Not tgd related but I absolutely love how you draw the deadly six!! Do you have any HCs for them? Perfectly fine if not tho!
This is just reminding me to proooobably edit my pinned post. I like talking about other stuff outside of TGD too lmao
And thank you for the ask! Don’t expect anything on Zavok, Zik, or Zor in particular. I’m not sure exactly what to do with them yet.
I actually ended up typing so much for ONE Zeti that I feel like I should split the Zeti into separate posts LMAO
not sure if I wanna call these HCs or an entirely different take on the guy. whatever man
If you count his horns, he’s just barely shorter than Zomom. Though, his horrible posture makes it seem like he’s closer to Zavok’s height. He doesn’t try to make himself bigger when he’s trying to intimidate others, though. Compared to the average Mobian, he’s already taller than them to begin with.
His appearance, outfit wise anyway, is similar to a few of his costumes in the mobile racing games, leaning heavily into the punk aesthetic. I feel like he’d be the type to get a shit ton of piercings just for the fun of it.
His nails are an absolute mess. It’s hard to find ONE that isn’t chipped or broken to the point of them being dull.
ALWAYS has an injury on his body, no matter how small or large. If the bandaging actually looks like it was well done, he wasn’t the one who applied it. Everything he has otherwise is pretty shoddily done. Similarly, he’s got scars. Lots of them. Most of them are located around his limbs and his lower chest.
Skinny. To the point that it’s somewhat concerning. Not to mention he’s extremely fragile, 2nd only to Zor. He gets hurt easily, is my point.
Not sure where to put this specific one, but I like the idea of the Zeti having varying levels of skill when it comes to controlling different types of machines. For Zazz specifically, he’s not the best with complex mechanisms, but he sure as hell can make it do whatever it’s made for very fast.
Like canon, loves to pick fights with other people. He flaunts and boasts on how much he’s able to take. Any other non-violent activity seems to bore him.
I like to think he isn’t able to sit still. Both in the “I need to move. I cannot be restrained” way, but also the “I cannot find a single comfortable position right now and it’s pissing me off” way. Doesn’t help that he’s injured all the time and more than likely sore somewhere.
When it comes to actually fighting amongst his fellow Zeti, he finds himself usually leaning towards practicing with Zomom. He finds Zor to be too easy, loses frequently to Zavok and Zik, and although it’s usually 50/50 with Zeena, it’s Zomom that he likes to use as a stress relief punching bag, mostly cause the former can’t be harmed by someone of Zazz’s strength.
A VERY sore loser. Fits of rage tend to be common with him. Breaking whatever’s in his line of sight, even if it hurts him more to do so.
EXCEPT when in front of Zavok. And..sometimes Zik? I’m pulling this exclusively from the Crossworlds interactions, but when presented with something he finds scary, he’s actually kind of a wimp? You put this man into a haunted house and he’s gonna be spooked out of his mind. Literally. He yells that he wants to go home when on a scary track LMAOOO
His louder personality becomes more subdued and meek when Zavok addresses him specifically. There’s a lot of ways to interpret how they interact with each other in canon, but my personal take is that Zazz is genuinely afraid of him. Or at the very least, doesn’t want to be the one on the receiving end of his anger. He makes a comment on how Zavok has hurt him worse than what Espio did in the IDW comics..so.
On the topic of Zavok since it’s on my mind. I don’t ship Zazz and Zavok together. No disrespect to the ship itself ofc, I just see the Deadly Six as a more familial group. It’s just not my cup of tea for that reason alone.
I’m inclined to say that his general behavior is kind of..self-destructive?? He loves fighting, but isn’t so fond of the idea of actually being beaten. He’s insanely reckless, desperate to cause harm until he physically can’t anymore. Because of that, I HC that he doesn’t take care of himself super well, either, outside of managing injuries. Not necessarily that he can’t, he just doesn’t care, nor does he see why he should.
