Biography:
Born and raised in Empire City to a loving couple, his father a decorated WWII veteran turned cop, Robert tried to make the most of it living in a city that was plagued by corruption. Though his family struggled throughout the years living in Empire City, they remained close as a family could ever be. Things got worse as Robert would constantly be bullied or be attacks by gangs of thugs whenever he left the safety of his apartment. It wasn't better for his father, Colton as he was one of the very few honest cops in a corrupt precinct. It would when he turned fifteen that he had first caught a glimpse of Martial Arts on TV as he not only witnessed people practicing Karate, but he saw another form being performed by a man who was known worldwide for changing not only movie genres, but in Martial Arts as well; Lee Jun Fan or Bruce Lee as everyone had come to know him as. Though Robert was severely confused at first, he began to realize that each Asian country had it's own form of combat and China's main form of combat, as well as it's national sport, was known as "Kung Fu". What really had the young grizzly entranced was the form of Martial Arts that Bruce had created, Jeet Kune Do or JKD for short. Though he had to save up some money, keep this whole thing a secret, especially from Chinese Martial Artists, most of which were closed-minded about teaching non-Chinese Kung Fu, despite there being some who wanted to. He didn't even tell his parents, fearing that they wouldn't understand that he wanted to protect and help innocent people in the city they lived in. Only only people he ever told about JKD were his two closest friends, a young Chinese immigrant panda named Fa Wai Ping (or Fred as he preferred to be called), who was the son of Yip Ping, a fellow WWII soldier from Colton's platoon. The other was a young cougar named Amber Longriver, who's family was from the same Cherokee tribe as Robert's family. Tragedy would hit the young grizzly when he turned seventeen when not only did Bruce Lee pass away, but his father was framed for a crime he never committed and was arrested by corrupt detective, John Flass. Deciding that enough was enough, Robert put his self-training to the test by going up against the very gang that would attack constantly him, which a nearly fatal mistake. The young grizzly would've been killed, if it hadn't been for the intervention of a middle-aged Chinese monitor lizard named Chao Sie, who was a Master of Chinese Kung Fu. After being rescued by Chao, Robert was taken to the middle-aged reptiles home, which was also a restaurant, to nursed back to health. It was after Chao introduced himself that he admired Robert's courage, but the young grizzly had long ways to go and was offered to learn Kung Fu, in exchange for working in the restaurant. Robert was excited, but asked if Fred and Amber could learn if they accepted to work as well, to which the monitor replied that he would teach whoever wanted to learn. It'd only be a few months later that Chao revealed his true intensions for wanting to take up Robert, the young grizzly was chosen by an ancient Chinese artifact, a golden orb known as the Yongsheng Ren; the Eternal Ember. Though Robert was skeptical at first as Chao explained the legend and the power the orb withheld (Bruce aLee was even a chosen wielder before he was), his beliefs were soon changed when the orb bonded with him. Marveling at the new power he now held in his hands, Robert decided that he would use it to help Empire City. Chao would also introduce Robert to a blind Filipino Askal Eskrimador named Dakila Bayani, who taught the young grizzly his families style of Eskrima and Panantukan. Though unintentional, Fred and Amber found out who Dragon was, but swore to keep this a secret, a secret that they promised they'd take to the grave. Upon his decision to use his powers to defend the innocent and with a little help from Diedrich Willis, who was an old friend of Colton's, Robert soon donned the name of Dragon; the "Guardian Angel" of Empire City. It would be soon enough that Dragon was looked up as a hero by the people of Empire City, but labeled a vigilante by the corrupted who would try many smear tactics that failed. Dragon would then meet an honest police officer named Carter Derek Parker (C.D. to those who knew him) and though they both didn't trust each other fully, they knew they had no other choice but to work together against the corruption in the city. It would be soon enough that a friend of Amber's, a female panda named Yu, would come in and she and Fred would instantly be smitten with each other, which was encouraged by their friends. Yu then on become a student and employee of Chao. One day, six people arrived, five of which were chosen to be the current Furious Five, but one came to Chao and revealed that he had desired to be the wielder of the Eternal Ember. This person was none other than a young red panda named Jack Shifu. As soon as the six discovered that Robert was already chosen, the Five were absolutely surprised, but Shifu was livid about a non-Chinese not only being the wielder, but was also using to be a vigilante. Though it was made perfectly clear tyat it was the Eternal Ember that chose it's wielder, Shifu challenged Robert to a duel, which was accepted. Robert lost the duel, but Shifu found himself falling out of grace with not only Chao or Robert's friends, but his own friends as well, which made him felt abandoned. There would be a second challenge, only this time Robert came up victorious and scolded Shifu for trying to take control of things he had no right to and for rushing things up in his fighting style. Shifu eventually became friends with everyone, including Robert, when the Five decided to follow in Dragon's trail and become superheroes themselves. Throughout the years battling crime, supervillains, corruption, and going from love interest to love interest (one of which was a vixen thief named Linda), other heroes would soon rise as Dragon soon formed the Fearless Five and would encounter two other heroes called Silver Sentinel and Devil Paladin, both of which were close friends of his. He would even gain three who would become his nemesis: Peyton "The Crusher" Timble, a cruel kickboxer who had a lust for Amber, becoming Dark Claw; Li Rongguang, a Chinese street fighter who was jealous of Robert being chosen by the Eternal Ember, becoming The cryomancer Blizzard; and Linda Freemont, a one time flame, known as Blindshade. After years of contained feeling, Robert would soon marry Amber, but were unable to conceive children, which was made up when they became godparents to Fred and Yu's son, Po. The first of many tragedies would hit as both Fred and Yu would die in a mysterious explosion at the hospital where they worked and was tacked by Tin Weng, Yu's adoptive father, to take care of Po, before the panther vanished without a trace. The second would be when Dragon would come to the rescue when the Wellington International building was held hostage by an unknown terrorist organization, but caused his own "death" in the process. This would lead Robert to retire from being a superhero, which led other heroes to do the same, and spend more time with Amber and Po. Upon seeing Po bullied by Shifu's adopted son, Tai Lung, Robert and Amber decided to take the young panda on an advanced Martial Arts training in the mountain area, promising they wouldn't be gone long. Shortly after return ing to Empire City, the them teenage Po discovered the Eternal Ember, which led the grizzly to decide to pass on the mantle of Dragon as well as training closely to his adopted son.

Biography:
Amber was born and raised in a Cherokee reservation in Utah, but later moved to the then corrupt Empire City when she turned five. There she made friends with two bear boys: a grizzly named Robert and a panda named Fa Wai (or Fred as he preferred), Robert's ancestry being from the same Cherokee tribe as her own. Life was hard for the young cougar, but she made due as her parents and uncle did everything they could to being up the daughter/niece. She would later meet and befriend a young raccoon named Ian who fell into, due to the fact that his family was amongst the poorest in Empire City, became a drug addict and began to shut everyone in his life out. Amber would proceed to befriend a female panda named Yu and her adopted father, a "panther" named Ti Weng. She would go on to introduce Yu to Fred and instantly became smitten as they were encouraged to continue into a a full time relationship. She and Fred would actually be the first two to (unintentionally) find out that Robert was chosen to be the current wielder of an ancient Chinese artifact that was made of pure dragon's fire; the Eternal Ember. Soon as Robert decided to use his powers to become the Martial Arts superhero known as Drago, Amber would then on to become one of Robert's main supporters in his quest. Throughout the years, Amber would go from boyfriend to boyfriend, though it was clear to her that there would always be only one who had her heart; Robert Glover. She would happily accept when Robert proposed to her, but sadly were unable to have children, which was made up when they became both became "Uncle and Aunty" as well as godparents to Fred and Yu's son, of whom which they named Po. Tragedy would strike one day when both Fred and Yu die in a mysterious explosion, leaving Po heart broken and an overall orphan. The second tragedy would strike when Dragon supposedly "died" after coming to the rescuing of the Wellington International when an unknown terrorist organization took everyone inside hostage. Finding that Robert survived, both agreed that the grizzly's days as Dragon was over, allowing Robert to spend more time with his wife and newly appointed adopted son; a task Ti Weng would give the two before vanishing without a trace. Upon seeing that Po was being bullied, both decided to take their adopted son away for advanced Martial arts training in the mountain areas. Returning to Empire City, both grizzly and cougar would become part-time carpenters, but Robert would teach Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do as Amber would open her very own (and highly successful) pastry shop. It would come to her as a surprise when she learned that her adopted son was not only chosen to be the next wielder of the Eternal Ember, but offered by Robert to become the next Dragon!
