Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments This week's Photo Challenge Character is Zsadist, from JR Ward's Lover Awakened, Book 3 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series.

Height: 6'6
Weight: 270 lbs
Hair-Color: Multi-colored, skull-trimmed
Eyes: Yellow - when at rest; black when angry

Ward's description on her website:

As I think about him, I picture his face and the scar that intersects it. I see his glossy all-black eyes. His skull trimmed hair. His pierced nipples. The tattooed blood slave bands around his throat and wrists... I can almost feel the anger and the erotic threat he throws off... God, it’s as if he’s known hell on earth and carries the place around with him.

From the book:

Zsadist knelt down over one of the lessers, his scarred face distorted with hatred, his ruined upper lip curled back, his fangs long as a tiger's. With his skull trimmed hair and the hollows under his cheekbones, he looked like the Grim Reaper, and like death, he was comfortable working in the cold. Wearing only a black turtleneck and loose black pants, he was more armed than dressed. The Black Dagger Brotherhood's signature blade holster crisscrossed over his chest, and two more knives were strapped on his thighs. He also sported a gun belt with two SIG Sauers.

Not that he ever used the nine millimeters, though. He liked to get personal when he killed. Actually, it was the only time he ever got close to anyone.

Lover Awakened p. 2

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Okay, I don't expect anyone to find somebody scarred. Just your interpretation on what Z would have looked without it.

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Wentworth Miller is a popular choice among the cellies. Do you agree?

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Here is a couple more for a second look or third...LOL






 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 350 comments I can definitely see Wentworth although he's a little slender. But I love Wenty all the same.


message 6: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Good point, although Z was quite thin, when he was drinking only from humans.

Auntee | 13 comments If we could put Wentworth's head on Vin Diesel's body...


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

hehehe....


message 13: by tosca (new)

tosca (catatonichataholic) | 742 comments I'm quite partial to Ruben Cortada and, to show why (isn't this much like show & tell) I've got four pics of Senor Cortada. One for the body, one for the ok it's for the body again and the last one for the eyes. Umm he's kinda pretty...? Maybe too pretty?

What a great idea, Auntee. I love the Vin-man but I don't see him for Zsadist. He just doesn't give off the ascetic, tortured vibe I see in Zsadist.


message 15: by tosca (new)

tosca (catatonichataholic) | 742 comments I think that's half the problem - I see a look that might be it but not the body. Or the body but not the look - now if we could just mix & match...

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments tosca,

Since you move the photos here, do you mind if I delete the ones in the other Photo Challenge intro thread in order to keep it clean?

EDIT:...Oops...you did it already...never mind then..

tosca (catatonichataholic) | 742 comments No my bad! Was having (another) dizzy moment :) It was all those naked chests LOL

♥Tricia♥ (siddie) | 407 comments omg at the Vin Diesel images!!!


message 19: by tosca (new)

tosca (catatonichataholic) | 742 comments Speaking of Vin Diesel...Funnily enough this pic comes from a site called Fun Munch LOL Oh geez.




 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 350 comments Ladies I am enjoying the eye candy. Yum, yum, yum.

message 23: by tosca (new)

tosca (catatonichataholic) | 742 comments All he needs is nipple rings? Didn't Zsadist have nipple rings??


message 24: by ♥Tricia♥ (new)

♥Tricia♥ (siddie) | 407 comments I believe he does!


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

yes he did


message 26: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (last edited Apr 12, 2009 06:58AM) (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Shazzy,

Very appropriate picks. The lean pic reminds of how he must have look the morning after Bella's needing.

Btw, I love the description. I like matching words with pics...so to speak...LOL


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

nice... i never would of thought of him...


message 28: by Kasia (new)

Kasia That movie scares the shit out of me, awesome creepy...


message 29: by Julianna (new)

Julianna (authorjuliannad) | 1914 comments His hair would need to be shorter, but Milo Ventimiglia has the intense, soulful eyes that I've always imagined Z to have.


He does a great scowl too.


I also love the choice of Wentworth Miller. I read somewhere that J. R. Ward had him in mind when she wrote Z.


message 30: by ♥Tricia♥ (new)

♥Tricia♥ (siddie) | 407 comments Oh Julie I like this pick.. yummy


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

i can see Milo as Z... but then again i love him hehehe he can be my hero any day ;)


message 32: by Julianna (new)

Julianna (authorjuliannad) | 1914 comments Yeah, Peter Petrelli could nurse me back to health any day. A hottie like him would definitely speed my recovery, but then I might have to feign sickness just to keep him around. LOL!;-)


message 33: by Annvelwis (new)

Annvelwis | 671 comments Maybe this one? His name is Matt Schiermeier and... that's all I know about him.

message 38: by Wendy (new)

Wendy  (wendyhill) So many to choose from. The only one that would be a no for me is Vin Diesel. But the rest are really really pretty. Especially #4.

It's really warm in here now. **going to get a cold beverage**

Shawna (shawnalovesromance) | 2 comments Good lord ladies...I think I'm going to spontaneously combust from all the sexy-as-sin male visuals! LOL!

It's interesting because I actually pictured Wentworth Miller as Zsadist when I read Lover Awakened, but I do love me some Vin Diesal! YOWZA!


message 40: by DarkHeart "Vehngeance" (last edited Jun 19, 2009 11:41PM) (new)

DarkHeart "Vehngeance" (darkheart) For me, Z has always been M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold. He's got the piercings and the tats, an occasional skull trim, he's built and beautiful. Couldn't find a shot from their "Afterlife" video where he is the perfect image for me, but this one is still nice. ;)





message 41: by Kasia (new)

Kasia Zsadist poll is up now... http://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/12...
