Punisher Samantha

Unkillable. Unstoppable. Loyal. Misanthropic. Goth.

Samantha always just wanted to do good in this world. She just wanted to show the lovely side of the world, to teach and to bring cheer. All of that was stolen away from her during a freak gang shootout during a fateful day as a scout's master. The loss of life having broken her to a bitter vigilante that hardly resembles her younger years. Now she lives in a van filled with weapons, armed to the teeth as she seeks to brutally seeking to punish those that enjoy tormenting the innocent.

Samantha is an Anthro border collie that grew up a rather normal life in Minnesota named Samantha, but she also goes by Sammie or just Sam. Growing up in a small town. Her school life was quite simple: Chase hunky boys and the occasional pretty gals and try to get on the track and cheerleading team. During her home practices character found out she was strangely durable and resistant to pain which allowed her to do more daring cheers that had the result of earning her place on her high school team, and then the college team later on. Despite becoming quite popular, character never let it really go to her head staying quite sweet in a rather ditzy and often sultry way. Flirting and getting intimately involved with both bookish nerds and jocks alike throughout her academic career. This earned her the title of "sweetheart" to many of her male peers and envious title of "Whore." from many other cheerleaders excluding her friends. Her preppy and bright hope that she had for the future being able to inspire many. Something that she has fully cut off these days tragically.

After college Samantha had a rather rough time figuring out her path and would find it through the path of the army. Going into bootcamp to start working her way up through the ranks thanks to her durability and athleticism. This led her to joining the ranks of the 82nd airborne. Parachuting into enemy lines and helping to support other units during her line of service and would be given the honorable rank as a Lieutenant. Her shooting skills having completely decimated her boot camp's target range earning her a proud S rank by her intimidated instructor who put that she was a soldier "Built to Destroy."

She also made friends. She met a grumpy Vixen Anthro by the name of Peggy Patterson who became her captain, and would meet a marine attached to her unit, a snarky male cat by the name of Bucky. Both becoming close friends over her time in the service. She had earned quite a reputation of being a unkillable soldier despite her bright natured ditziness as she has had some gnarly injuries that have left battle scars throughout her body. From getting shot. Bombed by shrapnel. Burned by a flamethrower unit in combat and taking a pretty bad bayonet wound through the jaw while training. Earning a tattoo of a wolf skull getting a knife stabbed up into it with the words "HARD TO KILL." on her shoulder to cover up her burns Given to her by a group of soldiers that wanted to help cover up her burn scars. She also developed some interesting habits that surprised many other soldiers, as she had tendency to wag her tail when spotting enemy targets, or while firing her rifle at hostiles. Finding it exciting to get into a fight. She also had a tendency to strip when not in combat when the forward operating bases became too hot for her comfort, or sometimes in combat when she's feeling bold. She also enjoys putting flower and heart stickers on her body armor and weapons for fun, though now its far more grim. Skulls carved into the iron. She also has an impressive ability to carry heavy weapons and backpacks full of ammunition without effort. Being the strongest soldier of her unit. She also has a deep love for army puns now. Much to Captain's Patterson's dismay back then.

Not all of Samantha's journey has been a fun ride though even before the accident. Her durability does in fact have some limitations as a piece of shrapnel completely tore through her groin and took out her ovaries leaving her infertile from now on. While Her naturally bright tone and playful dark jokes that a guy won't need to use a condom with her might make it seem she has come to terms with it, the fact that that she repeats it to all of her dates shows that it's probably a actual traumatic experience and probably is still coming to terms that she will probably never be a mother. It should also be a startling fact that she's to the point where she doesn't really flinch when taking an injury, even if its normally grievous to a standard soldier showing that her tolerance has grown to an unsettling level. However she is in fact a warrior, no matter how many flower stickers she sticks onto the army trucks, her rifle, she has a determination that shines through every engagement. She has captured enemy soldiers, she has neutralized enemy officers. She supposedly even headbutted an enemy captain with a claymore mine attached to her helmet and somehow survived completely intact with just a bloody nose. This horrifying display of immortality has some soldiers thinking she is a demigod, for good reason of course. She has multiple purple heart accommodations at this point. The medics have also grown to being used to putting her semi back together and wondering exactly how she was able to function.

Samantha speaks with a Minnesotan accent because of her former home, using mashed together like "Dontcha know" and "Fer" instead of "For" showing her heritage often and rather gets quite excited for cheese because of it.

As her deployment ended, she would return to the lower 48 with a calmer promotion as a drill sergeant for the other troops for awhile before fully retiring and soon she became a scout leader. Always having a fun love for nature. This was also a way to cope for the loss of her ovaries. Letting her become a guardian to her eager scouts and allowing her to teach and pass on her knowledge to somebody. This was her dream job just being able to help people. She especially got an attachment to three scouts, Tommy an anthro boar goat. Junior. A half wolf and sheep. And Edith a quiet anthro horse. These three would win over her heart becoming her best scouts and frankly closest thing she had to kids. Samantha happily taught them neat tricks from the army. Showing them the beauty of nature. Over the summer Samantha had the best time of her life keeping them happy. Then all it took was one damn day to ruin it all. During their last week in the scouts. The three had went exploring while Samantha had to fix her tent. And they wandered right into a backwoods gang war that went wrong. Gunfire rang out and Samantha arrived way too late to save them. But not late enough to put every single lowly thug in the ground after breaking the arm of one, stealing his gun and blasting through most of them. When the cops came it took a lot to sedate a very hysterical Sam.

Three little body bags beside mourning parents burned into her mind. Samantha at first tried to return to her normal life. Yet even the simplest of things that once made her happy felt numb, cold, dead. It was almost as if her life up to this point was a lie. How could one enjoy the sunshine when she had failed to protect the scout trio. Samantha was destroyed by the incident as she began to feel one thing. Pure unbridled rage. Especially when the case went cold and the cops stopped looking for the criminals. The bullets had followed her home. Into the place of safety where she shouldn't live in fear and yet some scum bags decided to light up a campsite full of innocents. And she found herself gearing up. Now clad in all black. Her skull emblem of her Tattoo spray painted on a black shirt to a boney wolf skull. She quickly began to punish every single Sadist. Mobster. Murderer. Mercenaries and Corrupt officials. that she could get her hands on. Bringing the warzone to them. As she hunts them for every single second those little body bags pop back up in her mind. Becoming a viscous vigilante known as the Punisher. Flower stickers turned into black spray-painted skulls. A smiling border collie girl turned into a sharp toothed snarling monster. Developing a affinity for a far more Goth and punk like aesthetic with morbid colors.

Samantha now lives her life as a Ghost. Living in a black plated Van that she drives to city to city. And wherever she goes the underworld quickly finds out she is in town as their enforcers end up in body bags. On meat hooks. or even far, far worse. Samantha has chosen a path of body parts and blood to get back at those who would torment in the innocent.

This is not a glamorous life as its what is left of one that fell apart. The back of her van where she sleeps in is full of dirty clothes that she interchanges. It can take weeks before she trys to get them washed . Some that she has been shot or stabbed in. There is a army crate where she keeps a viscous arsenal of wicked weapons not meant for civilians. Along with it is her own medical kit having put herself back together often. Her scars are even worse then the army. It completely shows her unkillable nature. and tools that she uses to "Persuade" The ones she needs information from.

Samantha does not kill all criminals. Just the ones that actively hurt people and get enjoyment out of it. She deals with arms dealers to get better weapons and often takes non violent informants from within the gang, using intimidation or promising them freedom if they help bring their bosses down. She does have a friend by the name of Marylin. A opossum girl who is very tech savvy. Samantha captured the opossum girl during a job and proceeded to act like she was heating up sharp metal only to stick a popsicle to her back making the nerdy opossum girl scream in fear. Showing that Samantha still had that playful side to her. Samantha recruited Marylin and helped the Hacker get free from the gang that owned her. And the two often help coordinate with each other. Marylin being able to use her skills to give Samantha a edge. Marylin also help's Keep Samantha stable. Trying to keep the Dog girl from completely going in guns blazing and alone like Samantha wants to do often. And Occasionally Marylin tries to convince Samantha to retire. Wanting her friend to go live a peaceful life.But Sam finds herself driven to the opposite. She fully wants to test her immortality though she will rarely reveal it. This mission is a death wish. Though she is tired of being miserable. But whatever broke inside her is going to be hard to put back together.

Her romances are often just one night stands these days. Since she thinks she is too damaged for a full relationship. But she will often eat as much protein from their house as she can. Or use their shower.

She is neutral on other vigilantes though she can grow to respect ones that earn it. However if she finds any using her skull as a way to mimic her. She will react in pure disgust since that symbol is the personification of her deathwish. To find out someone wants to be her is a sickening thought after all the pain she has been through. If she saves anyone, she usually keeps her distance after they are safe, believing herself to be a omen of bad luck. However one of the biggest more important self rules that she has is that she will never purposely hurt a innocent person, so much so if by some horrible chance she finds herself with innocent blood on her hands it may even destroy her further, causing her to try to speed her destruction up significantly.

With nothing else to fight for. Samantha does the one thing she believes keeps the scum of the earth. Even as law enforcement tries to grab her to stop her wrathful trip down the road of sorrow. Though to her its not about revenge, its about Punishment.

Samantha speaks with a Minnesotan northern accent because of her former home, using mashed together like "Dontcha know" and "Fer" instead of "For" showing her heritage often and rather gets quite excited for cheese because of it.

Being a anthro Border Collie, main colors on her fur is black and white. With black spots going cutely around her eyes along with her ears and black fur that high lights her outer body while white fur high lights her inner fur. She also has many suture scars across her arms, legs and one going at the edge of her right cheek where her face took some shrapnel. Samantha's chest is quite impressive in its size. There is some burn scars on her shoulder where fire scorched her fur, one scar brutally going up over the right side of her head. Her outfit is that of a punk style black skirt with a matching black tank top that shows off her midriff and has no sleeves to show her muscles. with a white wolf skull over her chest and belly, which mimics the skull she has on her tattoo. She also wears her black underwear with her thigh highs over her scarred legs with black combat boots. She often wears dark eyeliner and much black make up.
