Oscar Barnum, also known simply as the number "Seven" was a racoon character I was developing for a while... first to be a character that'll appear in my comic but he may appear in other things too now.
He's basicly an expansion on racoons being stuck with the "bandit" stereotype: he plays various roles of being a super spy or ninja-type character. He might carry a few gadgets that'll differ according to what period he's in or what role he plays but more often relies on acrobatics/le parkour abilies to get around. He rarely uses weapons at all, except for a possible side arm. His most charactaristic melee weapons are a pair of short Okinawan kamas.
His costume design here is very (obviously) based on Solid Snake's from the Metal Gear Solid series, with other elements being taken from cyber goth fashion and from the main character of "Starcraft Ghost" It is a greyish blue cause I remember Vincient saying it's more prefered camoflauge for snaking around at night (black apparently would stick out more then one would think.)
In the comic Seven will be part of a trio of mercenaries that includes Vincient's protrayal in the story.
Final note: some credit has to go to my friend Duhbum for help with his name (Barnum being a slight reference to his cirus-like acrobatics). I chose "seven" to be his code name as a reference to James Bond. I threw Oscar in upon researching that Barnum is a Swiss surname, which sets up his background somewhat. Maybe he robs Swiss banks haha.
Has no relation at all to the movie, not yet at least

Amazing as always Rimpala. Solid Snake FTW!
And I can think of two reasons why Raccoons have the "bandit" stereotype. One, their well-known face markings, and two and more importantly, in reality they raid human things like garbage and in one instance, my bird feeder in the middle of the night. Now THAT was a funny story.
