Arc Zabaton

Arc Zabaton is an Akkar warchief who serves as an Arc in the New Order. Ze commands the warbarge Herald. Ze is warlike and merciless, with a tendency toward violence over diplomacy.

Appearance
As an Akkar, Zabaton is a nonapod, possessing five legs and four arms. Zabaton can normally be seen clad in brown armour over a black plastic body suit that covers much of zirs ruddy ochre skin. Various pipes and cables connect zir to the armour's life support modules. The helmet ze wears is a construction of ivory coloured metal and red tinted glass, two bulbous insectoid eyes covering most of the surface. A strange device attached to the back of the helmet buzzes with static. This is part of Zabaton's breathing apparatus, providing an oxygen-nitrogen-sulfur mix for the Akkar to breathe. Ze has a fairly humanoid torso. Two insectoid secondary arms protrude zirs midsection, most often holding a small translator unit, and zirs primary arms generally hold either a poleaxe, the traditional Akkar weapon, or a beam rifle.

Personality
Zabaton is harsh, warlike, and without mercy. Ze revels in exerting zirs power as an Arc over weaker or more powerless individuals. Zabaton appears not to consider the New Order the end point of zirs career, instead viewing the power the title of 'Arc' affords zir as a tool. Ze is also manipulative, having sold out the other Akkar warlords to Arc Jinzo when the New Order arrived at Akkai.

Pronouns
As an Akkar, Zabaton uses the following pronouns.

He - Ze

His - Zirs

Him - Zir

Himself - Zirself

Pacification of Akkai
Zabaton was the first Akkar Arc Jinzo encountered when approaching the world of Akkai. Aboard Zabaton's warbarge, Herald, ze told Arc Jinzo that zirs race was splintered into various warring factions who would never all bend the knee. Instead, Zabaton suggested that the planet be virus bombed, eliminating zirs competition to be the head warchief of the Akkar. Jinzo saw that Zabaton was a vicious and easily manipulated individual, and acquiesced.

New Order Activity
Currently Zabaton, aboard Herald, prepares to make war on Liquid-Metallicon as part of a New Order fleet tasked with the planet's pacification.

Abilities & Powers

 * Telekinesis - Zabaton appears able to exert a level of telekinetic power, crushing a man's head from afar by merely stretching out zirs hand.
 * Void Adaptation - As an Akkar, Zabaton is able to survive for short periods in space. This ability is afforded to zir in part by zirs armour suit.

Trivia

 * Zabaton's helmet's appearance has similarities with 4LOM, a bounty hunter who appears in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
