Birthdate: October 309
Breed(s): Icelandic Sheepdog
Variant: Basal (NnT^Et^a)

Appearance

Height: 15'
Build: Stocky, athletic
Description:

With a thick, waterproof coat in ebony and ivory coloring, although Zipper isn't the largest dog on the block, he certainly makes up for it with character. With large, pointed ears that sand straight up and a tail that curls up to touch his back, he looks very much like a typical Icelandic Sheepdog. He has a boxy chest and a pointed, triangular face with sharp, needle-like teeth. His eyes are a brilliant greenish-yellow that seem to grow in intensity with how much electricity he has charged up in his body. Occasionally, his fur might spark, especially when he's wagging his tail, if he's currently holding a charge.

Important to note that Zip has a collar, along with a harness that he currently wears everywhere.

Personality

Skills: Treasure hunter, digger, knowledge of technology, curiosity, human-trained.

Abilities: After mutating, Zipper's body can store massive amounts of electricity, acting like a battery. His eyes have taken on a yellow glow, and if he has a lot of electricity stored up, they can act like a flashlight (though this makes it harder for himself to see). He can discharge the electricity at will, though it currently requires concentration for him to store electricity for any amount of time.

Description:

Zip is a dog of constant energy-- and that was before he was literally infused with electricity because of his mutations. He's a mouthy brat of a dog, and while he obeys human commands well, he's not one to shut up when someone tells him to. He's fiercely loyal with a one-track mind, despite being easily distracted. He's incredibly curious and always on the move, with a penchant for digging holes and chasing wildlife. Over all, he's a friendly pooch who-- much to his own surprise-- would kill to protect those he cares most about.

For now, he's a playful puppy of a dog.

Background:

Zipper doesn't really remember his family in the slightest-- he was purchased in Starlet, along side another dog as puppies. Although not his blood brother, Sammy is another Icelandic Sheepdog and basically the only family he really has. Their owner, a human named John, took them out into the wide world of the Canaria with his hoverbike. The pair learned how to scavenge and hunt from their human, quickly becoming quite the duo.

One day, however, something went horribly wrong when Zipper and Sammy were exploring an old laboratory. Zip doesn't remember much, only a loud explosion that had knocked him unconscious. When he awoke, he had strange powers and both his human and his brother were gone. Ever since, the young dog has been looking for them both, determined to reunite with his family.
