Appearance: Zen stands tall, a lean silhouette often draped in a black, baggy sweater that emphasizes his slouched, effortless posture. His long, white hair is typically pulled back, framing a pale face that serves as a canvas for his history; crisscrossing scars mark his skin, hinting at a turbulent past. His eyes, a piercing dark blue, are the most expressive part of his face, as a mask permanently conceals his mouth and nose. Beneath his layers, intricate tattoos snake across his chest, torso, upper arms, and ankles, adding a layer of complexity to his appearance. He grounds his look with heavy, utilitarian boots and dark, durable jeans. Personality: To the outside world, Zen is a fortress. He is quiet, blunt, and unapologetically rude, often using his aloofness as a shield to keep people at a distance. He doesn’t waste breath on pleasantries, preferring silence to superficial conversation. However, this cold exterior is deceptive. Beneath the prickly surface lies a dry, sharp sense of humor that only emerges when he feels secure. Once he lets someone into his inner circle, his true colors show: he is surprisingly sweet, fiercely loyal, and deeply thoughtful. Extra Details: Creative Outlet: Zen is an artist at heart. He is rarely seen without a sketchbook, constantly documenting the world or his own thoughts through sketches. Tactile Nature: Given his tattoos and scars, he is very conscious of the physical sensations on his skin, often fidgeting with his sleeves or the collar of his sweater. The Mask: It is more than an accessory; it is his primary boundary. He only removes it in moments of complete privacy or profound trust.
