Current Power: Canine Manipulation
RPG's current situation isn't very preferable. Anywhere else, he wouldn't mind this as much. Of course, he'd still get a bit bothered by the mass of dogs gathered around him, but it was nice of them to keep him company. Unfortunately, this city has quite a few supers that just adore cats and even have powers and costumes based on them. Up until now, he was reluctant in stepping out of the shadows and making his real superhero debut. Somehow, the power RPG receives the night that he decides to make himself known to the city was that of heresy to a considerable amount of the supers that inhabit it.
While he'd love to run home and lounge around until he can change his powers again, it's quite difficult getting around unnoticed with a large party of dogs. Luckily, there wasn't anyone out on the streets of the suburbs this late at night. Or so it seemed until the dogs with better noses picked up on odd scents, while the dogs with better ears picked up on strange sounds. Simultaneously, each dog held their head up and howled. "Guys, can you not do that? Pretty please? Guys?" Not a very preferable event in a not very preferable situation.
RPG can only hope that his poor soul doesn't cross paths with a cat-loving super.

Today was an...odd day, to say the least.
First of all, every dog in the city was heading towards a single point, their scent made that obvious enough. Next of all, the packs of dogs Lobisomem had come to know barely listened to them, only the most loyal of the groups currently gathered around them.
Their little pack seemed to be leading them somewhere, where all the scents almost became sickening in its thickness. Just in case, Lobisomem had reverted to a humanoid form, shifting the gnawing hunger to the very back of their mind.
The view of the cause was even weirder, some dude in a costume that did not favors in deciphering his powers. Lobisomem couldn't even catch his scent, the many, many dogs around him completely smothering the scent.
Damn, was he a friend or foe? And why'd he have to take my dogs!?
They flexed their claws threatningly as they stepped into view, relaxing their mouth until their fangs sunk into regularity. They huffed disapprovally at the mutts around the new Super as they advanced, as if to chastise them for choosing a new master.
"Who...are you?" They croaked in their titular scratchy voice.

Geata had come to expect strange occurrences, and for those strange occurrences to involve other supers. That still didn't make those strange occurrences or the supers involved any less strange. So when Geata noticed all sorts of dogs going in the same general direction, he knew he was about to have a weird night.
Using his portals to follow one particular pack of strays at a reasonable pace, it didn't take long for him to come upon one of the weirdest things he had seen to date: a swarm of dogs surrounding a ridiculous looking person who Geata could only hope was a super, and another supposed super approaching said ridiculous super.
With a grin hidden behind his mask, Geata decided to wait a moment to see how things started out. Whichever way things went, though, he was certain of one thing about the situation.
He was going to be petting a lot of dogs tonight.

Oh geez man, this ain't gonna be good.
A figure of odd shape with a gruff voice to boot approached his dog companions and seemed like he was picking a fight with them. The figure asking from across the lake of dogs didn't seem very heroic. While RPG sensed that they didn't seem very villainous either, they were quite intimidating. The most noticeable to him was that his powers of canine manipulation seemed to somewhat recognize him as a kind of wolf, but the traces of canine for the wolf creature appeared weaker than the actual dogs around him.
Upon the asking of who RPG was, a brilliant idea was formulated. RPG readied his best medieval voice.
"Greetings Wolfbark! I am Dogma, the dog magician! Quite the conundrum I have here, wouldn't one say? But fear not, my powers allow the act of leading these little ones. And also the big ones. The medium ones just as well! Forsooth, it gets arduous in the commanding of a number as large as this. But worry not, friend! I have things under control, for I have been training in the powerful dog arts for quite some time! Now may I ask who art thou?"
It shouldn't hurt his debut just to mess with this one guy, right? At that moment, RPG just remembered how intimidating and seemingly strong this figure was. RPG can only hope that he didn't tick them off.

He was scared, Lobisomem could almost feel it right before he covered it up. What followed made Lobisomem wonder if they should have been scarier.
Right away, they were offended by his choice of calling them "Wolfbark", then came his dubious name afterward. They covered their eyes and nose for a moment to let their body revert to a more human form, not that you would know it, with their wolf pelt draped over them.
What to do with this guy, they could just walk away, couldn't they? Still, then they'd be seeing this guy again and right now, that seemed about as pleasant as diving into a dumpster. They didn't believe the fact he knew how to control these dogs, either he was very loose with discipline, or he didn't give a damn if they were baying like this. Big Martin's cats were far more a pack than this actual pack!
Their eyes snapped open as he got to the part of who Lobisomem was, fucking finally! Their mind was still replaying the little insulting banter he had given them, maybe it was time for some banter back!
"Depends on who you ask." They growled, literally growled, it was a sound that should never come out of a human mouth, "Ask the news, I'm a freak of nature and a monster...Ask the city...I'm a vigilante...or a monster, they're not picky..."
They smiled as they recalled the description that one women had shrieked at them, "I've even been a demon or dragon...sometimes both, as I said, they're not fucking picky." They started walking forward, rather proud of how intimidating their speech was, "Which would you like to meet?"
If this didn't paint out how they felt over the little insulting demeanour he gave them, nothing short of transformation would.

Geata couldn't help but bury his face in his hands when the paper bag super started speaking. He was actually rooting for the other super playing the intimidating card. Still, as much as he couldn't help but think Baghead might deserve a lovetap or several, he didn't particularly want to watch a murder. With a sigh and a smile, he stepped out to where he could be seen. Once he was sure he had been spotted, he opened a portal and appeared directly between the two.
"Listen, Baghead, as important as a sense of humor is, it isn't very useful when being approached by an unknown entity." He kept his look cool, putting off an air of annoyance towards the super before he turned to said entity. "And you. Stupidity isn't a crime. Cut the moron some slack, yeah?" He put his hands up by his head and took a step forward towards the animalistic super. "I'm not an enemy here, unless you decide to make me one, okay? Let's start by giving our preferred names. I'll go first. I'm Geata, portal master extraordinaire, and more recently nominated for number one super errand boy." He took a bow towards the wolf pelt clad person as he turned his head towards the other.
"That's your cue to give a name that doesn't irritate the super," he said flatly. "Don't disappoint, kid."

Staring at Wolfbark, the intimidating speech that the old dog seemed proud for would've sent chills down his spine. RPG was anticipating that the speech were to go on for longer, so his attention was starting to drift. But the mentioning of demons and dragons widened his eyes. The thought of a half-demon, half-dragon, and half-wolf creature amazed him. Yet, they were standing in front of him. All his fear turned into fascination.
Before RPG could express the wonders in his mind, a person shows up from a portal. RPG almost didn't notice the Aperture Science worker due to his close observation of the mythical creature. Another super had appeared, albeit not as cool.
"Hey, you're the moron, moron!" Although, reintroducing himself was probably a good idea, so RPG swiftly turned to the wolf creature. "I'm RPG, dude! How'd you become like that? Radioactive demon, dragon, and wolf bites?" Staring with sparkling eyes of wonder, RPG awaited the wolf creature's answer. Every dog in the surrounding area stared intently along with RPG, following his actions.
RPG, completely forgetting that Geata was standing there, abruptly turned to him and disregarded Wolfbark for a moment. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Hey, I'm RPG in case you didn't hear earlier! I have the power of canine manipulation! Oh, and these are my dog friends! Don't worry, they don't bite unless I tell them to! They do like howling, though."

Lobisomem jerked to a stop as a teleporting man suddenly appeared in front of them and their target. His face was...actually familiar, but their mind wasn't letting them dwell on that too long. They blew out a defiant breath and rolled their eyes at his comments, "I wasn't going to kill him...seriously." They completely meant this, but they supposed it was doubtful.
Reluctantly, they released the transformation again, trying really harder to ignore the practical collapse in their stomach. They hated the idea of giving their name, especially to this little moron, "Rrr...Lobisomem..." The name was delivered so bluntly and at almost like a whisper, so Geata and RPG would have to listen to hear their name.
RPG'S next question sure didn't amuse them more than anything else that had come out of his mouth, he would see for a brief moment their eyes flashing red, before they blinked away the color, "How the hell should I know!?" They spat, though they didn't seem particularly mad at RPG, the very question on the discovery of their powers seemed infuriating to them, "Don't ask me something stupid like that."
They peered at the dogs suspiciously, "And what the hell are you going to do with them!?" Now, they looked angry at him, even beckoning at the dogs to try to get them to their side.

Geata sighed. Baghead gave a name (which was as ridiculous as his costume), but then went right back to almost going out of his way to irritate Lobisomem. And not only that, he was stupid enough get onto his benefactor in the situation! "Hey, dimwit," he said flatly, "I'm the one stepping in to keep you in one piece. Appreciation would- surprisingly enough- be appreciated. And you're making our friend hear angrier."
He turned to Lobisomem and his voice became exponentially more cheerful. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you mind if I referred to you as Lobi, for short? Your full name is quite the mouth full, but I don't want to be rude." He paused a moment before continuing, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "Thanks for not killing him."
He then turned back to Baghead, his voice becoming flat once again. "It's also nice to meet you, RPG. Now shut up and let me talk you out of this."
