Physical Description

Tall and lean, Zephire has a broad, toned frame and is not at all ashamed of his body. He has a strong, confident stature and carries himself with an air of pride and self-control. While he is well muscled like all Pilots, especially COs, his movements are surprisingly fluid and graceful, seemingly every action he takes, be it just walking down the hallway, executed with precision and finesse.

Zephire is a perfectionist, and that shows in his appearance. His light bronze hair is cut short and tidy, not quite a buzz-cut but close too, and his face is clean shaven. He keeps his hair well tended to, disliking messiness of any kind, and his general appearance is much the same; his cllthes and uniforms kept in pristine condition at all times.

His eyes are a light purple colour, blending well with his pale skin and light red hair, and are quite narrow in shape, giving him a calculating, sometimes sinister expression.

Personality

Despite his somewhat intimidating expression and height, Zephire is quite a kind individual. He takes great pride in his position as a Pilot Echo and strives to do even better in the future, respecting the actions others used to lead him to this point. Still, he knows how to unwind and take a break, often enjoying a chill evening with a drink or two and some comrades.

His greatest asset is his mind; analytical and pragmatic thinking alongside years of strategical training, which he took to like shine to a shoe, has served him extroidinarily well for many a year. He likes to have a solid plan or two firmly in place, but also accepts, if begrudgingly, that sometimes plans just don't go like they should.

On the other hand, he is easily irrirated by those who simply don't follow the plans he creates because they think they know better. Zephire doesn't skimp on the details, and pours a great deal of effort into formulating the best strategy he can, so it irks him more than a little when others disregard his work.

When it comes to his comrades, Zephire considers the other Pilots as his large, extended family. His respect of those above him knows no bounds and he would follow them to death willingly. As such, he is kind and compassionate towards his fellow pilots, and lets the walls of professionalism crumble around them. He enjoys any time he can get to spend with his friends and family, but understands that his duty must always come first, and quite honestly lives for it. He can be a bit of a tease sometimes, enjoying getting a rise out of people, but at the same time he is observant, and knows when to ease off in order to avoid crossing a line. That said, if he does make the mistake of crossing the threshold and actually upsetting someone, he will feel no end of guilt and go out of his way to make up for it.

Magic/Abilities
Telepathy- Zephire's Telepathy is a bit of an odd one. While he is not as strong as some, his ability is very, very sensitive. In example, some people cannot help but pick up thoughts and emotions from others because of the strength of their skills, while on the other hand, Zephire almost has an on and off switch. But when it is switched on, its like a flood of information. As such, outside of his bond with his dragon,  Zephire has to be very careful with when he does and doesn't use his telepathy.
Cryokinesis- His cryokinetic abilities have been honed to a fine point over the years, in that they are strong and easy for him to call upon. With a simple thought, he can call the ice to his command, to such an extent that he has learned how to create ice clones of himself that follow the commands of his thoughts.
Physical- Aside from his phycic abilities, Zephire is a trained pilot, a Combat Operative at that, and as such does not rely on his gifts alone. He has been trained in hand to hand, weaponry and stealth. He is in top notch condition physically and prefers to stay that way. He is also deceptively graceful and agile, given his height, and knows exactly how to throw his weight around.
Mental- Zephire is a tactician, a perfectionist, and despite his wish to stick to plans, he is adept at coming up with plans on the spot. He has a planners eye and is constantly on the lookout for anything that could change up his plans, from making them worse to making them better. Aside from that, he has learned to pack aside the things he sees and hears about from the field. He knows full well the mortality rate of pilots, and refuses to allow himself to join the ranks of the dead because of a mental freeze in battle. As such, he files away the horrors he might see or experience for later examination in a safe, secure environment.
Anxiety- Despite what it may seem, Zephire actually suffers from an anxiety of sorts. As previously stated, he's a perfectionist, and though he has learned to accept the fact that plans hardly ever go as they should, he still stresses. Worry is a constant factor in his life, concern that he might not be performing up to scratch, that his plans might backfire and get one of his squad killed, that he himself might screw up. Despite his confidence in his own abilities, he is still incurably anxious about all of these things, something that both frustrates and worries him.

Relationships
Jenova- Jenova is Zephire's dragon; a majestic beast of dark silver scales and mechanical limbs. While her body and head are flesh and blood, Jenova's legs and tail had been replaced. She is a strict dragon, never taking no as an answer and determined to follow through with anything she sets her kind to. Still, she cares about her Pilot, in her own way, and would fight tooth and nail for him, though she would never tell him that.
