Zen Breckenridge

"You make my skin crawl in every bad way possible. I like it."

- Zen

Zen is a Mortal Swordsman with an unknown subclass and a member of Ateleista Guild as one of the older officers around the guild alongside Citrine and Celeste.

He's often seen clowning around and professing his affections to his guild mate, Celeste, who continues to politely reject his advances every time, not that it seems to deter him one bit.

A self-proclaimed mood maker in the group.

Appearance
Standing at around six feet, Zen is easily one of the tallest in the guild right next to the Guild Master. Seemingly messy ginger-brown hair with a parted fringe, he has a rather mischievously youthful face riddled with freckles and hazel brown eyes.

His outfit consists of a simple sleeveless navy green buckled vest with a tan hoodie, a brown belt with numerous buckles for his sword and sheath as well as a black sleeveless turtleneck.

Zen wears grayish brown pants tucked into mid-length brown boots with black straps near the heel.

He also wears a pair of long black fingerless gloves with his index and pinky being ungloved with his shoulders being exposed, a few scars seen as well as more of his freckles can be easily seen on his shoulders.

Personality
Zen was raised to be responsible since he was a child, doing household chores and helping his parents in their little corner shop along with his sister and older brother. He genuinely cares and holds interest when people turn to him because he willingly listens to them and gives them his outsider's point of view and advice, but oftentimes, his short-fuse would just flare up at the wrong moments, making things complicated without meaning to. But, despite his overconfident and somewhat sarcastic nature that he inherited more from his sister than his own parents, Zen's genuinely a friendly guy and would often try to get along with others.

Background
Born in a nomadic tribe, Zen comes from a family of five, being the middle child. Lived like nomads growing up with his mother being a performer (dancer) and eventually caught the attention of his father who was an adventuring merchant who fell in love at first sight with her, eventually giving birth to three children; Palin, Zen and Laverna.

Eventually, even the life of traveling like nomads can become boring and rather dull, so he set off to find his own adventures. Wanting a sense of thrill and adventure in his once nomadic life, he chose to become an adventurer, traveling beyond his roots and into a different continent and enlisting in Ateleista Guild, hoping that adventure and his excitement about the vast world left unexplored would be fulfilled in his stay there.

Little did he know that he would be getting more than just a 'simple' adventure there during his stay.

Equipment
Zen only keeps things minimal in his equipment set, choosing to get certain items along the way rather than carrying all the heavy load from the get-go.
