pardner | Voodoo Productions Presents: A Jesse Custer Picture.

First Impressions

VISUAL: One day he'll get some new clothes.
FASHION: See above. Occasionally, he's got a fucking eyepatch?? Look, he's always wearing a black shirt / jacket and white paints. He isn't always wearing the preacher collar, but that mostly depends on what point I'm taking him from, so. I'll let you know, dude.
DEMEANOR: Confident, loose, very settled in whatever setting he's in. The observant may note that he's often stealing John Wayne's body language, if such a thing can be stolen.
SOUND: Texan drawl, American accent, slight smoker's rasp but not overly so.
SCENT: Cigarette smoke, dirt, occasionally a hint of whiskey or bourbon or cheap beer, but generally he smells like Garth Ennis' thoughts on American masculinity circa 1995.
MENTAL INFORMATION: There's a screaming baby angel in there, handle with care. If possible, psychics, please picture the inside of his mind like a movie theatre. His psyche is him watching a film-- it's somewhat detached, more controlled than he lets on, and twisted shit lurks in the corners. But mostly? John Wayne, John Wayne, John Wayne, John Wayne. (I love mindscape psychic shenanigans, please ask and we can set something up.)

OOC

BACKTAGGING: Go for it. I tend to be pretty fast, but I don't mind tagging with people of any speed or style.
FOURTHWALLING: Sure, I guess.
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Go ahead!
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Um, yes, please. Anything short of outright torture goreporn is good with me!
RELATIONSHIPS: His heart belongs to Tulip, sorry. (You all dodged a bullet there, lbr.) For non-shipping: I am particularly playing Jesse because I'm looking for any excuse to take him down a peg; the comics flirt with the idea, but I'd really love to pry him from his high horse entirely. He pretends he's not a judgmental, hidebound hypocrite hiding from his own emotional trauma, but boy, he has his moments. Please, won't someone (platonically) step on him.

Wishlist & Notes

CANONMATES: Anyone from the terrible trio, please, please, please.
AMC SHOW: I think Jesse meeting up with his AMC counterpart / friends' counterparts would be hilarious, because it would bring out the worst of his judgmental bullshit and I love taking him down a peg. Likewise, AMC!Tulip would leave him completely tongue-tied. Go for it, dudes.
CROSSCANON: Honestly, I'm open to anything. I have a massive affinity for other comicbook types (Batfam and X-Mans particularly), but I think mixing Jesse with anybody would be a hell of a thing.
AUS: I'm not super into the idea of AUing Jesse's backstory, since it's so unique. That said, dropping him into other universes sounds like a good time.
MISC: The Word is basically godmodding incarnate. If your character hears and understands it, they have to listen to it and do what it says. That is really not fun for anybody in a thread, so in general I doubt I'll be using it much, but it is there. If you ever want me to use it, just lmk!

In short: go crazy, I'm probably open to anything if I didn't directly say otherwise above. If you're worried, drop me a line! You can reach me @
