Zecarayus H. seguro
Male | Heterosexual |
Twenty-three | Mutant |
appearance
Zecarayus stands at five foot six inches, weighing at 160 pounds. Signs of him being mutated is seen in his hands, arms and head. His arms and hands are black in color, looking as if oil covered them. The tips of his fingers are pointed and claw like, but still are the same length as normal fingernails. They are actually quite durable as they don't break even after long periods of digging, tearing, or climbing up trees(they can definitely be dulled down with excessive use).
His head is definitely changed. From above the nose the skin is the same black as his arms. His eyes show no iris nor cornea, only white that glows when light reflects off of it. He still has his hair, but it has become the same color as his altered skin. However it can be easily told apart, and his hair has a wing style on the side while having parted bangs and short length hair on the back. At the level of his nose the black mixes with the original peach color of his skin, and further down he looks almost normal. His teeth are only different, they are stronger and the canines are sharper then normal.
For the rest of his body it is the same peach color. But on the shoulders and back of the neck areas it has patches of black that could be mistaken for moles on first inspection.
His body figure is fit and lean, stretch marks on his waist show that he was not always like that. He is a hairy man, having course hair on his arms and legs(hair that grows from the black patches are that color while the normal hair color appears to be a light brown). He usually prefers to wear what is comfy; baggy shorts, pants, sneakers, boots, t-shirts, light and heavy jackets are part of what he likes to wear. Preferred colors are darker ones (grey, blue, black, green as examples).
personality
A lot of zecarayus's personality is surrounded by one common motivation, to help others for the better. This one thing explains a lot about zecarayus. This starts with his compassion, as he has this toward people, animals, and plants. Rarely would something not get compassion from him, as if he takes time to understand them he will find reason not to hate them. Hate is another thing, zecarayus prefers to stay away from it or get rid of it, believing that it only brings warped views and unneeded trouble. Another is the truth, zecarayus understands that the truth is important and usually tries to tell it in important situations and when it is asked. With this zecacrayus enjoys naturally helping others, so as long it's not clear that he wouldn't be helping them to do something wrong.
With this want to help it does has it's downsides. To begin he understands that while compassion is nice, there is a need to be strict at times too. With this, he can have moments where he acts out of the norm to a strict and even harsh tone. Another thing is because of his want for the truth, he can be unthinking in some cases. This means he can say something that may be offensive or insensitive when he never intended for it. As funny as it is, he finds it hard to be purposely offensive without having time to think it through. With helping, he also understands that he can be part of a problem or its source. This means he is willing to remove himself from it, but doing this can lead himself to doubt himself and make him sad. He would even do this regarding a loved one.
So with all this it leads to what zecarayus is. He is often a thinker and cautious, preferring to know as much as he can about a situation before getting involved. But because of this he can be seen as withdrawn and even loses the chance to act. And if he acts without thinking, it can lead to making the problem worse or embarrassing himself/others. When he does get involved though with some thought put in, he does his best to help resolve the problem in it. On first impressions though with him he comes off as polite or at least neutral, and usually won't carry too much conversation unless it is to help out. It's not exactly easy to be friends with him due to this, but once becomes a friend with him they see more of him. They can see him as more silly, doing things with the purpose of making people laugh and not try to hurt anyone. He also becomes more wanting to help his friends over strangers, usually if he has time and confidence he will try to help others around him. He can be paranoid of others, but only because he knows he can trust too easily or if a situation doesn't add up to him. But gaining his trust and for him to not be paranoid about it can lead to a very trusted friend. Due to this he also is a good teammate so as long what he is involved in is well explained. While being more of a follower, he will lead if he feels he is the most capable at the time.
Due to his nature it's not really surprising that he can sometimes overthink and worry too much, which can lead to missed meals and sometimes forgetting simple things. Often he says that the worst enemy in his life is himself. He does have knowledge that it's not healthy to be the way he can be, but sometimes guilt or stress overcomes his reasoning. Or with this it can give in to laziness if it only affects him.
abilities
Scavenger's digestion: Zecarayus's digestion has been greatly improved due to the mutation and in part has made him healthier. He can consume and digest safely rotting, raw, and infected flesh without worrying about disease or parasites. From this his immune system is greatly improved, with light diseases only lasting for a few minutes while he can recover more quickly from serious diseases and even can recover from normally incurable ones. Venoms and poisons are also more easier to treat.
Weakness: The problem with this new digestion is that he has developed certain tastes that can be seen as unholy or wrong, Unfortunately for zecarayus he has a preference for corpses, usually human corpses. Fortunately he doesn't have a taste for living people or animals, and tries very hard to not eat decayed people. But holding back on it for long enough or to become starved leads to a uncontrollable urge for it. In addition he still requires the proper medication for more severe and incurable diseases as he can not recover fully if it's not normally possible on his own, and still requires medical attention for any poisons or venoms inflicted onto him.
Toughened: Part of the reason why zecarayus has better health and digestion is the fact his body has higher rates of regeneration. This means given time, his body can heal itself of wounds, gashes, broken bones, and torn ligaments. It is even possible to recover from mortal wounds such as head shots or stabbed through the heart. Lighter wounds like bruises or small cuts are healed within a few minutes, more severe wounds like bigger cuts and bone fractures are completely healed within two days, and the healing time for more severe wounds including mortal ones are cut in half. The recovery time can be further halved if proper rest and treatment is given for the duration. Because his body now is able to heal quicker, his pain tolerance is higher then normal and he can go beyond human limits in regards to his physical prowess.
Weakness: His regeneration and physical prowess is heavily tied to how hungry he is as the body uses the nutrients and matter from the food he eats to repair the body. Safe to say if he is starving, his regeneration is slowed to that of a person. His above human prowess also comes from his regeneration, meaning he will be unable to go beyond normal human limits if he cannot regenerate at his normal levels(even at his best, superhuman aspects are still slightly superior in a straight match up). In addition while he can heal from mortal wounds it would put him a coma like state for the duration of the healing, leaving him vulnerable to follow ups. Not only that but the more he regenerates the faster he becomes hungry. This regeneration cannot heal dismemberment by itself unless it's very small(the first digits of the fingers/toes as examples).
Madmen sense: Zecarayus's senses has become highly attuned to sensing the influence of maras in the world around him. While not visible, it gives off a distinct smell which varies on the source of the maras. Everything has this smell that has been affected by it, and is often more pungent when abilities are used from that source. This also has lead to a new self defense mechanism. When affected by maras that would affect his behavior and reasoning(mind control as a example), he automatically goes into a fight or flight mode for the duration of it affecting him. During this duration he is unaffected by all effects that would alter his behavior and reasoning.
Weakness: The sensing of maras does not mean he knows its affects nor what the source is. This requires him to do his own investigating if he wants to know more details about the maras. While he is under the fight or flight effect, he has no control over what he does unless it is to fight or run, and even then he is in a panicked and angry set of mind, Whether he fights or flee is judged by how afraid he is during this time. Multiple uses of this in a row without rest can lead to quicker exhaustion and hunger.
background
Zecarayus is not a native of Canada. He in fact comes from the united states, California. The only reason why he is in Canada is because his younger sister made the trip out for a week with her art club in high school. Zecarayus went over to canada to get his sister and return back home to safety of the families bunker. Zecarayus was near nootau when the sirens began to blare. He was unsure of what to do, and when he saw explosions in the distance he took shelter under a fallen tree off the road he was driving down.
He was safely out of the radius of the explosion itself, but not the maras. When the wave passed over him, it was so agonizing he lost consciousness. When he awoke, he woke to his new form, and hungry. He didn't know what happened with him, so he set out to try to find others. He traveled around that day in the cold until he came across a group of people, scared and curious. He was relieved to find people, and walked towards them without thought. One of them saw him approach and took a panic shot. Scared out of his mind, zecarayus ran far and then climbed up a tree. He was hurting so much that he didn't realize the feat he accomplished, after all it was hard for him to climb a tree. However he was not thinking of that as he had a view of the group. They looked human, but there was something odd with them.
Then he heard the primal calls. Zecarayus watched with horror and curiosity as he saw deer started to run toward the group of people. Except they were something wrong with them, the mouth were larger then normal and the horns seemed off. Then they clashed into the group of people. Screams of terror fused with the deers roars as conflict arose. Then as quickly as it started it ended, the survivors of the group running with the feral deer group chasing after. Zecarayus wanted to stay up in the tree forever, but something beckoned him to the scene of the conflict.
After making sure no feral deer or other people were nearby from what he saw, he ventured down the tree and toward the scene of the fight. Blood soaked the snow, from both deer and human. The corpses of two people and three deer were left, the deer shot dead while the people having there limbs torn apart. Zecarayus was horrified by this, but something grew in his stomach, something he didn't want. Hunger persuaded him to go by one of the fallen people. The poor woman had her arm severed as it laid a few feet away from her smashed in face. Zecarayus was appalled by what he was thinking, but his arms seemed to move by there own will as he picked up the arm. He began smelling the arm, he was drooling by now. How long was it since he had something to eat? Surely someone would understand his position if he took a nibble? He was telling himself that as he took the first bite from the arm.
Horror was soon buried with pleasure, the arm was probably the most delicious thing he had eaten in a long time. He was voracious in his eating, first the skin, then the flesh, and finally he was down to the bone, sucking out the marrow and chewing on it. He was so engulfed in it that he didn't here the moans of the deer until he felt the hoof into his leg. Zecarayus screamed with pain as he shot up and faced the deer. It's mouth was off, larger, and the teeth were black and red. It's red eyes glared with hatred at him as it suddenly got up and charged him. Zecarayus was able to jump out of the way, but his leg screamed at him in anger with pain. This stopped him enough for the deer to prep again and headbutt into his chest with it's antlers. adrenaline flowing through him, he was able to recover enough to stop the deer's head from getting any closer with one of his hands. With his other hand, he drove it into the eye of the deer, ripping it out with a tearing noise. The deer fought away from zecarayus at this point, and he let it go. It moved a few feet away from zecarayus before it fell with a groan, then silence.
Zecarayus was breathing hard, then slowly crawled over near the deer. Besides to new wound he gave it in its head, it had several bullet wounds to its side, showing that it should had been much more injured then it actually was. But it had charged at him with the intent to kill him. Zecarayus wanted to know why everything seemed to be going insane, but the pain in his leg reminded him that he needed shelter. It was a long walk into the whiteness of the forest, only half a hour had passed before he saw it. Footprints leading down into a dip in the snow. He crawled forward and noticed the open latch. He pulled himself forward toward the opening, and then saw the stairs. With the last of his strength he pulled himself inside and managed to pull the latch shut. He however did not account for the complete darkness, and then the sudden drop as he fell.
He must had fallen unconscious, because when he awoke he was in darkness. His hunger gnawing at him, he sat up first. He then tried to stand up which he was surprised as he could. His leg were the deer hit him though ached, but besides that he was able to move slowly. He wandered in the the darkness for a while, until he felt a wall. He continued to feel along the wall until he found himself entering a room.
He felt around until coming across a switch, and flipped it. Florescent lights flickered on and zecarayus was temporarily blinded. When his eyes adjusted, he looked in the room and saw a abomination. A thing with white eyes and a black face. At first he screamed, the thing matched showing its canines. Zecarayus crumpled at that point, scared out of his wits. Then he stopped, and realized something. There was a window in the room. He got up, nervously, and watched with horror as the creature matched his movements. He was scared, but then noticed the clothes on the creature. Dread built in him, but he was able to defy it, and moved his arm. The thing matched his movements. He then got up, and crept closer until he was right up to the glass. The thing matched his movements, and was also right up to it on it's side. He then pressed his hand against the glass and confirmed his horrors. He was the thing, stained with blood.
Zecarayus tried to distract himself from this truth by exploring the area he was in and realized it was a formerly occupied bunker. In this shelter he ventured out carefully into the forest, learning how he could eat the carcasses of animals with ease and his new found strength and agility. All though the memory of the woman's arm has for the most part kept him away from interacting with other people. The very few who he did talked to told him about the nearby settlement of aimon, and plans to go there eventually. After all, he still needed to find his sister, or at least learn her fate.
