name; Sterling Cruz
short personality;
Let's get down to business, no funny stuff. Sterling doesn't like beating around the bush or making conversation, he's the type that likes to get straight to the point. He's a hard-headed, stone-cold, condescending character who practically feeds off of fear and respect. He's snappy and has the short temper to boot, making him one guy you would hate to disappoint. While he definitely comes off as an intimidating guy, he's known for leaving good tips at any restaurant when he has an exceptionally attentive waiter/waitress; he admires hard work and will almost always reward it.
what does he use his webbed paws for?;
You wouldn't believe it, but Sterling uses his paws for dirty work. A very messy, almost unheard of task. That's right, pottery making. The webs on his paws help him form perfectly smooth, round surfaces when he's creating vases and other clay knick-knacks. It's one of his favorite pastimes, as it helps him wind down and relax after a hard day's work. Of course, he'd never admit it. I mean, how could such a large, ferocious-looking bear partake in such a gentle, quiet activity?
history;
Sterling grew up in a middle-class home, went to a lovely little public school, and had a very loving family. As a cub, Sterling was always an imaginative little fella, constantly coming up with new innovations and inventions to make our lives better, but everyone always laughed at him, called him a nerd for even trying to make his ideas come to life. It never ceased to bother him, and he'd often times isolate himself from others in order to avoid such ridicule. With time, he begun to ignore his own family as well, not wanting to tell them what was really wrong and why he was so quiet at dinner. He's a bear! He was expected to be a tough guy, not some soft little crybaby. Middle school is pretty much a blur to him, as the bullying ceased once he began hitting puberty, and his love for inventing had been crushed by those mean elementary school kids.
Come high school, however, it's an entirely different story. There's all sorts of extracurricular classes for him to take, and so many of them involving creativity of some sort. It all started with an art class, where he learned color theory, the basics of sketching, and different mediums he could use in creating masterpieces. His best work was always in pottery, however, when he learned he could create beautiful little bowls and was actually praised for such a job well done. He loved the peacefulness of art, but he also loved the creative aspect of it, and his teacher knew this. She'd compiled portfolios for every student, and had noticed that Sterling's was one of the most intricate and unique. She recommended he take an engineering class, where he could be more hands-on, and physically build and create to his hearts' desire. He was intimidated by the thought, not wanting to relive the days of being referred to as a 'nerd' or 'geek,' but he was also so drawn in by the aspect of fixing and improving things... turns out, engineering was his niche. He loved the class, and through it, made tons of friends, including some who were on the school's Robotics team. It wasn't long before Sterling was their team captain, and helping code and create the most efficient battle-bot they'd ever seen. Four years of engineering classes and being the head of the Robotics team lead to an array of scholarship offers from various colleges, one of which he eventually took in order to pursue a degree in computer sciences [major], and mechanical engineering [minor].
College hardened our fuzzy friend, however, and every day of it was hard work for him, no slacking off. Back to isolation, back to his works. Not long after graduating college, did Sterling become hired in the technology field, specifically in programming. When it was discovered that he was also a brilliant hacker, well, he became one of the most sought-out employees in the nation. Ever wonder why he wears that suit and is so intensely serious all the time? Well his job is very... secretive. Very important. It's not something he can share with you all, but let's just say, this agency pays him quite the pretty penny to keep his mouth shut...

Congratulations!
You really put a lot of effort into this form and I love his history!
