Name: Zotsholo Mjoli
Nickname: Zot. Only likes hearing Zotsholo when he's being handed a medal.
Gender/Pronoun: Trans man, he/him
Age: 36
Birthday: March 11, 1985
Sign: Pisces
Occupation: Professional track and field athlete. Heading towards retirement, but still very fast. Mostly does modeling and endorsement deals these days. Has an 501(c) organization dedicated to sheltering homeless LGBT youths.
Hobbies:
"Running, Running and Running, Running" - Zotsholo runs. He runs a lot. It's his primary form of activity now that he's mostly retired from professional sports, and he's fast. There's a reason why he used to win awards. It's not uncommon to find him on the streets, on the track, or even betting someone randomly on the street who is also jogging that he will beat them to the corner. And he will.
"Hi, my name is Jared, I'm nineteen and I never learned how to read." - Zotsholo has never particularly liked reading. The words never feel like they want to stay still, and books just frustrate him, but he does like stories and he has a very vivid imagination. He voraciously consumes audiobooks. He loves epic sweeping fantasies and sci-fis with super buff knights or heroes that sweep the princess off their feet. He loves listening to radio serials and podcasts. He loves streaming services too, especially ones where they play story games for him so he doesn't have to try and figure out the little secrets.
Virtues:
"Come As You Are." - Accepting - The funny thing is, he's not necessarily intentionally respectful. Zotsholo is accepting because it doesn't occur to him to be otherwise. Why make fun of someone for the way that they are? He drinks his respect women juice, but it's mostly because he likes the way it tastes versus any actual intent. His rudeness is attitude and superficiality; he never digs into anyone's being because it is pointless.
"I'm Not Nice." - Good-Hearted - Good does not equal nice, but he is ultimately a good guy. Back when he was fully professional, he would often take extra time to stop to give signatures or encouraging words. With some of the extra money from endorsement deals, he's started up a charity organization dedicated to homeless LGBT kids. His siblings can count on him at any point, full stop. If someone needs a hand, he'll provide. Just don't expect it to be with a smile.
Flaws:
"Yeah, That Does Make You Look Goddamn Hideous." - Uncouth - He doesn't mean well. He doesn't necessarily mean ill. Both of these things would require him to think about anything he says before he says it, which he doesn't. Everything he says is almost completely off-the-cuff, and to be honest, his natural off-the-cuff tendencies are rather rude. Zotsholo is not terribly good at self-censoring, probably shouldn't be around young kids, and if someone's going to be his friend, well, they're just going to have to deal with it.
"I Will Win." - Competitive - He'll win against you. He'll win against your mother. He'll win against that rabbit over there. Zotsholo is competitive about everything for no reason. Who can eat their breakfast the fastest? He can. Who can climb the stairs the fastest? He can. He's a professional athlete after all, and he is also tall as hell. Who can piss-- He turns almost everything into an oft pointless competition. The people who stick around usually just have to get used to it.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
One of Richtersveld's twins. They are not identical, but should look related.
See the tall guy with curly lavender hair? That's him. Also Sims.
Eyes: Lavender purple, almond-shaped with a mild upward slant.
Hair: Lavender, very curly. Keeps it relatively short to his head, though still has enough room to run his own fingers through it.
Face: Oval-shaped with a somewhat chiseled jawline that he accentuates with facial hair. Thicker lashes. Thick lips. Attached earlobes.
Skin Tone: Dark with cooler undertones. See references!
Body Type: Very tall, definitely muscular, though in a way more built for speed and length than anything dorito-shaped. Zotsholo rings in at a daunting seven feet tall. (See that guy he's standing with? He's 6'7".)
Clothes: Basketball shorts are life. He usually is found in clothing that allows him to easily slip from the track to everyday life -- and the recent athleisure trends help that. He can be talked to dress nice, usually in blazer coats with nice slacks and an open button-up shirt underneath. Obviously, when doing modeling or endorsement deals, he'll be dressed head-to-toe in that brand.

 Knight Title: Dumuzi, Page of Pluto(Dumuzi is named for Dumuzid, a.k.a. Tammuz, a Sumerian god associated with death-into-life and the cycle of seasons, known for his relationship with Inanna, and as the provider of milk.)Challenge: "You're gonna lose. Why even bother?"
Uniform:
I'd love if there were some similarities between his uniform and his sister's, if he used the cooler colors of the Plutonian palette (such as that blue-green and purple), and if perhaps his outfit could show some ancient influences like drapey fabrics as a reference back to the mythological origins of Dumuzi.
(<--- also, just look over there)
Top -- Thigh-length traditional side-fastened coat? Shorter? Longer? Exposed undershirt? Cropped? Buttons? Toggles? Long sleeves, or short sleeves? Sleeves at all? What's the collar like? Could even be a dress? You are generally as basic as it gets here and should be something you can be very active in.
Bottoms -- Skirt? Pants? Shorts? Culottes?
Gloves -- Got any?
Belt -- Belt? No belt?
Shoes -- What kind?
Shoulders -- Epaulettes? Shoulderpads? Bells? Whistles?
Accessories -- What kind? Pages and Squires cannot have capes, so please keep this in mind!
Weapon & Magic
Page Weapon: A small, cracked milk jug. It has the symbol of Pluto on the front.
Squire: A larger milk jug, no longer cracked, with a symbol of Pluto on the front.
When Dumuzi channels his magic, he swings his jug by the handle. Following the swing, in a 8ft radius, targets feel the sensation of being forced into solitude and will feel the sensation of deep loneliness. It feels like there is no one else around, and no one is there to hear, see, or assist them. This sensation may come with the illusory sensation that there is legitimately no one near them, even if there is, and depending on the will of the target, it may be hard to fight this off even if the target is being directly addressed. This magic lasts for 45 seconds.
Knight Weapon: An oversized milk jug. It now hangs from a pole.
When Dumuzi channels his magic, he taps the pole of his weapon into the ground. Following the tap, in a 12ft radius, targets feel the sensation of being forced into solitude and will feel the sensation of deep loneliness. It feels like there is no one else around, and no one is there to hear, see, or assist them. This sensation may come with the illusory sensation that there is legitimately no one near them, even if there is, and depending on the will of the target, it may be hard to fight this off even if the target is being directly addressed. This magic lasts for 45 seconds.

Hi Sei! Sorry for the delay in getting your stamp! I do have a few pieces of crit, but they're on the "you could make him stronger" side, so if you'd prefer not to do this, that's fine; however, at Squire, it would be totally okay for Dumuzi to have an 8ft radius or so instead of just "two targets", and you can probably up his Knight radius to ~12ft or so! Again, totally optional and if you prefer it the way it is, that's fine, but I thought I'd let you know!
