Profile: Zolar, to put it in the simplest way possible, would be an interesting character even if he were not certifiably insane. Possesed of the seemingly superheroic self confidence of an action holo hero, Zolar radiates a kind of magnetism that inspires those around him, to wonder if not to loyalty. It helps that Zolar is often quite willing and capable to fulfill his subdued bravado.

Zolar is the incarnation of panache and self-confidence. He is smooth and in control at (nearly) all times and tries to get along with just about anyone. He is constantly creative, always working on a new and innovative weapon for his pet outlaw corporation ZLS Systems or a new ship for personal pleasure. He is a brilliant hacker and tech, able to both slice into nearly any system in record time or scratch together replacement parts for the Rameseum in hours.

All of which makes it so much more puzzling why he daily places himself in horrendous danger of bodily and professional harm. Many will attest to his almost insane willingness to leap headfirst into the most dangerous situations, and his seemingly supernatural ability to live through them. His carefree, dismissive attitude towards danger is exacerbated by his fickle spirit, which leaves him almost totally unpredictable from one moment to the next. He is a bit pushy, and tends to put people off with his insistence on each day's random goal. Torill and Zolar often go at odds when Zolar's decisions do not sit well with the more cautious man. Unfortunately for Torill, Zolar also owns an iron will when it comes to doing whatever the hell he wants to, whenever the hell he wants to do it. Zolar is the type of character that ruins classic space opera, not because he tears it down, but because he tears it down and then rebuilds it to his own custom specifications. But then, The Big Easy ain't exactly classic space opera, and the character of Zolar had a lot to do with that...

Zolar was originally the son of the Moff of the Brentaal Sector, but spent only a year in Imperial Academy before growing irritated with the regimentation of it and went AWOL to start a career as a scout. He was remarkably bad at this, but did find and reactivate Ramses 3000, who became his companion. The two became drifters before scoring a shipping job with Prenin Inro, and meeting Torill and Tu'ebb.

Zolar's extensive cybernetics, most made necessary by a bad speeder crash, include a modified and experimental Aj^8 unit, a full-head wraparound version of the more popular model that decreases the tendency towards the eerie silence and logic of those such as Lobot. Still, many noted Zolar's shift towards calm, collected self-interest after the accident from the more random, dangerous scout and drifter of before. A full catalog of Zolar's (known) cybernetic abilities follows:

Aj^8 Unit (Built-in comlink allows silent communication; data processor speeds calculations, such as hacking and computing; used in combo, can remotely control computer systems and droids with modified restraining bolt), cybernetic eyes (allow vision in full spectrum: IR, UV, Light-amp and millimeter-wave radar), wrist-mounted, hidden spring-loaded vibrodagger, mini holo projector in palm (allows control of remote systems, communication, and a vareity of other functions - literal Palm Pilot), prosthetic lower leg and upper arms, fiber-optic hair (small patch of hair is fiber-optic cable, allowing color changes and lighting), hibernation mode ( w/ Survival check can slow all vital functions to near-stop to produce deathlike state).
