About Janzur
At 6'4", the
blond, grey-eyed Janzur Therive cuts an impressive figure in his Hegemonic
Elite Guard uniform. Lurking beneath the straight-laced, spit-shined,
taut alertness that he shares with many well-trained military fighters
is a sense of something sad and distant. One gets the idea that his direct
grey glance doesn't miss too much, either.
Janzur's Stateroom
The first thing one
notes about Janzur's stateroom is that it is well-lit, orderly, and spotless.
Everything has a place, and there's a place for everything. Anyone looking
for anything in here probably has it easy, as things are logically and
systematically put away. Items not currently in use are always stowed
for zero-g. On the far wall, above the bed, is secured a painting by Cassandra
Lyrae:
A painting
of several men: In the foreground are two very similar men in similar
Hegemonic uniforms. The older is handing a plasma brand to the younger.
Around the pair are arrayed a middle aged man in an archaic, highly
ornamented suit, another recognizable as Vissarion Nomarche in his typical
regalia, and a third form, difficult to see as it's obscured by red,
blue, and green mist. All of them seem to be holding plasma brands as
well (as if to give them or having just been given them, not in a combat
stance). In the back of the hall, the wall is lined with indistinct
men in various Hegemonic uniforms. It is signed with a peculiar arrangement
of five stars.
(Most
people recognize the two central figures as Janzur (somewhat younger
than he is) and Janzur (somewhat older than he is). The older Janzur
looks more decorated. )
On the left-hand wall
as you enter, a sword is stowed securely to the wall, easy to remove,
but properly stowed for zero-g.
The other thing one
notes about Janzur's stateroom is that there isn't very much there. A
bed, a workspace with a terminal, clothes cabinet, weapons locker, small
footlocker, and a low bookcase with a clear front that looks like it has
some books and other items in it is about all that's there. On the wall
above the workspace are secured a few select pictures from puttering time
on Cerulean, including the Ace mystery watersquirt shot, Katya swim-flying,
Eva playing with a whale, and Cassandra with her fingertips in the water.
They look somehow out of place.
A Day in the Life
of Janzur
Janzur is an invaribly
early riser. After about 15 minutes of quiet sitting after rising, it's
off to the rec. room. Every morning includes a regimen of stretching,
plasma brand, unarmed, and other weapon katas, and calisthenics. Three
mornings a week, a somewhat short but very fierce physical workout plan
is added to the regular plan. Then cooldown, more sitting afterwards,
back to his quarters for a shower, and breakfast.
Breakfast is fairly
large, and eaten with great efficiency, probably around the time that
most of the crew has breakfast.
Periodically throughout
the day, Janzur will do security sweeps of the ship, checking storage
areas, airlocks, secure areas, and the hangar deck, among other spots.
He's also been known
to hold PE classes (unarmed seems a reasonably popular one now, with perhaps
2 students) as well. He prefers to do these pre-breakfast, but is willing
to negotiate if his students have a problem with that. If no classes are
being held, he will use the time to practice with new weapons he may be
learning (currently blades).
Janzur usually has
lunch in the cafeteria with whatever crew happen to be there.
In the afternoons,
Janzur turns to at least an hour of simulation time with piloting and
driving simulators, then reading. Reading continues after dinner (which
is usually light to nonexistant, and again, taken in the cafeteria) until
it's time to retire for the evening.
