Personality
A cold, quiet Marksman for hire. He previously lived by himself, barely keeping himself alive while simultaneously going on missions that could potentially kill him. His apartment complex is run down and filthy, and his living space is no exception. He is the kind of person who lives day-to-day, not putting any thought or effort into the future. He wants to "leave" but he doesn't have the means to do so. He makes enough to feed himself and pay the bills, but not much beyond that. He doesn't think he has any skillsets beyond pulling the trigger, so even if he were to leave, he is clueless as to what he could do once gone.
Background
As a young teenager, he lived homeless for a few years. He offered himself as a science experiment for Zesys Unlimited to survive. They wiped his memories, replaced with knowledge to do the jobs they assigned him. They implanted mechanical eyes, connected to a small chip in his brain. He can mentally trigger the chip to overlay his ultra clear vision with digital information. He uses the data given to make perfect shots as a sniper.
He failed to escape an impossible battle uninjured, and lost his left leg. ZU removed him from the ranks because of this, immediately deciding the loss of his leg would hamper his abilities. Important ZU information was wiped from his brain, however they allowed him to keep his upgrades, as it would be more expensive to exchange what he already had with lower grade replacements than it would be to take the losses of what he already carries. What money he had saved up went towards his prosthetic leg, and he had little else to his name, and no usable references toward "normal" jobs. Instead, he uses his unnatural skills underground as a for-hire mercenary or bodyguard for black market bigwigs. He proves every working day that the loss of his leg did not affect his capabilities.
Timeline
- A past forgotten: While he was in his early teens, he had enough of being homeless and sold his body to ZU in return for shelter and education.
- He fought as a part of ZU's army and was sent on what ended up being a suicide mission for the team. He was severely injured; 60% of his left leg was blown off. ZU forced him to retire. Using all the money he saved up, he purchased himself a new leg and lived in a dangerous part of town.
- He used his skills and knowledge to begin working for important people underground. A significant portion of his new life fights the very people who made him who he is. It is cathartic.
- Finding 507 in a trash heap, he takes the robot in, hoping to be able to sell him for good cash. It doesn't pan out, but he now has someone to take care of him.

- Take-out

He can easily break down situations and come to a conclusion quickly.
Give him enough money and he'll be a great asset.
He's rather insensitive to others' feelings, and tells it like it is.

- 180 cm, an adult of unknown background.
- Fit but somewhat lanky from a poor diet.
- Zuhbas is a lanky man with a tanned complexion, and his skin is covered in scars.
- He's surprisingly fit for someone who eats as poorly as he does, but he does continuously burn what could be anxious energy by doing light exercising almost around the clock
- His hair is naturally a dark brown, almost black, and he's recently dyed it to be a dark purple, but the roots are very blatantly growing in. It is quite long on one side, reaching just below his chest a braid he keeps it in, however the back is very short and wild, and the hair on his right side reaches just past his chin.
- His right leg is heavily scarred on the left side, and his left leg is a metal prosthesis, from about halfway on his thigh down.
- Zuhbas tends to dark colored modern clothing. None of it is particularly fashionable now, but was considered the in-style at some point. He wears tight long sleeve shirts, generally a solid color. His pants are normally on the baggy side and either camo-print, brown, or black. He is mostly likely to enjoy cargo-styled for the extra pockets. He has a favored jacket, also worn tightly. It is black with gold stripped trim and a rusty brown fur lining the hood.
- He is almost always scowling, a perfect example of rbf. He has thick dark brown eyebrows and his eyes are red with black cross-shaped pupils.
- His eyes have better than perfect vision. With the chips in both his eyes and his brain, he's able to overlay what he sees with information such as height, weight, gender, and age of a target.
- Lost his team in an explosion, along with his left leg from the knee down. He was forcibly retired from duty, even though he's otherwise capable of work.
- He doesn't remember anything from his life before being adopted by the Zesys Corporation.
- Owns about a dozen guns, from smaller pistols, to sniper rifles.
A defective android Zuhbas took in. While Zuhbas doesn't care enough to take care of himself, he does put forth a bit of effort to keep 507 up and running, as the android does a fantastic job of doing all the chores Zuhbas has no interest in doing.
A 'kid' that Zuhbas worked with a few times. He's well known for taking anyone and anything anywhere you want, and has taxi'd Zuhbas to places on a number of occassions, with the promise of never ratting him out.
The head of Zesys Unlimited. She was in charge of the research that Zuhbas and the rest of his comrades were thrown into. She was the brains behind the blueprints for both his eyes and the chip in his brain. She also founded the android system that works for countless people around the world. They have never met, but Zuhbas holds some notable disdain for her anyway.
