Modifications:
-Thermal vision -
During the hours of dusk till dawn Ricon’s eyes switch from his normal vision to thermal vision. His eyes detect the infrared (heat) signatures that things give off and then converts it to a visual image. His genes were modified with that of a snakes to gain this ability. He can still only see as far as he normally can, but in a sense he can see more. Its not something he can willing control.
-Echolocation -
When emitting a sound such as a bark or a growl the sound waves hit an object and produce an echo. The echo bounces off the object and returns to his ears, listening to the echoes Ricon can figure out where an object is, how big it is, and its shape. The distance his echolocation can travel is 60 meters, or almost 200ft. It widens out from his starting position like a cone shape. Using this ability has its ware. Its drains Ricon’s energy after each use and takes time for him to be able to use it again.
Appearance:
Ricon stand at a height of 26.7 in or 2.22ft at the shoulder and weighs in around 90 pounds. He has a short, smooth, double coat.
With his short fur you would think hes the type of dog that wouldn't shed very much, but au contraire, his hair gets everywhere. There are certain times of the year you would think he’d go bald with the amount of hair he loses.
His coat color would be classified as black and rust, a traditional color for his breed. His markings being the rust color while the rest of his coat is the charcoal black. Ricon’s clipped, pointed, ears are rusty red on the inside. Two little rusty brows sit above his his eyes. His lower jaw and cheeks are the same color, leading up to a point towards the outer corner of his eyes. On his chest sit two triangular shaped markings. His four legs have a stocking shape markings to them, almost making it look like he’s wearing socks. On his front legs his markings start lower about midway up his leg where they begin to diagonally crawl up the back of his leg to his elbow. His back two legs are the opposite, crawling diagonally up towards his knees. The under part of his tail makes up the rest of his rusty color.
Ricon’s eyes are his most interesting and out of place feature. A result of his genetic mutations. His eyes and pupils are honey gold, while his irises are made up of two rings, the outer one being a bright pale yellow, and the inner one being near white. In the dark they give off a faint yellowed glow.
Ricon has a powerful muscular frame. He could even be described as dashing. He is often mistaken for a Doberman.
Personality:
Ricon is extremely protective over that of his choosing, sometimes its the young, small, and defenseless. Other times its a specific person or thing. When this happens he becomes so devoted and loyal that he wouldn’t second guess laying down his life. Ricon had been brought up with strict training. He didn’t grow up with lots of fun or play time, for him it was work 24/7. He very much has your typical soldier-like attitude.
Just because Ricon will follow orders doesn’t mean he automatically respects or even likes you. To him everyone is questionable until they prove themselves otherwise. He’s also not one to give someone a second chance. People dont change, dogs dont change, they might pretend they can but who are they kidding, deep down everyone knows who they really are.
Ricon dislikes most humans, especially the male ones. With them he is more stubborn.
Ricon is an active dog who needs the exercise and stimulation, its where it feels most calm. Even if its just walking around it occupies his mind. Its almost impossible to wear him out. When he gets bored he gets a little destructive.
Ricon has a little quirk, he’s kind of “mouthy” He likes to carry something around in his mouth or have something to chew on.

Backstory: (short version)
When he was bout 5 weeks old, Ricon was bough by a family who owned a farm. The family had purchased him with he intent for him to be a working dog, herding the cattle and sheep, guarding the family and animals at night, that was how he was brought up fully trained to the point where some commands weren’t even needed to be said aloud. For two years things were good, until one night the barn caught fire when an electrical pole came down. The barn went up in smoke and half of the house was damaged as well. The family fell short on money and they sold Ricon to the ghost project. The betrayal will always stick with Ricon.
