Physical Description

That's the big question, isn't it?

Their wardrobe consists of fun, graphic t-shirts, warm hoodies with extra deep hoods, and ripped, well-loved jeans usually covered in paint splotches and fingerprints. They have several tattoos including their left arm which has a full sleeve of crashing water, jumping koi fish, and several lotus flowers interspersed. The fingers of the left hand also say "River Runs Wide" in very faded ink. The inside palm of their left hand by their thumb has a colorful stained glass turtle tattoo. Their right hand has several different geometric glyphs along each knuckle each with a different meaning. These symbols are also faded. A series of symbols go down their spine each with a different spiritual meaning. The back of their right hand also has a geometric vector circle. The back of their neck has another lotus tattoo.

For jewelry they have a lip ring on the left side, a small stud in the crease of their left nostril, and a third eye piercing. They also have several earrings in both ears. [MORE?] Their fingers are also decorated with several rings and knuckle rings. It is also not uncommon for them to wear a prism with various stones in it depending on their mood. Also owns a pair of goggles with a "third eye" that he loves to wear on his head all the time.

Personality

Zen isn't sure anymore what is the internet persona and what is real anymore. There are just so many faces to them now, perhaps they are all of them and perhaps they are none of them.

Business is clinical. They don't like to get too wrapped up in the readings they are expected to do for fear of getting attached to the people they are providing a service for. Sometimes they get a sense of something from their intuition about people but they try not to interfere beyond what is asked of them. "Starseed" as they go by at work is known for in-depth answers and explanations and a calm aura.

Online is where the fun begins. As a blogger mostly known as "River" for short, they are light and playful in attitude. A compassionate sort of person that likes to give friendly advice and always comes off as chipper and laughing. In chatrooms, they are outgoing, quirky, and eager to greet and please. They don't like conflict and "Lemuria" will often jump in to try and soothe tensions. Work and play are never mentioned across username streams. Zen tries to be as anonymous as possible in a technology drive universe. They are genderless, nameless, and pictureless. Separate email accounts exist for each new personal they feel they need to create for each new purpose and there is as little crossover as physically possible.

In person, Zen is quiet, reserved, and even anxious among crowds. They are reclusive and introverted, enjoying the peace of being alone and safe. As far as their neighbors know, they don't even exist outside of soft footsteps across creaking floorboards.

Things
  • Artist: Loves to paint galaxies, nebulas, anything of the cosmos. Watercolors or acrylics are the preferred medium but also does a lot of digital work.
  • Blogger: Runs a blog about celestial changes and how they'll affect people's days.
  • Smoker: Dandylion is good when you can get it but nicotine is still where it's at.
  • Media Junkie: Absolutely adores books and movies that are romances with rugged space cowboys or psychological thrillers full of boogeymen. Bonus points if they have both. Also secretly enamored with the language of flowers and tries to collect as many resources on it when they can.
  • Agoraphobic: They never leave their home. Everything from food to supplies are ordered via the net and mailed or delivered in. They can't even remember the last time they tried to leave their home, nor do they have any intention of trying.
  • "Clean life:" Meditates and does yoga to screamo music. Tried the vegetarian lifestyle several times but how the hell are you supposed to manage that with a limited salary on a space station? Insists will try again but loves greasy burgers too much to probably succeed.

Magic/Abilities

"Good Luck:" They don't really know what else to call it. Zen just knows things. Good things just happen when they're needed most. It helps with business and it helps with life. They've never once been wrong in following that niggling sensation at the back of their mind, that gut-punch that something is wrong. They try not to use their gift often for fear of abusing it and losing it.

Clairvoyance?: Zen believes in the spiritual. Crystals, stars, numerology, cards, they use it all for work and more. Maybe it's the simplicity of the questions or maybe they really are more than a hoax but there is enough accuracy in their readings to make a living off it. They claim that timing is not their strong suit though so if you want to know when that perfect love of your life they just described is coming into your life...good luck...the answer is probably "soon."

Relationships

Clients: They have a few regulars that they are "on-call" for to do life-coaching and readings for. Not like there is much else to do.

The Internet: They like to make friends and talk to people online, even going so far at times to use different usernames and personalities for each one. Here are their friends, their family, all they feel they ever need to exist and keep from going insane.

Keha: Turtle animal spirit guide that Zen talks to and meditates on.

Nebula: Their young "teenage" son who they have kept safe and sheltered from the cruel world that harmed and frightened Zen so terribly.

Resonance: They know they're out there. Zen hasn't met them but felt them close once. One day maybe they'll be brave enough to go looking for them. They certainly feel the pull to.

History

Zen was born on a freighter ship or so they've been told. They were raised as an orphan by an older couple that took pity on them. Growing up things were tough but life was still good. Zen was happy. They had good friends, a good life. They were an artist, outgoing and a social butterfly always looking for the next outing to rock the station to its core.

Over time though something changed. Zen began to retreat. Bit by bit anxiety overwhelmed them to the point that they were cancelling plans, then not bothering to cancel, then not making them at all. They retreated into the online world, using the knowledge their "parents" had given them about the mystic and whimsical to start making a living. Their art was put away for a long time and now is only made for the most part to fill a room and be locked away.

They've lost all contact with their old friends and no one knows what started it. Even online Zen will never admit they have a problem or even the possibility that perhaps something happened. Life goes on and to the internet they are chipper Lemuria or River or Starseed. Only in the stillness are they tired and broken Zen, lonely yet safe.
