Biography
Don't let Zephyr Largo Leeward's easy-going, no worries, life-on-a-sandbar approach to life lull you into a false sense of security. He may be perfectly happy to spend his whole weekend hanging out at the shore, catching rays and drifting on the breeze his parents named him after, but if you value your sanity don't challenge him to a pick-up game of hoops. On the court Zephyr is a menace. Aggressive, sailor-mouthed, and territorial; he can be a terrifying opponent but he gets /results/.
The same side of him comes out if you don't share your French fries. He can't help it. You're not planning on eating /all/ of those, are you? /Are you?/ *raucous screaming laughter*
Ahem.
Blessed with a wingspan wider than he is tall, Zephyr guards the paint like it's a hot dog dropped on the boardwalk and he found it FIRST. When it comes to accurate shooting and passing, he zeroes in on the open lane like he's just spied a momentarily unattended ham sandwich. And he's waterproof!
His physical style of play can make him prone to fouls, especially from landlubber referees who don't understand the rich and intricate nature of seagull interpersonal dynamics, and the integral role "foul" language plays therein. Stop oppressing my culture!
On the other wing, opponents twice his size have turned tail and fled when they see Zephyr bearing down on them, scream-laughing. It's unnerving, frankly.
He doesn't understand why rivals started calling him "Hitchcock". He's not a cock, he's a gull.
In conclusion, you should draft Zephyr Largo Leeward because you would much rather have him on your team than have to face him as an opponent, and you certainly don't want to give him a reason to hold a grudge against you by passing him over, if you catch my drift. No worries! *jovial screaming laughter*
Now, about those French fries...
