{{quote|I worked for the Boskonians and not by choice. How does one end up a unwilling boskonian? In my case it was the wrong sort of people taking notice of me. This was right after the launch of Grover's Corners I didn't have easy access to a vehicle to convert into a spacecraft. So I started quietly shopping around for a ride up with the holo tech I'd been working on. Got a 'great' offer, only to find out my error when I was already halfway to South America.

'''Description'''
  
Dakota's biomod is that of a eight-foot-tall werewolf (thankfully not the big ugly teeth filled snarl Hollywood horror type). He's forced to hunch over in most places in fenspace to avoid smacking his head on things do to his height. His arms are slightly elongated with his legs being slightly shorter to bring both nearly the same length. This is combined with a elongated torso to let him move along on all fours. He retained his long hair from when he was human; it's pulled back into a loose ponytail.

Seven feet and six inches blend of a American Pit Bull Terrier and Smilodon. With a blue piebald merle on white base fur. Mane of white hair fur is usually pulled back into a loose pony tail. Most people peg on the colors and ears at first glance. In reality he can be classified as a near classic Joker-Ace type biomod as he's a limited shape shifter with his nature resting form being a feral(Chatro) of his bipedal appearance. Chatro form to use terms from the World of Darkness Fen. Basically he screwed up by the numbers by paying more attention to his worgen druid in Warcraft then the setup for his biomod. Dumping more files then intended into the wave mix.

Description

Seven feet and six inches blend of a American Pit Bull Terrier and Smilodon. With a blue piebald merle on white base fur. Mane of white hair fur is usually pulled back into a loose pony tail. Most people peg on the colors and ears at first glance. In reality he can be classified as a near classic Joker-Ace type biomod as he's a limited shape shifter with his nature resting form being a feral(Chatro) of his bipedal appearance. Chatro form to use terms from the World of Darkness Fen. Basically he screwed up by the numbers by paying more attention to his worgen druid in Warcraft then the setup for his biomod. Dumping more files then intended into the wave mix.


With Wave-tech, Dakota is a Jack-of-All, Master-of-None. Holo tech being the exception.[1]


He has a interest in a lot of things, being what most would call a Generalist. This results in him being willing to draw on a dozen different sources for material.

Biomod

Dakota was one of the early adopters of handwavium. He wasn't driven to seek space or build a flying car like most Fen. Finding over the years that his most reliable wavetechs being Holo projector systems and the fabber system he built with the capital from quietly selling said projectors. He would have cheerfully stayed 'daneside despite repeated offers from some of his contacts. If it wasn't for a drunk driver t-boning the SUV he was driving and leaving him half crippled.

Dakota did not let that stop him. Drawing on his years of wave experience and do the one thing he's managed to avoid. Biomod "repair" himself with the wave and purpose built pieces of prosthesis. What he ended up modded into wasn't intended. For all his caution with the wave this was the one time he screwed up by the numbers, but not much he can do about that. Then tapping his contacts to assist in his escape from the US.

Notable Mundane Attributes

Artist: passable 2D artist, not half bad 3D artist.

Cook: passable cook

Gamer: Former MMO and sandbox game junkie

Holo Artist: Had a knack for building holograms and getting the wave to produce holo projectors before his biomod.


Handwavium Abilities

Dance little photons! Dance I say! DANCE!: Very good hologram device builder and artist on the level most require a blue hair/fur day for.

There's my Ace Dakota has a rather powerful regenerative abilities from his biomod at the cost of having to eat a lot of food after wards.

Dat Nose!: Has a very good sense of smell.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger While not a match for very high end cyber mods. He can and does spar with a number on their terms.[5]

Nose to the wind Dakota's bone structure shifts, allowing him to drop to all fours and move. Hands shifting to be more paw-like but still letting him pick things up with reduced dexterity.


Quirks

Foo Dog - Driven to protect Fenkinder and temples if they are in danger. His tail manifests a blue glowing nimbus around the tip. Another glowing nimbus forms along his neck ruff as his eyes glow brightly.

Sam Fisher - When lurking in dark areas his eyes glow blue. The darker the area, the brighter the glow.

There's my Joker - Tends to default to his Chatro appearance if he doesn't take a active role in keeping himself in his Crinos form.

The walls man! They be pushing in! - Suffers from a urge to go Chatro and run free for hours. A urge that grows stronger over time until he does so. One of the main reasons he stayed at Kandor City for as long as he has.


Feral Quirks

Cloth Shreds - Anything other then really simple waved clothing is reduced to shreds when he shifts. Simple, wave treated, clothing somehow is absorbed by his body when shifting to Feral. Though still wearing the clothing when shifting back to Bipedal isn't always guaranteed.[6]

That's not meant to do that. - Shifting is uncomfortable when doing it slowly, fast is outright painful. It's also energy intense to do.


Mundane Quirks

Scoobie Snacks - Dakota maintains a bag of high energy containing, bacon flavored, snacks on his person at all times.

That won't fit - Has to have custom clothing and gear made for his frame.

My! you're a tall one. - Yes he is tall, but this just means his forehead tends to meet a lot of ceiling based obstructions when he's distracted.

Cold nose! - Crowds and being in Feral form doesn't always work out. More so with the high number of people wearing skirts.

Trivia

Owns and runs Holo Neon in Kandor City.

Works part time for the Kandor City Police Department both as a 'K9' unit and SWAT. Kandor City Police Department

Keel owner of the Lunar Fox

Considers Vanessa Darkblade to be a sister from another family

Notes

  1. Even then the Trekkies can match his efforts through shear numbers of people working together.
  2. The Flex Circuit wave mix that makes all three of his worn devices possible is kept close to his chest. He will share it with any AI that asks.
  3. He gets needled for being armed with something that has more power then a .357. At least by those who know what a 10mm Auto is besides sounding bigger then a 9mm.
  4. Rumors abound that he has high explosive rounds under lock and key. Reality is that he actually has shaped charge rounds for anti-power armor purposes.
  5. The lack of resilience do to still being a fleshy has caught up to him more then once.
  6. He has actually had then appear next to him neatly folded or reappearing inside out.
