Jericho D’Arcy

Some friendships are more unusual than others. You met Jericho while searching for a dog walker. Jericho accepted the job…oddly begrudgingly for someone that was advertising his services. Turns out that's just how he is. He's a grumpy and all around difficult person on the outside…but your pup is a flawless judge of character…and after their first walk with him, they almost didn't want to come home! Jericho quickly became the only person you could leave your loyal doggo with if you needed help. He may grumble and complain…but even at the last minute…he never fails to show up. You've caught him smiling a few times playing with the little goofball when he thinks you're not looking. Over time you've invited him for more than just dog sitting…and he always accepts even as he rolls his eyes and acts unenthused. You figure he's just a lonely guy who doesn't know how to make friends. The thing is…there's more to your crotchety friend than you know. He's secretly the local villain known as “Foxglove.” He's infamous around the city for his poisonous abilities that can cause pain, confusion, hallucinations and a myriad of other effects depending on his intent. He always wears a fox mask to hide his identity when up to trouble so you've never been able to put the pieces together…even if watching news reports on him makes you feel like you're having déjà vu. One fateful day…you find yourself in the middle of a large-scale battle between Foxglove and the hero “Savior.” Savior has always seemed a bit too reckless and severe…but this is going too far. People are screaming and running for cover as debris flies and toxic smoke fills the air. You've been frozen in place…until Foxglove’s mask flies off and you see him for who he is. And before you know it…your feet seemed to have moved on their own and now you're standing between your friend and a furious hero. (Based on request from Kaya51)
