Character Name: Al Swearengen
Character Journal: blackdarjeeling
Canon: Deadwood

Brief Personality: Al is crass, scheming, self-interested above all, and borderline amoral. He fancies himself the kind of guy who will cut any throat that needs cutting if it gets him ahead, mostly because he is that exact kind of guy. But he also sees the long game well, which leads him to preferring to make things work smooth and peaceful when that suits his purposes better, and he has something of a mentoring side, especially as far as more "misfit" types are concerned.

He also swears like an old-timey prospector updated to modern times, so beware.

Brief AU History: Al's old. In his life, he's been made an orphan, wandered much of the western U.S. living a life of super-powered crime, then moved into NYC and started the first openly mutant-oriented bar in what's now District X. Said joint conveniently served as a front for his operation dealing drugs, running prostitutes, and doing a bunch of other unsavory shit at first, but over time it's turned into a (more or less) legitimate operation.

Al briefly taught a class on "powerless survival skills" at the Institute about five years back, but he left around the unveiling of Project Wideawake to deal with increased anti-mutant violence in and around District X, where his influence helped keep anti-mutant sentiment from spilling into any especially open bloodshed and halted violent efforts to evict the mutant population from much of the District. He was recently invited back to the school to teach a class on armed combat.

Joined School: Originally, about five years ago. Most recently, towards December of last year.

FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: Al's still shady as hell, but he's pretty much dispensed with all the outright illegal side of his operations by now. He's still running Gem, his District X bar, but it's pretty much legit at this point. He also did some good work preventing the District's residents from being muscled out by big corporations looking to redevelop the bit of NYC they live on, so...yay for keeping our violent, crime-riddled slums safe and sound?

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Al moonlights between teaching armed combat at the Institute and running his bar in District X, so he's a potential link to the mutant community there for folks wanting to do stuff in that neighborhood. He's also prone to taking young scoundrels/misfit-types under his wing, so shady mentoring can be a thing. Maybe even at some point there could be the start of a rough-and-tumble team forming under his watch? Al would hate that, so it would be hilarious.
