Synopsis
The Blue Rose Prince of Magara, an imaginary land made up in one girl's mind. Once a pawn, he is now a king...
Description
His age is unknown, though Megan Edwards postulates him to be between the ages of 16 and 18. Black hair that falls in slightly unruly, and yet perfectly styled, waves to his startlingly blue eyes and around the nape of his neck. His skin is pale, as if he has never seen the sun... and indeed, where can a ray of natural light be found within the depths of his castle?
On days when Zachariah is feeling casual, he can be found wearing a loose, long-sleeved shirt with closed cuffs, loose black slacks, comfortable black boots, and either a dark blue or black vest. Nowadays, though, he apparently is not feeling as casual as he used to... He lounges in his dark throne room in a royal jacket of dark blue velvet, stiff black pants, and boots so polished they seem to cast back reflections.
His crowning glory (pardon the pun) is a silver diadem ornamented with single large sapphire, immaculately cut to look like a rose.
Personality
Zachariah was always slightly solemn, but at least before his Awakening he could crack a smile. Now, a smile would be viewed as completely out of the ordinary, perhaps even something to be feared. More grim-faced than ever before, it is difficult to see beneath the mask he has created for himself, if indeed it is a false expression.
Where he was tender, he is stern. To that he was warm towards, he is cold. To that which he loved, he treats with disdain... and sometimes, perhaps even worse, disinterest.
The only thing that does not seem to have changed is the deep affection he feels for his garden of blue roses.
Equipment / Abilities
No matter what Zachariah is wearing, whether or not he places his crown on his head in the morning, he always wears the sapphire ring that is shaped like a rose, a smaller version of the gemstone in his diadem.
He plays the violin with moving skill, and manipulates his voice as powerfully as his fingers over the strings and bow.
The Blue Rose Prince was never seen to hold a sword or any other weapon... but then again, before then he never needed to...
History
He was originally dreamed up by Megan Edwards, arisen out of a desperate need for companionship... and love. For he loved Megan, or at least claimed to... He gave her everything she desired--beautiful music, imaginatively woven tales--from the bottom of his heart, or at least he said.
Megan dreamed of Zachariah for over a year, until the fateful day of her parents' deaths, until the week when sleep brought no dreams, but nightmares. Now that she has returned to the land of Magara, the land of her dreams, and to Zachariah, the man of her dreams, it seems that even her sleeping refuge has changed for the worse.
For now Zachariah is bitter towards Megan, telling her that he did not love her of his own volition. He says that he was under her control, acting because of her own "selfish" desires. He quietly triumphs in the fact that he is now free, that now, truly the Blue Rose Prince of Magara, he is the one in charge of this dream world, not Megan.
But how will he react when he learns that she doesn't remember anything about Magara... or him?
