CHARACTERS PLAYED: N/A

NAME: Zancrow
CANON: Fairy Tail
CANON REFERENCE: [Link]
AGE: 17 (canon age never given)
GENDER: Male
YEAR IN SCHOOL/FACULTY POSITION: Grade 9 (due to poor scores)
APPEARANCE: A skinny, blond, wild looking teenager usually wearing baggy pants, tank tops, shirts with the sides cut out, or just going shirtless. His hair is long and uncontrollable. He has red eyes with three black concentric circles and very small pupils.

PERSONALITY:  Zancrow is a rather disturbed young man. His wild looks are a prefect indicator of his unstable personality. He revels in violence, is always eager for a fight, and has very little respect for anyone. He lacks real empathy, and finds joy in causing death and destruction. While fighting Zancrow is gleeful, insulting, and laughing madly as he dominates his opponents, is on equal playing field, or getting his backside handed to him.

Zancrow is capable of loyalty. He was loyal to his Guild’s Master Hades, and loyal his guild and it's ideals. However, he doesn’t have any loyalty to those of lower rank. He is capable of faking it, however. Until it’s no longer convenient to him anyway, and then he’ll happily burn down any bridges. He once kicked out and killed several lower ranking members for doubting their power, stating that anyone who didn’t acknowledge Grimoire Heart as the strongest guild doesn’t deserve to be in it. To those of equal rank he is capable of being friendly with, and does show some amount loyalty to. He showed this when one of his colleagues, Meredy, was scolded by their team leader, Ultear. He comforted her and asked what she had been excited about. However the moment he feels anyone betrays the guild he will turn on them, and seek to hurt them as much as possible before ultimately killing them. Zancrow did this when he discovered Meredy was planing on betraying Hades with Ultear He gleefully told Meredy that Ultear, who was also Meredy’s surrogate mother/sister figure, was the reason why she was an orphan before attempting to kill her.

He’s an extremely proud individual. Proud of his power, and proud of whatever group or movement he’s part of. This pride will cause him to butt heads with anyone who dares to say that they are better than him or the group he’s a part of. He sees no reason to change this attitude as he loves fighting and will use any excuse to start a fight. His pride won’t let him back down, even if knows he’s going against an opponent stronger than him. Even beaten down Zancrow will get back up and try again, again and again.

(Zancrow’s personality isn’t really expanded on, as he dies in the arc he’s introduced, so the following is head canon for this verse)

He wasn’t always psychotic. He’s always had a hard time relating to others, but he wasn’t as cruel or blood thirsty as a kid, in fact he was kind, if shy. He suffered a break from reality when his parents died and suffered from further traumas under the training of Master Hades.

The Training under Master Hades was brutal and designed to turn Zancrow into the perfect attack dog. He’s easily agitated, with a habit setting what frustrates him on fire. He’s also incapable of hiding his emotions. If he’s angry, he’ll make it known, if he’s frightened he won’t bother to hide it. He’ll still attack despite his fear, as that’s the only way he knows how to deal with fear, or any emotion really; attack the source.

What Zancrow is really in need of is professional help. He’ll never be fully healed mentally, but perhaps with time he could return to being a functioning member of society. Until then, those around him should keep a fire extinguisher handy.


POWERS/ABILITIES: Zancrow can generate black flames and manipulate them as he sees fit. He mostly uses his hands to guide it, as it’s easier for him to do so, but he’s capable of directing them with out. It’s just really hard for him to do so. He can also manipulate the flame into shapes, such as blades and animals, usually snakes, but they are crude shapes and the animals have no sentience. The fire burns just as hot as normal fire, but has also been described as having the attack force of a halberd.

He cannot control any flames other than the ones he creates, he is however, immune to being burned and can withstand extreme heat. His red eyes with black circles are also part of his mutation that really don’t serve any purpose in canon and here will be an aesthetic mutation.

Unlike in Fairy Tail canon Zancrow is not capable of eating or bellowing fire.

AU HISTORY: Zancrow, birth name Corbin Wroth, was born to Anders and Mary Wroth in St. Lewis, Missouri. They were a poor but hard working family. Anders and Mary were both mutants but kept their mutations secret as both just wanted to live normal lives. They tried to raise their son the best they could. When Corbin was eleven it was somehow came out the family were mutants. Shortly after this they were attacked by the Friends of Humanity which was the catalyst that awoke his abilities. The attack was brutal and his parents were killed during the attack. Seeing his parents murdered activated Zancrow’s powers, which he then used on his attackers, killing them in rage. He was traumatized by the experience and has never truly gotten over it.
 
He was then taken in by a mutant calling himself Master Hades who lead a group called Grimoire Heart, who happened to be near by and witnessed the boy’s formidable offensive powers. That day the name Corbin Wroth was left behind, and Zancrow was born.

Master Hades saw himself as the next Magneto, or rather someone better; someone who would conquer the earth for mutants by killing every non-mutant on the planet and usher in a new age for mutantkind. To achieve this Master Hades trained Zancrow and several others for his agenda of taking over the world, calling them his Seven Kin of Purgatory, his elite killing squad. Because Zancrow was in a vulnerable state when Master Hades began to train him he transformed from a shy but kind boy who to a blood knight who cared little for others.

Grimoire Heart had a promising start by terrorizing Eastern European countries. They were looking for mystical items that Master Hades said would help them in their goal. However, the group disbanded when Master Hades died of natural causes. Now fifteen and abandoned by his colleagues for being too unstable, Zancrow made his way back to the states, leaving chaos where ever he went.

He was eventually taken in by the Mutant Liberation Front, where he continued doing what he had done for Master Hades; guerrilla attacks and causing chaos.

He was away on a mission when Renko was almost assassinated by the Friends of Humanity. When he found out that she was at the Xavier Institute he assumed she was being held there and went to rescue her, attacking the front gates. He discovered that she was there seeking asylum, and was persuaded to enroll at the school. As he had never finished sixth grade, he was placed in ninth grade. Not that he actually cares, he’s there because of Renko, not to get an education.

LOG SAMPLE: Zancrow sat on the the bed of his dorm room, frowning at the book in front of him. It was a text book. A math text book. And he wanted to set the stupid thing on fire.

Not that unusual, he wanted to set a lot of things on fire. He frowned, his lips twisting into a scowl, and tossed the book aside. The room was nice, and he didn’t mind having a roommate. He’s had roommates before. The other boys Master Hades was training, his colleagues in the MLF. And now this guy.

It was weird, being back in school, but his options were this or live in the basement. He didn’t want that. He hated being cooped up, not being able to see the sun.

He stood. Not able to stay still anymore. He needed to do something. Punch something. He wanted to punch the wall, set in on fire, but he had to be good. Renko needed him to spread her message. He was the worst person for it, he knew that. But someone had to do it.
