GENERAL CHARACTER STATISTICS
Character Name: Zaerik Nykros
Gender: Female
Species/Race: Human
Age: 35
Birthplace/World: Unknown
Occupation/School/Grade: "Retired" space pirate/Captain of the Durandal
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
General Appearance: Zaerik is a masculine name so chances are, people are shocked when they discover Zaerik is, in fact, a woman. She has fair skin, stands at five foot nine (five foot eleven with the boots), long dark blonde hair and dark green eyes. She is athletic, not an ounce of fat on her, and she loves to show it off. Her approximate weight is one hundred twenty five pounds. She has a long scar that runs across the right side of her neck from a blade that got a little "too close" and a phoenix tattoo that takes up her entire back.
Strengths: She's pretty agile and nimble, capable of doing acrobatic stunts that would put a trained gymnast to shame. She can hold her own in fights, be it hand to hand or a gun fight.
Weaknesses: She's only human so of course she needs sleep, food, oxygen, the same as the rest of us. In terms of physical strength, she's not as strong as a man her age or build, or even a man in his twenties, would be.
MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS
Current Goal/Purpose: To shoot those cannons! ... What, they're still charging?! In the meantime, maybe explore and stuff.
Talents: She is crafty, she is sneaky, she will pull every underhanded trick in the book to get what she wants, when she wants it. Some call it "dishonorable" and "unscrupulous." She calls it "survival." Zaerik is calm and cool in the most desperate of situations, although some might find it disturbing that her twisted sense of humor cuts through even these struggles of life and death.
Inabilities: The first thing you should know ... she is one proud woman. In short, she will never ever ever ever ever ever ever (etc.) ask for help! From anyone. She'll cut her own arm off, bind the stump, and take down a horde single handed (no pun intended) before she does that. She does not know the meaning of the word "share" so don't even think of using it on her. And she never knows when to say "enough". She'll just keep pushing those limits, holding out for more, until she can't bear it and even then she probably wouldn't be satisfied.
Fears: ... Losing, failure. These are not options and shall never be brought to Zaerik as such! She will gladly press that self destruct (the ship does have a self destruct button, does it not?) if it means keeping what's hers out of enemy hands.
General Personality: Zaerik is a woman who never bats an eyelash or gets worked up over anything. She either approaches it in a calm manner or she laughs it off and she's always in the thick of things. She has a habit of always ordering the ship to "fire the cannons" and huffs and rolls her eyes when someone tells her they can't and a reason for it. She is charismatic, meaning the only one who will attempt to correct her is the ship's AI and her second in command.
Inner Personality: A woman bored with life and always ready for adventure. You only live once and she wants to go down knowing she's lived it to the fullest! She has trouble dealing with all the rules and regulations that come with the command of a vessel like Durandal but whether she's honestly making an effort to live with them or just ignoring them remains a mystery.
Secret: ... She's married!
HISTORIC BACKGROUND
General History: Zaerik refers to herself as the "only illegitimate child" of Captain Darius Nykros, a pirate who became obsessed with finding the "ultimate treasure" and disappeared in search of it. She never knew her mother and she never mentions her. Apparently she traveled with her father from the moment she could remember all the way to the day he disappeared. She carried on his pirating ways until she was finally caught--and given a most interesting proposition ...
Present Life: She's about to find out "what this bird can really do"! In short, she has just been given the job of Durandal captain! Yeah, she's just as confused as you are.
Special Historic Notes: None.
