hmm i think that hes a complex person to start with....i think that hes more of a cool person but has some cowardness ever since his parents died and so he hides himself from other people.

ohh!! his hair must be black =D it'll help shape his characteristics through the story. It also makes him more of a cool person

how about...

all of the above, but with a little twist:

he's short. so he suffered from short people syndrome. he feels the need to make up for this lack of height in acting tough to other people. and this is natural, given that he grew up with no parents, there's nobody but himself to stand up from other people belittling him. but he doesn't realize this. he's too defensive to make any real friends. and too sensitive as well. when somebody says something about him, he'll take it as a personal criticism and lash out in return.

as the story later progress though, he learns how to tone down this false sense of pride, and appreciate what real friendships are, and learn how to trust people

No double post.. -- what is wath

thats good supermalv

you shouldnt forget thats his lazy aswell .... because it ironic ... because he hasnt much time because of his ageing and still ... hes lazy.

and he is actually a coward thats looks tough .. and acts tough towards other people

wait a minute...how old should he be? o.o

i personnaly think its better when Adrian comes after he loses his parents ,
he apperas while Zell is sleeping beause zell summoned him because of his sadness
when zells wakes up Adrian is besides him
Zell doesnt know where Adrian comes from
and Adrian doenst tell him where he comes from
............ and so on

well because of his ageing problem he should be 40 - 50
who looks like 15

why do you guys write something very long, but make it shounen genre, if not then add in some action

lol and these girls are like chasing him but they don't know that hes like 40-50 xD (of course becasue of his cool looks =P)

Well if Zell wants to suceed Zon he must have some kind of power...what should it be? Like should the entire town have powers or like they all have individual specail powers (fire, ice, etc. )

the name of the mouse could be Yuki
Edit - I just saw that you had already named the mouse...

reckon = think.. hehe sorry it's a slang thing here on new zealand

ok how about this, guys...

When zell was about 6, he came home from a normal day of school, and find that his parents are murdered. before the reality sink in though, he felt somebody grabbed him from behind and chloroformed him.

Then, the story begins from this point. he suddenly wake up. in the middle of the street. confused and hungry, it was raining hard, but he didn't even feel cold. He starts to search for his house, but the area is very unfamiliar to him. At this point, fear is beginning to drive him insane. He didn't sleep that night, he kept running and running, asking people along the way where his house might be.. But nobody even turned and give him a second glance. He kept running until he feels his stomach is killing him. He tried to beg for food in the nearast food place (bakery, fast food/whatever you guys choose). But they told him to piss off. Every single shop told him to piss off. He falls off from exhaustion in a pile of bag of trashes in a random alleyway.

A wild disowned city dogs creeped closer on his sleeping body. It was a large ass doberman looking for food. A pack of them. without a warning one of them bit zell on the ankle. after groggilly wake up to a sudden realization he is about to die, his power manifest for the first time...

wath about the power Zon which all people can use

and each person has an individual special abilty aswell

lol
i dunno any ideas
but
more action and funny parts that make ppl laugh

and Adrian a mouse appeas and tell zell to run he will take care of the dog

Zell runs away but after a while he stopps and looks back

when he searchs for the mouse and the dog he cant find them

Suddenly Adrian talks to him from his shoulder
"where are you looking at?"

Zell scared falls on his bottom

... and so on
