• Domidar is a well-built, stocky human in his late thirties who appears slightly worn down by life ²⁾. He carries some body fat with a small paunch, but is only barely overweight. Standing at 1.88m (6ft 2in) tall, Domidar masses at an average of 89kg (196 lbs).

• Possessing a duskier skintone than the average spacer, Domidar has short wirey black hair, with hints of grey coming in, that has so far proven immune to every attempt to straighten out that hasn't involved upending a can of grease on it beforehand. Tends to keep himself well groomed all over when time allows.

• Domidar has normal, balanced eyes of a warm brown colour and although a little larger than the average, his ears are human-normal.

• Domidar prefers a lightly-applied exotic, smoky scent of ginger, cinnamon and leather. His voice is deep and gravelly, but not unpleasantly so.

• Although he has his grumpy days, Domidar is generally cheerful, optimistic, good-natured and energetic. He rarely gets stressed by situations and prefers to just go with the flow in the moment. He tends to be flexible, open and adaptable to new situations. Domidar isn't afraid to take a risk and get his hands dirty when appropriate.

• Domidar can be stubborn and set-in-his-ways, especially when there isn't a sufficient cause to change. He can be blunt with his honesty, which can come across as being insensitive or rude on occasion. As something of an introvert, Domidar tends to keep his personal matters personal and will usually prefer silence to small talk. Enjoying novelty and new challenges, Domidar can become easily bored with monotonous repetition of tasks.

• Domidar is not a fan of long-term commitment, preferring short-to-mid term contracts and agreements. He also doesn't always correctly understand the emotions of those around him, meaning he sometimes pushes the boundaries of those around him. Domidar is loyal to his friends, its just sometimes a bit of a challenge to earn membership in that elite group.

Domidar is interested in new experiences and doesn't tend to make long-term plans. As such, he doesn't exactly have any personal goals. Instead, he focuses on putting as much into his current activity as possible:

• As crew of the ISS Sobek, Domidar is determined to do everything he can to support the ship's continuing activity and profitability

• As Cargomaster of the ISS Sobek, Domidar takes personal responsibility for the safe storage and transfer of cargo

• Now heading towards his mid-age, Domidar is starting to consider the advisability and possibility of mating and contributing to the next generation

Domidar is a being who enjoys the feeling of being free. He therefore has some less-than-positive feelings regarding slavery, although indentured labour is acceptable providing there is sufficient protection for the workers.

Domidar was born 07日 07月 07 onboard the 'Pride of Xando', the Sojourner-Class Medium Cargo Transport owned and operated by Domidar's family. The presence of diluted ID-SOL genetics was enough to grant Domidar complete defence against the Great Plague of YE 08, although many of his immediate family members were not so fortunate. The grief at the loss of his mother and sisters drove his father to fall more deeply into his work. Not that Domidar was old enough to notice the difference, especially with the way the few remaining adults aboard essentially adopted the few orphaned children into their care.

• For the first sixteen years of his life, Dominar grew up on the 'Pride of Xando', learning how to be a spacer. His general size, stockiness and strength saw him excelling at the more physically laborious of tasks. It was discovered early on that he didn't deal well with roles that allowed his mind time to wander as Domidar would quickly become bored and irritable.

• On the day after his 16th birthday in YE 23, Domidar was abruptly kicked off the ship by his father to 'experience life'. He would spend six months working a variety of unskilled dockside jobs to make ends meet before the 'Pride' would return. It might have meant the end of any remaining personal relationship between them, but Domidar would later admit that the experience had massively toughened him up.

• Spent the next eight years working aboard the 'Pride', eventually rising to third officer. When father retired, turned over ship to Domidar's uncle who promptly flexed his nepotism and promoted his less-experienced cousins above him. Put up with the altered circumstances until the end of YE 30 before he was forced to leave the ship once more.

• Fortunately a friend of his father took a chance on him and Domidar spent the years YE 31 through to mid YE 35 working aboard the 'Freedom of the Aether', a Courier, type 2a transport ship. When the ship took on a lucrative, long-term supply contract for several new frontier colonies opened after the end of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, Domidar was forced to seek his adventures elsewhere.

• Promised a cargomaster role aboard the 'Resplendent Beauty of the Bountiful Harvest' a Nougaku-Class Agriculture Vessel when the current one retired at the end of his current contract, Domidar took a short-term contract to work as cargo-chief for a company operating several Starliner's. While not terribly satisfying work on a professional level, it did afford Domidar the opportunity to visit a lot of different locations that he had never seen before.

• Domidar served aboard the 'Resplendent Beauty' for eight years, from YE 36 through to YE 44. The ship survived the whole of the Kuvexian War without serious incident. Unfortunately, the ship's luck ran out and it suffered through a harsh pirate attack that resulted in massive damage and loss of life in the latter half of YE 44. Domidar would take several months recovering from injuries sustained in the attack, stubbornly refusing medical advice to just upgrade to a more robust bioengineered human platform.

Fully recovered from his injuries sustained the year before, Domidar began seeking new employment that would get him out amongst the stars once more. His search would take him to Sood Zadra where Domidar would be employed by Captain Lenna Fuji to work aboard the ISS Sobek as her Cargomaster.

Shigatsu

• With the Sobek due to head out to HX-17 on a cargo mission, the crew gathered in the galley for a briefing.

• Cargo Handling - Being the ship duty that best makes use of his size, bulk and strength, this has been what Domidar has been doing for most of his working life. He is heavily experienced with shifting cargo, load-balancing and dealing with special procedures and equipment for more delicate cargoes.

• Communications - Having been exposed to many species over his time in space, Domidar is able to speak many languages, although most are limited to pure basics such as 'hello', 'where is the nearest toilet' and 'do you speak Trade?' He is also fairly adept at reading body language and facial cues. Technically, he is able to utilise the standard communication systems found aboard most civilian starships and vehicles.

• Fighting - Not a stranger to bar fights or dealing with hostile boarders, Domidar is experienced in improvised, close-quarters fighting. He also enjoys boxing and is no stranger to the pistol and shotgun style of personal weaponry found aboard civilian vessels.

• Maintenance & Repair - You don't spend the vast majority of your life aboard starships and not pick up the skills required to keep said ships flying. Accordingly, Domidar is familiar and experienced with common maintenance and repair techniques and the equipment used.

• Mathematics - As part of ship-life, Domidar knows enough mathematics to handle ship accounts, mass balancing equations and perform basic ship operations.

• Starship Operation - Domidar is qualified to work most stations on a civilian ship bridge, as well as pilot most civilian shuttles and small craft.

• Vehicle Operation - As a necessary part of his cargo handling role has involved moving cargo from the ship to off the ship, Domidar is intimately familiar with the operation of a variety of cargo-handling vehicles, from forklifts to cranes to flatbed haulers.

⁴⁾1. Crate of Lorath Missile Warheads - Plasma 2. Starship controls from pilot station 3. Two robot rappers with stereo equipment who use their AI to write hip-hop verses (“bars”) about your character's actions, and follow you around using their shots of you to make music videos about how badass you are. May make it difficult to hide as they follow you around blasting 808 bass beats, sound fx of guys going “HEY” and high-pitched synth lines. They don't eat, smoke, or drink but seem to always possess marijuana because it's part of their branding. Once every 4 hours they can be commanded to perform ULTRA BASS which can disable enemies with super loud, strong bass waves. May result in hearing loss. They can use guns if they really need to.
