History

In the time of the Inca Carlos’ family were hereditary priests of the god Ayar Cachi. Ayar Cachi made a proclamation of death to all of the children a newly conquered people. The high priest who was Carlos’ ancestor refused. Ayar Cachi was angry and cursed him and all his descendants to be able to survive everything and powerless to do anything, and declared them to be the kicking dog of the gods. The curse caused the family to all gain their invulnerability and their accidental secondary ability that attracts dogs, who see them as kindred spirits.

Carlos was born in Santa Rosa Argentina to a family of laborers and was the second of three children. As a child he showed promise on the soccer field being willing to take risks and do crazy things to score or stop a goal. While growing up and going to school Carlos dreamed of two things, being a professional soccer player and a superhero. His family tried to talk him out of both but he stubbornly stuck to his dreams and kept going.

After a few years of playing soccer for small teams Carlos moved up to the big time. He got a call to try out for the Sounders up in Seattle. He got the job but due to his lack of real experience they have him in a lesser position so he can get more seasoning and eventually move up to be one of their main two goalies.

Carlos treated his new found freedom away from those he knew to begin his heroing career. He found himself on the periphery of several group battles with the Emerald City Defenders and various foes and plenty of solo fights. During one of those solo fights against a plant creature from another dimension, the Woodwose, he met Sun Wolf. They teamed up and after an unsuccessful bid to join the Emerald City Defenders decided to form their own team.

 

Personality:

Carlos is hard headed and stubborn. His invulnerability has led him into many poor situations that he refuses to back out of because he knows no matter what he will survive it. He tends to charge in without thinking and not think his plans all the way though. He does have a positive outlook on life and tries to maximize everything he can do to have fun. When the going gets tough he refuses to abandon his friends.

 

Relationships with team mates:

To him Betony is a little sister. The kind you playfully harass and protect.  He does really like having her on the team because she knows and can do so many different things.

He admires Natasha and her abilities, although he wishes that she would let him take charge more. Even though he has known Natasha for nearly a year he hasn’t gotten the courage to tell her that she is only attracted to him because of the secondary pat of his family’s curse. That does flavor his interaction with her a bit.

He can tell already that Aaron is going to be a great buddy. They both have a similar sense of humor. He likes that Aaron jumps right in. He knows that he will have back up. And that sword is pretty sweet.

Roland is talking cat, which is kinda hard for him to get past. Yeah he is plenty smart and when he gives you information it is really good stuff, but smarts aren’t everything. He needs to stop being so nosy and to work on his sense of humor. And Grande is pretty sure Roland has forgiven him for the catnip incident by now.
