Description: Zzan is a slight man with long, thick hair of a rich, dark brown, streaked twice down his right side with silver, almost always worn loose down to his shoulder-blades. His eyes are a pleasant brown and skin a light tan, from his constant travels. He walks with a noticable limp, especially when tired, and leans on a staff of dark, gnarled wood. His favorite colors to wear are blue, violet, and gold, and he usually wears loose robes, as befitting a healer and mage. .
Personality: Zzan is a pleasant, unobtrusive personality. He is usually polite, though at times the need to get things done results in an unusual, for him, assertiveness. People in authority tend to make him uncomfortable, especially men and especially those who flaunt their power, though he readily accepts the authority itself. On the whole, he prefers to be alone or in the company of personalities as mild as himself, but is at the same time drawn to powerful personalities, so long as they are safely in the personages of women. He cannot stand seeing any creature in pain and will do his best to ease it should he have the chance, being compassionate to a fault. He is a staunch pacifist and will not harm another even if it means harm coming to himself. Failing at saving his own world, even if it wasn't at all his fault that he and his fellows failed, has filled him with a lot of guilt, much to his companion Dracona's concern and disgust.
History:  Most humans in Kyzzyni were evil, chaotic, and and part of a hated minority relegated to a small set of islands from which they made war on the anthromorphic animal people of the mainland kingdoms. Zzandorallen, usually simply called Zzan, spent the first fifteen years of his life on the human island as a fluke. He wasn't like most humans. He hated fighting and preferred to heal rather than hurt. To make his life even more difficult, he was gifted with magical power which helped him accomplish his goal of healing. After trying to beat the strangeness out of their son, his parents sent him to the priests of Flarn, the dark god of the humans. Unwilling to dirty their hands with killing the boy, they cast Zzan adrift towards the mainland where they assumed he would simply be murdered simply for being human.

Somehow surviving the trip itself, Zzan hid himself among the rocks of the beach and forced himself to learn the difficult self-shaping magics: difficult for him, for he had little talent with magic aside from healing or harmless illusion. Despite its tiring effect on him, it was necessary for his survival, for should any of the furred or scaled natives discover who and what he was, all he could expect was instant death. He traveled to the capitol of the seemingly peaceful country, hiding who he was, intending to try to plead his case to the queen in the hopes of being an honest citizen, despite his unfortunate species.

Instead, he found himself brought before the oldest and wisest of Kyzzyni's gods, Ilynessa Herself, given the task of being Her Avatar to try and save Kyzzyni, and gifted with fully half of Her powers. Joined by other Avatars, first the dragon-morph Dracona and then others, they did the best they could-- but despite everything, their best wasn't enough, and the army of evil spread more quickly than the simple, mortal Avatars could act. Kyzzyni was destroyed, and the Avatars should have died with their world, but with the last ounce of her power Ilynessa snatched her chosen and the dragon lady Dracona-- his closest friend within the small circle of bickering, frightened, and often confused Avatars-- out of Apocalypse and threw them into the comparative safety of the first world that presented itself: Mythicalae.

Magic: Though his patron goddess is far away and quite likely either destroyed or completely drained of power, Zzandorallen still retains most of his god-given abilities-- though already they are fading, slowly, as he is out of contact with Her and the world he came from. At the rate they fade, within three years or so he expects to be his normal, mostly mundane self again, though for now he still is forced to wield powers that only make him feel guilty. 

Healing magic is the strongest of Zzan's abilities, as Ilynessa simply augmented his own ability, but he also has powerful magic in divination, enchantments, and transfiguration. Some of the magic gifted him is battle magic, but he tries to use this as little as possible, and so it appears only in extreme emergencies or instinctively in life-threatening situations.
