Player Name: Manda
Full Name: Zaire Visser
Nicknames and Pseudonyms: Captain Visser,
Age: 40
Birth Date: June 20, 2272
Role on Ship: Captain of the Siren's Song
Homeworld: Paradise
Significant Relations and Affiliations: His crew, the wife and family he may or may not have, the slew of mistresses he may or may not have.
Bonds, Obligations, Debts, and Warrants: So many. So so many. He is very much a wanted man.
Appearance: Standing at a rather average 6 feet and weighing in at around 185 lbs, Zaire's height and physique is about the only thing about him that one would describe as average. He is physically fit from a combination of Paradise genes and a lifetime of fighting; he works hard to maintain his physique.
Zaire's eyes are dark brown, his hair black - though he prefers to keep it shaved to the skin - and he boasts a full, well kept beard shot through with a touch of grey. His skin is a rich mahogany with patches of pale white where he's lost melanin due to vitiligo; this is most apparent on his face, hands, feet, and elbows, though there are smaller patches all over his body as well. One upper incisor was replaced with a gold tooth after the original was knocked out in a fight and he has quite a few scars. His Paradise mutations are fairly minor, though he does have nictitating membranes that are visible when he blinks and a patch of scales along his spine. His overall unique appearance makes him plenty recognizable.
Personality: If one were to ask his wife, his mistresses, or his friends and crew, Zaire would often be described as charismatic, outgoing, and almost too charming for his own good. It's his reputation for being ruthless, cunning, greedy and single-minded that often precedes him though. He does little to stifle these rumors and embellishments, since a hearty reputation means less work - and less risk - for his crew.
Arrogant, persuasive. Zaire can read a room like a boss and his confidence and natural air of authority are rather noteworthy. He can be a bit greedy when it comes to his long-term goals; definitely in it for himself but that doesn't mean that he overlooks everyone else. In fact, generous could be another way to describe him, especially if he's trying to make up for some real or perceived slight. He's great at motivating others to help him achieve his goals, whether that's as simple as recruiting his own wingman or rallying his crew to take a risky prize.
He has a good sense of humor and appreciates a celebration; he has a healthy lust for life, women, food and drink and strongly values freedom.
Definitely loves the thrill of the chase, the adrenaline rush of boarding and taking a ship, the high of killing a stubborn Captain. But he's also just as likely to leave them alive, or to toy with them like a cat with a mouse. A man of action, Zaire can hold a hell of a grudge and his flavor of vengeance is particularly brutal. He'll hunt someone to the ends of the galaxy to see they get what they deserve.
Strengths, Talents, Abilities: Zaire prefers guns, and keeps at least one on his person at all times, but he's skilled with a knife as well. A lot of his fighting skills come from speed, cleverness, and surefootedness rather than brute strength. He's unlikely to win an unarmed fight against someone bigger and stronger but he isn't above slipping a knife into your neck before it ever gets to that point.
Zaire speaks fluent Paradisian Sign and grew up speaking a mix of French and Haitian Creole while at home.
Weaknesses and Fears: None that he admits to.
History: Born on Paradise. No one knows how he got off the planet. It's rumored that he has a wife and a whole mess of kids that he periodically moves from one location to another. In general, no one outside of his crew has any solid facts about his history.
Anything Else: He very much misses Paradise.
