Jesse

“I want my payment, and I'm gonna get it one way or the other."

NAME
Jesse McElroy

ALIAS
Blackjack

GENDER
Male

SKILLS
Shooting: Jesse, being a bounty hunter, is exceptionally skilled at shooting all manner of weapons. Whilst he is most proficient in rifles such as his trusty Winchester Model 1895 rifle, he is pretty handy with revolvers and is a damn good shot. With his line of work, you gotta be good at fighting.

Brawling: When you can't use any more weapons, you still got your fists. Jesse isn't a trained fighter, but with the skills he's picked up over the years, he can still hold his own. A martial artist or those trained in melee combat will easily be able to beat him, but if it's a straight up brawl, Blackjack is gonna come out on top of a pile of unconscious bodies.

Survival: Travelling from town to town in search of contracts and missions has made him a capable survivor outside of the comfort of the Freetowns. Jesse can start fires for warmth and is very athletic and fit, allowing his body to combat the elements.

Intimidation: When Jesse puts on his "Bounty Hunter face" and becomes 'Blackjack', he is very good at making himself an intimidating sight. While he prefers not to use this method of getting his way, sometimes it is the only method to deploy. Mostly with boneheaded merchants or punks talking a big game.

PERSONALITY
Jesse is a straight to the point man. He prefers to keep interactions as simple as possible. He's not cold hearted, he just feels he's gotta keep moving on to get things done as quick as possible. The quicker he gets a job done, the quicker he gets paid. Jesse has always been a fighter, and never one to shy away from a good scrap or shootout. However, his penchant for trouble sometimes make situations worse than they need to be. He's rude for sure, especially to those he doesn't respect. Respect is a thing that needs to be earned, and the bounties are for criminals and scumbags, so they get none. Unfortunately, he has an issue of sticking in the fight instead of getting out of it. While he's not unsociable, don't expect him to get cosy with you. You're stuck with him as long as you need him, then he's taking his due and walking away.

HISTORY
Raised in Jefferson, Jesse was always exposed to violence and unfairness. He firmly believed that something had to be done about the gangs in the nation, but what was left of some form of law agency was either too scared to take action or paid off to turn a blind eye. However, his childhood was mostly surviving in the city and learning the ways of the worse kind of humans. He never knew his mother, so Jesse only had the harsh strictness of his father to raise him. However, it was his father who taught him how to shoot and how to fight. Jesse was a part of a small time gang too, wrong people. However, to Jesse, this was merely a means to an ends. It wasn't long before Jesse was old enough before his father allowed him to leave and make his own way in life. The parting gift was Jesse's first revolver to call his own.

At 16, Jesse was able to get one ticket to ride out of New Rojas and get the train out of Jefferson. One upset ex-gang and a shootout later, McElroy managed to escape the grasp of his gang and the grasp of Jefferson itself. With that, he set of to make a name for himself the only way he was brought up how. However, unlike most of the population of Jefferson, Jesse had a shred of a heart to not make money through what he deems as 'illegal' ways. However, he did find a job making use of his skillset by becoming a bounty hunter. 20 years of completing contracts, multiple shootouts and too much drinking that borders on needing a new liver, Blackjack has made a name for himself throughout the Freetowns.

INVENTORY

REASON FOR VISITING
Jesse is here to look for his next bounty, restocking supplies and definitely a damn drink or two.

RELATIONS
Max McElroy, Father- Max still lives in Jefferson, however he was the one who made Jesse who he was today, despite being a strict and sometimes uncaring father. Jesse never knew his mother, and Max never really talked about her. It was so little in fact that Jesse only knows her name.

Candice McElroy, Mother- Candice left when Jesse was just a week old. Without a word, note, or anything. No one knows where she is, or even if she's still alive. This made Max cold inside, and a major reason why he was so strict on Jesse.
