He’s perfectly okay riding with a posse if more than one gun is necessary on a mission, but he prefers to work alone as he isn't very trusting. That being said he’s got a good heart and he’s loyal to a fault, he just has his own way of showing affection. Usually his friendliness comes out in the manner of an insult or snide remark. Jean’s also well known for his seemingly endless list of cheesy one-liners and puns that he comes up with on the spot, often to the tune of degrading his opponents or vaunting on his own accomplishments. Despite appearing to be just another cocky, smart mouthed, overconfident fool who’s decent at shooting, Jean tends to surprise people by living up to his bragging. For the most part anyway. [b]Bio:[/b] [hider=Bio] Born and raised on the great hill and plain planet of Tejaxs Prime, Jean Wylder spent his early life as a spugheffer wrangler, helping his pa drive the family herd across the galaxy. Life was rough, yet wonderful amongst the stars and space high-lanes that connected the populated planets of the Long Range. Out there in the wild cosmos Jean learned to ride, fly, and shoot from his pa; feeling the solar winds in his hair and feeling freedom in his heart. Out there in the untamed ranges outlaws and bandits were a common blight and Spugheffer wranglers were always ready for their kind. Except, no one could have been prepared for Cibby the Lad, and brigand from outside the galaxy who raided, stole, killed, and rode wherever he pleased. His name became feared across Long Range galaxy as posse after posse sent after him failed to bring him to justice. Cibby the Lad murdered and stole as he pleased leaving only bodies and devastation in his wake. The outlaw and soon to be lawman Jean came head to head one day when Cibby the lad made his first fatal error; raiding Jean's family herd in an attempt to steal the Spugheffers that the Wylder family had spent so long accruing. Jean, his father, grandfather, and two uncles battled the malicious gangsters in a bloody interstellar shootout that lasted longer than anyone else had ever lasted against Cibby. Alas it was for naught and the entire herd was taken and all the wranglers dead, except for one. Deserted in the wreckage of his spaceship, saved only by the iron of his plasma gun and oxygen mask that kept him alive. Jean had tried and failed to face down Cibby on his own, but was the first to survive such a confrontation. Jean Wylder had somehow survived the battle and plasma wounds. Found and brought back to a doctor by some sympathetic crystal miners Jean vowed vengeance, and justice for his shattered family and all those murdered at Cibby’s hand and order. Even before he'd fully recovered from his wounds Jean set out on his hunt for the infamous Cibby the Lad. Joining the Long Range Sheriff department out of Tejaxs Jean soon made it known he meant business. Although only a lad of seventeen at the time Jean began making a name for himself as the most dangerous and capable lawman this side of the star cluster. Alone during his six year path of vengeance he brought back more criminals to the hangman’s noose than any other sheriff on Tejaxs Prime. Jean fostered no high moral code that his peers amongst the Sheriff department held to such high esteem. He was more than willing to bring back outlaws dead or alive. Yet, no matter how vigorously Jean worked at catching Cibby, the outlaw always managed to stay one step ahead of the budding lawman. As both grew in fame they came to no each other as bitter rivals. They caused one another no end of grief and for the first time since beginning his days as a ruthless outlaw Cibby felt he might have met his match. At last, driven by desperation to rid himself of the persistent lawman Jean Wylder. Cibby the Lad decided to meet Jean outside a saloon in a tiny settlement west of San Mando's Divide. Cibby, confident in his ability to kill the younger man, stared Jean Wylder down for the second time in his life. Both were six years older, and more skilled to boot. They were young men in their prime with dangerous reputations for having uncanny speed when it came to the gun. At thirty paces and, with the reputation of being the fastest man alive Cibby went for his gun. The rest is history, and those who saw it pledge its true. Jean bested Cibby before the other man even slipped leather. Finished at last with his vengeance that dominated so much of his younger life Jean Wylder set himself to ridding the world of dangerous criminals. [/hider] [b]Age:[/b] 25 Cycles, roughly equivalent to the same number of years on earth. [b]Homeworld:[/b] Tejaxs Prime [b]Home Galaxy:[/b] Long Range Galaxy [b]Skills:[/b] [list] [*][i]Expert Marksman:[/i] Jean first and foremost is a gun slinging, tobacco chewing, Spughoss riding crack shot. Able to shoot and hit with his chosen weapons at insane speeds and with utter competence Jean isn't someone to mess with. [*][i]Capable Pilot:[/i] High-speed chases through ship wrecking asteroid fields is a normal day for the lawman Jean. Darting like a hummingbird through seemingly impossible to pass obstacles, outmaneuvering fighter ships, and catching up to fleeing bandits is all part of a days work. [*][i]Spughoss Rider[/i] No one can rope, train, and ride a Spughoss like Jean Wylder. Given a few months to work on a freshly roped beast and Jean will have it riding beautiful, ready to take on long dangerous missions onto any temperate planet. [*][i]Skilled Hunter:[/i] You can run across thousands of light years to entirely new galaxies. You can gather a gang of deadly outlaws around you. You can live on the move, change your name and surgically change your appearance. But if the Law wants you the Ranger will find you. Whether it takes a week or fifty years Jean Wylder will ensure you come to justice. [/list] [b]Weaponry/Equipment:[/b] [hider=Spacechester 2173] [i]The Top weapon depicted.[/i] A devastating shotgun style armament, the Spacechester 2173 is a favorite of Jean Wylder while on a posse or manhunt. It holds six cartage shells which release a deadly volley of tiny plasma bolts in a spreading cone shape dealing death or destruction to anyone within forty meters. Though short ranged the weapon is still highly accurate and in Jean's expert hands deadlier than a stamping herd. [i]"Y'all wanna meet someone who don't give a damn about how many of y'all there are? Cause I got her right here."

A laser point, solar energy pack powered, anti-armor weapon it displays its usefulness with almost 40,000 meter max range with a max effective of 13,000 meters. Equipped with an adjustable scope for long distance shooting, to short range combat this laser weapon can shoot up to thirty rounds a minute with a battery life of six hours at max capacity - max usage. And as a bonus it can rip through 11.2 inches of battleship grade armor and make a normal organic body literally explode! [i]"One shot, and bits of y'all everywhere. Some over there, lots over here..."[/i] [img]http://img01.deviantart.net/993b/i/2016/154/0/c/sci_fi_western_rifle_by_sir__render-da4whit.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Lawkeeper 2130] [i]The Middle Weapon Depicted[/i] No one within the Long Range Galaxy can fast draw one of these bad boys faster than Jean Wylder. While short range the Lawmaker has a high capacity plasma ring capable of holding a hundred anti-personnel plasma rounds. Jean keeps the pistol within arms reach at all time and sleeps with it under his pillow. The albeit older weapon might be outdated, but as Wylder always says, [i]"One classic is worth a thousand of them newer Spugheffer dung models them folk up in the big systems like to call a gun."

[i]"Old, deadly, and beautiful. My kinda weapon."[/i] [img]http://www.aceros-de-hispania.com/image/knives-penknives-herbertz/cocobolo-bowie-knife.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Bessy Girl] One of the fastest star ships in the Long Range Galaxy is the one and only AMB Iron Horse style Corvette affectionately named [i]Bessy Girl[/i] by Jean. Modified, armed and upgraded by the best within Texjas crime fighting engineers the ship is equipped with hyperspace engines, long to short range laser weaponry, and shield modules and an advanced AI maintainer wired into the vessel itself. It only requires a single crew member but can comfortably house and supply up to five passengers, or ten if they're prisoners or don't require comfortable quarters. The ship also houses Leeroy Jean's Spughoss on the lower deck.

The two have been together since before Cibby attacked the family, and due to the beast's long life span, incredible intelligence, and extreme power to two have made quite a team over their many adventures.
