Long before anyone ever knew the name, he was simply known as the stray wild dog roaming the outskirts of old Britain’s ruins. But something ancient stirred beneath the lands. Legends of the sword of a long-dead king rested there, waiting for a worthy hand.
A blade in stone. Long history of wear from the rock has shown scavengers had tried to unearthed the blade’s resting place and chaos around the sword would not stop. Word spread of the sword that would not budge. Many Men tried to lift it and failed. Machines attempted and overloaded. Even mages strained against the weight of the old magic. Nothing moved it. Try after try, the people would give up and leave it forgotten.
Until the day the stray approached.
Witnesses say the sword hummed lightly, like it recognized him. The dog pressed his teeth around the hilt and pulled, not with ceremony, but with simple, stubborn determination.
Its power changed him instantly.
His body grew stronger, his senses sharpened, and his mind opened far beyond what any animal should possess. The sword granted him intelligence, clarity, and a strange dexterity that let him wield steel with grace. Members of the current round table found him and brought him in as an equal. There he gathered knowledge, while mastering the art of fire arms and swordsman ship.
Sword in jaw, pistol at the ready.

Thoughts and Finishes
This idea came a long time ago when I kept referencing Okami in my Ninja hero. Crystal maiden also has a Wolf form in Dota 2 which I end up playing over the other. Playing a wolf or a dog is very fun idea to think up of. Originally I was going to use Wolf Link and Minda/Navi, but i focused using Great Wolf Sif has the hard refrence to the hero kit since I was more familiar with that character.
I was going to use a lot of Marvel vs Capcom 3 Amaterasu to help make abilities but I didn't want to make her into the hero. There are a lot of cool ideas for a wolf/dog that I could have used, Cold Star, Solar Flare, etc... I will admit I kept the sword! I didn't want to have floating guns, gun attachment or magic ammo. straight up with a gun.

Great Grey Wolf Sif is quite a slow fight with a few tricks under his paws... When you first meet this boss, it is quite intimidating seeing a wolf pick up a sword.
First playing Deadlock, it was only a matter of time that a werewolf would eventually make it into the game. My own "werewolf" version is actually a Were Raptor D: I was more curious how the developers would handle it. I didn't want to add this idea unless the werewolf hero was going to be a bipedal. The developers might have already decided to have their version be like Lycan. My goal is always to aim for something they might not have thought up, an idea but not sure what to do about it or sparking a new idea for something that happens in the moment. I wanted to make a Wolf / Dog hero that you could play as and not just a pet or something to command.
I hope it was a fun and inspiring read to stay motivated. Always be creating, even outside of Deadlock!
