in his head to where he can blend in with anything he wishes. He does this during the winter mostly because his choice of clothing is all black, so he uses this to his advantage with the snow. This also comes in handy when he is hiding from guards so that he can sneak into places unnoticed. The Activation lasts for about ten minutes, so Zarkin has to work fast, but slow enough to be unnoticed.
Activation for enhanced hearing- This works the same way as the camouflage. Saying a simple saying in his head activates this ability so that Zarkin can hear things clearly through walls and at far distances. This only lasts for 10 minutes and Zarkin can stop it before the time frame runs out as he wishes by saying the phrase again. The reason he uses this is because he can hear twice as good as regular humans, like a dog but is a little more clearer than a dogs' sense of hearing.
Equipment:
-Five small throwing knives- Zarkin uses these to take out a target at closer ranges, also to devitalize the target. The knives are made of steel.
-Broad Bow/ 10 arrows- Using the bow for longer ranged targets Zarkin is very steady with a bow. He also uses it for hunting small and larger animals. His bow is made of yew. The shafts of the arrows are made of yew. Also the arrow heads are made of steel.
-Wool cloak (black)- Uses to hide from targets and to protect his identity.
-Leather boots (black)- Lightweight and silent
-Leather boots (brown)- Uses these for casual clothing
-Wool pants/shirt (both black)- Also for when he is hunting down a target
- Denim pants with holes- Also for Casual dressing
-White wool shirt- Also for when he isn't working
