Euroclyden Dogpack Cyberknight

Euroclyden: One of the first mutant dog Cyber Knights
-------------------------------------------------------
Note: In one of the books I read that there had been a few Dog-Pack Cyber Knights trained. I thought the idea was cool, so I created one. Pretty powerful, but hey, the forces of light need all the help they can get!

Euroclyden's parents were a pair of specially bred and mutated Malamute dogs. Owned by a wealthy merchant in Chi-Town, they were his "pets", and he treated them as so, despite their intelligence. The two dogs, "Big Al", and "Lady" had lived together with the man since they were puppies, and they both had learned a lot about the Coalition and the jobs of their Dog-Pack cousins.
Continually humiliated and abused by their master as little "toys" for his pleasure, both of the dogs grew to hate their lot in life. Given nothing to do, except sit, eat, and look pretty, they felt that they were useless, mere toys. In a world full of so much strife and pain, they felt like they should be out protecting humanity with their cousins, not stuck in some rich
man's mansion enjoying the air-conditioning and cuisine foods.

The time came where the man wanted to make money on his purebreds, so he forcefully had "lady" artificially impregnated with Big Al's sperm. While the two had already been having intimate relations (secretly, using contraceptives), they had already agreed not to have children, knowing if they did, the child would have the same fate as they. However, now they were even more horrified than ever at the acts of the man, and felt they really were being treated as mere animals more than ever. After they both recovered from the procedures, once Big Al found out he was enraged. Never before had he been so cruelly treated (he'd never have willingly gotten
Lady pregnant, knowing the fate of the child). That night, the man returned, and Big Al attacked him when he came in for his nightly games with his "pets". The man's two bodyguards quickly responded by stunning Big Al into unconsciousness, but not until he had torn out the throat of
his master. The man was rushed to the hospital, and stabilized with Bio-systems. Big Al however was turned over to the authorities for "going feral", and was quickly put to death.

After the attack, the man didn't visit Lady very often. She never knew why, but thought it was because he had finally realized they were intelligent beings, not animals. Little did she know that he was just waiting for her to give birth, so he could better train his new "toy".
Full of grief and anger about losing Big Al, one night Lady decided she had to escape. Easily doing so, considering the guards didn't truly consider her intelligent either, she fled to the lower levels hoping to avoid the authorities.

Pregnant, penniless, and alone, she was lucky to have found a member of the "mutant underground" before any of the less honest denizens, or the authorities found her. Smuggled out of the city, she was taken to a small monastery, where she was told people would help her, and give her a new
life. As fate would have it, she had been taken to one of the primary Cyber Knight training grounds of the mid-west. There she got a job doing physical labor, something she enjoyed immensely after lying around for most of her life. After she gave birth, she went to the home of a famous "gray seer". There she asked what her son's purpose in life would be, and what she
should name him. After a minute of meditation, the man answered to her: "Your child will do great things in his life, a good name for him would be Euroclyden". When asked what it meant, she was told it was dragonese, roughly translated meaning "courageous light". Joy filled at these revelations, Lady quickly became determined to have her son enrolled in the Knight's academy.

After attending the monastery's school for 5 years, young Euroclyden was enrolled into the Knight's school. As he grew to his full size, it quickly became apparent that he was well built and had an aptitude for combat. Working long and hard, Euroclyden became the first Mutant Dog to successfully master all of the Knight's powers. He also became revered for his skill in
combat. Taught to how to use his natural Psionics by a fellow mutant dog who also lived in the monastery, Euroclyden went on many "training" missions with his more experienced companions. There he proved to be invaluable at tracking and sensing the supernatural and evil. After he was considered fully trained and experienced enough (3rd level), he was given the option of leaving alone, to explore and bring light to the world.

Accepting the offer, he has been doing so since.

Notes:
Euroclyden is a very determined person. Extremely patient and level headed, he is always able to control his emotions. The one exception to this is the Coalition. After hearing his mother tell of the atrocities a citizen inflicted upon her and her husband, he can have nothing but raw hatred and loathing for such an unfeeling group of people. He just can not fathom how
someone could treat an obviously intelligent person so badly. Euroclyden has never had any personal experience with any Coalition members except for being shot at by them, and so he only has a negative image of them. he knows that they only feel they're working for humanity, but can not forgive them for all of the atrocities they have committed. One of the things Euroclyden is extremely fanatical about is saving innocents from the wrath of the Coalition, he will seek out and except quests of that type more than any other.

Euroclyden considers all races equal, and judges only by the person's actions and words. He is excepting of Magic and Psioncs, viewing them as tools only, not anything especially bad. One of the character traits that he hates himself for however is his immediate distrust and suspicion of creatures of magic and supernatural nature. Because of his dog-boy physiology, he naturally fears and wants to lash out at such beings. This is a problem his fellow knights tried to overcome time and time again, but finally they gave up. The feeling proved to be at the core of Euroclyden's personality, almost as if in a un-rewritable program (the genetic programming of the Coalition actually). So, he continues to be wary of such beings, and while he has learned to not attack them with out provocation, he is still very on edge when around them.

One of the reasons he opted to leave the monastery so soon was because of the presence of supernatural and magic creatures there (mostly good dragons and other races). While he knew they were not a threat, and only wanted peace, something inside him always screamed "fight or flight" when ever he was near them. It was beginning to madden him, so he took the first chance he got to leave. He is still *very* loyal to the knights, he just cannot be around such creatures comfortably for very long.

Now he wanders the territory on the outskirts of Coalition territory near Ohio, helping all in need, especially against the Coalition. Here he has made many allies, including a coven of good wizards, and numerous small villages and towns in the area. He has heard rumor of Psyscape, and would very much like to know more, but has yet to find any conclusive evidence.

When in battle, Euroclyden is amazingly agile for his size, often suprising opponets with his speed. He prefers to take his enemies alive if possible (unless they are supernatural or magic, in which case he is instinctively relentless and vicous beyond belief)
