Zarare Tausko
Character
Zarare "Zar" Tausko
NAME: Zarare Tausko
FACTION: Independent (for now)
RANK: N/A
SPECIES: Ardennian
AGE: 25
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 4'11" (~150 cm)
WEIGHT: 120 lbs (~54.4 kg)
EYES: Green
HAIR: Salt and pepper black
SKIN: Dark grey and a little paler underneath the thickest parts of his body hair
FORCE SENSITIVE: No
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Trusts Easily - Zar can be charmed and brought to trust people easily once he likes them. Embarrassingly prone to being seduced into doing favors or revealing secrets. He does reserve a healthy amount of skepticism for strangers however.
Prideful - When he makes an error, Zar is very reluctant to admit it. He will go to great lengths to cover it up or find ways to fix it before anyone finds out. His pride doesn't revolve around insults to his physical appearance however. He finds comments like that to be amusing.
Slicer - Need a door opened, shield brought down, or other security systems breached? Zar has the tools and know-how to penetrate cyber security systems physically and wirelessly. He's more inclined to wreak havoc with these skills, but occasionally, given the time and resources, he can redirect security systems to do his bidding. His abilities in this area are not as great against top level military security systems.
Quick Fixer - When mechanical and electrical issues arise, Zar is often able to provide a quick and simple fix that will make the object or vehicle work just well enough to get the job done. Although he does have a habit of procrastinating on solving the root issue until things break down on him again.
APPEARANCE:
Short and lean under his mechanic coveralls and fur which make him look a little bulkier than he really is. He has six arms and hands instead of legs. He primarily walks upright on his bottom two arms, but will comfortably use a third or fourth arm to assist him in walking around, over, or climbing on different obstacles when it suits him. Zar has a brooding expression most of the time.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born on Atzerri, an inner rim tradeworld along the Hydian Way. Raised in a thrifty family with 5 other sibling fighting over hand-me-downs and basic necessities. His parents did the best they could for their family earning a living selling street food. Zar had to go out and work to get the things he wanted as a kid. Some of his siblings helped out with the family business, but that wasn't for him. Zar loved the food but hated the work. His passion was for all things technical that he could tinker with, manipulate, and customize. It started with small gadgets that he got his hands on and escalated until he got himself kicked out of primary school for trying to change his test scores.
Zar became the runt of the litter in his family after that. Fortunately, he found himself a human mentor at a local spaceport who taught him about ship systems. He learned how to break, modify, and fix them. Most of the ships needing repairs there were light to medium freighters. His mentor eventually hired him for his knack for fixing things. It also didn't hurt that he could fit into some of the tighter spaces of ships with ease. This work kept him out of trouble for the most part through his late childhood and early adulthood. Every once in a while Zar would get convinced by friends to make place bets that he couldn't quite afford and had to pay those debts off with free labor or security slicing for some shady characters that would come through the spaceport.
After working at the spaceport for nearly a decade, his reputation for great technical skills preceded him among the locals. However, that reputation was especially known to the port authorities. One officer there eventually caught on to the slicing he'd done in their systems and confronted him about it. He'd managed to redirect a few thousand credits over the years and alter his timecards to get himself some undeserved overtime pay. In the heat of the moment, Zar feared facing prison time and ended up murdering the port authority officer. He made a panicked effort to dispose of the body and get rid of the evidence that the officer had uncovered. Ultimately, even though it killed him to do it, Zar framed the evidence to incriminate the mentor who had taught him much of the skills he had learned there at the port.
Even though the port authorities seemed pretty convinced by the tampering he'd done with the evidence, Zar knew he needed to get offworld and fast to be safe. He gathered his credits and a few essential tools and took a job on a freighter heading to the outer rim. He sent a message to his family giving vague details about where he was going and what he was doing, just so they knew he was okay. But he didn't know if he'd ever see them again. So he went out into the unknown, focusing on his day-to-day survival and earning credits where he could with the skills he had.
