----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance:
Zacharia is always seen wearing his demonic armor, a gift from his father. Elaborate in design, it functions as not only a piece for protection, but a symbol of his Demon heritage. It is a full body piece, coming to claws at his hands, and spiked boots below at his feet. He has the tattered, battle worn red cape, which is in contrast to the shiny armor underneath.
The glowing amulet, looking like that of a child's hand-me-down toy, is always with him, either around his neck, or secured to his wrist.
He holds the appearance of a charismatic elf, with the exception of the horns. These give away his true race almost instantly, though some confuse him for a devil rather than a demon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personality: Zacharia is a calm individual, thinking through his actions before actually doing them. he is a strategist, preferring to plan carefully rather than make any rash decision. However, this is not to say he cant think on his feet. In battle he is fierce, quick, and merciless. He enjoys it when his victim suffers, and the sounds of someones pain thrills him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History: Zacharia is of noble demon blood. Though not royalty, his family still held a high position. His father, Jallak, was the lead military leader for the kingdom's demonic army, and he was very efficient at what he did. When Zacharia was born, his father began to tutor him immediately in the ways of war, and the power of their family's magic, Sephanos Sorceria.
Zacharia was a quick study, and had quickly mastered all his father could teach him. He went to most of his fathers strategy meetings, learning all he could from the man he strove to emulate. Zacheria's mother, Catelina, was a much softer individual. She showed her son compassion and love, and to this day is one of the two beings that he holds a soft spot for in his heart. His father was not pleased at this, and would frequently tell his wife how unhappy he was.
"How is he supposed to be truly strong if you weaken his heart by coddling him?" She couldn't help how she felt, though, and ignored her husbands wishes that she stop all that "silly nonsense."
The other one he holds a soft spot for is Rasha, his childhood friend and crush. She was a princess, the demon King's daughter.
They shared a close friendship, as Zacharia was friends with not only Rasha, but her brother and sister, Kilik and Saya. They were all close, and they all made Zacharia feel like one of the gang, even though he was the youngest of all of them. Unbeknown to them, this angered Zacharia's father, as he believed this weakened his son. He prevented Zacharia from leaving the hose, save for training.
However, he would not be kept from his friends, and would sneak out to meet them, especially Rasha. On the night before she had gone missing, They had snuck out to meet each other in the mortal realm. There was supposed to be some sort of meteor shower, and Rasha had convinced Zacharia to come with her. As they laid there, watching the wonder above, They talked and laughed, and had a wonderful time. Zacharia had grown fond of Rasha, and had begun asking questions, hoping her answers would tell him she felt the same way.
"Rasha? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure.. go ahead."
"If someone who wasn't royalty wanted to be with you... you know... like a boyfriend... what would you think about that?"
Rasha yawned. "Well...why should it matter that they weren't royalty?"
"Well, be cause I... I know this boy who likes you, but he isn't a prince. I don't... he doesn't know if your family would approve of him."
Rasha yawned again, and spoke through her sleepiness. "Really?...I would like to meet this person...if there is something there... it shouldn't matter."
"Well, I think you might know him. But, he is nervous about telling you."
"Mmm... why should he be nervous?... Am I not easy to talk to?"
I think she knows its me. Oh boy. "Yeah you are. It's just that I... he isn't sure how to say how he feels."
Rasha yawned and stretched. "My mother always says... 'if you feel a certain way you should just say it'...something like that..I think there was more but I can't remember right now."
Well... here it goes. "Ok... um, Rasha? The truth is this boy is... well... it's me. i like you. I know my father doesn't approve, but I don't care. I didn't know if your parents would accept me not being a prince. But, I like you, and I wanted to know if you liked me too."
By then, Rasha had fallen asleep, laying quite close to Zacharia. He put his arm under her neck, and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well Rasha." They slept till the early morning, and snuck back home. However, Jallak had been aware of his son's disobedience. He had planned on kidnapping the kings daughter as a way to upset the king, weakening him in order to take over the demon realm. But, he had another reason. He needed to remove this love that his son was developing for the girl. He followed Rasha back to the castle, and grabbed her before she made it home.
"So, you like the mortal realm so much? Then you can stay there!"
He had two of his guards take her above to watch her. During that time, she attempted to escape. She was chased for some time before being cornered at the edge of a cliff. She decided to jump from the ledge to avoid being recaptured. The guards looked everywhere, but found no body. She had landed in the river, and the rapid current had swept her body away. The guard reported her as dead, and Jallak believed it to be a grand addition to his plan.
It was reported to the masses that the princess was dead, a tragic accident taking her life. The news hit Zacharia extremely hard. He never got to tell her how he felt, as she fell asleep just before he gained the courage to do so. Most of all, he regretted not being there to protect her and keep her safe.
He began feeling dejected. In addition to dealing with Rasha's death, he was beginning to believe he would never meet his father's high expectations. His mother did the best she could to console her son, but it only helped to temporarily easy his mental pain. It was about then that he had learned of Arcane Academy.
It sounded like he would be able to gain the knowledge and power he needed to become his father's equal there. Though it saddened his mother, she allowed him to take leave of their home, and enroll in the school. He set off as fast as he could, clutching to him the necklace his mother gave him.

Style: Demon Magic - Sephanos Sorceria
Zacharia uses the style of magic passed on in his family for generations. It is a powerful offensive magic, allowing the caster to obliterate a target. However, it lacks in defense. It contains only one defensive spell, and it can be easily broken by only a few direct attacks from mid-level spells (lower level spells can work, but it takes a few more attacks to do so).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
Physical - As a demon, Zacharia has the power that his small frame appears to lack. Though not as physically strong as most demons, he makes up for it with speed and skill.
Mental - Zacharia is a planner. He will plot for days if he has to to accomplish his goals. He is extremely bright, and calm, allowing him to have near boundless patients, a trait quite a few of his demon brethren lack.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:
Physical - Demons are weak to most holy and light magic, and Zacharia is no exception. He lacks the resistance some of the other demons gain to these, and even the lowest of light/holy spells can take a lot out of him.
Mental - Zacharia strives to make his father proud, and constantly seeks approval. most of his actions are directly because of how he thinks his father will look at him for it. This had lead to a small amount of self consciousness, and a large amount of inner turmoil. He feels empty at point, sometimes believing his only purpose is to please his father.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spell List:
Dark Orb - This is the primary attack spell. It is just as it sounds... a dark glowing orb of energy is formed in the hands of the spell caster and fired at the target. It is a straight forward spell. The orb can only be fired in a straight line, and cannot be made to change paths one released. The impact from this is the same as if struck by the fist of an orc, and leaves a burning sensation where it made contact.
Dark Flame - A fire of pure dark Energy, this spell does not burn as would a normal fire. Instead, the target feels as if the fire is within them, like they are burning form the inside out. This causes a good deal of pain, but cannot kill. It is meant not just as an attack, but also as a way to torture the target of the spell. The caster can end the effect at any time, and he must concentrate to keep the effect going. If he let's the spell be, the effects decrease on there own, and the burning sensation will fade. The fire can be summoned underneath the feet of the target, or hurled at them in the same fashion as the dark orb.
Dark Barrier - This is the only defensive spell in all of the Sephanos Sorceria style of magic. It is a translucent barrier, dark in color, that completely surrounds the caster. It is weak, and is only used for short times, as it take more concentration that any of the other spells. It is easily broken by a few mid-level attacks, and the spell itself can drain the caster quickly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons/Gear: Zacharia carries with him a Demonic Vorpal blade. This evil weapon is designed to custom fit Zacharia. To him, it is a light weigh blade, that he wields with the utmost skill. To anyone else, it is a sword that cannot even be lifted, feeling like it carries with it a weight to great to bear.
Items: None at this time.
Note: The glowing doll necklace was a gift from his mother, the only person Zacharia's heart holds a place for.
