Buzen Zenki

Buzen Zenki Twenty-eight Nefarious Zuzu Crest (mod will fill out) Virus, Mixed FACE CLAIM: Zelos Wilder ANIMANGA: Tales of Symphonia GENDER: Male HEIGHT: Five feet, four inches WEIGHT: One-hundred-thirty-nine pounds APPEARANCE Buzen's not usually a hard man to pick out of the crowd. His parents are both traditional Japanese, but the families relocated there from Ireland in the late 1800s. He has rather long ruby hair that will fall down around his waist at its longest and his pectorals for the equivalent of his bangs. He has pale skin due to his Irish heritage, and his eyes are a beautiful pale blue the same color of a sapphire or a pristine pool. He has a rather slight appearance, and isn't actually very muscled, entirely the result of not really seeing the point of organized sports. He burns most of his calories and keeps himself skinny through the use of his brainpower, which as a genius leaves him drastically more drained than most, and through sex. He's a little short, coming up to only five foot four inches, but he doesn't mind. It helps keep his weight to a nice one hundred and thirty nine pounds, and he likes that. He's confident about the way he looks. Why else would so many people be all over him if he was anything less than drop-dead sexy, after all? Buzen is rather odd in how he likes to dress. While he has a variety of outfits, a certain theme tends to emerge. A single white headband to keep his hair from falling in front of his eyes; a nice spandex shirt, usually black, that is either little more than a wrap or has small straps, like an undershirt; a covering, usually of pink or brown with golden accents, that will string together over his chest and cover what needs to be covered; a pair of black sleeves with matching outer coverings that stretch from just underneath his armpit down over his arms; a golden pendant on a bit of fishing wire and studded with two circular rubies; a pair of soft white pants held up with a brown leather belt with a golden buckle; and a pair of yellow boots with white accents. Yes, it's extremely odd. He sits around in an office all day making phone calls and handling most of his work via email or online transactions, honestly, it's not like he needs to dress up for anyone. For when the situation demands it, however, he will put his hair up in a braid tied with a violet ribbon and part the bangs over to the left while he adorns himself with a white and green suit with light green accents and red frills at the collars, white dress shoes and kid gloves accompanying the outfit. That's only for business meetings though. The whole thing really is too stuffy for day to day things, and not even Daisuke's commands would convince him to make it a permanent wardrobe change - thankfully, the man doesn't seem to mind, so the outfit sits in the back of his closet, rarely used. LIKES Having his hair pulled Numbers and formulaes Money Fingers on his skin Safety DISLIKES One-night stands Disorganization Traitors Inefficiency Being hunted POSITIVE Logical;; No matter the situation that he's been placed in, Buzen will reason out his options intelligently and reasonably, not really the type to make decisions based on his emotions - the ache of betrayal lingering in his chest from knowing that his ex plotted with the group that staged the coup that nearly killed him is more than enough to convince him against that course of action - and then choose the best one based on the possible outcomes rather than personal preference or outside influences. Intelligent;; With an Intelligent Quotient that places him firmly in the top ninety-five percent of the population, Buzen is undoubtedly one smart cookie, and even if a good amount of his brain power comes from numbers and formulas and books, he's also street-smart, having grown up poor and in and out of gangs, and without his mental capabilities being as advanced as they are, there's little doubt that the man wouldn't have lasted for quite as long as he has. Persistent;; Buzen is a surprisingly determined man, hard to kill and hard to push out of a situation, and it's this determination that has made him such a threat to others when he will engage in games to keep money safe for days or weeks on end - though more recently, it's been this trait that has kept him alive as his ex's gang has been hunting for evidence of his survival and he's been avoiding their notice as best he can so that he won't be murdered to finish the coup that removed him from power. Cunning;; While most would consider Buzen turning his considerable intelligence towards acts that aren't exactly condoned by the law, considering that he grew up poor and practically living on the streets and then found himself taking part in not one but two gangs that nearly resulted in his capture or death, if it weren't for this tendency, the man would almost certainly have been eliminated by this point in his life. Faithful;; As surprising as it is, given that Buzen has betrayed people before and been betrayed himself, the redhead actually harbors a surprisingly strong sense of loyalty to people that he trusts, which is why he was so hurt by the coup that forced him to flee for his life, but should he find someone who will accept him, all of him, and have his back, he would rather die than betray that person. Dedicated;; If there's ever a person who will throw all of himself into his work without batting an eye, it would have to be Buzen, the man putting so much of himself into the illegal activities over the years that it's little wonder why he's considered one of the best at hiding funds from authorities and rival gangs, a skill that has taken him a lot of years to master but come in handy when he's stolen money from both of the previous gangs that he was affiliated with. NEGATIVE Possessive;; Once Buzen has labeled something as his, he will go to any means in order to protect that something, and it's that motivation that led him to plot to take whatever money he could from the accounts before fleeing and then crashing the systems to ensure that no one could access them, a vindictive sense of satisfaction welling up inside him at the petty game of showing his ex exactly who everything truly belonged to. Devious;; In the underworld, if you don't look at every situation and evaluate how you can best use it to your advantage, you won't last very long, and Buzen is no exception, the older man thinking nothing of working through his options in an instant and then turning his powers towards turning some sort of profit or squeezing out a benefit, a trait that hasn't been beaten out of him even in his current flight. Prideful;; Buzen was one of the best at what he does, still is really, and he's very much aware of it, and as such he will tolerate no insults to his pride, not above lashing out at even the smallest of insults, a prickly nut to crack, and it's a rare thing for him to swallow his ego and apologize verbally to someone, regardless of whether or not he recognizes the fact that he's at fault for something.. Manipulative;; Although Buzen will often sheath his claws when it comes to the well-being of those that he holds dear, it's not uncommon for the man to use his prowess to jerk people around according to his whims, using them like puppets in order to hide his own actions or make use of them, and if they should happen to break from playing with them, it's hardly any skin off his nose. Deceptive;; As might be imagined from someone who was - formerly! - a part of the criminal underworld, Buzen is quite accomplished at keeping secrets, and he can hide things from people for however long it takes for him to accomplish what he needs, and even then sometimes he'll let lies spill from his lips or conceal the truth when the situation might not call for it just because he feels like it. Interpersonal;; While the word 'antisocial' doesn't really do poor Buzen justice - he doesn't mind socializing with those that he liked, quite capable of talking for hours on subjects that interest him - the redhead tends to come off as a hermit since he tends not to like the company of others, particularly if he feels others are intruding upon him with their very presence. HISTORY Buzen was born an only child. He'd never really had much as a kid, having grown up rather poor, and as such, he was used to having to give things up in order to keep going. What luxuries he had were few and far between, and he always had to guard them fiercely in order to keep them from being stolen. With his stomach sometimes left to go through the night without having anything inside it more solid than water for twenty-four hours, the boy had more than enough motivation to want to better himself to escape the hell. But rather that resorting to stealing, as many of his fellows would in the same situation, he instead focused on bettering himself, making use of the intelligence he was born with to refine it further and thus give him an edge. Why steal when you could learn how to take advantage of the existing system? The boy was bright, exceptionally so, and when he entered school, it soon became apparent that he was more than just gifted. He was a prodigy. He skipped several grades as a child, and by the time he was sixteen, he had already graduated from high school. More importantly, however, was that his innocent time was over. He was drawn into the gang scene because of his prowess with numbers and his love for money, and from there, he soon found his calling. He loved taking the money and hiding it away, making money off it, and the thrill of keeping it safe from other gangs and authorities was one that gave him an intense high. In two years' time, he graduated, but it came at a high cost. The gang he'd been working with had been falling into petty infighting, and he could tell that there wasn't any hope in the gang. What he did instead was begin working with the money, taking advantage of being the sole person with access to the books to begin relocating the money. He had the efforts of a few friends to thank for the extra year he needed to move all the money around, and when the police investigation finally caught the gang, he was careful enough to keep himself from having enough evidence to implicate him. He expunged himself from the gang records, essentially hiding himself, and then he bode his time. He had to wait until he was twenty-four before he could start tapping into that money for more than bare essentials without eliciting detection now that it had been sufficiently scattered, but as soon as he had the chance, he made ample use of his funds, opening an investment firm and using his skills with money to try to go legitimate and repay his debt to society so that he could make a new life for himself. A year after that, however, he found that he was rather... restless. He missed the gang life, the drama, the rush, everything. He missed the thrill of avoiding the police and playing with money. Maybe that was why, when he was approached in a bar by a young man looking to start a gang and having heard whispers of the redhead's ability, he agreed. The gang grew for three years, the funds kept well by the redhead, and he was even making a good bit of returns off the money that he had hidden. He found himself fighting with his superior by day, but by night... the redhead was tangled in the sheets, his heart slowly falling for the younger man who was intimate with him. If someone asked him, Buzen wouldn't be able to put his finger on an exact moment when he began to suspect that the other's "I love you" was false; maybe he knew it was the beginning, he just kept it locked away in the depths of his heart just because he was so desperate for his feelings to be returned. Either way, however, the man began to doubt, and when he dug deeper into his lover's actions, he found out the truth. One of his underlings was conspiring to kill him and take his position, and his lover was helping him plan it. Hurt and unsure who he could trust, Buzen did the only thing he knew would keep him alive: He faked his own death, burned the files with the passwords, wiped the records of accounts to buy himself some time, stole whatever money he thought he could get away with, and ran. It was while he was on the run that he met his partner, the Digimon being the only one he knew he could trust. Since then, he's been hanging around in Tokyo, the guilt over not trusting his best friend in the gang keeping him from being able to just purchase a ticket and leave the country. Sometimes he'll think about what he once had, and the thought just... burns him up. It infuriates him and saddens him all at once. Maybe that's why he's sworn to get his revenge. He'll make them pay for trying to toss him aside like little more than garbage. And that's a promise.
