[Character] Moon Dog

[Certified]

I don't know why but I wanted to do a military veteran superhero. The pieces from the setting were there so I decided to build on what I had already written. BTW he is a shapeshifter without Multi-Form, please for me. The idea was the two bodies were intrinsically linked so as the character let himself go the The Mutt (His shifted form also did not fare as well.) Hope you enjoy and I look forward you the comments.

Character Information

Height: 1.88 m Hair: Brown

Weight: 107.00 kg Eyes: Blue

 

Appearance: Moon Dog often wears an old denim jacket and pants with a plain cotton shirt. Unkempt hair and shaggy beard frame deep blue eyes that seem to bubble up from pool of knowledge.

 

Background: Greg Tanner, born to one of the original survivors of Kaiser Box, his fate was virtually sealed at birth. Although Greg’s father never showed signs of Mutation his sons alterations became apparent early on. Greg’s earliest memories are of playing solder with his father and listening to stories from the war. Hearing the stories about American Armor and the US7 that were never in the history books crafted dreams of one day joining the service.

 

When power first began to show itself Greg was only thirteen. Back then the Mutt was only a whelp but neither he nor his dad could be happier. After school Greg and his father trained almost every day learning the scope of his transformation. It was during this time he took on the name Moon Dog as they learned he shared weaknesses with the mythical werewolves.

 

At eighteen Greg enlisted and was quickly recruited into a specialist Metahuman Division. For years he served showing his worth at every turn. In 1958 he first met a new Metahuman recruit by the name of Richter. They would serve together for the next six years. Most notably during the Bay of Pigs offensive and then latter during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

 

However, as troop numbers continued to rise amidst growing concerns Moon Dog could no longer serve unquestioningly. Torn by indecision he could not bring himself to reenlist. News and radio exploded with various theories as to his reasons for choosing to leave. Activist groups rallied behind the act as a sign that even the faithful Metahumans could no longer stand behind the governments actions in Vietnam. Hardliners decried Moon Dog as a traitor and communist sympathizer.

 

Doubt was the only word that could describe his motives for leaving. After his release Moon Dog attempted to contact his father. The last word he ever spoke to his son was Faggot.

 

Disconnected from everything he had known Moon Dog drifted for over a year. Helping out where he could the minor victories he found could not heal the pain of his father’s disappointment. Moon Dog found himself traveling with other drifters for a time, the allure of the growing counter culture calling to him. It was hard to away from a new the sense of belonging until the Washington rally in 65�. The people had spent over a year traveling with used him. They spotlighted Moon Dog calling him an example of a real American, one who knew injustice and could fight against it. It was Moon Dog’s doubt that forced him to leave he had never intended to a celebrity or force his doubt on others.

 

Before Moon Dog could speak the rally was interrupted. A Metahuman with the power of flight and using advanced battle gauntlets to harness the power of the sun attacked. Calling himself War Eagle he targeted Moon Dog wanting to put an end to the growing communist sympathizers in the country. Without question he defended the protesters defeating War Eagle.

 

After that Moon Dog dropped out of sight. Not wanting to cause anyone harm he avoided contact all tighter. Over the next few years Moon Dog spent most of his time wandering although he had been known to help when people needed it. When the war ended in 74� he tried to settle down. Using his real name Greg attended a community collage in OklahomaState becoming a certified veterinarian.

 

Since returning to society he has fought with War Eagle on multiple occasions often during times of war. The irony to this is that Moon Dog has also been called back by the Army of several occasions. Often for reconnaissance in regions to heated to send normal troops. Moon Dog has seen the jungles of three continents. However, the military has been discreet in redeploying Moon Dog and extremely selective when choosing to use him.

 

Twelve years ago Moon Dog has started a preserve for unwanted animals in New Mexico. He spends most of his days out with the animals as the Mutt. He says it keeps him young. Also, from time to time Richter has called on him to help train potential members of the Xeno Consortium as well as commiserate over old times.

 

Moon Dog is not the fighter he once was but the old dog has some life left in him. More than once in recent years he’s found himself back to back with Richter and the other members of the Xeno Consortium helping to defend the country and people he has loved.
