Davis Loren
“If people 'round here knew who I really was? I don't know if I'd have a bullet in the back of my head or a ransom sent back home.”| The Fool || AGE |20
| SPECIES - ETHNICITY |Human, Argosi/Etherian Parentage
| PERSONALITY |Davis was born and raised in this new era of technology and prosperity, though living the life of a merchant's son, he's naive and unaware of the nature in the outside world. Growing up in Tricot, he's never seen the dangers and the struggle of frontier living, nor has he been trained in any sort of fighting style.
| SKILLS - ABILITIES |- Merchant
- Charisma - Davis was raised to follow in his father's footsteps as a spice trader in Tricot. Because of his upbringing, he is skilled in both diplomacy and bartering. If words can kill, Davis is as deadly as they come. Sadly, words aren't as effective as bullets, which isn't as useful.
- Fast Talking - Davis is an exceptional liar, and uses his quick wits to defuse situations, or to throw blame onto another party. His silver tongue and surprising charm do come in handy in these situations.
- Dumb Luck - Not much of a skill per say, but more of a natural ability, Davis has had surprising luck surviving out in the wilds on his own so far. This doesn't make him bulletproof or safe, however, as it seems that he constantly gets in worse trouble the deeper he goes.
| FLAWS - DISADVANTAGES |Davis IS skilled with speech, he has very little skills anywhere else in his repertoire. He has absolutely no training with firearms or normal weapons, making him a bigger danger to himself and his allies in a firefight or a brawl. He also has very little knowledge of how life works outside the big city.
Due to his family's history with the Argosian Empire, Davis has very little love for Argosian nationals and the Imperial Government. His quick temper due to his family's own background with the Empire can get him in deep trouble, especially when he lacks any strength or skill to back himself up.
| INVENTORY - EQUIPMENT |- Dragon SA Revolver -As basic of a revolver as a man can find. Common across the land and used by ranchers, outlaws and lawmen. Balanced, albeit slow firing.
- Steel Hunting Knife -Simple, metal, good for cutting, skinning and cooking. Just don't stab yourself.
- Shipping Manifest -A piece of paper with particular items, owned by the Loren family.
| BACKGROUND |Born and raised with the aim of being the next in line to inherit the Loren shipping business, Davis was never exactly trained or taught in the ways of the frontier. He spent all of his life in Tricot, enjoying a good education, wealthy friends and a comfortable, albeit uneventful life. Still, he found his relationship with his father constantly being strained due to his more gregarious activities such as gambling in local bars, chasing after young dancing women and drinking a little too much. Brought to task and threatened to be thrown out of his family's home, Davis was given the opportunity to redeem himself in his father's eyes: assist with a new shipment being brought into the docks, and prove he could be a responsible man.
It was going well to begin with. Whatever his father was having shipped in from the west was important; and important enough for a group of bandits to rush in, killing several dock workers and taking off with the cargo. Ashamed of failing his father, Davis purchased a gun, a train ticket to Blackwood and began his search for the cargo and the men who stole his livelihood.
| GOALS - ASPIRATIONS |Davis will do anything to redeem himself and his family, even if it puts himself directly in the line of fire. While his lack of ability, his smooth talking ways and his idiocy may make him out to look like a coward, his refusal to let this incident go puts him somewhere between the realm of bravado and stupidity. While he constantly finds himself out of his element, fighting to both learn the ways of the world and save whatever innocence he has himself, he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and get intro trouble--even if that means getting his companions into deep trouble as well. Beyond his own personal aspirations, Davis does have a good heart as well. He hates seeing suffering and injustice, as it's something he's barely experienced in the safety of the capital city. He's also a skirt chaser, but what young rake isn't in these times?
And yes, I know that as Co-GM I can probably go ahead and post it, but I DEMAND YOU TO ACCEPT ME FOR WHAT I AM
