Story Summary:
Zondike was born into a middle class family. His parents were soldiers that protected and aided Ruleroar. One day, his parents were sent on a mission outside the city to the east and disappeared. He was only 8 years old at the time. Without his parents to provide for him, Zondike began to lose money and was forced to move to the 3rd class district.
A month after his parents disappeared, Zondike, while running from a bunch of bullies, accidentally bumped into Skydan. Skydan apologized even though it was Zondike's fault. The bullies caught up, but Skydan told them to back off. The bullies recognized Skydan as the son of Skyvorse and Danmiana and ran away. Zondike enthusiastically thanked Skydan for helping him and offered to sit with him at lunch. Skydan was pleasantly surprised because no kids wanted to spend time with him before, so he accepted the offer.
At lunch, Zondike told Skydan how his parents disappeared and he was living in the 3rd class district. Skydan felt sympathy for him. He suggested Zondike try to practice carpentry because of his abnormally strong physical strength. Zondike took Skydan's advice and started practicing at the 3rd class district's workshop. Although he was young, Zondike really enjoyed making furniture and several other crafts. After thanking Skydan, the two of them became good friends.
Zondike felt that Skydan had been through worse than him. At least he knew what it was like to have good parents. Skydan never had that since his parents died before he hatched, and the royal family was not treating him like a true son. Skydan is Zondike's best friend. Soon, they made three other friends that they all became the Skyhoods.
Powers and Abilities:
Zondike is a fire elemental with standard fire. However, his fire abilities are somewhat lacking due to having little time in his life to practice and develop them. Though his fire breath is strong, it is nothing entirely impressive compared to most others. He knows the basic techniques of dragonman fire attacks, but his skills and power in them need improvement. His fire balls are rather small and do not explode very well, and his comet attack does not fully envelop him.
Though Zondike's elemental skills are slightly below average, he makes up for it for his intense, highly impressive melee combat skills. Zondike's physical strength is his most prominent power. His fighting moves are very complex and almost as powerful as the Masters. His punches can shatter thick blocks of stone and his claws can slice through the toughest of hides and scales. He is also flexible enough to attack with kicks.
One of Zondike's special attributes is his passion, which greatly empowers him. What he lacks in overall power and skill, he makes up for in courage, determination, and heart. He never lets himself be discouraged and always keeps his heart strong and motivated. No negative emotions could ever faze his fighting. He is also physically incredibly tough and can endure severe injuries in battle. Zondike can endure crushing blows that would break average fighters' bones. His physical strength works well as a good defense as well as offense.
Personality:
Zondike is a kind, energetic, funny guy who is always positive and hopeful. Despite being a struggling 3rd class citizen, he's rarely sad and always looks on the bright side of things.
Zondike loves to be noticed by his friends and those he looks up to, like the masters. Although many say his elemental powers are 'nothing special,' he doesn't let that stop him from trying to become stronger. His physical strength more than makes up for it anyway.
Some of the few things that make Zondike sad or angry is being underestimated or insulted. Mostly by enemies. Still, he doesn't show it much, though he'll often try to make a comeback.
Fun Fact:
Zondike can speak Spanish and has a slight Spanish accent.
