STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Well Trained: He was hired, trained, and equipped by OmegaPyre. Still is.
+ Bug Hunter: The Bando Gora were a menace, and more than one colony went dark because of them. He and other mercenaries termed 'Bug Hunters' prowl the space lanes, investigating incidents. Any unknown alien contact is immediately chalked up to 'bugs.' It's just a generic term for the unknown. They're used to operating far from supply lines, and with limited support. It helps make them tough as a pair of snow tires.
- Frontiersman: Civilization isn't his forte. Violence is his life. This creates problems.
- Xenophobic: Guess why.
APPEARANCE:
Athletic and fit, Wess maintains the youthful trim of a soldier on the line. His hair is kept short, and his body holds little fat from the constant training, fighting, and killing he does. Rations do little to add mass to his frame. He's typically found with dirt-stained skin and an expression of almost serene calm. He's seen enough proverbial crap hitting proverbial fans to just sort of take things in stride, and that acceptance of the chaotic nature of life is visible in his typically stoic demeanor.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born to Mandalorian parents, he took up his culture's desire to be a mercenary, but little else. He received typical Mandalorian training, but his parents, while disappointed he didn't wish to partake of their culture to the point of becoming a part of it, begrudgingly accepted that it was better to let him go his own way than to force him into a life he'd eventually be shamed out of. Once he was of age, he signed up with OmegaPyre, and it was there he decided to take the most dangerous job he could - the QRF.
Typically, a quick reaction force has a designated territory on a battlefield - OmegaPyre used theirs to police whole sectors of space. If a colony, station, or ship went dark, they were sent to investigate. Typically, this meant fighting pirates or Bando Gora, but sometimes you came across hostile alien life. Over time, these would come to be generically termed 'bugs,' and Wess and those like him, 'bug hunters.' Whether these aliens were humanoid or not, if they were unknown, they were bugs needing to be squashed, and it fostered a certain hard, straight-line mindset in the warriors doing the squashing.
Since he was old enough to be considered an adult, bug hunting is what he's done - but sometimes, the higher ups give the call to send him elsewhere. He hasn't quite figured out where the orders come from (they often seem to be quite random,) but the theories about the man behind the curtain are as numerous as they are fanciful.
