**Biography:**

Lawson was actually born as a reincarnation of an Exe that had died years before Man's Best Friend takes place. He began as a version of Tails that was named Grasshopper, being a foil character to the real Tails. Grasshopper was featured in a lost episode of the classic TV show, "Sonic SatAM", before being scrapped due to the plot not working out with what was actually planned for the show in the future.

However, meanwhile, inside the tape, Grasshopper somehow gained sentience and made a pact with Julian Robotnik. He agreed to let Robotnik run experiments on him, so long as Grasshopper got to kill Tails, Sonic, and the Resistance.

Grasshopper managed to do so, going crazy with power, before he was killed by Bunny and the tape he resided in was destroyed.

Grasshopper had his soul condemned to hell. He burned in its pits for six years until he found a breach in the seal, allowing him to escape. However, taking the form of his past life would cause him to be found by Satan and dragged back to hell, so he opted to be reborn in a different universe, as an entirely different creature, having all his memories wiped away.

Grasshopper became Lawson once again, being forced to start anew. Even though he was no longer powerful, the urge to kill was still there, deep down inside him.

Lawson was born #4 out of eight children in his home, along with his twin brother, Jacob. Being a natural sociopath, Lawson quickly showed signs of this, bullying and abusing members of his family for fun; however, being the middle child, he fell under the cracks and learned that the only way to get attention in his household was to misbehave. With these lessons learned, Lawson became a monster that nobody saw until it was too late.

Lawson and Jacob often hung out around their nieghborhood, not even going to school most days since their mother was busy dealing with six other children and couldn't be bothered. Jacob, due to only ever being around family, developed social anxiety, which Lawson learned how to manipulate in order to force him to do things that Jacob wasn't exactly comfortable with.

Equipped with skills of manipulation, stealth, sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies, and abusive behaviors, Lawson began comitting small crimes by age 8, the worst one being robbery and assualt on a cashier with a knife at the young age of 11. Lawson was brought to an Alternative Learning Center (Juvenille Hall of sorts) along with his brother after the robbery occured. There, Lawson learned from the other at-risk kids how to do things like hotwire cars and hide bodies, creating the perfect storm for the atrocities to come in the following years.

The Center that Lawson and Jacob were placed at were unable to get ahold of Lawson's mother, and CPS was called in. They found the large family's home to be filthy and uninhabitable in some places, and the mother to be an unfit caretaker since she was barely able to take care of anyone, save for her 2 youngest children.

The house was condemmed, and Lawson and Jacob were moved to a new home. It's safe to say that these events in tandom left quite the impression on Lawson, traumatizing him and causing him to have a deep-rooted hatred for law enforcement and figures of authority. Lawson and Jacob, despite being in a new home, skipped school frequently and wandered the streets, stealing and pickpocketing.

And, once Lawson was fourteen, he met Miske after finding his dinosaur by the side of the road in their neighborhood. Lawson wanted to burn it, but Jacob insisted they return it, so that's what the two did. Miske took a shine to the brothers and constantly tried to get them to come over, but this quickly annoyed Lawson, not to mention the fact that he was jealous of Miske's near perfect life.

So, he divised a plan. He would use Miske's love of video games against him. In the year 2013, Sonic.exe, both the creepypasta and video game, were quite popular, and Lawson downloaded a copy onto a thumb drive, even going so far as to modify it with more gore and parts using Miske's human name so as to scare him even more.

If Lawson's plan worked, he would scare Miske so badly that he would never want to talk to them again since they had pranked him so harshly.

So, on the date of Miske's birthday, Lawson handed Miske the thumb drive. Even though Sonic.exe did not exist, Lawson was about to become one.

Miske ended up dying of cardiac arrest after being (quite literally) scared to death by the game. Even though Lawson didn't plan for that, he didn't care. That was one less annoyance he had to deal with. Jacob, however, was absolutely terrified of being prosecuted for the crime. In the end, though, the death was investigated by the police, and even though the USB stick was indeed traced back to Lawson, it was ruled as man-slaughter and no charges were pressed, with most people believing that Lawson was innocent.

However, one person was not going to let this slide- Tiana "Lia" Crawford. She investigated the death and confronted Lawson about it, as she figured out what he had done. Lawson did not care, of course; even though Lia attempted to fight him, Lawson won, killed her, and hid the body succesfully.

For the next few months, Lia's ghost haunted Lawson, doing any and everything to try and off him. She finally got that chance when Lawson walked into a Pawn Shop and stumbled across Miske's old PC, attempting to take it home with him, only for Miske to recognize the boy and pull him into the PC, killing him almost instantly and accidentally dragging Lia's soul inside with Lawson.

Lawson woke up in the Palmtree Panic Zone (Past), as an amalgamation of code. He was mashed between Fang the Sniper and Tails the Fox, with him not being sure what animal he was, simply calling himself a fox. He walked around for a bit before encountering Miske and Moot (Lia), who both went into a rage and chased him down.

Lawson tried to get away, before being cornered by Crazed Moot. Moot attempted to blow him up or set him on fire, and Lawson slashed at her with his knife, cutting a large gash in her back. He discovered that he could, in fact, harm his attackers here, and when Monsturous Miske approached him, he threatened to kill Miske if he came any closer. Miske, not being worried, rushed the wolf anyway, where Lawson stabbed at him and left some decent marks on his enemy.

**Trivia:**

* Lawson has had this name ever since his creation. Grasshopper was what he wanted to be called when he was first created, but after forgetting all about his life as an EXE, he no longer felt bothered by being called Lawson.
* Lawson's twin brother, Jacob, is the reicarnated soul of Spyke, Sonic's foil character from the Sonic SatAM lost episode. Lawson always pushes Jacob around, because his hatred for Spyke is still there.
* Lawson's favorite food are cheese quesadillas. This is because any fresh food that was not artifically made, or made as army rations were extremely rare on Mobius after Robotnik took over. Lawson doesn't know why, but eating any food that tastes fresh and real comforts him.
* Grasshopper is still a nickname for Lawson in his most recent life. This is because of his agility, rather than the ability to fly.
* Lawson is aromantic.
* At the present date, Lawson has been reborn 3 times.
* Lawson is ambidextrious, a skill he picked up during his time at the juevenille center.
* Sometimes, Lawson has nightmares about his past life as Grasshopper. He remembers how painful the experimentation was, how horrid the world was, and his jealousy of Spyke. Sometimes he remembers his death, as well, but passes them off as nothing more but dreams.
* Lawson is deaf in his left ear. Grasshopper had one of Robotnik's gizmos implanted onto his left ear, and when it exploded from overuse, it defeaned Grasshopper, which is why Lawson still has the deafness in his left ear.
* Lawson hates strong female characters, because he was killed by one. He also hates transgender people in general, because (as he puts it) "no matter how ya' see it, they're all just women, whether they's becoming one or de-coming one."
* Contary to his partial sniper coding, Lawson is extremely skilled with knives.
* Lawson is the only character in his story with a somewhat realistic weight for his age and species.
* Eyes faintly glow purple when he is fighting. They glow brighter with the intensity of the fights.
* Lawson loves punk rock. His favorite song is Undone by Weezer.

**Abilites:**

* Skilled with knives and bladed weapons.
* Uses his two tails to propel himself forward quickly. He can't use them to fly though (He isn't smart enough to figure it out, and his tails are too small to support his weight).
* One sharp tooth that can pierce flesh.
* Can physically harm both Moot and Miske, even if Miske has bonded with a human soul or transformed into a monster.

**Weaknesses:**

* Can be injured by Moot and Miske.
* Very vulnerable to fire, due to being burned in hell for so long.
* In he is killed, he WILL be returned to hell, which is a very big weakness for him, since already escaped once before.
* His temper and mouth tend to get him in trouble.
* Sensitive to flashing lights and sudden, loud noises.
* PTSD and trauma (from Grasshopper's memories).
* Has nightmares of his past life that traumatize him (because of the true horror of the state of his world and life as Grasshopper).
