Manuel Vasquez, the Short Guy

The Canidean

Name: Manuel "Miniguns" Vasquez

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Species: Kit fox

Nationality: American

Height: 4'10"

Weight: 232 lb

Eye color: Hazel

Hair Color: Sandy blond

Physical Appearance: Ripped, but still flexible enough for a high kick. Tattoo of an angel on his right shoulder, and a crucifix covering his entire back. Hair in the furry version of a buzz cut.

Outfits: Varies

Occupation: Bouncer, youth counselor, martial arts instructor

Areas of Operation: Colmaton

Weapons/items: Bullet-proof vest (bouncer only), first aid kit, kris

Personal Transport: Motorcycle modified to fit his height

Skills/abilities:
-Grandmaster in silat, practitioner of aikido and karate
-Very good sense of hearing, but not on the super level

Strengths:
-Manuel is very well liked in Colmaton's Hispanic community. This popularity, combined with his great sense of hearing and his three jobs, allows him to acquire information that can be very helpful to law enforcement and superheroes
-Though he's not immune, his intense self-discipline makes him resistant to mind control
-Manuel is wonderful at talking out problems and bringing things to a peaceful resolution, although he isn't afraid to pull out his kris if things get too hairy

Weaknesses:
-He is rather sensitive to jabs about his height.
-Though he's no pushover, the first rule of martial arts is to avoid fighting - if nobody else is in trouble, he'll likely run or give in to a robber's demands before he fights back
-He's had three failed romances - one was a coke addict, the second was just trying to get into the club, and the third left him for a guy who was actually taller than her. As a result, he is reluctant to enter any new relationships

Bio: Manuel seemed to be doomed to failure from the start. He was a welfare child with a no-show father, and he was constantly bullied by his neighbors over his height, his missing father, and his big ears. While others looked for acceptance in gangs, or tried to silence their troubles with drugs, Manuel instead chose rigorous self-improvement, delving into the martial arts and amateur bodybuilding. By the time he turned eighteen, he had earned a black belt in karate, and could bench press his own weight. He works multiple jobs, hoping to accomplish through patience, discipline, and tough love what police crackdowns and government programs could not - a stable, peaceful community. He is also a devout Catholic - coincidentally attending the same church that Fleur de Lis works at.

Personality: A very lively, highly motivated individual. He's calm and collected, but often has difficulty opening up to others. He's reluctant to fight in any way, but he has no problem calling people out for stupid, self-destructive, or criminal behavior
