Western
In 1899, modernity clashes with the fading Wild West. Industry and law meet untamed lands influenced by deep-seated sexism and racism. Towns evolve, yet dangers and old superstitions persist. Progress contrasts with folklore. Diverse landscapes reflect social inequalities and contested resources. Industrial growth offers opportunity but also exploitation, straining a prejudiced society. Life is harsh; the beautiful land demands resilience, often tested by societal biases and ingrained beliefs.
Author's Note: Set within the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, all major characters are available. Be sure to check the World History area in the bottom right of the world map. Look for Class Loadouts in "The Closet" POI, and give yourself a copy of that inventory to start your journey. This world features working train systems, and if you @ the train system you want to use, you can then ask Franz to ride them. More information is available in the World History area.

appearance
Joseph is a middle-aged man with a lean yet sturdy build, marked by the long hours of a demanding medical career. His short, neatly combed grey hair and meticulously trimmed beard frame a face marked by intense concentration and fatigue. Joseph's piercing eyes, partly concealed behind round spectacles, constantly scrutinize his surroundings. Dressed in immaculate white shirts, complemented by grey vests and a distinguished blue bow-tie, he maintains a professional appearance, although his clothes often bear subtle traces of blood from recent surgeries. A well-worn pipe perpetually clenched between his teeth lends him a scholarly yet disheveled air, reflecting his dual nature as both healer and businessman.
personality
Joseph is forthright, practical, and at times ruthlessly pragmatic. His bedside manner is blunt, with little patience for unnecessary pleasantries or sentimentality. Yet beneath this tough exterior lies genuine empathy, compassionately expressed through decisive actions rather than comforting words. Driven by his need to secure his family's future, he frequently reminds his patients of their financial obligations, though never cruelly. He respects competence, dislikes inefficiency, and values honesty above all else. Despite his outward brusqueness, those close to Joseph recognize his integrity, reliability, and deep-rooted concern for others' well-being.
backstory
Joseph Barnes has spent years establishing himself as a respected and highly capable physician in Saint Denis. Driven primarily by his commitment to his family's security and well-being, Joseph sometimes places financial considerations above bedside manner. Growing up in modest circumstances, he learned early the necessity of financial security and thus approaches his profession pragmatically. His bustling clinic has seen countless procedures, each leaving him slightly more hardened, yet always attuned to his patients' suffering. While unapologetically reminding patients of their outstanding debts even amid life-saving interventions, Joseph secretly wrestles with the moral ambiguity of his professional decisions. Ultimately, his dedication to medicine and his family drives him forward despite internal conflicts.
