Personality
Zasha is a typically mild-mannered sort of man. He tends to be rather soft spoken and is turned off by people (men or women) who feel the need to brag or bluster about, even if the bluster is completely unintentional. He thinks acts of bravado are nothing more then compensation for cowardly men. As such, he tries very hard not to talk about himself or be seen as a braggart in any way, even going so far as to stay silent through most conversations with people he does not know. Along the same lines, he does not take compliments very well. He will deny and deny and deny his own abilities. But despite this, he feels no shame in lavishing praise on the ones he loves. His crew is the best crew; his ship is the best ship (because he has the best crew to fly her) etc. Zasha cares deeply for his crew. He trusts them perhaps more then he should, but he won't stop. He has a very relaxed relationship with them, keeping his authority on board through legitimacy and intelligence instead of power and intimidation. His crew is small and very close knit. Zasha thinks of them very much like a family. This being said, Zasha rarely gives orders. When he would like something to be done, he suggests that perhaps said thing may be good. The crew rarely argues, and he rarely needs to be corrected.

BUT, With all of the above stated, do not let Zasha trick you into thinking he is shy. He does not like to be seen as anything other than what he is, and so might seem quiet and reserved. He has little to no personal bubble and an incredibly wicked sense of humor.


 *  BREAKING NEWS 


 * As of this winter, Aleksandr Tarasov is no longer the acting captain to the Zolotoj Kolibri. A rouge fight through a squalling storm and bad landing near a mine in the southern United States left his right arm crushed, a lung punctured, and a hip cracked.  He has appointed a new captain in his place: a medical woman from the mines who was the first into the ship and the first to tell him to his face that if he went back up in the air, his injuries might actually kill him.


 * Impressed with her passion and no-shit personality, Zasha magnanimously offered (perhaps through the haze of morphine and other less refined drugs) to let her take care of his ship while he was grounded. Audrey Ella Burres accepted and now flies at the helm of the Kolibri.
