Appearance: Typically human, very rarely otherwise
Species Heritage: Winged lions have stood as symbols of honor and bravery for centuries, taking the role of a heraldic species for just as long in much of Europe. A notable example of symbolic significance is Saint Mark of the first century C.E., represented by a winged lion.
Abilities: Minor redirection of thermal and kinetic energy, reduction of effective mass when taking a form other than full-human, limited shapeshifting.

Dislikes: Injustice, bad music, bad quality weapons, crooked cops, discord, drunkards, self-righteous prats.
Personality: Varied, sometimes being calm and decisive, other times being vibrant and energetic. Intelligent, if sometimes a bit cold.
Attire: Rough workman's clothing during working hours, otherwise wearing a simple coat and grey slacks. A simple leather holster at his side with varied models of handguns, and a dark-grey, medium thickness forged steel chain around his neck, holding a bronze medallion an inch in diameter depicting a winged lion on its face.
Story: Having grown up during the days of the recent great war with Germany, Galen Fowler had always wanted to go into history as one of the greater parts in the military mechanism. However, as he grew up, he realized that the way forward into ensuring the security of the people was not through blunt force alone, but also precision and innovation. Seeing this, he spent his years learning the art of gunsmithing, eventually opening his own shop in the heart of SF just a few months ago. After introducing weapons considered remarkable in their reliability and accuracy, he was contracted to provide arms to the SFPD, ensuring an equal footing against the rising power of the multitude of organized gangs. Discovering his non-human heritage only 2 years ago, he is still looking for answers, all the while hiding his identity from the almost all-human police force of San Francisco. Considering the way most people treated others based on a difference in skin color, Fowler could only guess as to what they might do if they found out that he wasn't even part of the same species. A business must thrive, and thriving under the threat of descrimination is the last thing that would happen until some changes came along. Eager to ease the strain on the guardians of order in an ever changing world, Galen has sometimes helped in the active busts of a few gangsters when he felt that normal policemen just would not suffice.
