WELCOME TO LOS EUROSIA,
Zane Antonio Fowler
"Subtle is sometimes the way to go."
BASICS
NAME: Zane Antonio Fowler
AGE: 22
BIRTHDATE: 12/11/2000
PRONOUNS: He/Him
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: Researcher/Graduate student/Occasional mechanic
NEIGHBORHOOD: Downtown
MEMBER GROUP: The Sector
POWERS:Power Sensing/Power NegationThere are two aspects to Zane’s powers, powers that he is not aware he has. One is his gift to sense those who are likewise gifted within about a fifteen foot radius of himself. This sense triggers a tingling at the back of his skull, causing a minor throb in his skull to a full blown migraine the nearer he is, as well as his hair standing on end or getting goose bumps. This sense is strong enough he can acutely pinpoint the direction said individual is but cannot decipher which person unless it is obvious.
Secondly, Zane can extend an “effect field” from his body that cancels out other abilities or dampens them to an extent depending on how powerful the gift in question is. This field can extend to a twenty foot radius and he does not have to be touching the person or looking at them. He can turn this ability on and off subconsciously, usually in response to the powers he senses. This effect can be felt physically, in a sense of one needing to catch their breathe or feeling ill, and mentally, as if something has been “switched off” in their mind.
THE LOOKS
HEIGHT: 6'
WEIGHT: 235 lbs
HAIR COLOR: Black
EYE COLOR: Brown
FACE CLAIM: Alfred Enoch
OVERALL APPEARANCE: Zane is a fairly tall young man, standing at a whopping six feet and seven inches, with a lanky but muscular build to his body. He is fairly athletically built and lean with broad shoulders and strong facial features, most prominently having high cheek bones and a rather friendly face. He has a dark complexion, brown eyes, and black hair with matching facial hair. To some, he looks rather youthful even with a mustache and beard, more so when he shaves it all once in a blue moon.
Attire wise, Zane comes off as that Indians Jones vibe or being a biker boy explorer hybrid in his get up. He is most often seen in dark blue jeans, boots of some kind, and plain t-shirts or muscle shirts, most often stained and dirtied from his explorations or normal day job. Nevertheless, he also will wear business casual attire such as button down plaid shirts and rolled up sleeves and occasionally black jeans and nice polished black shoes. One thing he does wear constantly is a worn dark brown leather jacket with a pirate’s flag on the back and fur lining along the collar, a family heirloom passed down through seven generations thus far.

OVERALL PERSONALITY: Zane is a young man who is primarily laid-back and easy-going. He is the someone that usually goes with the flow of life in some ways, someone you can approach with relative ease. A life with little has made him humble and appreciate the simple or having little in life. He is quite modest and generally prefers to keep things simple and basic. He is one to sometimes keep to himself yet has no issues sliding into a social scene. Zane was always the one willing to help a stranger or offer a kind word for those who are down. He is compassionate by nature and generally has an appreciation for life.
Beneath this though, Zane is also a bright young man, albeit not what you would call a genius. He is attentive and dedicated, sometimes overly driven and a workaholic but sets out to always do things to the fullest. He likes adventure and going places where he has never been, or tracking down the unusual. From this, he shows a deep rooted curiosity and is unafraid of the unknown to the point of fearlessness. He embraces what he does not know and attempts to understand it. And sometimes he gets so engrossed he can forget himself sometimes, including his health. And there are times that Zane is a little too trusting, but can be firm and steadfast when he needs to be.

Rosemary Fowler, mother

PETS:

HISTORY:
Zane comes from a bloodline strong with potential for Gifted individuals. In fact, his ancestors hail back as far as living in Barcelona, Spain up until about when his paternal great-grandfather decided to make a life elsewhere. Eventually, this man would marry and come to settle in Los Eurosia where three generations later along came Zane and his siblings, making them Los Eurosia natives.
However, Zane’s family has always been on the lower end of the social spectrum, not quite impoverished but not quite middle class either. Often his parents would work long hours and requiring Zane to stay home alone or with his grandfather who was still living at the time. Though they had little, Zane himself grew fascinated with the prospect of history and gifted individuals, more so when Erik, his grandfather, told him and later his siblings their family history and their sensory based powers. When still young, Zane made many trips to Los Eurosia’s local library or going to his school’s during free times to study history and gradually grew to have an interest in studying others’ gifts. What Zane never knew was he himself had gifts but they were far more subtle than his siblings so he often shrugged them off as nothing more than a knack for knowing when someone had something unusual about them.
Growing up, Zane did show a talent for remembering most information and patterns, finding he had a photographic memory and was quite bright. He used much of his spare time taking advantage of this with studying and pushing himself to be better, hoping to one day help his family out. By his high school years, taking additional classes as well as being involved in extracurriculars helped drive Zane to progress a bit further than his peers by a year. As a result, he graduated high school by 17 before going to S. C. University on a scholarship where he jumped right into his Bachelor’s programs: History and Taxonomy, more so towards Taxonomy with his desire to better understand those who were gifted. His goal being to bring such appearances to light but in a positive way for others to understand.
Such studies he finished by the time he was 20, and taking a year off to work as well as do an internship at one of the university’s labs. One such professor he worked with was also employed to the Sector. Seeing potential in the young man, and recognizing something different about Zane, he suggested Zane join the organization as well. Shocked yet thrilled, the young man happily took the job offer as it offered more money and more resources for him to pursue his true research work, causing him take his mechanic job more of a side gig for the time being.
Now, a couple years later, Zane is a year into his Master’s degree and has centered his thesis on the theory of Gifted individuals.
