Mannerisms:
Culver is approximately 5'8" with brown skin, and wavy black hair worn as a short, neat ponytail, and typically covered by a bandanna and broad-brimmed hat. He shaves his facial hair close every day, a habit he picked up in the army. He wears loose-fitting clothing typical of the southwest when in more "civilized areas", but carries with him a set of thick animal hide armor that he wears in the wild. He also has his old Union uniform that he keeps in good repair, and is working to build in armor plates (converting it to an armored coat, over time, not enough $ at the start). He carries a shortbow and a rifle with him most of the time, with a bayonet attachment in a belt loop on his side. He has axes that he keeps in his bag, as well. Culver is quiet and contemplative by nature, but his experiences in the war taught him how to adapt to travelling, other cultures, and getting along with companions, and so can socialize when the situation warrants. Culver is abstemious and prefers eating food that he's caught himself. He is very deliberate and quiet in his movements and is prone to accidentally sneaking up on people. When asked about his past or people, Culver quietly and respectfully rebuffs the inquiry, saying "the past is in the past." He rarely reacts externally to insults or bad behavior, but mentally notes things that he finds egregious in others' and tries to avoid those people in the future, moving out of the town if necessary. Culver has a set of rituals that he performs that heighten his senses, but they cannot be used by others. Despite his non-confrontational attitude, Culver is deeply against slavery and injustice. This said, he is profoundly conflicted about his role in expansion of the United States, and what the victory of the Union army meant for the wild places of the world. He has escaped west to an area that is yet to be incorporated, hoping to find more acceptance, or at least that people will leave him be. He feels a strong kinship with animals and has a horse which he raised from birth, Jack which he has ridden from his former home in Oklahoma out to the New Mexico territory. Jack is smart and adaptable enough to take care of himself in the wild, and knows to stay close to Culver. Recently in his ranging, he came across a wolf pup that had been abandoned and raised it as well. The wolf is named Yahvev, and it looks enough like a dog that he sometimes brings it into more liberal towns. Jack and Yahvev get along pretty well, for two such disparate species, though they prefer to keep their distance from each other when possible. Culver's Background:
Culver was born in 1845, in Oklahoma Indian territory, and member of the Muscogee Creek Confederacy, He is a traditionalist and followed Opothleyahola. To that end, Culver fought in a number of battles and skirmishes in the West during the war and was recognized for his bravery by the Union. He led a contingent of Creek to skirmishes in the south from the Oklahoma territory and was pivotal in holding back northward military expansions with traps, guile, and cunning. For all of his accolades, he returned home after the war and found that many of his people had been killed by Confederate sympathizing Creek, disease, and neglect by the Federal government, as their reach was not long enough to provide enough support to the loyalists at the various Forts in the territory. Culver resolved to strike out West, partly out of shame and anger, and partly to earn what fortune as he could muster to support his people. He thought he might mine, hunt, trap rare beasts for expensive fur that he could craft. |
