## Summary

Zakari Blackwell is the main protagonist of Phantom Gun (a new series I’m making). He is the 10th holder of the Blackwell gene, a rare and supernatural genetic mutation only found in the Blackwell family. The gene grants a Blackwell incredible superhuman capabilities, intuitive knowledge of assassination and combat, as well as abilities related to Death itself. After his father died fighting off other assassins sent to kill them, Zakari and his family went to America and were given false names for protection. However, life in America was hard, as Zakari’s mother had to work minimum wage as an secretary while both Zakari and Amara had to prepare for school and go to school by themselves. During school, he was constantly bullied by other students, as he was unable to do anything about it without having to attack the other children around him. When he was 15, he was full of depression until he met Aoric, who was killing a thief in the middle of an alleyway. Aoric decided to help Zakari wield his Blackwell abilities in order to stop the terrorist group known as the Arcane Order. 6 months later, he managed to awaken a small amount of his potential by summoning hundreds of dark tendrils to help him prevent the Brooklyn bridge from falling and saving the millions on the bridge as well. After seeing Zakari’s feat of heroism, Franklin Walker asked Zakari if he wanted to be a part of the Laminae Sanguis Program, a school system focused on training young and capable teens to be assassins. Zakari accepted the offer and became a member of the program.

## Personality

Zakari at the start of the series is a calm, collected, reserved, and polite person, However, due to his dad’s death, having to go to a new country to be safe, and having the grim reaper constantly telling him to kill, he slowly became paranoid and insecure. However, thanks to the 6 years of training from Aoric and the friends he made in the Laminae Sanguis Program, he became a diligent and strong-willed person, one who never hesitates to help or rescue someone in danger. Also, due to his father’s death, he gained a fear of being alone. This is one of the many reasons why he is so protective of his loved ones.

After seeing Laura severely injured by Dreven, as well as his dad’s mutated corpse, he snapped and went on a killing spree, slaughtering 40 thousand Arcane Order soldiers and Dreven Wraith himself. After this and the following events, a large part of Zakari’s humanity was gone. He became ruthless, cruel, and brutal in order to protect his friends, yet managed to maintain composure. He was still capable of showing a kind and gentle side towards the ones he cared about, but immediately became a merciless, bloodthirsty demon against an enemy (such as well he killed a soldier that was attacking him). He also spoken in a crazed disorganized manner, further showing his mental instability.

During a confrontation between Micheal (with the fight almost killing both of them) as well as a conversation with Death, Zakari begins to reflect on his life. Remembering his father’s words and remember all the memories he made with his loved ones. He still became ruthless, but more calm and collected. Brutal, but more reserved. His inner demons began to mix into his humanity. He also became an great strategist, developing numerous plans to stop Hazel.

## Appearance

Zakari is a 16 year old boy with a slightly athletic build, along with dark black hair and eyes, the latter being the most notable way of identifying a Blackwell. He wears a black hood less jacket, a grey t-shirt, black jeans, and black sneakers. However, his suit has a grim reaper like design to it, along with a metal mask to cover his face. When he activates his bloodlust however, his eyes turn a piercing blood red.
