You wouldn’t expect a cigar-chomping, cage-fighting strongman and a gentle, kleptomaniac mechanic to be friends, let alone lovers like Scrap the Grizzly and Pockets the Panda, but they somehow make it work.

As members of the S-Factor mercenaries, they both serve an essential funciton. Scrap is the classic strongman, with his massive morningstar, Scrap is fully capable of knocking down solid steel walls. Scrap is every bit the vice-loving layabout he might seem like. He loves to drink, smoke, and fight. It’s rumored that Scrap has a past that he wants to keep under wraps, and that his real name might be something like “Lucian”

Pockets is an anomaly, a mysterious thief and master mechanic, she was captured by Dr. Eggman’s machines and almost roboticized, only to escape at the last second. On her way out, she stole a prototype subspace coat, designed to hold huge or excessive amounts of items, and then she filled the pockets with anything she could find on her way out. This gives her a…random arsenal. There’s an equal chance she could pull out a missile battery to get the S-Factor out of a jam as she could to pull out a jar of relish.

Pockets helps out the team with her airbike Extreme Gear, the Iron Whale, designed to be as fast as possible while also plowing through any barrier. Pockets mainly serves as the team’s cavalry and artillery support, using her vast arsenal to provide Scrap and Scope with

Together, they’re the oddest couple in the entire northwest of the continent. Scrap is the most stubborn bear you’ll ever meet, and when he’s busy indulging his vices Pockets is the only one that can get him off of his bar stool and get him to work. On the other hand, Scrap is the only one that can keep Pockets from randomly stealing things, which helps when the group is dealing with a client who does NOT take theft well.

Pocket is definitely the one who wears the pants, and easily drags Scrap around by his little finger to make sure he does as he’s told, no matter how much he whines.
