Medical Information: Rocket is an artificially evolved North American raccoon, Procyon lotor, granted sentience & intelligence in the human range, the power of speech, a bipedal posture, and a more opposable thumb. His lifespan has also (apparently) been increased beyond the ~16 year maximum for raccoons in the wild. As a raccoon, Rocket possesses keen senses of smell and hearing along with excellent night vision.
What's Okay to Mention: ... talking space raccoon. He's seen it all. Go nuts.
Note for the Psychics: Rocket is familiar with telepathic communication ("teeping," in his parlance) and with being psychically linked to his teammates, so if you get in his head he won't be too surprised. He has no psychic defenses, but knows how to keep his thoughts to himself.
Abilities: Rocket is a veteran adventurer with considerable combat experience. He is an excellent marksman with both light and heavy weapons, a munitions/demolitions specialist, a skilled interstellar pilot, and a capable hacker. Possibly as an effect of his artificial evolution, Rocket exhibits intuitive tactical reasoning--for some reason or another, 9 times out of 10 his chosen strategy plays out positive. Thanks to his membership in the Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket has access to a small armory's worth of both kinetic and energy-based weaponry, but displays particular fondness for a small pistol resembling an Earth Luger Parabellum, and for numerous BFGs.
Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: Sure.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Talk to me first, please!
Maim/Murder/Death: Again, talk to me first, please!
Cooking: Actually yes! Rocket is both a gourmet and a gourmand.
