EZERA
LIFE IS A CABARET...and then you wake up wearing someone elses' knickers.
STATISTICS
NAME EZERA NOMADIA (Stage name) | EZERA BAADER (Ez-er-a Bay-der)
AGEEARLY THIRTIES.
PB Kate Perry (2016-), Rachel Brice (previous)
TYPE Totally human OC.
HEIGHT 5'8"
BUILD Slender dancer’s build w/strong core, lean muscle, small waist, defined upper arms, but, alas, no booty.
HAIR Constantly changing. Natural black-brown hair. Prone to wigs, hair accruements, and hair dye.
EYES Naturally blue but has a growing collection of contacts.
THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE
The insane amount of clunky silver bangles on her arms. The tattoo curling around her hip. The infectious laugh. Her outgoing personality (she is eccentric). And then, her ability to disarm and befriend. Her antics.
ABILITIES & SKILLS
DANCEBurlesque, Bellydance (Fusion), Aerial dance (pole, swing, hoop, hammock, silks), contemporary (lyrical), jazz, balletPERFORMANCE ARTSCabaret theater, vocalist (Alto), stage performer, actor, writes music, plays guitar and violin but can't play the piano well. She teaches classes in dance, vocal, small theater management, yoga. She is the Creative Director and co-owner of the Katakomb Kabaret in San Franscisco (or New York, depending where RP is being played). She performs on-stage regularly at the cabaret. Her productions are edgy and elegant, political and comedic but always pushing the boundaries.ACTIVISMPassionate about animals rights, human rights, grassroots activism, community building. She is starting to develop a strong personal cause around police brutality and corruption because of her past (and current) experiance with the police and judicial system. Still tentative but likely to develop very strong victim services advocacy passions in the future.HUMANITARIANISM"I may have occasionally hid some activists and others in my club when the police were looking for them. No major whoop, darling. They were all innocent-ish mischief makers."
CURRENT INFORMATION
"You can call me a Cabaret Culture Diva on the brink of extinction. Like most people walking on this rock hurtling through space, I am an unfinished masterpiece. My goal is to be worth more dead than alive. Like Van Gogh but with nicer ears to cut off to send to former friends."
Ezera recently got her club, the Katakomb Kabaret (KK), back from a shady co-owner/family friend who is part of a criminal syndicate that was run by Ezera's late father. As the Creative Director of the KK she is responsible for the productions and events that the club puts on. Over the last few years, she has polished up the acts in the club and her own dance style in order to draw a bigger crowd. It's the place to be now and she gets a lot of press (and police attention). However, underneath it all she's on an mission to take over all of the syndicate's clubs and help free the trafficked women that are working there. She quite dancing (publicly), created a "mafia princess" image based on an ugly truth and started to infiltrate the dark underbelly of New York City's entertainment industry by appearing to take her father's place.
Concept: Think modern day polished up Berlin cabaret--political satire, comedy, performance art, aerial, dance, jazz, chanteuse, burlesque. Vintage. Old time glamour. Classic cocktails. Dissent. And organized crime.
PERSONALITY
EZERA has a warm personality and generally tries to find the good in all people and situations. While some might call her naive and eccentric, she chooses to look at the good and the potential in people. She looks for the bright side while making the best out of bad situations. She believes that life is meant to be lived to the fullest every day, one is not meant to take themselves too seriously and that by helping others in need, you make positive changes in their lives that ripple throughout society. She likes the saying that "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". Her worldview is the result of family tragedy and an assault that she survived that made her realize that life was short and that anyone could be snuffed out of existence at any time with one snap of life's fingers. Therefore she has a very, 'do it, do it now, do not delay' mentality. Another aspect of Ezera's personality as a result of her incident is that she truly wants people to achieve their goals, stand up for what they want and believe in, and be their best selves. And she'll be there to drag her friends kicking and screaming in that direction if they want to or not. In that way, Ezera can be pushy and annoying, especially because what thinks they want and what they really want might not always align. Because she also has very little shame and few reservations (and lacks a filter on that mouth), she doesn't always realize that her friends might be uncomfortable or embarrassed by the antics that she puts them through in her attempt to have everyone have a good time and "help" push past their limiting inhibitions, fears, and self-sabotaging mechanisms. Who was Ezera before the assault? Now that was a different Ezera, one that enjoyed the cabaret lifestyle a bit too much and living too fast to numb the feelings she couldn't sort then. But who are we if not the composites of all of our life changes, darling? Ezera is loyal, forgiving, humorous, positive, affectionate, eccentric, supportive, creative, impulsive, passionate, caring, nosy, generous, empathic, conscientious, short-sighted, spirited.
APPEARANCE & OTHER DEETS
Ezera never really looks the same. She changes hair color and wigs as often as she does her knickers. She's fashion conscience and mixes different styles to come up with a quirky artistic style. Her favorite show is Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (and she has huge crush on Inspector Jack Robinson) and she loves traveling, oddities and Voodoo Jazz (yes, that's a thing). She also loves vintage clothes, prohibition era artisanal drinks, jazz music from the 1920s, cabaret history, pop music, fishnet stockings, incense, candles, combat boots, oddities, walking barefoot. And she'd murder for a good cup of Earl Grey tea (well, no, obviously). She dislikes close minded people and thinks that an unlived life is one of the worst things that one can choose for themselves.

THE PAST SHAPES US
Ezera has a pretty colorful family history and will talk about it forever if you let her. Her father owned the Katacomb Kabaret, one of the most famous original cabarets in Berlin. It was inherited from his father before him, who was not only famous period but famous for his political comedies that were part of the cabaret culture of the time. However, the can you believe it, ze Nazi's didn't quite have the greatest sense of humor and by offending the party he got a ride on the KZ Esterwegen. And yes, before you ask, Cabaret, the Broadway show and movie? Was totally inspired by the Katacomb Kabaret during that period in history and she's happy to rehash it for you with a song and a dance (literally). Ezra’s father was also very politically active against the Communist regime and often got in trouble for trying to ‘stick it to the man’. Well, the ‘man’ sent the Stasi after him and a young officer who Ezera only knew later and only as “Emcee”. Her father spent a month in some detention center, which is a nice way of saying ‘crap hole of the earth’. Emcee kept interrogating him about his political activities. Somewhere along the way though, they got to know one another and worked out a deal—Emcee would help Ezera’s father escape and her father, in turn, would help Emcee vanish from a life he hated in the Stasi. Apparently, Emcee was already in hot water for acting against the sexual offenses act. Ezera’s mom helped her husband hide away political exiles, journalists who got cheeky, and other people who spoke out against the regime. They hid Emcee away until the trouble passed and then, a year later, Emcee started working in the club. Fast forward now-- the wall is closing in on Emcee again but the Berlin wall is also coming down. Ezera’s parents and Emcee, now a good family friend, decide to leave. Decide to leave the cabaret behind to get away from a security apparatus that was cleaning up its mess while it bled out. They started a new cabaret in San Francisco, which Ezera helped run through the years. One day while taking out the garbage, Ezera’s father is killed by muggers with guns. Emcee and Ezera’s mother continued to run the club in his honor, while Ezera struggles to come to grips with what happened to him. To her mother's dismay, she starts to take an active interest in being an activist and humanitarian like her father and gets herself into a lot of different types of trouble. Ezera also starts working in other clubs, some that were quite dodgy. Ezera manages to graduate from college (BA, Dance Ethnology) and she is gone to the wind, traveling the world, teaching dance workshops, yoga and doing whatever she has to in order to make ends meet. One night, she gets a frantic and odd call from her mother basically warning her about Emcee. Three days later, her mother was dead and Ezera returned to California to tie up loose ends. To her dismay, she did not fully own the club, as expected, and Emcee had somehow gotten himself written into the will. Ezera fought it legally but, that only made matters worse. Ezera has been trying to slowly find out the truth, now suspecting Emcee of some much darker ambitions and crimes but never having the evidence to prove it.
