Zachary D. Harris

[Westernbullet]

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see his face

Full Name : Zachary David Harris
Age : 23
Height : 6'10ft
Weight : 185lb
Kind : Wizard
Ethnicity Caucasian

Occupation : Dockworker
DOB : February 14, 1979

Significant Other : None
Children : None

Mother : Grace McPherson
Father : John Harris
Siblings : None

Appearance :

Best described as a scarecrow, tacky flannel shirts and beat up jeans included. Perpetually hunched over, Zeke has frightening large hands and isn't what you'd call graceful by any means. If it wasn't for his height, Zeke wouldn't be anyone who stood out in a crowd or left a lasting impression. He has a short beard, ditchwater brown eyes, and unruly hair that has a bad habit of sticking up and making him look as if he'd just been shocked.

Personality :

Zeke has spent most of his life feeling out of place, and the more he grew, the more distinct the feeling became. He's never fit in particularly well, and struggles with expressing himself clearly. It isn't an issue of not knowing what to say, but an issue of not knowing how to say it. As such, Zeke doesn't talk much, fearful that he'll make the wrong impression, and hurt or anger the other person.

Despite these troubles, Zeke enjoys being around those he knows well, and strives to help whenever he can. He is selfless to a fault and would give someone the shirt off his back if they asked. Eager to please others and be involved in their lives, the wizard could be easily manipulated--and has been, to devastating effect. His fae lover took advantage of him and although very bitter, Zeke largely blames himself for his lapse in judgement and having been blind to her intentions. His trust is not what it once was, and these days he is more likely to cast doubt.

Not only on others, but himself. The disappearance of his parent's, his grandparent's death, and Lochan's betrayl have sowed a great uncertainty and disconfidence in Zeke. He believes he has little self worth and that losing those closest to him is his own fault.

Magical Abilities

While just a child from the perspective of his kind, Zeke has always been somewhat precocious in his gifts. His abilities manifested at eleven when his spelling test caught on fire.

• To varying degrees, able to summon any of the four elements. These all come with costs. Fire, if not handled correctly is just as likely to scorch the user, earth requires some serious muscle to move around, and he must be near a source of water to use it. Air is less taxing to use and is Zeke's element of choice for most confrontations.
• Keeps a familiar in the form of a scruffy mutt named Franklin. If taken, a familiar can be used as a direct conduit to their master, similar in fashion to how blood or hair can be used in spells to manipulate and/or harm someone.
  
• His wizard's staff is a pitchfork's handle, engraved with various symbols of different faiths, all carrying similar meanings of protection, good fortune, and strength.

At seventeen she gave birth to Zachary Harris, ushered into the world on Valentine's Day. Neither of his parents were ready to care for a child, and predictably, the two drifted apart, Grace leaving four years later and John following soon after.

In the care of his grandparents, Zeke had a relatively normal childhood. He worked closely with his grandfather, a trail guide, operating a hunting outfit in the nearby Elkhorn Mountains.

After the passing of his grandparents, Zeke becomes the sole owner of his family's farm and the outfit at nineteen.
