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. Landed at a compound there that would end up being my 'gilded cage' for nearly a year before they figured out I was quietly sabotaging the holo tech in different ways.

They had all rights to shoot me for it, but they chose to use me in a biomod experiment. Fated to a fate worse then death, or so they thought. The coin of fate landed on the edge just to give everyone the finger. They got their biomod, I kept my free will, putting it to very good use to break out. Looted the Drunken Dogfish from them and fled to space.

—Dakota

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.

Dakota tends to be a fairly-laid-back person with a long fuse on his temper.

Clothing and items

Baggy shorts of different colors, simple shirt with rolled up sleeves and a pair of highly modified sandals. Usually a belt or satchel of many pockets. A bag or two of Beggin' Strips.

Notes

  1. Which is most of the time considering how cramped a lot of fen places are. This has also led to a cold nose where it doesn't belong more then once and the resulting abuse inflicted upon his person.
