G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

Okay, #75 goes to Law & Order both cos he's top of mind and also because he's absolutely an old favorite of mine:

Code Name: Law & Order (Disavowed)
File Name: Lavigne, Christopher M.
Primary Military Specialty: Military Police
Secondary Military Specialty: Intelligence
Birthplace: Houston, Texas
Rank: E4

Subject ran afoul of Lewis administration agents during the disbandment of the GI Joe Unit when the agents claimed that the K9 unit assigned to him was "military property" and that it would remain behind with the rest of his equipment. Lavigne appeared ready for violence, but instead calmly pointed out that he had raised the animal from birth and that he would simply be a small budgetary nuisance rather than a functional canine officer under someone else's command. The agent in question determined a fight over a dog that had been rescued from an illegal dog breeder wasn't worth an argument and allowed Lavigne to leave with the animal. Subject applied for, but turned down several cushy law enforcement jobs in Texas and quite vocally denounced an offer to work with border patrol on a consulting basis. It appears he has opened a private investigations business, specializing in missing persons cases. While the administration has concerns about an ex-Joe becoming a private detective, his cases appear to be entirely unrelated to Joe activity. Note: One might assume following a retired soldier and an 85 pound dog would b easier, but as a private detective, Lavigne appears to have a talent for evading surveillance as part of his job, and is frequently "off radar" for his surveillance teams.

"You don't choose the code name 'Law' unless you have strong feelings about order. Law was a beat cop and hated it; he joined the Joes because he didn't want to be a boot on the neck of his own fellow citizens and thought becoming one of us would give him a chance to put that detective brain to good use. The man was an MP first but he excelled at intelligence, too. He had a brain for noticing and finding things, and anything he misses, that slab of fur, teeth, and grit next to him will find it for him. We were glad to see him not go back to civilian law enforcement - it's only gotten tougher on men like him since he left. So now he's doing what he does best - he sees things, he finds things, he keeps people safe. It's too bad he had to go freelance to actually be able to do those things without the powers that be abusing him for it. He specializes in cases where ex-Cobra operatives overstep. A lot of people have gone missing during the Lewis administration. Nobody's talking about it. But Law & Order are looking for those unmarked graves, and when he finds them... he knows to call us in."

he would be a small* I'm assuming that was supposed to read.

Excellent.
I'm still not Law's biggest fan but I am absolutely intrigued where the missing persons case is going to go. Dead bodies? EXPERIMENTS? So many options. Is Cobra stealing people as leverage? What's going on, Doc?!
 
Thanks for the catch. I write these in like 20 minute bursts and can never catch my own typos.

All of the above? Disappearing dissenters, ditching bodies from Mindbender's failed experiments, kidnapping Joes' family members for leverage?
 
I actually toyed with the idea of him going into business training dogs that could sniff out and attack hidden Cobra agents, but I also don't love putting dogs in danger in stories I write and that just feels like putting A LOT OF DOGS in danger.

I think I gotta break down the list again, re-assess who's missing still.

(Also kinda funny cos I got an extra L&O set and stuck one of the alt cop heads onto the body, so Law has a younger, more impressionable sidekick/partner who would definitely get killed reaching too far to impress his mentor during an investigation...)
 
This may not technically be the spot for this but I'll justify it as being a thread for GI Joe and personal creativity. I drew this a while ago giving some love to a personal favorite GI Joe who gets no attention. It was my first really attempt at using alcohol markers and I learned quickly that the color on the cap is NOT necessarily the color it will look like on paper. The yellow ended up too mustard-y but I rolled with it. I got a whole case of those markers for Christmas and I'll be doing some more playing around with them.
