Identities

Public: Rocket Racoon

Secret: 89P13

Background: An Overview

89P13: originally a raccoon that was recovered by scientists and brought to Halfworld where he was genetically and cybernetically modified and enhanced, resulting in sentient intelligence. His job, and the other animals that were so modified, was to provide companionship to human psych patients. Once escaping from Halfworld, Rocket, as he started calling himself, became a mercenary and found himself afoul of the law many, many, many times. (His specialty seems to be escaping from prison.)

Along his travels, Rocket paired up with Groot, and so began a partnership for the ages. Rocket is the only creature that can actually understand Groot, as the 'flora colossus' can only say 'I am Groot'. The duo continued on the path of mercenary work, though some might say that he is something of a softie. (They were hired to secure a package that ended up being a family of sentient snail-like creatures and decided to 'go with the highest bid' as it were. These molluscs paid double for the double-crossing. Thus they were rescued by Rocket and Groot.)

Since then, he's traveled the galaxy with friends picked up along the way (and in some cases, dropped off again!). Now, however, he's found himself on a stupid rock, thanks to a wrong, well, we'll call it 'turn'. As in poker. One day, he'll learn when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em…

Powers

Raccoon Physiology
Rocket is very much like an Earth raccoon in that he's got a heightened sense of smell and keen eyesight. His enhanced sense of smell allows him to detect changes in scent and scent patterns, also allowing him to function easily in darkness. His vision allows him to see better than the average human at night, though he cannot see in pitch black; there has to be some light source, no matter how dim. He also has a good fur coat that serves as insulation against the cold. His ears allow him to perceive sounds that are out of a human's spectrum, and his sensitive paws allow him to detect vibrations on the ground and identify objects (magic or normal?) without having to touch it first.

Enhanced Durability
Rocket takes a licking and keeps on ticking. He's been able to survive blasts from explosions, getting thrown around; that's not to say, however, that he's impossible to kill.

Enhanced Strength
Rocket is surprisingly strong for his size and appearance. He can actually overpower people many times his size, and wield large guns that average sized humans would have some difficulty with.

Skills

Marksman
Rocket is more than capable using high powered firearms, even given his smaller frame, regardless of provenance. He's got a keen eye and an easy willingness to use them.

Tactics and Strategy
Rocket is able to make battle strategies, and his sense allows him to alter plans to fit the ever changing need of the situation. Improvise and survive. Rocket can take a weak position and with a little finessing, can turn it to advantage.

Martial arts
Rocket is an expert in hand to hand combat; his survival has always depended on it. With each fighting style he comes across, he adapts and learns from it. Besides, who expects to have their butt handed to them by a raccoon?

Pilot
Rocket was cybernetically engineered to pilot nearly any spaceship that he jumps in to. There may be something of a learning curve, but… it works out in the end. He does consider himself to be 'the best'.

Resources

Weapons
Rocket keeps his weapons on him; they fold up so tightly that it's almost impossible to detect on the little guy…. until he whips them out and points them at his target.

Groot
Rocket has a best friend by the name of Groot (NPC). Rocket has been through thick and thin with his buddy, and ultimately, no one knows him better than Rocket. (He can even translate Groot-speak with everyone else.) Groot is a tree-based form of life. He stands head and shoulders above most average sized humans, and has a face, arms and legs. He can extend his branches and roots to control crowds or to kill by piercing. He can also create thicket 'shields' to prevent arms fire from breaking through immediately. He has the ability to re-grow arms and legs. He is, however, only a 'tree' and can be killed. (From branches, however, can be grown new 'Groots' that carry the same memory as the elder.)

Pros

Always landing on his feet
Rocket is a raccoon that somehow comes out, while not always a winner in the end, he at least comes out alive and able to accomplish what he needs to. It may take time, but he usually is successful.

Cons

Outsider
Rocket is a product of genetic and cybernetic engineering. He remembers everything that happened to him to make him who and what he is today. He is very aware that there are truly none like him, and it's a reminder to him whenever he watches the interactions of others in their day to days.
