Behold the biggest jerk of all is here! Lol, well kinda will get to that in the profile. I've been talking about Zalfzed on occasion for about... a year because that's how freakin' long it took me to get through the rest of the cast. I wanted it to be fitting to contrast Darwin that the important cast (since there are minor characters that haven't been drawn yet but I plan to do that on my own time) would start with the canonball protagonist that gets the story rolling and ends with the canonball antagonist that is indirectly (and occasionally directly especially as the story progresses) gets the conflict rolling. I'll go into more detail with that with the profile.

History:
Zalfzed was born to one of the wealthiest families on the planet Cellon. From a young age he showed limited interest in following authority but a lot in tinkering with situations and people. When both his parents died as he just reached adulthood Zalfzed became the show individual to inherit the wealth. Thing was his interests in using it for good was definitely not in the cards as he started to immediately invest in the dealings of some of the shadiest characters within the known universe. Over time he gained several as allies and thus gained considerable power as well. Thing is he kept in the shadows about his business dealings in order to make it harder to ever be caught. Eventually using these connections he got early access to some new technology designed to bring utter destruction to any planet. This intrigued him so he immediately invested in the project. As he barely got the deal signed the slave responsible for this planet killing machine escaped; destroying the blueprint and all progress on this device in the process. As their master was planning to just kill the little troublemaker Zalfzed made a further deal to take the ownership off their hands in order to indirectly get the device and any future technology this talented individual had to offer. As of the beginning of the story he and Prac have been sending bounty hunter after the former slave under the belief this slave was the criminal of the situation.
Personality:
I'm just going to level with you: Zalfzed is a psychopath. I mean that in the least ableist use of it. I'm using the actual definition here. Zalfzed is completely incapable of empathizing with others on top of having at best shaky morals. He's bold, manipulative and devious overall. One thing he does have over most people with his personality disorder is control, while he does occasionally do something impulsive for instant gratification he has enough self preservation to do it in situations where it won't get him in much if any trouble.
Zalfzed only morality seem to be he thinks barriers shouldn't exist, while most people think positive there he's talking legalizing murder and torture on top of other things I rather not list because than I would need a content warning. That's how absolutely bad news this person happens to be. He views reality more akin to a child playing a violent video game then someone living in reality. Everyone he encounters is a throwaway NPC which the very thought of giving it remorse is laughable, they're just a stepping stone for him to "win".

There is no redeeming qualities to be given to this character... they're legitimately a monster. He may be less directly "let's take over the universe!!!" like Kirvak is he's just as much a threat to its safety.
Other points of interest:

  • You'd be amazed to know how he's dressed is actual casual wear for residences of Cellon. Zalfzed is one of those rich people that doesn't dress above a an average joe. Whether he's playing the part of a average person or just likes the way it looks its a mystery.
  • For the record before someone call evil albino trope on Zalfzed you can see his eyes are more a greenish blue not to mention he has cream coloured fur as well as white. Whitish Kisob'ae are a natural occurring coat rather than a mutation which descend from populations living in colder cloudier areas of their planet.
  • Zalfzed did have red face tattoos at one point much like most others of his kind but got them done over as black. Its consider taboo to use black in on your face within most Cellonian cultures as its consider bad luck and thus he did it just because he could.
  • Also before you feel this person is an edgemaster Zalfzed is actually decently polite when talking surprisingly enough. I guess I could have put that as a good trait but considering he rather show you how much of a shit he doesn't give rather than be all talk its kinda makes him worse.
  • On that note I can't even say 'doesn't discriminate' like I did with Prac because he's a xenophile. He sees some species and individuals of those species as "exotic" and therefore he wants them for various personal reasons. This sounds ok on paper but it makes how he treats such individuals a lot creepier. Subsequently he also treats individual of "common" species and morphs like they're boring and not worth his time.
  • Zalfzed is honestly creepy in general regardless of what species you happen to be. Its to a point some of his allies won't even be alone in a room with the guy just in case he gets a random impulse to do something that cannot be undone later.

So enjoy and feel free to leave feedback or a favourite if you want... and hopefully there isn't too many typos.

    I'm actually curious now, what other colors for face tattoos have symbolic meaning among the Kiso'bae?

      Apologies for taking about 2 weeks to respond to this. I'm still recovering my mental health stuff so I wanted to make sure I didn't half ass the response too much. I actually wrote the response over at my sci fi specific tumblr http://projectentirety.tumblr.com/post/154653865652/sorry-for-being-ultra-uber-quiet-lately-i-went . Hope that's a good answer :)

        Oooh, neat!~ And it's okay, I've been in a pretty shitty spot mentality-wise myself as of late.

            I'm a lot better now (after I got dumped in the psyche ward for a week, ugh), thanks for the concern. ;w; i hope you're alright too...

              ;3; Eeep, yeah I've dealt with that before (luckily its been a good... decade since I've been the psyche ward... not that I shouldn't have gone to it over the years but I'm a stubborn old mule that just let's himself suffer) anyway I'm doing quite a bit better now. I'm finally getting back on track with drawing and stuff for once!
