Character's Appearance: Sykes has dark coffee colored hair, which is always messy and windswept, normally brushed into a position just parted enough so that he can see clearly, yet still have most of his face hidden. With narrow amber eyes that are sharp and calculating, just a good glare is enough to cause a small child to cry. Though not ugly, Sykes is not horribly handsome, a fact he knows and relishes when annoying women pay more attention to Zen, who more easily welcomes their advances. His attire is mostly dark earth colors, a very dark brown hoodless mantle, which is sometimes pulled up to scrunch around his shoulder and neck. The mantle is lined with gold, the gold embellishing studded in place with circular brass metal. Underneath his mantle, Sykes wears a tattered black scarf that is normally hiding the lower portion of his face. Matching his mantle in color and gold linings, is a pair of gloves that reach about the middle of his biceps, which consist of lean muscle made for speed, not strength. To add to the set, is a simple rectangular square of cloth, wrapped around his midsection and bound in place by a brown leather belt, which covers up the unsettling and unsightly purple poison viles that sit around his waist, waiting to kill their next victim, along with part of his jagged dagger.
However, regardless of all the extra luggage that Sykes prefers to wear, his main attire is a sleeveless turtle neck jumpsuit, tight around his torso with loose flowing shorts that fall just past his kneecaps. A pair of thin black knee-high stretchy socks covers his shins and feet, while a pair of light, double tongued black boots sit on top of these socks. With a thin black sole to keep his feet from being uncomfortable when traveling on rocky surfaces, the sole is thin enough to keep quiet when Sykes steps lightly, with one tongue of the boot pulled up, the other folded down. These boots don't appear to have any other sort of laces, and fits nicely around Sykes' long and thin feet. Only just barely shorter then Zen, the two of them together make quite a sight, and due to both of them looking very much like what they do for a living, they get kicked out of places more often then not, the pirate and the theif.
Character's Personality: Brash and abrupt, Sykes is a headstrong person who's as stubborn as a stupid mule. Though quick and intelligent, his stubborn attitude usually proves his downfall, as he'll be the first to push away any sort of logic, so long as he can still claim that he was right. To join in a conversation, Sykes likes it to be a big entrance. Loud and obnoxious, he deems rude comments, insulting jeers, and sarcastic input acceptable material to enter a conversation. Though Sykes is normally quite honest with his short temper, people tend to find his angry moments more comical then frightening, as he so easily loses the cool he strains to put on for himself. Rather restless, Sykes is extremely impatient, mostly because he feels that he, as such a great and wonderful person, should not have to wait for anyone else. If it wasn't already apparent, Sykes' ego is extremely bloated, for absolutely no reason at all. But even though he puts on this "tough guy" persona, he's in reality a rather interesting person to be around, due to the fact that he's usually the butt of every single joke in town, and yet still feels that he might as well be royalty compared to everyone else.
But in reality, Sykes is extremely resentful toward his 'friends', and a manipulative person. Intelligent in all the wrong fields, he knows how best to backstab a person, he knows best how to torture them afterwards, and he knows best how to finalize their last moments and make them their worst. An assassin at heart, he is cold and loathes the world, his life, and his career. But he's not all assassin. He is, part pirate, as he lived most of his later life on pirate ships, after all. This, he takes on the same view as Zen. First, judge a person by how rich they look, or by how much they look as if one could gain from them. Then, judge a person by how rich they
are, and by how much one can really gain from them. He places no value in trust, friendship, or love. Those sorts of virtue's, to Sykes, are only things that land you in an undesirable life.
Character's History: Sykes no longer remembers much of his life before he was smuggled onto the pirate ship. His earliest memory now is of his anger and frustration at the boy who ruined his normal life just because he was a wuss and got scared of a girl. However, due to the knowledge that he would forever be stuck with this pathetic excuse for a boy, Sykes swallowed his pride and befriended the boy, growing up alongside him and gradually growing used to his personality, which seemed to conform around Zen as a focal point over time. It was this fact, the fact that Sykes realized the importance of Zen's company in his life, which drew Sykes to ignore his resentment. Hating and loathing Zen. Yet glad that he was around, and happy to be the one to put a smile on Zen's face. Sykes burned with turmoil against these opposite views on the same person. But he finally settled on being content with what Zen did, who Zen was, and how Zen had ruined his earlier life, when an undercover Ascanth Spy hired him to kill one of the largest Koga-Na mercenary groups around. The very one that Zen and Sykes were apart of. With such a vast sum of money, Sykes found a solution to his ever growing dependency on the boy he was supposed to have saved.
Kill everyone in the pirate band, picking apart the group little by little. Spare Zen's life, as after all, Sykes could never bring himself to kill his best friend, no matter how much he hated him. But after revealing to Zen that he was the one who killed every last merry member of the ship they were apart of, Zen would never want anything to do with Sykes again. This was Sykes' plan. To rid himself of his dependency. To rid himself of his nuisance and headache that seemed to never go away. And to focus on going back to an honest living. No pirates. No killing. No stealing. Just a normal life, the one he'd dreamed of while alone on the pirate ship. A life of solitary recluse, where nobody would bother him to swab the decks, to help cook the captain's meal, to get up earlier then he wanted. Just a messy life. And so Sykes set out to fulfill this dream lifestyle, and started first by commanding himself to commit himself wholly to being Zen's best friend, rather then half-heartedly, as he had earlier.
