Jannice Roro (The Gunslinger)

"It's never exactly the same."

## Jannice Roro

Jannice Roro is the third ally and party member you get in The Road. Her specialty is guns, and almost every fighting move she does uses ammo. Jannice is commonly known by her screen name (The Gunslinger). She is a kind and humble woman, the only way any of the other members of Mahkhal's group learn about her skills is when she uses them. Jannice originally was a high ranked member of "The Gunslingers" who were notorious for being very hard and strict on they're members. Jannice ended up not being able to finish a task given to her on time, and was in fear of being killed by her boss Asule Azuki. Jannice Roro dies to Mahkhal Caspien in 2089 at the end of the game.

## History

### Local58

It is unclear if Jannice Roro will be referenced in Local58.

### The Road

Before the events of the road, it is known that Janice was born to two unnamed parents. At an early age, she was in a band, where she played the bass clarinet, however, due to the stress of her parents wanting her to get a job, and kicking her out of the house, she had to quit band, which was her favorite thing at the time. The only job Janice was able to get herself by the skin of her teeth, was a job at Burger Palace, the same area that Makhhal and his party members visit in area 10, that people have turned into a religion. She was barely able to get this job, as she was only a freshman in highshcool. She couldn't really get her own home, so she had to move in with her uncle, who was a firearm fanatic. Her unnamed uncle also had a hand in creating the Gat, the new improved version of a gun.

Jannice spent her late teens learning about guns, and how to use them, before the collapse of the government in 2070. Her uncle was killed, and she had to escape her hometown, and at only 16 years old, she became one of the first members of a gang called The Gunslingers, led by Azule Asuki..

From 2071 to 2089, she ran with the Gunslingers while they were in their prime, before they were easily edged out in fearsomeness and strength by other gangs. After a while, Azule became angry, and obsessive with the members he did have, and the the rules of his collapsing gang. Mahkhal and Dylan had to save Jannice from getting killed by Azule, in 2089.

## Personality

Janice is a truthful person. She always says things how they are, not caring how it sounds. If there is a truth that needs to be told, she is the one saying it. Rather than expressing opinion, optimism or pessimism on anything, she defaults to saying the outright truth, and refusing to comment if something is a matter of opinion. Janice has a tough appearance, and like her personality, doesn't really care about expressing herself through clothing, and will where whatever she has to to survive. Where other members of the team are too scared to say something, or accept something, she is always the one to easily accept situations and move on, in contrast to Mahkhal, who's previous memories haunt him enough for him to hold himself at fault.

Despite her not showing it that much, she truly does care about her friends, but doesn't feel the need to show it because she feels like they already know, and she is secure on that. She helps Mahkhal to reach his goal at first in exchange for saving her life, but toward the end she does it purely out of care for the group and him.

Jannice doesn't change much throughout the game, except for her attitude toward Mahkhal and his group, where she is at first staying with them beause she feels like she's obligated to, which then turns into actual care for the group. Jannice always has a slight smile on her face, mainly to put the rest of the group at ease, and to make them feel like even if the truth is not ideal, that they can get through it.

Her early life had shown her that being pessimistic or optimistic about anything will leave you with unrealistic results anyway, so she tries to stay in the middle. Even at the end of the game, she uses her last words to Mahkhal, not to express care for him, but to let him know what is realistically going to happen if he goes through with his plan. Despite her love for Mahkhal as a friend, she forces herself to help him as much as she can instead of saying goodbye.

## Tips

Jannice is insanely strong at a distance, she could kill anyone, even warlords, if she finds herself really far away. She is not as strong in close range though, while she can do damage, she lacks health and defense, and though not physically weak, she is not nearly as physically strong as Mahkhal or Dylan, or even Craig. Jannice is fairly weak for a while when she first enters the party, but later on becomes very strong and gets the most consistently damaging move of probably the entire party. She also gains the ability to paralyze, do an aiming attack, perform a physical head slide attack that does double damage, and has a strong, single target attack, that she can perform more consistently than K.O. or even Big Slash. Jannice is mostly reliant on ammo though, so in order for her to be as strong as she is, she has to have some spare mags, or ammo boxes at her disposal. Jannice is well partnered with a support characters such as Craig, because she has no self-healing abilities, she she is so consistently damaging, that using her turn on an item would be a waste in most situations.
