Physical description
Zetsu is fairly bulky, thanks to the Venus flytrap which encases him from his head down to his legs, and stands at about 5'8. His hair is a shade of light green and his eyes are just plain strange, the outer ring on his left eye is white whilst the outer ring on his right eye is black. The center part on both is an amber yellow. His skin is where it gets even weirder, it is literally black and white, split down the middle, the left side is his white half and the right side, black.
The black half has several piercings, giving him a some-what rebel like appearance. Clothing wise, Zetsu is pretty simple, due to the Venus fly-trap he is only able to wear the Akatsuki cloak on his top half but he is perfectly able to wear normal blue and white trousers and so he does. He also wears the ring, Boar, on his right little finger and on his feet he wears the standard Shinobi sandals. Scars mar his body from abuse as a child. The strange man has painted his finger nails grey as is the Akatsuki 'tradition'.
A special ability of his allows him to split into two halves in order to spy on two people or fight more than one person. In the case that this happens the cloak is obviously shredded but because of his plant like genetics it causes him minimum pain, the difficult bit is putting himself back together again. In this state he literally looks like half a person and has to hop around, a reason why he avoids using too often.
Personality:
Black Side
The split of color in Zetsu reflects in his personality, he has a sort of multi-personality disorder, one side of him, the black half, 'Yin' is his more blood-thirsty half. Yin seems to be more formal in speech, he also has a more serious and intelligent tone. Yet he is the more argumentative side, with the other half of himself at least. Most of the time he is the more motivated side and often has to force the white half to act. Another point to be noted is his strong dislike of people joking about his fly trap.
White Side
His white half 'Yang', is a lot more laid back than his counter-part, he has little motivation and can be one to complain quite a lot. He is less fond of carnage than Yin and doesn't take offense so easily, he is also more tolerant of others. A habit he had picked up is conversing with his other half quite a lot, it makes it seem as though they have separate brains even though they have the one between them. Yang tends to have more informal ways of speaking than Yin, sometimes he can come off as rude but he never actually means to be. He has a generally more carefree and easy going tone about his voice. This half of Zetsu appears to have a better sense of humor than the other half.
Similarities
There are a few things that both sides can agree on, despite the nearly constant bickering. For one thing they both prefer to talk to the other half as opposed to other people and they both know when it's time for them to run. Likes and dislikes are also pretty much the same as well as the fact that Zetsu is indeed a cannibal. Another thing to be pointed out is that they are both fairly tolerant of Tobi and both sides like gardening.
Having been in the Akatsuki for so long, Zetsu is extremely loyal to the organization. He has has been there long enough to have developed a lot of trust within the organization. Evidence of this is the simple fact that he knows about both Pain's true identity and Tobi's true identity. The bond he feels to the organization is actually very strong, he sort of sees them as a family because of his bad child-hood.
The two halves also have nick-names for each-other, Yin being Zet and Yang being Su. The reason for this is that it is simply easier for them to do that and being one person it was an agreement between the two to just split their name in half, thus saving time. Another reason for it is that is that it would be weird if either of them just spoke randomly to the other without saying who it was directed at.
History:
Zetsu was born in the Grass village to civilian parents, his father made a living selling cakes and his mother had previously been a medic-nin. She had lost her position as a Kunoichi ten years previous to her son's birth when she begun intentionally harming her patients to see what effects it would have on the body. At the time it was a possibility that she should have been removed from the village but after a period of surveillance and having her position as a Ninja taken away, she was permitted to stay. Providing of course that she never did anything strange, which she agreed to. Since then she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, except for taking a deep interest in carnivorous plants.When he was born he looked perfectly normal, short brown hair, blue eyes and the most sweet little smile. It wouldn't stay this way for long.
3 years passed and Zetsu was growing well, he was often seen in his fathers bakery, staring at the cakes, he also took an interest in his mothers gardening, sometimes going as far as to name a particularly pretty flower. Of course it was complete nonsense to everyone else, but to him it was crystal clear and made perfect sense. Strange things started to happen in this year though, his mother would disappear for long hours of the day and a few times she even went missing for a couple of days at a time. The reason for this was she was gathering samples of various plants in the area for an experiment. Though to everyone apart from herself, it was unclear as to what she was up to.
At four years of age Zetsu suffered an awful loss, his father died from poisoning. It was suspected at the time that it was another one of his mothers sick ideas, that was indeed what had happened. She had been seeing the affects that certain plant juices would have on him when something went wrong and he died. The suspicion however, was dropped when she went into a fake mourning for the best part of the year. Only her son knew she was responsible, only he knew she was a liar and yet he said nothing, nobody would've believed such a young child anyway. Unfortunately for the young boy his mother soon realized what he knew and the following year started the worst part of his life.
On his fifth birthday his whole little world came crashing down, his mother had officially gone mad, she started hurting her son, beating him up and saying he was just a waste of space. Her anger for the death of her husband and her anger of her experiment failing was redirected at her five year old son. She also took up the habit of starving Zetsu, she was so annoyed at her failure that she simply couldn't be bothered. Her research was once again looked up and she came up with a Jutsu based around Venus Flytraps. The Jutsu worked over a year, she kept using it on her son, despite his protest at the pain and he started mutatating. As the experiment was carried out, she starting feeding him again to see how his eating habits had been affected. She found he liked meats more than vegetables and tried giving him raw meat. It turned out it didn't give him food poisoning and she didn't bother cooking his food any longer.
The raw meat however had a strange affect on the boys mind, he started to wonder what fresh flesh tasted like and was often caught trying to sneak out at night. When he was caught his mother normally hit him, depending on how much of a bad mood she was in. His goal each time was the forest near-by where many animals lived. One night however, he wasn't caught and managed to get into the forest and killed a rabbit. He ate most of it, leaving the fur and returned home. After some time in this pattern though, something new happened. It turned out that the rabbits he had been killing were being introduced into the area for an experiment. The esperiment had been set up by some botanists who wanted to see what effect the rabbits would have on the area. When Zetsu went into the forest one night he was confronted and his need for flesh was left unsatisfied. The following morning he managed to get away from his mother and went into the forest again. He found a botanist sleeping and curiosity got the better of him, Zetsu took a bite from the mans arm and when he awoke, he was chased out of the forest.
His mother discovered later what had happened from rumors around the village, she decided that she would have to keep a better eye on him. She also gave him some more of the potion having noticed a slight change in personality and the color of his skin changed, she was intrigued. The mixture seemed to have created another being inside her sons body, she'd given him a multi-personality. This intrigue however wasn't long lived as at the age of sixteen he had finally had enough of suffering and killed his mother for lunch. The first human he'd eaten for 7 years as he had been fed raw meat by his mother since the incident in the hope it would fight his want for human flesh.
Over the next 3 years of his life he brought havoc upon many of the small villages in the area, his new appetite meant he needed to travel a lot so as to not get caught red handed, literally. It also caused him discover the Mayfly ability which his strange body enabled him to used, he was now able to melt into his surroundings making picking his next meal a whole lot easier.
The following year he found himself in the rain village and was approached by the Akatsuki leader who had heard about the plant mans strange habits. The chance to join the Akatsuki was offered to him, a chance that appealed to Yang more than Yin, a chance to belong. Of course he snapped up the opportunity.
Over the years he did a lot of spying for the Akatsuki, also acting as a cleaner. After a successful assassination or the death of a member he would go to dispose of the body in his own way. It was affective and meant several murders were never even classed as such, instead the person was said to have left whatever place they happened to be in.
At 26 years of age he met Tobi and the hyper man was made his subordinate. At first he was rather annoying but after a few months a sort of friendship was formed, Zetsu often referring to Tobi as 'a good boy'. Tobi seemed to beam with pride at this and it came as quite a shock when Zetsu learned of his true identity. He learned to live with it though.

Sample RP:
The rise and fall of breath once again filled the blue roan, he was damn thin and you could see most of his ribs, black banner lay idly on the floor and his equally ebony locks lay matted over his face. Ocean looked awful, like he had just been dug out of a grave. This assumption was close enough, he had died during the migration as he hadn't been able to find enough food to keep himself in the realm of the living flesh. Despite this, here he was. Where exactly was here anyway? The sweltering heat and dying vegetation told the dark stag his location and as he opened his dull orbs, a dark smirk appeared on his face. He was in Hell, the Underworld, the Realm of the Undead, whatever you want to call it, he was there.
Heaving himself up, he stumbled a little as he tried to get used to walking again, layers of dust and dirt fell out of his once handsome pelt, this could be expected though. He had fallen through thousands of layers to get here, well, his spirit had at least. If that was the case he suspected his parents voices still lived within his mind, though, they may have fallen into a deep slumber along with his actual body and remained behind on the surface. Either that or him ending up in this place meant he was evil enough for his parents to cease haunting him. Whatever way you look at it, he was free of them, a dark chuckle escaped rumbled in his voice box and then filled the air. Being dropped down here had awoken the true darkness within him.
Shaking his skull slowly, he heard a crack in his neck and sighed, that felt a whole lot better. His filthy obsidian tendrils had also been forced back and out of his face, he really needed to wash, though he doubted very much he could go up to Satan and say 'You got somewhere to wash and somethin' to eat?' No, that would not go down well, not at all. Speaking of which, he probably needed to move from this spot and explore the land of the Underworld a little better rather than staring at the rocky wall all day. Perhaps it would be a good idea.
Picking up his flints he moved out of the cave and into a highly peculiar world, trees burnt to a crisp dotted the place and all the grass on the ground was well, crunchy. A dried up lake lay east but the brute suspected that he had no need to drink anyway, besides, this was only a portion of the area, he had no reason to worry. As he placed another dagger on the tough ground, he finally found the strength in his pillars once more and started trotting along what looked like a path, however, it was more sinister that that. Bone dry skeletons lined the path, horse and human alike.
As he continued down the path, he took in every detail, there were places where old hoof prints had left dents in the rock hard ground, obviously this place had seasons, or at least experienced rain once or twice every 10 years or so. The cave which Ocean had recently left may have been the place where many equines had started life in the world of the dead, the dark ones at least. Those who had lead evil lives ended up here whilst the disgusting lights went to Heaven. Just the thought of the light-blessed land made the stud growl, it was sickening.
As time progressed dark optics finally picked up the end of the path and he picked up his pace a little bit more, what he saw at the end of the road was rather different to what he had expected. It looked like a boundary into a land of eternal night, the moon hung above it, cold and unmerciful, yellow pools hid in the shadows, this world was full of surprises.
I know the above is an RP example from a horse rpg site but I was feeling a little lazy when I got to the RP example so if you'd like me to change it, I can.[/blockquote][/color][/size]
