Hobbies and Interests: Martial Arts (Hapkido, Judo, Kenpo), Boxing, Island Music (reggae, ska, raggamuffin), theatre, and juggling.

Appearance: Adonis is the pinnacle of masculine beauty. He has long black dreadlocks and a well muscled body. His dark caramel complexion and expressive brown eyes give him a very exotic look. His skin is very smooth and he does not grow facial hair. The contours of his body make him seem as if he were carved by a great artist rather than born. His muscles are clearly defined, his face free of blemishes, slightly arched eyebrows, and a small straight nose. His lips are medium-sized, conveying a sense of sensuality and ruggedness, while his eyes are large and convey depth and intelligence. He stands six feet tall and weighs 165 pounds. His muscle is lean and most easily seen in his chest.

Biography: Adonis comes from an upper middle class family that settled in the area around a year before Adonis's birth. His father is a lawyer, and his mother is an RN at a local hospital. Adonis has been studying martial arts since he was a young boy, and has become proficient in three styles. Adonis is involved in the local boxing club, and has competed in several local and regional tournaments. He also took up juggling when he was fifteen and has become fairly skilled. He enjoys performing a great deal and was once cast as the title character in a school production of Othello. Adonis has always been popular with the ladies, and has never had trouble finding a date, in fact, he's gotten himself in a few fights by taking out the girlfriend of a classmate.

Adonis is a charismatic and dedicated person. He takes his studies very seriously and lets nothing get in the way of his pursuit of knowledge and status. He believes that his body is a temple for his spirit and cares for it as best as he can. He does not drink alcohol because it clouds the mind, and he does not eat food that would pollute his body (i.e. junk food).

Adonis has a great respect for life, and takes his instructors' teachings to heart. He has made a solemn vow to each of his former masters to only use the skills that they have imparted to him for defense, never for attack. He was a favorite of all of his teachers, because he showed an aptitude for the art, and a strong commitment to learning. His Hapkido instructor nicknamed him Sasori (Scorpion) both for his speed, and as a play on his astrological sign of Scorpio.

Adonis's father studied several martial art forms in his younger days, and the two spar quite frequently. This, along with other shared interests has helped Adonis develop a strong relationship with his father. His relationship with his mother is not quite as strong, but when Adonis started listening to Reggae they started going to concerts together and bonded through the music.

Adonis has a superior intellect and performs very well in his studies. He along with a number of other Gifted and Talented students are strong candidates for Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Adonis continues to study hard and do extra credit assignments in hopes that he may be named Valedictorian and be able to follow his dream of becoming a doctor.

Advantages: Adonis has the physical and mental abilities to outfight and/or outwit his classmates.

Disadvantages: Notoriety can be a bad thing. Some of the boys that Adonis has wronged may not have forgotten his transgressions. Also, his belief in never initiating an attack may not serve him well on the island.

Your Thoughts

Whether you were a fellow handler in SOTF or just an avid reader of the site, we'd like to know what you thought about Adonis Zorba. What did you like, or dislike, about the character? Let us know here!

To tell the truth, Adonis hasn't left a terrific first impression on me: some aspects just seem a little... far out. Still, haven't seen him in the game itself yet, so perhaps he will grow on me. - Clueless
