PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Zar Kevdac is a tall, thin specimen of an Arcona, bordering on lanky with pale beige skin and the distinctive, anvil-shaped head of his people. His eyes are a sickly golden color, a clear sign of salt addiction, and his resting expression is usually a mix of boredom and contempt.
Zar likes to dress up a bit from common galactic thugs, often sporting fine boots and coats over combat armor and customizing his equipment to be both stylish and functional. He never goes anywhere without at least one phial of the highest purity salt somewhere on his person.
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Zar Kevdac is a professional killer, in both sesnes of the word. He takes his contract work seriously and prides himself on his sterling reputation for getting the job done. He's methodical and shrewd, with an undercurrent of abosolute ruthlessness and greed that fuels his ambition. He has an odd sense of refinement for a hired gun and enjoys the finer things in life, whether they be fine clothes, fine weapons, or fine-cut salts.
Zar's greatest weakness is his addiction to salt, a hallucinogenic for Arcona that he developed a taste for at a very young age. He's able to manage his addiction most days, but walking a wire well is still dangerous. At the same time he's also developed a taste for other kinds of thrills, like challenging targets and hard negotiations, and seems to enjoy testing his skills. And of course, someone in his line of work isn't likely to develop pro-social tendencies like decency or restraint.
STRENGTHS
- Reptilian Traits: As an Arcona, Zar is able to sense local heat signatures and has strong sense of smell thanks to the chemical detectors in his tongue.
- Seasoned Scoundrel: Zar hasn't survived this long in the underworld by being stupid or incompetent, and has a ruthless will to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
- The Quick: Zar prides himself on his speed and accuracy with a blaster pistol, having made a living as a triggerman and bounty hunter for various syndicates and cartels over the decades.
WEAKNESSES
- Depth Perception: His compound Arcona eyes struggle with fine visual details, especially at longer ranges, forcing him to rely on other senses.
- Chemical Dependency: Being a salt addict, Zar needs to maintain a delicate balance between crippling withdrawls and mind-melting highs to stay functional.
- The Dead: Zar is greedy, callous, unscrupulous, and more than a little arrogant, any one of which is likely going to get him killed one day.
HISTORY
Zar Kevdac was born on the Arcona homeworld of Cona, where from a young age he became involved with petty crime before eventually moving up into the underground salt trade, where he developed his condition. While he started off as a simple runner, but after shooting a member of a rival gang dead at the age of ten he developed a taste for violence. He began acting as an enforcer for his salt cartel before leaving Cona for lower and seedier things.
Zar has since bounced from operation to operation, acting as a triggerman for the highest bidder and freelancing for various underworld organizations. He's worked as an enforcer, a bounty hunter, and an assassin, often times quietly turning on contractors and eliminating them when a better deal comes along. His taste for danger (and salt) has only increased since then, and this constant seeking of thrills has taken him deep into the underworld over the years.
SKILLS AND POWERS
Zar's is a master with handguns, being able to draw and fire with extreme speed and accuracy at close-range, even on mutliple targets. While he prefers small arms, he's no slouch with larger weapons like rifles or scatterblasters as long as the target is close enough to see. He's also developed skills in melee combat, although its not his forte, and he's a skilled enough pilot to get himself in and out of tight spots. Zar can be quite sneaky when he needs to be and has enough knowledge of bypassing security systems to serve as an able assassin and thief. He speaks Arconese, Galactic Basic, Huttese, and a smattering of other common trade languages.
