Zora Salazar [Epithet Erased]

Zora Salazar is a bounty hunter and officer of Bliss Ocean, known for her tough, thrill-seeking attitude and disdain for the unfairness epithets bring to the world.

Zora's Epithet, Sundial. Allows her to manipulate processes that have a defined start and end, such as aging, time, and energy. She can age or de-age, speed up or slow down processes, and even control kinetic energy.

31 years old

Primary job is as a Bounty Hunter and a member of Bliss Ocean, a group that polices epithet users.

While not explicitly described as having a side job, Zora occasionally takes on additional tasks or bounties outside of her official duties with Bliss Ocean, which could be considered side work. However, her main focus is on her bounty hunting and Bliss Ocean responsibilities.

Zora is a tall, thin woman with long brown hair, tan skin, and yellow triangle markings on her face. She dons a cowboy hat with a triangle patterned brim, a red neck bandanna, and a poncho which has a symbol that resembles the sun in the middle. Under her poncho, she wears an orange long-sleeved embroidered button down shirt, a belt with a plus-shaped golden buckle that has a sun symbol in the center, brown and dark brown striped leggings, and brown boots with golden sun-shaped spurs on its ends.

Epithets are special powers emitted from a single word tethered to a person's soul. People possessing epithets are referred to as "Inscribed", while those without them are called "Mundies". About one in every five people has an epithet, although epithets grow more common every year. Inscribed can use their epithet for a variety of different things, depending on how they perceive their word and how high their creativity is.

Zora enjoys her job as a bounty hunter and seems to be quite confident in her own skills. She can seem quite 'intimidating' at times, and she is even able to make Ramsey fear her, as she is an adept dueler and can easily beat anyone whom she deems as obstacles.

She is incredibly ruthless and selfish when it comes to achieving her goals, as shown by how she de-aged Bugsy Pugsler after he refused to hand over the Arsene Amulet, or her turning Howie Honeyglow into an old man. However, she claims that generally she doesn't prefer going power-mad often, as it’ll make things boring for her and is against the spirit of Bliss Ocean, therefore favoring fair duels (not that she isn't ready to play dirty if she gets angry enough). Her underhanded tactics are reflected by her erratic nature, such as hitting Ramsey’s “horrible, horrible” face with her second gun in a fit of rage after Ramsey broke her first one and soon after cheating the “fair duel” and using her epithet on Percy’s discarded sword in an attempt cut and then age both of them into dust, this is the first case we see of an attack doing infinite damage.

Although a proficient epithet wielder, she actually hates her own epithet because, as a thrill-seeker, she sees it as a killjoy for being overpowered, hence joining Bliss Ocean.

Zora can be hypocritical with her actions, e.g. damaging a building Howie was constructing for no reason, while getting angry at Ramsey for breaking a gun she had made. This extends to using loopholes to justify herself cheating: She was in-favor for fighting Ramsey and Percy without her epithet (since they weren't using their own), but also waited until an advantageous time to undo her power on time-stopped bullets she had fired beforehand, claiming that it was fair for her to do so.

She was born in northern Taiga Country. She grew up in a family of paleontologists. One day when her mother and her father were digging, they found a golden box. Banzai Blasters, however, stole the box, and then shot her parents till they died. Leaving her an orphan she grew up in the woods, alone and learned to be a marksman. She would use those skills to be a gun for hire.[1] As well at some point discovering her epithet, Sundial.

While bounty-hunting, she chased down am escaped prisoner, who was bleeding by the time she found them. She challenged them to a classic pistol duel, Zora presumably winning. She then goes after an entire gang, using her epithet to make "physics look askance". When there was one left, she challenged them to a duel, with her again winning. Later, she was hired by a client seeking revenge on a woman who has a notch on her watch for every man she killed, Zora noting its cute she still has room. Zora easily defeats her.

One day someone approached her in the woods and told her "her gun is misguided." After having a one-sided fight, she realized she had found someone on her level, joining Bliss Ocean. Now she has a reason for her fighting and met two others who were on her level as well.

At some point Zora tracked down and killed a person in the woods. Leading to her reflecting on her life up to this point.

At some point she become #1 on the MOST WANTED List.

At some point she started chasing down Ramsey Murdoch

Combat: Expert with dual pistols she crafted herself. Her epithet enhances her combat capabilities significantly.

-Epithet: Sundial: Her epithet Sundial allows her to dial things forwards and backwards in any process which includes gravity, inertia, the cycle of the sun, and even a person's lifespan. -She can also imbue her epithet into an object (i.e: her bullets). Whatever gets hit by one of these objects will be affected by her epithet. -This allows her to do things like instantly destroy any object with a single hit from her weapons.However, once a process has ended she can't reverse it. (e.g: She can't float if she hits the ground, once her gun breaks it's permanently broken, and if someone is dead she can't bring them back) -Her aging ability does not noticeably impact things which do not corrode. (i.e: pure gold) -If she turns off her epithet, the afflicted victims will return to normal. Her epithet allows her to be functionally immortal by slowing her aging process or turning back the clock every few years. -When she freezes objects they lose their kinetic energy. -She can heal certain wounds, but has to be extremely careful. If she sped up time on a wound that wasn't fully disinfected, she could cause it to become diseased rather than healed. Bones have to be correctly set or else they will heal wrong. -Tree!: By rapidly aging a seed or sapling, she is able to quickly grow a tree which can be used to launch herself into the air, or to attack and disarm opponents.

Twin Pistols: Zora made her own pistols. One was destroyed by Ramsey. They are six-shooters and are often imbued with her epithet to move forwards or backwards someone's age, often to point of turning someone to dust. Making these much more deadly then regular fire-arms in the World of Epithet Erased.

Her revolvers are based on the Schofield revolver or Smith & Wesson Model 3

Bliss Ocean is a mundie terrorist group located within Sweet Jazz City. It is known to have a deep hatred against Inscribed. Likely due to its vendetta, the organization has an interest in the Arsene Amulet.

Zora's relationships are predominantly professional or adversarial, shaped by her bounty hunting job and her philosophical stance on epithets. Her interactions are often colored by her thrill-seeking nature, her desire for fair competition, and her hypocrisy regarding the use of epithets.

-Ramsey Murdoch Relationship: Antagonistic with elements of history. Zora was initially sent to capture Ramsey for forgery and embezzlement. Their interactions are filled with tension, with Zora expressing personal disdain for Ramsey, possibly due to past encounters or because he's one of her main targets.

-Percival "Percy" King Relationship: Respectful rivalry. While Zora and Percy often find themselves on opposing sides, there's a mutual respect for each other's skills. Zora seems to admire Percy's determination and ability, even if they clash. They had an epithetless duel, indicating a level of sportsmanship between them.

-Bugsy Pugsler Relationship: Hostile. Zora used her epithet on Bugsy, turning him into a baby during their confrontation, which shows she has little patience or mercy for those who stand in her way.

-General Public/Epithet Users Relationship: Disdainful/Condescending. Zora doesn't like epithets or those who rely on them, seeing them as an unfair advantage. She believes in skill over luck, which is her primary reason for joining Bliss Ocean. Her interactions with epithet users outside her job are generally negative, unless they prove themselves in other ways.

The Arsene Amulet is a vintage necklace imbued with the power for its user to steal epithets from others.
