Description My entry for !

Nickname: Fizz (what he will go by in this OCT)

Alias: “Mr. A.W. Barqs” (for his business only)

Real name: n/a (he won’t say)

Age: 55 Earth years (middle-aged adult for his species)

Gender: Male

Species: n/a (fantasy species). The name can’t be pronounced or spelled. The closest translation would be something like “Dragon-Dog”. It is a mammalian species.

What was stolen: flash drive that contains client data and specs for a prototype roof tile

Abilities/Skills: heat-sensitive nose: can detect warm bodies nearby, also can detect heat prints left behind by warm blooded beings.

Strengths:

Razor sharp teeth and claws, that he knows very well how to use when fighting;.

Lightweight for his size, which makes him very quick and agile (but see “Weaknesses” below)

Hand-like paws (with only four digits) that enable him to climb, grasp, throw, type.

Long, prehensile tongue that can grab and hold things, almost like a bullwhip.

Weaknesses:

Lightweight for his size, due to a lighter bone structure. While this is also counts as a strengths(see above), it also means he can be easily knocked around and injured.

Suffers from a genetic condition that causes muscle cramps in his hind legs. They can be worked out, but the leg is left sore and weak for hours, giving him a slight limp. He is on medication for this condition.

His tongue. once it grabs hold of an opponent, and depending on how tightly wrapped it is, he can’t let go quickly, making it vulnerable to injury and hampers his other self-defenses.


Height: 28 inches/shoulder, roughly 3 feet overall (feet to ear tips). Roughly the height of a Great Dane.

Weight: 70 pounds

Personality: Taciturn, two or three words in a sentence is the norm for him, four or five words is downright chatty. Edit: He is, however, more talkative with his companion, Magenta.

Not very sociable; it’s not that he minds being around others, he just prefers not to mingle or chat (a “seen but not heard” mentality).

He usually regards others with an air of polite curiosity at first, then, after a while, polite indifference. He neither likes nor hates anyone for the most part. It is possible he could grow to hate someone, and then he’ll just act like that person don’t exist.

History: Came to live on Earth in order to avoid attending a gathering back home (something vaguely resembling a family reunion). He now runs an online company dealing in roof tiles. He conducts his business completely online, none of his clients or his employees are aware of his true nature. To them he is known simply as “Mr. A.W. Barqs”.

He resides in rural New England, in a refurbished underground missile silo.

Other:

Place of origin: N/A. Again, he won’t say, other than it’s
in the Western Hemisphere. Maybe. (and not necessarily
Earth’s western hemisphere)

Bi-lingual: speaks English and an unidentified
language, presumably his native tongue.

Locomotion: When walking or trotting, his gait
is similar to that of a dog, but when he wants to
move fast, he bounds (similar to a deer) rather
than runs.

Teeth: Fizz’s front teeth are large incisors that are fused
with the canines. A gap exists between them to allow his
tongue to pass through.

Friend(s): There is one being that he comes close to caring
about, and that’s his companion, Magenta. See her bio
here: [link] (though he'd never admit out loud, he's very fond of her. Sorta like a big brother, little sister kind of thing.)

Misc: Has recently taken up juggling as a hobby.

Likes:

-root beer (hence his nickname and alias)

-reading

-conducting online sales

-writing

-juggling

-grabbing food with his tongue

-tossing and catching food in mid-air (also with his tongue)

Dislikes:

-People grabbing his tongue

-leg cramps

-typos and misspellings

-losing things

-Rush Limbaugh.

Hates:

-crude jokes about his front teeth & tongue.

His alias name made me giggle. I found his likes and dislikes amusing as well. And I love that his business is something so random and yet commonplace like "roof tiles."

He has a great color scheme and I really like how vibrant you made his eyes.

Thanks! The rooftile thing was inspired while watching TV (originally he was going to be a proofreader or something like that).

And I love creating new color schemes, but his was tricky. He went through several color changes (and body type as well), before I was satisfied. Interestingly enough, his original design had him somewhat resembling a thylacine...

Dislikes: -Rush Limbaugh.
That made me laugh for some reason xD Probably cause it's just so random pfff

Really neat guy, though! I really love the design, especially the teeth and the feet. Color scheme is really fitting for him too.
Best of luck! C:

You should be familiar with this process, so let's jump right in shall we?

"lightweight for his size"
You'll have to clarify how this counts as a weakness, as it could just as well be interpreted as a strength.

"a sharp blow can cause him considerable pain"
This is something that is normal for all characters; everyone feels considerable pain from a sharp strike. Therefore it doesn't count as a weakness.

"loud noises can affect him"
Can you elaborate on how they affect him? Do they cause him to go temporarily deaf, cause headaches, etc?
