Skills
Force Sensitive (y/n): Y
Other Abilities:
Assorted skill set that allows life in space to be somewhat easier. Rudimentary splicing skills only with assisted tools, similar story with any kind of explosive. He can't make his own but so long as the application is simple he won't blow himself up. He can pilot his own ship and can manoeuvres quite well but doesn't have much combat space combat experience, more than any regular spacer though. He can pilot his ship due to his solitary life style which has always birthed the need for him to understand the basics of mechanical repair, able to patch up any obvious problems at least in his own ship that he is familiar with. This mechanical know how thankfully also pooled into a slight hobby of droid construction and repair, which he can do with some finesse.
Overall Strengths:
Certainly one of if not his greatest strength is his level of combat prowess. Having a need to survive from an early age, he's developed his skills over the years in various methods. Hand to hand combat has progressed from a simple street fighting level to a martial prowess that gives him an advantage even when disarmed. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the underside of the galaxy, having survived in black markets and shady deals, he's picked up a level of bartering and negotiation that has staved off death several times. This has also lead to him being able to garner himself contacts and supply lines and identify how and where to attain such things. He is an assuming charismatic sort, having spent years having to hide his nature and choice of path from the galaxy as a whole, which you might consider a form of stealth in a way. being a force user, his reactions are improved beyond a regular individual and his focus and training on combat means that it is somewhat heightened.
Overall Weaknesses:
His greatest strength belies his greatest weakness, his entire combat style and mentality was adopted and trained for open areas meaning that in tight spaces he is quite limited. This can include in smaller buildings and freighters that he lacks the space that would make him far more efficient. It is also his focus on melee combat that leaves him limited in his use of the force, comparatively not a weakness for most but considering the uses that it can provide and the nature of lightsaber combat, he is at a disadvantage compared to others who might use it. It is also the focus on melee combat that he lacks any advantage in ranged combat. Short of saber throws and speed to make up the distance, if caught at range he is immediately at a disadvantage. Beyond combat and physical limitations, he has something to be desired when it comes to small talk and any conversation that isn't a deal or doesn't have some ulterior motive.
Fighting Mindset and Methods: His main armaments are his lightsabers, wielding a pair of curve hilted sabers. He has always favoured a sub form of the Ataru combat stance that focusses on acrobatics and speed, forming into a flurry of blows with his sabers. However this form is somewhat unique has he adopted what he learned from the time before his training meaning he will adopt hand to hand techniques and disarming manoeuvres. He holds the saber in his right hand backward, allowing for expedient blocking followed up by a counter strike with the left, swamping the position of the sabers to suit his need in combat. He is efficient and ruthless, usually on the offensive the counter the opponent putting up a defence in the first place, but he recognizes the strength in allowing an opponent to attack to open up a counter that will finish them off in one blow.


Equipment

Weapons: Two red curved hilted lightsabers.
Inventory/armor:
Adopting a casual outfit of practicality and subterfuge, he explicitly avoids dressing like a force user. Wearing a functional black hooded spacer's long coat that runs down to just above his knees. Beneath that he wears a black robe like shirt with a synth leather overlay that runs over the back, chest and shoulder, the closest thing to a Jedi or Sith garment. Also wears refined yet practical black spacer like trousers and some rugged boots. If he is preparing for a combat mission, he will forgoe the robes and trousers for ones with some light armour plating on them.
Transportation Methods: Private ship (will add more later)


Personality
Likes: Combat, the thrill of chase and violence. The calm of space and the bustle and business of a mega city or core world.
Dislikes: Politics and effort without gain. Avoids pure diplomacy where he can and certainly dislikes a loss of any profit or gain on his part.
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Mindset: Calm and reserved when he needs to be, but certainly not without his violent and angry tendencies.
Personality: Zen has always been focussed when it comes to his direction. He chooses not to dwell on the typical feelings of a Sith, not fuelled by anger or hatred. Indeed those emotions are present within him but they do not drive him nor does the thought of galactic domination rule his heart. He is grounded, if not a little thrill seeking in his behaviour. Generally has his mind on the task at hand, he is not the most easy going sort but he does indeed has a sense of humour. Most simply assume he is a spacer like anyone else and while that is partly an act he certainly doesn't have to stretch himself too far to sell it. He has a vindictive side and when angered he can become quite ruthless, having little in the way of mercy if he decides that your life is in his way. Often with a stern look on his face, he can occasionally be made to laugh and smile, enjoying a jab of humour when he can. He is like any you would expect to see on the streets or cantina of 'Nar Shaddaa' or Coruscant, unassuming but certainly not simple. He has a quick wit and a sharp mind but only knows what he specializes in.


Grand Scheme
The Past: Born and raised in the undercity of Coruscant, Zen remembers very little of his youth due to the nature of his training that followed after it. What he does know is that he grew up around gangs and crime with minimal involvement from his parents, if he even had any that he remembers. Street fights and shady deals were his nature but he was a kid and he was stupid. It wasn't until he finally made it off world in his early teens that he was able to explore, working as a space rat, a sort of run about on a ship serving the captain and trying to fix things. He eventually happened upon an individual who was looking for transport to a remote planet. A Twi'lek female who wore quite striking and odd robes, she took to the young lad for some reason. He didn't think much of it, she was far from the strangest individual he had met. During the long haul, she told him stories of the previous centuries, stories and legends he'd heard before but never with such detail. Wars between the Jedi and Sith and the powers they held, nothing had ever held his attention for so long. She mentioned outright his potential, sensing a fierce power within him. She offered him training, a chance to tap into what had always made him a skilled fighter, he was wary but agreed and disembarked with her when they finally arrived where she needed to go.

He spent the next decade of his life training and honing his skills, he and his master who's name has since been lost in memory by her own will, travelled to all sorts of worlds. It was this combined with his life and work in the seedier parts of the galaxy that allowed him to adapt not only his skills but his lifestyle. He focussed on combat, often acting as an enforcer for his master, who did indeed instil the virtues and knowledge of the force but let him chose his own path. Things are blurry, he remembers actions and undertakings with her but putting them in order is difficult. At some point after she had finished teaching him, she performed some kind of mind trick on him that scrambled areas of his memory, she was ineffective at it as he forget elements of his early life. She is simply a blurry face to him know, remembering her well but not anything specific. She left him with the ship they had acquired together, ready to start a new chapter.

The Present: Working as somewhat of a jack of all trades in the underworld, he takes on several jobs that allow him to continue his life style of travel and battle. He barters for an all manner of things, parts, weaponry, cargo. He does not discriminate in terms of jobs and enjoys the life style. Acting as a skilled information gatherer, a lot of the time, he also acts as the middle man for many deals and meetings, acting as a mediator and link for such things.
Dreams/Goals: He has no larger goals in terms of his Sith nature, certainly always interested in any artefacts with a particular interest in holocrons.
Other: N/A

Force Sensitive
Force Aptitude: Possessing a link to the force, he has not nurtured it in the form of active force abilities. He uses it to fuel his combat prowess, only possessing rudimentary powers. Things like force push, pull and speed are simple and he can do them with ease. He was taught the art of lightning and choke by his master, but lightning especially drains his energy very quickly. He is unaware what his potential in the force may be, not choosing to train it in that path.
Force Bonds: N/A
Master: Unknown.
Padawan: N/A
Force Philosophy: There is no dark, there is no light. There is only the force and what you make of it, it binds everything, it sustains everything. It is the most important thing in the galaxy that you will never notice, it is raw power.
