...okay. I seem to remember being six years old. And then nothing.
Did I miss something again? | | |
|
[ There's a small fumbling sound, as if he's trying to pick up the Dreamberry but isn't quite sure how to. After a little more fuddling and muttering to himself, Zelos finally gets ahold of the device.
Except he's six years old. ]
Uh- Um, hello?! Wh-where am I? Whe- This isn't the mansion!
M-mother? Sebastian?
He-help!
[[ Yeeeaaah. Zelos is now six years old. Looks like he finally found one of those cards lying around. He doesn't remember any of you, sadly, and he's rather upset at the moment. Try to calm the poor kid down?
Oh and uh. Unless you want a very upset six year old on your hands, do not mention what happened to his mother. Uh uh. ]] | | |

The quiet sounds of a ticking clock are heard nearby, the faint "tick-tocks" seeming to echo in the empty and silent room. Zelos layed on the couch, staring at nothing, alone in the dark.
"You seem to be having some problems making a decision, Chosen."
Zelos turned, giving a half smirk to the man standing in the dark, barely visable in the fading light of the moon. Still, the seemingly cold face and piercing eyes were easy to spot even in the poor lighting. Never mind his instantly recognizable apatheic tone of voice. "And I think someone is going to pressure me into an answer if he doesn't stop telling me that."
The man was silent, although Zelos could tell he was probably smirking back. "There's very little time left, you know that."
Zelos sighed, rolling onto his side before sitting up. "You don't need to remind me of that, old man. I know what's riding on this for you, as well."
"Then, you have an answer?"
Zelos paused, thinking over the answer in his head, flashes of different memories passing before his eyes. His sister smiling at him as they played, Lloyd offering his hand to him, his mother as she died. He stayed still, before looking back at the man, a potent smirk on his face.
"...When can I start?"
....Damn. Why the hell am I thinking of that guy? *grumbling* I'm glad he's stuck on that stupid rock.
By the way, Fran, hunny, let's not be bragging about our time together, 'kay? I think my brain's still a little broken conflicted on that subject.

[ Almost completely private. Only Asch, Raven, and Sheena can see this. Everyone else? No go. ]
A little girl danced around in a field of flowers, her bright red hair bouncing around her face as she tumbled around in the flowers. A younger Zelos watched from nearby, a small half smile on his face as he watched his younger sister spin in the flower field.
"Master Zelos," a voice called, and Zelos looked up into the face of his retainer, Sebastian. "We should return to the house soon."
Zelos was about to answer him when he felt a gentle pressure on his head, and turned to see Seles beaming at him.
"Brother! I made you a flower crown! Mommy says they bring good luck!" She smiled at him proudly, adjusting the new headpiece on his hair.
Zelos stared at up her, a strange feeling welling up in his chest. He paused before smiling happily up at her as well. "We should make you one too before we go, huh?"
Seles absoultely beamed at him and nodded enthusiastically, bounding off into the flowers again. "Come on, Brother! Before Sebastian makes us go home!"
Zelos laughed, following after her.
"Seles."
....Hmm. I wonder how the little monster's doing.

[ This is fairly private. Only Asch, Raven, Sheena, and perhaps Kallen can even see parts of it. To them, they could probably see most of it, but it's very fuzzy and broken. To everyone else, it's just very fuzzy and you can only see flashes of different things, but no where near the whole picture. ]
Everything was white. Cold, and white.
A beautiful blonde haired woman stood before him, her smile laced with something hidden and sad. Zelos didn't seem to notice though, and his younger self in the dream smiled happily at her. She was playing with him after all! In the snow, on such a good day!
He laughs and giggles, the world of white fluttering around him. Everything seems right in the world.
Suddenly, the scene changes, almost violently.
A loud bang echoes, and the world is suddenly filled with the colour of red instead of white.
The beautiful woman from before is splayed out on the ground, the blood flying every where as she crashes down onto the ground.
"Mo-mother!" the young Zelos cries out, rushing to her side. Her hand almost grabs him down, and the sad smile on her face suddenly becomes almost twisted. The world seems to freeze in time as her final words croak out.
"You should have never been born."
The world suddenly twists and disappears, as he falls into unconsciousness.
Everything is white again.
[[ OOC: I'm sorry I've been missing for a while. ;; Been very busy and just didn't get a chance to get up to RP. Zelos is going to be pretty mopey though guys, especially with all the snow. Just use my absence as Zelos being missing for a few days because of the change in the weather. >>;; ]] | | |

Well, due to his rather weird and sometimes twisted personality, Zelos can be a little hard to get along with. He's a good people reader, and will usually catch on fast to things. He'll also use any weak points a person has to his advantage if he can/has to. On the other hand, he's a very hard man to actually get close to, and he honestly will probably not care too much about someone until they manage to hit that soft spot of his. Do note that he hardly opens up about himself, even with those he's close to, so don't take it personally. People are listed in alphabetical order, and more will be added as Zelos meets them. ♥ Hopefully, I've remembered everyone. e__e;;( Everybody's gonna love today. ) | | |

Lol bandwagon. Like Asch and Raven, Zelos is from Tales and so he has quite a few skills at his disposal. Unlike the other two though, they didn't call it artes yet, so. :'> *hit* Zelos' skills are a little more straightforward than the other Tales of games, so. :'D Hopefully this will make sense. He has a lot of them though, so watch out. ( You don't like it, you love it. ♥ )Sheeesh, I forgot how many he has. *orz* Technically, he has one more from the PS2 version, but I don't feel like adding that one. :P *hit* As you can probably tell from his rather extensive skills list, Zelos is a very talented magic swordsman. He also talks his freaking head off when he's casting and attacking, but ffff I can't remember all of his catchphrases. Basically, unless he's being all serious business, he will blabber his head off. :| Keep in mind that yes, his attacks will carry over the Dreamberry, so don't piss him off or something~ ♥ Mostly this goes towards a certain redhead. B| I'm looking at you, brat. Of course, his attacks won't be quite as strong, and if you're just connected to the line you'll only get a little poof of the spell. And now a bit on his general attack. Like I said before, Zelos is a skilled magic swordsman, so he's very adept with a sword. He prefers a short sword or dagger, and his style is very flippant and silly. He literately spins around as he hits with his sword, but don't be fooled. He actually does a decent amount of damage with just his basic attacks, and he actually is fairly accurate with most of his attacks. He's not the fastest character, but he's much faster than his counterpart Kratos, and seems to be more even a little more skilled? Idk. Favoritism? Noooo. *hit*And even though he's rather skilled with spells - especially for a human - he'll more likely attack with his sword than his spells. If you have him controlled by the CPU, he's more likely to run up and attack, and only cast if he has to. Of course, I tend to spam his magic skills personally, so he'll probably end up using them a little more in battles than usual. XD Defense wise, he's pretty normal, I suppose. As a swordsman, he can also use a shield, and can usually take hits pretty well. It also helps that he can heal, so he'll be a pretty good choice for toughing it out through a fight as long as he can cast. He's also decent at dodging as well, especially with his spinning attacks. XD Since Zelos has a Cruxis Crystal, he's technically an angel of his world. So, he actually has wings. Yes. Sparkly orange wings. :| They're pretty much like any other fandom wings - minus looking more like fairy than angel wings - so he can fly around and all that jazz. They're apparently made up of the person's inner mana, so I'm assuming they do not feel very good. The angel transformation sucks to begin with, and the wings look like they cause some good amount of pain. You won't see him with them much. Also, his Cruxis Crystal is canonically green, so just think he's hiding it somewhere else, but the Exsphere is obvious one. ;| And yes, the Cruxis Crystal/Exsphere grants him more strength, but not an insane amount. Also note that just because he has angel-type skills does not mean that he likes to use them. He really doesn't like that part of himself, and with good reason. :'| He'll only use those skills if he has to, including the wings. | | |

(Certain parts may seem a bit garbled to the viewer, but this is clearly public. Poor Zelos is obviously a bit caught up in his thoughts.)
The same rushing wind sound from before permeates the dream, only this time there's no scene of flying - only the distant noise of wind roaring.
The scene fades from black to a small shower stall, revealing a young girl crying amidst the pouring water. Her black hair covers her face, and she holds herself tightly, ignoring the presence of the younger boy.
Suddenly, the scene changes again, this time with what appears to be the girl, only older. Her face is flushed in anger, but she smiles nervously.
"Zelos, stop that." She laughs.
The scene changes again, this time to a battle, the girl fighting in front of him. He feels a certain sense of pride before rushing in, joining the fight.
The scene continues to change, showing different bits and pieces of memories of her, different emotions. Her yelling at him, smacking him, smiling excitedly, crying at the loss of Corrine, blushing quietly at the thought of another certain swordsman.
Her telling him that she never doubted he was a good man, even at his sudden betrayal.
The scene fades, going back to the shower stall, the same girl crying in the water.
"H-hey," a young boy's voice calls out, a hand reaching in, curious.
The girl's face shoots up, her face quickly turning red.
The last thing he sees is the block of soap hitting him square in the face. | | |
