Bio:
After years of tracking him on Norad,
Emperor Cole's forces finally captured
the rogue superpowered entity
codenamed Yukon Red, so called because
he always showed up in the north and
the color of this suit. Neuron spent
years studying him to determine how to
replicate his uncanny ability to
identify if someone is "naughty or
nice", an ability that could be
invaluable in finding rebels to Cole's
regime.
Eager for
results, Neuron conducted a number of
questionable experiments on Yukon Red
that were supposed to make him "as
obedient as a dog" as well as
equipping him with high tech weaponry
including an arm that transforms into
a gun and what looks like a copy of
the Maelstrom Device. After being
broken out by the resistance he is now
known as Yukon Gray and punishes the
naughty instead of rewarding the nice.
*Mages

with some sort of inherent magic, he
can't cast spells.
*Sharks
are holograms
Notes:
Yes, I made Praetorian Santa a
relentless killing machine. Unlike
most characters I created, this one
didn't start out because I wanted to
play specific powersets or because I
thought up an interesting character
concept. This character started with
the infamous joke that Positron
doesn't ever fight because "They (the
enemies near him) con gray". From
there I came up with the name Yukon
Gray as "You (people he fights) con
gray". I ended up using the randomizer
in the costume creator and eventually
got something similar to his final
form, a bunch of bestial body parts
with a santa hat on top. I thought
this was a hilarious image and sorta
fit my planned name since Santa Claus
supposedly lives at the North Pole and
the Yukon is "in the north" for most
of North America. I then added the
techy parts since I wanted to play a
beam rifle character. While not
wearing the hat in the image above, he
does have it as another costume and I
often have him wear it during winter
events. Despite this character design
being backwards from my normal method
I'm quite pleased with how it came
out.
