Zarex the Hyena

This is an article about Zarex the Hyena, a character created by Frost the Wolf on 09/30/2015.



Appearance
Zarex is a three foot, six inch tall spotted hyena with sleek, messy black hair. The front part of his hair is done up in a spikey fashion, protrouding forwards, while the rest of his hair is kept shorter. His irises are a deep shade of emerald green, and his muzzle is a tanish color. His fur is primarily a dull shade of red with black spots speckled all over his body. His head has no spots, however. His chest fur is white with no spots on it.

His attire can vary, but he is usually seen wearing his trademark black vest with an ammunition bandollier going around one shoulder and his torso. In addition, he has two sword sheaths criss-crossed across his back, and on each hip he has a holster for small caliber firearms. He also has sports tape wrapped around his forearms and his legs, with black, fingerless gloves on his hands. Finally, he wears a pair of black, steel-toed boots and has a sheath for a knife tied to his left leg.

Personality
Zarex is as arrogant and overconfident as one could expect. He believes himself to be the strongest, greatest, and most good-looking mercenary in the history of mercenaries, and anyone who says otherwise can go suck a lemon. He has a tendency to look down on others who aren't like him, particularly those who appear "nerdy" or "geeky" in appearance. He has an overinflated view of himself, and believes himself to be the posterboy of awesomeness. He will even go so far as to refer to himself in the third person on occasions. In combonation with his arrogant demeanor, he also has a distinct disregard for moral ethics. Just about anything that earns him the payday is acceptable in his sight. In addition, he has a tendency to scoff at people who hold fast to a moral code, mocking them and everything they stand for or believe in.

Zarex is also an adrenaline junkie. He thrives on action. Because of this, Zarex is incredibly reckless and brash, often prefering to shoot first and ask questions never. Even when he isn't shooting his guns, he may shoot off smart aleck retorts and jump the gun, often getting himself into trouble when it comes to dealing with other people. This isn't to say that the hyena can't plan ahead. When he wants to, he can focus on long term objectives and keep his usually gung-ho nature moderately in check. As expected of a mercenary, money, wealth, and fame are his key motivators. If there is profit to be made, Zarex will get in on it, and do whatever he thinks will get him richer.

Zarex may also be a bit emotionally and/or mentally unstable, as he seems to occasionally suffer from sudden moodswings and spontaneous actions. Whenever he has a "spontaneous episode", gunfire and explosions are usually a part of it. Sociopathic tendencies are also present, as he appears to have no second thoughts about attacking or even killing others to get what he wants, even people he allied himself to and innocents. However, such actions are not too terribly common.
