#179: Tortoise

     Happy 4th of July, people of the interwebs! So far, today has been a day of Saturday Night Live, Twilight Zone and stuffing our faces. Yep, America is great. Okay, time for a new character: Tortoise! 66-year-old UNDEROO agent Marshall Pate was a man of black and white beliefs when it came to "the man." So when his son, highly gifted FL (Fantastical Lifeform) Nate Pate, was offered to take part in an UNDEROO mission to the Zuax Dimension, Marshall figured he was in good hands. But his beliefs were then flipped on their heads. When the mission was completed, the agency abandoned Nate and the other FLs in Zuax. That's when Marshall lost it. Furious at the agency and especially its leader Robert Spyser, the high-ranking field agent stole a highly experimental "shell" of living metal from the lab and took off to the rough climate outside the base. The Tortoise was born. Fun fact: this oldie renegade ranks #3 on the UNDEROO most wanted list. Dude made the top 3! Can he get a WHAT WHAAAT?!
