Name: Ziegfreud von Schrödinger
Gender: Male
Age: 19 years old
Birthday: September 17th
Sexuality: Heterosexual, Heteroromantic
Special Characteristics:
- Zieg’s body is not that of a true flesh and blood human, but rather that of an experimental homunculus built through the fusion of cutting edge magic prosthetic technology and state of the art alchemical magic spell & ritual technology. As such it is actually very fragile and prone to breakdown.
- Zieg's source of magic energy is a special miniature, but extremely powerful magical reactor embedded in his body at the center of his chest which looks like this:
- Zieg has a single large horizontally placed median 3rd eye on his forehead. The eye looks like this:
- Zieg’s head and neck are like those of an owl in form and function. He has additional cervical vertebrae and his head & neck joints are built such that they allow him to rotate his head and neck a full 270° in any of the major directions.
- Zieg's senses, his baseline mental prowess and physical ability and parameters have all been set to always equal the peak of human limits.
- On each of his two hands, there exist a pair of mouths (one on each hand) that are fully capable in both form and function (they contain all the parts that constitute a regular human oral cavity). However, the bite force, the durability, sharpness of the teeth, and other such characteristics therein have been set to always equal peak human condition. The hand mouths look like this:
- Zieg has an incredibly long tongue like that of a snake, chameleon, or frog. However, his tongue's thickness, strength, durability, etc. have been set to always equal peak human condition. The tongue looks like this:
- Due to a defect inherent to the alchemical manufacturing process that his creators used to make him, Zieg has oculo-cutaneous albinism. As a result, his natural hair color is pure white and his natural eye color is a bright crimson red hue. His red eyes look like this:
+Eye Powers Inactive:
However, when he uses his hidden ocular prowess, his eyes morph to look like this:
+Eye Powers Active
- The soul that has been sealed inside Zieg's humanoid homunculus body is that of an ancient dragon killing hero of Iceberg called Ciegfroyd von Schrödinger. As a result, anything reptilian doesn't like him very much and may even attack him on sight. However, he has no knowledge of the true nature of this soul implanted in his artificial body and is largely unaware of the fact that his body is not that of a flesh and blood human.
- At some point in the future, his upper torso will be engraved with an amalgam sigil composed of the symbols representing 4 different deities, 2 of whom cursed him and 2 who blessed him. The sigil looks like this:

Virtues:
Affable:
To all who don’t know him too well or have only met him a few times, Zieg may seem genuinely affable since he can almost always be seen wearing a cheerful smile on his face and welcoming those whom he meets into his social circle without much reservation. He can even be seen entertaining them from time to time with appropriate jokes and light banter about some topic of common interest or another. He also does not insist on formality from those whom he meets for the first time or from those in his acquaintance list and is willing to forgive and forget some modicum of insult to him. So he is fairly easy to approach for just about everyone.
However, unbeknownst to most people out there, this is all just one big act. He uses this as a means to draw the unwary and unsuspecting into his web. This is because he would then be able to use them for his own gain in one way or another. Usually this involves him trying to convince them to do the hard stuff in life on his behalf, solve his problems for him, or otherwise just do his dirty work for him. Usually, this friendly and approachable demeanor of his is so well calibrated in its use that people cannot usually be seen through unless they know him on an intimate level.
The only other occasion it may slip or crack, letting his real persona of the detached, lazy, manipulative jerk show is possible when he is in the presence of the kinds of women whom he fears most in the world (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past). In that kind of situation, since he would be caught off guard due to his fear of them. In these circumstances, even uf it is just for a mere few moments, his true colors can and will be visible for all to behold at least for a initial few encounters he has with them, regardless of what the audience's reactions to the revelation would be like in the aftermath.
Brave:
Even though, Zieg’s first instinct when faced with a scary or troublesome situation or person/people is to run away and hide till the danger has passed, if he truly is backed into a corner with no other way out of it, he won’t hesitate to fight tooth and nail to extricate himself from the problematic situation. The only other situation he would be willing to display his hidden bravery is if it is if he were needed to protect the few entities and things in his life that he considers precious to him, despite his tendency of being detached in his perspective.
In this situation, even though it may cost him dearly later on, he shuts out his fear and plunges himself headlong into the fray against the enemy/obstacle, and will fight almost till his dying breath using all the powers, skills, and items at his disposal if need be if it means keeping his near and dear and that which is precious to him safe from anything and anyone that wish to harm them. Of course, even this hidden brave side of him would fail him in the face of the sort of women who scare him the most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past). Due to his fear of them, he would then probably be vulnerable to being overpowered by them and suffer whatever sordid fate they have in store for him at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Cautious:
Zieg is a rather cautious man in most if not all situations. This is because ever since childhood, he has been taught to “look before you leap” as far. as possible. He has learned the hard way the consequences of not doing so by observing those around him in the past when he was a cabin boy under the command of his role model, the legendary pirate captain, “James the Swallow”. As a result, he has developed into a man who tends to be quite careful in his actions as far as possible.
To this end, he tries to be as prepared as possible before entering any given situation whether that means doing extensive research on the target or location he is going to be at, planting surveillance devices ahead of time either on his allies who may have gone ahead of him or at the actual location itself to monitor the situation or even on innocent bystanders whim. he has "recruited" to his cause, keeping track of everything that goes on around him as far as possible, especially whilst being in the thick of the present danger/trouble, or taking some other such measures to tilt the situation as much as possible in his favor either early on or gradually. This extends to his interactions with people in his life, especially the women since even more so than himself, he find them to be well nigh unpredictable.
To try to counter this, he tends to steer clear of anything in thought, word, or deed when around any women since he can never be sure what will set them off and what will not end up doing so. Therefore, as far as his abilities allow of him, he always makes sure to walk on eggshells around them, so to speak. Of course, if he is dealing with the kinds of women whom he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past), then due to the panic and fear he would feel, his usually cautious side would go out the window and he would end up making mistakes he would otherwise never make in any other situation at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Cool:
Zieg almost always has a collected, nonchalant expression on his face, especially when faced with a challenging situation or some other form of stress. This trait that allows him to resist the urge to panic and affords him the ability to keep a steady composure almost all the time has been very useful to him several times in the past and continues to come in handy even in the present and will keep doing so in the future. It is what lets him analyse the situation and find a way to clear the objectives quickly, effectively, and with very little hesitation if any at all.
That said, should he ever be in the presence of the types of women he is most terrified of in this world (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past), he would definitely lose his façade of tranquillity far more quickly than he would otherwise due to that fear they elicit in him at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Glib:
Zieg has had a wide ranging education throughout his academic career till present day. This curriculum was comprised not only of linguistics but also many other subjects as part of the liberal arts course of study his family has provided him with in his younger days. So, he has both an extensive vocabulary and some modicum of knowledge on just about every topic, and especially in the field of psychology that he can employ against others. He takes advantage of this by using clever wordplay to confound his targets so that they will hopefully be more susceptible to being manipulated by him. It is also useful for those occasions when he is entangled in a particularly troublesome situation with no other recourse other than his power of speech that would let him extricate himself from it just by talking his way out of it.
It also aids him when he is attempting to smooth talk his way into someone’s good graces (especially those of the women types he does not fear). Of course, should he be dealing with the kinds of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation, then his fear would cause his usually quicksilver tongue to falter, causing him to fumble in his attempts at smooth talking if only just a little and at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Shrewd:
Zieg can almost always see right through to the heart of any situation or problem he encounters, whether that be in his daily life or on any given mission. This allows him to guard against almost any potentially deceitful traps or webs that his enemies or targets may try to lure him into for whatever nefarious purpose they may have in store for him. It also means that he has the foresight to try to minimize the imminent trouble/hassle/headache to himself by pre-empting as many disadvantages in a given situation as possible by making the necessary preparations beforehand to whatever extent his abilities allow of him, most times before even entering the troublesome situation in question. This way, he can appear as though he needs to exert no effort and can solve whatever the problem is almost on a passing thought or whim. It also means he can conserve his energies for the quandaries that actually do matter in the long run.
The only time his perspicacity would be particularly hard pressed is if he were to be confronted by the kinds of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation, because in that case, his fear would cloud his aforementioned foresight if only to a small degree, thus making it harder for him to exert it at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Neutrals:
Comical:
Zieg absolutely loves to act like a total goof or even convincingly pretend to be a completely innocent, oblivious idiot with no situational awareness whenever and wherever he can plausibly do so, that is, whenever and wherever he can do so without much in the way of repercussion. However, as with his affable nature, this is just another useful tool in his arsenal that he finds indispensable for making others let down their guard around him and even underestimate him, if he is lucky.
This in turn means it is that much easier for him to either manipulate them as he sees fit or to strike them down outright, which would be something that may well go a long way towards accomplishing whatever directives he may be following in the situation at hand. However, this may come to be a downside since it can mean he may not be able to get people to take him seriously when it’s actually imperative for them to do so.
Furthermore, this façade is more likely to falter if only for a few moments when he is faced with the kinds of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation, because in that case, his fear would make it much tougher for him to exert it in order to try to fool them at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Dramatic:
Zieg has had extensive training in the theatrical arts (everything from perfect disguise to voice changing without magical items and everything in between) in his younger years when he had encountered a performing troupe while out on his adventures with his pirate captain, "James the Swallow". As a result, he can portray any kind of character (thus masking his true personality with this fake one). He can. usually do this in a manner which is almost always convincing enough that it would allow him to blend in with any group he needs to in order to accomplish his present objectives.
Unfortunately, this past has also means he is almost always predisposed to be overly dramatic in his introductions and gestures. He also prefers to build up a great deal of suspenseful tension in his audience before unveiling his plans to those around him. As a result, he can particularly irksome to any allies, at least when he is overcome by these tendencies.
Of course as with all his other abilities, this too may end up failing him at least for a few moments when he is faced with the kinds of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation, because in that case, his fear would make it much tougher for him to exert it in such a manner at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Flexible:
Zieg always looks remarkably relaxed and prefers to go with the flow of whatever situation that his life happens to send his way. This in turn means that he has the amazing capacity to adapt to almost any set of challenges and/or demands he may find himself face to face with and to work with almost whomever and/or whatever he needs to in order to resolve the situation and clear his directive along with the aforementioned challenges and meet the demands as well.
While this can be an excellent strength, it can also be a double edged sword. This is because he is almost always rubbed the wrong way by any sort of extremely strict and inflexible situations, rules, and/or people who are thrust upon him. Given this, he would most likely have problems working with such people or being under the thumb of such rules and regulations or situation and follow orders to the letter when it is actually imperative to do so.
Of course, like with his other qualities, this ability shows itself far less frequently if the ones whom he has to work with or those who are challenging him are the kinds of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation, because in that case, his fear would make it much tougher for him to exert himself in such a manner at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Vices:
Cowardly:
Despite his ability to be brave when it is essential for him to do so, Zieg is most often a coward whose first instinct when faced with a tough situation is to avoid it and circumvent it instead of facing it head on and resolving it by exerting himself. Of course, this trait really only shows itself when he is dealing with a female target or enemy (more so when it's the kind of women he fears most). In these cases, he is more likely to hesitate in his actions when facing such an opponent than when he has to confront a male one.
Due to certain situations in his past, he is now wary of certain women and or may end up hesitating for at least a few moments if faced with the kinds of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation, because in that case, his fear would make it a bit tougher for him to put on a brave face at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Detached:
Regardless of what’s happening around him r how emotionally tense the current situation he is dealing with is, Zieg can almost always maintain a dispassionate frame of mind and an objective perspective. In fact, he is so successful at being detached in most cases that most consider him to be almost apathetic due to the clinical way in which he approaches dealing with most given situations.
His heart, mind, and soul are quite immovable by even the strongest emotions such as hatred, rage, and fear, up to a certain threshold, of course. He almost always is able to act merely based on the advantages and disadvantages of a given situation. Therefore, he can almost never be made to act out of what the general populace and society would deem to be feelings of sympathy for others.
If someone wishes for him to lend them his aid, they must be clever in how they request his assistance. For instance, they would need to throughly explain their reasoning and lay out the benefits versus risks involved in their situation rather than trying to appeal to his “humanity”. This is a significant deficiency because this basically means he has a hard time showing empathy and any significant degree of welcoming, refreshing comfort towards others, regardless of the nature and intensity of their connection to him.
Of course, his virtually unshakeable psyche is more likely to get all shook up if he were to encounter a particularly troublesome opposing party, especially if it's the sort of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in any situation. This is because, in that case, his fear would cloud his judgement and obstruct his powers of reason, thus making it a bit tougher for him to remain dispassionately nonplussed and act solely based on logic at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Egocentric:
The first of what can arguably be considered Zieg’s three most notable personality traits is his highly self-serving nature. In almost everything he does, it is a sure bet that the end goal will be almost always beneficial either solely or mainly to him above all other parties involved in the issue. He almost never acts in any given situation without there being something of significant profit/value for him to gain when the situation is finally resolved in full, and the more exotic, amusing, and tangible the reward is, the higher the chances that he can be swayed to provide his services towards whatever needs to be done in that situation.
Despite how much he values them, he will never trust or love others as fully as he does himself, no matter the nature of that person or thing in question. In a situation where his life or welfare is likely to be in danger, he would be more likely to stay down and keep a low profile. He would even go as far as to abandon the possessions he has on his person if it means saving his own skin.
If it means being able to stay alive to fight another day and preserve his health and welfare, most of the time, he would even be willing to abandon his desire for freedom which is stronger than any of his other cravings and would be willing to bow before and serve the other party. Of course this would be only temporary, until he can find a way to turn the tables and successfully regain it. This is especially true if the other party happens to be the kind of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) in the situation at hand at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Indolent:
Zieg’s second most dominant trait is his tendency to be slothful in very nearly everything he does in a given situation. He does not like to exert himself and instead prefers to be as laid-back as he can plausibly be in that situation. He would be willing to use just about any excuse he can think of and means he can get his hands on to try to avoid exerting his energies, physical, mental, magical, or otherwise. This is especially true if his inherent predilection towards laziness has him in its clutches because in that case, despite the consequences, its is well nigh impossible to get him moving in order to accomplish whatever needs done in that particular situation. If he doesn’t feel like doing something he almost certainly will evade any attempts to get him to do it.
This is true even if doing so would most likely lead to him and/or any allies losing some major advantage or being defeated in a particularly crucial battle. If he ends up having to do it anyway, his sloth would cause him to choose that one path out of all the rest that is by far the easiest and least ridden with obstacles from start to finish since doing so would allow him to avoid overexertion of his abilities to their fullest extent.
As a result, in these types of situations and when his whims tell him to be a lazy ass, his work can very often be rather slipshod and lacking in any true substances. However, there are two saving graces for anyone who is seeking his aid and absolutely require him to get moving to help them, and those are: enticing him with something or someone that is sure to absolutely pique his interest and/or presenting before him the type of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) as his fear of them can force his hand in such a desperate situation at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Wily:
Zieg’s third most defining quality is his love of pranks and manipulation, whether that means maneuvering others to suit his master plan or taking his surrounding environment and molding it to suit his present needs. He adores being able to play tricks on others. Most of the time, he usually employs those that can most subtly and surely guide his enemies into defeating themselves if possible through the use of arts such as extremely convincing feints, multi-layered traps, and elaborate misdirections, all of which he can tailor to meet the specific or peculiar needs of his present circumstances by using his superior intellect and strategic acumen.
Generally speaking, unless they are unusually observant and/or quick on the uptake, the target of his trickery and manipulation won’t even realize that he is manipulating them, at least not until it’s too late and he has already achieved his goals in that situation. He especially favors those tricks that lead to his allies or other associates doing either all or at least 50-90% of his work for him so that he won’t have to lift even a single finger and yet can meet not only his primary objectives, but also any secondary ones if at all possible as often as possible.
This can be a major problem since it can mean he is alienated from others, particularly those who, like him, utterly abhor the idea of being used as pawns in a chess game on a board they cannot see in action. Of course, when it comes to the manipulation of his environment, he is of course mostly careful to eliminate all traces of his presence at the scene as far as possible, but if it ultimately lets him hold the goddess of winged victory in his arms at the end of the day, he won’t hesitate to change the environment to suit his needs, even if that involves dramatically changing the landscape in some permanent manner or another which could lead to his enemies detecting his presence there. The only exception to this is perhaps type of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past) as his fear of them often disables his ability to use them as pawns in his plans, at least for a initial few encounters he has with them.
Whimsical:
Despite all of what was described in his earlier traits, Zieg is very often at the behest of his whims which are quite erratic and well nigh unpredictable which of course makes him a rather eccentric man. For instance, even though he chooses to wear a mask of goodness and affection most times, there can be those few times that he actively chooses to visibly display his animosity towards someone or something. On these occasions, his gaze and voice become mercilessly steely and as ice cold as a blizzard in the deepest winter when this sort of mood possesses him.
Although he is most often cowardly and chooses to run away in all situations but those in which he is cornered perfectly, sometimes, even though the situation isn’t so dire, he chooses to be brave despite all odds and stands steadfast to defend his precious few things and people. Occasionally, depending on the specific circumstances, he wouldn't hesitate to completely throw his usually cautious nature to the wind and leap before he looks in that situation. If his whims demanded it of him, he would do this even if it means he would risk falling prey to whatever dangers that lie in wait for him. Then, once in a blue moon, even if there is nothing forcing him into it, he will willingly act with reckless abandon instead of calmly analysing all the angles and all the moves he can possibly make and choosing the best one of them all.
At other times, even though he is normally glib and can run verbal circles around just about anyone, he can make the most basic of errors in choosing his words, thus leading to him aggravating the audience into turning against him. Despite his astounding level of insight in most circumstances, he will at times actively choose to be totally oblivious to the mood of a given situation and refuse to see through any deception that the other party may try on him, causing him to fall prey to them more easily than he would otherwise.
He may be comical in most situations, but then he will turn around and shock others by being totally serious and somber in his reaction to whatever the situation might bring to his attention. Instead of keeping his audience waiting and letting the dramatic tension in them to peak before revealing his plans, he might just opt to do it without any such unecessarily theatrical preamble. Contrary to people’s expectations of him at times, instead of going with the flow, he may choose to strictly adhere to rigid rules and regulations even if that ends up causing him a whole lot of grief in the long run.
Now and then, instead of maintaining his detached frame of mind and style of operation based only on cold logic, he will give in to his emotions and let his actions be guided by them. He may even show an unexpectedly tender, almost loving side of him to another. He might also be driven to act in a way which most would consider to be almost altruistic despite the consequences such as extremely high personal cost and loss of chances of profiting from the situation.
While he loves being lazy, from time to time, a fierce, almost too intensely energetic mood may seize him making him pursue jobs or any other things he needs to do in a relentless manner which makes him seem almost manically possessed by the urge. Finally, in some instances, his whims may lead him to succumb to manipulation by others even though normally, he would rather be the puppet master than the marionette. In short, since he is so whimsical, it is near impossible to try to foresee what he will do at what time, and the only thing that can be known for sure is that no one cannot be sure what he will do next (other than those who know him most intimately).

Mythology:
Ever since childhood, Zieg has loved reading the various tales from mythologies of the various nations and cultures of Earthland and beyond since he finds they are quite entertaining and sometimes even teach him how to deal with the entities and phenomena therein should they ever bleed out of the realms of fantasy into the world of reality. Out of all the mythical entities out there, he especially loves studying, meeting, and perhaps even making alliances with monstergirls of all kinds. Out of all the monstergirls out there, he finds demonesses, high succubi, true vampires, catgirls, foxgirls, elves, goddesses, aliens, "water type" monstergirls (e.g. slimegirls and mermaids) as well as a few other types to be most entertaining due to their beauty as well as physical and magical prowess which he finds are especially superlative, and more importantly, endlessly useful to him. This is eseocially true if they happen be Midian in origin. The only reason why he wouldn't find himself liking them is if they happen to be the type of women he fears most (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past).
Mysteries & People Watching:
One of Zieg’s many pastimes is watching the world around him and the people and other entities in it. He finds that it has the dual benefit of not only keeping his mind sharp, but also of giving him valuable information he can use against them on some occasion or another should the situation call for him to do so. He especially likes mysteries for that same reason (the more elaborate, the better), because they allow him to practice the twin arts of observation and deduction to his heart’s content so that when he really does have need of them, they will come naturally and effortlessly to him.
Games:
Another one of Zieg’s favorite hobbies is playing games of all kinds with all sorts of people, especially if they are from Midia. This is because he finds them useful not only for keeping his strategic acumen alive and kicking, but also for getting inside their heads and learning how they think or why they would take certain actions and respond in certain ways to various stimuli presented to them. He finds it is also a good way to break the ice should all his other strategies fail him. His most favorite games are those that involve some form of gambling since those give him a sense of thrill like no other.
Exotic Food & Drink:
Since Zieg has travelled to a wide variety of places in Earthland whilst with his erstwhile captain, the legendary pirate, “James the Swallow”, he has developed an extensive and discerning palate. As a result now, he loves to taste food and drink from all over Earthland, his most favorite cuisine and drinks being those from Midia, and among them ramen and other kinds of noodle dishes because the nature of the noodles and the variety of things used in the broth and the toppings leads to there being a “party in his stomach” which makes him truly feel alive, every time. Actually, one of his favorite things to do is comparing the various kinds of noodle dishes. So, he always makes sure to have time to sit down for a noodle dish, whether alone or with someone else. When it comes to fruits, any exotic dishes made from watermelons and other juicy fruits are especially tantalizing to him.
Among the drinks, he especially loves alcoholic ones, the stronger and more exotic tasting, the better in his humble opinion. This is because he finds them to be a way to not only relax after a long day, but also to wash away his sorrows and worries when he finds them to be particularly troublesome. He also likes them because he can use them to loosen people’s tongues to get valuable information from them about whatever he needs to in a given situation.
Reading & Writing:
Ever since childhood, Zieg has been an avid bookworm and amateur writer, especially of literature involving themes from Midia. He finds that books can have valuable information on a variety of subjects which gives him a potential topic with which to connect to people and win their trust so he can lower their guard and then move in to snatch them up as marionettes. He finds that should he need to research any given topic, he can find some valuable clues in the vast library owned by his family, one that is unrivalled by any other, at least to his knowledge anyway. He usually has these uploaded to his iLac magic smartphone that he carries around with him. He also has kept a steady journal of his day to day activities, at first because he was ordered to do so by his “parents” and the magical scientists of the Schrödinger clan’s R&D branch.
Now he does it of his own accord since he finds it to be a valuable tool to help organize his thoughts into proper form when he needs to do so in order to notice patterns, discrepancies, and the like. He also finds that being a travelling writer not only allows him to have an additional income source on the side should he need some quick source of pocket change, but is also quite useful in deflecting suspicion as to his true intentions when he has to infiltrate a certain land or another, most of the time anyway.
Adventuring & Exploration:
Since he has served as a cabin boy under the command of his role model, the legendary pirate captain, “James the Swallow”, Zieg has been able to go on a variety of different and thrilling adventures across a lot of territories in Earthland, especially the ones with port cities. As a result, in the present day, one of his favorite things to do is to go on adventures, the more varied and exotic the better, because they allow him to continually meet new people and have ever newer experiences, thus enriching his life and allowing him to feel more like a “person” like those around him. He also finds it useful for forging new alliances and bonds with people, especially if he notices they have something may end up being useful to him or just something that piques his interest because should he need to later on, he can maybe call on their assistance in the resolution of the issue at hand.
Manipulation & Teasing of Others:
Zieg is a incorrigible prankster and puppet master at heart. He loves nothing more than playing practical jokes on others and teasing them to a moderate degree, both for his own mirth and entertainment as well as for allowing him to potentially lower their guards when in his presence. This is because once he has lowered their guards, they become much easier targets for having them dance to his tunes and making into willing, but unwitting pawns to do the heavy lifting in any given situation for him, thus saving him the highly irksome effort of exerting himself.
Laziness:
Zieg is well aware of the most annoying of the defects inherent to his homunculus body, that is, the one which would make him quite literally fall to pieces if he were ro truly exert the full extent of his magical prowess. That’s one of the reasons why he loves being slothful so much. It conserves his energy for more important things and keeps his defect from being too crippling to his body. More importantly though, he loves being lazy because it allows him to take it easy and just watch the rest of the people around him scurry around in the hubbub that is their daily lives, and this is something which he finds to be very entertaining and highly amusing to no end, so much so it’s almost like a powerful, addictive drug to him.
Women:
Since he was designed to be a heterosexual male humanoid homunculus, Zieg was of course programmed to be attracted to women to emulate the nature of other biological human males. Since he has travelled the world and met all kinds of women, he finds those that are highly intelligent (enough to match wits with him), those who are physically strong, and those who have the right amount of curves in all the right places. His attraction them would be esoecially strong if they also happened to be the kinds of monstergirls thst are most interesting to him. Of course, he would only be attracted to them if they aren’t troublesome nags, micro-managing busybodies or the type of women he fears most (at least in most instances).
Dislikes:
- Spoiler:
Prejudice:
Zieg abhors those who would presume to judge others solely based on their species, their economic situation, and other things they cannot help about themselves because he finds that this leads people to fear what they do not understand and that fear would cause them to persecute those that are different and in his opinion, this is something one should never do no matter what.
Being Nagged & Controlled:
Zieg loathes those who would nag him and try to control him because that would mean a deprivation of his freedom that he wishes to maintain as far as possible. He doesn’t like to be nagged because he prefers to take life at his own pace and having someone constantly breathing down his neck and criticizing him annoys the hell out of him.
Bullies & Needlessly Violent People:
While he isn’t a straight laced goody two shoes by any stretch of the imagination, since he was bullied, persecuted, and even beaten up for being different (aka homunculus instead of human) in his school days during his younger years, Zieg has come to hate bullies and those who would needlessly beat up on others, especially if it is for their own entertainment (outside of an actual mission objective). So, if he sees such a situation unfolding before him, unless the bully happens to be far stronger than himself (3 or more ranks above him), he would probably be motivated to go and stop them from. harassing the victim (Of course afterwards, he would ask the victim for something in return for his help, especially if the victim called out to him first).
Waiting Too Long:
To Zieg, time is precious and even though he fully realizes, appreciates, and even practices the slow and steady approach, he does have his limits. If something or someone takes too long, it will probably get on his nerves and lead him to take over and do whatever it is that needs doing himself or at least find a way to expedite the process and cut the wait time down as far as possible.
Adversity:
While he isn’t some delicate and finicky man who can’t endure adversity, there is a threshold beyond which Zieg wouldn’t be willing to tolerate having to endure it. This is because beyond a certain point, he would need to actively exert himself in order to withstand the demands the adverse situation would place on him and this is something he despises because having to exert himself needlessly would be a waste of his precious energy stores and may potentially make him vulnerable to physically falling to pieces. One of the types of adversity he hates the most is climatic extremes (too hot or too cold). Even though he can certainly tolerate it if he truly wanted to, the thought of all the tedious work that would go into resisting such extremes is something he finds too troubleome.
Weakness:
Zieg has seen what being weak can lead to in the past. So now, he has come to hate the thought of being weak himself and of seeing weakness in others because he finds that gives others something to exploit for their own gain and lessens the survivability of the weak individual in question. Of course, that said, he will never persecute the weak for their weakness [at least not outside of an actual mission objective].
Motivations:
- Spoiler:
Power:
Since Zieg has seen the kinds of trouble that a lack of adequate power can bring, in the present day, he continually craves greater and great heights of power so that he won’t succumb to the same fate as did the allies he had in the past and also because it would allow him to continue being a pirate captain and help in his goal of protecting anything and anyone precious to him.
Freedom:
Another thing Zieg likes to maintain if at all possible is his freedom since it would allow him to enjoy his life to the fullest in every sense of the word. He craves it especially because it would let him travel extensively, meet all kinds of people, and make useful alliances all over the place that he can call on in his hour of need. Most importantly, it's because having an extensive degree of freedom would make it much easier for him to continue being a pirate captain which is one of his lifelong dreams. Of course if he is ever forced to choose between between his life and his freedom, he would be willing to give up his freedom if it means he can ensure his survival. This renunciation of his freedom would only be temporary since he would use it as a means of tactical retreat that would allow him to have time to plan and execute his escape from his confinement and the eventual reclamation of his freedom.
Wealth:
Since Zieg comes from a wealthy family, he has grown up around it all his life. As a result, now he absolutely adores any form of it whether that be knowledge, territory, magic and magic items, exotic cuisine, fine alcohols, or the actual monetary kind since having an abundance of it means he has a lot more options when dealing with any given situation and can maintain his exotic lifestyle more easily. He also wants it simply because that’s one of the things pirates are meant to chase during their adventures, especially since he happens to be a pirate captain. He also craves wealth of all kinds since it would help in his goal of protecting those precious to him.
Magic R&D:
Zieg craves all kinds of knowledge but especially of magic, and someday, he wants to get to the very heart of it if possible. He craves to continually experiment with and master all sorts of different spells so that he can have a variety of different options from which to choose when on missions or in other situations where he needs his magic. He also wants this knowledge so that it would help him counter the spells that others would undoubtedly throw at him and thus increase his overall survivability and maintain his power as a pirate captain and help in his goal of protecting anything and anyone precious to him.
Protection & Aiding of His Precious Ones:
Zieg wishes to safeguard all that which he holds dear, even if he doesn’t value them over his own life and welfare because they can still prove very useful to him should he encounter a situation where his own abilities aren’t up to the task at hand. It is also because through them, he can learn and grow to become more “human” over the course of his lifespan as a homunculus. He wishes not only to protect them, but also to help them whenever they need his assistance with whatever challenge they may be facing in their lives because then, they may just be more inclined to help him in turn when he needs them.
Harem King:
One of Zieg’s greatest life ambitions is to one day acquire a moderate harem full of all kinds of monstergirls from all around Earthland and even from the various dimensions beyond it if possible not only because he happens to adore monstergirls of all types, but also because they might just have abilities that will come in handy for him in one situation or another. This is especially true of any monstergirls who are from Midia.
Fears:
- Spoiler:
Death:
Like most people, somewhere deep down Zieg also has the fear of death since that would mean a permanent end to all his hopes and dreams and also since he wouldn’t be around to protect and help that which is most precious to him.
Enslavement:
Zieg fears being tied down and having his freedom taken away from him because that would mean he won’t be able to pursue his goal and engage in the enjoyment of his hobbies.
Memory Loss:
Zieg fears losing his memories because then he has made many that have taught him valuable lessons over the course of his life thus far and also because it may end up distancing him from that which is precious to him.
Clowns & Dolls:
Ever since he was a kid, Zieg has been deeply afraid of clowns and dolls but this fear is more of a visceral one, something that he cannot put into words and attach any sort of logic to even if he were pressed to do so.
Women:
While Zieg can at least tolerate if not enjoy being around most women (especially those of his type), there are those that he does fear (e.g. those who fear men, those who are needlessly violent, and those whom he has run afoul of in the past). This is because he finds these three types to be highly unpredictable and so his logic and stratagems would be almost totally worthless against them.
Poverty:
Zieg dreads the thought of being poor, whether this be in terms of power, wealth, knowledge, or even something more abstract since this may end up leaving him vulnerable to undue influence by others and hamper his pursuit of his life goals.
