Character Appearance:
Chris stands at a decent height of 6’2” and weights about 190 lbs. He doesn’t really look that heavy but he is built solid. Due to a gene in the family, his skin looks rather pale, even though he is outside very often. He has black hair that is cut so that it just comes to his eyes, which are a bright hazel in color. He wears either black or red shirts depending upon how angry he is, as well as what Zoid he wants to pilot that day. If he is wearing black then he will be piloting the Blade Liger, if red, he will be piloting the König Wolf. Usually you'll find him wearing black jeans, held up by a black belt. Occasionally He'll have a black cap on his head. On the cap is an emblem of a hawk holding an orb within it's talons.
When he is really angry or really depressed, he will be wearing a silver necklace bearing a hawk’s claw holding a round orb. With the necklace, he will be wearing a matching silver ring with the same type of design under the middle diamond gemstone. Around the outside are two names, one is his, Chris Mazumis, the other is a woman's name, Amber Mcloud.
Character Personality:
Chris is generally outgoing and likable, but at times he can jump the gun and is ready to fight. This usually happens on either three different days, or if he's provoked enough. He really doesn’t like snot-nosed, arrogant people who think they're greater then everyone else. He will fight if he feels the fight is honorable and has a meaningful reason. Chris can be a very forgiving person to those who deserve and ask for it. For those who do not, he will continue to rebel against them until they either learn that they are wrong or prove me to be wrong.
History:
Chris was born in huge city on a late Friday night. He was given the name Christopher Jacob Daniel Mccellion that day, however that wasn't the case afterward. On this fateful day Christopher and a child named James Mazumis were accidentally switched. This incident is how Christopher grew up under the name Mazumis, his parents being Samantha and Joe Mazumis. For the next 10 years Chris grew up as James, but would later on find out that he has been living another child's life.
At the age of 10, Chris' mom fell ill with a kidney disease that was slowly killing her. Both Joe and Chris were tested to see who could be a possible donor, and when the test was done, there were some errors in the original blood taken at birth and this one, but he was still a match. After the transplant to his mom, they had a DNA test done. The results came back showing that Chris was in no relation to either Samantha or Joe Mazumis.
Chris stayed around and helped his parents with their family business, working on Zoids for a living. That’s when he learned of his fathers other life. His father was originally a Zoids fighter, proudly taking on all comers in his mighty Blade Liger. This Zoid had a wide range of weapons and different modifications. Chris loved this Zoid. He took very good care of it and learned how to do maintenance on Zoids with it. This experience led him to join his father in working on them.
When Chris was 15, he started learning how to pilot the Blade Liger. Soon after, he began to train so he can participate in Zoids battles. During this time, a strange man entered the shop and requested some pretty insane upgrades to his Shadow Fox. For the type of upgrades that he wanted it would cost about 50,000+. Not too state another 10,000+ for all the labor it would take. Chris’ father was happy to take this job and he started right away.
Three days later, that same man came back with a few friends who looked quite strange. Joe Mazumis took the Shadow Fox too the man and along with the bill. The man laughed, and with a swift movement, he raised a gun and shot Joe through the chest, making him collapse. Samantha, hearing all the commotion, ran out to see what was going on. As soon as she found Joe in the ground, she screamed and was just as quickly shot and killed by the same man. Chris, scare for his life, went and hid in the cockpit of the Blade Liger. A few minutes later the whole house has blown up, taking the whole area out. A efw hours later, when it was believed to be safe, Chris left the Zoid and went to his father, who had crawled from were he was too his Wife. Joe finally told Chris that his real father came looking for him 3 years ago after the DNA test.
Chris listened to everything that his father told him. About his real, what happened at the hospital, and that his family lived in a bigger city to the south. Joe slowly passed away from the wound. Chris sat there momentarily, a shine catching the corner of his eye. Around Joe's neck was a necklace. Chris took his father’s necklace which is the hawk’s claw with the orb in it that he wears. Chris booted up the Blade Liger and walked it out of the woods from behind the house. He used the claws of the Blade Liger to dig his parent's graves. After he was done with that, he said a prayer for his Mom and Dad, put up a few pieces of wood with their names engraved in them, and left a statement with the graves. He looked over the Blade Liger and took off any additional armaments. With his new Blade Liger, he took off towards the south, looking for his real family.
Finally, after a month passed, Chris found his true family, Christina and David Mccellion. He learned that 4-5 years ago, his alternate persona, James Mazumis, had joined a Zoids academy with a König Wolf. James, like his true mother, fell under a strong kidney disease and also passed away. The König Wolf was never sold or changed at all but always well maintained. Chris decided to legally change his name from James Mazumis to a combination of his and James', now going by Chris James David Mazumis.
Chris stayed with his new, and at the same time, old, family, learning about them and about James. He also met most of James’ friends including Amber Mcloud. Amber saw James as a brother, but when she met Chris, she saw something more then what she did in James, but could never bring herself to admit it too Chris. Chris insured that he wasn’t trying to take James’ place, he was just trying to learn what type of man he was.
While searching through his many things, Chris finds an old Japanese sword with what appears to be a set of old Japanese Katakana. Chris took it around the town looking for a person that could translate the characters and learn what the sword had written on it. When Chris became 18 he found a person that could translate it, but the person was having some trouble with a few people coming by and threatening his life. Chris told him to translate it for him and he would help and try to protect him for a little bit. The sword had three words on it: The first, Honor, the second, Hope, and finally, the third word, Judgment. The old man went through many books and found an other man from long ago with a similar sword, one containing the same writings. The writings told the people, of that time, that the sword was the symbol of that kingdom.
Chris listened to the whole story and learned that James once heard the same story, giving him a slogan that he could, and he has lived by. After a few hours of talking with the old man he learned everything he could about this sword. Shortly after, they heard a noise in the front. Chris took the sword and put it on his belt and walked out front with the old man. There were a group of guys that were wrecking the place. Chris took a good look at the leader of the group, seeing it was the same man who shot and killed his father and Mother. Chris told the men too leave and to never return.
The men laughed and went on destroying the store. Chris drew the blade and slashed at a few of the men, not killing them, just injuring them too the point where they would fall down and passed out from pain. Chris held the sword in a Kendo style stance and was waiting for the others. The other henchmen ran off, the leader staying back a moment, swore they would get back at Chris and they would kill him and his family. Chris sheathed his sword and looked at the old man, bowing to the man and thanking him for the translation. Chris apologized for the mess and helped clean it up, then left.
Chris went back home and explained everything to his parents, giving them the details about the fight and what had happened. They agreed that was the right thing to do, but just too be on the safe side they reported it to the police and an investigation was held. It was found that the men that he wounded were from the Backdraft Organization. Chris found this out and he decided that instead of bringing in his Mom and Dad into this fight and bringing them down with him, he decided to leave without any proof of even being there.
As he was about to leave, his Dad told him to join up for the Zoids battle, wanting to have Chris remember where he truly comes from and wanting him too learn what James once knew about Zoids and fighting. So, for that reason, they could remain in his mind and in his heart. They gave him James' most prized possessions, the König Wolf and the katana. Chris hugged both of them and went on his way. One gesture Chris did to keep James even more high in spirit, Chris hung the katana behind the pilot's seat in the König Wolf.
Now with Chris being 21, and with two strong Zoids, he went and filled out all the paper work he needed and filed everything. Finally, Chris is now an official Zoids Warrior. With the info correct and passed through the system, and with the two Zoids on the transport and money in hand, he leaves to find his first opponent. Chris heads, hopefully, into a world of good battles and maybe into a war zone with the Backdraft Organization.
