Description

Bear is similer in appearance to his namesake animal. While not tall he is heavily built and has course brown hair wich he wears spiked on his head. Usually he goes days without shaving and has a thick moustache. On his chest he has tattooed 45 X-marks denoting the kills on his missions, below these kills is written "In fond memory of Victoria."

Background

He hasn't been the same since the loss of his wingman, Victoria Saranson 2 years ago. When he first became a pilot he was a mercenary in the service of a private millitary wich combatted Pirates and the Clans for the first 3 years of his career as a pilot. He recieved many awards for his skill and valor. After the three years of service he and Victoria Saranson aka, "Stilletto", went freelance and spent 2 years contracting scouting and escort missions in hostile zones. It was on one of these missions that he suffered his only defeat at the hands of Tara Vendross and her MECH Valkerie in a 3 hour long battle on Glaxis VI. In the end only 3 of the 15 MECHs were left, and none in any condition to continue the battle save Valkerie; Bear and Stilletto surrendered rather than risk each other's necks in a blaze of glory. Ussually the winner of such battles is the owner of the surrendered MECHs, but instead of doing as most pilots would, Tara offered to form a squadron with them. Three years ago, Tara, Dave, Victoria, and Lance formed the original Gun Special Squad. In a year Gun Squad as it became commonly known as, was quickly recognized as the best new squad out there; gaining contracts that squads with years more experiance could not. The fact that they were so good earned them many rivals, they were challenged to multiple battles, and it was during one of these that Dave Wilds would become a different person. During a challenge battle between Gun Specail Squad and Thunder Lance Dave and Victoria found themselves cut from Tara and Lance and outnumbered 2:1 by four members of the six man squad. Fighting back with all they had, they allowed one of the Pilots, Vulture, get along the flank of Stilletto as they belived him near crippled and harmless. As the fight progressed Vulture charged Stilletto, hitting her MECH's right side, and firing the light laser it had left for weaponry, destroyed the cockpit of her MECH; Victoria Saranson was killed in action, Friday July 13th at Carson Canyon. Bear never talked about what happened afterword, but Jack "Vulture" Reyn, Carson "Goober" Smith, and John "Slick" Williams were all reported KIA that same day. The fourth pilot Francis "Bogey Man" Walker was shot down and left, he has been reported missing since then. Gun Special Squad was never challenged again, and Dave has been a little different since that time.

Personality

To most Bear seems unchanged, drinking, fighting, and flirting are what he seems to live for, but to Tara and Lance he has changed much. His loyalty and dedication to the continuation of Gun Special Squad is not at all questionable, he thinks most things through more often, and he spends a lot of time by himself, or attempting to get closer to his "squaddies".
