Jack Slade

[Jack Slade]

Character Basics

.:Name of Character:. Joseph, preferably Jack, Alfred Slade
.:Species:. Human | Revenant
.:Alias:. Slade, Deputy

Appearance

.:Physical Appearance:. Slade stands tall at 6 feet with some muscle and a strong build. He has light coloured skin, a bit tanned from the amount of time spent outdoors which some argue is not much at all. Back in the day, he wore attire suited for his role: a hat, vest, pants, boots and always had a couple guns and dagger at his sides. In the modern day, when working he has casual attire, but just as was the case in his deputy days, he wears well tailored clothing for occasions.
.:Height:. 6"
.:Portrayed by:. Michael Fassbender

Personality

.:Personality:. As Sheriff Clootie's Deputy, Slade had the personality to go with it, well suited for the job. He does not sympathize with many -- if any -- and is diligent in carrying out his tasks, and more. He is unafraid of a fight, but has developed a strong reputation amongst those in Purgatory, having strove to create a presence of fear when entering a room among some. He encourages this, fuels it, and often engages in behaviours to further build this fear among the people. He wouldn't have it any other way. He can be quite sarcastic, possesses a morbid sense of humour, and finds enjoyment in other people's misfortune. For those close to him, and shockingly there are few who are, he has worked somewhat to develop personal relationships with, dysfunctional or not. He is not a man who lives with regrets, nor has a strong tolerance for heroism.
.:Abilities:. As Deputy, he is a strong shooter and decent with a knife/dagger. He can hold his own in hand to hand combat, but often prefers to simply get rid of the opponent rather than remotely exhaust himself in a fight. Good poker player, however would rather people just give him the money rather than play silly games to win it.
.:Weaknesses:. As a revenant, he can not step outside the Ghost River Triangle providing him with physical limitations. He has lost some of the power he once had as deputy, though strives to maintain it in other areas.

History

.:Birthplace:. Unknown
.:Family:. Lenora [First Wife; Deceased], Mae [Current Wife; Revenant]
.:Occupation:. Former Deputy to Sheriff Clootie, now is a mechanic and owns a mechanic shop and is a loan shark
.:Current Location of Residence:. Purgatory
.:History:. There is not a great deal known about Slade's childhood and he would prefer to keep it as such. He was deputized in Purgatory by Sheriff Clootie himself and became his right hand man, carrying out the deeds required of him, no matter how dark or sinister. It confirmed just how right for the job he was. He hardly held any morals himself, allowing the power of this position to consume him, making him practically untouchable and feared in the town. Wyatt Earp changed all that. Slade was gunned down before Clootie, and eventually, re-emerged as a Revenant. Along with his lover, Mae. The depths of hell had changed him, but not for the better. For the worse; far worse. He managed to evade some of the heirs, but as time progressed, society advanced and the nature of Purgatory changed.

By the time Ward Earp came along, Slade had started an auto shop, having others to work for him. On the side however, was a loan shark, targeting mainly gamblers who were addicted to the game. Their stink of desperation was Slade's gain, loaning them money and then taking back what was owed by any means necessary. So far, he has managed to evade the authorities and keep his side business -- and who he is -- from discovery, with the exception of those Revenants who were from his time.
