APPEARANCE
Species:Roman Demigod
Hair: brown
Eyes: green

Stature:athletic
Clothing style: Zephyr likes to wear loose fitting clothing but yet not too baggy that it will hinder his movements. He chooses most of his clothing for function rather then fashion and doesn't care if things don't exactly match. He likes to go bare-foot whenever he can though and he doesn't mind since his feet are riddled with calluses.

Likes: gambling, martial arts, star gazing, food, running, baseball
Dislikes: Losing, thunderstorms, cloudy nights, betrayal, incompetence, bad cooking, being stuck inside
Strengths: acrobatic, quick on his feet, Kung Fu, his speed, high stamina
Weaknesses: Sweets, Overconfident at times, gambling, bit of a show-off
Fears: Not being able to fight, losing someone he cares about, dying alone
Weapons: dagger of imperial gold with a small wing and the letter 'Z' etched into the hilt that he carries on his belt at all times. He also has a spear that's tipped with imperial gold and retracts to half it's size to easily fit on his back and not limit his movements.
Fighting Style style: Zephyr uses what training he learned from kung fu as a boy in his fighting style. He is very light on his feet as well and likes to get in close to his opponent strike quickly and then get out as fast as he possibly can. He learned how to use a long staff in his kung fu training and uses those techniques when fighting with his spear occasionally. When not using his weapons he will use his fists which are just as effective on mortals as his weapons are on monsters
Overall:
Zephyr is a friendly guy in ways but he's also very dedicated to his work and training. He is quite competitive and how low tolerance for mediocre even from himself. He's overconfident in his skills some times but usually he can back his words up because he puts forth the time and effort. He is quick and agile on his feet and quite athletic. He hates to be indoors when he could be outdoors being active. Zephyr enjoys sports that keep him active but isn't the best at something that requires a lot of preplanned strategy. Zephyr can sometimes be mistaken for a child of Mars because of his dedication to training, but as soon as you see him fight with his swiftness and 'teleportation' abilities all thoughts are gone.
Although Zephyr has a sweet tooth and loves to snack he exercises quite a lot that it doesn't matter all that much. Although he likes to move around he can be calm and sit still relaxed especially if he's able to stare at the stars at night. Another one of Zephyr's flaws is that he has a gambling and betting problem. He also can't seem to back down from a challenge. When training with others he sometimes has the tendency to show off but will stop if it's blatantly pointed out to him. He likes to have fun as well and can be easy to get along with as long as your not trying to have a competition with him. Zephyr is pretty loyal to his allies and friends and wouldn't think of even once double crossing them without a very good reason.
HISTORY
Born: May 3rd
Homeland:San Diego, California
History:
Zephyr was born in San Diego, California and raised by his single mom and her sister, Zephyr's aunt. Zephyr at a young age had a bit of a temper problem. He hated that kids picked on him and that he didn't have a dad or a father figure in his life. Although he was surrounded by plenty of love with his mother and aunt it wasn't enough for him sometimes especially when he would go to the park and see a father and son playing catch together. He wanted that with all his heart. Zephyr was always an active child who loved to be outside but struggled with staying inside and studying. His mom and aunt put Zephyr into sports at first and although Zephyr loved them it always made him sad to look over into the stands and see all the other fathers cheering for their kids and he only had either his mother or aunt since they could never both show up to his games since one always had to work.
When he was nine his aggressive temper started to become a problem so they decided to put him into martial arts to try to help with that since he was getting into trouble at school and picking fights. Zephyr excelled in Kung Fu. Zephyr enjoyed this too and advanced quickly through the system. It did help with his temper as it taught him how to calm his mind and focus his energy and power. With all the skills he was learning his performance at school got better and he didn't pick fights with the other kids anymore. Zephyr's mother and aunt were so proud of him for the change and control he had gained.
Zephyr was thirteen when something told him to go to the Wolf house and when Lupa found him and took him away to be trained and prepared to see if he would be admitted to Camp Jupiter for she believed he was old enough. Zephyr was confused at first and unsure of what was going on but he proved he was worthy to Lupa who took him to the camp where he was sorted into cohort five and put under Probatio. Zephyr hated being Probatio and was treated horribly but because of Zephyr's martial arts training he let them do what they wished and worked hard to prove his worth. His first year of service was almost up when he proved his worth with an act of Valor in the war games and his father actually showed up and claimed him being very proud. That was the first time Zephyr realized why he had suffered without a father for all those years it was to make him stronger.

RP Sample:
Zephyr had gotten up early this morning before some of the others in his Cohort. The Centurion of his Cohort didn't seem to mind if he got up before the others and did extra training in fact the Centurion applauded him for it once when he was found out about. The Centurion of his Cohort was impressed about Zeph's dedication and that even after training by himself for so long in the morning, Zephyr could still keep up with the rest of the Cohort's training afterwards. Zephyr was pretty sure he was a shoe-in to be the next Centurion of his Cohort when the current one either retired or stepped down. Zephyr wanted it. He was ambitious enough to try and work to get it as well but he didn't plan on stopping there. It wasn't that he wanted the power it was that he mainly wanted the respect that came with it.
He remembered the days that he was on Probatio, before he proved his worth just short of year of service. He had hated the way the other legionnaires treated him while on Probatio but had known his place even back then. Now that he was a full fledged legionnaire himself he didn't treat the other Probatios the way he had been treated but he only showed them the little respect they earned. In his mind, respect was not a right it was earned.
Zephyr was out on the Field of Mar training with his spear early in the morning before the other legionnaires were awake. It was quiet and peaceful and the only sounds that could be heard were the swoosh of his spear cutting through the wind, his breathing and sometimes the footfalls of his bare feet. He'd left his shoes over on the side as he didn't feel like wearing them. Training in peace like this helped calm Zephyr's thoughts as well. He had a lot on his mind since all the things he had heard about.
