Freckled shoulders, though it's usually covered by a shirt. Wears a pendant of his emblem.
Plain white t-shirt, layered with a navy-green army surplus jacket that has his emblem embroidered on the back. The sleeves are usually rolled up to the elbows. Dark jeans are usually worn, though sometimes he goes for tan cargo pants.
Serious and determined, but encouraging and comradely.
Being born a Cement Elemental, Zi already had it tough learning to control his abilities. But unfortunately, he was also diagnosed with a rare condition that affects about 5.2% of all elementals, which causes him to get serious migraines whenever he uses his abilities. It can be treated through medication and training with your elemental powers, and Zi trains every day to become stronger and overcome his condition (as well as takes his meds every morning).
Zi has a tendency to be too trusting and a bit loose-lipped, often oversharing without realizing.
Zi lived in a very conservative community for most of his life and often finds it difficult to overcome his distrust and general discomfort with Chimeran as well as the LGBTQ+ community. He still makes an effort to become friends with them, however, and being around them in his adult life is helping him learn that everyone is a person, just like him.
Always hungry. Bottomless stomach to the max.
Compulsively trains in Cement-bending, though doing that for long stretches at a time or too intensely causes him to get unbearable migraines. In an attempt to find another hobby, he's taken up freerunning with Vaxen Kohza when he can (and when Vaxen lets him).
Zi uses a very efficient and minimalistic fighting style. He tries his best to disarm or incapacitate his opponents using his unique style of using his compact dual handguns to simultaneously attack his opponent as well as break apart cement surroundings. If he doesn't defeat his opponent by the time he runs out of bullets, he'll make use of the broken cement particles by grabbing them using Cement-bending and shooting them at just below Mach 3 towards his target. If he didn't break up enough of his surroundings or doesn't have his handguns, he'll resort to crushing cement near him, preferably around his feet, and then spreading them around his person before launching the particles.
Zi was diagnosed at a young age with a rare condition that affects about 5.2% of all elementals, which causes him to get serious migraines whenever he uses his abilities.
Zi grew up in a conservative community and thus has a sense of discomfort with Chimeran and the LGBTQ+ community. He's working to overcome that, as he's surrounded by those types of people every day in his adult life.

Zi absolutely adores his twin compact handguns, which are small enough to store within jean pockets.
