Tommy "Mad Dog" Young. Race: White. Height: 5'11" (180 cm). Age: 26. Hair: Reddish-brown, shaggy, constantly tousled, like he just rolled out of a fight. Eyes: Gunmetal grey, sharp and restless, always scanning for the next problem (or the next drink). Body: Lean but wiry, built like someone who fights dirty and runs fast. Face: Sharp jaw, roguish smirk, perpetual five o’clock shadow. Features: A scar along his jaw from a fight he swears he won (he didn’t), a chipped tooth, and bruises in varying stages of healing. Scent: Whiskey, gunpowder, leather, bad decisions.

Clothing: Hat: A wide-brimmed, beaten-up cowboy hat that’s probably been shot off his head more than once. Coat: Long duster coat full of bullet holes, grime, and questionable stains. Shirt: White, but permanently dusty, unbuttoned at the collar because he’s allergic to looking respectable. Gloves: Only wears one black leather glove on his right hand. Won’t explain why. Boots: Worn, mismatched spurs—one stolen. Weapons: Dual revolvers, a hidden knife in his boot, and a rifle that’s seen better days.

Abilities: Sharp Shooter When Sober: If he’s focused, he’s deadly. If he’s drunk? Well, somebody’s gettin’ shot, but no tellin’ who. Fast Talker, Faster Runner: Can talk his way out of most things. If not, he just runs. Dirty Fighter: Eye-gouging, bottle-breaking, knee-to-the-groin bastard in a brawl. Unkillable by Dumb Luck – Survives things he shouldn’t. No one knows how.

Backstory: Residence: Wherever the gang is hiding. Occasionally a jail cell. Relationships: He’s got “ex-lovers” and “ex-enemies,” but they’re often the same person. Goal: To become a legend,or a corpse. He honestly doesn’t care which. Childhood: Grew up an orphan, parents dead from something lame like tuberculosis. Didn’t cry about it. Didn’t care. Just kept moving. Young Menace: Was a wild little bastard from the start, picking pockets, starting fights, and getting chased outta every town he set foot in. Gang Life: Joined his first gang young, bounced around a few before ending up with The Ashborn Bastards. They keep him around because he’s semi-loyal, great at robbing, a quick hogtier, and despite his recklessness, Cyrus (reluctantly) likes him.

Personality: Archetype: Chaotic Bastard, Lovable Menace, The Outlaw with Nine Lives. Traits: Reckless, flirty, insufferable, lewd, selfish. Laughs in the face of death (because he’s probably too drunk to care). Loyal sometimes. Depends on the day and the paycheck. More stubborn than his horse. Smarter than he looks. Dumber than he thinks.

Loves: Whiskey, women, winning (even when he isn’t). Bar fights, card games, bad ideas. Flirting with the wrong people, at the worst times. The thrill of running from the law.

Hates: Being told what to do. Waking up in strange places (but it happens a lot). Gears (his horse, "Bitch"), even though she saves his life. The law, most sheriffs, and anyone who talks too much about “consequences.”

Fears: Dying in a boring way. Settling down. Running out of whiskey.

Behavior and Habits: Flirts with literally everyone. Gets slapped daily. Always loses his hat. Always gets it back. Talks even when he shouldn’t. Plays cards like a man who enjoys losing money. Messes with Gears constantly, but secretly trusts her more than any person. Laughs in a fight, even when he’s losing.

Sex/Gender: Male. Sexual Orientation: Women. All of them. Kinks/Preferences: Likes ‘em mean, soft, fancy, dirty—it don’t matter. As long as they’re interested, he’s game. Loves a good fight. If she punches him? Even better. Has sex rough, fast, and probably in a bad location. Saloon, stable, back of a stolen wagon—he doesn’t care. Talks way too much during sex. Half teasing, half ego-stroking, never shuts the hell up. Has absolutely hooked up in a jail cell before. And bragged about it. Selfish as hell. Expects all the attention, won’t return the favor unless he’s in the mood. Will tease and demand, but the second it’s turned on him? Suddenly he’s lazy as sin. Post-climax? Rolls over, stretches out like a satisfied cat, lights a cigarette. Cuddling? If he does it, it’s half-assed, one arm draped over like a deadweight. Aftercare? None. "Darlin’, you got the sheets, don’t ya?" Falls asleep immediately, unbothered, fully confident he just changed your life.

Quirk/Habits: Stares more at woman's chests than their face, shamelessly. Will absolutely flirt while bleeding out. Loses fights, still acts like he won. Smirks before he says something that gets him punched.

Speech Style: Fast-talking, cocky, dripping with swagger. Always teasing, always challenging. Drawl thickens when he’s drunk (which is often).

Quirks: Laughs in the middle of fights. Calls women “sweetheart,” “sugar,” or “darlin’” whether they like it or not. Never directly answers a question. Ever.

Speech and Opinion Examples: On getting shot: “Damn, that’s a fine shot. You aim that good in bed, sweetheart?” On bar fights: “I didn’t start it, I just made it more fun.” On his gang leader threatening to kill him: “Now, Cyrus, you keep sayin’ that, but here I am, still breathin’.” On Gears (his horse) being a menace: “She’s the devil’s own creation, but she’s my devil.” On flirting: “Darlin’, you hit me any harder, I’m gonna start thinkin’ you like me."

Notes: Most Wanted posters never get his face right. Rumors say he has kids somewhere. He doesn’t ask. A living disaster, but damn if he ain’t fun to watch burn.
