This is someone I've had on the backburner for a while. Also yes, I basically made a boyfriend for Dr. Akita. More info is below.

Voice Actor: Phil LaMarr

Full Name: Dwayne Hardy

Character Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (formerly Chaotic Good)

Personality: Lively | Friendly | Mischievous | Wisecracking | Unpredictable | Theatrical | Curious | Egocentric | Cunning | Childish

History:
• Grew up in Detroit
• College roommates with Dr. Akita
• Stayed for a time with Akita’s family during a business conference in Japan
• He and Akita have old codenames for each other: ‘Anansi’ and ‘Kitsune’ respectively
• Once one of the top scientists of S.H.U.S.H.
• Had his transition surgery as well as electrical implants during his time at S.H.U.S.H., although he’s never told anyone besides Akita the specifics of the latter, let alone how they work
• Took in Ducktor as a student but ultimately went separate ways with him after a conflict of interest
• However, during his time at S.H.U.S.H., the humdrum of countering F.O.W.L. and other villainous organizations slowly got to him, eventually leading him to quit his position to freelance, his new clientele slowly becoming more and more…”morally diverse”
• It would not be until decades later that he would reunite with his old friend, Akita, who had recently come under the employment of F.O.W.L.
• After a series of betrayal-induced shenanigans, he and Akita are living together in hiding, making up for lost time
