SECONDARIES 

Name: Ozal

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Appearance: 

Relationships: Ozal owns the main bar in Silverrock Town, creatively named Ozal's. He cultivates a decent relationship with the majority of the townsfolk, as long as they are the drinking-and-debauchery type. Asceticism and deprivation is something he doesn't tolerate, and if you're not buying, you're flying. He also has a few off island contacts that he uses to bring in specialty items, and has ties to a small black market trade around the island. If you need something less than legal, Ozal can probably get it, although it's not going to be cheap.

Profession(s): Bartender, Fence, Gambler

History: Ozal came with the original mining operation, hoping to take advantage of an untapped market for huge profits. Unfortunately, the silver veins ran out just as he finished establishing his bar, and he was stuck owning property in a rapidly deserting island. As a typical Ferengi however, he relentlessly pursued profit by using his natural business acumen and charm to cultivate relationships with some of the less reputable merchants and visitors who couldn't or wouldn't dock closer to Costa Del Sol. He runs the bar like any good business; the cheap stuff is alright, but anything better is going to cost you - and that's not just the drinks. He also has a few table games available for those that love gambling, although he doesn't let anyone look too closely at those Dabo wheels....

After the Imperial Navy retook Silverrock and Windfall Island, Ozal was kicked out on his behind after being compensated for the loss of his bar. He migrated back to Costa del Sol, serving as ship's cook on a variety of sailing vessels. He had a few adventures before returning to Costa del Sol, and integrating himself fully into the tourism business. Currently, he runs a number of small shops along the boardwalk.

Possessions: 
Ozal's Bar and Casino - A spacious three story bar and grill, with a gambling floor available. There is a respectable selection of food and drink from most of the Omniverse, but you're not going to find Klopkaan Berry Schnapps from the Tangled Green every day. He lives in the attic above the gaming floor, but can almost always be found on the ground level bar, serving drinks and chatting with customers. REPOSSESSED BY ORDER OF THE IMPERIAL NAVY

Ozal-porium, LLC - Ozal is not one to let the loss of his entire livelihood set him back, and with his economic skills, made enough money to reinvest in a series of start up enterprises. Most of them are beachfront tourism shops, but he also has joint ownership in one of Costa del Sol's burgeoning bistros. Most of the beach properties retain their original names, with the addition of his name shoehorned in.

Ferengi Disrupter Pistol - A phased Tetryon Beam weapon, Ozal keeps this beneath the bar for "peacekeeping". It has variable settings, from "Stun" to "Carbonize".

Powers & Abilities: 

Quad Lobed Brain - As a member of the Ferengi race, Ozal's four lobed brain renders him highly resistant to telepathy and mind reading.

Ferengi Cunning - Ferengi are supremely adept at persuasion, deal brokering, and anything to do woth profit. More than once, Ozal has been able to use his smarts and acumen to turn a crossbow in the face into a sack of gold.
