Boothill | Weird West

“Boothill” grew up in the dusty frontier town of Aeragan-Epharshel under the love and protection of his parents Graey and Nick, who found him lost or abandoned in the snow as a small child. Graey took him to learn about plants, animals, and rivers, Nick taught him how to tame horses and farm sheep. At a young age, he rode his colt across streams and followed Nick as they led their cattle to fields rich in water and greenery under the morning sun. Since becoming a cowboy, “Boothill” mastered every skill there was to hunting—he charged through the sandy wastelands fighting bandits, making deals with merchants, and battling for places to survive with the beasts of the wilderness. He had narrowly escaped death, tasted the flavor of taking revenge on a rival gang, seen friends lose their lives in the flight of a bullet, seen families fall apart in mere moments... He lost many, yet gained a lot as well. In the end, his courage earned him status and respect. One silent night, the sound of cries resounded loud and clear through the stillness of evening. Following the sound, he discovered a little girl. He had no idea what to do, but he eventually picked her up as Graey had done so long before, and brought her home—he called her Junior. She was only 3 years old when Aeragan-Epharshel was emptied out by the Interim Syndicate, bloodied bodies littering the streets as strange, glowing machines dug deep into the earth for gold, or oil, whatever else they wanted to steal.
