Physical Description: Wes is a ridiculously toned, and fit man. He stands at 6'8 feet tall, and weighs around 600 pounds. He has long blonde hair that is usually tied up in a ponytail, a beard, and bluish-green eyes. His casual attire is simply a tight fitting long sleeved black shirt, a pair of grey cargo pants, and black combat boots. But he only wears that when he is in his quarters, or else he feels safe. It's more likely to see him in his high-tech battle armor.
He has extensive advanced cybernetic enhancements all over his body. This includes both his arms, legs, and other things.
Religious Affiliation: Atheist| "That way I won't be disappointed."
Creed: "No matter what they did to me, I'm still human. I'm not a soulless machine. I'm alive, and I will never forget that."
Outlook: "I don't know, things like that changes you. It changes you down to your very core. I guess it's evolve or die. I'm just worried about what we turn into."
Goal: "I'm just looking to see tomorrow. Like to have kids one day, find somebody that can look past everything that I've done, and not feel the need to carry a gun. But none of that's happening."
Personality: Wes is generally a distant man who keeps to himself, and prefers his solitude. He can be pretty sarcastic, and usually has a smart ass remark up his sleeve. He has a certain degree of distain towards his own cybernetics, and artificial intelligence in general. This is due the way he grew up putting a bad taste in his mouth about advanced technology.
He carries himself as a rather intimidating man, with a 'seen in all done it all' air to him. He can be somewhat rebellious, as he will outright refuse or go against orders that he disagrees with. But he is still very loyal and protective of those he considers a friend, and will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even at the risk of his own life.
He is very stubborn, as he won't give up on anything, or accept anyone's help. He feels that due to his enhancements he has to fight harder, and take more risks then others around him, and isn't used to relying on others, especially when in combat. He is very secretive about his past, and rarely shares any details. When it's brought he changes the topic almost instantly.

His bones are also enhanced with several implants in different key locations to reinforce them. He is effectively stronger, and faster then almost any other human. Several of his vital organs have been enhanced or replaced entirely by cybernetics. For example his lungs have been enhanced the point where he can survive in low levels of oxygen, and toxic atmospheres much longer then a normal man. He has enhancements on his liver, and kidneys that make him resilient to most poisons.
He has several implants in his brain that greatly enhance his reflexes, and mental capacity. It gives him a eidetic memory as well. He has ocular implants that have different functions, such as x-ray, thermal, telescopic, and inferred vision. - Armor- Wes has a very high tech armor that can withstand several energy blasts. His helmet is retractable rather then just taking it off. His armor is linked to his cybernetics so he can retract his helmet at will, and is specially designed to work with his more offensive enhancements. His armor can act as space suit, and a diving suit.

He doesn't carry all of these weapons with him at once, he mostly carries Sally with him, and uses the others when the need arises.
- Gadgets- He has lots of bombs, and other tools that he used to use in his former job. Such as energy bolas, and different kinds of traps.
As far as the rest of the galaxy is concerned the Cyberchists are merely campfire stories, boogeymen meant to scare kids into going to bed. But they are real. Though they don't go around assimilating lost ships, everything else about them is true. Though no one can claim to say they've seen them, but they have unknowingly seen them. Trough the use of advanced armor, holographic technology, and other such tricks the Cyberchists pass themselves off as a completely different species in order to trade with other cultures, and do other things they need to do involving outsiders.
Wes was born to these people. Growing up, Wes never shared their fascination with technology, which caused him lots of problems growing up. When he was six years old was when he was given his 'enhancements', whether he wanted them or not, which he didn't. But he was just a kid, who was he to argue with his parents wishes? They're supposed to know what's best for him aren't they? The implantation process is a special ritual to the Cyberchists. Instead of enhancing the children at birth they wait until they're older, until they have some skills. And depending on what they are naturally good at, they get special enhancements to make them better. Such as getting extensive cranial implants for someone who excels at math to make them a human supercomputer.
Wes was tested, and proved to be a perfect candidate to be a Sentinel. Sentinels are special soldiers that are given cybernetics to greatly enhance their combat ability. Sentinels are the protectors, the guardians of the Cyberchists way of life. They deal directly with the outside world. Only one in one-hundred are chosen. It's a great honor. Wes was a special case, he was given highly experimental cybernetics, he was to be the first in a new line of Sentinels.
Once the surgery was over, Wes was not happy. He hated it, he felt like he was no longer human. Over the years he became rebellious, and resentful of everyone around him. Things came to a head when he was 15. He hijacked one the transport ships, and ran away, never looking back. He got pretty far before he ran out of fuel, and ended up on a backwater, crime filled planet. He sold off the transport ship, so there he was, alone on some strange planet with a far amount of cash. His cash didn't last long, as it was almost immediately stolen.
For several months Wes had to live by his wits, and the skills he learned while being trained as a Sentinel. He used clothing, and other such things to disguise himself as a alien, and resorted to theft to scrap by, and ended up stealing from the wrong man. He stole from a rather nasty bounty hunter who tracked him down. The bounty hunter was pissed, and was ready to kill Wes, but thanks to his cybernetics he proved too much for him, and killed him instead. Turned out the bounty hunter was apart of a team, and his leader came looking for Wes. Instead of attacking Wes, and avenging his fallen comrade, the man wanted him to replace the man he killed. As he saw potential in him, especially given his implants.
Over the years Wes became a feared, and respected bounty hunter/mercenary. Under the training of the bounty hunter, a reptilian alien known as Zaxt, he became even more skilled. He used his training as a Sentinel to great use. Over the years he gained the alias Ironhide. He grew closer to Zaxt, and saw him as a father figure, but that all changed when he was 25. While on a extremely high paying job, Zaxt betrayed Wes, and left him to die on a old moon used for smuggling. This infuriated Wes, lucky for him he found a old, and abandon ship. It was in poor shape, but it was enough to get him to a habited planet.
He spent a solid year hunting Zaxt down, he paved a path of carnage straight to Zaxt. When he found his former mentor Wes beat him to death. With his vengeance taken care of, Wes went back to bounty hunting. He became even more ruthless, and dangerous. He soon became one of the most infamous bounty hunters in the crime world. But this too came to a crashing end when he was 27.
Wes was hunting a target, and was going to take him in alive, but the target fought back, forcing him to kill him. But little did Wes know, the bounty's young daughter was watching nearby, and saw the whole thing. Looking upon the girl's face, he saw what he had become, a monster. He got the girl to the proper authorities. After that he left the bounty hunting game, and abandoned his Ironhide alias. Eventually he found himself a job in the Gerhardt Group as security on various ships.
He was eventually assigned to the CCV Make My Day.
