History:
Red is a native of the planet Halfworld, whose genetically altered animal inhabitants serve as the caretakers for the patients (of the insane asylum) there. Red’s life was fairly normal, in as much as the word can be applied there, and he eventually entered training to become a protector for the colony. He showed an especial proficiency with weapons (although he also blew himself up a few times).

Seeing that his… enthusiasm was a bit much for their little world, the planetary council arranged to have him shipped off planet, ostensibly for “training” but really to get him off the planet before he accidentally blew them all up tinkering with bombs or something of the like.

Red is not a bad person, by any stretch of the imagination. He’s just overly friendly, extremely enthusiastic, and perhaps has just a bit of an ego as well. A great guy, but one most people can only handle in extremely small does.

From there, he’s bounced from place to place, settling down on Knowhere Station, where he joined the security force and was partnered with Alex Quill. When the opportunity to become an even bigger galactic hero arose with the formation of the new Guardians of the Galaxy, Red leaped at the chance.

The majority of Red's weapons come from Min-Dee, a Knowhere scientist from a culture which worships small, fuzzy, adorable animals.

Skills:
Red possesses an enhanced sense of smell and hearing. He possesses an almost innate talent for understanding weapons and technology. If it shoots or goes boom, he can figure it out. He also makes use of a rocket-powered hoverboard. He’s quite good at climbing and getting into small spaces, as well as holding guns significantly bigger than he is. Red can, if need be, function as pilot, but his driving skills are somewhat... suspect.

Miscellaneous: Red wields a variety of guns of various sizes and ammunition, along with explosive devices. His favored weapon is an impossibly large gun he calls "Vera." He also sometimes uses a rocket-powered hoverboard. Red also makes use of a subspace system to store his weapons and gear.
