Is this beautiful, or what?

Dude is a pretty amazing individual, here he is in flight! I recently spoke to Bert about Dude's history. Here it is-

Dude is a bio-product of a future time, the 2400's. When a human's body fails through personal injury or illness, and when the brain remains intact, bio-engineers have the ability to encase the brain in a glass container filled with a preserving liquid. The brain maintains all of its previous senses and functions; however, the mechanical body is a very sophisticated machine which still operates mechanically in lieu of the human body. It mostly operates with normal motor functions, but lacks the ability to really touch and feel.

Dude was considered an excellent marksman in the military, before his terrible near-death. He had been quite proficient and skilled with a Colt pistol. He had almost been murdered near the end of The War of 2455, when an entire platoon of his men were caught by enemy troops in a Slavik country where they had been maintaining peace. He and his men were made to lay across a roadway face-down, then they were individually shot until each of them were killed. Nobody lived, except Dude. He lay face down for two days, until peaceful forces scared the enemy away and were able to get to him.

His brain and his other vital organs held onto life, just barely. He was rescued after he was found by American forces to a newer branch of the army medical services called the Special Brain Ops, or nicknamed the "Dead Man Walking Unit".

Dude is one of tens of thousand of these revived soldiers. The lives of these soldiers is much longer than that of normal human beings, for their bodies are no longer flesh, but metal. The only part of the individual which remains organic, is the brain. The body is trashed and the mechanical body becomes the house of the individual.

The glass dome which preserves his brain is super thick, but it can be harmed, and if penetrated, almost always proves to be deadly. Glass is generally used instead of metal, which can rust, or hard plastic, which becomes ruined by plastic toxins, or BPA's, over time.
