Let me start off with this. This is not for Pathfinder, but I am looking for advice on the character in question, leaving the location of this threat somewhat questionable. This is for the serenity game, which I'm sure many of you will know is based in the firefly setting.
I'm gonna follow up with this. I hate wild west. Perhaps I've watched they clint eastwood movie with different names too many times, but to me they strike me as more cliche than any other setting.
So I'm trying to play in this and avoid a cliche. So far my character concept is
Chaney "the Jinx" Johnston wrote:
Chaney's always been unlucky. Like super unlucky. He got his name, the Jinx, whenever he was little and he's just never been capable of shaking it off. Perhaps the first time he considered that his luck might be truly terrible was winning his first game of poker... and realizing the man he just beat was the head of a gang of bandits in this territory, renowned for his poor temper.
Regardless of how he got his luck, its perhaps because of it that he's become so good at surviving. He always has his nose to the air, seems to smell when dangers coming. His trigger fingers faster than anyone he meets, and even his friends think its creepy how far off he can just feel danger coming.
Even this is not without a price however. Gotta figure, guy who can smell danger a mile off and is renowned for his poor luck is feeling, not to mention avoiding, danger every minute of every day. His sense for danger is always kicking, and its left him twitchy and paranoid. He talks with a horrible stutter and is convinced of his own terrible demise, which he avidly tries to avoid.
So
1) I'm not sure on the name. Originally it was just going to be jinx, but a girl in the group commented that the name seemed too feminine and I should probably change it. Looking for advice on the new one, or possibly others.
2) Suggestions on background and/or personality.
