Welcome to Gaia! ::

There are few things that Beck Wyatts is passionate about. One being motorcycles, and the other being his roommate and younger sister June. Since his time in the military, Beck has had a lot of free time. Despite the civilian life being quite hard for him to get back into, he was never interested in renewing his contract with the military. Instead he took up some unusual hobbies that have kept him busy, and a job working on motorbikes that keeps a steady income.

Born and raised in Arizona, Beck always had an interest in becoming an Air Force pilot. As a child, he was obsessed with war movies, especially the ones that included the fighter pilots and the bombers. He found them almost glamorous. Though growing up, Beck was a troublemaker and a fighter. He was pushed around because the children saw him as weak. June would defend him, but that only made matters worse as the boys who bullied Beck always accused him of hiding behind the girls. Because of this, Beck’s father enrolled him in self defense classes. He would always claim that ‘Fighter pilots don’t pick fights, instead they learn to defend themselves and others. They have to be strong.’ To this day, Beck still takes those words to heart

Upon enlisting straight out of high school, Beck had a few complications. Because of his sheer size from taking his father’s words, maybe a bit too literally, he was nearly refused because he was overweight. Not because he was fat, of course, but because of his muscle mass. Despite this, he was let in, but he had to walk a very fine line between being overweight and losing a bit of his hard worked for muscle. Everything worked out in the end, and he was finally in the Air Force, living his dream.

Beck thought that he could create a better life for himself in joining the military. That he would finally find a purpose. Boy was he wrong… What the Air Force life lacked in glamour it made up for a very important lesson. There is nothing glamorous about war, and no matter how much he wanted to live that childhood fantasy of being the hero, he learned the hard way that most of those heroes died, and he could have been one of them.

While in the military, Beck gained a best friend in his bunkmate Jono. Jono was a Texas man. Quiet, and reserved for the most part, but he loved talking about home, and the ranch he grew up on. Beck found that they had a lot in common, especially growing up. Jono too was seen as the meek child, and he too picked fights to prove himself. They also had some of the same likes, dislikes, favorite foods… It was almost as if they were the same person sometimes. Beck never saw Jono without a cup of his instant coffee. He was actually convinced that the guy’s blood was just pure instant coffee with how much Jono drank. The two were nearly inseparable, even going so far as to share CDs that their families sent them in care packages from back home.

Beck lost his friend, however, when Jono got into a rather nasty bar fight with a civilian. The civilian didn’t survive their injuries, and Jono was quick to be dishonorably discharged. He was lucky he wasn’t tried for murder on top of that, but the dishonor was punishment enough for the proud pilot.

Despite working mainly as a transport pilot, he saw enough to make him almost glad he wasn’t a fighter. He learned how to manage a crew well, and could take control without raising his voice. Something that most weren’t able to do. His calm was respected by almost everyone. He had a good run, and retired at age twenty eight. Upon coming home, Beck was hired on as a mechanic in a shop that his father had hooked up for him before he and his mother moved away. June chose to stay with Beck. His first year back, he took a bad hit to the face. He’d been working on a car, a simple routine tire change. The tire exploded while he was trying to get it off, and the tire iron came back and slashed him across the face. One hospital trip and a few stitches later he was back in business with a rugged scar to tell his story.

Beck is not a man who cares about how he looks or what he wears. Other than a shower, and maybe doing laundry every once in a while, Beck would rather wear the same thing over and over again than stand at a full closet and ponder what to put on for the day. His sister, however, has other plans. June constantly buys him the latest trends. This comes with the money and knowledge of the hottest topics from running her own YouTube channel. While Beck doesn’t watch her videos, nor does he know much of anything about what she does, he supports her nonetheless, and even goes so far as to appear in some of her videos when she asks.

Beck is a kind, but silent man. He prefers to show how he feels through actions rather than words. He had found through his military life, that speaking really isn’t his thing. Normally when he attempts to talk things through with someone, especially with confrontation, his own lack of better words gets him into more trouble than it is worth. It makes him a man of few words, but it doesn't mean you can't coax him into opening up. June helps with this as much as she can, as she is much better at defusing situations than her burly big brother.

Beck is a very family oriented man. Every year, he and June take a trip to Florida to visit their parents, Lawrence and Lindsey Wyatts. Their mother is known for her green thumb. She is always in her garden tending to the plant life, shoeing away pesky caterpillars and digging up new plots to plant more seed. Lawrence, however, is the opposite. He spends most of his days inside, early onset dementia making it hard for him to go much of anywhere. The family try to keep their thoughts about him positive despite his declining mental state.
