About this thread:
The only people who should be posting here are myself, Steele, and possibly Zahra if she figures out where her people are in this. These are the characters in the LONG AWAITED Pard storyline! If you come in contact with one of them, try to be polite. They've all been through a lot.

Zaxzi
The Seer at the Pool
And here you thought I wouldn't be coming.

About
Zaxzi is cynical, sarcastic, slightly abusive and sadistic- not generally the type you'd want to be around for long. He hates everyone in general, or at least thinks badly of them; however, he hates to see anything glorious fade. This includes magic, joy, and even an entire race- which is why he was willing to help Vesperae when she came to him searching for a solution to the overcrowding of Glitterdust. He's not as likely to get involved in things as Khallar, but when he does it tends to be with dramatic, violent change. Be careful what you wish for.
Zaxzi is the only pard who has mastered all three magic types- Seer, Mage, and Healer. There is rumor that he is one of the rare Shifter pards...but if anyone's seen this miraculous change, they aren't speaking up.
Motives
Zaxzi's first agenda is to look out for #1. He's in it for himself- don't think there's an ounce of pity or sympathy in his body, or he'll stab you while you assume. His position gives him a lot of responsibility, and he'll accept it- but not a penny more, unless something else moves him to take the chance. He knows that his position is vital to the world, and that a change in the Pool means a time of chaos when the world goes unsupervised, so he will do everything he can to keep himself safe. He is also haunted by the kindness of his long missing (or dead) mate, Oodelali- when someone has that light in their eyes, the truth faith and love of all that she possessed, he has a hard time staying out of it.
Desires
Zaxzi is depserately, despairingly lonely. He currently lives with Britain because when he found her, she was broken- she was a pet, an amusing pasttime. He's grown to need that connection; no matter how at odds they might end up, Brit has never turned Zaxzi away, and he uses her as a replacement for his lost mate. She comforts him in a way he thought he would never find again. (It should be noted that Zaxzi lost his family when he was very young- Brit mothers him.) If Zaxzi could have anything in the world, it would be the return of his mate- but that's not going to happen any time soon.
Position
What is the Seer at the Pool?
Zaxzi works opposite Khallar as his Seer counterpart. Unlike Khallar, who changes what he sees in the waters of the Pool and guides it, Zaxzi simply watches and remembers everything he Sees. He's the fallback- if something important happens that Khallar should see, but did not, it's Zaxzi's job to bring it to his attention. He is capable of manipulating events just like Khallar, but generally would rather bring it to his partner's attention and let him handle it. Sadistic he might be, but he never shirks that duty- he takes it very, very seriously. Because of this, he's become very close to the gryphon- not that you'd catch him dead saying so.
WHY does Zaxzi type in CYAN?!
Zaxzi hates you all. Try to remember that. He knows EXACTLY what color he's speaking in AND how blinding and painful it is to read- if you want to talk to him so badly, you'll deal with it. If not...he didn't exactly want to talk to you in the first place, did he?
Have I mentioned that Zaxzi isn't exactly a nice pard?
