Morrigan Desch

Human

Bounty Hunter

Morrigan is someone whose approach to her troubles is one of casual disregard. Often treating her weapons as mere tools to get the job done, save for her favorite set of guns, she appears to enjoy her situation as a way to vent her hidden sadistic nature. She rather enjoys dueling with others in a playful yet brutal manner and she maintains her cool even when up against staggering odds. She tends to operate alone and prefers to do things by herself if going on an assignment and not get encumbered by other people. She can also be construed as somewhat impatient, especially towards the more "talkative type" of enemy; that being said, she’s all too willing to hear them if they’re willing to talk in the bedroom.

Morrigan’s life story isn’t anything special; quite frankly, she’s always had an urge to mess with people be it verbally, mentally, or physically. While she can admit that she may have been a bit nicer in her youth, reality hits hard for those in this cruel wild west. As a result, she took to the life of thievery and petty crime rather early in order to survive on the streets. At some point there was no limit to what she would have committed for the simple joy of being bad and it became more about the rush than about the money.

Eventually, like all criminals, she was put down by a rather elusive individual simply known as Huntress. Considering the sheer quantity of her crimes, there was no question that she wouldn’t receive the death penalty in her small dusty town. But alas, the Huntress intervened, pardoning her of all sin in the efforts of redemption. Morrigan has not forgotten this rare act of kindness.

These days she’s stealing people instead of stealing food, but all for the sake of her job of course. As a renowned bounty hunter, she’ll take on whatever deal that satisfies and impresses her. Currently, talk of the Wishing Star has been the buzz of the land and she’s been contracted by a mysterious benefactor to seek it. Even so, she doesn’t particularly care for the Wishing Star and isn’t opposed to helping someone else obtain the rare relic. For the right price, of course.

Desperado and Clutch: Two pistols that Morrigan carries on her at all times. She’s not above using anything she can get her hands on as a weapon, but the guns stay with her due to their reliability and functionality in combat. Using compressed air, both guns are able to fire off their bullets slightly faster than the average firearm; a skill Morrigan uses greatly to her advantage. These twin guns share the special ability of being able to fire a variety of specialized bullets, provided Morrigan can obtain them.

Aside from the armor she “confiscates” and sells off from captured criminals, Morrigan wears no armor herself and is rather flippant about it too. To her, it ruins the appeal of her “natural charm” or so she says. Besides, bounty hunters aren’t supposed to be wusses and wear armor. Because of this, she’s often wearing long-jacketed attire as a sign of her status as a bounty hunter, though also loose-fitting given the climate hazards of the wild west.

Although Morrigan doesn’t have a strong affinity in the magical arts, the subject does interest her greatly. So much so that she enjoys fighting with or against magic users in what she deems as “self-checkups”. Whether she has some skill in magic is unknown as she’s never bothered to rely upon it.

Morrigan has an unprecedented skill for gunplay and shows adequate mastery of whatever new weapons are available to her; at least enough skill to keep herself alive. Her combat style is brutal, able to effortlessly slay opponents by combining traditional “run and gun” and “gun-kata”, something she does more for show than actual combat effectiveness. That, and she’s not above playing dirty to win the fight. As such, she tends to range from close-ranged combat to playing it safe from a distance when she knows she’s outmatched in power.

Probably not a real skill by all means, but Morrigan is an expert when it comes to knots. Probably from her business as a bounty hunter, to which she knows the law enough to get around certain barrier via loopholes of all kinds. On another note, she seems to also get around alot...

Morrigan doesn’t have in terms of a full-scale inventory, though she keeps around the basic tools of survival. Like money. A single monocle is placed over her right eye; whether this holds some deeper meaning has yet to be seen. Finally, she’s always seen wearing her trademark hat to remind people who she is.

Morrigan holds roughly 130-150 gold on her along with 30 pieces of silver and 40 copper; she’s not willing to tell the exact price to those who need to mind their own business. As a bounty hunter, it’s possible she’s got a little extra saved on the side by who knows really.
