DingoMask

**DingoMask** (ディンゴマスク *Dingomasuku*) was a Shadowblood Veteran with a dingo motif, a good friend of both OwlMask and SaberMask, and an RP character conceptualized and used by Gallibon the Destroyer.

## Personality

DingoMask was a nice, caring and loyal friend to both OwlMask and SaberMask. While he wasn't exactly the brightest, he was still smart enough to forge and create enhanced weaponry such as the Wrecking Flail. He was stated to be an expert on hunting and tracking skill as well and was an animal lover; even though he would wrestle with them sometimes. Despite not being part of FlamingoMask's family, he was often treated as such by OwlMask, ArcanaMask and FlamingoMask himself, viewing him like an uncle figure who always gave good advice.

## History

Not much is currently known about DingoMask's past. Back in the 1960's in Universe-95, he and OwlMask fought together for the forces of good and were good friend. DingoMask later retired and became a hermit for the wilderness, though he also kept in good touch with OwlMask and later SaberMask as well. He attended FlamingoMask's birth and helped escort ArcanaMask inside. He would from then on act also babysit FlamingoMask whenever OwlMask and ArcanaMask were busy. DingoMask and FlamingoMask got along well, with DingoMask even giving advice to help out FlamingoMask once and a while.

At this point in time, DingoMask also began to explore and go on missions with his other best friend, SaberMask. DingoMask was later called on for a very important mission from SaberMask, but before he could leave, he visited FlamingoMask one more time to give him an early 18th Birthday present, giving him the Wrecking Flail. DingoMask hung out with FlamingoMask one more time, saying that he had to go and would be gone for weeks, months or even years, but nonetheless, promised he'd be back.

DingoMask would then go explore down in an ancient civilization (which according to him was too much for him, which was saying something considered he loved danger) along with SaberMask, where there he found treasure and some ancient coins that could be used to henshin. However as he and SaberMask were making their ways out, ScorpionMask then appeared and stabbed his scorpion tail straight through DingoMask's chest, delivering a fatal blow against him. SaberMask tried to fight back, only to get blown back by ScorpionMask's force; ScorpionMask then ripped DingoMask's mask off and crushed it with his bare hands. ScorpionMask then laughed and retreated.

As DingoMask lay dying, SaberMask came over to him. DingoMask then told SaberMask to "continue on" without him, stating that he had done what he had to do, also telling him how much of a good friend he was. DingoMask then died in SaberMask's arms. SaberMask then took DingoMask's body aways and DingoMask was then later given a burial/funeral. However DingoMask did not die in vain, as with his weapons and devices he had created/found, he would let two new Shadowblood heroes rise....
