Name: Zo.
Nicknames: One of the pack-mates decided to call him Zoe at one point. He didn’t take it too well.
Race: Pureborn werewolf.
Occupation: Beta male. Beyond that, he owns a small knife/sword shop.
Gender: Male.
Skin Color: Caucasian.
Age: Although he looks like he’s in his forties, he’s in actuality 824.
Clothing: Zo’s clothing is generally as-it-comes, although if he ever has a particular theme, it’s more similar to that of a ‘Hells Angel’ type biker outfit, with worn denim pants and a sleeveless vest and arm braces. He has a long leather coat that drops to his calves, black in color with tassels placed over parts of the chest region of the jacket. Sometimes he can be a bit more casual in his attire, with long sleeved shirts and cargo pants, or a simple t-shirt, but for the most part he prefers the biker attire. Sometimes he can be seen with a bandana wrapped around his head to keep his hair from getting in his eyes, but this isn’t very common.
Height: 6’2.
Weight: 192 lbs.
Tattoos: None. Doesn’t see any point in them.
Piercing’s: Same as tattoos.
Jewelry: Same as tattoos and piercings.
Body Modifications: A series of scars strewn across his body, the most notable being one stretched from his jaw up to his temple.
Wolf Form
Zo’s Werewolf Form
Build: Muscular but athletic. Most of his power resides in his chest, back, neck, and skull, with the limbs being longer and more toned. He’s capable of bipedal and quadruped transportation, with a somewhat long tail to aid in balance. Has a large and broad lupine head with a long snout packed with not-so long fangs, but still sharp and deadly nonetheless.
Height: 9’5 bipedal, 4’11 quadruped.
Weight: 389 lbs.
Hair: A white/gray that only sprouts over certain parts of his body, mainly around the head and down the back, over the arms, all over the tail, and down the legs partially. He has a beard of sorts hanging at the bottom of his chin that’s darker than the rest of his fur.
Eyes: Dark gray.
Defining Marks: Dark beard.
Pack
Pack: Rayne’s.
Position: Beta male.
Territory: Roughly half of Los Angeles.
Hair
Length: Down past his shoulders except for the bangs which only go half an inch down his brow.
Style: Marginally controlled, but for the most part it’s as-it-comes, and can be rather feral because of that.
Color: A ‘dirty’ brown.
Facial Hair
Length: Kept thick, but not overly so.
Style: A mixture between a goatee and a chin-strap.
Eyes
Color: Blue.
Oddities: Any intense or sudden change in emotion can result in his eyes flashing or flooding out into the color of the wolf’s eyes.
Personality: Zo has been the Beta since Mackenzie was Alpha, and it shows when he’s leading when the Alphas are unable to – which isn’t very often. Not overly talkative, he’s still an intelligent werewolf who has learned how to change with the times but still retain who he is. A very quiet, observing, but ultimately when it comes down to it, very brutal individual. While not overly violent, he will viciously defend the pack when it comes down to it, especially if it deals with vampires, although with those he seems to enjoy killing them a little too much. No one’s sure why that is, but given he’s never let anyone that close to know much about him, it’s understandable. He tries to not let that get in the way of his judgment. The past is the past, and he keeps it at that. This doesn’t mean he’s cold or a shut-in, however. He can be fairly open with the pack, but only certain members, such as Mackenzie, the Alphas, sometimes Grenier – he’s one of the few who will actually talk to him – and Spence.
When it comes to Rayne and Dante, he’s loyal to them, more Rayne than Dante, given the circumstances of how Dante joined the pack and ended up as Alpha male. He never had a problem with Mackenzie being Alpha, and seeing the results of when Dante joined the pack, it’s taken a while for him to warm up to Dante. But he has, at least to some extents. He’s not overly fond of him still, but he doesn’t hold any grudges of the sort either. That’s not what the pack needs, and he’d prefer not to cause any problems because of it. Despite that, he’s still loyal to the Alphas and the rest of the pack, and will fight for them with all of his strength.
Weaknesses: In addition to the weaknesses of silver, which will burn his skin upon contact and kill him if it has severe contact with his organs, he’s loyal to the pack, and the protective and sometimes violent nature he has when they’re in danger could cause problems. Also, the slight wary attitude he feels towards Dante given how he met him, while not exactly a weakness, if pushed in the wrong direction, could result in his judgment failing him in a very bad way.
Abilities: With his age and pureborn lycanthropy, Zo is rather powerful. He has complete control over the wolf, and has even learned to change singular parts of his body while the rest remains human, in addition to all the natural perks that their kind has. In addition, he’s a good leader when the Alphas are unable to, and a more than capable fighter in most fields, particularly with blades or the fangs and claws of his wolf form. He can speak French pretty well also, and can drive a motorcycle with incredible ease, even in offensive driving.
Weapons: Several, but not near as many as some of the pack have. The standouts are two revolvers, a shotgun, and a pair of Kukri machetes.
Revolvers
Shotgun
Kukri Blades
Prized Possessions: Besides the safety of the pack, his motorcycle, which he has had for several years now.
Zo’s Motorcycle
Home(s): The Four Seasons, with the rest of the pack.
History: Not much about Zo’s past is well known, mainly due to the fact that he’s rarely in the mood for sharing facts about his history. He was born in a small pack in Ireland; a pack that followed very strict rules that eventually drove several off, including Zo, but he was one of the last to leave. The reason was because of one of the laws of mating that this pack had, an idea that Zo could never understand, given that since then he had never encountered another pack that had this sort of rules, so he assumed something was mentally wrong with the Alpha male. The single male and females who wished to mate had to contend with all the single ones in combat. Supposedly it was more ‘binding’ and meaningful, but he never understood it, and now in the modern day, he doesn’t hate it any less. If one male or female had no interest in mating with them, then they could just allow themselves to lose.
However, if the male or female lost one of the fights, they couldn’t do it again for another year. But if the one they lost to fought against the significant other and won, then they could claim him or her. Unfortunately, one of the males Zo had to fight was the Beta of that pack, and he ended up losing. To add insult to injury, the Beta fought the female, Arianne, and ended up winning and claiming her as his prize. She refused him though, which went against the pack ‘laws’, and thus was killed because of it.
Zo reacted like any normal person would. He went ballistic on the Beta and slaughtered him without any form of mercy and crippled the Alpha male before running off. He wandered by himself for several decades before eventually joining up with the pack that would eventually be led by Rayne. Although still not entirely open, he’s grown a bit more relaxed over the centuries, finally recovering – for the most part anyway – from the incident in the early stages of his life.
