Offran Salt is Totally Dead.

[-UnholyWon-]

Background: Offran Salt, he was a bastard's son raised by foster parents in the steadings. Two individuals who nothing of giving the baby any care or love. In his early years he was treated as an after thought, and was left untended till his crying would not cease, then fed alcohol to make him sleep. In his teens, regular beatings for not doing exactly as his parents told him, or getting into an assorted fights with Winespills and other children left him with a face blunted by fists, knees, and boots (CHA 8, but ranks in Intimidate). As he grew, he learned sometimes you didn't have to fight fair, and there were other ways to get even. Catching vipers or picking harmful herbs worked for either weakening his enemies so they could be brought down easier. He became more or less a thug who wanted to be an authority with real power.

He initially tried to join House Moonspear, seeing the House as bringing the Ward back under the rule of proper and respectable humans. Father Ishmael directed him to join the Blackjacks, he felt defeated at first, but leaned into what a Blackjack was in this time. He forged documents calling them the Amended/Revised Laws of the King's Militia, and used those to quickly fill his pockets with groat.  He did really good working as intelligence, and would use his bribes as a way to snitch on people up to no good. He was always still a hot head, and once he felt he had someone around the throat he didn't let go because he was 'right'. This led to his end.

Inspiration: I tried to model the character after Negan from the Walking Dead Comic/Show, but I don't  think I ever made it there. Perhaps it was more Negan before he was able to grab power, and act like a manic. I also wanted to create a legit police force in the Ward, and move the Blackjacks to the frontlines of the battlefields against the Count and Nothing. Sadly, that goal failed. The laws post was just something really fun, and I hope it gives players a reason to play Blackjacks more, and a reason to collect that groat!

DrD, thanks for the fun direction, I had a great time. Big thank you to Empress of Neon, the character interactions were always hilarious all the way up to the end. If I missed anyone, sorry.

Offran Salt was a very short lived character so off to the next one. Cheers!

Sad to see him go :( A+++ interactions between a corrupt guard and the local Ticker Punkette. I hope more Blackjack pcs take to his example of being a lovable a**hole you can tolerate in your life without necessarily being the root of all evil. Very well balanced :)

Can't wait to see your next!
