And it might have stopped there, but when Castor sang, he revealed the depths of his soul, and it was clear that his hurt was yours too, and perhaps it was the hurt of every man who had gone to the black. He never finished his degree, because he found better musicians, and with them his singing made him rich, for a time. They were travelling to a gig on Persephone when the reavers struck. They took his eyes, and left him with the scars on his face, which mean you remember him because their terrible beauty which will keep his face in your memory for as long as your compassion lasts. He doesn't talk about how he survived. Some say he sang to the reavers, and when they began to weep they turned on each other, or simply turned away, leaving him alone, sightless, on that empty shell floating in the richness of the dark.Castor released only one song after that, The Time around Scars, and it is the last song played at every dance you've ever been to, if you've lived at all well.  It's been almost a decade since then, and Castor continues to live in the black. He always was a smart lad, and he's found that he can keep an engine running when he needs to. His voice is nowhere what it once was, but if you've been on a ship with him, his voice might be the last thing you hear before you close your eyes at night, brushing away that final tear.***Agility d6Strength d4Vitality d6Alertness d12Intelligence d8Willpower d12Blind (-4), Memorable (-2), Non-Fighting Type (-2), Overconfident (-2)Total Recall (+4), Good Name (+4), Allure (+2), Sharp Senses: Touch (0), Sharp Senses: Hearing (0)SkillsAthletics d6Artistry d4Discipline d6- Mental Resistance d8Influence d6- Persuasion d8- Seduction d8Linguist d2Mechanical Engineering d6- Maintenance d8- Repair d8Perception d6- Intuition d8Performance d6- Singing d12Scientific Expertise d4Technical Engineering d6 ***Never made a Serenity character before, but I'm willing to try.
