Oldstar

Blind Gunslinger

# Character Information

## Background

Born in the Pueblo Corporate Council in 2054, Victor always lead a fairly rustic life. His parents were ranchers running Oldstar Husbandry, using farmhands and drones out in the Mojave to rear cattle for the nearby slaughterhouse. This kind of upbringing left him quite...disconnected from the world, he knew how to work a commlink to order food for the cattle but that was about it. His father was an Ex-California Ranger, using his funds from kicking Saito out to buy the ranch and raise his boy, this unique experience was passed on to Victor in the form of gunslinging, his father was passionate about it, seeing it more as an art rather than a form of violence. In a desperate attempt to get his father's approval, Victor trained day and night with whatever pistols he could find, mostly surplus things bought for Farmhands to defend themselves.

These skills came in handy when he was a teenager...his Mother hadn't realised a Hellcow was born among their cattle, she'd never seen one before and thought nothing of it. It grew and grew, eventually eating its mother and moving on to devour the rest of the herd in under a day. It attacked Victor's mother, killing her and lunging for the boy. He drew a pistol as fast as he could, putting a bullet through the beast's eye, it died but not before taking Victor's sight in exchange. His Father was devastated, losing his wife and his son's sight in one night...he killed himself a couple days later.

Left alone with a ranch...just a barren patch of land...no cattle...no grass...the Hellcow ate it all...he sold the land for pennies, to whoever would bye it. He moved in with his Aunt who lived in Vegas, she looked after him as best she could as he got used to his new sightless life. Victor couldn't afford to go to school, so he started wandering the streets...looking for anything to do to help out his Aunt. He fell in with the wrong crowds...bounty hunting was popular at the time in Vegas; collecting debts, bounties and wetwork...whatever happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas. He made a name for himself, donning a mask to try throw people off, he didn't want them to know he was blind and to start...pitying him, it was a dreadful thought. He did this for years. hunting some of the biggest bounties in the City, bringing back some big names from the Mafias and Go-Gangs alike...this in equal parts gave him a feared name in Vegas and a Wanted name, the biggest Mafia, the Verontesse, placing a hefty bounty on his head.

This didn't faze his work, he just kept trucking along...a blind gunslinger in the City of Sin. His life changed after meeting Dallas...quite frankly he was supposed to turn Dallas in for a reward...but the old man was charismatic, promising the bounty hunter work in exchange for not turning him in. This is how Oldstar was introduced into the Shadows and, after a few good runs, how he was introduced to the Market.

## Appearance

A younger Native-descended man with red-ish skin and shaggy black hair, his eyes are milky white, the most obvious indicator that he's blind.

### Clothing

He's often found wearing his fancy suits, hat and gasmask, the mask itself used to throw people off his condition. Always wears a three-piece, coat and...rancher boots? It's certainly a look, his gasmask is fashion, stylised to be worn in fancy places with no issue, nice big hat on top.
