“ that’s mine. ” it’s a loud claim, out in the open, when the rogue feels someone lurking around. that was the rule : not that they had much of a system there. but it didn’t take long for someone to get the jist of how things worked. a week, as most. pull your own weight, stake your claim. that’s it. & she’s not sure if her company was from hartly, or the rogues … but it’s better safer then sorry. “ find your own damn dinner. ”
A SMALL CHUCKLE ESCAPED HIM as he looked over at newfound company. zephyr was not at all surprised to see her, he might’ve planned the whole escapade. well, getting caught certainly was not in the script, but he’ll have to make do now. “ and how was I supposed to know? looked fine for the taking. “ the statement was sharp, not at all the soft tone he used to use. “ in fact, still might consider it. “

mini biography
not really sure when he was born exactly, a small three month (approximately) was left outside the doors of a firestation in new york city, wrapped in a raggedy tan blanket. Juggled between foster families, the baby was a handful. Continuously brought back to a residential group home where he was unofficially given the name, Zephyr.
from the ripe old age of four, zephyr figured out how to steal, hide, and hoard various things. it started out as a way for him to cope never having things that truly belong to him -- but as he got older it turned into bringing stuff for some of the other boys who grew up with him.
“the star of the show” is something he always referred to himself as, somehow always creating a ruckus when he was around. most of this stemed from his lack of respect for most, if not all, authority figures. let’s just say he was saying a big “fuck you” at the ripe ole age of 11.
always incredible gifted at schooling, he could learn & remember things with incredible ease -- one of the caretakers at the resident home (lets be real, it was a boys home orphanage but oRpHanAgEs doNt eXisT aNyMorE) noticed them & sent in an application for an incredibly well known boarding school in delaware. he got accepted along with a scholarship -- something he was not happy to learn about.
at first, he would run away most of the time, lets just say he became very acquainted with the president & security guards. eventually, he met a teacher that idk pretty much saved him from himself? the rest is kinda depending on whether or not my wanted connection is taken up so :) idk
went to college for pre-law & graduated from law school literally like 4 months before the outbreak. great timing. also never got over his problem with authority so like ?? why did a klepto become a lawyer idk he’s not smart
random headcanons: def has a secret compartment in his room where he keeps things that he’s stolen. // fucking most def has a weed section okay, everyone needs a weed section. probably also tobacco? stop judging him, he used to be an alcoholic at least... its not alcohol anymore?? right? // def leaves every other day to go vibe with the rogues & def wants to leave hartly (fuck authority haha), but like can’t abandon dad
personality
the definition of chaos. he doesn’t know the meaning of “calm down.” is literally always on the go, will talk your ear off if at all possible.
he’s ?? nice, but also an incredible asshole. he just doesn’t understand a lot of social cues? homie was raised in an all boys home like he’s trying okay !
the very definition of the smartest, dumb person you’ve ever met. but its okay because he’s pretty.
has a temper.. like a really bad temper. i’m really sorry, but he’ll throw a punch but he’ll also bring you ice and help u get better after <3
will probably steal from you sorry he cant help it. he’s baby but don’t worry bc he’ll fight you in a heartbeat!
idk what to say.. he’s just a very lovable dumbass????? idk idk
has a lot of abandonment issues & this whole zombie, everyone dying thing is not very helpful for this. is always stressed.
