Shaz Aliart

Shaz Aliart in Chapter 6: The Beauty and the Beast

Shaz Aliart is a major character in Schwarzerblitz. With a selfish motivation and involvement with the mafia, Shaz goes his way to create various aliases for himself with the only thought of drinking good booze for cheap, if not free.

## In-game character profile

Quoted from his in-game profile:

> Alongside Go Ottari, Blade Aural, Delfina Hyaruno, and Feliz Harracido, Shaz Colder was created by RealLifeAnime in the early 2050s in order to star in an action show which should have replaced "The Princess of the Light Petals". He was an appointed member of a heroic fishmen team with the name of "Shaz the Sniper". The design of his suit was based on early cartoons of the '90s and he was equipped with two semi-automatic guns which could be loaded with a variety of different projectiles.
>
>
> The show bombed badly, leaving all the fishmen unemployed and ready to be dismissed. In these conditions, Go Ottari founded the Fishface Crime Syndicate and converted a ragtag bunch of misfits to one of the most powerful mobs in the United Kingdom.
>
>
> Shaz put on muscle mass and became well-known in the underworld by the name "Underwater". Donning his trademark exoskeleton diving suit, Underwater plundered and robbed the whole New Langdon for three years, before risking his life in a close encounter with detective Lorenz Kristhhoffer from New Scotland Yard in 2064, which ended up in a complete debacle.
>
>
> After risking being sliced to death in the aftermath, Shaz escaped from the Fishface base, taking away with him a consistent sum of money from the mob's caveau. He then proceeded to change aliases several times, being "Gaetano Trasimeno", "Chazz Aliart", "Chazz Colder” and "Shaz Aliart", even at the same time.
>
>
> In the eyes of a careless observer, despite being hunted down by his former colleagues, Shaz would seem to enjoy a sort of quiet life in New Langdon, as if Go forgot about his existence.
>
>
> In reality, he's forced to change his living place often, in order not to be tracked down, thus having to move from flat to flat every other month. The only two places in which he can enjoy relative peace are the strip club "Le Coq Heureux", due to the relative power of its owner, and the "Shooting Star Aquarium", because it's considered someway "sacred" by the mob members, since most of them were bought there before being turned into mutants.
>
>
>
> Nowadays, Shaz spends his life between these two places. His defeatism and resignation to the status-quo led him to become a serial drinker and to live the same monotonous yet dangerous routine every day, hoping for things to improve on their own.

## Appearance

Shaz is a genetically-modified anthropomorphic great white shark with a hyper-muscular build. His outfit consists of a peach shirt under a maroon leather jacket, jeans, black leather shoes, and a pair of sunglasses on his head.

## Fighting Style

With no proper martial arts training and a daily habit of drinking booze, Shaz's fighting style mainly consists of street brawling with no graceful movements and even a bit of tripping and headbutting, like any real drunkard would. He makes up for this with his large amount of muscle mass, allowing him to carry opponents with ease and armor through attacks.

## Quotes

* *"Can't say: I'm here for the booze, not for the boobs. Besides, I'm always dead drunk when the ladies show their skin. So, I've gotta really no clue*." - Shaz speaking with Renzo at Le Coq Heureux
* "*Bloody moonfish! Are ya tellin' me that Blade was having an affair ALSO with ya?!*" - Shaz talking to Elena
* "*The fact that I look like a dumb serial drinker DOES not mean that I don't know what I do. I drink to forget this shitty life of mine, deprived of hope and purpose. I drink because I'm a prisoner in this golden cage that I myself have built for me. What a pitiful joke, isn't it? But the joke's on you now, because who's speaking is not your friendly, dizzy neighbour Shaz. If you want to sell me so badly to Go, you'll have to face Underwater.*"
