Born in the summer of 1969 at Woodstock, his father, Hoss Franklin had been there working security with his fellow Hell's Angels for the music festival. After the festival, they packed up and headed home for a suburb of Chicago, where his parents still lived today. It didnt take too long for Carrie and "Hoss" to realize that their son, Aloysius, was quiet different from the rest. There was something about their son that was special that set him above all others, it seems that their son was a bonafied genius. Early in they always treated his son like he was normal, wanting him to have some sort a normal life, even though he was years above the rest in his academic studies, well, a normal as a life as he could around the Hell's Angels. His sister Monica was born three years later, still close to them all even to this day, it seemed that the change that would happen to him later in life, never changed how his family felt about him. Graduating from high school early in his teens,he chose his path in life, perhaps it was what he had witnessed around him, the life that his parents lived, those that they associated themselves with, not that they are bad people, anything but, or was it the lessons of life that his mother had taught him, if field of study became Philosophy. He quickly earned the nickname because of his size, towering over most when he hit is mid teens, funny how the nickname that he was given would soon become what he was to become. Bear finished up his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at the University of Illinois , winning a Rhodes Scholarship to study at the University of Oxford, and that was where his life would be forever changed. A beautiful brown haired beauty came walking into his class, something about Pamela that that he seemed drawn to. The two quickly were in each other's company, he had no knowledge of what she was, not that it would have mattered, he wasnt raised that way, never judged people by what they were, judging them by their deeds and what laid inside of their hearts. One night, she came to hime wanting to take a walk out in the woods, thinking nothing of it, he went along with her. It was that night that he learned what he was and what he was about to become, attacked and turned on purpose at the age of 18. Pamela did teach him about all that he was, once he calmed down and the anger was gone. After all could you blame him, for what she had done, but then he saw it as a gift instead of a curse. Time passed and his scholarship ended, it was time for Bear to go back home to his family, and to continue his studies back in Chicago, back to the welcoming embrace of family that still accepted and loved him. He quickly slipped back into his life in Chicago with great ease, obtaining two Doctorate degrees one in Middle Eastern Philosophy and one in Western Philosophy. But despite the love, despite the closness of his family, his sister and her two nephews "Adonis" and "Pretty Boy" he felt caged within the city and needed room to roam, heading into the mountains of Montana. That peace and quite ended 5 years after heading into those mountains, when a human by the name of Danger McShane crash landed into his life. One day while out walking upon his property he came upon the little blonde spitfire knocked out cold, taking her to his cabin, nursing her back to health, not realizing the impact that she would have upon her life, but he wouldnt change things for anything in the world. She talked him down from that mountain or maybe it was just time for him to leave to rejoin life once again, after five years of solitude. They traveled the world, stunts and racing, he had a knack for metal and motors that had always been a hobby for him in the past, building bikes and rods, until a call came from his sister and the pair traveled to Chicago to pick up his two nephews who were quickly taking the wrong path in life, his sister thinking a little time would Uncle Bear would straighten them out. They were all a family, and the three he considered his "cubs" and they knew better to do as the Bear said or things would get "grizzly" quickly, he put up with no bullshit from neither of them. A trip to Athens, another "cub" joined "the crew" Blue, the son of a shipping tycoon, who much like Danger, his parents cared more about money and possession than their own child, taking yet another "cub" under his "paw", so to speak. One last great stunt done by the group before finding themselves in Vegas, for what they thought was a brief stay. Danger got herself tied to a vampire, not once but twice, still tied to Sage this day. Vegas as where he met his soul mate, a spicy little red head who became his wife. Friend had been made with a young leopard, one that Danger had met, Aislinn Donnchadh, who came to work briefly at the shop that they own in Vegas, teaching the you ng kitten what he could, while her mate was away, proud of her, of what she has become this day. Now they find themselves in London, will life be quite here, somehow he doubts it Bear has three philosophies in life, never judge another by their cover, violence isnt always the answer and just because you can do something doesnt mean that you should.
