This place sucks.

There are no beaches here, and there are mosquitoes everywhere! The toucans are so yesterday, and the hunnies are all dead.

I wanna go hoooooooome!

//18 - Huh.

2008-06-21T20:40:24Z

Hey! Where'd the Twin go?

Well... You know what this means? [sounds really serious and solemn here]

Zelos Wilder is too much for Template to handle!!

Hehehehe~!

GOOD MORNING TEMPLATE~~~

It's me! The great ZELOS WILDER

And since you're all pretty much single, I've got good news for you. ♥

I'm trying to find a date for one of the cutest hunnies in Template~! If you pass up this opportunity, you'll definitely be kicking yourself tomorrow!

And what self-respecting guy would turn a hunny down when she's asking for your help?

//16 - On the road again~!

2008-06-04T22:24:18Z

[hey. Zelos MIGHT have a girlfriend, but he is STILL a flirt through and through]

Don't frown like that, hunny~ I bet your face looks much cuter when you smile! ♥

What? I'm totally serious! Why wouldn't I be serious?

[For his efforts, Zelos received COOKIES.

2008-05-06T06:20:09Z

Okay!

... Veeeeeery bored.

[idle thinking and then '!'] Oh yeah, Bud! I need your help! ♥

And how are the rest of you holding up? I hope no one's gone and hurt themselves yet!

(ooc; I wasn't kidding about the hiatus thing, but... I forgot I promised this post. DX Sorry, guys!

Alex, I hope you don't mind Zelos being devious.)

//14 - Not Good

2008-05-04T02:32:59Z

Sooo... Question for all the people who've been here way too long. This place has messed with memories before, right?

Hey, Colette-- can I ask you something?

13 - My number one hun-- girlfriend!

2008-04-25T20:12:08Z

Hehehe!

Leave it to the great Zelos Wilder to turn lemons into lemonade. ♥

I KNOW YOU OTHER MEN MAY BE JEALOUS BUT I'M AFRAID THE SEXY NINJA SHEENA IS NOW SPOKEN FOR.

She's my ~~number one hunny!~~ girlfriend~

//12 - Open Book

2008-04-22T08:20:01Z

You know, something like this didn't happen every day, and for damn good reason. There were some things that were better left in your head, and some things you just really didn't want to know.

And what with talking like this, all the hunnies were giving me strange looks. And I totally didn't appreciate having to cut conversations short before I somehow ended up telling my life story.

Really now, I refused that biography for a reason!

Riiiiight.

So, who else hates being an open book? Raise your hand~!

//11 - J-O-B

2008-04-17T02:59:47Z

Hey, hey, hey!

... Does this seriously mean I have to get a job?

No way! I'm so not cut out for ordinary jobs!

This is a joke, right? Hahaha?

//10 - Yaaaay, boobies on OTHER people!

2008-04-08T16:43:45Z

SWEET MARTEL, I'M BACK TO NORMAL!

Template, let's never do that again, okay? ♥ I like my center of gravity where it is!

Now, where are those lovely ladies~?

//09 - Funny doesn't really cover this

2008-04-06T22:21:45Z

[Private//Hackable]
I really hope this isn't permanent. This is just way too weird for even me. [looking self in the mirror, has no shirt on, is just kind of... studying]

Ugh, whatever. [puts on a shirt]
[/Private]

Aw man, so the cute city hunnies can see us while I'm like this? Talk about a cruel sense of irony! So not fair. [over dramatic sigh]

//08 - Not the best position

2008-03-25T01:11:43Z

[Zelos is holding onto a metal bar, a sort of brace, while he appears to be holding onto something else]

Hey, you're not planning on making this a habit, are you?

What is this, the second time I've had to save you from perilous cliffs~?

[however, not even a moment later, his eyes widen, and it looks like whatever he's holding onto just became a lot more heavy]

Hang on, babe!

[then there's the sound of the ground Zelos himself resting on cracking... What will they do now?!]

(ooc; aaaaaaall accidental second level. And yes, you're only hearing one side of a conversation.)

//07 - Ugh.

2008-03-11T05:13:08Z

This is so boring.

This place wasn't a second Flanoir two weeks ago! So not fair!

Also, the snowman with sunglasses joke has got to be out of date!

//06 - Note to Self

2008-03-09T07:15:17Z

Note to self: The professor needs a scary nickname.

Owww....

Also, Sheena has been unfairly mean! I'm innocent!

//05 - Sheeeeenaaaa

2008-03-05T21:51:08Z

Yo, Sheena! I'm in Chinatown!

It's waaaaaay too crowded here.

Where are you?

//04 - Well

2008-03-02T08:51:43Z

You know~

This totally reminds me of a ghost story. I guess it has some merit after all!

//03 - Wait, what?

2008-02-29T02:58:32Z

This is like a bad horror flick or something...

Hell, I'm almost positive this WAS a horror flick. Ahaha...

Anyway, kinda confused, but we're all in this together~, right? So, whose strings do I gotta pull to get a full story around here, anyway? ♥

[Filtered to the Twin]
By the way, just so I know, what's supposed to be the difference between us, anyway?
[/Filtered]

//02 - Getting the hang of this

2008-02-25T22:12:23Z

So, let's recap here.

One, this is a completely random city that's not on Aselia.

Two, it's like being a ghost. So not cool!

Three, Seles is four again.

~~Four, Sheena's not here.~~

...

Oh, and hey, what do you know, this place randomly broadcasts thoughts. Great!

So, which hunny wants to take me to dinner~?

//01 - The Beginning

2008-02-22T03:17:07Z

[low whistle] Well that's not something you see every day~

Aw, and Sheena ran off. No fair! She can't leave me behind like that! And-- huh.

Well, now that I think about it, this isn't the same city. A new city~?

Wait, this definitely doesn't look like Tethe'alla, and this definitely isn't one of ~~the boonies's~~ Sylvarant's cities...

Oh well! Where are all the cute hunnies?! And Sheena. Can't forget Sheena!

Woah-- hey, that was rude! ~~He stepped on my foot! Owwww...~~

Living Quarters: Condo in the Artisan District

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance: Zelos is the radiant hero (no, really) of Tales of Symphonia! If you're not on your absolute highest guard, his natural charms and good looks will simply overwhelm you. No, seriously. Zelos is handsom, and unfortunately for everyone around him (or maybe not so unfortunate), he knows it. He takes very good care of his appearance, and it shows all too easily. With long, wavy, carrot-top hair and blue eyes, Zelos isn't exactly a figure to be forgotten when you first see him ether. So what if his skin is fair (tanning causes early wrinkles, something Zelos definitely doesn't want to deal with), he's still the best looking guy out there.

He's well toned and sculpted, as well, which isn't an accident. At all. As Tethe'alla's Chosen, he has to keep up appearances, right? And no girl wants to date a guy with flab. However, the tone isn't just an indicator of vanity. It's also a sign of his fighting prowess, and let's just say that Zelos is far from a pushover. There's more to him than just that casual smirk and vapid shallowness. With his sword at his side, it might be a good idea to reconsider picking a fight with him. (But let's be honest. Zelos's motto is "make love, not war.")

As far as clothing goes, Zelos does have an appearance to keep up and only wears the most fashionable styles he can get his hands on. (Money never was an object of worry for him.) However, if anyone had trouble noticing it, he has an odd affinity for the color pink. But maybe he's just that comfortable with his masculinity. Most often, Zelos is seen in a pink vest, the ends trailing behind him to his knees, with gloves that almost go completely up his arms, pink on top and black on bottom. White pants with a white belt, and snazzy white shoes complete the ensemble.

Personality: All shallowness of the appearance section aside, Zelos is an interesting person. On the surface, it would seem that all he seems to care about is about whether or not the person in front of him has boobs or not. Zelos loves, loves, loves to flirt, and he's known throughout Tethe'alla as quite the ladies' man. His escapades are famous. He's not even particularly picky about who he flirts with, as long as they're female. He has a tendency to snub males and treat them as if they can't measure up to him (which they so can't).

Despite viewing himself as completely irresistable to the ladies (lord knows he's studied all their figures down to a particular art), Zelos can be viewed as rather funny. He states the obvious, at times, just to put his own spin on it that would make others listen, and his special brand of clumsiness (not on the Colette scale, of course) has served to cheer his companions up in the past. In fact, he often ends up as the comic relief, because he takes nothing seriously, much to Sheena's dismay. He doesn't mind being laughed at, because what does it matter in the end anyway?

Behind this seemingly vapid, cheerful personality is someone who is cunning and almost completely ruthless. Zelos is not as dumb as he likes to play himself off as, and he's far better are reading personalities than most would give him credit for. He always wants to be on the winning side, always, because that's a way of getting what he wants. And Zelos can't really have what he wants (to be free of the Chosen title), so he uses what assets he does have to his own advantage. He will betray anyone and play any side he wants to, owing loyalty to absolutely no one.

Zelos has extremely low self-esteem, and his suffering is often overlooked because he's so good at playing the vapid airhead. His minor slip-ups into how lonely he is are few and far between, and no one really thinks twice about them. Truthfully, for all his flirting, there is only one person besides himself that he actually cares about, and that's his sister Seles who is imprisoned in the Southeastern Abbey.

Zelos hates being the Chosen-- but he learned from an early age that people would try to become close to him, just because of that title. Thus, to be able to enjoy it, and to try and forget that no one cared about him, the Zelos that is well known today was born. Almost entirely fake.

However, he really does enjoy flirting with girls.

Some of that, however, has been amended by traveling with Lloyd Irving's group, as he has learned that there are some people who can appreciate him for him. With this in mind, Zelos is not quite as distant as he once was. Lloyd has, also, inspired him to use his position to do some good in Tethe'alla as well.

Abilities/Strengths: Zelos, as the Chosen, has honed his charismatic skills, and is quite the politician... when he wants to be. However, he seems so innocent and dumb, it's hard to believe this, at all.

Zelos is also very skilled with the sword, having been taught it from a very young age as means of self-defense. Along side this, Zelos also has the ability to use very basic magic. That first aid comes in handy in a tight spot!

Weaknesses: Zelos lack of self-esteem is a weakness, as well as the several skeletons that he has in his closet. He'd rather those not be revealed to anyone, if he can help it.

He has very few loyalties, thus it's hard to count on him in battle, especially when he could actually risk his neck. There are a limited number of people he would actually do that for.

History: Zelos was born in Meltokio, the previous Chosen his father, and Mylene Wilder his mother. The young Zelos, of course, didn't realize that his parents' marriage was forced, in order to keep the mana line pure. Neither parent wanted this, as both had someone else that they loved. Zelos's father even conceived and illegitimate child with his mistress. And soon after he realized this, he committed suicide, leaving illegitimate child and mother alone, as well as Zelos and Mylene.

Mylene, as a mother, was never a smashing success. She preferred to ignore Zelos's existence, as he reminded her of the marriage she'd been forced into as well as the love she had to give up. Thus, Zelos spent most of his time trying to earn his mother's approval and love, an effort that often was in vain. At a young age, he was already used to being alone.

However, that changed one day when a tiny girl snuck into the gardens and was found by Zelos. She explained to him that she was looking for her father, who was supposed to be the Chosen of Tethe'alla. Zelos realized then that his father's death had been kept a secret from her. However, she soon collapsed, revealing she had a weak heart. Zelos had some of the servants take her in and take care of her.

When she was better, he promised her that they would play whenever she came over.

Seles's mother had other plans, however. One day, when it was snowing, Zelos managed to convince his mother to come outside to play in the snow with him. Seles's mother was waiting, hiding, and planning on assassinating Zelos, so that Seles could become the Chosen. However, her attack missed and instead hit Mylene Wilder. With her dying breaths, Mylene grabbed Zelos and told him that he never should have been born.

The rest of what happened was a blur. Seles's mother was imprisoned and killed without a trial, thanks to the discriminatory laws against half-elves. Seles was also imprisoned, but not killed. She was locked away, under house arrest, in the Southeastern Abbey. And Zelos was forced to live life alone, with only his butler for company. On his first night alone, however, Zelos resolved to take care of his two biggest problems. He would die, and this would allow Seles to become the Chosen One.

It was perfect, right?

Soon after, Pronyma visited him, asking him to follow Cruxis's plans, promising to free him from the responsibility of the Chosen Title once he'd completed his end of the bargain. It would, however, be several years before Zelos needed to do anything, and so he accepted his position begrudgingly. He found that despite himself being popular, it was only because of his title, and not because of him. So, in order to at least enjoy his position, he dumbed his personality down and used it to manipulate the cute girls into doing his homework and into giving him gifts.

Gifts he soon tired of.

At last, however, his part came to pass. The Chosen of Sylvarant and several companions had wound up in Tethe'alla, and were taken captive by the Pope's guard. They managed to convince Tethe'alla's leaders, however, that Colette had failed in her journey, thus making her useless as a Chosen. At that time, she was also a soulless being. The pope decided to let them go, on the condition that Zelos spied on them for him.

Zelos readily agreed, as he had to to aid Cruxis as well. However, what was unexpected was that through travelling with them, Zelos's compulsive need for siding with the strongest would slowly start to change through his friendship with Lloyd Irving. He became good friends with all of them, and was an invaluable asset while they sought to make pacts with all the summon spirits, which would free the great mana seed.

However, that failed abysmally, and ended up destroying the Sylvarant city of Palmacosta.

It was then that it was decided that they would go to the Tower of Salvation in Tethe'alla to stop Mithos once and for all. And it was there that Zelos "betrayed" the group. He disappeared with Colette into the depths of Derris Kharlan. However-- the betrayal was only a cover for him to get a material that would enable Lloyd to use the Eternal Sword, despite him having no elven blood. It was Zelos who freed all of Lloyd's companions from the traps they had fallen into on the way to save Colette. Once she was freed, they were able to kill Mithos.

Zelos was able to help them in making a pact with Origin, as Origin's original pact with Mithos was now void. After the pact was made, however, Mithos possessed Colette and vanished with her body, once more, into the depths of Derris Kharlan.

It was up to Lloyd and everyone else to save her. Which they soon did, and went forward once more to forever defeat Mithos and to reunite the worlds. After this ordeal, Zelos swore he would use his Chosen title to help the status of half-elves in Tethe'alla. However, it wasn't long until Zelos ran into trouble in the form of a cult that viewed the Chosen as the source of all evil in the world. So, needless to say, they were after his head.

Zelos managed to con Sheena into coming with him on the run. However, it was a stop in a city named Template when Zelos woke up to find himself in a different Template.

Sample Journal Entry: [low whistle] Well that's not something you see every day~

Aw, and Sheena ran off. No fair! She can't leave me behind like that! And-- huh.

Well, now that I think about it, this definitely isn't the same city. A new city~?

Wait, this definitely doesn't look like Tethe'alla, and this definitely isn't one of ~~the boonies's~~ Sylvarant's cities...

Oh well! Where are all the cute hunnies?! And Sheena. Can't forget Sheena!

Woah-- hey, that was rude! ~~He stepped on my foot! Owwww...~~

Sample Roleplay: Zelos wasn't too sure what he should do. Sheena was definitely already drunk, and he wasn't too sober himself. After that whole buying rings thing they'd just done, and then the way he was talking loudly and she was protesting loudly, it was kind of nice. To forget the entire reason he was anywhere besides Meltokio right at that moment. It was really nice, and Sheena was always entertaining to be around.

He'd have to have more nights like this. Because where were they supposed to be going next? And by the way, what was the name of this village anyway? It was one of the new cities, right? He couldn't be too sure of what the name was, anyway. He didn't pay too much attention when he walked in, and he couldn't find the energy to really ask right then. It had been stressful going. He could always ask tomorrow after the night of unwinding.

However, when tomorrow came, Zelos found himself in a stranger still situation. What had originally been a tiny village had suddenly turned into a huge city, with a lot of technology, some he recognized and some he didn't. And there was definitely no Sheena next to him. He couldn't really pinpoint exactly what had happened, except that he was definitelyly not in the same place he had been and he was suddenly very, very alone. Of course, he was smart enough to not announce his position as Chosen.

But getting even simple information from the people around him was proving to be harder than he would have originally thought. He never really thought he was that easy to ignore-- but in this place, it seemed like ignoring him was going out of fashion. Everyone was doing it. It reminded him a bit of the angels, but a lot more human, and a lot more creepy. Because these people seemed to actually be human, and they weren't all that soulless.

Just what was going on here?

Did you read the rules: You're freakin' kidding, right.
