Important Details
History:
Born and raised in Auckland New Zealand to a loving mother and a dangerous alcoholic father. Zeniro has a younger sister and much of his childhood was spent in poverty watching his drunken father beating his mother. He often skipped school to remain home and look after his mother during periods he father spent away.
When he reached his early teens Zeniro learnt about the local gang scene. During a trip to the local shops he inadvertently got pulled into a brawl and aided a local mongrel mob crew in beating a rival gang. After this incident Zeniro gained respect among the gang and it’s members. The gangs ‘house’ was close to Zeniro’s home, the gang leader knew of Zeniro’s violent father and allowed the young man to stay any time he liked.
Although Zeniro could have left his home to live full time with the mongrel mob he chose to stay home to protect his mother and sister. Zeniro would fight often with his father or merely take the beating instead of his mother and sister.
As he got older Zeniro was made a true member of the mongrel mob, a member of the crew owned a tattoo parlour and Zeniro received the MM insignia at the nape of his throat. Later work on his now full body tattoo would begin. During this time Zeniro was taught to ride a motorcycle and also taught how to fight.
Zeniro was a natural when it came to fighting and soon raised swiftly in prowess among the other members through sheer fighting ability alone. Zeniro soon became a regular face in bar room brawls and other such meets where two rival gangs would fight over territory or other gang related matters.
During this time Zeniro also played for a local rugby league team, a team some of the members of his local gang introduced him too. The mongrel mob introduced Zeniro to many of his passions Motorcycles, fighting and rugby to name a few.
The gang leader took Zeniro under his wing, he saw that there was something dark in Zeniro’s mannerisms. Something wild that came out when he fought, or when he was threatened a survival mechanism taken to the extremes because of his abusive father.
The Gang leader was a seasoned fighter and a Veteran and ex-champion of the UFC. He saw the potential in Zeniro and noticed how Zeniro strayed from drugs and alcohol unlike many of the other members. Trying to strengthen this ‘good’ in Zeniro he became like a father figure. He would take Zeniro in and teach him his self taught fighting style. The ‘Iron Fist’ Zeniro being similar in height and build to his master was nigh on perfect for the fighting style. He took to it’s practical side like a natural and even adapted it to suite his more ruthless tendencies in combat.
Although his training in ‘Iron Fist’ and Rugby gave Zeniro an outlet for his anger and his frustration it was still clear that his tormented youth haunted him. Zeniro was by no means normal and on more than one occasion he had hospitalised fellow gang members for merely saying the wrong thing to him. The code of silence among the mongrel mob meant Zeniro went unpunished for these acts of violence.
One night on his sixteenth birthday Zeniro returned home to find his father drunk on the lawn. A motor bike that had been a present from the mob lay in ruins. His father bat in hand taunted his son and then in his drunken state ran to attack him with the bat. Enraged with his father Zeniro charged him, his power from rugby meant that he slammed his father to the ground in a harsh tackle. His father dropped the bat, but smashed a bottle of his sons face cutting him under the right eye. Stumbling off his father Zeniro remained dazed, his father taking up the bat swung for his sons head…a clear blow with lethal intent. Zeniro ducked the blow and as his father staggered he delivered a palm strike to his nose, shattering the bone and driving it into his skull. Zeniro fearing for his sister and his mother’s safety left his father to die while he checked on his family.
Although Zeniro had murdered his father in cold blood, technicalities in the case against him and in evidence saw that he walked free from jail. Accounts from gang members covered Zeniro saying he acted purely in self defence. Despite this Zeniro was ordered out of Auckland, he was to enter a correctional programme for delinquent youths. Zeniro was sent to America.
During these times in America Zeniro met one Stern Mason, to this date one of few men to beat him in a one on one fight. Stern being older reminded Zeniro of his master. He would follow Stern as loyally as he would any master, doing his bidding in the only way he knew how. With each school he went to with Stern subsequent riots would occur and the two would move.
Zeniro eventually ended up in a school called Varron, along with Stern. Zeniro however seemed to loose his mind while in Varron and was involved in a number of extremely violent occurrences one even resulting in the death of a young woman. As a result he was forced to keep a low profile.
Eventually however his actions caught up with him and Zeniro was removed from the school, nigh on vanishing without a trace. He was taken to a correctional facility in an attempt to quell his wild ways. Despite the attempts of many psychiatrists they failed to find any reasonable means of taming the rogue youth. He showed no response to any form of psycho therapy.
Zeniro was to be placed back into Varron under surveillance, however events that occurred in the school and town saw the school closing down. It so happened that Varron had a transfer programme with a school in San Francisco. Originally the school declined to accept someone like Zeniro, however it seems plans have changed and Zeniro has been placed in a number of activities to rehabilitate him and keep him occupired. For warning of his arrival has been sent to all those it concerns. Although it is impossible to monitor him at all times Zeniro has been ordered to report to someone of the schools choosing every week. As well as regular visits to a local councillor.
Fighting Style:
The Iron Fist relies on quick powerful movements. It involves the use of crippling striking blows from the head, hands, elbows and knees. The feet are to maintain as much contact with the floor as possible to maintain a strong centre of gravity.
The style is unique in countering as it involves a high level of grappling manoeuvres, either on the ground or standing. These manoeuvres like the strikes are geared to maim the target. Every move Zeniro inflicts is used to deal as much possible damage as he can.
There are no Kicks and no aerial attacks involved at all in the Iron Fist method. Only knee strikes are used. And these are only used on occasions where they are the best possible method of attack.
It is a balanced fighting technique the user being comfortable in both attack and defence.
Strengths:
Zeniro is freakishly strong, especially in his upper body he is quite capable of breaking bones and dislocating joints and he has no problem in doing so (If he can, he probably will.) Due to rugby and his fighting style he has exceptional balance even when being struck by a powerful blow. His legs are phenomenally strong and are core in a lot of his explosive movements. Although over long distance he may not be so fast. In bursts of speed he can match most swift opponents. His hand speed is extremely fast, this makes his powerful strikes all the more devastating when caught off guard.
Zeniro has geared his body for close quarter fighting, as a result he is highly conditioned and can take a pummelling so heavy that it would surely flaw others, but remain on his feet. Due to his sharpened nails and his odd teeth, matched with his strength he is a formidable foe when he gets a hold of you. When fighting Zeniro it is best to simply avoid getting into grappling situations as he will do anything and everything to take out any limb he can get his hands on.
Weaknesses:
Zeniro is fairly slow compared to fast manoeuvrable foes. He is not agile in any sense of the word and cannot dodge attacks as well as other more nimble fighters. As a result he is often forced to either counter or parry a blow.
Zeniro due to his size and weight is forced to remain grounded, this takes out any aerial threat from him when in combat. It also removes a lot of the threat from kicks and other attacks of that nature. As a result opponents only have to worry about his upper body when he is attacking. Zeniro mindset during a fight can become extremely self destructive and he can loose all regard for safety (His own or others.) During this state of mind he will simply do anything he can to get his hands on his opponent and beat them to a bloody pulp. This nigh on blind rage however makes him susceptible to well placed counter blows or blind side attacks. Zeniro like most predators is extremely single minded when it comes to fighting, he prefers to focus on one opponent at a time situations that involve more than one opponent do not deter him..they simply frustrate him. Zeniro’s mentality is also a major downfall for him, he will not despite any odds back down from a person he feels has threatened him or challenged him in any way. On more than one occasion this has resulted in him receiving a severe beating.
On a side note, due to Zeniro's tendancy to get in close, and his habbit of throwing headbutt's fights that involve him will often be a brutal and often bloody experience. Quite often said blood will be his own, when he gets blind sided or the sheer power of his own headbutt breaks the skin on his head.
Note:
Has been placed into dorms on campus, He must share a dorm as part of his rehabilitation to fit in with ‘normal’ society. (If anyone wishes to be his roommate drop me a pm. Otherwise I’ll simply use an npc.)
Off campus owns a pet American pit bull named Ozaris.
