Description
Quick Ref for Zak for Cinsa. A few things might be different, because I deleted the last one and that was, what, 2 years ago, but most of the basic info should be the same.

Name: Zackary Garrison
Nickname(s): Zak
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Species: Werewolf
Backstory: Zak was an ordinary person once. And by ordinary, I mean ordinary-he wasn't constantly flinching, he wasn't scared of his own shadow, he didn't talk to snakes (or one snake in particular), and he wanted to become a psychiatrist. So he studied medicine and the mind, and about halfway through getting his bachelor's degree, his dear dead mother crawls out of her grave and demands he become a necromancer.
So he becomes a necromancer.
The process of becoming one (in his world at least) is so horrid that nobody comes out of it without gaining a crippling phobia or two. In his case, unfortunately, it was a list so staggering that everyone assumed he was afraid of everything and left it at that.
These fears come back to haunt him as, one day, trying to master his second spell, he sees a spider, screws up the pronunciation, and becomes a reverse lycanthrope. This means that he becomes human every full moon.
The end.
Personality: When not under the influence of fear-Rational, thoughtful, helpful, and withdrawn. Aside from his familiar, he's never connected with anyone, and as such, doesn't know how to properly deal with people. Aside from that, he's a perfectly acceptable person, always trying to do good and whatnot like the pansy he is. When under the influence of fear-Significantly less rational, panicked, slightly self-absorbed, and wary of everything that twitches, depending on phobia severity. Once in a frenzy, he has extreme difficulty calming down, particularly without the aid of his familiar. If left to himself, he tries to do breathing exercises to steady his nerves-this often fails. Despite this, he's not a coward-if desperate enough, he's willing to face his fears head on.
Habits/Notes: He trembles a lot. This has nothing to do with his nervous disposition, and he's not sure why he does.
He suffers from very mild osteoporosis.
He also crouches a lot-probably in an attempt to look small.
Battle Notes:
The only necromancer spell he ever actually learned was resurrectio mortuus (“awakening dead”, or something similar. >.>). This causes a bunch of dead bodies to crawl out of the ground and attack a target of his choosing. This requires a bit of concentration, however, and there needs to actually be dead people underground beforehand. While they're not really that powerful, the “zombies” are persistent, and in great numbers can be an effective force. Plus, they're just plain creepy. Works best in a graveyard.
When in a panicked frenzy, he reverts to “werewolf instincts”-biting and slashing at anything that moves. While there's almost no strength in his swipes, his teeth are surprisingly sharp, and could probably do some real damage. He's also very quick and agile, due to being so light and, as already stated, a werewolf.
While being unable to take stress well and (mostly) lacking in killer instinct, he is able to strategize and plan attacks to some degree.

Snark is Zak's familiar. Zak becomes agitated whenever they're separate, because A) He's technically Zak's only friend, B) Snark enhances his magic, and C) Zak has troubles calming down without him.
Snark seems to treat everyone with a cool disdain. He has a monotonous sort of emotional range, probably to cancel out Zak's jitters. He's always calm and collected, no sense of humour, no fears, and no pet peeves. He does have a general sort of urge to help out Zak though, if only because he's his master.

Snark is the one stuck in Corruption palace.

If you need any more info Cinsa, just tell me and I'll add it.
