CANON WRAP-UPS
(mm, Canon Wrap-Up! The fruit snack with the great taste of canon!)
I figured since I put up Megatron's backstory here, I oughta do my other three goons.
SHIPWRECK: Shipwreck's backstory is really vague. He's from sometime in fall '86. For the last ten-fifteen years, he's been a sailor in the U.S. Navy, and about a year or two ago he was approved for a transfer to Special Counter-Terrorist Group Delta, aka G.I. Joe. His canon is probably a fusion of cartoon and comics, with more of a comic lean in the grit and realism of the violence in his world, but a cartoon spin on his sense of humor. If anyone out there is a G.I.Joe canon buff, just disregard everything. I'm pretty sure I made reference to Raptor already, even though AFAIK, Serpentor hasn't been created in Shipwreck's universe yet. Regardless, all you really need to know is that he's a salty sailor from the mid-80s, in a world where the terrorist army COBRA is an even bigger threat to world peace than the nuclear arms race, and in fact the U.S. and the Soviets have had to work together on several occasions to prevent COBRA from obtaining nukes or other world-threatening tech. COBRA has a fair mix of extremely skilled commandos, goon field troops, and utterly *bizarre* officers, including multiple dudes in weird helmets, a guy who talks to birds, a swamp-dwelling master of disguise and his gang of biker thugs, and a half-dozen ninjas. There are robot soldiers and all other sorts of high-tech military oddities in his world, but no real "magic" to speak of. There are a couple of COBRA higherups who worship Lovecraftian terrors, but that in-and-of-itself is not sufficient proof of their existence.
BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD: They come to Milliways immediately following "Beavis and Butt-Head Are Dead", the final episode of the series, and the jar full of pocket change from that episode let them start them a small tab upon their arrival. There's no real backstory to these two. They wander in from time to time and get into all kinds of wacky trouble.
DOLEMITE: Dolemite. Oh man, where to begin. Dolemite's canon, such as it is, is based on two raps and three movies. This is Dolemite after The Human Tornado and Dolemite, but before The Dolemite Explosion. He has learned a little bit of spiritual magic (that he has yet to display) during a trip to Africa. He is from L.A. in the 1970s, and dresses and behaves accordingly. I'm not actually sure if he's capable of ANY of the stuff the toasts claim he can do (check his user info for a copy, there's some great stuff), though.

I'm planning on bringing in a few more characters, and I figure doing something akin to what you've just done for all your muses (where they fit in the canon, and where they are in regards to is) would be a good thing to do, if only as a means to straighten things out for myself and give me a direction in which to go, since I doubt many people are familiar with my canon anyways.
(And oh man you are making it SO tempting to bring in a Beast Wars character... Youareyouareyouaredammit...)
