Serial number TB Five-Oh-Seven, trooper of the [[Imperial Army]]. A hard worked, loyal, and well disciplined Scout Trooper that stands proudly within the ranks of both the [[Empire]], and the [[Imperial Army]] itself. Spears works with dedication, but even through his hard work, there is a soft spot and a kind side to him. He’s always seen smiling. A bright, flashy smile can constantly be seen on his face. Even in the most dire situations, or the worst case scenarios, Spears finds how to make a wise crack or a smart ass comment in an attempt to boost morale. He’s usually seen in a good mood, always treating those around him with respect… as much respect as he can give to those in the [[Navy]] anyways.
+
No longer a man of smiles and joy, but one of turmoil and destruction. Spears previous life has all but vanished from him, fading away to a stiff, cold man. Someone who's seen the worst of it all while being deployed on every single backwater planet going to one corner of the galaxy and back, and witnessing some of the most gruesome things known to beings. Even though some of his memory is wiped, while not permanently, his personality took a drastic change for the worse and Riles disappeared from within him. He's turned into a war machine, a man armed to the toes and teeth, advanced at the core, and has become apart of war. Forgotten or not, dead or alive, he's still fighting. You have to give him credit though, he's been killed twice and yet he's mysteriously still alive. Go figure why he's such a hard ass. Spirit be willed, may it rest in him in forever peace.

=Personality, Traits, and Biography=
  
−
Spears awoke, his vision blurry. The warmth of the sun that leaked in through the window poured onto him, heating his skin. His eyes fully opened, and he rubbed the trying to clear them of the blur but to no success.
+
==Accessories==
  
−
“Don’t move to much,” A voice said suddenly, startling him, “You may reopen the wounds or injure yourself further,”
+
===Apparel===
  
−
Spears did as obeyed and settled. His body suddenly ached, and pain had lanced all over him. He slowly moved his hand to his side and ran it over his chest. He was shirtless, and was only dressed in boxer shorts. He moved his hand up to his neck and felt a scar embedded there.
+
:'''Off-duty''': During the few and little times he's seen out of his armor, he wears his fatigues. he cannot be caught in any formal dress clothing of any type, but feels that he must remain situated and ready so he can act accordingly and quickly. The fatigues he wears are urban camouflage digitized, marking him with specks of white, variations of gray, and shades of black in squared off boxes dotted a crossed his uniform. This makes him blend in easily with most surroundings, not marking him as a target to a presented enemy. This is usually under his jumpsuit, if he's wearing armor. If not -on rare occasions-, Spears wears his fatigues over his jumpsuit if he's absent from armor by being at a formal event or meeting.
  
−
Whoever it was in the room with him noticed his actions, “You’re lucky. We barely found you alive, from what I heard, you only had a sixteen percent chance of living,”
+
:'''Armor''': Spears wears quite a unique set of armor. His Scout Trooper armor has a cover coating of personal design. While the Imperial Army has white plastoid armor, to engrave fear into their opponents, Spears does not disrespect that. However, he'd rather display himself in a more fearful fashion and fight. As far as he knows, it's the only pattern of that type of paint in the Empire currently worn by him and Task Force Dagger, marking out the group of men as individuals and different. While it may be different, it's quite favored among the special forces in the group. Even if they're all insane, psychopathic, leatherneck soldiers. The armor is white, just as similar to the standard set, but all men are required to wear pauldrons. The armor worn among the men also has a small Imperial emblem engraved into the top left side of their helmets along with a spade, a winged sword, and a skull on the back - Task Force Dagger's emblem in tints of gray and black, varying in shades to make out the shapes. The rest of the armor, torso and legs, is covered in a unique heavy black trim with some orange edging to match his kama and pauldron. Most show combat experience though; paint dulling, blaster marks, scrapes and scratches, and the occasional dent or puncture in one of the task force's members' armor.
  
−
Spears voice cracked, his mouth dry from not speaking in a while and from the wound that was inflicted onto his throat, “Who are you and where am I..?”
+
===Personal Items===
  
−
There was a shuffle of feet before a shadow loomed over him, “Your questions will be answered shortly Mr. Spears,” There was a prickle of pain as something went into his arm, “Here, once you take this you’ll feel better. Remain still though, this should only give you some energy and clear whatever side effectives you may have,”
+
:'''Skull Balaclava''': A story in itself. Beneath the helmet of a mysterious man comes yet forth another problem. Instead of an Imperial Army issued head wrap, designed to be easily fit with the body suit, Spears opted for a balaclava of his own. And a quit unique one, as it does have a skull face on it. He's never spoke of why he wears it, or why he even has it. Few, if any even saw him in such, as he appears to constantly be in a full set of his personalized Scout Trooper armor wherever he wanders. It can be guessed though that it's worn in honor of his friends, and lost allies during the war. It's also rumored that it's not to be touched, and if so, Spears would use aggressive and violent nature onto those who dare come within fingers reach as he considers it disrespect to the dead and the souls. It's his pride and joy it seems, as it is carefully administrated after and well taken care of after being worn all the time beneath his helmet. Perhaps one of his mostly guarded secrets of why he wears a mask like that.
  
−
Spears blinked slowly in shock, ''Mr. Spears?'', he thought in wonder, ''Who is he talking about? He must have the wrong guy.'' Suddenly, his eyes cleared and he no longer felt drowsy. From his position, he could see a man hovering over him in medical gear, and a droid nearby holding a tray with an assortment of tools and medicines or drugs. He laid on a well cushioned bed of some sort, stripped down to his under garments where the light from the sun had seeped in through a nearby window. Spears blinked some more, trying to figure out what was going on.
+
:'''Kama''': A piece of culture in itself, and a personal item of his that's been passed down for years. It was previously worn from his deceased father, and being an only child, had taken in all possessions. It's also one of his last personal items, something that's loved closely to him. It's the color of jet black, with a orange liner along it's edges. Black standing for Justice and Orange for a lust of life, per Mandalorian armor colors. The edges themselves are hardly torn, even after it's past use, showing that it's well cared for and looked after. Being another one of Spears' most valuables, he cherishes it dearly and keeps a close eye on it as he tries to keep it into top condition.
  
−
The man over him smiled before moving to the window and looking out, “It was a miracle we saved you. You came so close to dieing. Multiple times actually. All the flat-lining, the struggling, the tension among us,” He shook his head, “Almost tore us apart. But, you did come out on top.”
+
:'''Sergeant's Pauldron''': Used to represent his rank and status within the Imperial Army, marking him as a senior NCO. The pauldron is also jet black, with a orange trim leaving it to match with his Kama as well. While it doesn't exactly fit accordingly with his Scout Trooper armor, he only wears it while in Imperial Territory such as Coruscant or Corellia during off-duty/patrolling hours. However, instead of the common three magazine pouch as seen on most Stormtrooper armor pauldrons, he instead carries a Buck Knife, a personalized holster for it. This enables easy over the chest cross-draw for quick reactions.
  
−
“Who are you?” Spears repeated.

“Ah, please excuse my manners. I’m Doctor Atkins. Who I work for however, is not of your business or who my colleagues are.”
+
===Personality===
  
−
Spears rotated his head to face Atkins, “What have you done to me then?”
+
After the flux and flow of death for him, his mood of a sober, cheery man who probably was care-free about everything turned him to a dark, hardened, and sharp being. Many scars that are physical mark him, the two on his neck from the patrol and execution, as well as his cybernetic arm from explosive ordinance during his past life. These represent him quite well, even though they're untold puzzles just like everything else about him. He knows war, just like he knows that back of his hand. He knows that politics can screw it over, and that in order to trust you must hate. The sands of time are bloodied, and drenched in lost souls who cry in terror. He knows he's become ruthless, yet still a disciplined, organized, and well kept man - Spears proves to be deadly in his effective and accurate capabilities. How he carries out tasks are with lethal and deadly force, often acting with aggressive behavior towards enemies and anyone outside of the Empire. And even those who dare mock and/or harm Task Force Dagger in any way.
  
−
“Well saved you of course. You’re my greatest work so far. You had almost been killed, executed is our best guess, but somehow survived. We really don’t know why…” Atkins turned from the window to face Spears again, his hands folded behind his back, “You’re still a work in progress however. So please rest up.”
+
Even though now that Spears is no longer a softy, but quiet and over watching, he still has a protective fatherly love in him. Being Mandalorian, it comes as instinct. Even though he's failed to have a child of his own and raise him as a warrior, his love for anyone who deserves more than what they get or come under his protection are well guaranteed to get it. He still practices his traditions though, reciting the fallen daily as they'll never be forgotten and fathering those under his command with respect. While his Mando'a isn't fully developed, due to his father getting killed before he taught Spears everything, he is still learning on the go. He respects many though, and seems to even have a bit of a religious side to him. It hadn't shown during his previously, possibly being one of the changes in him over time just as many others did. While it's not strong faith, he certainly believes in Mandalorian customs and thinks that's what has been saving him all this time.
  
−
Spears slowly touched his face, his fingers moved from his neck to his nose, ears, eyes, and finally combing through his hair. Spears stuttered, “Who am I then?”
+
Still yet though, underneath the rage and revenge that boils on the surface in an awfully frighting, quiet way Cole could yet be buried deep with in him. How much and where though is unknown, as he seems to have become quite a different man. Even so, combat is what gets him really lively. During field operations or missions, Spears is known to "mouth off" or his informalities are presented. Even to officers and NCOs alike. He can be viewed as perky, curious, and a general joker during the middle of combat or an operation. Being a Scout Trooper though, it's not exactly a surprise that he's overly cocky and has a large amount of pride. While complaints may be expressed, he usually does it in a sympathetic manner/teasing way. It's the only good side of him that's seen left. Even if it is quite rude to talk of to and about officers or others in general. Apparently it has something to do with being honored by serving in an elite corps. So says Spears.
  
−
“You’re new identity is Nixon Spears. We’re terribly sorry though, we lost some of your memory during the operations and surgeries. However, you should find most is intact.”
+
===Abilities===
  
−
“Nixon Spears doesn’t sound right. Who was I before that? What was my name?” Spears pleaded urgently.
+
Spears ability to handle a weapon is pretty close from second to none, being unparalleled to others. While he used to favor explosives, his tastes seem to have come towards longer range weaponry, as well as his skill levels with them. Being a Scout Trooper, he is quite adapt at using different weapon items, but is the most effective at being a designated Marksman. From a long rifle to a pistol, he can use both with deadly accuracy, something not to be messed with. He's proud of his status as a sharpshooter as well, carrying on other similar characteristics. He's highly trained in stealth, scouting, reconnaissance, search and destroy, and assassination missions. Being a man that prefers infiltration, special operations, and black ops, he is lethal at most. While there is other ranges of talents that he has good traits in, nothing comes to close to the sniper related trainings that he does.

The doctor sighed, “Don’t worry, as said, all your questions will be answered. You’ll find out soon enough,”

Spears frowned before looking back up at the ceiling, trying to solve the puzzle that was once his memory. He remembered the Empire, the Imperial Army, and close friends. There were laughs, sadness, anger, and sorrow. He remembered the pains of something hot, as hot as a star. He remembered a place just like this to, barely making it alive. He had returned to the Imperial Army, sorrow was dismissed to gladness, his friends or whoever they were, were happy. There was a woman, a girl. Beautiful, kind, and care-free. She was close to him. His mind went to another person. A man, this time he remembered the name, Jason Con. Before moving to Czar, then Lexu. Suddenly his memory was coming back.
+
==Task Force Dagger==
 +
A personal squad made up of close friends and hardened veterans. While not official, or unofficial if at all existing, the group is just compromised of some of the best scouts in the Imperial Army. Perhaps even, the Empire. The men have become so well adapt at their duties of recon, scouting, communications, search and destroy, sniping, infiltration, and other high risk and near suicidal missions they're commonly called "Team Dagger" or "Dagger" for short, usually going by the call signs Dagger, Saber, Shortsword, Longsword, and Broadsword. Most don't know they're around, whether it'd be friendlies or not. The group is looked upon as hostile to pretty much anything outside of the Empire, acting with lethal and extremely deadly force. They're tactics, techniques, and logic behind situations is efficient and accurate.
  
−
The doctor face looked quizzical, “You must be trying to resurface your memories. Your heart rate picked up for a second there,” He said, gesturing to the monitor.
+
There has been only four recorded deaths in total; Private Buck, Private First Class Checker, Private First Class Ka`Marick, and Corporal LaRone. The total number of men in the group is unknown, however it's been estimated that there are about twenty field operators, excluding command units. All the men come from different Legions within the Imperial Army, those of which are classified. Most of their prior service is unknown, but suggests military work due to their effectiveness, and consider themselves elitist.
  
−
Spears glanced over, and sure enough, he was hooked up to a heart rate monitor. Spears looked away again, “I want out,”
+
While Spears (Riles), or any other survivors are not acting as an official Imperial group or squad, they're just commonly reflected upon Team Dagger because of their field work and combat abilities when working together. The men in the Team are all good men, and brothers to one another. Most come from Mercenary, or equal backgrounds to such before service in the Empire. Through Imperial training, they've become disciplined and hardened to the core. They're advanced in seperate trainings and rolls, tactically trained to the best, and are always trying to maintain their top performance. They're an assault task force, prepared to take on any threat or foe in the galaxy. A team of members, trained in discipline and expertise, made to survive anything used against them and the harshest of environments. They're loyal to the Empire, and the Empire along, upholding peace and order throughout planets and sectors. They're presence is threatening, throwing fear into their opponents right on sight. They're the toughest of the tough, most bad ass, and hardest trained troopers you could ever encounter. Alone, one is strong. Together, they're family. Task Force Dagger.

Spears felt a flurry of anger shoot through him, “Who’s this we? Who are you people? Where in the blue blazes am I? I don’t even know who I am for cripes sake,” He pounded his fist onto the bed, one leaving a considerable sized whole from his left hand. He had forgotten that it was a cybernetic, “I want answers, and I want them now,”
+
''To be continued...''
  
−
The doctor chuckled, obviously finding this amusing. Spears clenched his teeth, “Do you think this is funny? Keeping me locked up like a prisoner?”
+
====Unconfirmed Name====
  
−
Atkins face straightened, the mood suddenly getting serious, “Not at all. We did, after all, save you. Just please have patience. I’ll give you a moment of privacy for now. I’m sure you’ll find everything you need in the cabinets, they’re unlocked,”
+
''To be continued...''
  
−
Spears ignored him, the doctor’s spine shuddering smile coming back. Spears waited till he left before jolting out of bed. He went straight to the window, ignoring the pain. Surprisingly, the pain wasn’t that bad for so soon after surgery. Or however soon. Spears didn’t even know what day it was. Perhaps it was the drugs Atkins gave him. None-the-less, he tried prying open the window. Try as he might though, it didn’t budge. And there was nothing convenient enough to bust it open.
+
====Twilight Raid====
  
−
Spears sighed, sitting back onto the bed. He looked at his cabinet, seeing that it was his only option. Hopping off, he walked slowly towards it. His hand touched the latch, giving him a moment of hesitation. What more did he have to lose? He was lucky to be alive now, and clearly these people saved him and didn’t kill him. Whoever they were…
+
''To be continued...''
  
−
Opening it up, there was clothing inside and a note. The note read, '' ‘You’ll find everything you need in here. Front door is open when you want to leave. Good luck with your new life!’ '' Spears peered inside. A nicely tailored suit hung from a wrack, a matching black trilby hat, and a tie. A few identity chips sat on the shelf above. He glanced around making sure no one was looking and pulled on the suit, fitting the tie in place and donned the hat. It was all a perfect match. Spears shuddered in shock, crept out by these people.
+
====Just Means====
  
−
He pulled the cards from the top shelf and held them in his hand. It was his passport, flying and speeder driving license, and a Corellian ID permit with a name on it “Nixon Spears” making it clear that he has a new identity now. A new life. Apparently he was on Corellia though, one more clue to a bigger puzzle. One piece at a time.
+
''To be continued...''
  
−
Spears opened the door, looking around in the empty hall. One both ends sat exit doors. Another note stuck to the wall in front of him and he plucked it off, “What’s this?”
+
====Unpropitious Circumstances====
  
−
It read, '' ‘Now you can have your final answer. Good luck once more, and happy hunting on putting your life back together,’ '' He flipped it around to see if there was anything else. Of importance on it. There was another card, it was old and had water damage, bent, and slightly torn on the edges. There was a picture, a man with a dashing smile that he instantly recognized. Him. He read the name, his mouth falling open, shocked.
+
''To be continued...''

−
“Riles Cole,” He whispered to himself. Suddenly, the memories came flooding back like a tidal wave to the shoreline. Everything, all of it, was coming back to him now. He wasn’t Riles Cole however, he was Nixon Spears. A new man, a new life, and a new start. He pocketed the old card into his back pocket for safe keeping. He knew where he was heading first, the nearest Imperial Recruiter stand. He left the strange building, which now sat deserted and empty from whoever was in it before had left. He made mistakes in the past, huge ones. It was time to sew the wounded seems and start new, a better life. Spears felt beaming confidence go through him, suddenly proud. It was indeed a very fine day.

===Enlistment===
 
−
 
 
−
Upon Enlisting into the [[Empire]], Spears already knew where his place lied. He had envisioned himself service in the [[Imperial Army]], as one of the men in white. Jumping at the chance of acceptance into the [[Imperial Academy]], he zipped through with flying colors before proceeding to [[Army]] training. After his focused -yet somewhat nervous- work was completed within the [[Academy]], he had been accepted in the ranks of a true [[Imperial]]. More so, a soldier in the [[Army]].
 
  
−
While going through the [[Imperial Academy]] with a quick breeze, he had picked up a close friend along the way. [[Cadet]] [[Cuun]], commonly refered as "[[Rad]]" through his nickname. Albiet their differences through service, one [[Navy]] while Spears remained [[Army]], they grew close in their frienship as brothers. Through their [[Imperial]] service, they came strong allies to one another as well as getting to know eachother far better than they did in seperated [[Academy]] classes by different professors. While both graduated quite well, Spears knew it would be quite a lasting friendship, one that should never be let go of.

−
Proud of his service, and status within the [[Army]], he was glad to be working as a biker scout. Spears had been known to be quick, reflexive, and agile in his movements. Usually focusing on speed and tactics, he prevailed over his opponents, who in turn, usually cared more about brute force and strength. Not only this, but his skills with long range weaponry may just be close to second to none. He is fluent in using a rifle, but has the senses and is trained as a sniper. There’s a sixth sense to him… no one just doesn’t know what it is.
+
His previous alias for a name, and previous life. While his personality took a whole turn-a-bout and formed into something else, he's still the same man. His memories, not yet fully complete, are coming back to him slowly. Riles could have been seen as a joyous and laid back sort of guy. While Spears can still be, he is often times now, just quiet and grumpy. It may seem all existence of Riles has been erased from Spears, there still seems to be some buried deep within him.
  
−
====Abilities====
+
====Private First Class Sean Rayden====
  
−
Serving in the [[Imperial Army]] as a Scout Trooper, Spears’ work employs in the directions of marksman capabilities. This usually means he has to have good reflexes, above average speed, and is quick to think on his feet. As he’s served, he’s proven quite capable through all of them, especially his ability to use a rifle. With the favoritism of long-range weaponry, he has honed his skills to the best, particularly favoring the [[Nightstinger]] as his primary weapon. Even so, he still requires maneuverability, so even the trusty old [[Scout Pistol]] will be well assured -and put to good use- by him.
+
Not much is known about Sean, other than that he was a member of Task Force Dagger, as well as one of the only few ever reported KIA in the unit. The loss of his life also has seemed to effect Spears that most than others for unknown reasons. He was also the communications/electronics expert in the first squad.
  
−
While being in the Biker Corps, Spears has also improved on his reconnaissance, proving him as a excellent runner and scout. Always being more than willing to be the first to go in or check what’s up ahead, it’s quite common to see Spears volunteer as quickly as he can. If his duties do not require that of a sniper, or scout, he provides a messenger then. Being quick and agile, he can duck, roll, and dive out of the way of stray or oncoming fire. None-the-less, he can be seen during the middle of combat to run straight through the deadly beams of energy, just to deliver the message in the case a COM unit does not work properly. Spears knows the risk of this. While he may take a hit and be injured, even severely, he still draws breath…
 
−
 
−
…And while breath still can be drawn, the messages could still be delivered.

====Corporal John William====
 
====Corporal John William====
  
−
A thin relation had come up between Spears and John, commonly called “Will,”. But as time managed to go by and Spears had made it into the [[Army]] where Will served, their friendship grew into a brotherly bond. Their service together had lengthened and both were commonly seen together in combat operations or field events. During off duty hours the two could be caught chatting or having a drink at the local bar or cantina.
+
Former comrade and yet still at his side, John has been through it all with Spears. Despite his low rank, he's a very intelligent man and a combat veteran. Specializing in close quarters combat, John is the Task Force's designated close range expert. He is highly trained in knife and martial arts forms, being especially dangerous when within close proximity. He is also one of Spears best friends and closest allies, someone he can trust.
  
−
Through their discussions and chats, both of the men came closer to knowing each other. With this and time, Spears had learned some shocking information. [[Riles Cole]], a cousin and very close friend of Spears, had been killed. Spears had learned that [[Riles]] had been a very close man and Will’s squad leader of the Ghost Bears. A reconnaissance unit that had held Scout Troopers for a quick reaction force and a scouting unit. Spears had learned more about [[Riles]] than he thought. The man had been greatly loved by the Army, especially those in Enlisted ranks and his [[Legion]]. He had also survived a mysterious death that never came through an operation in which he and Will were the only survivors of the squad, Ghost Bears.
+
====Private First Class Grant Clarke====
  
−
After which, [[Riles]] and Will remained close after their friends had lost. The only reason they lived was because [[1st Lieutenant]] [[Karon Alfan]] had a mission in the area and personally sought out the rescue mission with a squad of her [[Stormtroopers]]. Being quickly carried to medical facilities due to their injuries, they healed. Shortly after this, they resumed active duty and were found on a escort mission with [[Navy]] [[Captain]] [[Stanov]]. With a swift and undetected rebel attack at a nearby star port, [[Riles]] had lead Will to check it out. After being separated in different directions as the fire fight ensued, [[Riles]] never returned. It was later assumed he had been MIA before being reported KIA a week later after failed findings. It had been shortly realized though that the man defected before being captured and executed.
+
Nothing is known about the man, his birth place, origins, service, and whether he's still alive or not. Even so, there's been a rumor that he is attached to Task Force Dagger, whether he exists or not, no one knows. At best, it is guessed that he's a field operative, specializing in repair and engineering. Only information that is known is that Spears had made the personal recommendation himself that dragged Grant into the unit.
  
−
Will carried on his duties in smooth missions and relaxed operations. After hearing the full side of the story, Spears had been crushed and felt defeated. None-the-less, Spears shared no sympathy for his close cousin as of what he had done was wrong. Will however, became a ally to Spears and a close friend.

After Spears’ and Will’s friendship increased they became as close to brothers as one can come. Shortly after this, Will had requested Spears to come with him to the tragic site as a guest and a friend to have company. In agreement, Spears traveled with Will to where his squad had been killed in action. As the two proceeded through thick forestry to come upon a grass field on their [[speeder bikes]], the site where the squad landed and was ambushed could come into view. The grass was only slightly thicker than before, and the trees were also thicker and greener. Other than that, the stories Will told checked out and the realism came to life. In a flash, a group of rebels appeared before disappearing again in a blink.

Hesitating, Spears realized this was only a flashback as he was living by the stories Will told. In all means and truth, they were quite real and matched up perfectly. Halting, Will jumped off his [[speeder bike]] before slowly trudging forward what Spears called the “Walking Blues,”. The man went into a jog before falling to his knees and removing his helmet, tears laden on his face. Spears had remained where he was at on his speeder bike and gave Will his time. It was his Sergeant, his friend, and his close brother and teacher. It may have been Spears close cousin, but he kept his distance and only made his vows in silence. He didn’t know squad Ghost Bears, but from what he has heard, they’ve proven to be quite a reaction force.

Beyond Will, only a few helmets could be seen sitting atop spears that were sunk into the earthy dirt. The scout trooper helmets where weathered and worn down, some dented or cracked, but seemed to remain undisturbed. It was a haunting feeling, a ghostly one to look at them. But yet relaxing, brothers who did their duty. His emotions could not be expressed. While those helmets sat atop the spears, only two where missing. Will’s, and [[Riles]]’.

Standing up, Will murmured a prayer to them with a bow of his head before retreating back to the speeders. The only comfort that was received from Spears to Will was a pat on the back and reassurance it’d be okay. Spears gave the guy some room as he needed space to breath for now until he calmed down. Back handing his face and wiping away the tears of his leathered gloves, Will donned his helmet in place. No more is known than this, as Spears doesn’t speak of the event much, nor is much information given out. However, later it is found out that Spears ''is'' Riles Cole. He didn't tell Will or anyone else prior, during, or shortly after the event. Days later though, Will did discover this an the two friends reunited.

Spears is commonly seen his armor, as he usually comments he feels naked or exposed without it. It’s become apart of him, like a moss on a tree and mustn’t be let go. While he’s usually seen with Scout Trooper armor -Not a surprise from the work he does- it’s quite unique. The armor itself has been camouflaged into a green, brown pattern mimicking darker shades of forestry environment or woodland areas. The armor can already be seen with slight dents in it and areas where the paint is scarred to a dark, charcoal black from blaster marks or continuous weathering. But, even from this, Spears’ armor is kept up to notch and clean. After all, he kind of favors having the scar marks, scratches, and dents on his armor. Shows he at least has some experience in the field.

A traditional [[Kama]] is worn around Spears’ legs, symbolizing that his family comes a crossed the ties of [[Mandalore]]. It can be easily fitted to his utility belt, as well as utilizing two blaster holsters for extra weapon efficiency and firepower if required. It’s coated the color of a dark gray, with a hue of brown touched into it to blend with his armor as well as his surroundings. Only at the edge of the [[Kama]] at the very bottom can cuts be seen and made out, by otherwise it seems to be very well taken care of and carefully inspected after as it’s one of Spears’ few personal possessions that still remains with him. Spears also occasionally can be see with a Sergeant's pauldron.

As much as he loves his armor, he can’t wear it all the time. During some parts of off-duty ours or relaxation he can be seen in his urban camo’d fatigues. On formal events or celebrations he wears his [[Army]] dress uniform. But not always. Sometimes he’s able to sneak in with his armor donned. It’s become more of a signature for him to be seen in his armor. If you see the man without it, you’ve probably just made history as it does come and go quickly when it happens and only happens on rare occasions.

Not much is known about Spears. He states he was born on [[Corellia]], in the outskirts of City 7 to be exact. His family members are unknown and where he came from is also unknown. The man is quiet and keeps to himself when it comes to his family or his where abouts. Why this is, no one knows, not even his closest friends. The only reason he was recruited was because there were minor records of him on the holonet, he had a [[Corellian]] citizen card, as well as a speeder/ship permit. Where his original origins are or came from is usually of curiousity of others, but they'll most likely never know.

====...Revealed====

−
Recently, Spears expressed some quite important, if not even major information with his close friend [[Jason Con]]. Spears had explained to him about [[Riles Cole]]. And to Jason's shocking belief, he had found out Spears ''was'' [[Riles]]. When [[Riles Cole]] had been executed -or so thought-, he had been disposed of. Quite shockingly, he was still found with a pulse and brain activity, as it only takes a little bit of brain waves to revive someone. Taken care of and healed up by what is still an unknown source today, even to him, he recovered slowly and took time in healing. Once healed, he found that his name, "[[Riles Cole]]" and that all else was deleted from basically all information databases. Only a few personal possessions remained from what was no a past life, and a few new possesions including his new identity posted on the holonet, and was given the necessary citizen and government cards required to move on with life unnoticed. Only few of know of this closely guarded secret, and Spears still has black spots in his memory of his past as [[Riles Cole]].

"Those who are dead are usually left forgotten. But they're still around, and always will be. Whether it's in memories, or simply they still exist but you don't know it."
— Riles Cole


No longer a man of smiles and joy, but one of turmoil and destruction. Spears previous life has all but vanished from him, fading away to a stiff, cold man. Someone who's seen the worst of it all while being deployed on every single backwater planet going to one corner of the galaxy and back, and witnessing some of the most gruesome things known to beings. Even though some of his memory is wiped, while not permanently, his personality took a drastic change for the worse and Riles disappeared from within him. He's turned into a war machine, a man armed to the toes and teeth, advanced at the core, and has become apart of war. Forgotten or not, dead or alive, he's still fighting. You have to give him credit though, he's been killed twice and yet he's mysteriously still alive. Go figure why he's such a hard ass. Spirit be willed, may it rest in him in forever peace.

Personality, Traits, and Biography

Accessories

Apparel

Off-duty: During the few and little times he's seen out of his armor, he wears his fatigues. he cannot be caught in any formal dress clothing of any type, but feels that he must remain situated and ready so he can act accordingly and quickly. The fatigues he wears are urban camouflage digitized, marking him with specks of white, variations of gray, and shades of black in squared off boxes dotted a crossed his uniform. This makes him blend in easily with most surroundings, not marking him as a target to a presented enemy. This is usually under his jumpsuit, if he's wearing armor. If not -on rare occasions-, Spears wears his fatigues over his jumpsuit if he's absent from armor by being at a formal event or meeting.
Armor: Spears wears quite a unique set of armor. His Scout Trooper armor has a cover coating of personal design. While the Imperial Army has white plastoid armor, to engrave fear into their opponents, Spears does not disrespect that. However, he'd rather display himself in a more fearful fashion and fight. As far as he knows, it's the only pattern of that type of paint in the Empire currently worn by him and Task Force Dagger, marking out the group of men as individuals and different. While it may be different, it's quite favored among the special forces in the group. Even if they're all insane, psychopathic, leatherneck soldiers. The armor is white, just as similar to the standard set, but all men are required to wear pauldrons. The armor worn among the men also has a small Imperial emblem engraved into the top left side of their helmets along with a spade, a winged sword, and a skull on the back - Task Force Dagger's emblem in tints of gray and black, varying in shades to make out the shapes. The rest of the armor, torso and legs, is covered in a unique heavy black trim with some orange edging to match his kama and pauldron. Most show combat experience though; paint dulling, blaster marks, scrapes and scratches, and the occasional dent or puncture in one of the task force's members' armor.

Personal Items

Skull Balaclava: A story in itself. Beneath the helmet of a mysterious man comes yet forth another problem. Instead of an Imperial Army issued head wrap, designed to be easily fit with the body suit, Spears opted for a balaclava of his own. And a quit unique one, as it does have a skull face on it. He's never spoke of why he wears it, or why he even has it. Few, if any even saw him in such, as he appears to constantly be in a full set of his personalized Scout Trooper armor wherever he wanders. It can be guessed though that it's worn in honor of his friends, and lost allies during the war. It's also rumored that it's not to be touched, and if so, Spears would use aggressive and violent nature onto those who dare come within fingers reach as he considers it disrespect to the dead and the souls. It's his pride and joy it seems, as it is carefully administrated after and well taken care of after being worn all the time beneath his helmet. Perhaps one of his mostly guarded secrets of why he wears a mask like that.
Kama: A piece of culture in itself, and a personal item of his that's been passed down for years. It was previously worn from his deceased father, and being an only child, had taken in all possessions. It's also one of his last personal items, something that's loved closely to him. It's the color of jet black, with a orange liner along it's edges. Black standing for Justice and Orange for a lust of life, per Mandalorian armor colors. The edges themselves are hardly torn, even after it's past use, showing that it's well cared for and looked after. Being another one of Spears' most valuables, he cherishes it dearly and keeps a close eye on it as he tries to keep it into top condition.
Sergeant's Pauldron: Used to represent his rank and status within the Imperial Army, marking him as a senior NCO. The pauldron is also jet black, with a orange trim leaving it to match with his Kama as well. While it doesn't exactly fit accordingly with his Scout Trooper armor, he only wears it while in Imperial Territory such as Coruscant or Corellia during off-duty/patrolling hours. However, instead of the common three magazine pouch as seen on most Stormtrooper armor pauldrons, he instead carries a Buck Knife, a personalized holster for it. This enables easy over the chest cross-draw for quick reactions.

Personality

After the flux and flow of death for him, his mood of a sober, cheery man who probably was care-free about everything turned him to a dark, hardened, and sharp being. Many scars that are physical mark him, the two on his neck from the patrol and execution, as well as his cybernetic arm from explosive ordinance during his past life. These represent him quite well, even though they're untold puzzles just like everything else about him. He knows war, just like he knows that back of his hand. He knows that politics can screw it over, and that in order to trust you must hate. The sands of time are bloodied, and drenched in lost souls who cry in terror. He knows he's become ruthless, yet still a disciplined, organized, and well kept man - Spears proves to be deadly in his effective and accurate capabilities. How he carries out tasks are with lethal and deadly force, often acting with aggressive behavior towards enemies and anyone outside of the Empire. And even those who dare mock and/or harm Task Force Dagger in any way.

Even though now that Spears is no longer a softy, but quiet and over watching, he still has a protective fatherly love in him. Being Mandalorian, it comes as instinct. Even though he's failed to have a child of his own and raise him as a warrior, his love for anyone who deserves more than what they get or come under his protection are well guaranteed to get it. He still practices his traditions though, reciting the fallen daily as they'll never be forgotten and fathering those under his command with respect. While his Mando'a isn't fully developed, due to his father getting killed before he taught Spears everything, he is still learning on the go. He respects many though, and seems to even have a bit of a religious side to him. It hadn't shown during his previously, possibly being one of the changes in him over time just as many others did. While it's not strong faith, he certainly believes in Mandalorian customs and thinks that's what has been saving him all this time.

Still yet though, underneath the rage and revenge that boils on the surface in an awfully frighting, quiet way Cole could yet be buried deep with in him. How much and where though is unknown, as he seems to have become quite a different man. Even so, combat is what gets him really lively. During field operations or missions, Spears is known to "mouth off" or his informalities are presented. Even to officers and NCOs alike. He can be viewed as perky, curious, and a general joker during the middle of combat or an operation. Being a Scout Trooper though, it's not exactly a surprise that he's overly cocky and has a large amount of pride. While complaints may be expressed, he usually does it in a sympathetic manner/teasing way. It's the only good side of him that's seen left. Even if it is quite rude to talk of to and about officers or others in general. Apparently it has something to do with being honored by serving in an elite corps. So says Spears.

Abilities

Spears ability to handle a weapon is pretty close from second to none, being unparalleled to others. While he used to favor explosives, his tastes seem to have come towards longer range weaponry, as well as his skill levels with them. Being a Scout Trooper, he is quite adapt at using different weapon items, but is the most effective at being a designated Marksman. From a long rifle to a pistol, he can use both with deadly accuracy, something not to be messed with. He's proud of his status as a sharpshooter as well, carrying on other similar characteristics. He's highly trained in stealth, scouting, reconnaissance, search and destroy, and assassination missions. Being a man that prefers infiltration, special operations, and black ops, he is lethal at most. While there is other ranges of talents that he has good traits in, nothing comes to close to the sniper related trainings that he does.

Connections

Task Force Dagger

A personal squad made up of close friends and hardened veterans. While not official, or unofficial if at all existing, the group is just compromised of some of the best scouts in the Imperial Army. Perhaps even, the Empire. The men have become so well adapt at their duties of recon, scouting, communications, search and destroy, sniping, infiltration, and other high risk and near suicidal missions they're commonly called "Team Dagger" or "Dagger" for short, usually going by the call signs Dagger, Saber, Shortsword, Longsword, and Broadsword. Most don't know they're around, whether it'd be friendlies or not. The group is looked upon as hostile to pretty much anything outside of the Empire, acting with lethal and extremely deadly force. They're tactics, techniques, and logic behind situations is efficient and accurate.

There has been only four recorded deaths in total; Private Buck, Private First Class Checker, Private First Class Ka`Marick, and Corporal LaRone. The total number of men in the group is unknown, however it's been estimated that there are about twenty field operators, excluding command units. All the men come from different Legions within the Imperial Army, those of which are classified. Most of their prior service is unknown, but suggests military work due to their effectiveness, and consider themselves elitist.

They're loyal to the Empire, and the Empire along, upholding peace and order throughout planets and sectors. They're presence is threatening, throwing fear into their opponents right on sight. They're the toughest of the tough, most bad ass, and hardest trained troopers you could ever encounter. Alone, one is strong. Together, they're family. Task Force Dagger.

People

Past Life

Master Sergeant Riles H. Cole

His previous alias for a name, and previous life. While his personality took a whole turn-a-bout and formed into something else, he's still the same man. His memories, not yet fully complete, are coming back to him slowly. Riles could have been seen as a joyous and laid back sort of guy. While Spears can still be, he is often times now, just quiet and grumpy. It may seem all existence of Riles has been erased from Spears, there still seems to be some buried deep within him.

Private First Class Sean Rayden

Not much is known about Sean, other than that he was a member of Task Force Dagger, as well as one of the only few ever reported KIA in the unit. The loss of his life also has seemed to effect Spears that most than others for unknown reasons. He was also the communications/electronics expert in the first squad.

Corporal John William

Former comrade and yet still at his side, John has been through it all with Spears. Despite his low rank, he's a very intelligent man and a combat veteran. Specializing in close quarters combat, John is the Task Force's designated close range expert. He is highly trained in knife and martial arts forms, being especially dangerous when within close proximity. He is also one of Spears best friends and closest allies, someone he can trust.

Private First Class Grant Clarke

Nothing is known about the man, his birth place, origins, service, and whether he's still alive or not. Even so, there's been a rumor that he is attached to Task Force Dagger, whether he exists or not, no one knows. At best, it is guessed that he's a field operative, specializing in repair and engineering. Only information that is known is that Spears had made the personal recommendation himself that dragged Grant into the unit.
