Cocky • Troublemaker • Cowardice • Ebullient • Adaptable
[Theme Song]
Let's start first with his environment - his town. Think of a slightly older town that very religious. There is little technology, only enough to make living easier. In the center of the town is a large church that stands taller than any of the buildings. A bronze-colored cross sits on the top, overlooking the town. Right under this cross is a bell tower - that is where Zahid sleeps.
Zahid seems like your typical troublemaker. His appearance to everyone is just that he steals and vandalizes the church buildings for fun and, though it's fun to him, that's not the only reason he does it. The best way of living for him is to steal, swindle, pit-pocket, and other types of dangerous and underground businesses. In all the years he has lived this way, he has not been caught yet. As a child he got away with pretty much everything since he was the youngest child out of 4 and learned from growing up this way on ways to get away with things.
Though Zahid is cocky, he is still a coward which he will never admit. At the sign of the law enforcers he dashes, but the chase is the best part! He loves nothing more than the thrill of being chased, knowing they can't catch him, like a little game of cat and mouse. Though he runs from them, he provokes them to continue chasing him by calling out things to them that would provoke the police. When he loses them, he takes shelter in the town's bell tower. Zahid realized that they'd never find him in the one place they think he'd never go and it thrills him to know he is hiding in plain sight, insulting them further by sleeping on the bell tower.
He never really grew up, still acting like some teenage boy who enjoys picking on others to get what he wants. Because of his attitude towards people, he doesn't have many friends but the shady bunch that work underground. Zahid can come out as rude and vulgar to people and seemingly doesn't care, but the truth is he doesn't want friends who will worry about his life and try to help him.
Zahid cannot stand the town and yet he can't bring himself to leave. The vast, mysterious world out there scares him. That doesn't mean he doesn't dream of a place far from there... somewhere where he feels like he belongs.QUIRKS;
- Rubs soil on this hands before he goes out every day (soil dries his hands and helps making things less likely to slip).
- Often leaves items of less value in places he steals from, like a trade.
- He tells others that he doesn't know how most items get into his possession.
- Hates high class people.
- Steals stories and tells them as his own. Sometimes he will tell a story he stole to the person he took it from.
