Eros (Zandaka)

A warm hearted finned Kyodai who functions as the guild's event coordinator.

## Appearance

Simply put, an athletic shark. Eros sports a dark colored slick skin with accents and highlights of varying shades of grey. His head is topped with a fluffy mess of dark grey hair and two pointed ears which rotate around almost fully. His eyes are a soft maroon color, but slide into deeper shades when he's feeling overwhelming emotion such as embarrassment or confidence. While he has finned roots, he spends most of his time on land working on his physique, taking advantage of his newfound ability to breathe air.

## Jobs; A Dime a Dozen

Spending a lot of time as a personal trainer, he ended up being stuck with the job of event coordinator not really of his own volition. It all started as a simple request from a workout buddy to help her set up a date with a girl she liked.

The buddy in question was Azira Taikomochi, the busty satyr who's in charge of the bank and treasury within the guild. The girl she wanted a date with? Well that was none other than the shy and reclusive cafe owner Mihara Kaburagi. Eros knew it would be a long day.

So flash forward a day or two and Eros agreed to help in exchange for some payment, since he'd be taking the time off of his workout schedule. Of course Azira agreed, wanting nothing more than to get a chance to get cozy with the lovely owl she was after. Affectively playing matchmaker for the two, Eros got the times they were both free, their hobbies, likes, dislikes and favorite foods down to a T. After getting all the info he needed, he set them up for a wonderful first date, which apparently it went well enough for a second go around.

After that, it was a carpenter asking if he could have a viewing of his work scheduled. Next, an armorer who wanted to do a hiring event. Then a painter, a chef... the list goes on and on. By now his workouts have become a side fling, since he's found a lot more enjoyment in making people happy by helping them out in their every day lives.

## Forgotten Skin

Eros's forgotten skin is an aquarium shark. Rescued by Miyagi after having been left so starve in a tank, Eros dislikes talking about his past with anyone except those who can sympathize.

People used to come from all over to see the great shark snag fish from the air when a diver tossed them in. They would cheer or look on awe at his viscous maw shredding meat from bone. He'd swim past the crowd behind the glass and children would cling to their parents legs... It saddened him. The days like this went one for years, the tank feeling smaller and smaller as he aged. Kids turned into teenagers and into adults with kids of their own, while he watched from behind the glass. It grew gloomy there, with no one to love, and only a tank to swim circles around in.

When the diver would come to clean the tank, a large set of metal bars were lowered to protect her from him. She'd do her job and leave, most time, but there was once when she apologized. She looked him in his eyes, from beyond the bars, feeling sorrow for him, but he could not understand. That day, he would regret once he was transformed.

The diver left the tank and raised the bars, feeling tired and just wanting to go home... But, unfortunately, she wouldn't make it there. She slipped and fell on the edge of the tank, slamming her head against the floor knocking her unconscious, unable to prevent herself from falling in. The blood alone was enough to draw him in; his instincts surged and he tore her to pieces. There was no regret, no second thought. Only a lifetime of haunting imagery, yet to be lived.

After the attack, he was set to be euthanized. It was supposed to occur a week later once the required drugs and tools had been shipped to them, but they never came. In fact, by some coincidence events, the entire aquarium was abandoned. Weak monsters like slimes and goblins moved in, and slowly, he began to starve. It wasn't much later that Miyagi showed up and rescued him, along with a large portion of the other aquatic life that was left to die in their tanks. This is where a large portion of the finned Kyodai in Zandaka come from.
