DISTINGUISHING MARKS.
Rocket has accumulated his fair share of scrapes and bruises but that is nothing in comparison to the injury to his back; the mechanism used to torture him took the fur off of the backside in patches leaving the pink skin seeming raw and scarred. He’s very temperamental and secretive about it because its a constant reminder of the traumatic past he is desperate to continue running from.

SKILLS & ABILITIES
SKILLS/ABILITIES.
Rocket has a genius-level intellect though most aren't privileged enough to really see it for what it is considering most aren’t able to overcome the sass and sarcasm. The sarcasm is a reflex; Rocket does all that he can to deflect when approached about his true feelings about a situation. He knows that he is expendable, risk is not a large factor for him and he’s been known to be reckless. In spite of popular opinion he actually does
feel
and very deeply. Little is known about his traumatic past considering he mentions nothing about it to anyone, ever. He doesn’t like to think about the things that haunt his dreams and if it’s brought up he abruptly shuts it down in favor of better, easier things. Honest, he won’t hesitate to say what’s on his mind or butt into a conversation if he thinks an idea is awful or a plan won’t work. Insults equal defense - he gives nicknames to those that he actually does like and though his words can be harsh if he does end up close to someone it’s all in good fun.
He possesses the normal attributes of an Earth raccoon — speed (which has been additionally amplified by his training) and an acute sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch. Sharp claws allow him to scale walls, buildings, and trees with ease. While he’s sensitive about what he actually is often he finds that being an Earth creature comes in handy. Getting into small places, tight fits, or riding on someone’s shoulder to get a better look at a situation has proved beneficial in spite of his protest.
He is an accomplished starship pilot, an expert marksman wielding the two laser pistols that are of his own design which he carries, as well as having an affinity for heavy weapons. He is a master military tactician and leader, attributes that help him take charge of the Guardians of the Galaxy when Star-Lord is unavailable.
POWERS.
Rocket possesses no powers to speak of.
PERSONALITY
Adorable on the outside, and overflowing with sarcasm, undeniable wit, vanity and pessimism on the inside, you have Rocket Raccoon. Convinced to be the only one of his kind, Rocket is determined to prove himself to the rest of the galaxy that he is more than capable of holding his own. Such an attitude might be off-putting, especially from a creature that stands only at four-feet tall exactly, but it didn't come from a delightful past.
A creature born into a world of darkness, insanity and genetic tampering, Rocket is a product of progress. He didn't ask to be the way he is, and while he carries that burden on his tiny shoulders it seems an avenue for allowing him to continue to be successful in his endeavors. It's prominent in the way he carries himself, the way he talks around others and the lack of shame he has in taking things that don't belong to him for the betterment of himself and his allies.
He has a sense of self-justice; Rocket hasn't always been the jack-of-all-trades he is presently. His sordid past allowed him to hone specific skills necessary to survive in a dark world. The friends he has he keeps close, they're like family; anyone that crosses him will know his wrath. He does have a tender side that isn't shown often. Rocket can be very loyal, aggressive and emotional; and he does harbor a suggestion of being obsessive compulsive.
Rocket is not regretful about the things he says, he is a creature that speaks his mind whether someone in the group wants to hear it or not. He makes idle threats at times, too, just to make others believe he's scarier than he might appear.
HISTORY
Rocket Raccoon acts as the "Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant", an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so-called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship Rack 'n' Ruin, and he and his first mate Wal Rus (a talking walrus) come from the planet Halfworld in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld's chief law officer ("ranger") who protected the colony against various threats.
Hundreds of years ago, humanoids from an unidentified planet sought a world to use as an asylum for their outcast insane members, and settled on a planet located in the Keystone Quadrant, out by the stars of Sirus Major. There the psychiatrists created robots to care for their patients' particular brands of insanity. For years they studied the functions and dysfunctions of the mind, writing their observations in the starship Gideon's logbook until their funding was cut off and they were ordered back to their homeworld. As they left, they erected a forcefield-generating Galacian Wall around the star system to keep their uncured patients safe from the normal society that loathed them.
For generations the robots faithfully watched over their charges, whose children were born insane themselves, or affected by their insane environment. The Loonies, as they came to be known, created a religion worshiping the ancient Shrinks as gods, with straight-jacketed priests called the Good Humor Men venerating the logbook as their Bible, housing it in the Admissions Ward and performing rites to attain the Final Cure. Gaining sentence (due in part to radiation from a nearby star going nova), the supremely logical robots sought a way out from directly caring for their illogical charges. They played around with the genetics of the various companion animals left by the Shrinks and created a race of animal people to care for the Loonies while the robots retreated to their own side of the planet and began to work on a giant humanoid starship, and started to deduce how to shut down the Wall from the inside. Over time the planet came to be known as Halfworld, divided between the robots' industrial half, and the verdant half occupied by the others, with the robots building toys designed by the animals to keep the Loonies entertained, and making other machines and weapons for the animals' use only, and giving many animals requested cybernetic enhancements. Over time the animals created their own advanced society somewhat apart from the Loonies, with the major industry toymaking for the Loonies' amusements, and the Loonies paying for services rendered with animal cracker currencies.
Rocket Raccoon resurfaced as a member of the team chosen to accompany Star-Lord on his mission to stop a Phalanx infiltration of the Kree homeworld.
Presently he assisted in saving the Galaxy from one of the known Infinity Stones that had become in the possession of Ronan, whom was preparing to use it to destroy Xandar and enslave the world. He thought he had lost his companion, Groot, in the mix however Groot resurfaced and Rocket re-planted his companion in hopes of the plant surviving.
OTHER
He does not take well to being called or considered a rodent. He’s murdered humans and aliens alike in cold blood for much less than those few words.
Building things from scratch is one of his favorite pastimes - he won’t admit it but it helps shake those feelings that dredge up from the past. There is something to be said about crafting a weapon from a few parts, getting it functional, operable, and using it when the situation calls for it. Guns, ammo, bombs - Rocket has built an array of machines.
At first Rocket loathed the song “Hooked on a Feeling” but now every time that he hears it he thinks of Quill.
