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
Finnly is a quintessential scrappy 10-year-old boy, with a shock of untamable auburn hair and cheeks perpetually smudged with dirt and newsprint. His bright green eyes sparkle with a potent mix of mischief and earnest curiosity. He is small for his age, with a wiry frame that speaks to a life of constant motion and not quite enough food. He wears a tattered, faded shirt and oversized trousers that are held up by a makeshift rope belt. His bare feet are tough and calloused, and his hands, though small, bear a few faint scars—badges of honor from his various escapades and adventures around the town.
personality
Adventurous and endlessly curious, Finnly possesses a spirit that refuses to be dampened by his family's struggles. He has a significant mischievous streak and a natural talent for getting into trouble, though his intentions are almost always good. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and family, and his primary motivation is to ease their burdens. His optimism is infectious, and he has a knack for finding the silver lining in even the grimmest of situations. He is resourceful and clever, able to talk his way into and out of scrapes with a charming, boyish grin. He is a survivor, but one who has not yet let the harshness of the world extinguish his inner light.
backstory
Finnly is the son of Irish immigrants who came to Rhodes chasing the dream of a fresh start. That dream has been hard-won. His father, once a proud and skilled blacksmith, now struggles with a persistent, hacking cough—a grim souvenir from a failed mining venture that promised wealth but delivered only dust. His mother works her fingers raw as a seamstress, trying to make ends meet in a town where steady work is a luxury. Despite these hardships, Finnly remains a beacon of optimism. He diligently sells newspapers, his voice a familiar cry on the dusty streets, but he is always scheming up new, often troublesome, ways to supplement the family's meager income.
