Name: Jim Daniel Vancock
Alias: Jimmy the Card
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Occupation: Gambler
Appearance: Jimmy still has the look of youth on him, someone you would more expect to see in highschool than out here. His hair is a dirty blonde color, though a little matted. He is skinny as a rail and doesn't weigh much of 150. He stands at 5'10', so only about average size too. The clothes he wears are tailored to fit him too, if they are a bit worn. His baby blue button up shirt goes well with his baby blue eyes, and the brown vest and belt with holster do well to break up the blue that is added in with his jeans. The boots he wears look like something you would fine a rich man buy rather than a rancher, but have a lot more age than something the former would wear. Currently he is without a hat, though quite a few wanted poster picture a wide-brim brown hat sitting on his head.
Skills:
- Bluff: Jimmy is an excellent liar, and is great at getting people to see his side when the truth is staring them in the face.
- Cheat: Jimmy doesn't like playing fair, he prefers to keep the odds in his favor. Whether thats keeping a few cards up his sleeve or knowing where to stand in a duel so the sun is in his opponent's eyes, Jimmy knows how to take advantage of a situation and stack the odds in his favor.
- Quick Draw: Jimmy has been called out quite a few times in cheating and gambling (and maybe sleeping with women he shouldn't), and thanks to his massive amount of dueling, Jimmy has learned the fine art of quick-drawing. He has become one of the fastest guns in the west out there. Hell there was one time he shot a guy while he was in the middle of the act with the man's wife.
Gear:
- On him: Nice comfortable clothes, a deck of cards, and a winning smile.
- On guards: A .45 Schofield revolver and holster, along with a box of ammo for it.
Personality: Jimmy tends to take things light-heartedly, and is always a big eager for a deal. He seems to always be smiling or peaceful, even when certain death is facing him. Its this cool front that throws people off his cunning and underhanded tactics, as he would make you feel like you are his best friend before the bullet hit you in the back of the head. He tends to put composure over all else, looking as if he stays calm even in the roughest of situations.
Bio: Jimmy started his life out as the youngest of the litter for Mr Johnson Vancock, owner of the Vancock Railroad Inc., a rather new railroad company looking to set itself up in the world. He took after his mom in his looks and charms, and his dad's ingenuity to get in through the world. Of course, being a rich kid and the youngest, he never really had any pressure for following in his father's footsteps so he never did. Instead he started using his looks and charms to go after the women and the booze and the gambling for fun. This kept up for a while until his father said enough is enough and threw him own, disowning him. (sleeping with the competition's daughter and them through a bad spin on that in the newspaper would do it).
Once Jimmy was thrown out, he did the only thing he knew how, drink, gamble, and sleep with as many women as possible. This got a lot of people mad at him, and out of need more than want he learned how to wield a pistol and use it quick, as most of the time the people coming after him wanted him dead and quick, so Jimmy had to learn and had to learn fast to be quicker. His skills developed, but so did his reputation.
The lawmen that have him now got lucky and caught him with his pants down... literally. Luckily he was worth more to them alive than dead so instead of being shot, he was thrown into the carriage.
Record:
Murder (Jimmy: Well, I've had my nights were I made a woman both happy and a widow.)
Arson (Jimmy: Now wait just a second here, I had no idea that the barrel there was full of gunpowder and would burn the house down.)
Resisting Arrest (Jimmy: What can I say? Everyone wants me for one reason or another.)
Public Indecency (Jimmy: This one isn't my fault. Her husband threw me into public naked, clearly he is the one to blame here.)
Other: *Smiles*
