OVERVIEW HISTORY +/- RELATIONS Gear

• 
  
  Personality
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Harlock carries himself like a man who learned early that hesitation gets you killed. He watches more than he speaks, measures more than he reveals. There is a restless edge to him… a coiled tension that never quite settles, even in moments of calm.
  
  He tests the limits of those around him out of habit. Loyalty, to him, is not freely given as much as it is proven, strained, and tested again.

  Backstory
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Once a pirate captain running the Outer Rim, Harlock commanded his own crew and carved out his place the hard way… until the day it all turned.
  
  Mutiny.
  
  His ship, his people, his command all gone in a single fracture of trust. What he walked away with a lesson burned deep; Control is never permanent and loyalty is never guaranteed.
  
  Braze found him after that. Instead of putting him down, he was offered something far stranger: A second chance and Harlock took it...
  
  He hasn’t decided yet if that was a mistake.

"Oi, easy now… no need to bare your teeth unless you mean to use 'em."

The words came easy, rough around the edges, with that low scrape of humor that never quite softened into warmth. Harlock leaned back where he stood, arms folded loose across his chest, green eyes fixed on the scene ahead.

"I’m just sayin’… if this turns ugly, I’d rather know before the first fool starts pretendin’ they had a plan."

[OVERWATCH | MUD DUCK — ZANE HARLOCK]
"Oi… I've got eyes on something ugly up here. Big hull, dead quiet… no transponder."

[OVERWATCH | ZANE HARLOCK]
"Doesn't feel like salvage… feels like trouble waiting for permission."

[OVERWATCH | ZANE HARLOCK]
"I'll keep it tagged. You just say the word if you want it pushed."

"Oi… I've got eyes on something ugly up here. Big hull, dead quiet… no transponder."

The amber wash of the console dragged across Harlock's face while the ship hummed around him. He stayed half-leaned over the board, one hand braced against worn metal, the other tapping slow against the controls as if he could tease an answer out of the silence.

"Doesn't feel like salvage… feels like trouble waiting for permission."

Approach vector locked. Primary scanners calibrated. Thermal bloom nominal. Gravitic drift within tolerance.

"I'll keep it tagged. You just tell me when this turns from watchin' to work."

"You ever get that feelin'… like somethin's watchin' back?"

The console light hummed low beneath his hands, amber reflections crawling across worn plating. Harlock didn't move much… just leaned there, eyes fixed ahead, like he'd already decided how this would go.

"Yeah… I don't like this one."
