Description
This is supposed to be a surprise for . Recently I became inspired to create a 2nd Road Rover OC, only this time another mutate creation of MDT's Dr. Psycho.
Originally I couldn't think of a name for this character and asked my viewers for suggestions, and came up with the name "Raptor". I realized that I wanted my OC to have a name that started with an "R", and "Raptor", which means "Bird of Prey", seemed perfect for this guy.
So Raptor he is, and Raptor he will stay. *HOWEVER*, this guy also has several aliases (some of your guys' suggestions were too good to let go), which are: Swindle, Blazer, King, Aero, Hurricane, Typhoon, and Swift.
Now here is some info on Raptor's background and skills:
While searching for more 'special' animals to mutate, Dr. Psycho came across a magnificent-looking white-tailed eagle from Eurasia. Now although Psycho normally tries to make his creations as things of beauty and of the upmost skill, he only succeeded where the beauty was concerned. Though tall (about 6'6"), very strong and agile, Raptor's not nearly as strong or skilled as Geist, Prowl and Sheng-Long. Not only that, but he quickly grew tired of following along with Geist's quest for vengeance against the human race and decided that he would be much better off on his own, and so deserted.
Unlike the others, Raptor's desires are not for revenge or sport, but for wealth and power, which takes him down the road of burglary and pulling cons (thus his many aliases). Therefore, he is not as serious a threat as the Terrible Trio are, but a villain nonetheless. And yet, Raptor will ally himself with the Rovers because he's clever enough to realize that they are more merciful than Geist, and helping them would reap more benefits for him. But, given that he's a coward (and an even bigger one than Blitz), Raptor is not one to be relied on during these shaky alliances.
Although he is a skilled fighter, Raptor actually relies more on the gadgets and tools in his belt (and sleeves and boots) more often, so that as soon as he runs out of them, he usually crumbles with fear in front of his enemy. But half the time, even then he still has one last trick up his sleeve in order to insure his escape.

Yep. Just seemed fitting.
But due to his being a part-time thief and part-time con-man (bird?) he uses several aliases, including the names you suggested.

Pronunciation: Air-ro.
It's just the shortened abbreviation as used in "aerodynamics" and "Aerobilities".

Cool! Another OC! And just as sexy as Roger!
I love his outfit because it exposes his muscles, especially his abs.
Too bad he's a bad guy. Come to think of it, he and my new OC might be good friends.
Does he take pride in his muscles and good looks?
Excellent character design. May I suggest drawing him and Roger together?
Names that came in mind for his are: Blazer, Raptor, and King.

Hahah, thank you! Hehe, awww, thank you, Roger's incredibly flattered by your kind words!
Heh-heh, though yeah, I love his outfit too. No way am I going to leave his abs all covered up. Rofl! Well, he might be a bad guy, but he can also be an occasional ally (but only when it suits him; and even then, you still can't turn your back on him).
Well of course he takes pride in his looks! How could he not?
But thank you again!
Yeah, I probably will end up drawing them together.
Hm, I kinda like "Blazer" and "Raptor", though not sure about King...
..."Raptor" is kind've growing on me, though.

Cool, I like Roger.
Yes, a character like doesn't need to cover those nice abs. Why hide them? I imagine he was hatched from an egg?
I thought of Blazer because of an eagles speed, Raptor for Bird of Prey, and King because eagles are often referred to royalty.

Heh-heh, well said. Of course he hatched from an egg, silly. He started off as a regular bird, just like how the rest started off as regular animals! X)
Cool.

I just noticed too that you chose the 'Raptor' name.

MetalExveemon In reply to ToonTorment [2013-12-24 05:16:51 +0000 UTC]
Nope. This causes some problems for him, such as when he's thrown out of an airplane (a scene inspired from when Falcone was thrown out of his plane by Dragonis). But he ends up finding other ways to fly, and not just with airplanes; also with jetpacks and the like.
Although I am thinking about having him go on a search to find a mutation that'll give him wings on his pack so he'll be able to fly like he did before, only the mutation goes wrong...

Whoa! Damn that's a pretty awesome looking character! You know who he kind of reminds me of? He reminds me a little of Beakwood from Wild Knights Gulkeeva. He was an eagle. But I guess this character kind of looks like a cross between Griff and Raven from Gargoyles. I love his attire, dude! His body armor kind of looks like Lobo's chest armor. Great job on the overall design though. Hmmm... So you haven't come up with a name for him? What country is he from? How about we name him "Hurricane" or "Typhoon".

Actually, I just looked up some eagle species, and came across the white-tailed eagle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-ta… So far that seems the best one to base my OC off of.

MetalExveemon In reply to MDTartist83 [2013-12-23 20:43:04 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Thank you very very much!
*hug* Hm, I'm not familiar with Beakwood, but actually, no, he's not a cross of Griff and Raven. Rather, I based his design off of Falcone from "Mighty Ducks" and one of the many forms of Ben 10 from "Ben 10: Omniverse" (if you're not familiar with that show, its about a kid who can take on the form of several different creatures in order to fight evil; one of his forms is an eagle-like creature who wears a black speedo
Of course, he has other forms that wear speedos as well
).
And I knew you'd love his attire!
It was so much fun to come up with, although I'm still not entirely certain if I have the proper colors for him. At first I thought about having him in green, except Ben 10's eagle form also wore green (plus Prowl is green, and I doubt Psycho would want to repeat himself), and red was also out of the question because Falcone also wore red, and black would have made him look too hardcore, so blue seemed like the only choice left.
Only I wonder if I chose all the right shades, though? What do you think?
As for what country he's from, I haven't decided. I suppose he could be from America, though I suppose I'll have to do a bit of research on eagles to see which ones he looks like the most. I do like the names "Hurricane" and "Typhoon", only I'm not sure they fit his personality. Those names seem more fitting for characters who are hardcore warriors, whereas this guy is more like an occasionally sissy villain (if you think Blitz is a coward, get a load of this guy when he's cornered
).

MDTartist83 In reply to MetalExveemon [2013-12-23 21:16:07 +0000 UTC]
Oh yes, I'm definitely familiar with Mighty Ducks. That show aired in the same year as Road Rovers. And I'm definitely familiar with Ben 10. I may not have talked about that show a lot. But I've opened up to it. I think it's greatly entertaining. And yes, I saw the forms where he wears speedos. Oh, and interesting background and personality. So he's a coward, eh?
Hah. Yeah, you got me there. I think you chose his colors well. The bright blue colors give off a nice feel to him. Hmmm... Yeah, I guess we could have him from America although Eagles can come from pretty much everywhere. Though they are found mostly in the United States, Canada, Central America, and South America. Prowl is from Brazil, Sheng-Long is from China, and Vlad is from the North Pole. What color are his briefs? Is it black or an indigo blue? Because I'm having trouble telling. Yeah, I guess those two names I suggested makes him sound too powerful. Maybe a name like "Swindle" would do.

MetalExveemon In reply to MDTartist83 [2013-12-23 21:23:35 +0000 UTC]
Yep, good.
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like his background/personality. Heh-heh, yeah, that's how he came out when I imagined him. I guess he's kind've like a representation of how Blitz would be if he were a villain (we both know that Blitz has been depicted as villain sometimes in fanfics; I guess my OC is meant to sort've poke fun at that; plus I can imagine a few funny scenes where the eagle is begging for his life, and Blitz has a hyprocritical moment and goes, "Yeesh, what a whiner. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to sell out his own mother!"
).
Really? Thank you! Heh, sorry about his briefs; they're meant to be a very very dark dark blue.
Maybe I can make them a little lighter or something.
"Swindle"... maybe. It does suit him. Maybe this can be an alias of his when he splits from Geist and becomes a thief/con-artist.

MDTartist83 In reply to MetalExveemon [2013-12-23 21:31:54 +0000 UTC]
No problem.
Yeah, his personality and background gives off the impression that he's more of a thief and a con-artist than a warrior/assassin. But I like that though. It's good to have some variety. Indeed, he does seem like a representation of how Blitz would be if he were a villain. Hah! That's funny! Indeed, that would be hypocritical! But hilarious at the same time!
You're welcome. And don't apologize. It's cool. I can see it now. Yeah, I was thinking "Swindle" would be appropriate since it means to obtain by fraud or deceit, or to cheat someone with deception for money or whatever desires comes to mind. Just trying to help is all.

MetalExveemon In reply to MDTartist83 [2013-12-23 21:42:47 +0000 UTC]
Oh yeah, definitely. Heh-heh, he's also kinda like Shag in that sense too: Originally Shepherd wanted all of his Rovers to be warriors/heroes, but Shag... well, 4 out of 5 isn't so bad.
The same can be said with Psycho wanting all of his creations being assassins and such, but this guy... well, 4 out of 5 isn't so bad. Lol...
Heh-heh, yeah, thanks! Glad you think it's funny.
And I appreciate that help, very much. After all, I did ask for help in naming him.
But yeah, I think will have "Swindle" be an alias he uses on one occasion or another, because I can see him being all dramatic like that.

Amazing character. Now I know he abandoned Geist's quest for vengeance and world, branded him as a foe to him and his fellow evil mutants, but one question to Road Rover's point of view: is he friend or foe or both?

MetalExveemon In reply to DragonSnake9989 [2013-12-23 20:36:55 +0000 UTC]
Thank you very much!
Yes, Geist would most likely view him as a traitor/deserter/enemy, but it's a little bit more hard to say with the Rovers: they realize he's an enemy and shouldn't be trusted, except he's proven to be rather helpful at times. So I guess they'd view him as both: a foe who can sometimes act as a friend - but you must *NEVER* turn your back on him.
