Name: Roland McCall
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Role: Reverend (also gunman and speaker) ((also kind of assuming there is still religion if not let me know)
Skills: Speech, haggling, co-ercing information, and shooting
Backstory: Living on Olestria, a planet of large plains and rocky mountains that ended up a spiritual reserve and a tourist trap modeled after times long before. Roland grew up the son of a pastor and a merchant and with a blind right eye. During the week he aided his mother in her shop and spent many an hour listening to her haggle as a youth, and then later on doing the haggling himself as a young adult. On the weekends he worked with his father to aid the flock of the church and to tend to the affairs of the church. He learned to be both a great orator from his father who gave a rousing sermon every sunday and how to obtain information from unwilling lips without the need for violence as he aided his father in church affairs.

At the age of twenty eight he was out with one of the flock of the church when a dispute between two of the local families began. The first shot tore his left ear from his head before landing squarely in the skull of it's unfortunate victim, the matriarch of McDougan family. Roland took the revolver from his shocked friend and unloaded the cylinder at the man who dared not only to shoot at innocents, but to do so in front of the son of the Preacher. His sloppy shooting got the job done as the man fell backwards with two bullet wounds. Upon arriving home he learned that his father had found out what he had done, and many a month was spent attempting to reconcile.

However in those many months he had also taken to practicing with the McDougan's in the use of fire arms and how to utilize them effectively. They did reconcile and Roland was welcomed back into his role as his father's helper. However this would not last.

The family of the man he had killed remembered what he had done, and one night Roland came home late to find his family dead in their home. Taking up his grand father's armor and weapons he went after them, not as himself but as the Angel of Death, the hand with which his god would strike down those who would kill one his servants in cold blood. One by one the members of the family turned up dead, each with a mark burned into their foreheads of the Angel of Death. However as the last of the men lay dying he told Roland that they did not kill his father, and as the man lay there dying Roland knew what he had done and knew that he had committed a most grievous sin.

Seeking redemption he joined the ship in hopes that they would not only do some good, but perhaps he may find a new flock that would at least need someone to lean on, someone to confide in in their darkest hours. At the very least offer comfort to those whom may need it.


Equipment: An old and slightly rusted revolver that had rather beautiful engravings that are marred by the rust and wear of the weapon. He also carries a double barrel shotgun that while of a rather plain appearance packs a mighty punch. On top of that he also carries a set of special made knives in the unfortunate case of a close quarters battle. He also wears a metal chest and back plate with thigh plates that are both concealed by the duster he wears, however anyone who has seen the chest plate would recognize the markings on it.
Other stuff: An old worn leather bible that shows many long years of use. A synthetic replacement for his missing ear. Cybernetics in his left eye that restore sight in what had once been his blind eye though it failed to return color to it. A broken laser revolver that appears to be designed with similar engravings to his functioning pistol, though with some engraved words too covered in rust and wear to read.

Stats:

(I would strongly suggest you read the post on mechanics before assigning this stuff. Good RP = reward, but I do plan on paying attention to your charsheet. Unless I get sick of that, anyway. I'm not gonna bother with perks and shit right now because I'm too new to this and might have trouble tracking that sort of thing.

The stats below apply to a broad range of stuff, not just the examples given - they are a combination of stats and skills in some ways. Pretty sure ya'll can figure that out.)

Melee Skill: 30 (How good you can swing a sword or a chair)
Ballistic Skill: 40 (How good you can shoot, or throw things)
Strength: 30(How strong you are.)
Toughness: 35 (How well you ignore pain, poison, etc. etc. Also slightly affects hitpoints, though I will intentionally not touch on how damage works too much unless you guys insist.)
Agility: 30 (How quick you are, as well as how good your reflexes are)
Intelligence: 35 (How smart you are, how much random trivia you know, reasoning skills, etc. etc.)
Perception: 35 (How well you perceive things around you, like dildos that have been left out, blips on sensors, ambushes)
Willpower: 40 (How well you resist mind altering effects)
Charm : 50 (How well you get along with other people)




hope the sheet is good but if not let me know what I need to change.
