RaccoonMask

"Oh trust me....it will only feel a lot worse later on. I'm just getting started."

- RaccoonMask

RaccoonMask (ラクーンマスク Rakūnmasuku) is a raccoon-themed Shadowblood Veteran, a member of the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods and an RP character conceptualized by Gallibon the Destroyer.

Personality
Having grown up on and lurked through the streets of Brooklyn and being a sick-minded, rebellious and bloodthirsty serial killer/thief/space pirate, RaccoonMask is one of the most ruthless members of the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods. He shows no remorse for his actions, in fact either justifies or brags about them, loves filth and garbage and is incredibly crass. One of his most defining traits however is his greed; wanting as much power and money he can find. Despite his notorious reputation as a sick killer, RaccoonMask is also a coward, often targeting civilians, women, children or witnesses for his kills but will flee the scene immeadiately if the authorities come in or if he is losing badly on a fight. He is also very knowledgeable on other famous serial killers, often referencing them and having an encyclopedic knowledge on them. He also hates being referred to as a minor criminal such as a mugger, believing himself to be above that.

RaccoonMask also has a more secretive treacherous side to him, thinking that he would make a better leader than CobraMask and secretly despises him, but he realizes that if he were act against him now, it would lead to his demise, so he awaits for the perfect opportunity to upsurp him.

Backstory
RaccoonMask was born in the filthy streets of Brooklyn, New York in his verse and right away life became hard for RaccoonMask, as his parents were apathetic towards him and did not care to treat him, so they left him at an early age. Fortunately for RaccoonMask, he found himself adapting to his environment quickly. RaccoonMask would often spend time alone and venture out into the wooded areas, where he soon became interested into macabre. Not long afterwards he would become troublesome towards the law, often stealing food, digging through trash, loitering and other offenses. This would then spark RaccoonMask’s dark and demented serial killer lifestyle, and he would continue on his morbid career on several other planets, to the point he has been banned on at least five different planets.

Later on, RaccoonMask would get to meet CobraMask while CobraMask was exiled and the two became freinds (more or less), due to the two both sharing similar goals and both not having any much standards. RaccoonMask would thus become one of the first members to join the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods. Unlike other members however, he is more able to go out freely and live his criminal life. This is most likely due to him and CobraMask falling out (somewhat), but RaccoonMask still has major ties to the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods, not wanting to desert the faction...

Debut: The Brotherhood of Shadowblods, Rise!!
RaccoonMask made a cameo in the RP where he was shown rising out from some garbage, manifesting completely and roaring.

Feel the Pain! The Overbearing RaccoonMask Pt. 1
RaccoonMask made his first true appearance in RP where he was shown flying in space, heading towards Earth in his spaceship, firing at some other spaceships and asteroids that were in his way. However he ran into some trouble from the Space Police, led by Inspector Cypher. RaccoonMask initially tried firing at them and succeeded in shooting down two, but then he found out that he ran out of ammo. RaccoonMask then flew out of there and then teleported to Earth, retreating.

RaccoonMask then reappeared on Earth, arriving at Helena, Montana where he began his attack down below, opening fire on many civilians. Soon he waltzed into a dark ally, which turned out to be a bad move for him and he then ran into SaberMask. Before RaccoonMask could pull out his claws against SaberMask, SaberMask then launched forwards, jumping from the wall then to RacoonMask as he then front flips, smashing his heel into the top of the Shadowbloods head. RaccoonMask then slashed his claws against SaberMask, to which SaberMask uppercutted back against him. SaberMask and RaccoonMask fought some more, with SaberMask winning for the most part---SaberMask moved out of the way of some of RaccoonMask's slashes, but he does get hit by some as sparks go flying. SaberMask ducked under a slash and smashed his palm into RacconMask's stomach, sending a pulse of shadow from his palm into his body and sending the shadowblood flying into a garbage can.

RaccoonMask hid in the garbage can briefly before then shooting himself out and landing behind SaberMask, eating some garbage as well. RaccoonMask was prepared to bite at SaberMask, but before he could do so---a beam of light was shot at him---FlamingoMask had arrived!! SaberMask kicked RaccoonMask aways. SaberMask then entered his Crocodile mode and prepared to battle him some more, SaberMask then slashed his blades against RaccoonMask, sending out sparks. FlamingoMask then also repeatedly whacked his Wrecking Flail against RaccoonMask, adding more damage.

RaccoonMask then repeatedly fired rounds from his Raccoon Submachine Gun, firing many laser rounds at the two Shadowbloods. Crocodile! SaberMask then fired an energy crocodile against RaccoonMask, which not only bit at him but also exploded on him, dealing with major damage, sending him (and also FlamingoMask) back from the blast. RaccoonMask then got back up and went ballistic on the two, firing his Raccoon Submachine Gun some more before then finally leaping onto FlamingoMask and biting on his left arm hard. Crocodile! SaberMask then slashed his blade against RaccoonMask's side, causing RaccoonMask to be hit and let go of FlamingoMask. RaccoonMask then rolled over and his red eyes glowed some more and glared at SaberMask before then manifesting aways, seemingly retreating.

However as it turned out, it was a false retreat, as then RaccoonMask would follow FlamingoMask to San Jose and began controlling the pain on FlamingoMask's bitemark he gave him earlier, increasing the pain to unbearable levels, stating that it would only get worse from here.

Weaknesses

 * Light Energy: RaccoonMask is weak to light energy.

Trivia

 * He is the fourth member of the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods to have a mammalian motif. He is also the first member outside of CatMask, HyenaMask and MouseMask to have a mammalian motif.
 * Originally his main weapon was meant to be his Raccoon Knife, but it was changed to the Raccoon Machete and Raccoon Submachine Gun. This is why the knife appears in his main picture still.
 * RaccoonMask is the third Shadowblood to use guns for his main weapons. The first was CoyoteMask and the second was SharkMask.
 * He is somewhat similar to CoyoteMask in terms of backstory, as both grew up in Brooklyn (albeit in different universe) and both were born in harsh environments to which they adapted to. However unlike CoyoteMask, RaccoonMask chose to become evil instead and quickly found a liking to being what he is and is far more ruthless and cold-hearted.
 * His "Agonizing Bite" attack is meant to be an homage to Galberos's similar bite attack.
