Characters[edit]
- Reed Jackson/Midnight Fox -Reed is an arctic fox and a shy socially awkward teenager and a sophomore in high school. He developed his powers as he grew older and with the help of his best friend Marty, they began to train him to become a superhero. As Midnight Fox, Reed feels alot more confident in himself and is often known to get a bit cocky, often using wise cracking humor when fighting his enemies.
Reed has extreme superhuman strength and high tolerance to pain, though his powers are limited he has a quick wit of getting out of a tight situation.
- Detective Luke Forrest -A 23 year old silver fox originally from Texas who joined the San Francisco police department and promoted to detective within a year. Despite being a rookie, Luke is very devoted to his career as a cop, and is very adamant about getting the job done as much as possible. Luke is also a bit too prideful and can get a bit too reckless from time to time. Because of his pride, this leads him to antagonize Midnight Fox, viewing superheroes as a threat to the "real heroes".
Though he isn't a superhero, Luke is every 80's action hero trope in the book. He shows very talented marksmanship and sharp shooting with firearms. Though, mainly carries a Dan Wesson revolver as his main sidearm, Luke is also very skilled in martial arts.
Despite his badass nature, Luke tries to remain honorable still mild mannered and even maintains a sense of humor, even in times of danger. Luke is also known to be very persistent which is possibly due to taking his job seriously.
