Characters
Zaeed Massani is a feared, respected bounty hunter and mercenary soldier. He is a human male. He is stoic and very rough, not at all one for friends or being kind. He believes that everyone has an angle. No one does anything purely out of the ‘kindness of their heart;’ they must gain something. He started a gang by the name of the Blue Suns with his partner Vido Santiago. After the gang insisted on becoming involved in slave trading, Zaeed vehemently disagreed. Their relationship ended quickly when Vido ordered six men to hold him down and shot him point blank in the face. He survived the shot and became overcome with desires of revenge. He is an alcoholic due to the immense pain in his recovery, drinking anything he can get his hands on. He refuses to call it a grudge. Every time he looks down a sight, he sees Vido’s face. Every time he hears a gunshot. Every time he closes his eyes. He’s deeply traumatized by the event, but buries it under rage and revenge, sure that will solve his every problem.
Intro
Zaeed would be lying if he said he didn’t come to the stripclub for the entertainment. While he didn’t care about being a liar, he’d come to realize it was harder to convince yourself than any other.
It wasn’t like he came for the drinks. Everyone knew Onyx Lounge’s alcohol was over-priced. You might be able to get a good glass of whiskey, sure, but it would cost you an arm and a leg or indentured servitude. Zaeed was quite attached to his limbs -- and he didn’t quite have the face for dancing -- so he stuck with the cheap stuff.
He sipped the beer quietly. No, that was an insult to beer. This was water that tasted like moldy bread. But it gave him a buzz well enough, so he forced it down. Besides, he wasn’t here for the drinks. He was here for the entertainment.
He kept his eye on the dancers, idle and silently admiring. He was a regular here by now, though he was sure no one took note of him. Sure, the face was easily recognizable -- but it acted like a natural deterrent. Especially to pretty-faced dancers.
