Real Name: Maui Mallard
Alias: Cold Shadow
Age: Unknown
Species: Anthropomorphic Disney Duck
Sex: Male
Nationality: American
Alignment: Good
Affiliated With: Epcot City Police Department
Status: Active
Physical Description (Body structure, eye color, hair color, etc.): Maui is physically fit, as he gets plenty of exercise both as Maui Mallard and as Cold Shadow, though he is not 'buff' by any stretch of the imagination. His weight and physique are fairly common for anthropomorphic ducks such as himself.
His feathers are snow white in hue, a common trait among his species. His bill and three-toed, webbed feet are an orange coloration. His beak is flexible, allowing for facial expressiveness not common in typical birds, and though he doesn't seem to have any teeth they can suddenly appear at inexplicable times (it's best not to think too much about that). He has several long feathers protruding from his forehead which act as hair. Rather than wings, he has arms and fingered hands, like a human being, and is incapable of flight despite being a duck. His large eyes are baby blue with black pupils.
Appearance (Dream League): Dresses in a traditional black ninja gi. A distinguishing mark is his red bandanna which is tied around his eyes, effectively concealing both his face and acting as a blindfold.
Appearance (Outside of Costume): Dons a red, button-front Hawaiin shirt with floral patterns. Beneath his shirt he has a concealed holster which houses his firearm. Wears a blue baseball cap.
Abilities and Powers: While he doesn't exhibit any super powers, he is incredibly agile and swift, as well as capable of being breathtakingly stealthy. Being a detective as per profession, he is sharp and cunning, and good at thinking on his feet and problem solving. His senses are so finely tuned that, while Cold Shadow, he blindfolds himself and instead relies upon his other senses.
Weaknesses: Sometimes a bit unaware when distracted, he can zone out when focusing on something important, which is a rather unappealing trait for a detective and for a ninja.
Accessories: While his true self, Maui Mallard, he wields a pistol. As Cold Shadow he wields a wooden staff which he can use to attack, as well as a tool for such things as pole-vaulting himself over great distances and latching onto surroundings. He has the ability to spin his staff at such high speeds as to deflect certain projectiles, though there are specific things it cannot shield him from (such as fire).
Character Information (Personality & Motivation): Maui Mallard is a "medium-boiled" detective assigned to the ECPD (Epcot City Police Department) in their ever-expanding struggle to keep peace and maintain justice in a city with an ever-growing supervillain population.
What sets Maui apart from most other heroes is that he has the ability to operate both within the law and outside the confines of the typical rules and regulations. As Maui Mallard he can legally make arrests and combat evil without the need to conceal his identity. However, when a matter is inhibited by government laws and a vigilante is needed, he dons his secret alias of "Cold Shadow" and operates independently. His superhero persona is kept hidden and is unknown among the ECPD, few of which would suspect that the gumshoe doubles his romp against the forces of evil as a skilled ninja.
Maui's cause for such determination to uphold good is not fully known, but it is apparent that he has a strong sense of justice. And where Detective Maui Mallard can't step in to uphold the peace due to regulations, the mysterious Cold Shadow can take the law into his own hands to see that justice is served.
Cold Shadow currently operates independently and is not affiliated with the Dream League.
His relationship with the Dream League is an odd one, at best. Maui Mallard dislikes the idea of the Dream League and their vigilante antics, despite the fact that he begrudgingly accepts their aid on occasion. This may seem hypocritical seeing as he, too, is secretly a vigilante, but his mentality is that he is an officer of the law first, and a vigilante second. He only resorts to donning his ninja gi to handle matters he legally can't as a detective. Furthermore, he knows the law inside and out, and thus has a better handle on how far he should go while in his Cold Shadow persona. The Dream League, on the other hand, operate completely outside of the law. They are comprised of a group of individuals with conflicting opinions even within their own ranks, which Maui views as being as potentially dangerous for Calisota as they could be helpful.
First Appearance: Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (Mega Drive), August 12th, 1995
Voice Actor: Unknown, though his audio samples from the game insinuate he has a voice similar to Donald Duck's.
