Physical Description

Darro Zhen is a human male in his mid fifties. Incredibly tall and powerfully built he stands six feet five inches in height and weighs in at two hundred and eighty six pounds. He has a well defined physique, broad shoulders and a thick short neck. His head is shaved bald though if he had hair it would be the same smoky grey colour as his neatly trimmed beard. His eyes are a dark brown almost black colour and are often described as hard. His nose is slightly crooked the result of more than one broken nose that was never properly set.

His most notable features used to be the numerous scars that cover a good portion of his body. The most visible of said scars are the series of ragged near vertical lines that run down the right side of his face. One third of his back is covered in a large series of burn scars and he also has numerous stab, blaster and bite scars on his arms, legs and torso. Recently however the thing that catches most peoples attention is his left arm. The loss of half the limb just below the elbow has necessitated the need for a prosthetic.

Tis But A Scratch (General Aspect)

For more than thirty years Darro Zhen has put his life on the line for hard currency and over the decades has taken his fair share of punishment. Whether it’s getting shot, stabbed, beaten, bitten or surviving shuttle crashes Darro has experienced just about every type of pain imaginable and lived to tell the tale. Due to the amount of physical punishment he has taken over the years he has become more than a little desensitised to pain and can shrug off injuries and trauma that would put most men in the med bay if not the ground. All that abuse has taken a toll however and Darro is beginning to feel the effects as his knees, back and hands tend to ache most of the time while the pain is even more pronounced as the weather grows cold or wet.

Been There, Done That (General Aspect)

Over more than thirty years as a mercenary and bounty hunter Darro Zhen has just about seen and done it all. He has operated on a multitude of worlds in environments as diverse as the concrete canyons of city wide planets to the frozen tundra of planets coated in ice and snow, desert worlds baked dry by blazing suns to swampy worlds where each step is a battle in itself. As such there isn't much that surprises the old Mandalorian warrior any more and he is comfortable operating in a multitude of environments. The biggest drawback of this life of adventure and excitement is that Darro never really feels like he belongs anywhere and finds it difficult to form lasting bonds with people and is often mistrustful of strangers when he first meets them.

Haunted By The Past (Personality Aspect)

For over twenty years Darro Zhen commanded a small ten man fire team of hardened Mandalorian warriors. They operated across the galaxy performing a variety of missions without losing a single soldier in combat. That all changed one night when Darro lost seven of his nine compatriots and barely managed to escape with his own skin intact. To this day he still blames himself for the loss of the soldiers under his command and is reluctant to lead soldiers into battle once more.

All I Have Is My Honour (Personality Aspect)

Darro Zhen was born and raised amongst Clan Haruss considered one of the more honorable Mandalorian warrior clans. As such he has a strong sense of personal honor which can often lead to confrontation if he feels his honor has been impugned in some way. And despite his history as a mercenary and bounty hunter he has a strong moral compass and is uncomfortable performing deeds he deems evil or cruel and will actively go out of his way to stop such actions taking place.

Hold The Line (Combat Aspect)

For generations the warriors of Clan Haruss were famous for holding the line until everyone else was clear. Only then would they fall back, often sacrificing themselves to cover their allies. Darro Zhen holds to this ideal, standing his ground even in the face of overwhelming odds to ensure that those he fights with are safe before thinking of his own safety. He will willingly put his life on the line to cover a retreating force or rescue a downed comrade from the battlefield. Always thinking of people's safety before his own he will willingly lay down his life to protect his friends and allies.

Some Folks Just Need Killin' (Combat Aspect)

Despite over thirty years as a mercenary and bounty hunter Darro Zhen never enjoyed taking lives. In fact during his bounty hunting days he made it a habit of bringing in every bounty alive unless given no other choice. Despite this though experience has taught him that there are just some people in the galaxy who need to be put down like the rabid dogs that they are. But every time he takes a life the guilt he feels builds up a little more making him work even harder to square the ledger by saving someone else's life.
