Ze'Bast |
Theme: -
Nicknames: Bast, Bas. Name origin: A spin on Sebastian, with a zebra flair. Planet: Historical. Gender: Male. Species: Zebra. Age: Adult. Created: 6/12 2021. outfit designed late summer 2022. Designer: peelygecko, with tweaks and additions by myself. Element/Powers: -details undecided- Size: Standard large, 1.42m. Eyes: Gold, black sclera. Round pupils. Coat: Black with a small amount of a cream-white, black stripes of two shades. Mane: Black, very wavy and messy, medium length. Outfit: designed by myself and amesfaerns. Overview: Dirty white shawls/cloth, big saddlebag along with a multitude of pouches and trinkets, royal neckpiece, jewelry of gold and gems. Detail: - Thin lightweight cloth, usually thrown around his head and over over the bags, hiding his trinkets and sheltering him from the winds/sun (and people). - Attached to the saddle-strap is one large bag, a map, and lots of pouches, herbs potions, and other trinkets. - He carries a large golden neckpiece—with matching bracelets--of high value and status, along with a brass armor piece on left front leg. - Gold rings and gems are tied into his mane and tail in an ever growing quantity. When his tail started getting too heavy he decorates his legs with the gems instead, strapping them in place with leather and cloth. - Even without the rest of his outfit on; there is still always a feather tied in his mane, fastened by two golden beads. Optional: Array of trinkets and mane/tail jewelry does not need to be exact. The leather/cloth hosting the gems on his legs can be designed differently, or removed. |
- just notes for now, no actual lore as I've yet to write it -
A wanderer traveling around the vast desert of the south, collecting gems and dangerous ancient artifacts. When using his magical powers, some specific stripes of his turn gold. With enough focus he can choose to only turn some stripes at a time. lore brainstorming notes. major WIP! started as a normal zebra, became a royal messenger's mount if the west city (red gems/theme). on a mission his rider was slain(?) and he got lost in the desert. then he got his unique powers and awareness from.. something, Idk yet. an artifact? the celestials? he came across a powerful and dangerous artifact that no mortal should have access to. when he touched it the celestials felt the power surge and intervened, giving him full awareness and special powers, setting him on a mission to hunt down more artifacts hidden on this planet. with his new life he quickly got recognized as a very unnatural zebra and became worshipped like a deity by many, growing a small reputation through rumours spreading like wildfire. when he ended up in the east city (blue gems/theme) he was acknowledged by the royals and given a full title and place at the palace. after some time trying to convey (without being able to speak) that he is on a mission and can not stay, they gave him royal jewelry to use as a "free pass" in their lands so people know this zebra is to be left alone. now most people of the desert lands know of this mysterious zebra, though not all are convinced if he actually exists or just a rumour. but when they do recognize him they shower him with whatever trinkets and gems they have, thinking he is an aspect of one of their many gods. some trinkets he keeps, and the prettiest of gems he definitely keeps, but most gifts are discarded upon leaving. there's no way he can keep it all, there's just too much! he found that people are less likely to recognize the very odd sight of a lone zebra, decked out with gold and trinkets, when he uses his cloth to cover said trinkets and jewels along with his features. it works best in dense populations of course, in very small villages it's impossible not to get spotted. hence why he avoids those when possible. he doesn't like people, the constant recognition and showering with praise and prayers gets very old very fast. he's not hostile towards people, he endures it and moves on, but when in a bad mood he definitely makes it clear not to get close. |
History of his outfit:
Feather is the most important thing he owns, it's from his original owner who was basically his family.
He was saddled up, with saddlebags and full armor pieces, as they set out on their first mission together.
Because the armor was mostly for show and shouldn't see actual combat, he ended up losing some pieces in the fight while of the other were badly damaged, one bag got torn and rendered useless. after awakening; everything was discarded save for one armor piece and still functional bag, the armor was kept for sentimental reasons.
Started collecting pouches, herbs, potions and maps to aid his travels.
Got recognized by royals and were given the golden neckpiece and bracelets, also picked up the cloth shawls in the same city.
Mane was decorated with gold, and kept being decorated with gems by the people worshipping him.
His cloth gets weathered by dust storms and time, fraying at some edges. he starts piling gems on his legs as his mane and tail are a bit.. overfilled.
