Gender / Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 32
Appearance / Picture (Please remember this is not exact, things may change but this is the overall look of him):
(Credits: https://pin.it/4zYVID1bl)
Height / Build: He is around 6'1-6'2, pretty average of a height. He is more on the toned side around his torso, but most of his strength is in his legs and core. Considering he's been riding for so many years of his life, those are just the muscles most developed. Not to say that his arms aren't muscular, but the point stands.
Eye Color: He has deep hazel eyes, specks of green littered around the iris. They hold a weight to them. He's lived through a lot. Seen a lot too. They are tired yet sharp and precise.
Hair Color / Style: He has dark brown hair thats short but not short enough to tuck into a hat. It trails down his neck a bit. He has slight bangs that fall onto his forehead. Its wavy and pretty unruly. He also has a light beard.
Skin Tone / Distinguishing Marks: Tan from being in the sun so often. Freckles cover his arms and shoulders, he also has them on his legs and down his back. But theres less of them lower on his body. He has a birthmark on his lower back too, its sort of crescent shaped.
Ethnicity / Background: He is American, white(?) with English descent. Trying to avoid describing too much of his background so it makes the roleplay more interesting.
Voice / Accent: He has that typical southern accent then, but he grammar is surprisingly good for someone like him. His mother was determined to teach him proper grammar.
Dominant Hand: Right-handed, but he is semi-ambidextrous. He can use both hands but he prefers his right.
Notable Scars, Tattoos, or Injuries: No tattoos, but he has a notable burn mark between his shoulder blades. It's fairly large and has mostly healed, but left a scar. His left knee has some issues and will sometimes roll or give out, but he has adapted to it and has gotten much better at staying upright despite the issue. He has many scars, most from his long past. He has two gunshot wound scars, one in his left thigh and the other in his right side. (It pretty much just grazed him.) He also has a few knife scars coating his skin, some scrapes too, but none other that are notable enough.
PERSONALITY
Core Personality Traits (3-5):
Riley comes across as cold and aloof, keeping his distance from strangers and anyone he isn’t close to. He has little patience—or empathy—for the suffering of others, often seeming indifferent to what doesn’t directly affect him. Generally laid-back, Riley isn’t particularly stubborn and prefers to go with the flow, letting life carry him wherever it pleases. The exception lies in his morals—those are non-negotiable, and he’ll stand his ground firmly when they’re challenged.
His sense of humor is dry and dark, often laced with deadpan sarcasm that sounds more like a quiet "why me, life?" than anything cutting. While he can be polite, it’s never out of obligation. Riley believes respect is something earned, not freely given—he treats others according to what he thinks they deserve.
Resilient, loyal, perceptive, calm, stubborn, level-headed, steady,
(WILL PROBABLY ADD MORE THIS TO LATER)
Strengths: Riding, swimming, fishing, hunting, shooting, knife-throwing, robbing, looting, good with animals,
Flaws / Weaknesses: His past, his left knee, fire/hot things, losing things/people he cares for, his temper, his neutral attitude, his morals, Belleza(he gives her anything she wants).
Quirks / Habits: (WIP!!)
Fears / Phobias: Snakes and deep water are two things that terrify him. He can handle a lot of other things. He's also probably very scared of figuring out Oscar is dead or having Belleza die.
Beliefs / Values: (WIP!!)
Vices (drinking, gambling, etc.): (WIP!!)
Moral Code / Grey Areas:
His morals are somwtimes very blurred to others. As they may not make sense. He won't kill woman unless in self-defense. He *will not* kill children. Even if they attack him. Overall he tries not to just kill without reason.
Attitude Toward Violence:
Overall pretty numb to it. He's killed so many and watched others die. He doesn't feel much toward it anymore. Its a neutral ground for him. Blood and gore is nothing new. Sometimes he finds he needs it even.
How They Handle Stress:
He tends to try and drink his stress away, but sometimes he'll take Bella out and go on a long ride. Sometimes he'll go hunting. It tends to depend, but he needs to do something to distract him from his stress and calm him down.
Soft Spots / Hidden Sensitivities:
Belleza always has a soft spot in his horse. Morrow, a gelding he owned a while back holds a soft spot. Oscar and his family too. His old friends hold soft spots too, despite everything that happened.
He is sensitive towards his family, his past, and his drinking problem mainly. Though there are smaller things that are sensitive topics.
RELATIONSHIPS
Closest Companion / Partner (could be the other cowboy):
Romantic, he's had a few girls over the years. But none that ever stook.
Platonic, he knew a kid named Oscar once. They traveled together for a while before Oscar left to go find his father, causing them to split ways.
Family (living/dead/estranged?):
Winnifer Jordan–Mom–Deceased: He had a great relationship with her before she died. She took care of him and his brother, always making sure he was alright. She was an amazing wife too. She also called him "Her little Pepper" or "Spicy Pepper" because he loved the peppers they grew.
Gustis Jordan–Dad–Deceased: They had a pretty good relationship. He taught Riley to swim, farm, and all sorts of other things. He owes quite a few of his survival skills to him.
Fennic Jordan–Brother-Unknown: They were brothers, so they were very close. Fennec was older by a year. Riley and Fennic got along, had the occasional sibling fight. They were heavy on competition though. They competed in everything.
Oscar/Friend–Unknown: His good friend. At the start things were rocky, but he and Oscar became friends eventually. Oscar was a very optimistic guy, despite everything. And he was a good guy to be around. Practically a sunshine incarnate.
Enemies / Rivals:
That is one thing he does not lack. Enemies. Due to his past, he has plenty of enemies. Gangs, lawmen, private business owners. The whole shabang. He pissed off a many a people. And most still would love his head hung on their wall.
Romantic History / Orientation:
He is single currently.
He has had a few girls in the past, but they were mostly flicks and barely lasted a month.
In today's words/modern world, Riley would probably be under the label 'queer'.
Reputation Among Strangers:
Typically nowadays, he's seen as the average cowboy. A horse, a gun, and nothing to lose. He doesnt mind the stereotype as much as he might have in the past. He tends to like being able to hide under what people see on the surface.
Reputation Among Friends:
He doesnt have many friends and the ones he does have are all dead or split up around the country. They would probably see him as cold, serious, and stubborn if they were there.
