The Dog Form of the Daqinren serves as heavy infantry in The Empire of Daqin, known for their prowess in holding trenches and urban room clearing operations. In civilian use, the Dog Form is almost as popular as the Tiger Form and is often preferred by men who may want to customize the genetic template to have a more wolf-like appearance.
Appearance
Dog Forms are well-toned and muscular, with a height range for Imperials typically falling between 5'8" and 5'2". Human civilians who choose to become Daqinren may decide on a height that suits their own aesthetic preferences. Dog traits include tails, ears, and sometimes hair. Among Imperial Dog Forms, the Tibetan Mastiff is the most popular choice, owing to its protective traits and distinctive large, thick afro-like hair on the head.
Enhancements
The Dog Form possesses a variety of enhancements that make them effective heavy infantry. Their muscular build provides them with enhanced strength, allowing them to carry heavy equipment and overpower enemies in close-quarters combat. Enhanced endurance allows Dog Forms to withstand the rigors of prolonged battles and maintain their positions in trenches or urban environments. Dog Forms have a heightened sense of smell, enabling them to track enemies and detect hidden dangers, such as traps or explosives. Their enhanced hearing allows Dog Forms to pick up on subtle sounds, making them adept at detecting enemies' movements and communications.
Dog Forms also have a higher pain tolerance, enabling them to continue fighting and complete their mission even when injured. A secondary brain located in the pelvic region serves as a backup repository for memories and knowledge, allowing for individual survival should the head be severely damaged. These enhancements, combined with their unique appearance and versatility, make the Dog Form a valuable asset to The Empire of Daqin both on and off the battlefield.
