===POWERS===As for Krypto's powers, he possesses the same powers of that of Superman, but on a lower scale (much like the comparison between ordinary humans vs. ordinary dogs). They are as follows;
1. Fly. Krypto can fly at speeds of 100 mph. After flying at that speed for a long time, he will tire. Then his speed will drop, and, after a while, he will not be able to fly until he gets rested. Like most humans, after certain altitudes, he finds it hard to breathe. But, he can go higher than most because of the fact that he came from Krypton.
2. Heat Vision. His heat vision reaches up to 3,000 degrees Celsius. But the higher temperature he uses for prolonged periods of time, the faster it gets weaker. It takes a lot of energy to do this at high temperatures.
3. X-ray vision. He can see through anything with this power. For example, he could effortlessly see through a thin wall. But it would take much more energy to see through, say, several thick walls, and what he sees through the walls will be more hazy. Like his other powers, Krypto can quickly run out of steam using his powers, and then he couldn't use them.
4. Speech to both humans and other animals. This is pretty simple, except for the fact that whatever animal/person he was trying to talk to, it would depend on that creature's current mood. It's easy for Krypto to talk to a happy or calm person/animal, and it would take much more energy to talk to an excited or angry person/animal.
5. Super Strength. Krypto has super strength a lot like Powergirl has. Except for the fact that his super strength is proportionate to his smaller size and his species. He usually uses his front paws or his teeth/jaws for his super strength, but his back legs and other parts of his body can be used with his super strength too.
6. Super Speed. He goes at almost the same speed as Powergirl when using his super speed, so he goes at a little less than half the speed of sound. He can use his super speed when running on the ground, flying, digging, or anything else. He has a very high metabolism, so he must rest and eat plenty to keep up his super speed.
7. Enhanced Dog Senses. This is just like a regular dog's senses compared to a regular human's senses, except that this is a comparison between Superman and Krypto.
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===Likes: Long walks, playing frisbee, naps, hot dogs, swimming
Dislikes: Annoying people or animals, cats, villains,
Strengths: Super senses (compared to the average dog), can use super speed to dig deep holes quickly
Weaknesses: Kryptonite: (as follows)
Green Kryptonite: This kind of Kryptonite drains Krypto of his powers. Longer exposure to the green kryptonite causes him to weaken even beyond his powers. He will slowly lose strength in his legs and other body parts, and it will become difficult to keep his eyes open. Even longer exposure will cause him to pass out, and much more exposure after that could most likely kill him.
Red Kryptonite: This color of Kryptonite always has unpredictable (yet non-fatal and temporary) effects on Krypto, one effect being that once Krypto touches it, any human who touches Krypto will get a duplicate of his super powers for 24-48 hours. The effects of red kryptonite last for about 48 hours.
Yellow Kryptonite: This is a color of Kryptonite that, oddly enough, does not have the sasme effect on Krypto as it does on human Kryptonians. Instead of seeing his worst fears, the yellow kryptonite will put Krypto into a deep slumber in which he has terrible nightmares, and the effects will last up to 8 hours after he is no longer exposed to yellow kryptonite.
X-Kryptonite: This kind of kryptonite will cause Krypto's senses and powers to go haywire, thus they will not work properly until he is no longer exposed to the X-Kryptonite.
Kryptonite Plus: This is the rarest form of Kryptonite.It is also the most deadly of Kryptonites to Kryptonian dogs, as mere minutes of exposure can prove near fatal.
Blue Kryptonite: Blue Kryptonite will will quickly repossess Krypto's powers. It is painless, and he can get them back by quickly leaving the radiance area of the Blue Kryptonite. Long exposure will cause his powers to be held inside the Kryptonite. After that, the only way to get his powers back is for Krypto to break the blue kryptonite.
Black Kryptonite: This color of kryptonite brings out the evil personality in Krypto. Eventually, it will split Krypto into two dogs; one white one, which is the goodness in Krypto, and a black one, which represents all the accumulated evil in Krypto. This effect lasts for 24-36 hours.
Skills: All the skills of being a dog; honed senses, stronger muscles, ect, he can hear a call for help miles away, when he needs to go hero, he will go from a regular white dog with a gold collar to a super dog with a red cape and a collar tag shaped and looking like the classic "Superman" symbol.
Habits/Quirks: He spent much time disguised as a regular dog, and thus, the regular dog habits, such as chasing his tail and the urge to catch any thrown balls, can sometimes get the best of him even when he's doing super dog duties, he can bark excessively at something he deems suspicious
Personality: Krypto is a playful, easy-going dog who loves to relax and have fun. Even so, he knows when it's time to have fun and goof off, and when it's time to be serious and fight.
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family: Krypto's entire family consists of super dogs. His great grandfather was Vypto, his grandfather was Nypto, and his father was Zypto. Zypto had wings because of a serum he was given. Nothing is known about his mother's side of the family.
Place of Origin: Krypton
History: Krypto was originally Superman's pet. When Superman's dad created an experimental rocket ship, he put Krypto in it to test it. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned, leaving Krypto in the rocket, which was then hurtling towards planet Earth.
One day on Krypton, not long before the destruction of Krypton...Because of the impending destruction of Krypton, Superman's dad Jor-El was testing a rocket to see if it was safe enough for interstellar travel. He had put a small white puppy named Krypto in it to test it. Things were going pretty well.
Until Krypto decided to bite the wires. Several wires split, and this put him into a deep, deep sleep. The rocket then began heading towards Earth.
Superman was getting worried, so he took an emergency rocket and followed Krypto's rocket.
By the time Krypto reached Earth, he was a fully grown dog. When he emerged, he was met by Superman. Superman, since he had been to Earth before, decided to take Krypto with him to the Fortress of Solitude.
Not too long after living there for a while, Superman brought home a teenage girl. Explaining things to Krypto, Superman told him that the girl's name was Kara, and, since she had the same powers as him and was his cousin, she would be living with them. She would pass as Supergirl. Alas, Krypto didn't trust her. A couple months later, though, she left.
One day, there was trouble in the Fortress of Solitude. Someone had decided it would be OK to set the Fortress to blow up in 24 hours. Krypto was worried, but it had to be dealt with tomorrow, since it was midnight when they discovered it.
In the morning, Krypto was awoken by loud sirens. He shot out of his bed, and searched the entire Fortress for Superman, or maybe even Batman. But no matter how hard he looked, they were gone! Even worse, the Fortress was going to explode in less than 10 minutes! Krypto ran down the hall and put his paw on the emergency scanner. The door opened, and Krypto ran into it. He leapt into the escape pod, and pressed the escape button.
Just then, the Fortress began exploding. One of the explosions hit the escape pod just as it was flying out. This caused the escape pod's coordinates to a place called..
Jump City.
The escape pod crashed, and, after shaking off the dizziness, he realized that he had landed. He knew he would have to come out, so he decided to get it over with now.
He exited the pod, and was amazed at where he had landed. He had landed in a small crevice surrounded by a small plain of grass. Not even a mile away was a large city. Krypto decided to check it out.
Currently, Krypto was wearing just his gold collar. He decided not to change into his super collar and cape, and just fly there.
(About here is when the sample RP starts, but it's still kind of history because this happened right after)
Once he arrived at the edge of the city, he landed. Krypto had decided not to use his powers in this city, not sure if these people would be familiar or scared of a super powered dog. He then entered the city to see many people bustling around the streets. He went into the alleys and traveled that way. Suddenly, he heard a cry for help.
"Somebody help! Someone's robbing the bank!" It was a female voice.
Krypto ran towards the source of the yell. When he arrived, he saw a man in a yellow and white suit with a light bulb symbol on his chest. Just as he was about to move in and attack the criminal, he heard a teenager boy's voice calling out a command.
"Titans, go!" It was Robin. Krypto had heard stories about the boy wonder from Superman. He was supposed to be Batman's sidekick, but apparently, he had recently quit and went to a place called Jump City.
"This must be Jump City, then." Krypto thought.
As he watched, four other teens; apparently the "Titans"; followed suit of Robin.
Watching their battle, Krypto discovered several things. The thief's name was Dr. Light, and he had met the Titans before. The team of teens was called Teen Titans, and Robin was the leader. The other members were a green skinned, transforming, 13-year old boy named Beast Boy, an alien girl name Starfire, a half mechanical man named Cyborg, and a girl with a black cloak named Raven.
After the battle, Krypto followed the Teen Titans on their way home to their base, which was a giant T-shaped building located on a island near the bridge of Jump City.
"So, this is Jump City. Crimes are committed a lot. A group of teenagers called the Teen Titans fight local crime. Hm.. I guess I can stay here and help. And to keep low profile, I'll only fight at night. I guess now, I'll be Krypto, the nightly super powered dog hero of Jump City."
