It all started with a card game.
Way back, before there were stars in the sky, before there was an Earth to live on, before there were cattle to drive, and before there were guns to shoot, there was a table, cards, dice, and chips. Of course, a game needed players.

This is the world of Lucky Bastards. At the 'center' of the world is the Wasteland, the vast area of plains and desert that many call home, whether they be farmers, craftsman, gunslingers, or bandits. To the north lies Akaria, the kingdom of machines where steam is king. Even further north lies Rhys, a frozen hell where a tyrant rules. To the east is Shaq'ir, a desert land where gold, spice, and silk flow freely among the many merchant houses. To the south are the scattered island nations of Iris, where swordfighting, honor, and chivalry still live.
There were 4 players at this table.
The first was the Dealer, the first gunslinger. He bet his Book of Games, where he learned how to play all of these games.
The second was Snake-Eyes, the first of the magi. He bet his eyes, which granted him sight of things that were not meant to be seen by men.
The third was Lady Luck, the first thief. She bet her cards, which she had stolen from the Dealer a long, long.time ago.
The fourth was Roulette, the first craftsman. He bet his tools, which he had used to build many things, including the Dealer's revolver and the table at which they played.

This particular story will follow a small group of self-proclaimed vigilantes (the eponymous Lucky Bastards) coming from all walks of life, most of them... Not so savory. Despite this, they're dedicated to trying to protect the many towns scattered around the Wasteland, whether it be from monsters, bandits, or hostile tribes. Though they might be a bit over their head... A man who claims to be a reincarnation of the Dealer has gathered a rather large following and plans to unite the Wasteland, though many still don't believe him, despite his seemingly god-like powers. He has responded... Negatively. Sure, the Wasteland does need to unite, but not everything is as it seems.
The game took years to complete. It was a complicated game, and the only game from the book of games that the Five had never played. Finally, on the fifth year the Dealer set down the winning card, taking the whole pot. He then took the others aside, and explained an idea he had.

He was going to build a new world.
And they were to be gods.

So a few of you may have been part of the old Lucky Bastards, which followed the Prophet on her journey to find the Jokers, two legendary artifacts, at the behest of the Dealer himself, and this takes place after where I planned to take that story, and is connected (and the characters from that RP may or may not make an appearance...

Our characters will come from all walks of life, whether they were cattle rustlers, or bank robbers. Machinists from Akaria, tribal shamans, warriors from the Iris islands, preachers, or barmaids. Wherever your character came from, they ended up with the Lucky Bastards.

Keep in mind, while magic does exist it's fairly rare. A few followers of the Gambling Gods (and the other religions too,) can do minor magics (mostly of the healing sort), as well as tribal shamans and there's even a school for the magical arts in Akaria (though it's small and rather secluded). As such, I will only a allow a few characters with magical talent. Otherwise, magic is rather freeform with how it works. Make sure to describe your characters particular style of magic in your post.






So here are my (currently WIP) characters

Kaz "Lucky Bastard" Landon and Spades Dealer
Sam "Sandyeti" Adams
Lovec "Rook" Stauton

Name: Lovec "Rook" Stauton
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Nationality: Shaq'ir
Appearance: Rook isn't a very tall man, about just under average height actually. He has dark black, short hair and always keeps his clothes clean. At first glance he gives off the look of a business man but upon closer inspection most people could see the various scars and wrinkles he'd been left with.
Personality: Rook is very cold and distant towards strangers if he doesn't need something from them, and even when he does it only slightly changes his attitude. He only warms up to people after a bit of time with them.
Background: Rook was the second youngest of 4 children, three sons and a daughter, to a criminal and an outlaw. His oldest brother, curious and cheerful, joined a group of travelling merchants to see the world, Rook has only seen him for shorts amount of time and only by chance. His second oldest brother, egotistical and bull headed, left home to start his own settlement and be a hear to the people. His sister, hateful and greedy, left home to start a gang and later killed their father. Rook was the child his father cared for the most and gave him his first gun, his sister murdering their father sparked a rage in him and he became a bounty hunter. His ultimate goal is to eventually catch and kill his sister but she is difficult to track. So for now he has been hunting other, smaller bounties.
Gear: Two double action revolvers, bola, and a length of rope.
Skills: Rook is extremely fast, though not unnaturally so. He prides himself on being out to take out a room of people before they can get a shot off.

I think a magic-using character would be fun. Like, subtle, dark magic, using dice for fortune-telling and animal bones for small illusions. I'll think about it.

I suppose I could join, right?

Name: Rodolfo "Rondo" Galvana
Sex: M
Age: 24
Nationality: Iris
Appearance:


Personality: Rodolfo is a narcissistic gentleman who, at first glance presents himself as an educated, yet eccentric nobleman who has all the ladies longing for but it's not but a facade for his impulsive and maniacal attitude, even a bit on the sadistic side. Do not mistake this for evilness, as he still keeps a high sense of honor and will not hesitate to defend his pride and punish those that he considers "unjust", even if his sense of justice is rather twisted and biased. Although this contradicts with his combat pragmatism, but as he says "I would love to cheat in a fight if I could, but I've never been in such a situation that calls for cheating." He sometimes prefers to be called by his last name

Background: Born into a noble family of Iris, Rodolfo had spent most of his life doing mainly four things: breaking the hearts of countless women, fencing and getting into fights with both noblemen and street hoodlums, reading and studying and most important, playing cards and betting with his friends, who changed every session because Rodolfo seemed to win almost always thanks to an unprecedented luck. Because of a conflict involving a rival family, he ran away from his country with all his money and has been roaming the wasteland for some years since then.

Gear: Rodolfo carries a revolver sword that can hold up to 7 shots before needing to reload. He often likes to play "Russian roulette" with his yielding opponents. He also carries a pouch with water, provision and an insane amount of money in gold coins, not to mention ammunition for his gun and a sharpening rock, of course. He also carries a concealed pocket gun that holds one, and only one shot and is hidden somewhere in his body, he considers it "the last measure" and has never been used.

Skills: His shooting skills could be described as "just average" because of his unusual weapon messing with the aim, although he is still capable of hitting a moving target that is 20meters away (66feet), what he really shines in is sword fighting, which, although he was supposed to be trained in classical fencing, he employs a more brutal and aggressive variation that involves heavy slashes and wide arcs added to the usual piercing. He knows how to ride a horse, he is a smooth talker with the ladies and can withstand absurd amount of alcohol without getting drunk, which he takes advantage of for bar bets.
