**Diamond weed** is a made up posse in Red Dead Online led by Victor Trelawny filled with outcasts and a bunch of silly fellas, they aren't a gang that strikes fear into people but more of an inconvenience to honest folk and lawmen. They are a very Honorable gang and don't kill others just for the hell of it, they all have reasons for doing so usually choosing to rob those who deserve it.

## History

### Background

The beginning of the posse started when Victor Trelawny and Circe Johnson both attempted to rob the same stagecoach and fought each other for it, during their scuffle the stagecoach drove off while they were distracted and none of them were able to rob the stagecoach anymore. During this Circe had pushed Victor into a puddle causing him to get soaking wet in the cold snowy weather. Feeling bad Circe had invited him to her camp so he could warm up and not freeze to death. After spending a few awkward minutes at the camp Victor decided to leave as to not annoy the woman anymore than he had.

The next day Victor robbed a general store in Blackwater having to shoot his way out, Circe was there at this time and joined his shootout and they both escaped. Realizing how well they worked together they decided to stick close. The shootout got them a bounty considering how many lawmen they shot leading a bounty to be placed on them. Very soon they had a bounty hunter on their tracks fortunately for them, the bounty hunter died of a heart attack and the woman who was accompanying the bounty hunter didn't seem to care if they were caught.

Victor and Circe quickly made their way out of the forest and into a new area, setting camp up and getting shit faced drunk off their asses to pass time. There is when they thought of the name Diamond Weed which was spewed out during their drunken rambling which would be the name they stuck with for a long time.

They hid from bounty hunters for a while but soon their luck had run out as a hunter was able to detain Victor and took him to the Rhodes Sheriffs office. V had told Circe to try and find him so as he was in Rhodes Circe was looking around to him. There in Rhodes Victor made an agreement with Sheriff Louis Galloway and was set free, Circe had found him and had someone else along her side from when she was alone, it was a woman named Rose. Victor soon became acquainted with Rose and they all three did different odd jobs and got introduced to Bounty hunting, doing a routine of odd jobs, bounties and robberies when they got desperate.

During their time in Rhodes they came across a boy named Timmy who was doing work with Sheriff Galloway, well not really, it was more of Timmy pestering the Sheriff to let him do deputy work. The sheriff simply ignored him and brushed him off telling Timmy to do bounties with Diamond Weed as a way to make Timmy, Victor's problem and not his. So now Timmy was doing bounty hunting with the Diamond Weed posse, it was close enough to the Sheriff work Timmy wanted to do, Timmy was only there to do bounties bounties because "robbing people was bad" so he would come and go depending on the jobs the posse did.

It was now back to Victor, Circe and Rose, They planned a very decent sized robbery that was complicated but doable if they tried hard enough, unfortunately for them, Rose had left to do a very important once in a life time bounty last minute. So now it was only Victor and his best bud Circe to do this robbery together, it was to steal a bank stagecoach and bring it back to camp. It sounded simple enough and it was! Victor and Circe were able to do it smoothly and all went well as they now have $1,500 to split between the two. Happy with their findings they headed over to the Bastille Saloon to celebrate their first big haul.

### Location

Bastille Saloon, Saint Denis

The Bastille Saloon incident happened when Victor and Circe decided to celebrate a very big robbery, they were a bit out of place in the very fancy looking Saloon with expensive whisky but after a robbery like that they both felt that they should be treated to such fancy alcohol for a night as a reward. They both drank the night away and ignored the annoyed judging glares from all the high society citizens of Saint Denis because at this moment they didn't care as long as they had fun. After a few moments of drinking Circe told Victor she needed to take a break from all the drinking, that wasn't the only reason why she wanted a break, it was mostly due to the fact that she felt paranoid in the saloon. Victor stayed at the bar drinking, telling Circe he would join her when he finished his drink.

    Not wanting to cause a scene in the saloon Circe went to the top of the saloon and on to the balcony to take a breather and to be alone with her thoughts for a moment. After she calmed down she went to go back to the bar where Victor was when she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't recognize the man at first till he started to talk and then she remembered him, it was her Ex-fiance Jean "Fredrick" Astor who Circe was arranged to marry at one point in her life before she ran away from him. She thought she'd never see him again till now. Jean kept saying he still loved her and that they were meant to be, if theirs once thing Circe remembered about him is how manipulative he was, for the first time in a while Circe felt terrified. Jean tried to grab her but she punched him, trying to get away but Jean (the cringe mf he is) dragged her by the hair into a room in the Saloon, Jean barked orders to his guards to stand at the door, the guards being Hiram**, Gene,** and **Remo** Jean had sent two of them to guard the door in the building while the last guy was sent to guard the balcony.

Inside of the room Jean was trying to force Circe to come back with him to get married just like they were arranged to be but Circe didn't love him, she never did but Jean just couldn't see that through his delusions. Jean rambled to Circe saying that she wasn't acting like the way a "proper" woman should be, and that she will get married to him no matter what. Circe kept trying to kick and thrash at him but she was full of fear and didn't know what to do.

Down at the bar Victor had passed out for a few short minutes from over drinking, he had thought Circe returned by now but she was nowhere to be seen. Concerned about his best friends whereabouts he started to ask around if anyone had seen a "short lady who was aggressive and quick to anger" after walking around to the up stairs part of the saloon Victor found Circe's floral pin on he ground near the very suspicious looking men guarding a door. Victor Approached the two men and asked them the same question he had asked around. The two guards looked down at Victor with the most emotionless expression yet surprisingly one of the guards spoke up.

    The guard known as Hiram pointed to the room behind them saying that the woman Victor was looking for was in there, the other guard who was loyal to the O'driscolls started to freak out, whisper shouting "what are you doing???" which started the two guards to bicker for a bit causing Victor to be impatient, telling them if they don't let him in he'll let himself in. Both of the guards turned to face their attention to Victor slowly, the guard Hiram stood in thought for a quick second before knocking the other guard with the back of his rifle, nodding in acknowledgment to Victor before making his way out of the area. Victor, now having access to the room burst in and saw Circe crying in a corner while Jean yelled at her. Victor had never seen Circe cry or this vulnerable and the thought that the fact one person could make Circe feel like this pissed him off. As quick as ever, Victor punched Jean right in the face, breaking the man's nose, He had punched Jean so hard that Jean had stumbled to the ground grabbing his nose in pain. While Jean was down Victor went to Circe's side to try and carry her out of the room which was a terrible idea for as Victor was at Circe's side Jean managed to pull his gun out and point it at Victor's head to stop him from taking Circe away from.

Fortunately for Victor Circe had finally gotten the strength to pull her own gun out and shot Jean in the leg, coming back to her senses she grabbed Victors arm and dragged him out of the room to the room and down the stairs into an alleyway. Jean was absolutely furious, yelling at the other O'driscolls to go after the two which started a shootout to occur. Victor and Circe both ran as far as they could into the alleyways and into the bayous until they deemed it far enough to talk about what just happened, Circe had explained who Jean was and they both made a promise to each other.

### Continuing On

After all that mess in the Bastille Saloon, Victor and Circe decided to slowly shimmy away from Lemoyne because they had drawn too much attention to themselves and with the robbery they did in New Hanover they had to find a different place to lay low, the two went back to Blackwater to loiter around till they find new jobs or robberies. They made sure to send a telegram to Rose so when she came back from her bounty she knew where to find them. During their time in Blackwater they came across the same woman who was with the bounty hunter all those months ago and she seemed to be ecstatic to be in the presence of Circe, she had properly introduced herself to Victor as Licorice Kennedy. For the next few days Victor and Circe had been staying around Blackwater, waiting for when Rose would come back from her bounty in the mountains, with Licorice glad to let them stay in the Blackwater saloon (especially Circe). More days passed and finally, finally Rose had returned from the bounty, not wanting to overstay their welcome from Ms. Kennedy the gang started to head back out to a new town. As they were leaving the Saloon, Licorice ran out with her belongings.

Confused the gang stopped in their tracks to look at her as she held her dress to run towards them, the first one to speak up being Circe, she asked her what she was doing with all those bags, to which Licorice proudly said, "I'm going with!'. Circe did not look too happy, she looked at Victor with a face that had 'is she serious?" written all over it. Victor didn't want to turn Licorice down and well, the more the merrier right? Victor nodded despite the huge glare Circe had given him and they now had another new member of the posse.

There's some more members of Diamond weed but how they became part of the posse when it comes to a clear timeline is kinda wonky so the list goes as follows of all the gang members that joined in order:

* Circe Johnson, a Determined, Honest, Brave, Confident; and a short tempered woman. She's very stubborn and a little hot headed. Violent; when someone gets on her nerves and will lash out violently and brutally.
* Rose, is a very good bounty hunter and fighter. Rose is very smart when it comes to combat and likes risking it all for a chance to fight.

* Licorice Kennedy, a hooker, idk what else to tell you.
* Hiram Slate, a friendly but strong willed person who's loyal to his friends and family, he usually has a positive outlook on things but that doesn't mean he won't hesitate to eliminate someone who wrong's him or his friends, as he's good at using brute force if needed to.

## Events Of Red Dead Online

So far the gang had Victor, Circe, Licorice, and Rose, these four went down to Rhodes doing odd jobs and finding new business opportunities to do, while also helping the locals in the town when word of a train holding a valuable Emerald in Saint Denis started to roll around. Whispers talking about how much it was and how important it was, and though the posse wasn't too big they took their chances to try and take it for themselves. They knew not researching for this heist would kick them in the ass but it was worth trying, and so the posse went to Saint Denis to scout the place out, Victor waiting on the tracks near the stables, while Circe and Rose looked for a way on it, and Licorice walked around trying to get information on where the train was heading. But before anything could be said or done Circe was spotted and the train instantly started to drive away. As the train could start heading out the gang rode on their horses as fast as they could and tried to catch up and somehow hop on the train while they were being shot at by lawmen, the train moved fast, going from Saint Denis to the Heartlands. The gang soon was able to get on the train up near Rhodes but had to search the train thoroughly for the emerald while the train was still moving fast, soon they found the emerald and now had to loose the law and get away from everything and not get caught.

This all started a big chase, Circe had the emerald, there were lawmen chasing and shooting them from all sides that the gang had no choice but to split up and go different directions to lose the law. Everything was going so fast that they couldn't get an actual proper plan in other than hope for the best and find a way to communicate and find each other later on after it was all over and cooled down. Rose headed towards the mountains, while Victor headed to West Elizabeth and Circe headed back to the Lemoyne area to throw the law off their tail. Now making the gang separated once again.

### Victor

Victor went off to West Elizabeth and hid in the trees, watching as the lawmen rode pass him, he waited for a few moments before catching his breath and praying for his friends safety. Now Victor was back to where it all began, Strawberry. He stayed put in Strawberry for quite a while, not moving from his spot and had a small camp near the town, three days later Victor deemed it safe to start heading towards Valentine, his plan being that he would slowly make his way to Lemoyne and find the others, he just hopped his gang had the same idea he did.

While in Valentine, Victor made sure to keep caution where he walked and kept contact with the locals to a minimum as to not draw much attention to him. With Circe having the Emerald they did the heist for Victor was just hoping she would still have it when they regrouped. Victor did a few odd jobs to pass the time and got introduced to Collecting things and reselling them to a woman named Madam Nazar, which Victor would start doing because it didn't catch much attention to him and he would be making some sort of money. Days passed of him doing his routine of odd jobs that he got enough money to buy himself something, to treat himself for his hard work so he decided to get himself a new gun for once.

At the gunsmith, Victor looked around at all the guns in amazement, he didn't know much about gun or how they worked in great detail but he only knew how to shoot and nothing more, so choosing a gun that would be worth spending money on was hard for him. There were so many choices and Victor was asking the gunsmith question after question of what guns were good or not but he still couldn't choose.

That's when a man who was also in the gunsmith looking at ammo joined into the conversation with Victor, pointing at a Navy revolver and recommended it to him. Victor gladly took the suggestion, buying the Navy before offering the man to buy something for him for the help, when Victor turned to face the man he recognized the man as one of the guards from the Bastille Saloon. Victor thanked the man for the help during all that mess and Victor went on to ask him question after question due to his curiosity.

They got a bit acquainted with each other and decided to work together, Victor told Hiram about his situation of being separated from his gang and the two went down to try and find the rest of Diamond Weed in New Hanover. The two did bounties, roaming around going to places they thought the others would be at.

### Circe

With Victor being in the West Elizabeth area Circe was in Lemoyne heading over to Rhodes hoping at least one other Diamond Weed member would be there. But to her dismay she was by herself with no one else she recognized in sight. In Frustration she went to the Rhodes Parlor house to drink herself blind from all the stress of the heist, grabbing her whiskey and moping around. She was very tired from everything and this seemed like a good break for her mind and well-being.

Drinking for a while she felt the feeling of someone looking at her and when she looked up she saw a Mexican man smoking a cigarette who winked at her, she rolled her eyes and ignored him as best as he could, she already thought he was obnoxious as hell. So when the man came over to her table to flirt with her she flipped the man off and began to walk out of the parlor house so she wouldn't have to deal with the man flirting with her. But it seemed that the man didn't take the hint because he simply followed her out and kept talking to her, not shutting up for it seemed the man liked the sound of his own voice.

As for Circe, she had enough of his BS and slapped him right across the face.

He finally got the hint but not quite, he stopped the flirting but continued talking to her in a smug way that Circe hated. She was getting ready to get on her horse to ride away when the mans tone got a bit professional and he asked her if she wanted work in helping him with his moonshine business, Circe knew that people paid a pretty penny for the stuff so she said yes, the man then introduced himself as Javi Escuella and now she was helping the man deliver moonshine so that she could at least get some money while trying to find the others.

Doing business with Javi made Circe a bit of money that was good enough in her book, she would watch Javi make the moonshine, deliver moonshine and do things to stop the revenue agents. Circe still wasn't a fan of working with Javi considering his very flirtatious behavior but it was just his personality so she couldn't really fault him for it. They slowly started to get more acquainted with each other and she started to not really care as long as he kept his distance which he did for he didn't wanna get slapped across the face by this fiery woman again.

### Together Again

By the time the gang found each other again it had been about half a month, Victor still with Hiram and Circe was alone but doing business with Javi and soon after the rest of the gang found their way back as well and they now had a new member, that being Mr. Hiram slate. Now back together the gang stayed in the Lemoyne area and slowly moved down to the Bayous, where the gang did some bounties and found more ways to get money like working at the post office and talking to the local folk in the area. While the gang was on their way to do an infamous bounty they saw a woman standing at the bounty board by herself, she was looking at a bounty that would need a whole group of people to do in order to carry it out well, and looking at her all she had was herself and her horse. Feeling helpful, Victor approached the woman and tapped her shoulder offering if she wanted to join them in doing a bounty but she simply just stared at him.
