Ability Ratings
Agility	Good runner, his regular top speed is around 77 miles-per-hour, sometimes a bit more, and he can reach that speed quickly. He's also good at climbing and swimming from his physical training–not a master, but pretty good nonetheless.
Strength	Surprisingly athletic, Pax definitely meets G.U.N. fitness standards. Stronger than what you'd expect from a techie, but he's still not a heavy-lifter nor a heavy-hitter.
Toughness	Trained kickboxer. Sticks to practical and efficient techniques, nothing flashy or fancy. Though he's not a glutton for punishment, he can take a hit well enough.
Energy	Has surprisingly great stamina. Pax can keep pushing himself for a good amount of time, capable of mustering a light jog even when exhausted. Must be all the coffee he drinks.

General Info

Few people expected Paxton to apply to G.U.N., let alone be accepted into the organization.

The youngest child of a military family, Pax grew up with a hard-line and disciplined military man for a father, an equally stern and no-nonsense mother, and four older siblings that were very good at kicking each other around when neither parent was looking. Paxton was always the smallest, the slowest, and the weakest; so to get by, he became the smartest and the sneakiest.

Pax, like his brothers and sisters, wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. After all, they had the ideals of honor, valor, and justice drilled into their heads as they grew up. Not all of it may have stuck, but enough did to compel the youngest dog to join G.U.N. He's still just a rookie, but he's dedicated to the cause of peace and security, and he's developed his abilities quite well thanks to the rigorous training he was put through.

Normally, he's a nice guy. He's outgoing and friendly to everyone, he enjoys helping out when he can, and he's fairly reasonable and slow to anger. When off the job, he's a relaxed person who loves to have fun and socialize with people; lively, but chill. When he's working, though, he shifts into an earnest and headstrong attitude. Pax takes his authority very seriously, and he is not easily swayed from his sense of duty. He may not be a hardened soldier, but the canine takes a resolute, if overeager, approach to his assignments.

Yet, despite how hard he tries, it's clear that he has a lot of trouble handling the risks and dangers of his job. Under extreme stress, he's quick to lose his temper and his composure. Anxiety can seriously screw with his head and make him crack up. To put it simply: when things get hot, Pax loses his cool. Paxton is willing to do a lot of crazy and stupid things if he thinks it will help him, but he prefers to avoid getting caught up in bad situations that would lead to desperate tactics. He's never enjoyed violence and he was never that good at it, so he endeavors to solve problems through alternative methods when possible. But if violence is necessary, the dog won't pull any punches.

Appearance

Standing at an average 118 cm and weighting at a somewhat heavy 35 kg, Pax's physique is toned but nothing impressive. He's not thin, but he doesn't exactly have much in the way of bulk either. His fur is a solid cool gray, with the usual white highlights common in canines, and amber-colored eyes. His ears are semi-cropped: they stand up straight sans the tips, which droop down a bit. His tail is a bit on the long side, has short but slightly bushy fur on it, and is curved like a saber.

Paxton keeps his on-the-job fashion simple and practical. He wears a desert brown vest that sports multiple pockets, along with matching brown pants, both made of durable denim. Pax wears a pair of standard-issue black combat boots, and tops off the ensemble with a pair of black fingerless gloves. Beneath the vest, he wears a pair of gun holsters under his arms, and a plain white tank-top. Above it, he wears a pair of black binoculars around his neck.

Ability Info

Paxton has always relied on the strength of his mind to guide him through trouble. He can be a ditz when he has time off or he's handling slow-paced work, but when he's wide-awake and excited, he can be very intelligent and shrewd. The rookie has sharper wits than most people expect.

He took an interest in computers at a young age, and turned programming into a hobby which he was quite proficient in. His abilities were improved even further by a formal education and official G.U.N. technical training. He's a computer expert, and hacking and cracking is his specialty. Cars are another hobby of his, but what he knows about about driving and maintaining vehicles was learned through pure experience and self-education.

Like all recruits, he went through basic combat training. He knows how to shoot a gun, though his accuracy suffers when he's stressed, and he knows how to take care of himself in a fight. He even knows a thing or two about first aid. Pax, however, also opted for basic stealth training. The dog prefers discretion and evasion over direct assaults.
