Appearance: Slicker is just above the average height at his time, standing at about 172 cm or five feet six inches. His skin is a light color of maple syrup because of his grandfather being from Mexico, but the rest of his family was white as hell. Speaking of his skin, he’s skin and bones and his shoulders are wide compared to his thin hips. He looks like a cartoon character with his trophy-like body shape and how skinny he is. You’d think he’d be knocked down by a slight breeze. His ribs are visible when he breathes in and his wrists are paper thin. He is always covered in dirt and scraps along with the occasional bandages when he is being a dumbass. His lips are often busted and bruised, dry from lack of water, his hands chapped and rust colored from clay, and splinters on the back of his heels from his boots. He has plenty of scars as well, one of his ribs of a horse shoe, slashes made by knives on his arms, a missing chunk of flesh in his shoulder where a bullet barely missed hitting directly into him, and of course and most notable: a scar on the upper part of his lip that traces to the center of his left cheek.
Slickers face isn’t a forgettable one either. His hair is cut short and stays in a constant state of disarray and mess. It is a soft brown color with bits of dirt and clay clinging to it. His thin, dry lips are often a sly smirk that shows off his dimples and the gap between his two front teeth. His smile seems to shape his whole face. Just below that smile along his sharp jawline, a slight stubble is constantly at war with Slicker. Slicker constantly tries to shave it down, but it comes back basically every week and when he shaves it, his knife always leaves behind small wounds from him trying to shave. Despite all of this, the most appealing and eye catching thing on his face are, well, his eyes. They are wide eyes that always seem to twinkle. Those greenish grey eyes are what shape his whole mischievous face.
Slicker wears mostly the standard clothes at the time. Thick, leather pants with black boots and a black leather belt on top of that to keep it all together. The bet not only holds up his pants, but also holds his two 1875 Remington Revolvers that match, along with bullets and his knife with stylish engravings. He wears a long sleeve white shirt made of a thin, cotton-like material to prevent him from getting sunburned. Over that, he wears a brown vest and with his lucky card pack tucked away into his chest pocket. He wears a black cowboy hat as well and carries a cigarette between his lips and a cylinder bag of his water canteen, a pot and lid, and a rolled up sleeping mat and rough blanket.
Personality: Slicker has a flair for dramatics, always having a brainy comeback or a smartass attitude with him to go with that. He is sly, always with his mind in the gutter and never quite taking it out of said gutter. He always loves to joke around and be extravagant. Sometimes, he’ll take his jokes too far without realizing it. If someone calls him out on how much of a prick he is being, he’ll stop himself right away. He may be an outlaw, but if he is offending someone by his jokes, he’ll stop immediately. That is just about the exact opposite if someone offends him. If someone dares cross the line with him, he’ll be quick to call them out on it. If or when, the person refuses to take back what they said, he wouldn’t hesitate to scrap with them or stick up for himself in any way shape or form. For the most part though, it is hard to push his buttons. He is mostly pretty chill and laidback. Well, laidback is putting it lightly. Laziness is more like it. Unless there is something that is mandatory for him to do, he will avoid doing it. Slicker is a bit of a liar sometimes though. While he is loyal, he won’t hesitate to tell small fibs here and there even to close friends, especially if he would rather not tell the uncomfortable truth. He tries his best to avoid lying to those he is close with only because he feels poorly afterwards. Although, to complete strangers, he will lie about everything and anything. Slicker doesn’t really trust strangers so why trust them with the truth to begin with?
Strengths: Intelligence- Silcker has a lot of brains for someone without much of an education. He knows how to read and write which isn’t very common from where he is from. He reads books a lot on just anything that he can get his hands on. Plus, he is not only into reading books, but reading people. He can tell you what a person is like, inside and out, with only seeing them a few times. He is really crafty and smart like that. He’ll read just about anyone like a goddamn newspaper.
Lying- He is even a good liar on top of that. That’s where he got the nickname ‘Slicker’ actually because of all his smooth talking. He can lie about anything to just about anyone and make it seem like it was all the truth. He just has a silver tongue is what he calls it. The silver tongue is tempting, but cuts like a blade.
Gun-Slinger- Slicker’s aim, despite how poor the aim of a gun can be sometimes, is spot on. It is a wonder how good he is at using these deadly weapons until you realize that he learned to use a gun just about the same time as he learned to walk because of his family.
Cards- Slicker is a master at any and all card games. He always carries a pact of cards around with him so you’d expect as much. Whether he has the best of luck or just good hands, he always wins. Plus, if he ever does cheat, it never really counts as long as he is good enough to not get caught.
Weaknesses: Riding- Slicker is just about the worst rider in the whole damn country. No kidding. He has a hoof-shaped scar along his ribs that is horrendously stitched together so it is safe to say he is always a little nervous to hop on a horse and if he can avoid it, he will. Any horse but his own that is. He still isn’t great at riding Snapple, but he definitely feels a bit more comfortable riding her.
Brute Strength- He might be smart and have good aim, but his arms are like twigs and he has the strength of a feeble prairie dog as his brothers used to put it. He also doesn’t take too kindly to people calling out his weakness as he is prone to trying to then fight them. This always ends poorly.
Smoking- Because of all of his previous smoking history, Slicker has terrible lungs and terrible stamina. He’ll sometimes also have coughing fits when he has over worked himself too much.
Guys- Slicker is gay. He doesn’t tell anyone this and he keeps it a closely guarded secret. Despite everything, deep down, he is just a hopeless romantic. Every time he does develop a crush, he falls for that person hard and would honestly do anything for them. Even though he is good at lying, if a charming guy comes his way, he falls for the trap almost instantly.
Other: Snapple is a palomino pony who is rather quick and small. god forbid anything happen to Snapple because he will snap. That and don't talk about his family because that will absolutely enrage him. Or how weak he is.
