Name: Zelos Wilder
Canon: Tales of Symphonia
Canon Point: Kratos Route: After betraying the party
Age: 22
History/Personality: wiki.
Would you consider your character to be heroic? Why or why not?: Zelos is definitely not a hero. He's a guy who does the right thing only when its its convenient for him, largely because he's grown up in a society where altruism simply doesn't exist.
Survival for him has meant getting his hands dirty. It means looking into the eyes of people who hate his guts and smiling like he doesn't see it. His life has been spent constantly making concessions to right and wrong in order to gain the upper hand. He used and was used in turn. He sleeps around to get what he wants. He'll forge and break alliances on a whim so long as it serves his purposes, without much care for the collateral.
Up until he joined Lloyd's group he never believed people could be heroic in a way that wasn't muddied by their own selfish ends.
And until he met Lloyd and his friends, he didn't believe there was any reason to fight the system. The moment he joined them, the moment he saw them making very real change in their broken world, he himself began to change. Rather than simply trying to survive, Zelos decided that perhaps it would be time to live - and that meant no longer making the easy choice but trying to make the right one. At his current canon point he has put everything in place to betray Cruxis, on the cusp of turning it all around, only to find that even amongst outsiders he was on the outside looking in.
He'd probably describe himself as the villain of this story. And he's decided he'd much rather die a villain's death than continue living like that.
Powers/Abilities:
- energy wings made of mana that can be summoned and dismissed at will
- superhuman strength. angel strength isn't given an exact measure, but he could fairly easily lift a boulder over his head.
- enhanced senses. also not quantified, but angels have far more sensitive eyesight and hearing than regular humans do.
- enhanced stamina and endurance. he'll keep you going all night long baby.
- Magic Spells which include elemental manipulation & healing.
Coterie: Jaguars or if things are too full then toss him on Eagles.

Name ZELOS WILDER
Age 22
Born MAY 27
Sexuality DEEPLY CLOSETED BISEXUAL Occupation CHOSEN / SOCIALITE / TRAITOR
Sexuality DEEPLY CLOSETED BISEXUAL Occupation CHOSEN / SOCIALITE / TRAITOR
THE CHOSEN OF THE FLOURISHING WORLD.
SUICIDE BY PARTY.
Zelos comes from the KRATOS PATH wherein he decides to have the party kill him rather than continue on their journey.
Lloyd in this path was WISHY-WASHY and RELIED ON KRATOS. He was not as resolutely committed to forging his own path as he needs to be in order to have Zelos' affection rank the highest. Zelos also often felt like an outsider in the party and did not closely bond with anyone, though he tried to. And though he came around to believing in what they were trying to do and was moved by Lloyd's compassion and refusal to accept the world as it was he was unable to fully place his trust in Lloyd. And when Lloyd, after accepting Mithos without a second thought, turned to Zelos and questioned whether or not he could trust him, Zelos decided then and there he was done and could not continue living as he felt as though he was nothing but a burden and they would truly be better off without him. Going in to the battle he knew he would not walk away alive and that his death would guarantee that Seles' was freed from the abbey, one way or another.
THE FRIEND NOBODY LIKES.
Zelos is something of an acquired taste - one people would like a lot more if he wasn't constantly playing up his worst habits. His crippling inferiority complex and self loathing hides behind a fool's mask, playing it up as though he believes himself to be the Goddess' gift to the world. The citizens of Tethe'alla tolerate him because of his social status and influence, hoping to use him to further their own social status. Zelos keeps the party at arm's length and chooses to take their annoyance with him as a true reflection of their feelings, rather than one he's brought on himself with his obnoxious act.
STEPFORD SMILER.
A trait inherited by his mother. Zelos is the kind of person who smiles no matter what is happening to him or around him. His pain is buried underneath jokes, his true feelings buried underneath sarcasm and flippant remarks. Few people know just how true some of his throwaway lines ring, as the moment someone touches on something real Zelos is quick to infuriate and misdirect their attention.
OBFUSCATING STUPIDITY
Zelos makes a point to seem as though he isn't aware of what's happening around him. The bigger the idiot act he puts on, the less anyone notices or cares what he's doing. He's a master at diverting attention and pulling it back when needed.
BRUTAL HONESTY.
Yet he's not one to mince words about how he feels. Zelos is sharp and to the point when a line has been crossed for him. He is the friend who will grab your shoulders and tell you when you've fucked up, and he is the friend who will hold you to your word.
BIG BROTHER INSTINCT.
Though Zelos is certain that she hates him, Seles is Zelos' world.
I WANT MY BELOVED TO BE HAPPY.
As far as he's concerned, his friends would be happier without him in their lives. This is plain to see as Zelos plays matchmaker with both Sheena and Lloyd despite his own interest in them, and he plans to die so Seles can inherit everything he has. He believes himself to be a stain upon their lives and has no qualms at all with quietly disappearing so that they can have a better life.
DEATHSEEKER.
What a sorry way to go.
First impressions.
Visual. 5'10" / 179 cm. 150 lbs / 68 kg. visible scarring across his chest.
Fashion. fancy & bad
Demeanor. chill until you piss him off
