NOMEN. Zion Angelopoulos
AEVUM. 24/January, 25 years old.
NATIONIS. Greece
HOUSE. STAFF -- Full-time cooking teacher and form teacher at Olympus Academy

████████████████████▓▓▓▒▒░ APPEARANCE ░▒▒▓▓▓██████████████████████

EYE. Quite dark, but in the right light they can appear to be yellow/brown.
Height/Weight.188cm / 70kg
CORPUS. Mr Angelopoulos is not particularly handsome, however he doesn't have any offensive features on his face to make him appear unattractive either. He always has a tired appearance, making him look older than he really is. But his hair is scruffy and carefree, giving him the appearance of a student at times. Nearing his middle aged years, Zion looks like your average working class guy. He's young, but shows signs of aging in his receding hairline, poor vision and slightly hunched posture. He's on the tall side and lean as well because his job at a school for super powered children demands some degree of physical fitness. He has brown eyes and little to note about them, and a limited amount of expressions it seems, pushing him closer towards uncanny valley rather than normal human being. (as far as normal goes for the academy anyways.)

APPAREL. Despite the fact that he works at a boarding academy, you won't find him in casual clothes, ever - he prefers suits appropriate to his line of work. Perpetually wearing a suit and tie gives him an air of authority, and he likes it that way.


████████████████████▓▓▓▒▒░ PERSONALITY ░▒▒▓▓▓██████████████████████
DISMISSIVE, STANDOFFISH, MEAN, PLAIN,
WITH JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR.


VOCIS. a stern deep voice, little variation.
LIKES. cabbage, booze, jazz music,
DISLIKES. writing test papers, pineapple, wasting food and resources, rain, drama.
STRENGTHS. His very skilled at handling kitchen utensils. Especially knives.
WEAKNESSES. Lives in fear of succumbing to the Rage.
ANIMUS.
When you go to school you have a vision in your mind about the teachers. Math is going to be the scariest. Science is going to be fun loving and let you do all these exploding experiments. Cooking teachers are supposed to be these nice motherly women who teach you how to bake cookies and let you lick the spoon..... But... Zion is far from motherly.
He is blunt, serious, and doesn't take nonsense from anybody. He does let you bring notes into the exam, however they are notorious for being insanely difficult even with them. If you were sick, he gave you a pile of make-up work to catch up. He won't let you leave his class even if you were having an allergic reaction to peanuts. Why the hell did you eat the damn peanuts in the first place? And don't even think about using the 'dog ate my homework' line on him.

One thing you can count on is that he doesn't pick favorites in his class, everyone starts out the same -- disliked. This doesn't mean he's unfair though. As far as teachers go, Zion is very fair. He is even willing to work with you as long as you put in the effort. He won't hold it against you if you get sick, he'll give you extra credit if you ask for it, and he'll allow you to miss class if you were, you know, saving the world. He'll even stand there and help you put the finishing touches on your cake. But don't expect him to be nice about it. 'Nice' and 'Zion Angelopoulos' are seldom used in the same sentence.

Though Zion seems a little intimidating at first, he's actually very considerate and dependable.... for most things.. He is fiercely protective of the kids entrusted to his care, for one. Mess with them within earshot, and you'll find yourself with a butter knife in your eye. Treat him with respect and he'll reciprocate, in his own way. But talk back to him and swear in his class, you'll be out the door with an F before you can say 'I'm sorry!! I messed up!!' It is said among his students that he is a malfunctioning robot, programed to teach cooking on account of no other member of staff wanted to teach such a sissy subject. Some have even mistaken his given name Zion as "zero one" thinking its some sort of binary.

Sometimes he does things that seem humorous to his students, but when he is actually trying to be funny it... just doesn't work. His 'dad jokes' will make you cringe.
Also, don't challenge him to a drinking contest. Zion can drink most people under the table.

AMOR. Straight. When it comes to women, Zion is somewhat indifferent. His average looks doesn't exactly turn heads and being devoted to his job gives him little time to pursue a proper relationship.

██████████████████████▓▓▓▒▒░ RECORDS ░▒▒▓▓▓██████████████████████

PARENTIS.
Father: Syprus Angelopoulos, Your honest working class man, no powers. The Syrus bloodline lays dormant within him and oblivious.
Mother: Rhea Papadopolou, seems to have powers herself but the nature of which is a bit of a mystery. It is assumed she was able to awaken something in Enyo, but whether that was the result of her powers or her manipulative personality is unclear.
Grandfather: Syrus Angelopoulos, knows of the legend of Syrus and sees the sudden activation of the powers in this generation as a sign of troubling times to come. He is the person who guides Zion and enables him to control his abilities.

CRUOR. Agatha, Gorgia, and Enyo.

CLICK THE WHOLE STORY


████████████████████████▓▓▓▒▒░ POWER ░▒▒▓▓▓█████████████████████████

POWER INFLUENCE: BLOOD LINE
Son of Syrus Having descended from a bloodline blessed by an Syrus, Zion possesses a number of supernatural abilities such as enhanced strength, stamina, and speed. At his upper limit he can lift cars and match Olympic-level athletes for speed and endurance. He's more durable than a normal human being, but still vulnerable to the same things that can harm or kill one. Because the blood of Syrus quite literally courses through Zion' veins, he is able to call upon his ancestor's ancient powers. He must do this by consuming a drop of his own blood and can only use one power at a time, each time.

TECHNIQUES/SKILLS SET

Dark Terrors

Flight


POWER INFLUENCE: SIDE EFFECT
The Rage threatens to consume all those who carry Syrus' blood. For generations, countless descendants have succumbed to their Rage. For reasons unknown, victims begin receiving visions and memories of Syrus' final tragic battle in the Titanomachy, and soon they begin to believe that they are Syrus himself. They uncontrollably activate all their powers at once and as a result of the stress, they revert to a ballistic and savage, beserker state with no self control. Their speed and strength are increased exponentially and they are invulnerable to pain, at the cost of their very own sanity. Usually, this only happens in times of great emotional stress, and the effects are temporary. However, there is the great risk that victims will permanently succumb to their Rage, and must either be euthanized, sedated or killed.


WEAPONS

Item Name: Black handled chef's knives
Item Description: The legendary Syrus' powerful weapon of choice was a spear crafted from holy materials. Zion's adaptation appears to be his kitchen utensils. Namely his Chef's knife set includes, a cleaver, bread, boning, chef's, carving and paring knife. On a typical day, Zion prefers to fight with a meat cleaver and throwing kitchen knives rather than Syrus' blood related abilities as he feels they are quick, reliable and efficient. Zion usually has at least one or two knives tucked away somewhere where he can reach it. He makes it a point to hide at least five knives of varying sizes on his person before he leaves home for the day. Zion is a skilled fighter and is very agile, preferring to get up close and strike at someone with a knife or throw one at them from a distance. Ultimately, any knife can be wielded effectively in his highly skillful hands, however he prefers to use his own set of Brazilian knives.

Actually I'd like to add something to that: What are the rules for teachers?
"I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen. The end has come!"
