<div class="floatright">(http://www.scificool.com/images/2013/07/Billy-Burke-in-Revolution.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>David "Dave" Sharpe<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Homeworld:</strong>Tamar<br/><strong>Original Faction:</strong>Federated Commonwealth (Lyran)<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>Dave is tall, with an average build and muscle tone. He has short, scruffy black hair and brown eyes, and is handsome in a somewhat unkempt or shabby way. Usually he dresses casually, with a preference for rough, hard-wearing clothes.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>The Sharpes were a noble family from Tamar, one that could trace their line back to the planet's initial colonisation. The Sharpe family had served in the LCAF (and later AFFC) for generations, fighting against the Draconis Combine as they had devoured the worlds of the Tamar Pact. David, oldest son of the family, had expected that once he came of age he too would continue this proud tradition of service.<br/><br/>Only it wasn't to be. Instead, the Tamar Words were attacked by a new enemy; the Clans. Inevitably, in 3052, the Wolves reached Tamar and descended upon it, crushing the Lyrans forces and achieving in a short, bloody campaign what the Combine never had. The Sharpe family were among those who had fought aginst the Wolves and ultimately failed to save their homeworld form conquest.<br/><br/>David had survived the fall of Tamar, fleeing with what he could. Embittered by the FedCom's faliure to save his homeworld, he slowly made his way instead to Outreach. Using his remaining personal wealth and building on his prior BattleMech training, David was able to land a billet in a Mercenary unit.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Dave does a good job of trying to be upbeat and approachable, but he harbours a lot of anger and resentment. He hates the Clans for what they did to his home, but he also sees the FedCom as having failed his world (And often sees the Davions as having deliberately sacrificed Lyran troops to buy time). Deep down he hopes to one day liberate Tamar from the Wolves, and that serves as a motivation of sorts to keep fightin.<br/><br/>Of late, David has begun to harbour the idea of assembling a mercenary force to take his home back. It's a long-term goal, but one that gives him focus and drive.<br/><br/><strong>Speciality Skills:</strong>David's background makes him experienced in dealing with nobility and the upper classes. In theory, if he cleaned up, he could fit straight back in with them. He also is an expert horse rider and a skilled shot with a rifle.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial black;">BattleMech Characteristics</span><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://www.sarna.net/wiki/images/0/09/3055u_Nightsky.JPG)</div><strong>BattleMech:</strong>NGS-4S<em>Nightsky</em><br/><strong>Weight Class:</strong>Medium<br/><strong>Callsign:</strong>Chopper<br/><strong>Description:</strong>Dave's<em>Nightsky</em>is relatively new and in good condition.
