So I was playing around with a character concept and I am having trouble coming up with Aspects for him. Any suggestions are welcome.
TEMPLATE: Unique
HIGH CONCEPT: CURSED IMMORTAL BOUNTYHUNTER
TROUBLE: MAN OUT OF TIME
BACKGROUND
ASPECT: ORNERY AS A POLECAT
Compel: To make him lose his temper or act in a contrary or uncouth manner.
Invoke: When anger or sheer stubbornness could lend him strength to carry on or overcome the odds.
The Civil War ripped Missouri society apart and shaped the life of Virgil Cole Langtry. After a series of campaigns and battles between conventional armies in 1861, guerrilla warfare gripped the state, waged between secessionist "bushwhackers" and the Union. A bitter conflict ensued, bringing an escalating cycle of atrocities by both sides. At the age of 16 Cole fought long and hard against the Union after soldiers destroyed his family’s farm killing his mother and youngest brother in the process. His rage at the deaths of his family boiled beneath the surface making him capable of violence with very little provocation. After the war the price on his head forced Cole to flee to the Frontier. He wandered the West for years working as a cowboy as well as a Deputy Sheriff in a couple of towns. His difficult personality got him in quite a lot of trouble and many fights so he rarely kept his badge long. He welcomed the violence.
RISING CONFLICT
ASPECT: GUNSLINGER MENTALITY
Compel: Hard to back down from a confrontation.
Invoke: For Intimidation or in a gunfight.
After being driven out of Deadwood Cole got work as a scout for the US Army. He helped track down Indians and was involved in a variety of atrocities against the Sioux. In the Winter of 1876 after the Battle of Little Bighorn Langtry led a platoon of soldiers against a Lakota village. The soldiers descended on the village and began their grim work with delight. It was only after most of the village was destroyed that the Skinchanger attacked. Despite all of his ability and the best weapons the US Army could provide Langtry's men were slaughtered in a cat and mouse campaign that lasted for several days. He was finally forced to retreat to a cave in the hills after watching the last of his men dragged off to be attended to by the Naagloshii's terrible hunger. The Shaman in the cave was ancient and, after a Soul Gaze that shook him to his core, explained to Cole that they had to work together to survive against the Evil that had been awakened by miners of the Black Hills. They fought side by side and between the two of them they managed to drive off the Skinchanger at the cost of the Shaman's life. Before he died he placed his Death Curse on Cole. He was to walk the Land and protect it until he atoned for his crimes against the People. The Soul Gaze had a profound effect on Cole and he embraced his new role and began hunting monsters both Human and Supernatural.
