Dawn 'Buck' Buchanan "I'm sick of having someone else tell my story -- badly, I might add -- so I'll be trying my hand at narrating from now on."
-- Rita Farr, Doom Patrol

OVERVIEW

Appearance:

Buck is a rugged-looking butch that's roughly 5'10", with a semi-athletic build, and an unkempt appearance. Honestly, she's really shitty at blending in, and even when she's wearing civilian clothes, she tends to give off Big Cop Energy. Which. Y'know. Is a big oof. She's working on it...

Personality:

She's gruff, standoffish, bitterly sarcastic, and she curses like a fuckin' sailor. Well. Soldier. It's not a great combo. Unless you're into that sort of thing. She's got a really cute dog though, so that helps, right? Right???

"The Lost Boys" - Buck is one of the Lost Boys. If you are too, you might recognize her as a semi-active member of the network. If you're a member of one of the supernatural communities, you might find it odd that she seems to turn up in Supernatural Business upon occasion.

"Ex-Military" - Buck served in the Army for nearly 10 years. She did more than a few tours in Afghanistan, but not much is known about her service record. Maybe you served with her? Maybe you spotted her at the VFW Hall? Maybe you just recognize her bearing as someone trained to be dangerous.

"K-9" - Buck frequently travels in the company of a big, grey Akita Inu. His name is Buddy, and he occasionally acts as a service animal when Buck's chronic pain flares up. Yes, you're free to give him some love so long as he's not working. You'll know because he's wearing his harness.

"Big Cop Energy" - Buck is a US Marshal. Yeah, she has Cop Energy. It's unfortunate for someone who wants to spend time in queer spaces. She's well aware of what weight her profession carries in the modern world... which is why she frequently works with the Office of Professional Integrity to police internal corruption.

Contacts

Cass: "We served together, and we dated for a bit? Lost touch for a while, but we met up through some mutual friends. She's got her shit together, which is cool. Embarrassing because I don't, but. Cool."

J: "I'd say I used to be a mentor, but I think the proper pronunciation is "bad influence."
