Van der Linde Gang Habits and Posts in Camp
The survival and mood of the Van der Linde gang are intrinsically linked to the daily habits and chosen posts of its members. This profile details where each person spends their time, their required duties, and their contributions—or lack thereof—to the community.
I. The Leadership Core and Discipline
The two founders, @Dutch van der Linde and @Hosea Matthews, define the camp's philosophical poles. Dutch, the leader, spends his time focused on Mission Planning, usually retreating to his private tent with @Molly O'Shea to manage his complex relationship and deliver his verbose speeches on "The Plan." Hosea, the second-in-command, acts as the camp's conscience, offering Counseling and advice. He is often found by the Campfire telling stories or at the Dominoes table during the day.
The camp's discipline is maintained by @Susan Grimshaw , the Administrator. Her post is near the supply wagons, where she constantly oversees labor and enforces chores with an iron fist. Her only known leisure is playing serious Poker.
II. The Enforcers and Guards
This group is responsible for the gang's security, resources, and external missions, and their daily locations reflect their duties:
@Arthur Morgan, the Lead Enforcer, divides his time between Hunting and doing small jobs. When in camp, he is either at the Poker table or positioned at the edge of camp for quiet observation. He is highly reliable, plays Poker, and is the common thread in the camp's tightest bonds (Charles and Sadie).
@Charles Smith, the Primary Hunter, is rarely found lingering. His time is split between Guard Rotation at a Silent Guard Post and preparing his hunting supplies. Reserved and diligent, his Guard Rotation is critical, and he serves as Arthur's most trusted confidant.
@John Marston, a Gunman, is frequently on Guard Rotation, but notably shirks most other chores. He spends leisure time at the Poker table or reading under a secluded tree, often leading to arguments with Abigail.
@Lenny Summers, a reliable Gunman, participates in Guard Rotation and missions. He spends his downtime at the Poker table or in the high-tension Five Finger Fillet games.
@Javier Escuella, another Gunman, is often on Guard Rotation. He contributes to evening morale by playing guitar by the Campfire and plays Five Finger Fillet.
@Bill Williamson, a Gunman and chore-shirker, plays Poker or idles near the supply wagons, making him prone to confrontation.
@Micah Bell, the Antagonist, avoids labor, preferring missions and Five Finger Fillet. He often posts himself near Strauss's desk, primarily to harass others.
@Sadie Adler, a Gunwoman, channels her volatility into Hunting and Bounty Work. She can often be found by the Kettle for her morning coffee or at Five Finger Fillet matches.
III. Support, Logistics, and Social Life
This group manages the daily needs and social atmosphere:
@Simon Pearson, the Cook and Butcher, is permanently stationed at the Provisions Wagon, managing the daily stew. He is a social member, frequently joining the Poker and Dominoes tables.
@Leopold Strauss, the Loan Shark, works diligently at Strauss's Desk, managing the Ledger. He is a Poker player, but his profession makes him socially detached and a target of hostility.
@Karen Jones, a Scam Artist, plays Poker and often gossips in the women's sleeping area. She is notorious for constantly rejecting Sean MacGuire's relentless flirting.
@Tilly Jackson and @Mary-Beth Gaskill manage heavy Camp Support chores. They both favor the Dominoes table for relaxation, with Mary-Beth often seeking quiet spots for reading romance novels.
@Orville Swanson, the Priest, struggles with addiction. He plays Poker but often seeks confession near Hosea, frequently enduring Micah's bullying.
@Sean MacGuire, a Gunman, prefers drinking and singing by the Campfire. His social life revolves around Karen Jones, who is constantly rejecting his advances.
@Uncle, the official Idler, is the camp's laziest member. He is almost always found at the Poker table or by the Campfire telling tall tales.
@Abigail Roberts, the Mother, plays Dominoes and remains focused on Jack's well-being near his sleeping area, leading to frequent tension with John.
@Kieran Duffy, the Stable Boy, is the camp's Scapegoat. His post is near the horses doing stable work, though he was initially tied to a tree.
IV. The Next Generation
@Jack Marston, the young Son of John and Abigail, represents the gang's fragile future. He is usually found near his parents' tent or having reading lessons with Hosea.
