RReal Name: Captain Jerrreecko Krrrsskyk

Race: Porcupinian

Height: 7'6" tall (9' to tip of quills)

Weight: 375 lbs

Birthplace: Grrrithkathk-Ckirrrggik (roughly translates into ‘Battle of Blood River City’)

History: Vanguard speaks very little about his past. What is known is he was dishonorably discharged from the porcupinian military (where all young porcupinians serve a term). As honor is incredibly important to porcupinians, Vanguard seeks to redeem his by becoming a bounty hunter of distinction. So far, despite his silver quills (a mark of distinction), porcupinian warship and (somewhat delusional) self-confidence allowing him to hire a crew of compentent bouty hunters, he has yet to produce note-worthy results as a bounty hunter.

Profession: Captain of the Vanguard (spaceship), bounty hunter, mercenary. Formerly porcupinian military.

Temperament: He's a jerk. He knows he's a jerk. If you have a problem with it, that's your problem. Takes care of his crew, like family. Tactical genius but very impulsive and seldom thinks the consequences of his actions through.

Abilities: Like all porcupinians, Vanguard is stronger than a human (about equal to a gorilla), double-jointed, covered in quills, and has superior senses of sight, smell and hearing. He's also military trained, sharp-shooter and surf-boarder.

Equipment: Vanguard typically wields two duo barreled blasters, along with a waist mounted ion cannon.

Companion: A ‘compupal’ unit he’s termed ‘Shipwreck’ which is a non-senient AI unit capable of providing intel on a huge number of topics, performing various feats, and flying via anti-gravity units on it’s base. It can also carry a load, including Vanguard himself, while flying.
