Captain Hammer

Brawny. Heroic. Gentle. Stoic.

Agent Hammerhead or just hammer was one of the best naval special forces of his time, with good reason. A great white shark he is naturally built to be a ferocious killing machine, and there was a time he would of cockily said that he was the scariest thing in the ocean. Now he knows that's not true because when the bigger fish spots you, no amount of training will save your life.

Born in California. A anthro great white shark who would be known as Captain Hammer grew up on the sunny beaches. And a large view of the ocean. He instantly fell in love with his people's ancient home and often after school he would go home to surf. Being a naturally prolific swimmer, he felt his home was the sea. And being around a few navy bases. The thought of joining and securing him a job at sea wasn't a bad one and with the high rise of piracy across the ocean, the patriotic ads of being willing to keep the seas safe inspired him. So after high school he signed up and joined the navy. It became clear to his superiors that he was a near perfect soldier. Good morales. Fast reaction time. The strength of a OX with how fit he was. One commander. A hammerhead named Karran especially took a liking to the Great White. Seeing him as a template for what a soldier could be as a idea brewed in thevold commander's head. It was with Karran's order that HAMMER SECURITIES. A PMC founded by the United States to combat the rise piracy was founded. As Karran and his Co commander. A leopard seal by the name of Nyx. Soon begin to recruit from all across the armed forces. Finding aquatic anthros to train into commandos to take back ships from the pirates.

And of course that great white that had impressed Karran so much was placed as Captain in this team. Given the codename Hammer to show that he had inspired the company itself. Hammer of course took this with pride. Not many know his real name and possibly not many ever will. As he decided to fully give himself to the armed forces. Feeling that his life before was not really worth remembering, though a few people would fully get his trust to earn his name.

Hammer would show heroism on the variety of missions battling a variety of pirates. From slavers to gun smugglers. He has rescued hostages from high-risk missions. He also has a brutal way of fighting. Being both calculating while having the sheer size and body of a organic war machine. A good body slam by him can break ribs. And in the water he is a nightmare to face in melee. His speed typically doubled then what he is able to do on land.

Along the way he would also meet an bronze colored Anthro sawshark by the name of Istio, a Japanese American recon expert and skilled knife fighter, He would also meet the firey red hammerhead Phyrna who was commander Karran's daughter. Both having joined the company a little after him. Together the three would form a bond together, though Karran understandably kept Phyrna mostly out of action to protect her. Then Operation abyss happened. And everything fell apart.

It was a standard mission on the seabed floor. The platoon, made up of sharks would intercept a smuggler pirate convoy that was carrying some exotic cargo. The operation would go as plan, until the door of the convoy bursted open. It turned out this was not a container. But a cage, and what ever was inside started to rip through the ranks of the platoon, a beast of supernatural origin. Much to hammer's horror as he saw his friends. Many people he trained with, become bloody chunks in the water. Commander Karran suffering this fate as the platoon. The entire company was decimated, most veteran members ending up KIA, and spurring a rescue mission by commander Nyx and Phyrna with the rest of the scouts, barely saving the last remaining few of the platoon, The hostile entity having killed him first out the entire platoon.

The company was left in disgraced, and commander Nyx had to take the full blame of the entire operation from both top brass generals and even by the survivors. Hammer was in a shell shock state after this. The sea felt alien to him, a shame to his pride as he started to develop thalassophobia in response to trauma. As he was discharged when it became apparent that he was unfit to serve along with the fact that he was a vocal critic of the commanders who came after Nyx and Karran, as he found out many of them were letting pirates go for a bribe. he tried his best to fit into the civilian sector, but often utterly failed. Being a great white the jobs that often were offered were aquatic. Something that of course didn't go well.

Despite trying to go back to civilian life. The pirates constant growth and the violent crimes that were in the news finally drove Hammer to be a free lance mercenary. Seeing that the PMC underneath its shady owners weren't going to stop it.

He spent months tracking and freeing slaves. Along with bringing violent criminals to justice. It was during this time he would meet Dasha. A Russian grizzly bear woman. Who was also a freelancer. Both would bond over the coming missions. Becoming intimately close after a romantic night.

His actions were not unnoticed. Phyrna having recognized her captain on the television. Soon tracked him down. Also feeling unsatisfied with civilian life. And came to join his rogue commando group. Of course the PMC noticed this, and sent out a brainwashed Istio. Who they sent to kill his former teammates to mop up loose ends. Thankfully Istio was able to break out of the brainwashing. and was able to join the new team himself. Finally Commander Nyx. Now in intelligence arrived and despite a small sour clash. She did join the team. and together they quickly grappled and power struggled HAMMER Securities away from its shady owners. Taking down the corrupt officials and regaining the company.

The new HAMMER securities is aquatic like the original though. Now having many land-based agents. It seems that the company will have a bright future.

Hammer's personality is of a dutiful soldier. and a near hero level of devotion to saving lives when he can. He seems to have taken a big dislike to kidnappers and slavers in particular, finding the practice horrifying and he has cracked the skulls of many criminals who have faced his wraith. Outside of action. Hammer is a very gentle soul, and quite stoic, though he enjoys competition like arm wrestling or shooting contests something to show his skills off can bring a smile on his face. His fear of water is mainly from the dark. He does not like going out at night. He isn't completely against swimming though only when its on his terms. Mainly it needs to be a in a well lit area and often he will not be alone. He tries to stay stoic when someone asks him on why he fears it. Often he does the after-action reports for the company, the paper work calming him to a degree. He also owns a grizzly bear plushie with a soviet Red star on the chest. A gift of his paramour it seems. The name Hammerhead or just hammer was due to the fact of a high tech combat helmet that was shaped like a hammerhead's skull. The helmet was unfortunately destroyed by a brainwashed Istio, and was not able to be recovered. Hammer often rolls his eyes when someone gives him lip about the fact that he is not a hammerhead but a great white. Phyrna herself playfully acting offended by the concept though he knows that it was a joke, he still gets grumpy when someone says the code name is redundant with the helmet gone.

Of course his stoicism can be cracked, If someone plays their cards right with flirting. Dasha having mastered on what gets the shark to blush. Despite the two having favoritism towards each other Dasha earning the right to know hammer's True Name from how close they have gotten, But their love lives are quite open with the other members of the PMC like most of the members. Both having relationships with their other squadmates.

Hammer's Appearance is of a anthro great white shark. He is muscular and tall. Grey shark skin coats his body with a whiter tone on his underbelly. He has the twin sharks surrounding a warhammer tattoo of the PMC company on his upper left arm. On the same arm right beside his elbow is long slash scars from whatever beast attacked him. It's also marks his left side of his torso. He has a shark fin on the back of his head and one on his spine. He often wears his black commando uniform. Which is quite armored in the chest. The arms lacking sleeves to show off his muscular arms and to allow for movement. Its also built for the water. Being well insulated to allow him to dive in it. He also often wears black shorts for when in the gym typically using a black T shirt or just going shirtless.
