Uzi[edit]
Uzi is a visionary. He is more stern and quiet than his Twin Cousin Enzi, and certainly has far less a love for the limelight. He enjoys particularly working behind the scenes and influencing events unnoticed. Like his Cousin, he is a Trenahi of Royal blood.
He may be a hard man, but underneath his seemingly brutal methods is a considerable compassion. He may be seemingly apathetic to the fate of individuals, but to people as a whole, he can brook no harm. That is the origins of his ideology of a perfectly totalitarian state, wherein evil is entirely, perfectly and eternally stamped out. It is to this end that he commits all his actions.
Uzi tends to be a little defensive, particularly of his lover Melinda, the ex-mercenary captain. He is quick to meet threats with violence, and, as you might of guessed, over-reacts quite a bit. He is dedicated to force as the ultimate solution, and sees all his guile as merely the aquisition and application of force in an intellegent way.
This being said, he is not cruel to people he meets unless he percieves them as an enemy or noticable obsticle. He will be kind to the helpless if he personally comes across them, and is really quite generous.
Uzi is less eccentric in behaviour than Enzi, and generally enjoys a reputation of intellegence, again in contrast to his cousin.
His strength is comparable to Enzi's, and he too has the potential to be one of the most powerful persons ever.
Appearance[edit]
Like Enzi, he has blue hair and brown eyes, but his eyes are larger and his hair less of a mess. He lets his hair fall, but it is thicker and has a fuller body than Enzi's. He likes dressing up, and favours heavy furs or elaborate armour.
Pre-Game History[edit]
Birth[edit]
Uzi was born approximately 20 years before the beginning of the Storyline, son of the King of the great Trenashi Capital, Burgand. He was born with his Twin Cousin, Enzi. Nine months later, Lamb Shank marched on Burgand, and the King and Queen sent their children away with the Human Ambassador Mushi.
Mushi took them to Darlan, the Royal Capital. There, King Roland demanded that he be moved somewhere else in the Kingdom, so as to withdraw Lamb Shank's attention away from the capitol. Mushi left the two children at The Grove, with the caretakers Bob and Sheila. They didn't know the children's exact history, or even that they were Trenashi, and so brought them up like humans.
At Fifteen (That's 15 for those of us who can't read)[edit]
Given their strange powers, Enzi and Uzi began to generate general uneasiness in the neighbouring peoples. People tended to stay away, except the rather clueless Grove Apple pickers, and Bob and Sheila, who could't care less, really. Rumours started spreading. All this served only to strengthen and deepen the relationship between Enzi and Uzi.
Then, a felon from Darlan started terrorising the area. He would assault and murder unsuspecting women, caging the area in terror. Unmindful of the atmosphere of fear, Uzi and Enzi went out wondering one day, when, by way of their Trenashi sense, they sensed the evil of the killer and found him with a fresh victim. In the inevitable struggle, Uzi and Enzi were forced to kill the killer.
Later that evening, after returning the girl to her home, Uzi and Enzi had a long argument about the incident. Enzi, while convinced that he had done the best possible thing, was still slightly uneasy about having killed the man. Both were absolutely certain of the evil the man did and was doing when they found him. The argument began when Uzi stated that he wished all evil-doers everywhere to be killed right away.
The two had very different ideologies - Uzi believed all people should be made, by force, to adhere to what was Right, so evil could be stamped out everywhere. Enzi, however, asserted the need for freewill, and further that Good and Evil were meaningless without the ability to choose. Enzi believed that Order and Law should be enforced, but choices not policed.
It ended with Uzi storming out, announcing that he would conquer all the world so as to create a Good one.
After the Fight[edit]
Realising that he couldn't well conquer the land without an army or support base, Uzi travelled a little, learning what he could about history, Magic and Aspects. In this time, Uzi learnt exactly how bad he was with people, and decided that Enzi would be a far better ruler than he would be. With this in mind, he decided to attempt to set things up to smooth Enzi's rise to power, which he was confident that he would convince his cousin to take.
He was also approached by Lamb Shank, who offered to make Uzi his second-in-command. Uzi instantly refused, fully aware that Lamb Shank represented just about everything he hated. This did not disuade the dictator, who constantly came back with similar offers, particularly through his agent, Cid the Dirge Poet.
Uzi began developing his power base by taking over a serious of gangs and starting an organised crime syndicate. He eventually grew in power, and moved into the mercenary industry. Here he meant Melinda, then captain of the famous mecenary regiment, the Wolves of Enkidu. They ended up both falling in love and joining forces.
Within five remarkable years, Uzi had become one of the most powerful figures in the underworld. While stunned about this incredible success, Uzi took it as a divine sanction of his mission, not realising that Lamb Shank had also been secretly assisting his rise to power.
Relationships[edit]
Enzi[edit]
These two share a very deep love, and that is why they come to blows. Uzi wants to help Enzi to come around to his point of view, and even expects it. Enzi's resistence fills him with a desperate anger because, deep down, the most important validation to him comes from Enzi. Uzi wants Enzi and his ideology reconciled, and his faith in both is such that he banks all of his plans on it.
Uzi is perhaps the only person in the whole story who doesn't underestimate Enzi's intellegence, in fact, he probably idealises his Twin Cousin too much.
Melinda[edit]
There's no hard and fast reason as to why two people fall in love, so there's no point in trying to explain why these two romance as they do. Uzi may be more practical than his cousin, but he is still an incredible idealist compared to most people. Melinda is far more pragmatic, and basically runs Uzi's operations while Uzi himself acts as the Heart and Muscle to her Brain. She constant takes jabs at Uzi's ambitious dream, and seems to most outsiders sceptical.
The truth is, Uzi's vision is the only thing she has been able to believe in since her childhood. How much of this support is tied up in her feelings for Uzi is unclear, but her naturally calculating nature combined with her hard-bitten personality don't render her unsympathetic.
Uzi wants to get married, but Melinda is hesitant, being jaded towards things like that. Uzi doesn't push it, and at any rate directs his attention towards the completion of his goals.
Lamb Shank[edit]
Uzi hates Lamb Shank, and if it weren't for his intention to use him as a tool to both train Enzi and win him the respect needed to become King, Uzi would probably kill him personally. He is aware that Lamb Shank himself is using his Legendary Swords to similarly train Enzi and make him stronger, though Uzi is under the impression that this is to prepare him to become his lieutenant, just like he is offering to Uzi.
It is ironic that Lamb Shank is in fact the one using Uzi...
Cid the Dirge Poet[edit]
Aside from finding his messages from Lamb Shank annoying, Uzi is a little, if irrationally, jealous of Cid. Since Melinda deals with the negociations, Cid usually talks to her. She has a mite of compassion for his cycle of depression, but Uzi is very defensive about all this. He tends to be even more easily pushed to violence concerning Cid, and Melinda has to calm him down in these circumstances.
Religion[edit]
Uzi is a wayward member of the Cult of the Smith, though he does not see himself as wayward. He ignores all the teachings that are in conflict with his vision, while feeding himself those which he sees as justifying it. As he sees his vision of the totalitarian state as the best for everyone, he believes it to be in accordance with the Cult's principles, and partially justifies himself by pointing at his prostigous success as a mark of divine sanction.
He, like his cousin, is a very black and white thinker. On the matter of 'gray' issues, however, he tends to arbritrate rather than break down the question.
Supa Awesome Powers[edit]
Even as a Trenashi, Uzi is particularly powerful. He has all the standard Trenashian powers, to a stronger than average extent:
Sixth Sense[edit]
Uzi has a 'Sixth Sense' to a comparable degree to Enzi.
Aspects[edit]
Like all Trenashi, Uzi can adopt certain 'Aspects', which change is physical form and grant him new powers. Also, as a member of the Royal Family, he is able to assume the two Royal Aspects - The Silver and Gold Aspects.
