Characters
Styx a.k.a. The Saskatoon Slayer
Originatin’ from the Dominion of Canada, Styx, a man of many cultures, made his way south, during the American Frontier, after an assassination gone wrong. Styx has created a name for himself as a gun-for-hire, so he’s notorious for murderin’ folks. He’s also a drug user; without that plant, he’s always smokin’, the essential motor functions required for everyday life become tedious as hell. If captured, do not allow this man to smoke the devil’s lettuce as we are led to believe that this is what gains him his ace shootin’. This man has a tough time sayin’ no, which is why his lunatic friend keeps gettin’ him into all kinds of trouble. He claims he don’t want to be known as a killer no more and that he wants to lay down his guns and live a peaceful life, but his actions tell us otherwise, as he can be found the very next day, up to his same ol’ antics.
He may be found with the infamous Lenny the Lifter and freak of nature, Atticus Bigfoot.
Lenny a.k.a. Lenny The Lifter
Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Lenny has conned his way across the Old West, burnin’ every bridge he’s ever come upon. His quick wit and cunning have made him a dangerous man, double crossin’ every two-bit hustler he’s ever met. This man has had so many identities he’s like a walkin’, talkin’ identity crisis. He’s even forgotten his own last name, for christ’s sake, which is why his appetite for the next big score and makin’ a name for himself as the #1 con-man is insatiable. He must be stopped! Lenny ain’t much of a shot, but you'll surely want to shoot yourself after 10 minutes alone with him.
He may be found with a notorious Canadian assassin known as Styx and freak of nature, Atticus Bigfoot.
Atticus a.k.a. Bigfoot
It may be hard to believe, but this ain't no bearded man; it's a freak of nature who's mastered the art of disguise. His name is Atticus, and he's the semi-mystical creature known as Bigfoot. Born in a majestical forest, Atticus understands more about horticultural life than your average Homosapien. Beware, he has a magical green thumb that allows him to bring plant life back from the dead. He can even make 'em grow twice their size in seconds! The beast don’t understand the meaning of discreet, so he ain’t hard to spot; I mean, he is eight feet tall, after all. He proclaims his only desire is to be accepted and walk among us humans in peace, but us good ol’ God-fearin' folk ain't no fools. This man ain'tnothing more than a deadly creation from the devil himself. May God have mercy on our souls.
He may be found with the Notorious Canadian Assassin, Styx, and the infamous Lenny the Lifter.
