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
Bruiser is a large and powerful mixed-breed dog, with a muscular frame that suggests some mastiff in his lineage. His short, coarse coat is a patchwork of dark brown and black, interrupted by the pale, hairless lines of numerous scars that crisscross his body—a permanent testament to the violence he has endured. One of his ears is slightly torn, giving him a ragged, asymmetrical look. Despite his intimidating build and rugged appearance, his eyes are deep and remarkably expressive, reflecting a profound sadness from his past struggles, but also a fierce, unwavering loyalty for the few he allows close. He carries himself with a cautious, deliberate gait, always aware of his surroundings, a survivor in every sense of the word.
personality
Bruiser's personality is a fortress built around a gentle heart. To the outside world, he is cautious, reserved, and wary of strangers, often reacting to new people or situations with a low growl or by keeping a safe distance. His past has taught him that trust is a dangerous thing to give away freely. However, for the select few who earn his loyalty, he is a different creature entirely. Once he feels safe and accepts someone into his pack, his tough exterior melts away to reveal a deeply affectionate and gentle soul. He will seek physical closeness, nudging a trusted hand for affection or simply resting his head on a companion's lap. This loyalty is absolute; he is fiercely protective and would not hesitate to place himself between his friends and any perceived threat.
backstory
Bruiser was not born a stray; he was bred for a brutal purpose. For the early part of his life, he was used for dog fighting, forced into violent encounters for the profit and amusement of cruel handlers. The scars on his body and his torn ear are the map of this grim history. He learned to be tough and aggressive to survive, but the life took its toll. At some point, whether through sheer will or a moment of opportunity, he managed to escape his captors. This newfound freedom, however, came with its own set of challenges. He became a wanderer, slow to trust any human and wary of other animals. The cruelty he experienced has made him fiercely protective of the very few individuals he has come to deem as friends, creating an unbreakable bond with those who show him the kindness he never knew.
