(ZAY-BUN)
Name: Zabun
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Race: Majin
Homeworld: Earth
Starting Planet: Earth
Appearance:
Zabun is, for the most part, your typical majin. Red iris on black sclera, single long antenna coming from the top of his head, "vents" on his head, arms and chest. However, unlike most majin, Zabun's tough rubbery skin has taken on a more purple coloration due to his time spent in space. He stands at 6ft 1in tall and weighs around 225 pounds. His build is thick with well defined muscles. His noseless face is almost always stuck in a smug and mischievous grin. Zabun carries himself with an often arrogant demeanor, but closer observation shows hints of paranoia and suspicion.
Zabun often wears old black battle armor with no shoulder pads and brown straps. He wears the traditional majin baggy white pants and black belt, but with a red buckle. His forearms are adorned with black bracers with red trim, and his feet with black boots with the same red trim. Rings of varying design adorn his fingers, including his thumbs, and often decorates his antenna with gold and silver rings. It is also common for him to wear necklaces and earrings. Occasionally Zabun wears a golden hilted scimitar with a decorative scabbard on his belt, though it is solely a decorative item.
Backstory:
{Spoiler} Zabun's only memory of his family are the words of wisdom his father shared with him. Never beg for anything. These words have guided his life and, at times, almost ended it. Growing up alone on the streets of a post-war East City as an orphan of war, he turned to theft to survive. The streets taught him a lot; how to steal, how to run a con, and, perhaps most important, how to fight. It was bad enough having no family or friends, but being a majin made things that much tougher. Soon, Zuban began to desire more. He began to look to the stars.
After years of fighting for his life in East City, the now teenaged Zabun finally found an escape; a cargo ship leaving for free space. He snuck onto the ship and hide among its cargo. Zabun managed to stay hidden until the ship was attacked by pirates. The pirates captured the crew and took the ship to their hidden base where they began to unload the ship's cargo. Zuban attempted to escape in an emergency pod, but was discovered. Once more he had to fight for his life. He was determined, but outnumbered, and he was beaten nearly to death.
Beat within inches of death, Zabun knew this was the end. Grenban, the pirate captain, approached Zabun, stretched out his hand and began charging a ki blast. That is when he told the young majin to beg for his life. Never beg for anything. With the words of his father echoing in his head, Zabun found the strength to stand, stared defiantly into the Grenban's eyes and refused to beg, saying he would rather die. This both shocked and impressed Grenban, and he offered him a place among his crew. With nowhere else to go, Zabun accepted.
Zabun grew into adulthood among the crew and they taught him how to use his ki and natural abilities in combat. Grenban groomed him for leadership and made him first mate. Their last attack on what they thought was a lone cargo ship turned into an ambushed by the Planet Trade Origination. The pirate crew fought for their lives as it was obvious the PTO forces had no intention of capturing them alive. An injured Grenban fled deeper into the ship and Zabun, who was also badly wounded, followed. Grenban lead Zabun to a hidden escape pod and it became clear that his intentions were to leave his crew to die.
Zabun confronted Grenban, insisting that he remain onboard and fight to the death his crew. The two of them began to fight and Zabun ended up being knocked backwards into the escape pod which then launched him into space. After hours of drifting through space, Zabun is eventually picked up by passing smuggler ship. The smuggler's leader, Pearus, allowed Zabun to join his crew on a trial bases after hearing his story. However, Zabun left out the details of his fight with Grenban hoping to spare his captain's reputation in death. After a few months, Pearus accepted Zabun as an official part of the crew, but this did not last long as the PTO struck once again. This time Zabun had no choice but to run.
After he parted ways with Pearus, things got tougher for Zabun. With little zeni and a ship that seemed to be little more than a pile of junk, not to mention his bad reputation for running away, it became difficult for him to find work. One day, while desperately trying to find a job, he was approached by none other than Pearus. Pearus came with a message for Zabun; Grenban is alive and seeking for revenge. Not wanting to face his old captain, there was only one thing Zabun could do. He had to hide somewhere where Grenban would never think to look. For the generous price of Zabun's ship and all the zeni he had, Pearus offered to help him erase his tracks. It was decided, Zabun was going back to Earth.
