luckywithjacksWhee, that new character smell!
So, everyone, this is Faraday. He'll be taking over Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, and is hiring. So if you're interested in a job, let me know or have your character swing by sometime! And here's what you need to know
The Canon
Faraday hails from the 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven, which is not to be confused with the 1960 movie, the late 90s TV show, or the Japanese film The Seven Samurai which inspired all of the above. In this particular version of the classic story, a newly widowed fireball named Emma Cullen, founding member of the Bitches Get Shit Done Club, recruits Sam Chisolm, a duly sworn warrant officer of the circuit court of Wichita, Kansas who happens to be played by Denzel Washington, to help her build an army to defend her town from the psycho landgrabbing gold baron Bartholomew Bogue. Their army consists of Goodnight Robicheaux, a Cajun former Confederate sharpshooter with PTSD who you'll be hearing more about, his traveling companion Billy Rocks, who can and will kill a bitch with a hairpin, a loner Comanche warrior named Red Harvest, a Mexican outlaw named Vasquez (no first name given), legendary tracker gone half feral from isolation Jack Horne, and...*drumroll please* Joshua Faraday, drunk gambler and explosives enthusiast extraordinaire!
SPOILER ALERT: Faraday does not actually survive this movie, and comes to you very surprised to be currently alive.
The Guy
So, Faraday. Faraday is a drunk and a gambler, probably Irish, definitely wildly, recklessly brave, and kind of a jackass. He's good at distraction, card tricks, and shooting straight. He is less good at people. He tends to say the wrong thing, or to say the exact right to push someone's buttons (it's the gambler in him).
Speaking of pushing people's buttons, did I mention Faraday's from the 1870s? And not a particularly educated and enlightened socioeconomic position in the 1870s, either? (In fact, based on context clues he's probably from the part of the US temporarily known as the Confederacy, and may even have been old enough to serve in its army, although this is not established in the film.) Because that means he has decidedly non-modern vocabulary and views on various topics even before you consider that he's not the most sensitive guy around, so...he is probably going to say something offensive to your character at some point. Quite possibly deliberately, as part of his 'how far can I push this person before they literally shoot me' hobby. I am really sorry about this in advance. He has a good heart, though, I promise.
Oh, and uh, whatever you do, don't touch his guns.
So, yeah, I think those are the basics. Questions? Comments? Employment queries?
