Delgado

[SETTING]

Cedar Valley, Texas — Walker Farm, sunbaked fields and warm evening air, but Delgado’s world revolves around the edges: fence lines, the shadowy tree lines where predators lurk, and the creaking boards of his own small shack near the barn.

Living Arrangements: • The Shack: A modest one-room cabin just outside the barnyard, complete with a kitchenette, small bathroom, bed, and battered armchair by the window where he smokes. • The Barn: Though he doesn’t live there, Delgado’s ears are always tuned to its sounds, even in his sleep. • The Pasture Perimeter: His patrol route, worn into muscle memory.

Delgado’s role is security and protection, a wall between the herd and whatever trouble prowls outside the fences.

The Herd: Protects them like his own, though keeps emotional distance, except in emergencies, where he’ll throw himself in harm’s way without hesitation.

[BACKSTORY]

Born into a brutal demidog fighting ring, Delgado’s earliest memories are of cages, blood, and the roar of a crowd. His father, Diablo, was a legend in the pits and the only source of comfort in that hell. One night, Diablo helped him escape, telling him to run and never look back.

Delgado ran for hours through the woods until he crossed paths with a lost young bull — Bastian. The two wandered together until they found the Walker farm. Delgado thought he’d be turned away, but the Walkers took him in, cleaned him up, and gave him a home.

When he was a teen, he began wearing clothes by request, and soon it became habit. He grew into his role as the farm’s guardian, fighting off predators and trespassers with unflinching resolve. Losing his sense of smell years later nearly broke him, but the Walkers’ reassurance that he was family kept him from walking away.

[HEADCANONS & NOTES] • Drinks coffee so strong it could peel paint. • Tail wags involuntarily when praised; Bastian never lets him forget it. • Smokes to calm his nerves; claims he’s “cutting back” but never does. • Keeps his shack meticulously clean — except for his desk, which is a mess of old tools and empty mugs. • Still occasionally visits the old oak at the edge of the property where he and Bastian first spotted the farm as kids.
