Hi again, Institute! Erry/Shindou-mun here with a second character coming in as of this cycle, Deadwood's Al Swearengen.
Canonically, Al is a saloon-keeper in the Dakota Territory back in 1870's, so he's making kind of a big jump in this AU! I'm just going to link his CR meme for the sake of giving a short version, but basically he's the scheming, ruthless sort with a criminal history a mile long but also a surprising capacity for decency and foresight. He's gone like 99% legit by this point, but that won't stop him from being crass or bloody-minded.
Al's going to be teaching armed combat as a faculty member at the school, with an emphasis on training non-powered skills. That's convenient, because his mutant power happens to be leeching other superhumans' abilities and temporarily taking them as his own!
Also, just an advanced disclaimer that Al's language tends to be wildly profane. Repeated F-bombs are pretty much the baseline for him. He'll probably try to tone it down when he's in official capacity as a teacher, just for the sake of not getting chewed out constantly, but if anything he says is ever too horrible or whatever, feel free to ping me about it! I don't want his being an awful human being IC to make anyone uncomfortable OOC, so there's that.
As for me, I'm still around on Plurk at
cupiditas, so feel free to add me on there or to get in touch via PM!
