Zaire
"quote"
Bio: From the day he was born, his parents believed that a demon resided in his right eye. He endured relentless verbal, physical, and emotional abuse and neglect. It was a normal occurrence and not something that he even considered was strange even though he himself admitted that his parents were psychopaths. It wasn't like he could do anything about it when they never let him off the large family property and even performed an exorcism on him and poured holy water into his eye. It came to a head when he was 19 and his father tried to gouge his eye out. He didn't quite succeed but it left Zaire mostly blind on the right side and wearing his hair so that it hides the scars and that unsightly yellowish eye color.
After he ran away from the farm that very night, he got medical care at a shady clinic and tried to fit into a society he'd never gotten to experience. He fell in love with a beautiful boy he met soon after who made him feel like an ordinary human. However, he was obsessed with this need to remain normal in every way possible and started to control his boyfriend, style him, tell him who he was, and in general be codependent because Zaire couldn't function without his boyfriend around balancing his worsening psychosis. When he learned that his boyfriend wasn't who he seemed, he beat him and left, telling the boy never to show his face again. Now he has no idea what to do with himself and he's still plagued by his first love, still not sure what he did wrong. |
Age: 24
Gender: Male Species: Human Orientation: Gay Status: It's complicated Occupation: Freeloader or temp work Appearance: He stands 5'8" tall with a slim but handsome body and well-proportioned face. His black hair is semi-styled but overgrown, the bangs on his right side fully covering the eye. His left eye is blue while the right one is a golden/green color, not that you can see it well past the swollen lid and scars. He has other small scars but nothing he can place to an exact injury. He dresses casual, though with a sense of style. Could be given ear piercings, depending on the timeline, probably in silver or a shade of blue to match his left eye. Likes: Ordinary things, perfect appearances, any object without flaws, and structure/rules, and seeing them followed through. Dislikes: Learning surprises about people, his eyes, crosses, and the sound of running water. Personality: It's a product of his childhood that he has no idea how love is supposed to work. His own self-doubts leave him lashing out or clinging obsessively in an eternal quest to live a life even he's not sure he can have. There are days he hates his parents and days he thinks they must have been right. He knows he hurt his boyfriend so maybe he is a demon, but he loved him too and only went wrong that one time he raised his fists. His thoughts are muddled. While arrogant, temperamental, and delusional, he was also desperate in his kindness and the type to need constant attention. He genuinely likes making others happy as it validates the relationship to him. Although he's been the aggressor and only topped, subbing might be a healthy way for him to deal with his trauma. However, if he finds anyone as soft as his previous boyfriend, he's likely to become even more violent in his anger and desperation. |
