Name:Lionel Albin Wickett
Aliases: Wicked Wickett, That Son of a Bitch
Age: 53
Birthday: February 9th
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Birth Planet: Deadwood
Allegiance: Browncoats, but only from a principled standpoint
Starting Location: Vengeance
Gender: Male
Occupation: Businessman/Moneybanks/Accountant
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 212 lbs
Build: Sagging some with age, with something of a gut
Eyes:Dark Brown
Hair: Black
Skin Tone: Cream-toned skin that’s gotten leathery
Scars: Plenty. None of them from what you think they would be
Personal Style: Lionel tends to wear variations on one dark grey pinstripe suit. Whether this is out of convenience’s sake, or if he just really likes the look of that one specific suit isn’t something he addresses. When it’s really hot and he’s indoors or doing some physical work, he’ll take off the jacket of his coat, but that’s usually the most casual his attire will get when he’s in a potentially public place.
When getting ready for bed, he’ll put on his pajamas, an off-white one piece jumpsuit, complete with a buttflap for midnight/early morning bowel needs. They would be somewhat embarrassing were they not so comfortable and handy. Slip into it, and you’ve got a degree of comfort and warmness, even if you kick off the sheet or a bedmate hogs it all to themselves.
Calculating * Ruthless * Irritable * Eloquent * Crude * Independent
Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: Divorced
Personality: If you asked somebody what they thought of Lionel Wickett, you would get a term like “shrewd” from business partners, “greedy” from those that have gotten in his way and were summarily quashed, or even “a fucking asshat” from his ex-wife, Marsha. All of these things are true, but they wouldn’t provide as comprehensive a picture as you could get if you really got in his head.
“Ambitious” would be getting closer to a general idea of Lionel’s mindset, but you could still do better. The best word to describe Lionel is “killer.” He will kill (or have someone else kill for him) with no remorse if it serves his purposes, and not only will he not hesitate, it’ll be done quickly and cleanly. This doesn’t only cover the literal meaning of the word, but he will also kill a person’s character or their economic standing if he has the tools at his disposal. Now that’s not to say he’s a pyschopath or needs to kill for psychological reasons. He simply has no qualms about doing what is necessary to resolve a problem, and violence tends to be the best answer.
Lionel does have a soft spot for women and can’t stand violence towards them. He’ll tend to act somewhat more respectful to them by default, and he will try to look after a woman that needs help, but his chivalry does have limits. If a broad has a rifle pointed at you with full intention to fire, or such similar acts of aggression in his mind he chalks that up as turning in their woman card and as such will retrieve the same treatment as a man. Furthermore, he has little tolerance for idiots of either gender and will react to them in the same manner.

The Reason You Chose The Side You Did: “Well Miss, if you must ask about my political inclinations and other shit that isn’t any of your business, who am I to deny? I’ve got plenty of good reasons to detest the Alliance. They like to stick their protracted beaks in the businesses of everyone and then quash anything they don’t like, and even shit they do, just so they can squish their way in and run the operation themselves. They’re a bunch of pampered, money-pissing, lackadaisical, aristocrats that have no business administratin’ over the rest of The Verse. The fact that they’re also the root of the Reaver problem only shows how poorly equipped they are to deal with anything. The Brown Coats ain’t much better anyway. If they end up succeedin’ in overthrowing the Alliance, they’ll probably be just as incompetent.”
History: Lionel was actually born on the planet Londinium to a couple of parents that hated each other. Most nights of his and his sister Mary Ann’s childhood were interrupted with the noise of furniture crashing about, screaming, someone getting smacked (honestly it was a coin flip whether it was his mother or his father was on the receiving end that night). Despite this, he still did rather well in schooling, able to coast on his intellect for the majority of his developing years. And when he wasn’t using his smarts to not put in work towards classes, it was being put towards making money and controlling the school through social networks and an organized “crime” group that he directed from the shadows.
After Graduating, Wickett managed to find work rather easily in an office building. They regulated the creation and distribution of office supplies? Maybe? Whatever, it wasn’t important what they did, what’s important is what Wickett discovered while working there. First, despite being touted as a major shift in his life, work was basically the same shit as school when you got down to it. Second, he knew that if he wanted to, he could probably use the skills he learned as a kid to climb up the corporate ladder and make it rich as a CEO or something. Third, he learned that living on a Core planet was fucking boring, and he became distinctly aware of the oppressive atmosphere the entire system carried with it.
So he saved up credits and bought himself a ride to the Outer Rim, a shithole filled with shittier people and hard living, but more potential to really make something of oneself. Since taking up residence in Deadwood, Lionel Albin Wickett has managed to become rather infamous on the planet, becoming quite wealthy and influential, initially through acquisitioning many mines of valuable resources like iron and gold before expanding his horizons and branching out into anything from construction to brothels, but also for being a massive asshole. Somewhat recently, there was a bit of a situation involving Reavers burning his estate to the ground, the fucking homeless cannibals, so in the meantime, while he waits for everything to blow over, he’s decided to take a trip around The Verse. What’s the use of having wealth if you never get to see anything once you have it? So for the time being he’s made himself something of a stay-in passenger on the Vengeance. He’s paying that Captain Crowe good money. And on top of that he’s even helping them out as if they were his own employees. Perhaps even moreso.
