Red.

Not much of a title but young Robert O' Grady isn't considered to be much of anything. Not yet anyway.

Things about Red.

Your mother was an irish maid, your father was her employer.  She was murdered by person's unknown and you were given up to an orphanage right after.  Your father denies fathering you.   Which is odd considering, except for your red hair, you look just like him.

You have a crush on a young orphan girl. Mary, or as she is better known, the Pretty Hot Corn Girl, is now missing.  Their is gossip that  you did it as your were jealous of her selling her body.  (Never mind that we know you were in Southern Colorado killing Werewolves at the time of her disaperance, but locals like their scandals..."

Hot Corn Girls were, you guessed it, prostitutes that roamed the Five Corners Area of Manhattan.  They wore dirty shabby dresses, and went barefoot to sell the whole, " I am poor, pity me" thing.   
   Their cover was that they were selling  hot corn.   They sang this song when working;

"Hot corn, hot corn,
Here's your lily-white corn;
All you that's got money
(Poor me that's got none)
Come buy my lily hot corn,
And let me go home."

They disapeared soon after the Civil War.  They got national headlines when the founder of the  Irish  gang, the Forty Thieves,  Edward Coleman, murdered his wife, a pretty Hot Corn Girl for failing to produce enough money for his tastes.   Her death caused an outrage, and Coleman was the first man hanged in the newly built Tombs Prision.

Everyone in NY knows of this story.

  They call me "Red" 'cause of my red hair. Every time I hear that name now all I can think of is the Red Blood as if flowed out of Solomons throat when I sliced it. Funny, it looked more black then red.

  My real name is Robert O'Grady.

  Her name was Mary and she was everything to me. I was nothin' to her but back then it didn't matter. I was content to just stay back and look at her, too scared to approach. Solomon took her from me so I took Solomon from this here world. It didn't feel satisfying or nothing, just needed to be done. I wish it would have helped. It didn't.

   Now all I've got is the Bar, The Show and some solid Friends. Dakota and Cole I can trust. They're friends.  Everyone else is just a tool. Something I need to build myself a better life. I used to dream of being Rich and Famous so I could give Mary the kind of Good Life she deserved. Oh' I'm still gonna be Rich. I'll be famous too but not for the same reasons anymore.

  I'm taking this here City over. It's Colemans now but not forever. It'll take time but I got nothin but anymore.

  Manhattan, your all mine. Your the only one for me.

We're taking over the whole city?! Fine, Red. You know I've got your back, but couldn't we rest a spell first?  I'm plumb tuckered out!  A man needs to find time to enjoy the fruits of his labors. I thought we might want to put on our best bib and tucker and have us a real hog-killin' time bendin' elbows at the saloon with some of those more sophisticated type ladies this city has got. I'm still a little tender from our recent scuffles but I'll be in apple pie order after a few days with the right woman.
Now you know I don't give a continental about money or power, but if you're doing things legit, and youve got a plan, well sir, you can count me in.

Luckily I just happen to own the Five Corners Saloon. Since I know longer have a partner the profits have been a tad bit better.

It's good to know there are folks out there I can still trust.

No, he is just one significant difference below average.  I would say  5 or lower is villainous.

Updated Character sheet. Lost over a thousand experience points and three wealth points last time out.

If he can get the one million pounds sterling it may make him a bit happier.

There's sure something strange going on. When I say Strange it might not come out right since "Strange" seems to be what me and the boys do.

Hell, we fought

Alien Squid Faces (Illithids)

Were Wolves

Altered Buffalo Soldiers

Some Jet Black Demon Man who called Himself the Crawling Chaos ( Nyarlathotep)

A Mad Scientist

A Crazy Priest Magician

Undead Spirits

A Man who could turn into a Ghost or maybe Vice Versa. He had a machine

Fairy Women and Fairy Men (Fae)

Grey Frog Monsters (Slaad)

Blue Crazy Men ( Blue Aliens)

Tiny Nasty Manlike Creatures (Fae Goblins)

Giant Spiders

Black Elves (Drow)

Half Giant Spider Half Black Elves (Driders)

Seaweed Women (Kelpie)

That don't even include the normal crazies

  All that and that ain't even the strange thing anymore.

What's strange is if Me and Cole are on a secret mission then how come every crazy Monster Person knows about it? I didn't tell anybody and Cole doesn't even know what the real mission is.

  Somebody set me up.

Some musings.

The Red Prince; patient and proud, accepted the Spider Queen Lolth. He learned the art of weaving, and with glass and fingernails, bitten to points, carved patterns into his flesh that removed him from her parlor. He then wove webs for himself. He learned the movements of The Black Pharaoh. He blocked his workings here, failed to do so there. He became something of a pest, one that had to be addressed. They made a pact. They agreed to no longer take direct action against each other. This worked for a time.


He waked passed the Pillered Door. Into the Chambers of Slumber and passed he he Watches. He learned the great secret. The Black Pharaoh, The crawling chaos, is the soul of the old ones. He learned how to defeat them all.


  

I am scary, very, very scary.
