Zelgadis Greywords ~ Slayers

Zelgadis actually...smiling ^_^vBackground

Zelgadis is the grandson of Rezo, the Red Priest.  As a youth, Zelgadis desired power and strength.  When Rezo approached him with an offer of such, he accepted it eagerly.  However, Rezo failed to mention that in gaining this power, Zelgadis would turn into a chimeric mix of human, golem, and demon.  Disturbed with his newly gotten body, Zelgadis swore vengeance on Rezo.  It was through Rezo that Zelgadis met up with Lina and her crew.

Mentally...

I quickly became attached to his serious, though sometimes bitter or sarcastic, attitude.  He is very intelligent, and usually has a plan when things get bad.  Plus, you gotta love his artistic side!  In TRY, we see that Zel is not only a sculptor, but a musician as well. ^_^   Though, I can't help but wish that he would finally realize that appearance isn't what matters.  After all, look at Lina, Gourry, and the rest of the group.  They all met him after he had become a chimera, and they weren't bothered by his appearance...heck, Amelia is rather obviously in love with him!  He would be so much happier if he would stop worrying about his chimeric body and accept that he is still himself, no matter what his body looks like.  But then, that slight air of gloominess is part of what make Zel, Zel. *shrugs*

Physically...

Despite his own hatred of his appearance, I don't find it at all repulsive...I think it's attractive ^_^  That light cyan colored skin accents his lavender hair (again with the hair!) and blue eyes nicely.  The only thing that would be bad is that, since he is one third rock golem, his hair and skin are all rock hard (Please, no vulgarisms!)  So it'd be hard to run your fingers through that gorgeous hair of his, or to cuddle him ^_^;; 

Vocally...

I love his voice...whether Hikaru Midorikawa *drool* or Crispin Freeman, Zel has a great voice.  And he can sing....just listen to "More Than Words" or "We Are..."  ^_^
