dixon albatroz (vrooms; info) usually goes by dix. he's 27, been the pilot of the b52 since '66, and despite being good at what he does his personality tends to get in the way of any positive acknowledgement. he's pretty apathetic and devil may care, so he's used to being an obnoxious little shit for kicks. people who are especially savvy would know he's zackary kim, son of the family that owns intersteller inc, a top brand vehicle company in mars. which means he's the elder brother of star (starspeeder). he grew up in mars and was in the street racing scene for a few years before he joined the rac too!
he and alex might know of each other but may or may not get along depending on alex's level of patience for dix's shenanigans, otherwise dix thinks he's a swell dude. he and cyrus probably have the most plot going on. both sons of families that manage major mars-based conglomerates, grew up on mars, similar ages, overlapped at least a year during rac training (and maybe even mars university, dix went for a business major for two years before dropping out at 20). they could've known each other for a while?? and dix is a huge pain in castor's ass, but also raced on mars from '59 - '64 so if that overlapped then he could know zane through that too.
