== Biomod ==
Experimental Boskonian biomod to create disposable 'dog' soldiers. His appearance is that of a nearly eight foot tall werewolf.
== Personality, History, and Desc ==
Born June 5, 1984 as Ken Olds in Colorado. Dakota tends to be fairly laid back person with a long fuse on his temper.
'''History'''
I worked for the Boskonians and not by choice. How does one end up a unwilling boskonian? In my case it was the wrong sort of people taking notice of me. This was right after the launch of Grover's Corners I didn't have easy access to a vehicle to convert into a spacecraft. So I started quietly shopping around for a ride up with the holo tech I'd been working on. Got a 'great' offer, only to find out my error when I was already halfway to South America. Landed at a compound there that would end up being my 'gilded cage' for nearly a year before they figured out I was quietly sabotaging the holo tech in different ways.
They had all rights to shoot me for it, but they chose to use me in a biomod experiment. Fated to a fate worse then death, or so they thought. The coin of fate landed on the edge just to give everyone the finger. They got their biomod, I kept my free will, putting it to very good use to break out. Looted a vehicle and fled to space.
'''Desc'''
Dakota's biomod is that of a eight foot tall werewolf and thankfully not the big ugly teeth filled snarl Hollywood horror type. He's forced to hunch over in most places in fenspace to avoid smacking his head on things do to his height. His arms are slightly elongated with his legs being slightly shorter to bring both nearly the same length. This is combined with a elongated torso to let him move along on all fours. He retained his long hair from when he was human, it's pulled back into a loose warrior's braid.
'''Clothing and items'''
Broadshorts of different colors, aloha style shirt and a pair of highly modified sandals. Usually a belt or satchel of many pockets. A bag or two of Beggin' Strips.
 
Holo wrist computer - Functions much like any wrist computer except it's interface is completely holographic. Tied into a secondary holo projector built into a headset that lets him display text or text emoticons in order to communicate with people.
== Notable Mundane Attributes ==
Artist: passable 2D artist, not half bad 3D artist.
Cook: passable cook
Gamer: Former MMO and sandbox game junkie
Holo Artist: Had a knack for building holograms and getting the wave to produce holo projectors before his biomod.

==Handwavium Abilities==
'''''Dance little photons!''''' Dance I say! DANCE!: Very good hologram device builder and artist almost to blue hair levels.
'''''Just a scratch:''''' Dakota has a rather powerful regenerative abilities from his biomod at the cost of having to eat a lot of food after wards.
'''''Nose to the wind''''' His arms and legs are nearly the same length with a elongated torso. Letting him move on all fours when he needs to.Which is most of the time considering how cramped a lot of fen places are. This has also led to a cold nose where it doesn't belong more then once and the resulting abuse inflicted upon his person.
''''''''''
==Quirks==
'''''..and I must scream''''' His biomod has rendered him mute beyond sounds normally made by wolves.
'''''Scoobie Snacks''''' Much like catgirling machine victims and soda. He requires Beggin' Strips in his diet.
'''''Fumble Fingers''''' His fingers are thicker, stubby, and tipped in claws. Causing him to have issues with small objects and delicate work.
'''''Foo Dog''''' Driven to protect Fenkinder and temples if they are in danger.
'''''Sam Fisher''''' When lurking in dark areas his eyes glow blue. The darker the area, the brighter the glow.
'''''These cloths chafe''''' Finds he can't wear anything but a pair of baggy shorts and a light weight shirt for longer then a hour before he becomes very uncomfortable.

"Okay, I got your henshin pen from Lu- er - from the top-secret Moon Cave, so here it is!" Usagi chirped. "Just hold it up and say the first thing that comes to mind!"
"This feels really stupid," Ranma deadpanned.
The pen shot a few raspberry colored sparks and made a rude noise. - R1/2&SM: No Henshin
"Youma. I think we can write them off, right off. They're cannon fodder, and not terribly good cannon fodder at that. I'd rank them a bit below drunken circus midgets in combat effectiveness -- at least the circus midgets can conveniently punch their opponent in the crotch." - Xenoproctologist

Power: Target machine/statue comes to life for (X length of time).  High mana levels can result in the song affecting additional (unintended) targets and/or the affect becoming permanent.
And now for a nanostep that popped into my head along with the power:
Doug shook his head slightly as he looked over to where Mrs Van Luit's maid was 'petting' the hood of a old style, white Volkeswagon Beetle. Oddly, the car's engine seemed to be purring in response.
"While I do thank you for your assistance with those ruffians Colonel Sangnoir, but I really don't think that your ... modifications to the vehical is appropriate for my household.  I suppose I'll have to return it to Mr Thorndyke's showroom."
"I'm sorry about that.  I didn't think the local mana feild was strong enough to do this."

The Drunken Dogfish started life as a 46' Rider XP cigarette boat. A cabin with basic amenities is located under the foredeck and accessed by a door between the helm and co-pilot seat. It was first modified with hidden compartments when acquired by drug runners. Then modified farther with the open rear cabin being enclosed to seal it from space and the amenities in the fore cabin improved. She was stolen early 2013 by a fen escaping from the Boskonian drug runners.
All her modifications where with a eye to keeping her looking at normal for a boat of her type and not draw attention to the hidden compartments. The current owner still hasn't found all of them even after recruiting help to carefully look.

== Mundane Quirks ==
"All the little nooks" Lots of hidden compartments on board.
== Quirks ==
"What shall we do with a drunken sailor?" Drunken Dogfish likes to go fast, failure to do so without reason results in the boat acting like she has a drunk helmsman.
"It's around here somewhere.." Things lost on board turn up later in one of the hidden compartments that dot the boat.
"Space is a ocean:" She gives off a visible energy wake as she flies through space that looks remarkably like the one she'd have in the water.
"No smoking zone:" Performance drops if there is a visible cigarette or pack of cigarettes on board.

I'm thinking that maybe it's time for StellviaCorp to get into the business shown in Uchuu no Stellvia - pilot training. This would be an Infinities idea for Season 3, and I've got a base picked out for the school.

But before I do this, does anybody else have any ideas of doing anything in the same direction?

I happened to notice the mention of these guys on the ME wiki - apparently it's a news story you can follow, but that's all. What struck me, though, was that percieved time runs much faster in the virtual reality... Couldn't you, during the "scrambling to find any possible advantage to use against the Reapers" stage,get someone to sponsor a research team in there, to work on things like improved shielding, or practical energy weapons, or non-Relay FTL (for tactical flexibility,) etc.? Even when nothing physical can pass between the two existences, there's so much benefit that can be wrung from extra centuries of research and thought... Obviously, they didn't go that way with the actual games, but this here is the fanfiction forum for a reason!
