#5 – Sparks
Might as well keep going with this setting. This is Roger Sparks, the protagonist’s companion on her mission. He’s been a mentor to her since she joined the military. They’ve done a couple small missions together in the past and work well as a pair.
Like many canine humanoids in this world, Sparks has trouble with spoken language, and ‘speaks’ via sign language and writing (though he prefers signing because he’s a horrible handwriter). While the protagonist is good at melee combat, Sparks shines as a ranged attacker.
Just don’t call him ‘Fido’ or ‘Spot’ and you’d probably get along with him just fine.
