Not because I was tagged... but because I'm bored.
So here are 9 more facts about one of my characters. This time I choose my oldest and most wildly developed character, Landslide. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3810335/
#1 Landslide is a big GEEK. In the last attempt I made at writing a novel he got there because he was a getwaway driver for hire and got in over his head and the employer had him... silenced. Totured to death by having each individual vertibret poped like a peanut, both arms ripped off, and head crushed. He was doing it all to be a vigilante, small time criminals he'd help so he could establish a good reputation as a criminal, and the BAD guys, you know... rapists or murderers... he'd arrange for them to be caught. By night, getaway driver for hire and by day a bored off his ass mechanic.
#2 He is, literally, a war machine. When he was reanimated as a cyborg (So he is technically undead I guess) his entire design was that for a war application. A sort of super soldier. Which bothers him because he is really a gentle natured man. He doesn't like hurting people... unless the hurt his car. He can lift and carry over his head 4 tons, and can still walk. All the major arteries in his neck are re-routed into his metal vertibrets so they can't be sliced, and he has a life support system that consists of a concentraded oxygenator (Yeah, totally fictional. Sue me.) and a spare heart. The fluid in his skull around his brain is a special synthetic fluid that allows him to sustain incredible impacts without his brain bouncing around his skull. His eyes can see full spectrum light. He can see in infra red, full spectrum, and can even use a sort of ultra sonic vision. If he applies them all at once he can see almost through walls. There is also a built in targeting systm plus a failsafe system where if his brain function stops a computer will take over and he will.... pretty much kill anything and everything tht moves. The system does seek out famliar faces stored in his memory as friends and will seek some sort of guidance from them. He also has an I-pod built into his skull.
His arms are made from a system I researched call Fluidic Muscle. Under those bands that act as his skin (And also prevents over balooning of the muscle and protect from punctures) he'd look a lot like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7KIp7A8iqs
#3 He is the grim reapers main man. He can't die until he performs some specific task in life. He has no idea what it is, and nobody is telling. If he does happen to die and his system recognizes a friend who keeps him from turning into a homocidal zombie cyborg... the cat will come back the very next day even though he was a goner. He just couldn't stay away.
and usually he's pretty pissed about it.
#4 He likes to cook. And he fries EVERYTHING. Even ice cream.
#5 He can't swim. All that metal makes him sink like a stone. Because of that he's terrified of large bodies of water. He's not afraid to die, in fact he looks forward to the day he does, but even with a system that can pull the oxygen out of water and keep him alive it's still incredibly unpleasant. His lungs still starve for air and eventually he'll still try to inhale, taking in water. The system isn't nearly as effective as his organic lungs so he gets weak and might not be able to get himself to land.
#6 While he works with some of the best fighters in the world, who help teach him tricks to becoming better, he still has a very effective improvisational fighting style that seems to catch even the most skilled opposition off guard. His brute strength, insanity based fighting tactics, and the speed those hydraulic arms can swing with (Lock the valve bodies to build pressure and suddenly release means his 540 pound mass and the inirtia of a whip even blocking a punch doesn't do any good) he's quite formidable. And if all else fails he has equalizers.
#7 He's a weapons nut, and in true "rejected boyscout fashion" he's ALWAYS prepared. Batman himself isn't as prepared as 'Slide is. 'Slide is perfectly prepared for a long winded WAR. "Lets see, what do I got here. I got a BIG FUCKIN' GUN! A backup gun. A backup-backup gun. Some garroting wire. A few frag grenades. A few incindiary grenades. A few pounds of plastic explosives. A couple whips made from chainsaw blades. A big knife, a few smaller knives, and some throwing knives. Nice selection of knuckle dusters. A couple sawed off shot guns slung beneith my arms under my coat. A canister of nasty smelling super condensed fart gas. WD 40 (In case I gotta freshen up). Duct tape. And an exploding cigar... hey... where's the exploding cigar?"
*Explosion in the next room followed by a lot of very foul language. "Carc..."
And that's just what he would have on his person. YOu should see the goodies in his car.
#8 'Slide actually had a relationship with Sierra's worst enemy for a while. He was in love with Sierra but was forced to be with Demonique because she could sense his supernatural sensitivity and wanted to study it. Studying him was just the cherry on the sundea. Naturally when she had him killed he came back, and didn't waste any time getting to Sierra for help. Took him a while to gather the courage to let her know how he felt.
#9 Landslide originally as a character wasn't a furry. He was a lycanthrope, a human who could take on the likeness of any of his 7 totem spirits. The common housecat you see here (Based on my sister's cat who was BIG and meaner than shit) he chose as his usual form because it's the most balanced and less wild natured.

Sierra and Prowl have both been called "A little too good. A little too perfect."
KWTFnow?
