Spot is a dalmatian. Aside from the large patch around his right eye, most of his spots are on his body rather than his face. Clothes make him uncomfortable, especially collars, so he goes without unless he needs goggles for a particularly dangerous flight.

In his Release Form, Spot transforms into a vicious reptilian raptor ten times his normal size. His fur turns to thick white scales with black stripes crossing his back, from the top of his long neck to the end of his muscular tail. Powerful claws sprout from his feet and his teeth narrow into needlelike points, all coated in a black armor-like substance that makes them nearly unbreakable. Sitting on his head is a rounded gem-like horn that glows with excess Light Magic as it escapes his body.

Heterosexual

Spot is excitable and adventurous, and he loves being in the spotlight. He's out to prove that he can be just as strong and smart as any human, and finds it annoying when people treat him like a dog (though he'll sometimes grudgingly accept a good scratch behind the ears). He acts confident in everything he does, and will drop everything to defend his friends, but his energy can sometimes come across as naivety instead. He'll put on a smile even when he's miserable inside, just for the sake of his loved ones.

Flight

Spot takes full advantage of his flight to zip around the battlefield at high speeds, staying just out of reach of as many attacks as possible. He uses his light magic in concentrated beams, though he sometimes has trouble aiming when flying especially fast. If precision or close range attacks are necessary, he uses his teeth.

Leader of the Brigade

Spot was once a normal stray dog living day-to-day, until he found the Brigade Relic buried in the ground and was granted human levels of intelligence and the ability to fly. Soon, he gathered other stray animals together and had them go through the Relic as well. After watching the humans struggle with their own problems, Spot decided they should use their powers to help, and the group ventured into Aston calling themselves the Brigade.

The first major problem Spot and his team were tasked with was their dragon problem: Viruno was tormenting the town. He and the Brigade fought several times, each wounding the other but not inflicting any serious injuries. Until one day, Spot found Viruno trying to steal the Relic out from under the team's noses.

In the resulting fight, Spot awoke to his Light Magic; unlike his flight, he always had this ability, but had never realized it. With his newfound magic, he chased Viruno into the nearby forest, where the dragon shared his tragic story in halting Terran. Despite everything, Viruno and the Brigade were able to set aside their differences and now consider each other tenuous friends.

Another dramatic shift in Spot's life came at the rise of the Soul Guardians. In a bid for glory and to protect his team from such fierce danger, Spot tried to fight them alone, and this culminated in Spot's Awakening.

Ever since that day, Spot has sworn to work against the Soul Guardians, and has now brought the entire Brigade into the fight against them.

"That depends, do they look trustworthy? I didn't think too much of Viruno at first, but he's a big hulking monster who was destroying the town!"

"They're kinda annoying sometimes, honestly! Always wanting to grab at me with their little hands."

"Every time I see another dog rolling in the mud, or uh, something else, I want to throw up!"

"Hmm. Probably Angel, I miss her a lot. I know it was my fault she ran away, but I really want to make it up to her."

"Shrug it off. I can't show weakness or people'll think I'm not up to the task."

"Come on, everyone's got equal value. I mean, I'm a Chosen One and all, and really fast, and I can fly, and I look cool... but okay, maybe I'm a little more valuable. But just a little!"

"I used to think I was, but Spike told me I'm 'pretty easy to read,' so... I guess not! Haha."

"I think I'd give up my life to save the Brigade... especially Angel. As long as I can be sure they'd be okay after."

"That I don't act like a dog, which I don't think should be all that surprising."

"I guess I'd want to go out in a blaze of glory, like right after I saved someone I care about. I'd want there to be a reason behind it."

"My bed, 'cause it looks like something a human would use except sized for me. I found it in the middle of the Wilds on one of our trips and I've treasured it ever since."
