Raised on one of the dozens of Mongolian flotilla cities that dot the Pacific. When Esen was still a teenager when his home was compromised, annexed by a Pacific Conglomerate giga-corp who overtook the flotilla and began conscripting its inhabitants into their workforce, all under the guise of providing “foreign aid.” Esen’s parents were sent away, and he and his sister fled alongside a handful of others on a small vessel with barely enough food or fuel to take them to the Chrome Coast.
It was there that Boodog first found work running basic security for Old Town Road Productions, keeping gronks away from sets and studios or providing personal protection to the megacorp-owned movie stars. He didn’t love the work, but he loved his younger sister, and it was his only way to keep a roof over their heads and pay her way through school and university. Eventually he found himself disillusioned with what he was doing, being a babysitter to overpaid and overconfident “people” who treated him like he wasn’t the only thing standing between them and a rabid fan who wants to wear their synth-skin. So he moved on, finding a place in the Chrome Coast Police Services soon after they were acquired by ePower Enterprises. His first order of business was in an anti-gang task force focusing on thinning out the numbers and drug production of the LED-head and Prep Squad gangs.
The work was dangerous but exhilarating, and Esen quickly earned a reputation for being outstanding at his job and given his own squad. His unit earned the nickname the “Boodog Boys” and Esen as Boodog, named after a Mongolian dish. This came from an incident where they lit up a LED-head hideout’s wiring during a routine cleanout, burning the entire chapter of goons alive. But the more Boodog fell into this dark side of the police force, the further his superiors drove him into committing heinous acts in the name of “justice.”
When Boodog realised what was happening, he handed in his badge, and the unwavering loyalty of his unit saw them all do the same. They started their own small merc company soon after, retaining their unit name of the Boodog Boys, providing affordable protection to execs or merchant convoys needing escorts through the Chrome Coast, or into the hellish Bushlands of Australia, far from the security of the Coast.

One of my favourite models from Cyberstash. The pose does make for a challenge painting this as a fair portion of the model is difficult to reach with a brush. But, it's beautifully detailed and looks splendid when finished.
