Narrative Hook: [dice]7[/dice] The Black Market: Your character has some history with the nigh-omnipresent Black Market in operation in almost every oasis of civilization in North America. There are risks and rewards that come with such inroads, and you and the GM need to work out the intricacies involved in that relationship. Did they ask him to
join the Legion, or did he join to avoid their retribution? Perhaps he’s just a very convenient link between the two organizations.

Hindrances

• The Code (Major):
  • Never draw your weapon unless you're prepared to use it!
  • Never cheat in a showdown, or expect to live like a snake.
  • Never kill or deliberately harm women and children.
  • Never kill clergy, 'cept in self-defense.
  • Never kill, injure or steal another man's horse or vehicle, unless he's dead and ain't needin' it no more.
  • Never take another man's woman.
  • Never destroy a church or holy place, unless it is a place of evil - and then beware the wrath of gods and demons.
  • Never take more money than what's owed to you.
  • Never spit in the face of the law. Show respect until it's proven that the law in that town ain't genuine.
  • Show womenfolk respect; remove your hat and avoid cursing.
  • Respect the land and power of nature.
  • Respect (and fear) magic.
  • Respect and honor a worthy opponent.
  • Treat others like you'd like to be treated. Show cowboys and travelers kindness and hospitality unless they ain't worthy of kindness or mercy.
  • If you cheat at cards or break the law, expect to pay the consequences. Just because you don't get caught or punished one time, don't make it right.
  • Keep your sworn word of honor "because sometimes all a man's got is his honor." A man's word is his contractual bond.
  • Kill only in self-defense and in justice. "Hellspawn demons" deserve no such considerations.
• Stubborn (Minor): The Rangers bring law, order, and justice to a lawless land. "We always get our man, come hell or high water."
• Cautious (Minor): Evil takes on many forms and has innumerable faces. The Rangers must be sure of the justice they bring to the lawless wilderness. "You can run from Justice, but I will find you."
• Supreme Confidence (Racial Ability): Quick-Flex are already better than everyone else from birth. Red's training and experiences have only tested and honed his razor's edge. "No challenge is impossible, not for those willing to do whatever it takes to succeed."
• Vengeful (Flavor): The Rangers act as Lawman, Manhunter, Judge, Jury, and Executioner. "The innocent have nothing to fear; the guilty, everything."
• Short Attention Span: Red is always focused on the most recent point of interest, leaving him slightly distracted at all times. (-1 to all Smarts rolls). (Racial Ability)
