He has the ability to burn and rapidly dehydrate his enemies just by touching them. This is not an inborn power–he got infected by a semi-sentient alien bacteria once and it protects him sometimes. When using the power, his skin turns pitch black with swirling blobs of blue-green in shifting patterns on his shoulders and torso.

He's an avid explorer and has a sharp nose for anything valuable. When he was young, he dreamed of leading expeditions in search of unknown worlds and forms of life. Fringe scavenging offers many of the same excitements–but way less fame and glory.

Prone to violence and recklessness. Pretends to be in control but often has no idea what he's doing. Has developed some strong prejudices towards certain alien races and knows exactly how to be as rude as possible to them. Not good at pep talks.

Is both a pilot and ship's mechanic, speaks several common languages, can make fast decisions, good with guns and also his fists if necessary, experienced at trading/bartering.

Commanding, jaded, ambitious yet pessimistic, not all that sociable.

His small, beat-up spaceship–a little C-9006 Dinger he got from a retired military scout in Paraman. Her instruments are perfect for scavenging, too. All he had to do was convert some extra space for cargo and add a carbon tagger, which is pretty easy.

Limited. Most of what he knows is street-smarts kind of stuff or self-taught.

Was born on a planet called Neue (Pronounced NO-ay).
Grew up poor in a large, mostly human colony called Speranta. Left when he was fourteen and hasn't been back since. He's bounced from one trading crew to another for a long time, and now he's the captain of his own ship.
He's worked for (and sold goods to) criminals in the past, and has done a few underhanded things himself over the years. He's also wanted in some places. Still, he has standards.

Tough, militaristic old clothes with lots of pockets.

Yeah, he looks like Jake Gyllenhaal, but with slightly more beard and less of a smile.
