APPEARANCE
Visual: Captain Harlock
Vocal: Captain Harlock
Attire: As a Pirate | Presently
Details: Sense of style is not appropriately paramount to his status. As a pirate, his garb was, well, pirate-like. He favored a cape, the skull and crossbones. The usual. Some people think his use of the eye patch is only decorative, but it actually is functional. His right eye was lost in a personal fight that he eventually won. Rather than replacing it with a mechanical eye, he opted for the eye patch. In his eyes, it added to the look, and made him more menacing. But his days as a pirate were numbered. The loss of ships and crew took a toll. Without conscription services, he couldn't replace lost people, and inevitably his losses were meted out at the hands of the First Order navy. Rather than simply try to fight back, he decided to go the legitimate route and joined the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet.
As such, he now wears something more respectable, though by no means is it military standard. He overtly flaunts this fact whenever he can, swishing his way into meetings with other Admirals with his cape twirling about him. It might also be noted that he consistently wears a breathing mask complete with filters. This is because he has a genetic disorder that weakens his immune system, and if he doesn't wear the mask, he gets sick rather easily. He never wears a hat, but only above his nose is he ever exposed in public. He is rather cautious about contact.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
[+] Tactically Minded: He's always been gifted at crunching numbers and assessing his surroundings. Situational awareness allows him to realize how to respond to situations with rapidity and act accordingly.
[+] Personable: Even though he has a tendency to mess with people and flaunt his actions in light of regulations, he is rather easy to approach and talk to. In fact, he's probably one of the nicest people you may meet, despite having been a pirate.
[-] Weak Immune System: A genetic abnormality has turned an otherwise perfect specimen into a paragon of caution. While he has a tendency to flaunt his attraction to the ladies, he is overtly cautious about their status and past relationships, and is even cautious as to how long his mask is off. Any exposure to a virus could land him in the hospital, or potentially kill him.
[-] Arrogant: It goes without saying that his cockiness and arrogance has a tendency to land him in hot water with some people.
HISTORY
Raze was born on Panatha, but given his disorder, his family abandoned him at a very early age. He developed a resentment towards the people who ran the orphanage he grew up in because they kept him locked in a room and wouldn't ever let him leave. They said it was for his own good, and he would later come to realize that was probably the case, but as a young boy who could only look out the window at the others enjoying themselves while he remained inside, he wasn't happy. One time he couldn't take it anymore and so escaped, but was quickly stricken down by a simple cold. It nearly killed him as he tried to fight it off, but fortunately he managed to survive thanks to the specialists at the medical facility he'd been taken to. Not everyone with his disorder was as lucky as he was.
When he got older, he was able to wear a mask and go outside, and in so doing he learned more of the world he was born on, even being able to ascertain that their leadership were Sith. He found their strict rule stifling as he desired to be rebellious in nature, and do whatever he wished rather than adhering to a strict set of rules. His rebellious nature landed him in hot water, including several stints in the local slammer, but eventually he managed to leave the world, and fell in with a band of misfits and their ship. They settled on enjoying themselves, pillaging money and supplies as they needed in order to survive. They weren't that great at it, but they managed.
As many of his friends died through their own foolishness, he gradually took over and began to grow a reputation. With it came more ships to join their party and more people. He declared himself the pirate admiral, and pillaged all throughout the territory that would become the First Orders, taking what they needed and money, but not expressly harming anyone. They weren't murderers, just thieves. Eventually they came into conflict with the First Order, and their military might and prowess decimated his forces. Many of his friends died, most of their ships were lost, and little was left save defeat. He had to accept that despite what he knew to do, and his skills as a leader, sometimes superior firepower could best a good leader. The only recourse was to take what he knew to someone who could avenge his losses.
Because of this, he approached the Galactic Alliance and enlisted. They gave him a pardon and he was swiftly moved to the rank of Admiral, his skills warranting it. He continues to cause trouble, however, and some of the other Admirals resent him because of his flamboyant nature and refusal to wear standard naval garb.
He will never change in that regard.
