## Biography

### Appearance

Bombs Away is a tall, strong griffon with the lower body of a lion and the upper body of a Burmese chicken. He has a bright red crest of feathers on his head. His power markings manifest in the form of a golden gradient in his tail. In uniform, Bombs Away wears a white jacket and golden shorts with golden sleeves covering the bases of his wings. He also wears a medallion around his neck that is shaped like an egg, as well as a half mask that causes his eyes to appear entirely white and connects around the bases of his ears.

### Personality

Bombs Away is known to be somewhat boisterous and talkative, as well as highly social and affectionate. He can often be seen hugging members of his team after a successful fight or putting a claw on the shoulder or whoever he is talking to. He is fairly jovial and doesn't like to take himself too seriously, frequently cracking jokes during combat and acknowledging the silliness of his power during panels and events. He has a high self esteem and doesn't mind being one of the lower ranking team leaders in Delta Host.

### Powers & Abilities

Bombs Away utilizes an egg manipulation core that allows him to fire explosive eggs of varying sizes at his opponents, though typically he opts to only utilize the standard size of a chicken egg. His egg projectiles explode violently on impact and his manipulation abilities allow him to hone them directly onto targets, making them a massive projectile threat.
