YESSSSS!!!! IT'S FINALLY DONE!! AFTER MONTHS OF LABOR AND PROCRASTINATION, IT'S FINALLY COMPLETE!!!! I'm so FREAKING happy right now. Okay, now for the actual info on the character himself. He's an alien from the planet Anktan, and he's a Hrinn. Enslaved by the hive species (the flek) as a young cub, he has the sacred coat color, black on black. He was rescued from them by a human named Ben Blackeagle, and when he was old enough, he joined the Rangers as a galactic soldier. He comes back to Anktan and tries to find out who he is, but finds out more than he bargained for. That's as far as I can go without giving anything away. I kind of wish that I'd included dog-tags, but it's a little late now and the problem with hindsight is that it's 20/20. Please read the stories, they're completely worth the read.

Also, if you go to http://www.baen.com/library/ then you can actually download them for free and read them on your computer. Please buy them though. I want another book to come out. K.D. Wentworth left them at a bit of a cliffhanger ending.

EDIT: I've submitted a newer version of the picture. It's a little blurry, but the underlying lineart is more apparent and the shading too.
