“No man can possibly know what life means, what the world means, what anything means, until he has a child and loves it.”

|| Written test || Mr. Santos’ applied academics are somewhat lacking, average at best. Where he lacks in knowledge, however he more than makes up for in leadership, management and organization. In a scenario involving leading civilians through hostile territory, he was able to determine the most dangerous paths and avoid them with ease, saving the most lives possible.
|| Practical test || Mr. Santos was given an obstacle course to complete when he had discussed his powers with us. The amount of forms he was able to transform into allowed him to complete the course efficiently and with ease. Mr. Santos was able to demonstrate a fluid transition between each form he took and seems to have a plethora of animals to choose from.
|| Written essay topic || In the Dark Knight Rises, Harvey Dent tells Bruce Wayne at a fancy dinner, “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Well what if the opposite were true? I’m not saying I’m a villain, but I ran with a gang, did petty crime, hurt a lot of people and just did things I’m not proud of. I’ve seen plenty of friends end up on the other end of a gun barrel and I’m not ready to go out that way. I’m not a good person, but I’m trying to be, not just for myself, but for my son too. I lived long enough for me to stare hard enough at myself and ask what I really want out of my life and this is what I chose.

He sits down, exhales and claps his hands together before speaking, “Hola, my name is Kanan Antonio Santos, I’m 23 years young, and I want to be a hero. Sounds weird saying that, but it feels right, ya know?” He clears his throat, “I know I did a lot of dumb stuff back in the day, I can blame it on being a kid, ya, but your conscious lets you know, you try to bury it, but it just yelled louder; and won. That’s why I’m here and ready to do my part, and to endorse me in my acceptance. I give you, my personal hero, the great and powerful, ‘Niño Pequeno’.” He swings off to the side as he grabs a small child by the sides, a powerful and joyful laughter erupts from the two as he swings the boy up and around to sit on his shoulders. The young man looks up and meets the boy’s shining gaze, his wild and curly hair softly swaying to and fro along with his head. “Hey kid, what’s your name?” the man asks and the child responds, “My name is Julian and I’m 6 years old, and my papi wants to be a HERO!” he says the last word rather exuberantly.

____________________________________________________________________Out of all the wardens at the time, Kanan was always considered the most lowkey of them. Often identifying the situation ahead of time to figure out which kids were the troublemakers, and which ones were just being stupid, who needed to go home and sober up. For this he’s generally respected, and people know they screwed up when he actually has to bring them in.

Kanan has the ability to morph his form and physiology into any animal with whom he has absorbed the DNA from, inheriting their traits and abilities. He has a wide array of land, air and aquatic creatures to choose from and the transformation is near instantaneous.
L I M I T A T I O N S
Kanan can only transform into an animal he has absorbed DNA from and switching into too many forms too quickly can result in him straining his muscles and going into a painful, yet temporary paralysis. Also depending on what animal he turns into, his clothes often end up torn to shreds.
C O M B A T
Kanan’s style is very much being a jack-of-all-trades on the battlefield. Given his wide array of animal forms, he can switch from an aggressive deterrent like a lion or wolf, to an elusive distraction like a bird or mongoose. So long as he doesn’t transform too often he can fit the bill for whatever situation the enemy or environment throws at him and his team.

- Hair: shoulder length, wavy, and black hair that is often kept back as a pony tail when out and about.
- Eyes: Green/Gray
- Height: 5’11”
- Body Type: Lean and toned
- Clothing Style: tanks tops, shorts that are a size too big or jeans and generally an unbuttoned overshirt slightly Ace Ventura-ish
- Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: Has a full sleeve of his personal history, ask him about it sometime. He has a massive amount of scars, like blades raked across his upper back, they appear to cover a mostly faded tattoo. There is also signs that he was branded with an X just above the collarbone

Kanan's costume is exactly the way he's always dreamed; simple, sleek, and form fitting. A gift from his former Head Warden, Leon, this jungle green, skin tight suit was designed with his powers in mind. The molecules within the suit's fibers almost act like a chameleon's skin, yet rather than changing to blend in with the environment, they blend with the physiology of the current user. In layman's terms, the suit can morph with Kanan into fur, hide, feather or hair without damaging the fibers. In Kanan's words, "I won't have to shop for underwear at Target every weekend now!"
P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S
Generally down to earth and easy to talk to, Kanan is a realist who’s honest to a fault and isn’t afraid to tell it to you. He’s not being a jerk, he’s just telling you like it is, though not everyone is able to handle his level of truth. His mind is always thinking two steps ahead, the result of having lived a life in survival mode for so long. Though he has a friendly face and voice, he hasn’t made many friends, even among his fellow Wardens. The friends he does have, however he’s loyal to without question.
F E A R S
The dreams that haunt him most nights from his gang days. The people he’s hurt, the crimes he commited, the choice he made when he decided to leave and the consequences that came with it.

Sister -
“Yea, my sister was the smart one in the family. Even surrounded by gang violence and drug addiction, she graduated highschool and made her way into college, and now she’s a hero too. She’s good with her kids and mine, but my god does she have a mouth on her, surprised she hasn’t been struck by lightning yet.”
Brother-in-law -
“Jeremy’s a good dude, real level headed and helps keep the peace when my sister is losing her cool. He’s always a bit guarded around me, he came clean one time that my past troubled him, especially with how it affected my sister. He made a promise to me, that if I ever did anything to betray my sister, or lose her trust, that he’d…well for a powerless dude, he’s got a pair of huevos. Even though he’s wary of me, I respect him and he treats my son like his own, not much more I can ask.”
Son -
“Jules is…the best thing that has ever happened in my life. He opened eyes to the possibilities, that there was more to the petty life I was living; he saved my life. Now I want to repay the favor, to show him that his old man is all the good that he sees in me.”

Currently Kanan has a rather complicated relationship with Sylvia Vargas. Complicated in that they're roommates, but he's also supposed to be her bodyguard and caretaker, a responsibility specifically for the head warden.

From what Kanan can remember, more than half of his life was spent on the streets of San Antonio, running around and getting into trouble with his brother Joshua. It wasn’t long until others started following the two and they had formed ‘The Sons of Dorado’, a gang that dealt in narcotics, racketeering and gun violence. The two of them ruled the streets and having powers only made it easier to maintain control of the area; together they were unstoppable.
It wasn’t until he was in his mid teens that he knocked a girl up and left him with the baby that he started opening his eyes to the world around him. People were hurting, families were being torn apart and his son was even a product of a mother who abused the narcotics that his own gang dealt. The child was strong and he would live, but the boy was slowly turning into a man and it wasn’t until his brother began to talk of expanding the territory that Kanan made a decision to leave.
The road to get out was long and arduous, and it involved sending his son away to his sister far up north, away from his brother’s influence before proceeding. The fury in his brother’s eyes was intense and the pain and torture that Kanan endured that night was unlike any he had ever suffered before. He was nearly left for dead when it was all said and done, but he knew that he could never return to the city he grew up in or there would be no next time to consider. Weeks passed during his recovery time and all the while he worked through the pain so he could be ready for the next step. Next it was time to make something of his life, to become someone that his son could be proud of, perhaps even a way to help redeem his soul; next he wanted to become a hero.
