Class: Expert Gladiator
Positive Traits:
Admirable- Kadir is the type of man to be looked up to, he has lionhearted and merciful aura that follows him. He is the complete different man than from when he was Cataclysm. Cataclysm was after self-pleasures, how could he have contributed the better for himself. Kadir saw where that road took him, he should of taken the first warning when his wife threatened to leave him he refused to give up the fight. But no, his last mistake was one he could never forget, for it is never right for a father to bury his own child.
Aspiring- Though Kadir is already seen as a hero especially by those of his team, he always directs his heart and hopes to improving his character each day. Some cannot see how it is possible however for a man with such perfect behavior, but Kadir knows that his past reveals his something far behind perfect.
Alethic- For a man to be forty-six, Kadir is considered extremely alethic, well he has to be and also knowing the fact that he once was the legendary Cataclysm, and that that legend still remains inside. He is a strong man, but not a muscle chunk of meat type of guy, no he knows he is not nearly as buff as he once was as Cataclysm he spent so many years trying to run away from his past, when one day he decided that perhaps he should not retreat and scurry in cowardice from his sins but find someway to end the madness that runs in the Colosseum. Thus he had no choice but to kick himself back into his physical training routines.
Benevolent- No one can ever ignore the big and bright kindness stitched deeply in the man's heart. Not one mate in his team can help but feel a warmness inside of the man, he shares he type of company a devoted father gives to his children.
Calm- Kadir is never the man to panic or to burst into anger, and even if others may do so to him, he never allows his feathers to be ruffled. He is the type guy you could tell anything and not have him freak out. But if someone were to make him upset, he rather keeps quiet, and it really does show.
Challenging- Kadir likes to help his team members to strengthen their skills thus he pushes them, giving challenges but also making it fun. He never trains his people to the point of abuse, he believes all people have their limits. However there is always need for improvement.
Charismatic- Kadir is talking, out-going, and friendly. He has always been an open man, one who likes good talks, even before when he was Cataclysm.
Compassionate- He has a care and concern for everyone, even those on Apollo's team, he never can drive himself to hate anyone. He believes everyone deserves love and the more messed up someone shows that perhaps they were given the absence of it. He mentors and teaches his team members that they do not know what occurs in their enemies' lives, that they too are definitely humans. There is no point in fighting fire with fire.
Daring- Kadir is brave, courageous, there is no doubt of that, he challenge Apollo himself, he was the one who started the whole games in the first place. But Kadir knows or more like, feels, as if his purpose in life is to make a difference to put an end to this mindset that death is some kind of game.
Disciplined- It took years of training to whipped an image of a legend he is today, and no he doesn't regret all the years he trained himself, the only thing he does wonder is if he could of done better. However plenty believe there is nothing else he could of done. The only thing Kadir hopes know is that he doesn't push his people to hard, and he promises himself never to, but he also wishes to built a steel discipline inside of them.
Good-natured- A hero, it is what anyone would describe him as. Sure he is still man, he has his scars, his sins, but in the end he finds someway to cling to what is pure. However Kadir does not see justice, he see something greater, he searches for mercy instead.
Negative Traits:
Overly Protective- This occurs especially to his rookie gladiator, he just does not want to face another death, feeling as if he is responsible for it. Everyday he wakes up regretting he challenge, knowing that he has lives on the line, but sometimes life takes sacrifices in order to save so much more. But the question is, is Kadir willing to accept the sacrifices, is he mental prepared?
Tormented by his mistakes- Kadir is a man seen close to perfect, but he knows inside he is far from it. He does not only bottle up his feelings, but he tries to conceal his past. He tormented by nightmares of his daughter's death replaying in his mind, wishing he could do something. He has considered to track that who controlled the mech responsible for her death, but he was assured that even if he gained his revenge, he still would not be happy. For vengeance can only go so far, it cannot bring Adelina back.
Nags- He does scold his teammates, but that is where the father inside of him comes out, and the reason why he nags is because he knows the challenge is serious, lives are on the line and he does not want lose a single one of his friends
Workaholic- compulsively works hard to the point he could pass out from exhaustion

Tattoos/Markings/Scars: Back when he was the superstar that he was as Cataclysm he has his plethora of tattoos stacks on his arms, but nothing significant, things like retro inks of circuits and shapes, but he usually covers them up, not because he is shape of what they simply are but he knows he is getting old and the once smooth skin of his is now folding its wrinkles. But the only scar lays faded and over his left eye from when he was first starting in the gladiator business.

Brief Appearance Description: Kadir is not quite extremely pale but more likely has a mildly white tone. He has a hazel color in the strains of his nicely cut hair with a beard that reaches his cheeks to jaw in a thick manner. He has an eye color of a nice green with a slight hint of brown. Kadir wears not the best armor, well in fact he dug up the white armor from a junkyard stored with the dumped out armor from the Colosseum. The stains of mud can still be seen in a fade against his armor, but Kadir makes it work. Well, he has to, he burned all of his legendary Cataclysm armor. But at least the armor gives him a new name, The White Knight.
Carrying/Weapons/Equipment: But not only is he called the White Knight because of his armor but because of his engery sword. It was something he did not think of much at first, in fact he won it from a gamble and felt rather displeased when getting it. But his opponent promised that it was a killer, and because Kadir did not want to spring into an argument he agreed to take it. But Kadir did finally give it a chance and he was rather impress. But during ranged battles he uses, the gun given by his father, its an older model, but it is at least something that gives Kadir good memories for once.

History:
Childhood
Kadir was born into what seemed at first to be a happy family, his father was a military man and his mother was a nurse. They lived in the nicer of cyberpunk cities, a lovely home, a family-friendly neighborhood. Everything seemed to be an almost unrealistic life for the family due to the constant peace that once believed they were going to receive. But later did Kadir's father, Koba, die on service. However if only things could get worse they did, Kadir's mother, Veda, during the time when Koba was gone, she was cheating on him with wealthy gangster, they called him Domino. He urged Veda to move in with him in Crypt city, he persuaded her that she would love the bright lights, the glitz and glamour type lifestyle, and she believed him. But when the arrived, Domino was not as rich as he once claimed, in fact they were living in the slums and Domino was in debt to the gangs. And Veda knew if Domino did not repay them then the gangs could possibly kill her, thus she sold her son into the gladiator business an Kadir never heard of them again.
Cataclysm
For so many years Kadir was furious with his mother, with everything that had happened to him, he was now a slave forced to kill in order to entertain. At first he did indeed hate it, but soon he enjoyed the victory, the glory, and he was well aware that he was good at it. Soon enough he became a superstar and he was surprised that his mother did not come around and claim that Cataclysm was her son. It is not like Kadir would even let her use him anyways, well not anymore. But everyone knows the sad tale of what killed Cataclysm it first started with the divorce with his wife and then the death of his daughter. But from that sorrow later came a hero...
The White Knight
The White Knight arose, the spectators who attended his first arrival was giving quite the startle and scared for they were curtained that Kadir Zinc was dead. Yes, Cataclysm was done for, but the White Knight had just been born, and he has brought with his a challenge Apollo could not refuse. It is what started all of the games, and it has the money flowing into Apollo's pockets, just what he wanted. And Kadir hopes to get what he wants, his chance to change the world, to prove a point, and to somehow make up for what he once was.
