Name:Jethro "Roy" Rogers
Nickname/Alias: The Bandit
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Long brown hair with some brown stubble to match he has a brown coat and classic cowboy get up. A black cowboy hat with a white feather to remember his 'pure' days. His old bandolier matches the raggedness of the rest of his outfit. About 6 feet tall Caucasian with a darker dirty complexion Jethro is built like any cowboy but more imposing with slightly broader shoulders.
Location: He currently resides in the deserts of California
Settlement: A drifter however he does have a hideout of sorts. An old mine town now named Crux-Rest is a small desert haven for Jethro. He decided to settle there because it is where his partner in justice and ex-lover Lira Crux is commemorated. After the Apocalypse Jethro renamed the town in her honor. Due to the fact that it's where he shed his last tear over her death.The town is now mostly inhabited by the wannabe Bandit gang however it's not all criminals and savages you can find families protected by the 'gang' as well. Outsiders aren't greeted with a pillow and blanket but not a smoking gun either. If one can prove themselves valuable or just not a threat to the sanctuary of the town they are welcome to stay.
Profession: An ex-hero
Skills:Horseback riding, Horse taming, Wrangling, Hunting, Marksmanship, Gun Twirling, Lassoing, hand-to-hand combat, poker.
Powers: Has the ability to safely charge small objects up to the size of a bayonet with potential energy. This potential energy releases on a substantial enough impact or if over charged by Jethro. This potential energy releases in an explosion that varies in power. The power depends on how long he takes in charging the object. However the higher the charge the less stable the object is. The object when charged glows a faint orange aura in the dark. All Jethro needs to charge an object is to touch it. Both hands can individually charge but charge faster when focused on one object.
Weaknesses: His own power drains him physically. If he tries to charge an object too big he would most likely go into cardiac arrest. In more minor cases he will pop a blood vessel. He can charge around 100 bullets or bullet sized objects maximum with the explosive power of a frag grenade in about an hour without passing out.
Weapons: 2 silver six-six shooter pistols,a shoe with pop out blade, machete, a hunting rifle, a lasso, two grenades, a cyanide pill.
Armor/Clothing: His typical desperado get up (see appearance), a light bulletproof vest underneath his shirt, a locket with a small picture of Lira in it
Equipment and Supplies: Rope, a Canteen of whiskey, a bandolier full of ammo (with speed loaders), a black bandanna and a deck of cards including the jokers.
Personality: Jethro is a man with a scarred past, one that he doesn't care to remember. Anybody who calls him Jethro is looking for the barrel of his gun. 'Roy' as he now prefers is a self loathing introvert. He only comes to social places to gather a team for a job or for more whiskey. A shell of the hero he used to be he has abandoned all his past and looks silently to the future for guidance. His poker face is the face he wears day in and day out. A silent presence in Crux-rest he is a myth, a shadow, the sheriff only in the darkest of times.
History: Justice is what Jethro stands for, justice however is a hard word to define. Jethro is the product of genetic experimentation. At birth he was stolen from the Black River Village Hospital along with 7 other newborns he was taken to a cult camp. This cult (who's name is still unknown) believed these 8 were to be sacrificed for the cult to prosper. So they pumped each newborn full of experimental drugs stolen from an abandoned what was believed to be meth lab. Every baby except Jethro died a terrible painful death. Jethro however was only pumped half full of chemicals when the local authorities arrived. The police were being slaughtered and in the heat of battle saved the newborn without even investigating the tubes he was hooked up to. Jethro was taken to a boys home where he lived out his days until adulthood.
However in high school Jethro who now went by 'Roy' met Lira. They were perfect for each other and the best part was. Both of them being late bloomers had just discovered they had supernatural abilities. Lira could fly and Jethro well we already know about his powers. It turns out Jethro's abilities were dormant due to the lack of testosterone to set off the chemicals in his blood stream. The two were madly in love and married at 19. Both took up the super hero life going as 'The Sheriff' and 'Dust'. For the years they kept A better part between Santa Fe and Phoenix safe.
Then one night on their anniversary Lira didn't show up to dinner. Jethro impatiently waiting received a call from her 20 minutes late. Lira spoke these exact words
"Roy." That's it, she hung up. That's all that's needed to be said. Lira always called Jethro by his real first name and was the only person that did. Jethro rushed home and found Lira in his car with the engine running in the garage dead. Suicide. No note was left and Jethro was needless to say devastated. The next day the apocalypse happened.
Lira's spontaneous suicide forced Jethro to shut out the world during the apocalypse. Helping nobody but himself, he moved to the dessert and lived in solitary for years.The sheriff died with Lira and nobody patrolled the streets during the time that they needed it most. Jethro marked by tragedy took up the bandana and started roaming and ended up in California. He took over a town of scum he felt was a good place for Lira's memorial and settled as best he could. Occasionally he will rob others and now justice is interpreted by Jethro as, he takes what he wants to fill the void the best he can.
Other:His six shooters' names are Dante and Westley. Both names are engraved on the corresponding guns.
