Trân Vân Olufemi

Birth Planet: Persephone Allegiance:
Height: 172 centimeters (5' 8") | Weight: 66 kilos (145 lbs) | Age: 22 standard years

A Core-born Vietnamese-African, Olufemi is not unfamiliar with life on the Rim. He keeps a low profile, and has hired on to a few ships as a deckhand (a trade at which he is not especially skilled) and been kept around because he always has a tidbit of information useful when the ship's crew gets into a scrape. Invariably, his welcome wears thin when it turns out he knows much more than he has any business knowing. That's fine with him; it's best to keep moving.

Appearance

A dark-skinned man with Asian features, Olufemi wears the rough clothing of a physical laborer, in nondescript beiges and browns. He's a small man with a wiry build who moves with the confidence of an athlete. His most striking feature is his penetrating steel-grey eyes, which would verge on unnerving if they weren't accompanied by a ready smile and the man's studied politeness. He sports high-quality worker's boots, which judging his wardrobe is where he spent all of his credits.

Not visible until he rolls up his sleeves or removes his shirt is an intricate lattice-work of colorful Triad tattoos covering his torso and forearms.

Olufemi keeps a low profile, only speaking when necessary and keeping to the corners. It's easy to forget he's there. When he does speak, it's with a dry wit and a certain intensity.

Signature Assets

Triad Tattoos d6
There are more languages out there than just spoken words, and you’re wearin’ some on your skin. Those who’ve led hard enough lives, they’ll recognize the patterns, see the words, and know you for what you are. With the right audience, that’ll open doors, or shut mouths.

The Things I've Learned d6
Years of being a mind reading information broker have resulted in all manner of privileged information being stored in the mind of Olufemi.
