Zaeed Massani is a scrappy, poor young human man. He is quick tempered and very quick to fight, not afraid to shoot people he believes to be wrong. He is firm 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 is a homosexual man and has experienced pain for it before, though these days he's more likely to just kill or beat up whoever gives him crap for it. He is homeless if he doesn't live at the gang base, and extremely dirt poor. All of his life has been spent stealing and cheating to survive. He sees no problem with stealing from rich people, knowing they can afford it. He was adopted by a turian male named Tulleus at four years old. His adoptive father is very strict and sometimes cruel, but cares about him. He has ambitions to start a gang someday, though he doesn't yet know of a name for it. He just knows that they will be a ruthless and well-trained bunch. He is still firm on his morals though. No way in hell will his gang ever deal with slavery. Weapons, he can handle. Drugs, yes. But he will never let innocent people get hurt or dragged into their work. He is the secret boyfriend of another young man who is very rich. He doesn't exactly hate them for being rich, though he is a bit envious of their lifestyle. He doesn't understand how they could possibly not enjoy their life. He has to be very secretive about their relationship, as he knows if their father caught a 'lowly street rat' in bed with his son, he'd be killed, or his boyfriend would be disowned. He doesn't want either of those to happen. He is very casual about their relationship and isn't great with the 'lovey-dovey stuff,' but he does genuinely care about them and believes their relationship to be genuine. He has a rifle that he is very fond of, always taking very good care of it, which he calls ‘Jessie.’
Zaeed knew he wasn’t welcome here. His muddy boots, which lay on the otherwise spotless hardwood floor below the window, were not meant to enter the room. His calloused hands weren’t supposed to enjoy the silky-softness of the sheets beneath him. His dry tongue wasn’t supposed to enjoy the delicate chocolates, teeth crushing down on them without appreciation, like they would sustain him any real amount. Most certainly, his eyes were not fit to lie upon him. The rich boy. The son of one of the wealthiest men in the galaxy; and the boyfriend of a lowlife like him. If he was found here, in bed with this important man, he would be killed for sure. No one would remember his name. How exciting.
“Gang’s been busy,” he murmured through a bite of chocolate, leaned on the bed beside them. He knew they liked hearing about the gang he was in. Made them feel excited, or something. Escapism, he supposed, though why they wanted to escape a life of luxury was lost on him.
“Starting to get known, too. Gonna start my own gang one of these days.” He shifted, watching them. They always looked so damn proper. “Once I’ve got a name for myself.”
