-Breaking Points-
--Worst thing ever done?--
* Eat food from a trash merely out of fear it go to waste in a time of mental fatigue.
--Worst imagined act (self?)--
* Judging who gets to live or die, either for their 'sins' in a seat of power, or in an infamous "condemn a few to die so many can live" scenario.
--Worst imagined act (others)--
* Disillusioned mass murder or abuse over a broken belief/agenda. While he can understand a flawed motive for even the most heinous of crimes (a want of power, belief, etc) a near or truly motiveless crime or one with virtually no (even perceived) gain by it's actor would be hard for him to rationalize.
--What's been forgotten?--
* A creature, perhaps fey or dream lander, that was meant to protect a gateway of some kind that Drake stumbled across as a child. Whether this was a gate to the hedge, some dream realm, or somewhere between has long sense been lost by memory. Normally the guardian would go unnoticed, but unfortunately he was there at the right time to see said creature become captured, and supernaturally twisted in to some horrible beast against it's own better nature as a shadowy being took on the original guardian's appearance as if stolen, ready to lay in wait like a spider with the face of a godmother waiting for it's prey. He ran, deathly afraid, and was haunted by what he saw... and later realization that others may have fallen for that trap, with him able to do nothing about it. Eventually, it was mostly forgotten all together save for a feeling of regret and a need to do better.
--Most traumatic thing?--
* Severe child abuse and near starvation that lead to a very young(age 6~7) near-suicide. Both the crux of his life-long Vocation and occasional rare bouts of Fugue/Dissociation when he is too deeply reminded of the negative aspects of his childhood.

-----------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Drake has a rather young looking face, though it often rests in a monotone, almost aloof expression. When around those who have managed to befriend him, or uncommonly on exceptionally good days this can turn in to a smirk and a normally quiet demeanor opens up in to one that is prone to rambling on about any number of topics, or listening to another do the same. His hair is noticeably thinning at his relatively young age, much to his chagrin if noticed, and often left somewhat unkept even when in uniform. He is rarely fully shaven, though also never with a proper beard, passing by with a stubble even in uniform which he swears he has the "waiver" for. While off work, he often wears very casual and worn down clothing either in neutral or cooler colours, often with various internet or volunteer organization slogans. He hides his thinning hair usually under a bandana, or in a sillier mindset may even tie it in to a headband. In colder weather, he tends towards wearing one of his many collected hoodies, from various wolf-designs to "The Hoodie of Grey Tomorrow", Hoodies from the Squadrons he's served in, or his signature Wolf-patterned Fleece coat.
-----------------------------------------
-History-
As a very young child, Drake was raised alongside his brother(born female) by his father and a step mother. Unfortunately the latter took poorly to the two children when their father was away, and his early years were filled with life-threatening abuse and near-starvation. Even when eventually pulled away by child services, his mother found herself working 80+ hours a week to keep herself and children alive and healthy, and her vices didn't make this any easier.
With the shadows of his brother's pain and his own, the dream world became an escape. His step mother would often remind him how lucky he was to have a roof, or anything at all. However, seeing both the worst and best of people in the dreamlands, despite his abuse he turned her words in to his mission. If others were worse than himself, and even he suffered... rather than give up, he could live his life to see the world do better. As he helped and was helped in his dreams, he wished to take those dreams in to reality. With a younger brother to protect and an ideal growing in his heart, he began to overcome his life of shadows. His is curiosity of those unusually vivid dreams never did die even as they became rarer, leaving a sense of longing, but his smoldering light was now tempered with an idealistic purpose.
As he came of age in to his adulthood, he had mostly recovered from his trails of his very young age. His older childhood was rough, but it wasn't abusive. He had made a few close friends, and he had even taken up a job to help support his mother and brother. But he ran in to yet another road block in his high ideals of a better world... There was no way his family could afford college. Relationship hardship and the burden of caring for his family meant he never had time to excel in school for a scholarship. Still, he persistent held on.. burning slowly day by day as he found odd temp jobs to get by, saving money slowly. It was in the following years Drake and one of his closest friends, John, sought to join the military to seek college and maybe make the world better from within the political system. John was always the more politically savvy one, and more physically fit as well, but Drake was held back by his own fears of ever harming another for his own gain and at the time poor health. Once more, his persistence saw him keep his dream alive, training, studying, but it was his inspiring friend that kicked him with one last ultimatum. He wouldn't be young forever, and this door would close sooner than it would open. He needed to either join or find a new path, and Drake held back no further.
Despite tarnishing and smoldering, his bright heart and mind began to excel in his new job. His kind almost naive nature was always ready to help any of his colleagues in need. This coupled with a work ethic hardened by his younger life meant that while he was not always the most skilled at his job, he became quickly relied on as an encouraging leader on the working floor. Not in charge, but inspiring others to their own bests, and the willingness to face those in charge if he was in the right to do so.
