Species: Patchwork of Human, Protoss, and Robotic
Parts

History: Sirocco Zephyr, once known as Zephirus Darkwind, was brought to his current form after a fierce
battle with an alien lifeform in which he took
serious damage. He was rescued by the Markior and the
crew of his ship, the great Protoss Carrier known as
the Gantrithor
II. During the time it took for
Sirocco's body to be rebuilt, the Gantrithor II
attacked the Genesis, the massive
warship/fortress that had been awakened by Pseudo Havering. The ship went down
in the crash, along with Astra Yoshima,
the Yoshian Prince of Suahar.
Astra found Sirocco fully rebuilt inside a tank of rejuvenating
liquid. While at first taken aback by the Patchwork, he freed him. Sirocco was
distraught by his new form. After a bit of getting used to his new body,
Sirocco emerged from the ship and joined Astra in
entering the Genesis. They fought in
the battle against Havering, and now that Havering has been defeated, Sirocco
sees no more purpose for his existence. Without his old body, he has no home
anymore...Zolott is his home. And so he has parted
with the rest of the group for the time being to adapt to a new life on Zolott, and to train and develop his new abilities. During
this time, he develops both his Martial Arts and his magical ability, creating
the 'Bakuretsu-Te' martial arts techniques and honing
his skills with elemental magics, specifically fire,
ice, lightning, and of course wind.
Powers and Abilities: Sirocco has added his fists to his repertoire of weapons,
which previously only included his energy gun. He has the devastating Bakuretsu-Te martial arts style, and various elemental
magic. Some of his techniques are:
Velociter - a destructive punch that uses built-up
speed from Sirocco's thrusters to increase the damage.
Candelabra - a fire-elemental spell that sends a stream of fireballs at an
enemy.
Flashbang - a lightning-elemental spell that sends a
ball of lightning that constantly flashes blindingly at an opponent.
Ice Cap - an ice-elemental spell that drops a sheet of ice on
an enemy.
Cannons of
Thorn Breeze - a wind-elemental attack that sends 'thorns' of
air at an enemy.
Shishi-Mari - one of the most powerful 'Bakuretsu-Te' techniques. It uses the electricity feeding
the many robotic parts of Sirocco's body as a power source for the energy gun,
firing a massive energy ball with nuclear capabilities in terms of destruction.
Since it runs off Sirocco's power, he is weakened below attacking ability
temporarily after this attack is used.
In addition to these abilities, Sirocco still retains his wrist, eye, and
shoulder lasers, as well as his thrusters on his back and the ability to sense
heat with his infrared eye.
Weaknesses: Being 1/3 robotic, Sirocco has a particular weakness to
electricity. If he is overwhelmed by too much voltage at once, he will break
down, and will remain in a state of 'stasis' until he is repaired. Though he
can repair himself slowly, it is much more efficient for him to be repaired by
someone else. He also has a weakness to water.
Physical Stats:
Height: 6'4"

Eye Color: Left eye full-yellow, right eye red with
plexiglass shield; both glow
Hair Color: Black (original hair was lost, so strands
of Protoss hair were substituted)
Distinctive Traits: Robotic legs with talons on feet and knees bent backward,
human chest, grey Protoss arms, human head with patch
of grey Protoss skin around left eye and patch of
metal around right, panels on wrists and shoulders.

the circle
Other Important Stuff To Know: Sirocco lives on a side
of the world opposite the rest of the group at the outset of the story. There
he faces a very different situation as the local villagers persecute him for
his Patchwork body, and the self-proclaimed dictator of the area, Eversor de Syforthe, frequently
tries to have him killed.
