Character: Omalka VenKrozen

Summary: Omalka VenKrozen, also known as "Omal", is the captain of the Celeste, a pirate ship that scours the seas of Lolakeli in search of any viraks terrorizing the locals.

Backstory: Omal hails from the species known as "senkai", a race of celestial immortals born from the dust of stars. He was orphaned when he was an infant, and was taken in by Delora, another senkai about ten years older than him. She took Omal to Lolakeli in the hopes of finding a place to hide from the viraks, who were hunting senkai to use them as a source of energy. When Omal was a teenager, viraks found him and Delora and began to pursue them. Delora hid Omal in a crate sitting on a ship bay and was captured. He was found two days later by Rekovar, the captain of the Celeste. Rekovar took Omal in as a crew member and taught him how to sail and fight. When viraks attacked the Celeste, Rekovar sacrificed himself to ensure Omal's survival. With his dying breath, he bequeathed the Celeste to Omal.

Fighting Style: Unfortunately, due to a birth defect, he is unable to use magic, unlike normal senkai. To make up for this handicap, he learned how to use various weapons, his favorite being a cutlass, as its wide blade is ideal for shattering basic viraken shards. He focuses on close-range attacks, and uses his agility to his advantage. He also has great battle prowess, as he has many years of experience under his belt.

Personality: Due to his immortality, he shows no real fear and is very cocky and reckless. However, deep down he has a heart of gold. He sees his crew as his family, and his loyalty knows no bounds. However, when he's provoked, he will get physical and fists will fly. He also is very flirtatious, yet still maintains a great respect for the ladies.

Story Role: Omal met Hannah Broeman when she was being chased by viraks on the docks of a small town. He found out about her quest to become an Enfulzi, and decided to assist her. He became her self-proclaimed guardian, and over time, began to see her as an adopted little sister.
