History "To start with, I want to be really clear, I didn't steal Hank." -- Andy Merton Andy Merton, a minor thug, took Hank, a corgi, from a fellow minor thug and druggie called Mannie. They both worked occasionally for a bigger thug named Mack Faraday and both owed him a considerable amount of money. Mannie just owed more. Mannie also owed Andy which is why he took Hank. He thought Hank was Mannie's pet, and would be motivated to cough up some money to get Hank back. Turns out Mannie had stolen him from a breeder to resell. SO basically Andy got Hank. "I did steal the amulet though. Straight up." -- Andy Merton Desperate for money, Andy broke into a house over Eastbrook, where he found a shrine to Stormhawk, he took some jewelry from the house. That was for profit. He also took an amulet, not for monetary value, he just wanted it. Afterwards he spent a good amount of time looking after Hank, mostly house training him to start off with, but over time, he grew close to the little corgi. One day, after a walk in the park and whilst thinking about how Andy owed Faraday another payment soon, Hank touched the amulet with his nose, fusing them together, briefly. Andy quickly understood how to go back and forth between dog/human and was very intrigued by the experience. While testing out his powers, Andy was mulling thoughts of pulling a few bank jobs, but somehow, he could hear Hank in the back of his mind saying "No. Not good." This "communication" with Hank increased over time. While in Dog/Human form Andy/Hank came upon a mugging in progress. At the strong urgings of Hank, they took action and foiled the actions of the muggers. Mr. Smartie Notes: <Good start here. I thought I was editing old material, and went ahead and did some touching up. Didn't mean to step on you toes. Feel free to continue. I've added an outline that I had done yesterday of things I thought would be good content. Use as you see fit. Thanks for you contributions> Outline: Andy was a minor thug involved with other thugs. That's how he acquired Hank, a Korgi dog. The theft of the amulet. His "linking" with Hank and its attitude changing effects towards him being a low cost grifter. His developing powers and how they included more than just heightened dog related skills. He could fly His shocked at finding out Hank's life span was limited. His sad and touching goodbye to Hank. His passing on the amulet to allow for a new bonding. He was too attached to Hank to want to do another. The main focus is on how the amulet, Hank, and Esme helped Andy to grow and make his life more meaningful, more caring. Good!
