Description:
His fur is mostly black, but with white streaks that travel from his nose across his face and down his back to the end of his tail, leaving black stripes over his eyes. His chest and stomach is also white, with a grey fade as it meets the black fur. His eyes are light blue, and he has a scar that goes across his right eye, barely visible unless you are close. He's strong, but less than average for a badger, and more slender as well.

His real strength is his mind, with expertise in computers and technology, firearms, and is skilled in hand-to-hand. He can hack into servers, radio signals, and many other things. He often wears short-sleeved shirts with a grey zipper jacket, but wears his tactical vest whenever he is on duty, whether necessary or not. The only other thing most anyone catches him wearing is dark blue or black jeans or the cargo pants from his SWAT uniform.

Personality:
He is mostly an introvert, but he does like meeting new people every now and then. However, if he hangs around people for little too long without time to himself, he may begin to get detached. He believes alone time helps him keep his sanity. He does a good job keeping his emotions inside, but the friends he’s known for a long time have learned to identify if he’s having issues. He’s not that big on music, but the small list of songs he does like, he listens to often. He is very friendly, and regardless if he likes you or not, will keep you safe at all costs, physically and emotionally. Overall, he is friendly, protective of others, and is never afraid to talk to anyone.

Likes:
- Hanging out with friends
- Playing games, specifically shooters
- Writing stories (only a few are allowed to see)
- Getting the job done right
- Shotguns (cause who doesn’t love shotguns? )


Dislikes:
- People questioning his better judgement
- Helmets
- Being ignored
- Arguments (especially over dumb things)
- Prejudice and Speciesism/Racism


Additional Notes:
- A common misconception is that he is a honey badger, when he is in fact a European/b> badger. The markings are the biggest difference between European badgers and honey badgers.
