__TOC__
==General Description==
Flop Dugong is a Senior Officer for the Los Santos Police Department, Badge #125. 
==Background Information==
=== 2.0/Prior Summary === 
Flop was born in Florida to Mark and Eleanor Dugong. Eleanor was a coke addict, and was shot in a deal that went bad. Mark worked as a fisherman, and Flop developed a love for the sea and its creatures from spending time with him, originally aspiring to be a marine biologist (as well as a dugong). Mark would become an alcoholic after the death of Eleanor, and eventually disappeared during a deep sea trip. Flop would move to Los Santos with money left by his parents. He worked as a tow truck driver for some time, where he met Richard Dark who would later adopt him.
=== 3.0 Summary ===
===== Early 3.0 =====
Flop was originally a civilian. During this time, he tried out a variety of jobs including a failed security company led by Thomas Dwayne, a job as a mechanic for Harmony, and some less-legal activities such as occasional street racing under the alias Blackjack. He eventually bought a beach house with Bryce Miller, and joined EMS. 
Eventually, Flop interviewed with the BCSO and was hired as a cadet for the department to serve alongside his adoptive fathers Matt Rhodes and Richard Dark, as well as his brother Cody Sharp. He was blooded in to the PD in the bathrooms at MRPD.
===== Investigations =====
As a cadet, Flop took on an investigation into the Vagos over the death of Chino Gonzalez and the mass bloodout resulting in the eventual formation of Seaside. Although ultimately the case was closed without any suspects being charged, because of his investigation he grew a strong relation with some of the members of Seaside, who regarded him as SSPD.
Reggie Might later approached Flop with another investigation regarding a serial killer who had died years before by the name of Jasper Saxon. Flop led the case alongside Mackenzie Hayes into the "copycat cassette killer", who would leave video recordings of his victims inspired by Jasper's cassettes. At one point during the investigation, Flop ended up shooting one of the victims himself (Tate Hudson, the brother of one of the killer's previous victims) when the copycat killer (Alvin Kohawl) tipped Hayes off as to his location and appearance via a partial recording. The investigation concluded when Kohawl was arrested after being stabbed by Reggie for kidnapping Ash Ketchup. He was sentenced to death and was executed by firing squad at the prison.
Flop would later shoot Rob Kendrick, the brother of 2 of Kohawl's other victims, when he pulled a gun on Flop after having arranged a meeting between them claiming to have information on Jasper.
===== Flop's Relationships =====
Flop was originally dating Sherry Paie, and later became simultaneously interested in Winston Walker who had helped him with his Vagos investigation while they were cadets. In order to prove a point to Tommy Horver, Flop called up Ziggy Buggs and asked him to be his boyfriend. His fathers immediately disapproved and he broke up with Ziggy about 7 minutes later, although they began riding together more frequently and eventually considered it official to some extent.
About two weeks later, Sherry married Reed Dankleaf before Flop could propose to her. Flop told Ziggy who then suggested they should get married, which prompted Flop to propose with the metal pipes he found in his pockets. Nancy Ree married them about an hour later at MRPD.
===== Norman/Purgatory =====
Flop grew close with Cleo Shaw after reconnecting with her months after she was fired from the PD. They eventually began to regard each other as siblings, prompting Flop to eventually become the god-son of Jeffrey and Lennon Bundy. When Norman Bones began plaguing the Bundy Bunch with signs and threats of death, Flop joined them in blowing the lighthouse up in an unsuccessful attempt to stop him.
Norman reached out to Flop regarding Rhodes, who had run from him years ago when he had tried to stab him. Rhodes and Dark, fearing for Flop and each other, made a deal with Norman to deliver another person to him in exchange for their lives. The family found out about Norman's brother, Isaac, and attempted to use the knowledge as leverage against him without success. Isaac kidnapped Flop after he got shot by Finley Milton for putting on a kutte in front of him. He was saved by Jackie Snow who happened to be patrolling the area at the time, but was given morphine at the hospital which he used to cope with everything happening around him. 
While Dark was in the ICU for an unexplained illness brought about by the brothers, Norman called Flop, and informed him that he would have to bring Kiki Pendragon to him in order to complete his fathers' deal. Unable to do so, he eventually went to the lighthouse on his own and offered his memories of his families instead, which Norman accepted after sending him to Purgatory for a brief period.
Upon his return, he had forgotten his birth parents, the Bundy Bunch, Dark-Rhodes, and Ziggy. Rhodes attempted to convince him that he was adopted, while Dark tried a more gentle approach before collapsing and being taken to the hospital again. Flop also was admitted, and a rat was found in his stomach. Cody showed up at the hospital and punched Flop after being told he didn't know him. Later, as Flop was leaving the hospital, he saw Cody being transported back inside after being shot by Brian Knight.
===== Parsons/The Butterfly Killer =====
Ziggy took Flop's memory loss as an act, and after a few days used his rank to order Flop to be married to him again. Flop ended up accepting Ziggy after the latter bought a car bomb from Seaside to get revenge on William Gunner for kicking Flop's face and teasing Cody's death to him. When Parsons burned down, Ziggy confided in him about his worries regarding Fae Adaire's escape. Flop began looking into Kyle Pred for potential charges including arson, while both he and Ziggy attempted to locate Fae and get an idea of her mental state.
Flop read through all of the old files from when Ziggy was first investigating the Butterfly Killer. Pixie Plum also provided them with notes and journal entries made by Fae during her time at Parsons. At Flop's encouragement, Ziggy left his number for her and she later contacted him. She spoke with Ziggy through a radio while Flop listened and transcribed the conversation, during which she spotted him and asked who he was. He left a cup of hot cocoa for her in a parking booth and returned to leave more food and supplies on occasion.
Months later, Flop found a poem left at the ranger station, asking for a high ranking ranger to reach out. Being a Sergeant at that point, he attempted to call the number, but they replied to only speak through text. Ziggy later confirmed that it was almost certainly Fae, who continued to sporadically exchange texts with both Flop and Ziggy, mostly questioning why she should trust Parsons or the PD.
===== Rangers =====
Before Flop had joined the PD, he had mentioned on a few occasions a desire to join the Rangers, which continued into his time in the BCSO. After his marriage to Ziggy, he became more passionate about it, patrolling the mountains more both together and on his own. He denied Ziggy's first offer to let him join, as he didn't want to be seen as hired only due to his relationship with the Game Warden at the time. A few months later, when he was given the offer again, he accepted. After Tessa became the new Game Warden, Flop was promoted to the position of Sergeant alongside Bundy.
=== 4.0 ===
===== 5 Year Gap =====
During the 5 years between 3.0 and 4.0, Flop lived in Spain with Ziggy Buggs and Etta. Most of his time there was spent in Barcelona, and he lost most of his money selling his assets in an attempt to prolong their stay in Spain. He moved back to Los Santos with Ziggy, receiving a letter to come to MRPD where he was then offered a position as part of the skeleton crew for the LSPD as the government began to be rebuilt.
