The Outside and the In


Face Claim/PB

John Oliver
Appearance:
Zazu isn't quite sure how he ended up the way he did, but he's overwhelmingly fine with his appearance, given that he's now taller than a few inches. At least he has a face and body type that matches his somewhat out-of-place accent - it was always strange to him in the Pride Lands, having a much different speech and temperament pattern than most of those around him. He's now a lanky, unassuming thirty-something male in appearance, with dark hair, beady eyes, and fairly neutral taste in clothing. He's seen how some of the other people in Tenebrae ended up with their unusual coloring from the real world, but none of that carried over for Zazu. He does like navy blue as a clothing color, for what it's worth.

Zazu makes up for his generic English-esque appearance with his dress sense, which is best described as posh. He's almost always in a suit, or at least a suit jacket with a button-down. Even his casual clothes involve button-down shirts and slacks. Zazu wouldn't be caught dead in denim, or fleece, or sweatpants - dear Lord, no, Zazu was the King's Major Domo, and he is going to dress like an important person. He also wears fairly simple wire-rimmed glasses to compliment these looks. He won't go with trendy frames, as those tend to look dated very quickly. His look is very classic, able to transcend the flow of time.

The only thing Zazu misses are his wings. Flying was so much fun. Now, though, he can walk faster, which is a bit of a plus. He generally walks tall, but isn't very conspicuous in a crowd - he just looks like your average adult male on his way to work. He doesn't go out of his way to draw attention to himself usually, either. He used to be made a bit of a fool of for Simba's sake, but last Zazu knew, Simba was dead... so there's no point in ridiculousness or frivolity.


Personality: [We'd like at least a good couple of paragraphs for this,
so we can judge how good a grasp you have of the character. You could
talk about their general attitude towards life, how they are around
strangers, is that different to what they're like once they get to know
somebody? This is all the sort of thing we'd like to know.]

Right Up to that Key Moment

History:
[Given the potential memory loss, this can be a bit of a problem.
We would prefer 2-3 paragraphs of history, but there are several ways of doing this:
If your character remembers everything, please just give us their history
up until they Shifted. For lesser-known characters, it is entirely
appropriate (and good) to flesh out their history beyond what the source
tells us.
If your character remembers only parts or none of their
history, there are two options, firstly you can detail their history as
normal and afterwards note how much of this they remember themselves, or
secondly you can only provide the details they remember. If you choose
the latter, please write out their entire history separately and send it
to a staff member so we have a note of it.]
Key Moment:
Zazu has been imprisoned by Scar to be his major-domo in the cage of ribs, and is proceeding to attempt to just annoy Scar as much as possible. It's his only recourse against his terrible situation... and all of a sudden, after screeching out another chorus of "I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts", he was swept away.

A Roleplaying Shift

RP Sample:
[Please make your RP sample their arrival into our world and subsequent retrieval by Tenebrae staff.
All new characters start from their arrival in this world, so this
serves as a character introduction as well as an RP sample. Where did
they end up? Is there anybody around? Do they resist the staff? In this
instance you have permission to NPC the staff members, remember that
they would initially be polite, friendly, and offering of help, and only
become firmer if the shifted resists.
The Tenebrae Staff Code of Conduct Regarding Victims of Reality Displacement

- Ensure VRD cooperation]
