Rabbit off the string.
"What do they say I am now? Why don't you try me and see."
Ajani Hakan is a masseus working at the Sun and Moon Parlor of Linewalker Station. He was raised in the Dominion Military, and defected with a friend to join the Federation Bounty Hunters Guild. After taking severe wounds he retired from the combat life, became a masseus, and focused on the difficult task of adjusting to a new life.
From a young age he displayed a remarkable affinity for the air aether and his training assisted him in harnessing that power for combative uses. He has been spending the last few years finding ways to master it for other means, to great affect, but he hopes to make a journey to find a master when he finds someone.
Because of Ajani's naturaly high speed and aetherial affinity, he was assigned to a Dominion Vanguard unit and recieved berserker and mech training, enabling him to effectively be sent into the frontlines and survive. After serving as a Dominion Vanguard he was assigned to the peacekeeping forces of Hyacinth, the less said about which the better. While he has recieved some therapy for his time in the Dominion Military and FBHG, it is still a dominating aspect of his mental space. Currently Ajani self-medicates via legal narcotics, and does his best to keep a cheerful demeanor.
Under the guidance of the sisters, Ajani has been able to work his aetherial manipulation into his massages, making him a powerhouse. While his rates are high, his massages are worth it. If you find yourself on the edge of the great expanse, hit up the Linewalker station for a charming rabbit's magic touch.

Abilities
Wind Touched(Trait)
Ajani has a high affinity for the air aether, and it has danced around him since his childhood. Ajani's steps are light, he is often propelled by the wind, and loves the feeling of wind in his hair.
Rabbit's Foot(Trait)
Something or someone is smiling down on Ajani. Whenever Ajani would recieve a lethal blow, he narrowly survives (albiet with grevious wounds). It can only trigger again once the previous wound has finished healing.
Feral Tendencies and Berserker Training(Trait+Feat)
There is a rage that comes from somewhere in Ajani's genes akin to berserkers in ancient cultures, it's usually drawn out as a desperate response to danger or overhwleming anger. Luckily, the Dominion Military had a training program for people like him. Ajani can willingly enter a state of feral rage and push himself past regular mental barriers. It also makes him incredibly volatile, reckless, and amplifies his emotions which both feed the state and his strength. This trait and training allows him to operate effectively on the front line as a vanguard, and survive.
Mech Training(Feat)
As a non-ethnic Varanian, Ajani is very small compared to the typical draconic soldier. Having proven dexterous enough, he was allowed to undertake training to pilot the various exosuits that would bring him to the stature of his draconic team-mates and provide a degree of utility to whatever team he was attached to. Because these machines are likely to get disabled frequently, he was trained on a variety of battle-field models. When his own mech was disabled, his immediate priority became to find and kill the closest enemy pilot, and take their mech. Something his speed and aether made him good at.
Punching above Weight-class(Feat)
Thanks to his upbringing in Dominion society, Ajani has always been surrounded by people who tower over him. Overtime he has picked up the skills and gone through the training to fight, run, and sleep with the best of them. First rule of punching up, don't get hit.
Like a Rabbit(R.Trait)
Ajani has a host of rabbit like behaviors despite his more human appearance. Ranging from thumping the ground with his foot when he's upset, to various rabbit noises, to more r18 tropes about rabbits. In most ways except physical, he is rabbit. This has a host of benefits! Such as enhanced hearing, running, endurance, soft hair, peets, and more!
Skills
Melee Mastery
Whether by palm and claw, or by lance, Ajani was thoroughly trained to fight in close proximity in any situation. Because of the amalgam of arts that make up his methods, he jokingly refers to it as "rabbit style".
Air Aether Manipulation
Thanks to rigorous military training and high affinity, Ajani has managed to become an expert in the manipulation of air aether, granting him a slew of air related abilities such as gliding(air and ground), air senss and more.
Magic Hands
A unique combination of his masseus training and air manipulation, Ajani has been slowly developing a mixture of the two to increase his capabilities for relaxing massages, and provide extra comforts for his clients and friends.

Story
Ajani Hakan was born to a small desert town upon the planet Abe'lisau. What little childhood he had was spent sprinting through the dunes that existed just outside the small oasis, the sweeping wind as he soared over sand providing all the thrill he and his friends needed. Those memories, of feeling the wind in his hair and the sun scorching his face as he raced through the sand, are the only memories he has left of that small oasis town. At the age of five he was evaluated, and at six he was settled into the Dominion Military Academy. It was here that the life of a Dominion soldier was ingrained into Ajani's soul, where he learned to move, to communicate, to kill. It's where he learned to harness that wind he loved for combat, where he learned how to pilot various old mechs so he could fight on the frontlines alongside the Varanian infantry, and to harness a rage he never wanted. Mostly importantly, its where he met Gwendolyn Hainoko.
Ajani being skilled in air aether and having the potential to be a berserker saw his remaining school time cut unfortunately short. He was sent to a vanguard unit to finish his training and eventually be deployed in peacekeeping operations on Hyacinth. In the Vanguard unit earning his marks as a fierce combatant despite his size, and after a year of peacekeeping in Hyacinth he hit the end of his first full cycle and was allowed to go on an extended leave on Abe'lisau. During this leave he reconnected with Gwen, and their time on Abe'lisau concluded with Gwen asking if he wanted to leave the Dominion with her. Without hesitation, Ajani said yes, and they slid comfortably into the Federation Bounty Hunters Guild. With speed an energy found in few places, Ajani kept up with the ruthless efficiency that Gwen had, until he finally pushed himself far enough. After recieving serious wounds in a "hunt" Ajani ended his bounty hunting career, preferring a much safer line of work: Massage. After crushing his way through school, Ajani began to wander, picking up work where he could and taking any opportunity to learn the non-combat side of his aetherial affinity. It wasn't until he found himself on Linewalker Station, particularly in the Sun and Moon Massage Parlor, that he had found his first true home since that little oasis town on Abe'lisau.

Sawyer
Ajani, after some time of having Sawyer as his regular, feels incredibly comfortable with him. He's working up the courage to confess how Sawyer makes him feel, or at least open up more about his past, but doesn't know if its appropriate or even wanted. He'll do a lot for this cat though, and Sawyer is always welcome in Ajani's home.
Gwen
One of the few people he will drop Everything to help. Even if they don't talk as much as he'd like, he still loves her like family. Gwen will always be welcome in Ajani's home.
Milo
Milo is a kind and reliable friend. They get up to all sorts of mischief that usually ends at Ajani's apartment. There are few other people Ajani trusts.
Jackie
Jackie is a wild ride of a regular, and Ajani really enjoys her company. She is one of the few that Ajani feels he can really, really let loose with and occassionally indulge in his urge to get blackout feral. He often comes to with a happily sighing Jackie on his chest, and a very sore body.
Dannie
Another occasional visitor from the Kinboshi crew. Dannie is one of the sweetest people Ajani has ever met.
