Background
'Bush' Pilot - Dusty spent much of his time in the Outer Rim, hopping from world to world and helping pilot transport freighters that were moving valuable supplies from outpost to outpost. He unfortunately had a penchant for finding trouble in the air, especially from eager pirates. He lost several cargo runs thanks to some risky flying in attempt to better his adversaries instead of just fleeing from them.
Visionary Opportunist - With the Rise of the Empire, the news of the Rebellion snuck into Dusty's brain and he couldn't shake the idea that it would be far more fun and rewarding to shoot down some Imps rather then be chewed out by his Supply Company's boss. He has been shuffled around several cells due to his eagerness to find trouble, as several disgruntled deck officers refused to let him fly their starfighters. That brought him to the Lantillies Sector.
Motivation
Conflict - Adrenaline Junky
Dusty is always itching for the thrill of the fight. Being chased, or doing the chasing, nothing beats the moment-to-moment excitement of a dogfight. Coming out of a space battle knowing that you bettered your opponents is a high Dusty is regularly chasing.
