Birthday: 01/16
Sexuality: Bi
Special Characteristics: Tsavek is heavily tattooed and pierced. -Most- piercings are scattered across his face as follows: A pair of amethyst spider bites on the left side of his lower lip, a small steel septum ring, a medium sized bone gauge in each earlobe, three bronze eyebrow bars in his left brow and two cobalt bars in his right, a bright platinum chin spike, three ivory helix piercings in his left ear, and finally a series of progressively smaller bridge piercings cast out of silver.
Tattoos: Though he has far more ink wreathing his body than what's outlined here, the more noteworthy examples include a vertically pointing serrated dagger on the back of his neck, dripping with what looks to be venom before curling into dense black smoke. After that, there's a series of tiny, cartoonish skeletons banding around his waist in a jovial dance. Finally, and most significantly, Tsavek has a bright, gently pulsating silver sleeve design going all the way from his shoulder and neck area to the tips of his fingers. It's made out to be a jagged tribal thorn design, twisting around in endless knots until it nears his wrist, where it then transitions into an anatomically correct, cracked skeletal hand covering his own.

Personality: OOB: Tsavek's general demeanor could best be summed up as intensely reclusive. He gravitates toward the fringes of most rooms, opting to study or people watch as opposed to actually approaching anyone. To onlookers, he may seem unfriendly, cold even, though this is truthfully not the case. Tsavek possesses a constant, nagging fear of disappointing others or being otherwise judged, and as such has developed extreme nervous tendencies if he feels socially overwhelmed. That being said, if anybody is persistent enough to actually sit down and have a chat with the guy, it becomes shockingly clear that he's actually a very mellow, laid back individual. He tends not to pass personal judgement onto others, actually somewhat lacking in a moral compass. If he's ever directly addressed in a manner he feels is insulting, Tsavek will instinctively resort to intense passive aggression. Tsav tends to be that cheeky bastard who always seems to be the one pointing out the most obvious flaw in an otherwise grand and convoluted scheme. He prefers to keep things simple if possible, but does in fact possess a keen philosopher's intellect if a creative solution is the only possbility. He never was the type to be loaded down with an abundance of friends, instead cultivating several closer relationships over a long period of time. Tsavek is notoriously difficult to pin down if anybody's ever on the lookout for him, as he has the uncanny tendency to blend into the woodwork wherever he so chooses. Given his reasonably quiet personality, Tsavek is able to fit in just about anywhere with relative ease, so long as he keeps to the borders of the group. All in all, Tsav is a pretty groovy guy if you give him a chance to prove it.

IB: Whenever Tsavek is in a combat situation, it's as if someone flips a lockdown switch in his brain. No snarky witticisms, no talking back or sarcastic quips. Instead, he becomes an unfeeling, stone faced tool of cold, focused precision. He will talk very little if at all, and he cares for nothing other than walking away from the situation with his dignity intact. He finds it extremely difficult to take orders from others whenever he's like this, and will only listen to others, no matter their station, if they have personally earned his respect. No nonsense, iron-willed, and straight to the point. Tsav considers people who announce their plans of attack or otherwise make their presence on the battlefield more obvious than it needs to be to be completely irredeemable fools, and generally refuses to associate with them. The most important thing in the world to him at times like these is proving himself superior to his foes, and tends to beat himself up over a loss more than most people would due to his overwhelming sense of pride.Regardless, no matter how prideful he becomes, Tsavek has always known better than to let his confidence mold itself into arrogance, and thinks just as poorly of those who oversell their abilities as he does those who possess no inherent combat strategy whatsoever.

Likes:

• Reptiles - Tsavek holds a great love for all things cold and scaly, having had several reptilian pets as a child. He carries his python around with him most places.
  
• Cold weather - Completely contradictory to his enthusiasm for cold-blooded animals, Tsavek greatly enjoys cold and snowy environments, often keeping his windows open in the midst of a snowstorm.
  
• Singing - Though he rarely flaunts this generous natural gift, Tsavek is a very talented singer, possessing a wispy, almost ethereal voice.
  

Dislikes:

• Pushy People - Himself being a very relaxed and laid back person, it irks Tsavek to no end when somebody tries to shove their views down anothers' throat, be it him or anyone else. He simply does not condone this preachy behavior.
  
• Braggarts - Tsav possesses nothing but vicarious embarrassment for these loudmouthed showboaters, and wishes to play no part in their sad, puffed up little lives.
  
• General Rudeness - Tsavek does not tolerate rudeness to any large degree. Sure, he understands that some people tend to be brisk with others, but he also understands there's a fine line between being blunt and being an ass.  
  

Motivations:

• Of course, magical improvement - The entire reason Tsavek decided to pursue the path of the mage was to attain mastery over his school of magic. Though it's a simple goal, it's by no means an easy one.
  
• Respect - Tsavek is chiefly driven by a desire to be looked up to by his peers, and taken seriously as a wizard. He'll thereby take any reasonable opportunity to showcase his skill, within some boundaries.
  
• Fellowship with Wizards - Even though Tsavek tends to experience fairly strong social anxiety, he never would've gotten involved in magical studies if it weren't for the tight-knit community of mages that permeate the magical world. After all, where else is such a strange guy expected to find friends?
  

Fears:

• Sleeping, as a rule. Tsavek suffers from crippling paranoia, and thus finds it difficult to relax and get a good night's rest.
  
• Judgement - Tsavek is irrationally terrified of being judged negatively by his peers, even if he doesn't like them or value their opinion.
  
• Extreme Claustrophobia - Tsavek absolutely refuses to step into a space in which he can't fully spread his arms without touching a wall. Bonus points if it's underground.
  

General Appearance


Height: 5'2"
Weight: 112 lb
Hair: Tsavek's hair is dyed a deep, glossy violet, along with several streaks of white along the side. It's slightly lower than shoulder length, with one side of it usually covering his right eye. It seems a tad thin and floppy, most likely due to stress caused by his insomnia.
Eyes: Predominantly steely grey, with a minor purple tint.
Skin Tone: Ghostly, pale tone, somewhat sickly. Almost luminescent in the right light.

Appearance: Tsavek is quite the diminutive specimen, standing at a meager 5'2", though he's quite the sprightly fellow as well, moving with graceful, deft strides. On first glance, many people would probably assume he's much younger than he is, imagining him to be an adolescent or younger. His hair is usually lazily parted to the right, and he tends to stick a loose-fitting grey beanie on top of it to constitute some stylistic effort on his part. His build is extremely slight, though he possesses a reasonable amount of wiry muscle for his size. He's unexpectedly strong given his thinness, though he rarely finds any use for this trait. Tsavek carries himself with a drooping, apathetic posture, eyes usually half-lidded and idly scanning the rooms he's inhabiting. As mentioned earlier, Tsavek is adorned with a plethora of tattoos and piercings. His go to outfit consists of baggy, chain adorned grey cargo pants that are a mite too long, sinking a ways over his floppy shoes. He's then either wearing a plain, form fitting tank top on its own, or layered underneath a ragged, brown leather trench coat. Three outstanding features that stick out from the rest are his teeth, nails, and...tail. If he's ever caught in a particularly wide grin, an onlooker would be able to note his thin, elongated top canine teeth, along with pointed, sharpened nails that he keeps routinely ground to a tip. Lastly, Tsavek is blessed (?) with a furred, jet black tail reminiscent of a monkey's greatly aiding his coordination and agility.
