Zacharie Toure

An energetic wizard who makes a living performing on the streets.

## Description

#### Personality

Zacharie Toure is a bright light against the dark realities of life on Toska's streets. He is a loud, enthusiastic person by nature, and he thrives on the attention of an audience with wide eyes and money and their wallets. While his demeanor can be annoying, especially given his unrelenting commitment to building friendships with people he thinks are cool, Zacharie is a very loyal friend. Despite his limited magical prowess, he can be trusted to burn through every resource available to him to aid the people he cares about, and surviving the City streets has made him remarkably clever.

#### Appearance

Zacharie iss a scrawny, black man with bright, green eyes and dark, brown hair. He has patchy facial hair, but does his best to remain presentable in light of his occupation. He has very little fashion sense, and tends to wear whatever brightly colored finds he can pull together from second-hand store or charities. He wears rectangular glasses to help with his astigmatism, and guards the fragile lenses with his life.

## Abilities

Zacharie is a fairly proficient street magician, specializing in cardistry. His skill at sleight-of-hand is bolstered by his magical ability, which has improved by leaps and bounds since he discovered the drugs that had been circulating on the street.

Due to said drugs, Zacharie is now a ghoul, and inherits all the strengths and weaknesses typical of his kind.

## Relationships

#### Nyx Fletcher

Nyx and Zacharie have a very one-sided friendship wherein he adores her and actively pursues her company, and she gives him the cold shoulder and does her best to avoid spending too much time around him. Zacharie doesn't kid himself that Nyx probably doesn't like him that much, but he is worried about how much time she spends alone, and fears for her safety when her prophesy business disturbs the underworld. He also likes to think that maybe Nyx struggles with companionship as much as he does, but in an opposite way. Either way, he's committed to hanging around.

## History

Very little is known about Zacharie's personal history. After fostering an addiction to krov, he fell victim to it's side effects, and is now loose on the city streets as a ghoul.

## Sessions Present

## Trivia

* Zacharie's primary weapon is a studded baseball bat wrapped in string lights. The string lights are intended to disguise the assorted, glowing runes etched into the bat in ballpoint pen that afflicted various, mildly annoying hexes on whosoever's skin they come in contact with. This strategy is slightly undercut by the fact that the lights themselves require an outlet rarely present, or in use, at any point the lights are powered.
* Zacharie kept track of Nyx's shopping habits for several weeks before first initiating a conversation with her. He assured himself that such behavior could not be creepy, because it wasn't his fault she walked past the spot he was busking from at the time. The fact that he very rarely busked the same corner more than twice in a row before this point is largely irrelevant.
* Having spent most of his life in abject poverty, Zacharie considers a solid, gourmet burger to be the height of fine cuisine. He will spend months arranging his finances to be able to afford at least two different dining experiences a year.
