Family: Blood Pact Sister Zaide, Adopted mother Sarah and father Charles, likewise.
Hobbies: Likes to exercise, so he jogs often, and when he can’t do that he does handstands, pushups and anything else he can think of. He likes to listen to music and read when he’s not doing that, and assembles models.
Likes: Models (usually very complicated ones) puzzles, taking things apart and people.
Dislikes: Egomaniacs, religious people (like Zaide, he’s an atheist) small, yappy dogs and People Who Just Aren’t His Kind Of People.
Strengths: Physically dexterous; can adjust to new ideas quite easily and tries hard to get along with people.
Weaknesses: Can be slightly judgmental and curt when he shouldn’t be; he gets frustrated when he can’t understand something and everyone expects him to know what to do about it.
Personality: Zwitter ambles through life as if he’s got it all figured out. He has a simple, easygoing nature that lets him get on with all sorts of people, but he has trouble getting very close to them. He’s also a bit of a ditz; he forgets simple things only minutes after they’ve happened, spaces out, and then becomes very apologetic when he’s rebuked for it. While it’s hard to notice, he has an underlying need to prove himself to people; he doesn’t notice it until it’s pointed out to him, and then he’ll be shocked, and eventually forget about it again.
Weapons: A Sword with a lightning bolt shaped blade.
Transformation Phrase: ‘Io Power!’
Name of Attack 1: Sachiel’s Thunderbolt
Description of Attack 1: Simple enough; it just strikes his opponent with a bolt of lightning.
Name of Attack 2: Minerva’s Blade
Description of Attack 2: He forms a sword-like weapon out of a bolt of lightning and hits people with it. Gosh, I’m creative.
Civilian Description: Zwitter is tall, standing at 6’2 (though Tei is still taller than him) and has a bit of muscle tone, just enough to give him a shapely chest without making him look like a gym regular. His skin is tanned, like Zaide’s, and his hair was a spiky messy of dirty blonde until he dyed it grayish blue. His eyes are, while not the usual almond shape of desirable people, well suited to his facial structure. They’re blue, too. He favors tight black shirts and grey and white baggy jeans for outfits; he wears a roman cross on a choker.
Senshi Description: Zwitter wears a high-collared, long-sleeved yellow coat over a pair of black pants with knee-length boots. That’s about it, really, until I get around to drawing it.
History: Zwitter’s parents where servants of Zaide’s parents (in this case, his father was the Estate Manager). They spent as much time with him as their busy lives would allow, but he spent most of his time raising himself anyway. He did well in school and came out of adolescence with a black belt in Karate and Tai Kwon Do. He was shocked when his parents divorced when he was 14; he lived with his father, but relatives raised a civil suit against his father for not ‘furthering the boy’s education’ by sending him to a school for noble boys. Somehow they won, but since they had no idea what to do with him afterwards Sir Laschoy took him in.
He awoke as Knight Io at a very young age (8) without ceremony or tragedy. He, as he puts it, ‘woke up one day and I was Knight Io.’ He simply knew, accepted it, and got on with things he considered more important. He awoke Zaide a year after he moved in with them.
