Ezekiel Elias

Name: Ezekiel Elias (Nickname: Zeke, as he prefers) Gender: Male Age: 23 years old Height: 6'1" Birthdate: August 1st

Appearance: Ezekiel is a tall young adult, standing at 6'1", with orange eyes, unkempt neck-length black hair, which is dyed orange along one part of it, and dyed orange eyebrows. Ezekiel has various scars and injury marks along his slender body, with Lichtenberg figures, which are primarily visible around his shoulders and along his side.

In addition, he wears an assortment of ear piercings, various bracelets on his right wrist, and a silver necklace with his nickname 'Zeke' inscribed on it. Ezekiel has a black snake tattoo on his left arm, which he calls "Lucifer" and "Lucy" for short, and he got it after recovering from one of his most daring action movies.

Ezekiel wears a dark gray t-shirt with a bright orange 'X' on the front and several orange splotches in various places. Over this, Ezekiel wears a black zip-up jacket with a chest pocket and an upright collar. He also wears a pair of similarly colored ripped jeans with a chain attachment and dark green spiked boots.

Ezekiel wears a pair of sunglasses, which are usually stored hanging from one of his pockets.

Background: Ezekiel grew up in a poor, rural area in eastern America, where his parents did not care much about him. He was eventually sent to a religious boarding school, and most of his life from there was horrible for Ezekiel until he was nearing adulthood. He has had a long history of incidents at the school, and the slightest misdemeanor has resulted in harsh punishment for him. Because no one really cared about him, he grew up a bully himself, often picking on others and getting into violence, with a few cases of sending them to the hospital. Eventually, Ezekiel escaped the school and his parents, as he couldn't tolerate the abuse or harshness of the environment anymore through the school's 'conversion therapy.'

As he was poor and lived on the streets by himself, he eventually took up stunt performing, mostly because it made him feel more like a man by conquering fear, and he had nothing else to lose. Fortunately for him, his stunts generated publicity, and movie directors sought him out to perform in their action movies, which he happily accepted. Ezekiel has done all kinds of stunts for them since then: chainsaws, motorcycle acts, throwing knives, active explosives, middle-aged mothers, live animals, catching things in his mouth, high-speed chases, among many others, and he ends up in the hospital often because of his injuries. His stunts made him famous and well-known throughout America, and he was proud of himself.

One of his most dangerous acts was when he worked as a stunt double for an action movie. The director was a stickler for realism and authenticity, wanting as little CGI or green screen as possible. In one scene, he was kicked off the top floor of a mall and fell through a glass display. Once he fell through the glass, he was meant to grab a set of cables hanging from the decoration. However, the cables were made out of rubber. As he fell, the rubber on the cables rubbed off, leaving his hands electrically shocked. As a result, he had to let go early and was severely injured, and had to stay in the hospital for a week. When the film was released, the scene was loved and talked about for months due to its authenticity. Ezekiel dubs the scene as one of his proudest moments and has been trying to top it ever since. Ezekiel frequently ended up in the hospital after various attempts to do so and was told he would have only three months left to live if he continued.

Personality: Ezekiel is typically an asshole with a big ego and an intimidating presence, carrying an unimpressed look. Arrogant, punkish and prideful, he loves to brag about himself, though he doesn't care about getting along with others, especially if they don't appreciate him or don't fit his criteria. In fact, he often states his mind bluntly and insults others crudely in a southern drawl, which usually ends up with him getting into a conflict or resorting to violence. His hot temper also doesn't help him make friends, but his carelessness and death-seeking behavior, even if he's self-aware, often make him uncaring about what others think, aside from his friends. In a sense, he often prefers to live as he is, rather than be a faker or try to change what life has given him, though he has a hard time expressing his real self without getting defensive or deflecting questions about his past.

Despite his rough upbringing, uncouthness, and lack of education, Ezekiel has a good grasp of life and can be thoughtful. He strongly believes that he's one of the manliest and strongest guys out there, as he's stared death in the face every day and uses the fear as a motivator to work hard on himself. He knows that, if he were to die because of his acts, he would die as a legend, knowing that others would remember him in some shape or form. Moreover, he doesn't like others who are disingenuous and dishonest about themselves around others, which pisses him off the most because it doesn't get anyone anywhere in life and makes them a slave to the system. In a way, while Ezekiel doesn't mind dying, he at least has some morals and mindfulness in his interactions, and he can respect those who follow through with his own beliefs.

Ezekiel isn't really good at remembering names, and he often misnames others, either rudely or just to insult them. He remembers his friends, however, but he gives them better nicknames instead of using their real ones.
